" JAYE WAKE UP" Maki yelled as I fell out of the top bunk onto the floor
" Yes Maki" I said as I rubbed my head
" You have to get ready for the rookie fire soldier games" Maki said
" Ugh why do I have to do that" I asked
" Because you didn't do it last time" Maki said
" That wasn't my fault" I said
" Who's fault was it" Maki asked as I glared at her
" T-that doesn't matter now, get up so we can train" Maki said as I groaned and put my orange jumpsuit on but tied the top around my waist as I followed Maki to the roof so we could train
" Now let's go" Maki said as her eyes glowed purple
" Ok ready" I said as my eyes glowed purple as well
" COME AT ME" Maki yelled as I ran towards her
" HA" I said as I threw a punch but Maki dodged it and swept my feet
" Not so fast" I said as fire came from my feet which made me fly away from the incoming punch to the gut
" SOLAR FLARE" I yelled as fire was lit from my hands as a shining bright light blinded my sister
" W-when did you learn to do this" Maki said as I appeared beside her and punched her stomach and she flew back but was able to catch herself
" Nice trick" Maki said as she ran towards me and we exchanged blows
" What are you guys doing" Hinawa asked as we stopped with our right fist stopping in front of eachothers face
" Sparring" Maki said as she never took her eyes off of me
" Well stop" Hinawa said
" Why" I said as Hinawa glared at me and we both settled down
" The new rookie is here" Hinawa said as he left and soon Sister Iris came up
" Ugh, let's just chill out ok" Maki said as I nodded and sat on a cover that Maki brought up
" Rise and shine, Sputter" Maki said as she made a fire and then brought up a ball of fire with a face on it
" You really are something else, Maki" Iris said as I smirked
" I can do the same thing" I said as I made a fire ball and threw it in the air and it soon made a face as it landed on my hand
" Meet Gutter" I said
" Woah, it's better than the last time" Maki said smirking
" W-whatever" I said
" Hey careful" I said
" It's hot Iris" Maki said as the door blew open with Shinra attacking this blonde
" We're finally gonna settle the score for good" Shinra said
" Since you insist, I'll have to show you the difference in our power" The blonde said as he held a wooden sword with no blade
" With that thing, you're not gonna do anything" I said as the blonde glared at me
" Who are you" Maki asked
" The realm know me as Arthur Boyle, the knight king" Arthur said as I burst out laughing
" HEY WHAT'S SO FUNNY" Arthur yelled
" The knight king" I asked
" Yes the knight king" Arthur said as I giggled
" May you be the princesses of this castle" Arthur asked
" Huh?" Maki, Iris and I said
" You are cute really, such a shame that you looked down on my knightly doings" Arthur said
" Who" I asked
" You m'lady" Arthur said as I looked down at the ground
" Aw you messed up" Shinra said
" What do you mean" Arthur asked as I glared at him
" GO GET HIM GUTTER" I yelled as the fireball went after Arthur but a blue beam came from the sword and cut my gutter in half
" You think that's enough to stop him" I said as the slice ball became two Gutter's
" W-what the hell" Arthur said
" YOU BETTER TAKE BACK WHAT YOU SAID PRETTY BOY" I yelled as I ran after him
" Hey, what's going on" Hinawa asked as me and Maki stood next to each other saluting with Shinra in front of us
" Lieutenant Hinawa" Maki and I said
" Ugh would you stop it" Maki and I said as we both just huffed and looked the other way
" We've just met the new recruit, Arthur" Maki said
" It turns out that he and Shinra went to the same academy" I said as Hinawa poured coffee on sputter and then glared at me
" Ok ok" I said as the two gutter's went out
" Fire Soldiers don't play with fire" Hinawa said
" Right....." Maki said
" G-got it" I said as he taped up the little picnic we were having
" So you're Arthur Boyle" Hinawa asked
" Sure am, glad to be working with you" Arthur said
" Come on, man you heard them call him lieutenant, right" Shinra asked
" We all stand as equals before the round table, he needn't bow" Arthur said
" Says the lowest rank soldier in this crew" Hinawa said as I held my mouth as I laughed a little
" Latom" Iris said
" Whatever" Arthur said as I burst out laughing as the others looked dumbfounded not expecting him to say that
" The rookie games are coming up, I want to see what you got in advance" Hinawa said
" Now Maki, you take on Shinra and Jaye you take on Arthur" Hinawa said as Maki groaned and I smiled
" Gladly" I said smirking
