Chapter 11: Game Pieces

I climb up and over the sand dune. When I reach the top, I hold my hand over my eyes and scan the surrounding area.
"Finally," I say. After many miles through the freezing cold desert, I finally see the ruined temple the Headmaster told us about. Nothing more than a white dot at first, I move closer to the temple and start to see pillars and arches.
"Wow," I say as I step onto a large, cracked, sand-covered platform. With sandy white pillars guiding me as I walk through the ruins, it doesn't take me long to find the game pieces sitting on little supports. The second I see them, I run up to them.
"Yes," I say, looking at all the game pieces. I move from game piece to game piece, trying to decide which I should take. As I keep looking, I notice a few supports are empty.
"What kind of game pieces are these," I ask, stopping. I look closer at the game pieces. They appear to be unique symbols, made completely from

Hothead:"This is not a bridge," Alodia says with crossed arms. She lets out a cough as she turns her head. I shake my head and roll my eyes."I know this isn't a bridge," I say, "But it's better than nothing.""It is nothing," Alodia shouts.As she shouts, she uncrosses her arms and points at the ledge."It's not nothing," Jump says. "If you pay attention a little more, you can see this particular ledge is angled upward when compared to the other ledges.""So?""So that means if we do this right, we could use this as a ramp.""A ramp," Renee repeats before he starts to back up and waves his hand. "Wait, wait, wait, what are you two talking about?"I sigh as I explain my plan once more."We have been walking along this ledge for what feels like years now. I'm not kidding! I can actually feel the grey hair growing and taking over! Anyway, for all we know, there is no bridge. There is no crossing we

Shocker: With the larger and paler serpecdysis lunging at me, I jump to the side and watch as it shoots past me. I barely land on my feet when the serpecdysis turns around and lunges at me again. This time, I don't have time to jump out of the way. All I can do is cross my arms before the serpecdysis charges right into me. It hits and knocks me to the ground. Skidding against the stone ground, the serpecdysis wastes no time and grabs one of my feet with its mouth. It throws me into the air before jumping up and wrapping itself around me. With my arms pinned to my sides, I can't do anything as the serpecdysis squeezes the air out of me. Clementine Mira: No matter where I jump, I still can't lose the smaller serpecdysis. It's chasing me, always one move away from swallowing me whole. Running toward a wall, I jump up and back. I hope the serpecdysis would run into the wall but it stops before it does and

Renee Eamon:The vultuzzard roars at us as it flaps its wings. Generating a sandstorm, it knocks us off our feet and into the air. I land in the sand with a loud thud.Falling on my face, I split some sand out. Pushing myself up, I watch as the vultuzzad flies into the air and circles us.“Are you okay,” I say running over to Jump. Helping Jump up, she also has to split some sand before dusting it from her hair.“I’m fine,” Jump replies. She readies her crossbows and looks up. Aiming at the massive vultuzzard as it circles back, she loads a tiny crossbolt.“I think you’re going to need something a little bigger.”The vultuzzard dives down toward us. About to hit Jump and me, Hothead runs from the side and swings his flaming sword. Bright red and orange fire shoots out, lighting up the night sky as it forces the vultuzzard back.“Plan,” Hothead says, looking a

Headmaster Noah: "And to Maximus Beor, Griff Beolagh, Durmad Gerald, and Alice Astrid, I present this crest." Using the game pieces the four received, I combine them into a single crest before holding it up for everyone to see. Once I do, I award the crest to Maximus and his new team. "This crest represents strength," I say after handing it over. I place my hands on the podium and face the hundreds of students with their eyes on me. I look past the blinding lights and stare right at the students. "Strength means more than just how strong a person is," I start, "It means how strong you make others, and how much stronger they will make you. Maximus Beor, from this point forward, you and your team will be known as Team MGDA (mega)." The students cheer as Maximus and his newfound team walk from one end of the stage to the other end. They disappear from the lights as I reach over for the next crest in line. "Corentin Keanu,

Hothead: "I am the greatest fighter ever," I yell, raising my sword high into the air. There, below the mountain of defeated animals is the whole village of Norwood. Everyone is there. Even Headmaster Strictcon. They are all chanting my name over and over. "Hothead! Hothead! Hothead!" "Hothead," Headmaster Stricton yells, shooting his fist into the air. "You are indeed the greatest fighter ever!" "Hothead," they chant. "Hothead! Hothe--Riinggg!" "Ahh," I say, turning away from the sound. "What in the world? What was that sound?" "Hothead! Hothead! Hot--Ringgg!" "Ahh!" This time, the strange noise is so loud I have to cover both my ears. "Riingg! Riingg! Riingg!" My eyes snap open. When they do, I don't see the mountain of defeated animals or the village of Norwood. Instead, I see the wooden bottom of the bed above me. "Ringg!" "Ahh," I moan when I hear the most an

