Corrupted Radiatons

by Michael Rogers

  ?????: "Perhaps we shouldn't waste time and focus on the reason why we are here." *A man spoke with pride and respect.*

  Sakurai: "Talking out of line, too, Ordin?"

  Ordin: *He punched his chest, showing Sakurai respect.* "Please, your excellence."

  Sakurai: *He sighed and cupped his hands in front of him.* "That mountain in the distance-"

  *Sakurai swayed to the side and waved his arm towards the mountain in the very far distance.*

  Sakurai: "This training is called, The Length's Powerup." *He looked at Ginger, Ordin, Synthoss and three other students.* "Are you listening Kayliana?"

  *A beautiful young woman with glistening pale blonde hair looked up to Sakurai, shyly nodding her head.*

  Sakurai: "Johnasire?" *He grunted to a medium built man with a set of shining yellow eyes.*

  Johnasire: *He nodded his head, trying not to focus on the mountain in the distance.* "My eyes tell me it's-" *He scratched the facial hair on his chin.* "Three hundred kilometres, or one hundred and eight-six miles! Or five Reality Marble pockets!-"

  Sakurai: *He completely ignored Johnasire and looked towards a short, stubby, rat-faced woman.* "Carrie!"

  Carrie: *She scratched under her arm and shook her head, causing three strands of brittle looking hair to spiral onto her shoulders.* "Five Reality Marble pockets? That's impossible!"

  Sakurai: "Ginger, Ordin, Synthoss! All of you, give me your fullest attention!"

  Synthoss: "What is the purpose of this training?"

  Sakurai: "Whoever hits the mountain with any of their Remenistal, Azure Bursts, first, will instantly become the Guardian of the greatest city on the continent."

  Ginger: "..." *She silently listened to Sakurai, as if she didn't want to be here.*

  Synthoss: "Well then! I will become the ruler's Guardian!"

  Ginger: (Is this father's way of punishing me-?)

  Synthoss: "AYON RAPTURE" *She screamed with an echoing voice and a crack-like line of air shattered towards the mountain.*

  Sakurai: *He watched the line stop cracking, before fading away.* "Useless-"

  Synthoss: "Time freeze, three inverted stars gather-" *A purple glyph drew itself on the ground around her and she pushed forward, causing multiple crack-like lines of air to shatter away from her.*

  Ordin: (She's using the boost from the incantation to extend her reach-)

  Synthoss: "AYON RAPTURE" *She screamed with an echo and watched the line of cracks slow down.*

  Sakurai: (It's doubled the length-)

  *Synthoss quickly widened her eyes, causing the cracks to thicken and quicken towards the end of her line of sight.*

  Sakurai: (Almost five times farther!-)

  Synthoss: "Kh-" *Her eyes reverted back to normal and she buckled at the knees.*

  Sakurai: "Your eagerness doesn't hold true to your Remenistic abilities."

  Synthoss: "Huh?" *She looked up and watched bird-like Scoldrants glide through the clouds in the corner of her eye.*

  Sakurai: "You were nowhere near the target-"

  Carrie: *She scratched a mole on her face and violently shook her head.* "That was only ten-"

  Johnasire: "Eleven kilometres, or-"

  Sakurai: "I don't need to know the distance if it was a failure! How illogical!"

  Ginger: (Synthoss and I have a similar ability, if she can't reach even one forth of the goal, how am I-?)

  Sakurai: "Kayliana, Ginger, Ordin, Carrie, Johnasire, begin it!"

  Kayliana: "'Kay!" *Vein-like streams of glistening light flowed from her hair and down her arm, causing a massive expanding glyph to spiral from her hands.*

  Carrie: *She placed each of the undersides of her wrists against her mouth and bit down, causing blood to string down her arms.* "Blood-Stream Talons!"

  *Carrie quickly flicked her arms to each side and scratched the air towards the mountain, causing thick streams of blood to spiral into the distance.*

  Ordin: "Azure Burst!" *He admired his smooth, flawless skin on his face and straightened his arm to the side, causing a wave of sparks to scatter around an enormous royal-like sword.*

  Kayliana: "Flash of the storm, smear upon the skies, blue waves crashing down, chain reaction, LIGHTNING CHAIN BLAST"

  Johnasire: *His eyes sparkled and two small red glyphs spiralled in front of his face.* "The divine art bright as the holy sun, number eighty nine-" *He reached up and tapped the glyphs with his fingers, causing them to expand in front of his hands.*

  Ginger: (Ey, it will be illogical to use low based Remenistal and exhaust Neurons.. I will use a Grand Remenistal immediately!)