" You lead off Shinra" Hinawa said as me and Maki tied the top of our jumpsuits to out waist
" Are we supposed to fight for real" Shinra asked
" Well if you don't want to get hurt, I suggest you do" I said
" Ok I am ready to begin when you are" Maki and I said as she pointed her left fist our as I did my right
" UGH STOP COPYING ME" I yelled as Maki sticked her tongue out
" Are you two twins or something" Arthur asked
" No we're not" I said
" Let's go pretty boy" I said as Arthur chuckled and grabbed his sword
" Not so fast" I said as I appeared behind him
" W-what how in th-" Arthur said as I punched him in his chin
" FLARE" I yelled as a burst of fire came from my hand which sent Arthur back
" Excalibur" Arthur said as blue plasma came from his sword
" Woah, blue plasma" I said as I grabbed a metal pipe
" That's an interesting power you got" I said as I melted half of the bar and then concentrated fire to come out of the hole and it did
" Let's go knight king" I said as Arthur charged at me...... loudly
" Ugh" I said as I blocked all of his attacks
" Blue flame blast" I said as the sword turned blue and a fire ball came at him and his immediate reaction was to block but I stopped the fire ball
" You didn't even dodge, do you know how hot blue fire is" I asked
" Is it hotter than red fire" Arthur asked as I slapped my forehead
" Whatever" I said as I charged at him and put him to the ground in a few seconds
" Woah, you're strong princess" Arthur said as I blushed a little and picked him up and kneed him in the chin
" Damn, you hit hard" Arthur said
" You might just be an ogre" Arthur said as I looked at him weird
" I am pretty sure you don't want to anger me" I said as I glared at Arthur and he got back up
" You're not so pretty when you get angry" Arthur said as I smirked
" Fine, I will finish you now" I said as a circle of fire was arond my feet which came up and turned into a flame tornado
" JAYE CALM DOWN" Maki yelled as I looked down at her
" NEVER" I yelled as I charged towards Arthur and he just stood still
" TORNADO OF FIRE" I yelled as a tornado of fire appeared around Arthur but it died out along with my tornado as I looked at my sister
" Calm down Jaye" Maki said as I flew in front of her
" Ready" Maki asked
" Yeah let's go" I said as I burst into flames
" FULL BODY ARK" I yelled as my flames grew bigger
" Let's go Shinra" Arthur said as Shinra flew next to Arthur but his flames turned into sputter's along with Arthur's Excalibur
" NOW COME ON BO-BO-BO, BO-BO, BO-BO" Maki yelled as a huge fireball was above her fingertips
" Would the two of you like to continue" Maki and I said at the same time
" OH WOULD YOU STOP THAT" Maki and I yelled as we just glared at eachother
" Think we're out of options, if you're throwing in the towel, then that's that" Shinra said
" Well it's pretty clear you want to surrender, so I'll concede" Arthur said
" BO-BO BO-BO, BO-BO BO-BO NOOOO" Maki yelled as Hinawa put Bo-bo bo-bo out
" Iris could you get me something" I asked as I landed on the ground still covered in flames
" Why, just stop the flames" Arthur said as I looked at him and then looked away
" If I do, I will be naked" I said as Arthur blushed a little
" Does it matter, I would love to see th-" Arthur said as I punched him in his face
" Not. A. Chance" I said as Iris brought me a robe in which I stopped my flames and put the robe on
" Well, you too got some power but you need more fighting experience, especially you Shinra" I said as I went to the door
" Come find me whenever you want to learn something" I said as I closed the door and walked to my room to change into another orange jumpsuit
" You seem to show then Jaye" Obi said as he was at my door
" Whatever Obi, what do you want" I asked
" Wanna go to Ippudo's ramen shop with me, Shinra and Arthur" Obi asked as I smiled
" Sure" I said as I opened the door to see Obi with no shirt on, showing off his muscles
" Before we leave, you need a shirt" I said as I walked pass him and he smirked and watched me walk away and I soon turned the corner
" PERVERT" I yelled
~later at Ippudo's Ramen~
" You guys are so weird" I said as they looked at eachother and started to race one another
" Take the time to chew, will ya" Obi said as they started to chew and as soon as they were done they began racing...... again
" Refill please, more extra-firm noodles" Obi said
" Eh, I am ok" I said
" Are you sure" Obi asked
" Yeah, I am kinda full" I said as Obi nodded and told them only three more bowls
~after lunch~
" You guys are pigs" I said as I walked beside Obi
" Whatever, ogre" Arthur said as I glared at him