Honey Aatish:"Animals study," I say, staring at the board. "Our first class for the day is animals study. Hmm."With my head resting on my hands, I stare at the classroom from where I'm sitting. The classroom is a large circular room with us students sitting in wooden seats on one half and a dozen screens on the other half, each having a picture of a different animal on it.As I keep looking around, someone taps me on my shoulder. Looking to my side, I see our team leader holding up his holo-display. There's a note written on his holo-display."The study of animals is referred to as zoology," the note says."Uhh, thanks."A second later, we all hear footsteps and turn our heads to the front."Hello class," a thin professor with small round glasses and spiky green hair says. The professor takes a sip of what I think is coffee from his thermos. Afterward, he starts to talk really, really, really fast. "I am Professor Runn. Professor Ruun is my name. It is. It is. It is."Professor Runn

Jump:"Zzzzz," Hothead goes as he adjusts his sleeping head on his pillow hand. I watch as the snot bubble coming out of his nose shrinks and glows."Sulien Bokamoso," Professor Purdue yells. "Sulien Bokamoso. Sulien Bokamoso, are you in this class?"I turn my head toward Hothead as he exhales, the snot bubble also shrinking. I roll my eyes and kick Hothead in the leg. His eyes snap open and his head shoots up."Here," Hothead yells, standing up. "I am right here! Here I stand!"As Hothead yells, he spreads out his arms like their wings."I am here," he shouts one last time. Smiling as he looks around, his smile disappears when, from the looks of it, he realizes he's in class."Uhh," he says in a much lower voice. He looks down at me and I nudge my head at Professor Purdue. The Professor meanwhile is looking right at Hothead. "I'm here.""Yes," Professor Purdue says, checking on Hothead's name on his holo-display. "I can see that. Please sit down."Hothead coughs as he awkwardly sits b

Alodia Darreth:As I sit on a bench in the hallway with my so-called 'team', I can't help but cross my arms."I will never forgive you for this," I say."Are you talking to me or him?"As Sulien asks this, his finger moves between himself and the other student from before. Funny enough, the other student also had his arms crossed. One of his eyebrows is twitching and he's growling like an animal from the Wild. I can only imagine I look very similar."I am talking to you," I say, making sure to face Sulien. "This is all your fault. Yours and your freaking girlfriend.""I'm not Hothead's girlfriend," Eimear says, her head popping out from behind Sulien."She's not Hothead's girlfriend," Renee says, his head popping out from behind Eimear. Sulien and Eimear turn to face our 'team leader' as he sits back down. With his back against the wall, he sighs and covers his eyes."Okay," Renee says a few seconds later. He c

Alice Astrid:"Maximus," I shout. I look at the big idiot as he scratches the back of his head."What?"Pulling back my arm, I throw my fist and punch Maximus in his arm."Ouch," Maximus cries. He looks at me while rubbing his arm. "What was that for?"Pulling back my arm and punching Maximus again, I point at the door."Get out," I yell. Maximus opens his mouth to say something but whatever he was about to say, I cut him off by pushing him out of Shocker's room and slamming the door shut. Letting out a sigh, I take a deep breath and turn around. When I do, the first person I see is Shocker.Shocker, and his team, are all looking at me. Their wide eyes are cornering me, basically pushing me against the wall and keeping me pinned there."Uhh," I start. I clear my throat and look away."Come on," I think. "Say something. Anything at all."I open my mouth to say something but the wo

Hothead:I couldn't help myself. I tried and tried but I couldn't keep them back anymore. The tears burst out of my eyes as I cry and scream while wrapping my hands around my head."This is too much," I cry, "It's too much! We can't do it. We can't do it!""Sulien," Alodia says. Sniffling, I rub the tears from my eyes and look at her. "Will you please calm down? We haven't even started yet."My head shoots up and I point at the mountain of homework."Started," I repeat. "Started? Where exactly are we supposed to start?""Where everyone start," Renee answers. He reaches forward and pulls a pull of paper out from underneath the pile. "Let me see. Oh, man. This is a rough start.""Why," Jump asks. Renee hands the paper to Jump and she reads it out loud."Please read all of chapters 25 through 27. Then answer the question sheet on your holo-display."A little curious, I pull out my holo-display and look for

Headmaster Noah:"What do you mean Commander Wayne was right," Commander Antonio asks, slamming his fist down. Hearing his desk shaking as if it were right next to me, I keep calm and turn to Commander Wayne.Just getting back after checking the academy's shield generators, Headmistress Amaya wasted no time in preparing the emergency meeting with the other commanders and generals. When I entered the private meeting room and saw all their faces on the holographic screens, I immediately began the meeting."You were right," I repeat, speaking to Commander Wayne. "Something strange is happening in the Wild. Whatever it is, it's making the animals smarter, and friendly.""Friendly," General Luthor repeats. "What is that supposed to mean?""I mean predators aren't attacking prey anymore. Instead, they were working together to attack my professors and me.""That's impossible," Commander Antonio says.Turning to Commander Ant

