The round started with, as usual, the referee yelling "Round Start!" and waving the referee flags. One would think that there is no need for it to state the obvious and yell "round start" or, really, anything at all, for the league had no rules on how a referee should start a round, but the referee seemed intent on yelling something for some strange reason or another. Either way, the round started, and the all-too-familiar rumble of the Chaos Engine started again. This time, however, the rumble sounded strange, or at least stranger than usual. There was a certain, almost bell-like quality to it...
That could be due to the fact that a bell was ringing, and not just any bell: it was a school bell, the sound that shows the beginning of class, homework, tests, lectures, school lunches, and basically everything a person can hate or will hate once he or she or it learns about it. Alias and ed'Rashtekaresket found themselves sitting (or, in ed'Rashtekaresket's case, lying) in a chair in a classroom, right next to each other. There were several rows of desks and chairs in the well-lit classroom, all lined up in neat rows, and they were all empty. A teacher that looked suspiciously like the referee with glasses was standing on a slightly raised platform on the front of the classroom, writing something in chalk on the blackboard. A normal, yellow school bus could be seen parked outside the classroom in a deep fog.It engine seemed to be on.
"... And that's how you do the problem," the teacher explained, tapping the chalk on the board. It turned to face its two students. "Now, do you guys understand?"
The squirtle and carvanha blinked slowly and carefully exchanged looks. Ed'Rashtekaresket moved first. Slapping his tail hard against the chair, the Carvanha shot out of his seat... and flew straight into the ceiling. Thankfully, the ceiling had been made with the crappy, flimsy, sometimes-turns-brown-for-seemingly-no-reason-at-all material school ceilings are made of, and ed'Rashtekaresket went straight through the panels without problems. He crashed into a few pipes, turned on the sprinklers, set off the fire alarm, as well as made another neat fish-shaped hole in the building as he flew through the roof. Panicking students and teachers could be seen running out of the school from his high vantage point. All in a day's work, ed'Rashtekaresket thought to himself as he continued to rise.
Alias growled. That stupid fish had managed to escape before he can beat the crap out of it! Ugh! He stood up from his chair, ready to attack, but his injured leg suddenly gave out from underneath him and the Squirtle crashed onto the ground, knocking over a few desks and chairs. The Aqua Ring swirled around him and faded, leaving him feel kind of cheated. The Squirtle growled again and stood up. The fish should be coming down soon now.... Revenge will happen a bit later. Alias focused and solidified a wall on energy into a glowing, protective dome around him, waiting for the Carvanha to come falling down.
"Claaaaasss! What are you doing! I told you, there will be no fighting in the classroom! That was the reason you guys got detention in the first place!" The teacher yelled angrily. "You guys have just earned a trip to the principal's office. Now come with me! And Ed, get down from there! You'll have to pay for the damage later." Then, under its breath, "sheesh, kids these days..."
Ed'Rashtekaresket had heard the commands and knew what to do -- a Double Team Bounce, was it? He angled himself in midair and took aim, before realizing that he had no way of knowing where the Squirtle is now that his view is obscured by the school roof. He would just have to take a chance... Ed'Rashtekaresket closed his eyes and let himself fall, feeling the momentum build up. His shape seemed to blur, and there was soon five other Carvanhas following behind him. Ed'Rashtekaresket crashed head on through the roof, his clones following neatly, and, to his surprise, hit a glowing green dome. He can see Alias hissing furiously through the energy wall, and as he and his clone bounced off the Protect, Alias let the energy fade away and roared, his fist drawn back. He ran forward at a Carvanha and punched furiously, only for his attack to go straight through as one of the Carvanha doubles disappeared. Five other Carvanhas looked smugly at the Squirtle while inwardly thanking that the attack had missed.
The world blurred for a split second, and Alias and the five ed'Rashtekareskets found themselves back at the normal battlefield. The referee waved its flags, signifying the end of the round.A few wisps of the leftover Haze floated around lazily, but they were of no bother anymore.