" Wanna say that again" I asked as he looked the other way
" That's what I thought" I said as I continued to walk
" That grub back there is really top notch" Obi said as I giggled a little
" Of course you would say that" I said as we all stopped as Obi got close to Shinra's face
" Something wrong Shinra" Captain asked as Shinra creepily smiled
" Uh. No I am doing swell s-sir" Shinra said
" Well good for you" Obi said as he got out of Shinra's face and started to walk towards the station
" Why do you always do that" I said as I hit Obi on his arm
" It's funny seeing his face tense up" Obi said
" Well I am gonna go find Maki" I said as I ran off into the station to find my sister
" Oh hey Jaye, what do you need" Maki asked as she was in the weapon room
" Wanted to see if my weapon can work" I said as I went to the wall and found my weapon
" What is it" Maki asked
" Well it's a weapon I can mold using pyrokinesis" I said
" Woah that's so cool, let me see" Maki said as I grabbed the sword and lit my hand as the sword began to lite reddish orange
" I can change the shape into anything I want" I said as I lit my other hand and grabbed the top of the sword and pushed the two ends together and molded it into a gun
" See, this shoots fire bullets" I said as I looked at the dummy and aimed at it
" Fire" I said as I pulled the trigger and a fire bullet came out and lit the paper on fire
" That's cool" Maki said as she put the fire out
" Yeah, it's amazing" I said as I put the weapon back and followed Maki up to the office and that's when the alarm went off
" You tell the others, I will get sister Iris" I said as I ran the opposite way from Maki
" Sister where are you" I yelled as I saw her get up
" Yes Jaye" Iris said
" An infernal was spotted" I said as Sister Iris followed me to the changing room
" Let's gear up guys" Obi said as he bursted through the door as me and Sister was changing
" DONT LOOK" I yelled as the three males looked the other way
~in the car~
" This one reported seems to be in a single-family home" Obi said
" Odds are, we will be putting them to rest in closed quarters" Obi said
" This means that we need to keep all of our weapons hidden inside our coats" I said
" Yes sir" Shinra said as Obi smirked at me
" Take this Shinra" Obi said as he gave Shinra the type seven axe
" You'll be limited with your pyrokinesis" Obi said as we arrived at the house
" It seems a little quiet don't you think" I asked
" Yeah it's strange" Obi said as I saw this girl covered in a blanket
" First Mama, now Papa..... How come? Am I next" The girl said as my heart ached
" Hey.... it's ok" I said as I bent down to her level
" If you believe hard enough, you can live a happy life" I said as I held her hands
" I know how it feels.... I lost my mother as well but look at me" I said as she looked at me
" I am a hero because it's what my mother would like me to be so there is no time to be feeling down, get up and be who you want to be ok" I said as I held out my hand which she happily took
" Don't worry, we will put your father to rest to end his suffering" I said as she bowed
" T-thank you so much" The girl said as I smiled
" Stay here ok" I said as she nodded and I walked up to the group
" Shinra. Arthur. C'mere for a sec" Obi said as I saw they drew there weapons out
" Ugh newbie's are something aren't they" I said slapping my forehead
" It happens ok" Iris said as I smiled at her
" Yeah, not listening happens" I said as I looked at the house
" You feel that too" Maki asked
" Yeah, it feels like something is about to happen" I said as an explosion from inside the house happenedas the fire from the explosion made a face
" Come on guys" I said as we ran into the building with Obi, Shinra an Arthur following us
" Woah, he is really something" I said as we saw the infernal just sitting on a chair
" Yes he is, that means he fought well" Hinawa said
" Let's end his suffering" Obi said
" Captain..... please let me be the one to put him to rest" Arthur asked
" Wait, let's think about this" Shinra said
" He is an infernal, but he hasn't attacked anyone" Shinra said
" So it's ok for him to just stay there..... suffering from being burnt alive" I asked as Shinra looked at me
" I had to end my mother.... because she turned into an infernal but as much as I wanted her to not be killed, she was suffering" I said
" I don't want anyone I care about suffer" I said as I looked down
" Time is 1706, put the infernal to rest, Arthur" Obi said
" I will not let you suffer anymore pain than what you already have" Arthur said
