Chapter 59: Invasion Arc Part 8

Deshon: You don't mean that. It's just tough love. Nia: For me to show tough love to you, I would have to love you to begin with. Justin: Ouch! Nia: Is that all? Deshon: If I kill that warlock, that must be good enough, right?! I walked to Deshon and put my hand on his shoulder. He turns around to look at me. Sora: Deshon, please don't start a war, when we're low on mages. If we can barely handle criminal mage organizations. Why do you think, we would be ready for a war?! Deshon: I'm ready for war! Sophia: If you're getting your butt kicked by mages under S-class. Why do you think going against warlocks and witches that are naturally more powerful than mages, you would stand a better chance against them? Deshon: I'm better than those fools! Justin: The only fool I see is you, Deshon.

Nia and Ace began laughing. Nia: You're on fire right now, Justin! She says this as she laughs. Justin: Thank you. Deshon: Justin, my boy. Justin: Yeah? Deshon: Can you please stop making fun of me for five freaking minutes?! Nia: He's only speaking the truth. Deshon: Nia, can you treat me like your brother for a few moments?! I just want to talk to you. I miss having you in my life, so please just talk to me! Deshon cries out for Nia; he walks towards Nia until he's four feet away from her. If you look at Nia right now, you can see the disgust and the hate in her eyes. Nia: And I don't miss you! I don't want you in fudging my life! And you bold as fudge, claiming you're our family! And you know you're not allowed to tell anyone. Deshon: Nia, just give me two minutes. Nia: You get zero minutes. Ace: Give him twenty seconds. If he goes past that, I will introduce him to these hands!

Nia: You want me to give this accident twenty seconds that I will never get back?! Ace: We can beat dog crap out of him if he goes past that time. Nia: I wish mom would've swallowed this little nigga! Say what you got to say. Nia sighs in contempt. Deshon: I want you to know that I will get stronger and make you proud. And I decided to change my goal in life. I will become the god of mages, so nobody would dare disrespect or cross me! Nia, Ace, I will make you proud of me. So please just wait for me! Benson raised his head and looked at Deshon with disbelief on his face. Julia raised her hand and clenched her fist. Ace, Nia, Peyton, and Zoey laughed while Sophia, Justin, De'Niro. Nia had a seat right next to Julia, Valencia. Julia is carrying Electra behind her neck. Valencia is holding the sleeping Naomi in her arms. Julia: If you wish to become the god of mages, then go for it. We need more mages to challenge Maina.

Deshon walked over to Julia with glee all over his face. Deshon: So do you really think I can become the god of mages?! Julia: Do you want the optimistic answer or the truth? Deshon: Be straight up with me; I appreciate people's objective thoughts. Julia: Then no, you can't; you have too many obstacles that stand before you. Look around you; do you see all these mages in this very room? Deshon looked around, and the glee on his face became a confident one. Deshon: Yeah, and what about it? Julia: Okay, I'm not being mean when I say this. Deshon: Go ahead and say it be truthful. Julia: How terrible is your sensing ability?! Like honestly, you're around Sora, Sofia, Valencia, Valdis, Zoey, Peyton. And with Kane and the warlock. Like if I was the same level as you, I would be scared to be in the same room as them.

Deshon: Nah, why would I be scared? Julia: So you aren't scared of anyone in this room? Deshon: Nah, why would I be scared of ya'll. Julia: Deshon, I'm not making fun of you, but you're in the top three weakest people in this room. Deshon: Cap! Julia: No, for real, I'm being honest! The three people are Brianna, De'Niro, and you, sir. Electra: Are you including me in it? Nia: Aww, you have such a cute voice! Electra: Thank you! Julia: And yes, Ele. I am including you and your sister. Deshon: What!? There's no way she's stronger than me! Zoey: Can you not feel both of their mana!? Electra, here is pure darkness! Then Naomi here feels like light itself. How can you not sense that!? Julia: Thank you for that. Any more? Julia's piercing gaze and strong demeanor create an aura of intimidation that seems to permeate the room. It is clear that Julia is not one to be easily disregarded or challenged. Zoey's voice and hands tremble slightly. Zoey: No, please forgive me. Julia: It's all right, colonel of Maina squad. Deshon, I believe that you've been focusing on everything but sensing.

