Ray: Sorry guys, I hope you do just fine on your own. I overused my arcana… shit.
Ray falls over unconscious
--- Chapter 8 ---
Mica: I’ll take this guy.
She says running at 3, the guy with the mohawk.
3: Oh hey pretty lady, you wanna fight me?
As Mica runs in she pulls out a Short sword from under her cloak and leaps into the air. As her jump arcs downwards she goes to stab.
3: Not talkin’ huh. Bitches be bitches.
As he says this he leaps back, dodging Mica's attack. Mica readies her Sword to strike again but 3 snaps his fingers. There is a massive glow under Micas feet, and that glow follows an explosion sending mica rocketing into the air.
Mica: What the hell was that, his ability, can he just make explosions? If so I can win this, i just have to find the pattern.
3: Listen little lady i dont wanna hurt you, why don't you just join us? Maybe I can spare your life then.
Mica: Not a chance. Who are you sorry bastards anyway.
3 looks enraged.
3: The hell did you say to me?! We are members of the Ten-FUCKING-yi.
Mica: The Tenyi huh, never heard of it.
3 looks even more enraged.
3: Then let me burn it into your skull.
He snaps his fingers and explosions appear all around mica, though she noticed they are all oddly placed.
Mica: I'm missing something. Why wouldn't he just blow up under my feet again. “7”.
3: 7?
Mica: You hit me 7 times.
3: Your point?
3 starts to run around a bit, in circles and random movements it seems. He then starts to run away.
Mica: Your running? Hey that's cool with me.
3: HEY! Don't sit down, that's not how this works! Fine. Guess I'll just have to force you.

He snaps his fingers again and an explosion appears behind her sending her flying towards him.
3: Goodbye.
He snaps his fingers causing the ground below her to glow.
Mica: I get it now, so that's your ability.
The ground erupts in a massive hellfire explosion, her sword goes flying.
Mica is on the floor, with burn marks, seemingly unconscious. 3 walks over and goes to spit but mica springs to life pulling 2 more short swords from her cloak and stabs them into his calves.
3: What the hell?! How the hell did you survive that?!
Mica: My arcana, when I get hit with the same type of damage 13 times in a row, I become immune to it for a set time. "You hit me 7 times”.
Mica makes air quotes.
3: You BITCH!
Mica: And your ability allows you to detonate your foot prints.
Mica pulls out her daggers and goes to attack again, but 3 pushes through the pain and moves back.
3: You may be immune but you still took damage! And you're still gonna be sent flying!
He snaps his fingers, causing an explosion that sends her flying back but she flips mid air and lands on her feet, dual wielding her sword she goes running in. 3 taken aback how she is still moving, he stomps down on the sand, blood squirting from his legs, and kicks the sand up in her face as she runs in. causing a bunch of mini explosions but ultimately she powers through, stabbing them both into his chest.
3: Ugh!
She then pulls out another set of swords from her cloak and stabs them into his shoulder.
3: How the hell do you have so many shanks?
Mica spits in his face as she stabs him one last time.
Mica: Pretty stupid to attack members of elune, one of the 3 and all. Even if were only C-rank.
As life fades from his eyes. Mica collapses to the ground.
Mica: Those explosions… hurt a bit haha.
Mica falls unconscious.

A Fragmented Mind
"Hi there. My name is Richard Maddox, but my — admittedly nonexistent — friends call me Rick. I live in a world of superheroes and villains. A world filled with magic and physics-defying powers, and in this world, I'm just an ordinary, completely average 17-year-old boy. My imaginary friends, however, are as far from average as you get. You think you're good at deluding yourself? Well, stand back, because it's time for a master to show you his craft. Welcome to my life, the life of a madman." This story was originally inspired by the 'Legion' novella series written by Brandon Sanderson. If you've read those books and liked them, it might be worth giving this a read. The same goes if you haven't read them either, I guess. (Currently re-writing earlier chapters)