" Sister..... the prayer please" Arthur said
" Yes" Sister said as she began to pray
" The flame is the soul's breath, the black smoke is the soul's release." Sister said as Arthur walked behind the infernal
" Ashes thou wert and art, May thy soul return" Sister said as Arthur pointed his sword at the core of the infernal
" To the great flame of fire" Arthur said as he ignited the sword putting the infernal to rest
" Latom" Sister said
" Latom" We all said as the infernal turned to ash
" Was that painful" Obi asked
" Yeah.... it was" Shinra said
" Well hang on to that pain, because that's the worst thing this job can do to you is make yo numb to it all" Obi said as I wiped the tears forming in my eyes
" Huh" Maki said as I looked up to see black ashes seep through the walls
" EVERYONE COME TO ME" I yelled as my hands were lit and a ring of fire surrounded everyone
" BARRIER OF FIRE" I said as fire covered all of us from the explosions
" Everyone out before it caves in" Obi said as I put the barrier down and everyone went to the exit
" Aren't you coming" Shinra said as I looked up and saw the ceiling break
" OBI" I yelled as I ran in and tackled him to the ground
" JAYE GET OUT OF HERE" Obi said as he saw the ceiling fall and he quickly flipped out position and the ceiling fell on him
" I COULD OF PROTECTED US" I yelled as my eyed glowed purple
" Flame Push" I said as fire pushed the rubble off of Obi
" Now come on" I said as I picked him up and went to the door to see the others waiting fro us
" Hey captain are you alright" Maki asked
" Yeah I am" Obi said as he looked at me
" Are you alright" Obi asked
" Yeah I am alright, just glad that you're ok" I said blushing a little
" Let's head back now" Obi said as I looked in the room once more and found a bear
" I'll give this to the girl" I thought as I ran out of the house to see Obi giving the girl a photo frame oh her and her parents
" Alright... let's go" Obi said as he walked to the others as I walked to the girl
" Stay strong kid" I said as I gave her a bear
" T-thanks ma'am" The girl said as I smacked my teeth
" I am a man" I said
" Oh sorry" The girl said
" Hey it's ok, I get that a lot" I said as the girl smiled
" Just.... whenever you feel down, think of me whenever you see that bear" I said as I patted her head and left to go see the others
" That must of been really hard huh" Maki said as she gave me a hug
" Yeah it was super hard" I said as I began to tear up again
" Shh, it's ok Jaye" Maki said as she carried me to the car and Hinawa drove us to the station
" You guys ready for dinner" Maki asked as I looked at the ground
" I am not hungry today..... see you guys tomorrow" I said as I walk to the station but Obi stopped me
" We are all gonna have dinner together. It's an order" Obi said as I yanked my hand away and walked to the dining room
" Sorry captain..... it was really hard for him" Maki said
" I know..... he just needs to be stronger than this" Obi said
" Letting one of these infernals bring him down is bad" Hinawa said
" Let's just cheer him up" Shinra said
" That's a good plan" Iris said
" They really are something aren't they" I thought as I was still at the door listening
~in the dining room~
" Man this is so good Hinawa" Maki said as I saw inbetween her and Iris
" Is it good Jaye" Iris asked
" Yeah" I said
" What's your favorite" Maki asked
" Well it's weird because you only made my favorite foods" I said as I looked at Hinawa and he looked the other way
" If this is your attempt to make me feel better..... I don't need it" I said
" Well it seems like y-" Arthur said as Shinra covered his mouth
" I don't need it because it's life...... I heard what you guys said and I agree" I said as everyone jumped except Arthur
" I won't let this one infernal take me down... it reminds me of the past but it's nothing" I said as I looked on my wrist to see my mothers watch
" She only left me with this" I said
" It's why I always wear it because it's a part of me" I said as I smiled
" Well I am full, see you guys in the morning" I said as I got up, washed my dishes and went to the shared dorm between Iris, Maki and I
" Man.... I miss you so much" I said as I looked at a picture of my mother
" You were always so kind to me" I said as I looked at her white hair
" But I wish I tool more of your traits than dad" I said as I looked at her black eyes
" I hope you are happy wherever you are" I said as I took off my watch and placed it in front of the picture of my mother
" I will always remember you mother....... I love you" I whispered as I felt a tear drop from my face