Deshon: My sensing skills are magnificent. I know where everybody is in the room without looking. Julia: Oh, I think I know what the problem is. You stopped at the early fundamentals of magic sensing. It's no wonder why you act so dang on confident. Nia, what was he like before he came to Rowan Academy? Was he homeschooled, or did he go to a prep school or something? Nia: Yeah, he went to a prep school called Long Blackwater Preparatory Charter. He graduated top of his class and never lost a fight. But he barely got into Rowan Academy because he almost failed his multiple language test, and the main reason he got in was because of Andre and me. Julia: So, that's how he got in.

Sora: Ele, cover your ears. Electra smiled at and covered her ears. Sora: Okay, how ass were the mages at the fucking school!? They gotta be complete dog water! It makes no damn sense! I knew the average American mage was shit, but I didn't think they were that damn shit! A bum ass mage like Deshon should've never been admitted here. It's ridiculous, no offense, Deshon. Deshon: Some taken. Sora: Was his GPA high?! Nia: Yeah, it was a four-point-three. On the Rowan Academy entrance written exam, he scored sixty-two percent on the test. Which is only slightly higher than the average. Sora: It explains everything! Hey, teach! Benson: What? Sora: Do you think you can coach Deshon? Benson: Well, if he is willing to learn and put the work in, then yeah.

Sophia: Are you being nice? Benson: No, I'm being serious. He will be a lot easier to teach than you two freaks. Sora & Sophia: No somos unos bichos raros! Benson: You gotta be kidding me!? Again!? Ya'll been doing this for four years now! It's time to stop. Sora & Sophia: But what makes Deshon a lot easier to teach than us? Benson: I teach ya'll something entirely new, and ya'll learn the lesson and become experts about the topic within the bloody hour! I hate teaching prodigies like ya'll. Sophia: Didn't you say we're your best students? Benson: Ya'll are. Sora: But what gives? Benson: I have an entire whole lesson plan for the entire month; and ya'll get past that in a day! I would like to stay on a lesson plan for like a month to relax. You two put me to work.

I walked to Julia and grabbed Electra off her neck. And kept kissing her on the cheek. I moved her hands away from her ear. Deshon: So, coach Benson, can you train me to be way stronger than Maina? Benson: I don't think that's possible unless you're someone like Sora or Sophia. Even if you're on their level, I can't train you to become stronger than them. These two are my best students, and I have nothing new to teach them. They surpassed me as a mage when they were ten. I have them doing intensive repetitive training that focuses on their strengths. It would've been their weaknesses, but they have no major or even minor flaws. The only way I can teach these two is when they compete. And I can critique them. So basically, I am saying that I can't train to be better than them or no where near their level, but I can train you to be successful in your own right. Julia: So basically, what he's saying is that he can take you far, but he can't take you to your goal. You have to find a way to do that on your own.

Deshon: Yeah, I got it. Julia: If you seriously challenge Maina for her title, you won't get a second chance. She will take you on like you were her greatest adversary, she will kill you. Deshon: Maina, won't beat me. Justin: You're right; she won't, bro. Deshon: Thanks, man! This is why I mess with you. Justin: She will slaughter your dumb self! Deshon: You're a real piece of work, you know that!? Ace: Julia, are you done with this mistake? Julia: Essentially. But here are my final words on this matter. I see there's no possible way for you to become the god of mages. But pursue your dreams because it's your life. Live it, how you want to live it. If you want to die by Maina. Then so be it. No one can stop you. Well, unless you die before you get to challenge Maina. You simply don't have the mana reserves the durability to take damage from Maina. I can tell you that your defensive magic is basically non-existent; I think you focus on offensive magic too much. And your offensive magic is a joke to a elite caliber mage. Your offensive magic is suspect to a B-rated mage.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Deshon: Some mages don't focus on defense. As for Sapphire, she doesn't focus on defense. Peyton: Hold up! What you are not about to do is lie on one of my besties like that! Zoey: Educate this clown! Peyton: Sapphire is great at offensive magic; she doesn't really get the chance to show off that side because her opponents are on the defensive most of the time. And she only lost a single one v one for her entire CMF career. She's really great at defensive magic. But Ruby's better than her at it. The media only focus on what Maina says about them, and they don't really judge them objectively.

