When Cithians Attack

  Chapter 14 My Audition

  The western Sun’s rays hit my face. I opened my eyes. I got out of bed. I picked out a light blue shirt and black jeans from my dresser. I went to the bathroom. I came out with my hair dripping. I had the clothes I picked out on. I threw my dirty clothes in the laundry chute.

  Chaser snored as I tiptoed to my dresser. I tapped on my communicator. My dad’s face appeared.

  “Hiya, dad. I have some bad news.”

  “What is it?” my dad said.

  “Pedro and Kodyack were kidnapped.” I said.

  “When?” my dad said.

  “Yesterday.” I said.

  “I don’t know what to say.” my dad said.

  “I entered the Warrior Power Battle Competition.” I said.

  “Who’re you fighting for your audition?” my dad said.

  “Nester Green.” I said.

  “Who is that?” my dad said.

  “A boy from my class.” I said.

  “Okay.” my dad said.

  “Are you okay with me fighting Nester?” I said.

  “Sure I am. I fought Sade for my audition.” my dad said.

  “Cool.” I said.

  “I’m coming to visit you.” my dad said.

  “Where are you now?”

  “I’m just about to walk into a brown portal.”

  “I’ll meet you at the front of the castle.”

  I ran out the boys’ dorm door. I stood in front of the fireplace. I shot a orb of light at the fireplace. It slid backwards. I walked into a narrow hallway. At the end of it, was a golden pedestal with a red orb carved into it.

  I touched it. A door appeared. I opened it. I appeared in the Hall of Sayis Dragons. I ran out the double doors and to the front doors.

  I opened them. My dad and my mom were in front of me.

  “Hiya, dad. Any news on Crystal?” I said.

  “No. But, our house has become a crime scene. So we're looking for a temporary home.” my dad said.

  “We’re thinking about moving in with Grandpa Judedick. “ my mom said.

  “Wow. I didn’t know Crystal’s kidnapping made such an impact.” I said.

  “Oh, it has. I still can’t forget the alarms going on as she screamed.” my mom said.

  “Neither can I.” My dad said. I lead them inside. Alarms blared. A red orb appeared. It materialized into Furliceo. Mitchell appeared.

  Furliceo shot a orb of darkness towards me. Mitchell jumped in front of me. The orb hit him as Furliceo disappeared in a flash of lightning.We all ran up to him. I picked him up and took him to hospital hall. A lady dressed in white came towards us.

  “Hi. I’m Beatrice Frazier. What seems to be the problem?” she said.

  “My brother was hit by a orb of darkness. Can you help him?” I said.

  “Sure. I’ll try. Lay him down on the bed.” Beatrice said.

  I laid Mitchell on the bed. Beatrice hooked him up I.V. and a heart monitor. It beeped as his heart rate dropped. I touched him. His heart rate rose.

  Mitchell opened his eyes. I hugged him tightly. Nester appeared.

  “Skyrid, it’s time for our audition.” he said.

  “Alright. But what about Mitchell?” I said.

  “You can leave him. He needs his rest.” Beatrice said.

  A green portal appeared. We walked into it. We appeared in front of a huge Colosseum. It was heavily guarded by guardians. My dad walked up to them.

  “I’m a Sayis. So let us in.” he said. The guards backed away. We all walked into the Colosseum. There was a battle going on. It was between a shady black boy and Furliceo. They both were dressed in armor. Furliceo was in his Sayis form. The shady black kid was in green samurai armor.

  The shady black kid threw a clear white beam at Furliceo. Furliceo dodged it by turning into a fluorescent orb. Materializing, Furliceo threw an orb of darkness at the kid. The shady black kid threw a beam of light at it. Furliceo threw a beam of darkness at the orb. They both stretched back and forth as the orb expanded. Bang! It exploded; throwing them both against the wall. The referee went between them.

  “This battle is a draw!” he said, blowing his whistle. Furliceo and the shady black kid were taken to hospital hall. Nester and I went onto the battlefield. We got into our battle positions. A man in a suit tie came in between us.

  “That’s my son out there! ” my mom shouted from the crowd.

  “Now presenting our Judges. Jason Steele,” the man said.

  A white man came into the Colosseum. He was wearing a silver jacket, a blue dress shirt, and Jeans. He had baby blue eyes.

  “Grid Haser,”

  A man came into the Colosseum. He had pasty white face. Silver glasses lay over his green eyes. He was wearing a black suit, a red dress shirt, and black pants. He was bald. They both sat down at the judges table behind us.

  “And, Jasine Gray.”

  A woman came into the Colosseum. She had a milky white face. Her eyes were a mint green. Her brown hair was hanging down by her shoulders. She was wearing a black dress that showed her boobs.

  She sat beside the other Judges. The announcer backed away from the middle of us as the referee stood in between us.

  “Fight!” he yelled. He backed away. I threw a beam of light into the air. Armor formed onto me.It was yellow.

  Nester threw a beam of darkness into the air. Red armor formed onto him. I threw a beam of light at Nester. Nester threw an orb of Darkness at the beam. I swayed back and forth.

  I strained in pain as the energy in my body drained out. Sweat drenched my face.Nester threw a beam of darkness at the orb. We both swayed back and forth as we strained to keep power on each of our sides. The orb exploded; throwing both of us against the walls.

  We both fell to the ground. I got up despite the pain in my chest. Nester got up. I threw a beam of light at him; throwing him against the wall. Nester fell to the ground.

  Nester got in a crawling position. Brown fur appeared on him. His hands and feet turned into paws. His fingers turned into claws. A mane appeared on his neck. His green eyes turned black. Whiskers grew out of his face. Nester roared.

  Nester jumped into the air. Phoenix wings grew out of his back. I threw a beam of light at Nester. He flew into the air to dodge it. Nester landed on top of me. The referee came in between us; pushing Nester off of me.

  “Nester has won the first round. Now for round two.”

  Nester flew over to his side of the battlefield. I got up. I threw a beam of light at Nester. He flew over it. I threw an orb of light and a beam of light at Nester. They both hit him; throwing him against the wall. The referee came in between us again.

  “Skyrid is the winner of round two. The final round starts now.” he said. The Ref. backed away. Nester fell down and turned back into his warrior form. He threw a beam of darkness at me. I dodged it by swaying side to side. I threw a green orb at Nester.

  The crowd cheered as the orb hit him; it pushed him back a few feet. Sweat dripped off my face. I threw a beam of lightning at Nester. It threw him against the wall. Nester fell to the ground. The Referee blew his whistle as he came up to me. He forced my hand into the air.

  “The winner, Skyrid Crop!” he said. The announcer walked into the center of the battlefield.

  “Judges, do you accept Skyrid into the competition?” he said. Jason looked up.

  “Skyrid, you have a very unique fighting style. You beat a Lionix! Which is amazing! I mean, you did spectacular! Yes, I accept him!” he said. Jasine looked at me.

  “Jeffrey, I loved this fight. You announced it well. It was just dang gum amazing! So, it’s a yes from me.” she said. Grid stared at me.

  “I cannot believe my eyes. You beat a mythical creature! I’m just totally speechless! Yes, you can fight in this competition!” he said.

  We all walked out of the Colosseum. My dad opened a two blue portals. Nester and I walked into the first one as my mom and
dad walked into the second one.