Hothead:"How is he," Headmaster Noah asks. Down on one knee and beside the professor who got stuck, he looks up at Professor Hadley."Canbury will be fine," Professor Hadley answers while putting her medical tools back in her bag. "His armor took most of the hit but the swarm still left him with a 1st degree burn.""Okay," Headmaster Noah says, nodding. "Get some veraweed from the infirmary. It'll help with the burn.""Of course," Professor Hadley says, getting up with her medical bag. While Professor Hadley rushes to get the medicine, Headmaster Noah gets up.We all watch from the side as the headmaster goes around, helping his professors. Seeing how busy he is with making sure all his professors are okay, I turn back to my friends and teammates."Maybe we should go," I whisper."Oh, now you want to go," Alodia quietly yells."Well, yeah. The swarms are gone. The danger had passed. No need for us anymore. Let

Professor Runn:Tapping my holo-display, I open the email Headmaster Noah sent, and a video starts playing."Attention all professors," he starts. In the video, I notice the headmaster is armed with his axe, a sword, and a bow with arrows. "Something is wrong with the academy's shield. They're failing."I turn my head and look out my window. The headmaster is right. The academy's shield flickers on and off, sparking, fizzling, and smoking. A few minutes later, the shield turns off and the academy is exposed."I already sent our engineers down below to fix the shield, but until then. Prepare for battle. Meet Headmistress Amaya and me at the courtyard."With that said, the video ends.Professor Double Hits:After the video ends, I don't waste a second and place my holo-display down. Turning around, I look over my wall of weapons. From end to end, I have various weaponry: melee weapons, range weapons, an

Hothead:"Fingers crossed," I repeat, holding up my crossed fingers. "Fingers crossed. Finger crossed."I keep my eyes on the clock at the front of the class. I watch every tick of the hand as it moves closer and closer until finally, it reaches the number 12."15 minutes," I shout, shooting my hands into the air. "The Professor is 15 minutes late!"Everyone in the classroom, including my own teammates, looks at me as I shoot into the air."Okay," Jump says. She looks at Renee and Alodia before looking back up at me. "So?"Rolling my eyes, I sit back down on my chair and lean in."Don't you guys know," I ask. "About the 15-minute rule?""15-minute rule," Renee repeats."That's not an actual rule," Alodia says, looking at me rolling eyes. "That's just something slackers like you came up with to ditch class.""It is a rule," I say. "A real rule. If the teacher or professor has not arrived after 15 m

Jump:"The government had asked for our assistance again," Headmaster Noah said. "The animals have attacked three cities. The fighters managed to force them back but were badly wounded. If the animals attack again, they can't do anything. Forget what you heard. This is a private conversation."I repeat what Headmaster Noah said over and over again in my head."What were Headmaster Noah and Headmistress Amaya talking about? Why is the government asking for Headmaster Noah's help? And what is this about animals attacking cities? That's nothing new! Animals are always attacking cities. That's why fighters exist. What's going on?"While trying my hardest to think what is or could be happening, I hear someone snapping their fingers."Hey," Hothead says, snapping his fingers. "Jump. Jump! Are you in there?""Ahh. Oh, hey Hothead. Sorry. Did you say something?""Yes," Hothead answers, nodding his h

"What's a tourniquet?""A tourniquet is anything used to stop or slow blood flow," I answer. "It's used often when someone is badly cut.""How do you know," Chadd asks."When I was a novice fighter, I took a lot of classes in medicine and medical training.""Also," Honey says. "So this must be, like, review for you. Awesome! We got this!"Honey smiles and punches her palm."Uhhh," I say, moaning before clearing my throat. "I don't know if it would be that simple.

Jump:"Hmm," Headmaster Noah says. He and Assistant Headmistress Amaya stop and look at the wall in front of them. Stepping forward, Headmaster Noah reaches out and grabs his arrow. He pulls it from the wall and slides it back into his quiver. Lowering his head, Headmaster Noah drops to one of his knees and rubs his fingers against the floor."Someone was here," Headmaster Noah states, looking at his fingers."Here," Assistant Headmistress Amaya asks. "Impossible. All students are supposed to be in their rooms. Curfew started three hours ago.""Just because curfew starts doesn't mean everyone goes to sleep."Standing back up, Headmaster Noah looks around. He looks in my direction and I try to push myself even deeper into the shadow.Looking in my direction for a little longer, he then looks down.