Zoey: All I heard was the truth. Nia: Sapphire is genuinely remarkable. I wish I had another sister, instead of an accident called Deshon. Julia: I love fighting Sapphire, but I wish Maina allowed her to go all out. I only saw her Sapphire true power once, and it was against Maina. It was amazing to watch. She finally showed her emotions, her blue flames were more vibrant, and they changed into green which was breathtaking! Ace: Sapphire is genuinely fantastic; I'm glad I don't have to fight her.

Justin: Hey, Nia, I got a joke. Nia: I somewhat got some expectations for you. Don't mess it up. Justin: What is the difference between Batman and a black man? Nia: What? Justin: Batman can go in the store without Robin. Nia laughed so hard she dropped to the floor; Benson burst out laughing. Zoey, Peyton, Valencia, De'Niro, Brianna, Deshon, Sophia, Julia, Ace, and I tried to hold in our laugh but failed miserably. Nia: That's so messed up! Peyton: Why did I laugh at that?! Zoey: I didn't see that joke coming. Valencia: Well played, Justin. De'Niro: That so fudge up, man. Ace: You, sir, are funny. Benson: Well done, kid. Nia: There's a particular nickname I haven't been called in forever. Justin, for now on call me, big sis. Ace: Whoa! You haven't been called that in a long time. Deshon: What?! Only I call you that! Nia: Shut your face before beat you like a dang-on slave. Deshon: Justin, don't call her big sis! Justin: Big sis. Nia: Aww, that is music to my ears.

A twenty-something-year-old light-skin black male with amber-colored eyes and has dark brown colored hair. He's no shorter than five foot ten. A light-skinned black female appears to be in her teens and five-foot-four with short dyed indigo hair. She's wearing a golden ceremonial military uniform with a logo on Maina's face with angel wings behind her head on the collar; she flew inside the skybox. The black guy wearing this crimson military outfit with this crimson phoenix on his chest pocket.

They flew inside the skybox. The black guy walked in first and looked at Deshon, and hate was written all over his face. He glanced at Sophia and me. His face changed into a friendly expression. He then walked over to Julia, Nia and he embraced both of them. He walked to Ace and dapped him up. The other one walked in looked at Deshon, and boredom was written all over her face. She looked at Sophia and me. Her face changed into a cheerful expression. She then walked over to Julia, Nia and embraced both of them.

Deshon: Mia, you're not going to say anything to me. Mia: Oh, I thought I did. Deshon: Andre! Andre: What do you want, little nigga? You're still the failure I saw last time. Why do you like to make mama cry? Deshon: I don't make her cry! It's you and Nia and Ace! Ace: What did you say you... Andre: Ace, you can relax. Say what you gotta say, liar! Deshon: You heard me, nigga! Andre: Sorry, you must be talking to someone else. Mia: Andre, not the time. And plus, it's going to be the same song and dance. He's a failure. So what? He's still family even though we don't want to claim him. I hate treating Deshon like this. He deserves better. But I understand I have to uphold my end of the agreement.

Deshon, you given us hope that our family can join back with the Worthington's. But you failed mama and us. You didn't train because you thought you were that guy. But news flash, you're not that guy. You were never good; all you fought was crap wannabe mages, through out your entire life. You literally had no one to tell you the truth, when you would actually listen. When you got into this school, Ace and I were proud of you. You inspired us to push ourselves beyond our limits. We worked our tails off. You had the opportunity of a lifetime to join the CLMC, but no, you wanted to join the rival team, and that's fine. You just picked the wrong side of history. But for the entire season, you did nothing but party and talk trash about the other teams. You even skipped most of the playoffs and waited for the finals. And the fatal mistake you made was trash-talking Ryder.

Ryder made sure to shut you up! And do you know how embarrassing it was being related to you?! Deshon: Mia... Mia: Don't Mia me, bum! You burned your goodwill with me. I was willing to give you another chance this brand new season and I watched the first few games but you're the freaking same bum. You're even not playing anymore, and you don't help your team. I would honestly join the Twilight Tigers right now because of Sora and Sophia. And you know, I'm a big fan of them. But I can't join because you're a failure and I can't be seen with you. I can't even claim my older brother in public due to the freakin agreement! Deshon: Mia, sorry! I'll do better! Mia: You do better!? You've been saying that, for over a year and a half! I'm tired of you selling me damn dream, Deshon! When I say this, I really do mean it, I hate you!