  Johnasire: *He rammed his hands together, causing the glyphs to shatter into one huge glyph.* "CRIMSON BEAM"

  Ordin: "The destructive arts number seventy four-" *A wave of aura shrouded his sword, taking shape of it.*

  Sakurai: *He cautiously stepped to the side, as if he was intimidated by the size of Ordin's sword.* (That aura is very powerful.)

  Ordin: "Hard Blade."

  Kayliana: *Her hair blew back as eight thick streams of fluoro yellow lightning shot into the distance.* "Harhhrhrh." *She laughed at her own power, as string of lightning sparked upwards slightly frizzing her hair.*

  Sakurai: *He watched the lightning light up the surrounding sky.* (These people are very strong-)

  Johnasire: "Neurons built up! Harh!" *He pushed forward, blasting a fluoro crimson beam of flames towards the mountain.*

  *The strings of lightning spiralled around the beam of flames and violently sparked into it, causing massive orange coloured explosions.*

  Johnasire: *He took quick small steps backwards and lowered his arms, revealing several burns on his fingers.* (The Rasticsplash wasn't that bad.) "Oi, not cool, Keylun!"

  Kayliana: "It's actually Kay-lee-arn-a!" *She hissed with a smirk, as her lightning continued to travel distance.*

  Johnasire: *He quickly looked at Sakurai.* "She used her Remenistal to stop mine!"

  Sakurai: *He shrugged his shoulders.* "You should have placed a better coat of Astragons, preventing that from happening."

  Johnasire: "No fair!"

  Kayliana: "Quit being so sassy."

  Carrie: *She sucked in her lips, as if she was dribbling from the concentration.* "I'm running-"

  *Carrie lowered her arms, causing streams of blood to suddenly splatter on the ground, catching the healer's attention.*

  Sakurai: *He snapped his fingers, as if he knew Carrie would need assistance, causing the healers to run towards Carrie.* (That's three down already.)

  Ordin: "For the majestic city and its ruler!" *He took four mighty lunges and jabbed the sword forward like a spear, causing the aura to pierce through the air.*

  Carrie: "That power!" *She yelped like a rodent and collapsed to her knees.*

  Ordin: *He watched his Azure Burst blur into the distance, as his eyes couldn't see that far.* "It's still going!"

  Johnasire: *His eyes flashed, amplifying his vision.* (It's passed Kayliana's Remenistal-)

  Kayliana: "Ah, I tried." *She lowered her arms in a happily defeated manner, causing the lightning to flash into the air.*

  Johnasire: (Out of everyone, the farthest attack to go is half the distance.) *He glanced at Kayliana.* (Long-range attacks are best suited for archers, or Remenistal that begin long distance. Using our Remenistal from a distance, the Neurons slowly dissipate into the air causing it to be weak-)

  Ordin: "That's the furthest my honour can take me." *He lowered the sword, causing the tip to spark against the ground.*

  Carrie: "Sharp-"

  Masked Man A: "Don't talk, you've lost a lot of blood."

  Johnasire: (Ordin's is undoubtedly the furthest, and that's without using Remenistal.) *He thought to himself, as if he didn't respect Azure Bursts.* (All that's left is-)

  Ginger: "Try my Grand Remenistal! Please respond!" *She shouted with an echoing voice, cueing the area to become pitch black.*

  Kayliana: (A Grand Remenistal? Why use it ri
ght off the bat?) *She flicked her hair in a girl-like manner.* "Look at her trying to use her sass."

  *Orbs of light started to float in front of Ginger, catching Sakurai's attention.*

  Sakurai: *He tried to hide his surprise, but failing to do so as his jaw started to drop.* "Teresa's-?"

  Ginger: "Flora filled with pure Neurons, use the nectar and form a divinity spectre, as one with nature and as one with power-"

  *Ginger slightly bent her knees and hunched forward, as she suddenly lifted off the ground.*

  Sakurai: (These level of Neurons, it's the same as her family!-)

  *The orbs spiralled into the ground and a human-sized flower bud grew out of the ground.*

  Sakurai: (Since the area has darkened, we won't be hurt by the Grand Remenistal unless she considers us a threat.) *He tried to calm himself down.*

  *The flower blossomed into a massive white rose with teal shadow around the petals.*

  Ginger: *She flicked her fingers up, causing the petals to float into the air around her.* "I will show you the power of top tier and what it takes to become the level of prodigy, TERESA'S BLOSSOM"

  *Ginger waved back and threw her arms forward, moving the petals into the distance at a speed as if they were being shot.*

  Ginger: *She watched the petals fly out of her sight, as she slowly landed on her feet.* (With the intensity of Neurons and the swirling motion I placed the Astragons-) *She squinted her eyes with confidence, as the light reverted back to normal.* (I will logically be the one to-)

  Johnasire: "The Neurons faded."

