The Scavenger Hunt Of Love!

Leyland Adventures Chapter Eight: Part Two

With everyone focused and smiles vanishing, Lily launched the ball upwards, striking it with a fierce slap. The ball soared towards Rico, who was quick enough return it, aiming for Aradressa. She sent it back at Tysashi who then targeted Lily. Electricity crawled around her body as she met with the ball to return it with her foot, turning an innocent volleyball into a high voltage threat. Rico leaped towards it as he slammed the ball towards Aradressa, splitting the clouds. At that moment, Aradressa's eyes sparkled. A sudden shift in her mind caused her to unleash only a portion of the god-like strength she had. Her fist sent the ball flying towards the opposing team, it was too fast for them to counter therefore she scored.

"Nice one, but we can play rough as well", Rico slapped the ball with incredible force, sending it across the water.

The true battle now commenced as Lily shot the ball with her fist, Tysashi reflected it back to Aradressa, who sent it flying over a long distance. Rico managed to catch up with it, sending it back completely swallowed by water flowing around it, drawing power from the pre-existing water at sound breaking speeds.

"Try returning that!" He yelled.

With her mind swayed, Aradressa took deep breaths as spirals of flames orbited her body. As the volleyball grew closer, the more Aradressa became encased in her own power. This was it, now or never, the ball was just inches away and Aradressa simply held it back with her hand as her flames infected the ball as it was violently shot back. Tysashi rose up and remitted the ball back with his exposed foot.

The two went back and forth sending the ball back to each other as Rico and Lily just watched. The ball flew at bare neck speeds, completely sealed with fire. The area around them began to quake as the two exchanged powerful returns. At one point, Aradressa enveloped the ball in an orb of fire, increasing its size too that of the moon.

"Man, this is so much fun, Lennon would've loved this!"

In the few moments after that thought had entered his mind, the memories of Lennon had taken over his focus. His reminiscences about his brother made him shed a tear as a slight frown appeared on his face. Lennon was into intense sports and was extremely competitive, even when he lose, it was always in good fun.

"Tysashi, look out!" Lily shouted.

Without his knowledge, the orb that Aradressa had been forming finally reached its moon level size and was already impossible to dodge. The orb forced and dragged Tysashi along the water, constantly dealing damage as it deteriorated in size. Once the orb reached its smallest size, the reminding amount of energy was used to violently explode, sending Tysashi high into the air, quickly dropping back down only to get his head consumed by the sand.

Aradressa had ultimately came to her senses and realized that damage she had caused. She screamed out his name, flying towards his need as she did during their first encounter.

Tysashi was buried headfirst into the sand, only his wiggling legs were in view. Aradressa pulled him out the sand and from his emergence were two Seaside Seashells in both hands. Aradressa frantically apologized for her actions, afraid that she had ruined the growing friendship between them. As always, Tysashi was mellow about the accident, but despite that, Aradressa still felt as if there was a change in their friendship, even the slightest change would upset her greatly and with that, she continued to apologize. While the repeated apologies ran back and forth, Rico and Lily came to check on his wellbeing. Lily, however was especially concerned.

She inspected every part of his body for any signs of injury, finally squishing his facial cheeks while getting lost in his eyes. Lily sighed dreamily as she continued to squish his cheeks, later withdrawing herself from his face only to announce that he was ok with slight burns on his clothes.