Someone began knocking on the door. Sophia opened the door. Peyton: Nicholas! A Filipino caramel-skinned male who stood five-foot-seven with messy black hair walked in with a dark gray ceremonial military uniform with a logo on Maina's face with the black fist behind her head on the center of the uniform. Peyton rushed towards Nicholas and they embraced.

I sense a hidden malice about this guy. My body is screaming at me. It's saying he's a threat! I can't ignore it. Nicolas is a dangerous man. And something is off about his mana. It feels somewhat scattered apart. Ace, Mia, Andre, Nia, Julia. All of them feel normal, Kane and Shorty's mana wasn't abnormal. Even the warlock mana didn't feel suspicious. Wyatt's mana felt like somewhat of a thunderstorm. But it was consistent. This Nicholas guy, is way to sus to be left alone. I have to kill him! He's is my enemy! He's a threat to Sophia! I won't let him lay a finger on my Sofia! I will kill him where he stands!

Nicholas: Hey, bae! I sat Electra to the floor and rushed at Nicholas, and I quickly choke slammed him to the ground. I began pounding his face in, his blood-covered my right fist. Peyton tried to stop me, but I threw Nicholas outside the skybox to the stone tablet platform. I hurried and got out of the skybox; I jumped to the stone tablet platform. Nicholas is still on the ground, trying to get up. But I pounced on him and began stomping on his face. Blood began kicking up, and it made mess of my left shoe. Peyton rushed out of the skybox and jumped down and came at me. She grabbed my right arm and tried to pull me away. Peyton: What are you dong! He's my boyfriend! He works for your mom! Sora: He is my enemy. Peyton, do not interfere. And I'm not playing this time. For example!

I freed my right arm from Peyton and crank back my left arm and punched a hole into Nicholas lower stomach, my fist went all the way through his and the stone tablet platform formed cracks around Nicholas' body. Not even a second later, the ground began vibrate rapidly. The west side of the stadium stands, formed multiple cracks all over. I removed my fist from Nicholas, blood began dripping from my left hand. I notice that my left index and middle finger are broken. Peyton began punching in the face. Nicholas attempts to get up, but I pushed Peyton by her face. Then I picked up Nicholas by the throat with my left hand. Then I forced my fist through sternum and I ripped out his left lung and threw it to the side. When his pinkish-gray lung hit the ground it made this wet splat sound. Then I slammed Nicholas on the ground, then I put both my hands in his mouth, I raised up his upper mouth with left hand then lowered his jaw. Peyton ran up behind me with water magic covering her hands. And she began hitting on my back. I raised up Nicholas to my eye level by lifting him up by his upper mouth. Peyton: Let him go now!!! Sora: Peyton, interfere anymore, I will deal with you. I can't control myself so leave and go back to the skybox before an accident occurs!

Peyton: I won't let you kill him, you freaking freak! Sora: Peyton, I've been lost control of myself! I trying my hardest not go with my instincts right now! So leave me be! Peyton climbed on my back and began strangling me. Peyton: I won't let go of you! Until I kill you dang bastard! Sophia: Peyton!!! Let go of him! Sora is about to lose control! Come back up here! Peyton: Stay out of this! I'm am not trying to here your dang excuses for this monster! My body is being surrounded by lavender and black aura and while the whole entire area covered with my mana. Sora: Nicholas, tell me who you actually work for! My voice began sound demonic. It's like someone else's voice is speaking at the same time with me. Nicholas tried to speak, he's choking on his own blood. His right eye is barely visible and his left eye is swollen all to hell. Some of his teeth fell out as he tries to talk. Peyton started coughing violently, her hold on my neck loosen. Peyton began to cough out blood. She let go of me and dropped to the ground. She grabbed my ankle. Peyton: Please don't kill him! Please don't take away the person I love! Please, Sora! I beg you! I lost too much all ready!

Sora: Oh, that's too bad! Hey, Nicki! You have the count of three to speak up an answer or something painful for you might happen! Nicholas: I... work for... Sora: One! Nicholas: His name is... Sora: Three! I clenched my fingers and snap off his lower jaw. I bathed in his blood spilled all over my face. Peyton begins crying up a storm.