  Sakurai: *He looked at Johnasire.* "You all have failed."

  Ginger: "I-... Illogical." *She whispered on her breath with widening eyes.*

  Ordin: *He sighed.* (Nothing will get me down.) *He thought to himself with a frown.* (If I lose my unwavering drive to complete my goals, I might as well say goodbye to my self-worth-)

  Sakurai: "You will be up here for the next three days until one of you hit the mountain."

  Johnasire: "It's impossible!-"

  Sakurai: *He smirked.* "Just like the other levels of the training process-"

  Ginger: "Punishment."

  Sakurai: "Punishment."

  Ginger: "We were beaten until we produced results. You could say it's not a very effective training method, but once you started to fear for your life, you had no choice but to keep pushing."

  Sakurai: "Ougi." *He spoke on his breath, causing the students to gasp in fear.*

  Carrie: "Narh!"

  Johnasire: "You gotta be kidding!"

  Kayliana: "Your sass won't ever hurt me! I'm an independent woman!"

  Ginger: "Ey, Sakurai, I thought we were beyond this!"

  Ordin: "I won't ever give up." *He jammed his sword into the ground and tightly closed his lips, readying himself physically and mentally.*

  Sakurai: "The Shi's Keikaku."

  --

  *Ginger suddenly gasped in shock, as the sounds of whips echoed in her mind.*

  Ginger: "It hurts!" *She wheezed in pain and felt her back.* "It hurts!"

  *Strands of hair stuck to Ginger's forehead, as she started to have a cold sweat.*

  Ginger: "No! Please respond!"

  ?????: "Who's there?!" *A man dressed in concealing robes with a cone-shaped hat, walked into the meadow behind Ginger.*

  Ginger: "Sakurai?!" *She screamed and placed both hands on her head, as if she was trying to block out the noises.*

  ?????: "No! This is Buttella!"

  Ginger: "Ykkt!" *She scrunched her eyes shut and suddenly calmed herself down.*

  Buttella: "What a horrible feeling." *A purple-ish grey glyph pulsed from his chest, beating just like a heart.*

  Ginger: "Ey? My emotions?"

  Buttella: "Sorry for intruding, but I had to tap into your Neurons and alter your emotions."

  Ginger: "Empath?"

  Buttella: "That's correct."

  Ginger: "Ykkt." *She grunted at herself in an annoyed-like manner.*

  Buttella: "What was all that about?"

  Ginger: "Something I tend to forget."

  Buttella: "Please explain."

  Ginger: "Yoh?" *She turned around and faced Buttella while wiping the sweat off her forehead.* "I did not realise it was logical to explain my deepest emotions with a stranger." *She spoke to Buttella as if he was an idiot.*

  Buttella: "Well then."

  Ginger: "How pathetic. Do you enjoy this trait you portray? Please respond." *She looked past Buttella and to the village, cueing her to walk towards it.*

  Buttella: "Well that's a strange way of thanking someone?"

  Ginger: "Pry into other people lives, it is illogical to expect praise." *She hissed and walked past Buttella without losing sight on the village.*

  Buttella: "Is that why you've sealed most of your Remenistal?"

  Ginger: "Gnh-" *She paused in mid-step and felt the wind, as she attempted to respond.*

  ----------

  *Luna and Destiny walked on the outskirts of the village, listening to the Scoldrants.*

  Luna: (It's pretty kool being able to know wat they mean.)

  Destiny: *She flew by Luna's side.* (You can understand what they mean?)

  Luna: (Nah, like, they still sound like animals, but I just know wat they mean.)

  Destiny: "Yeup." *She meowed in agreement.*

  ?????: "Yumyum." *A villager with a cone-shaped hat stepped in front of Luna's walking path.*

  Luna: *She stopped, facing the villager.* "Aye?"

  ?????: "People call me Coco, but you can call me Coco." *She smiled and shook her bottom.*

  Luna: "Umm, wat?"

  Destiny: *She kept focus on Coco.* (I don't feel anything bad from her.)

  Luna: (Her? Aha, they all look the same.)

  Coco: "I was immediately drawn to you."

  Luna: "I ain't like that-" *She shook her head and hands, implying she wasn't interested.*

  Coco: *She sighed and adjusted her cone-shaped hat.* "Just because someone shows interest in you, doesn't necessarily mean their motives are any less."

  Luna: "Wut?" *She grunted and folded her arms.*

  Coco: "You are so filled with hate, resentment and anger-"

  Destiny: "Huesst." *She hissed at Coco.*

  Luna: "Get fucked, aye." *She grunted and readied to leave.*

  Coco: "I'm offering some assistance."
