《BRUINS》7

Becky is woken up by loud knocks on the door. Zola, who is lying down next to her, sighs, before getting up and put a boxer on. As soon as he opens the door, he just finds himself standing in front of a very angry Ash, and a confused Kelley.
The goalkeeper doesn't lose any time.
"Bye, Zola."
With that said, she comes in, grabs the dude's clothes, throws them at him, before pushing him outside and locking the door. Becky, who suddenly feels way more awake than two seconds ago, sits down on her bed, confused.
The captain rolls her eyes.
"You two better have a good reason to come here, otherwise-"
"Janine got beaten up" Ash aggressively says. As Becky is trying to figure out what's happening, the goalies continues : "They want revenge, Becky, for what you did to Alex. So they found Janine - sweet, innocent, Janine - and beat her up."
"She's in the hospital now with Kealia and Megan" Kelley says, absolutely guttered.
"Wait-" Becky tries to say, but either girl seems like they want to listen.
Ash is the first one to grow angry :
"We need to do something. You need to do something."
The captain shakes her head. "Shut up and let me think" she orders, before looking up at Kelley, who looks like she knows more than the goalie about the overall situation. Becky then shakes her head, and asks : "Do we know who did it ?"
"Some Stanford's supporters" Kelley says.
"I know what we are going to do" Becky lets out, before grabbing her phone. When the person she's calling picks the phone up, she says : "Hi, Mrs Cox. Rebecca Sauerbrunn on the phone, I need to inform you about an unfortunate event that occurred this morning... Yes, a brutality case against one of our players... Yes, Stanford... Thank you Mrs Cox, I will be here in two minutes."
With that said, the defender shamelessly gets up, still naked, as her teammates roll their eyes and turn around so that she can dress up. Once it's done, Becky starts gathering some of her things.
Ash is right behind her, confused.
"What do you need ?" she asks, serious.
"Go and bring me Kelsey, Tobin and Allie. We need impressive people around me" Becky says, focused. She then looks at Kelley, and says : "You, go and call for a team meeting. The rest of the girls need to know what's going on. Also, call Kealia or Megan to have update on Janine. Tell them I will come around as soon as I am done with that."

"Got it" Kelley and Ash exclaim in the same time.
The brunette immediately jogs out of the apartment, her phone in hands, while Ash grabs her phone and calls her teammates.
The war shall begin.

"As I told you before, me and my teammates had no idea about this unfortunate event" Hope Solo says in her husky voice, while her co-captain, Carli Lloyd, silently nods.
But it doesn't go unheard.
"Bullshit" Tobin lets out, angry.
Mrs Cox, the campus' director, throws a death glare at her student, before putting her attention back on the girls in front of them, as well as their head coach, Paul Riley. Jill Ellis is here as well, arms crossed against her chest.
The head coach immediately addresses Paul Riley :
"If you can't control your supporters, Mr Riley, I am afraid we will have to sue you" the British woman starts, and before the man can interrupt her, she adds in a fierce voice : "Before your misogynist mouth dares to cut me off while I speak, I would like to add that one of our players has been severely injured, while some of your own players, Mr Riley, did come on this very campus to upset our players before their first game of the season, pleading to be 'watching their soon-to-be teammates' play."
Coach Riley rolls his eyes.
"We indeed have new acquisitions on the UVA team, Madam" the man says in a confident yet annoying voice, smirking at Jill. "Therefore, I sent two of my players to watch the game. They didn't do anything bad, they just-"
"I need some names, Mr Riley" Mrs Cox coldly says.
"Sure" the head coach says, smirking. "Kopmeyer and Zadorsky."
"So why three more were here ?" Allie questions, raising her eyebrows.
Riley bursts into laughter.
"Mrs Cox, this is not a trial. You can't possibly let students question me" he says in his usual provocative voice, looking at the other coach.
Jill makes a sign to her players - except for Becky, because she is the captain - to leave the room, which they obey. Tobin throws a death glare at the man, before closing the door behind her. Afterwards, Jill stares at Riley, unfazed.
"Nevertheless, Miss Long wasn't wrong" the British woman says, before looking directly at the headmaster. "It appears that Alex Morgan was here as well, and started a fight with some supporters of the Bruins right after saying inappropriate words-"

"There is no proof of that, Mrs Cox I-" Paul Riley tries.
But Jill is not impressed.
"Furthermore, I would like to ask Mr Riley what player he sent his girls to look at ?" she asks in a confident voice.
Coach Riley starts smirking.
"Morgan Brian, midfielder for the University of Virginia"
"That is very weird, given that we have acquired Miss Brian's rights for the two upcoming seasons, including this one. She is set to arrive in three days, just in time for her file to get transferred." Jill explains, with a smirk on her face.
This woman is a genius, Becky thinks, a smile on her face. She can't help but look at her rivals, who aren't that happy right now.
"What the-" Paul Riley starts.
"It occurs to me that Miss Brian prefers to come in UCLA after all." the Bruins head coach settles, winking.
The Stanford head coach is obviously bottling up inside, as his eyes are throwing daggers at Jill Ellis. Of course the British head coach would stand up for her team and players : and stealing Morgan Brian from Stanford was the best way to put both Becky and the supporters out of this messy situation.
The captain exchanges a grateful look with her coach, as Mrs Cox stares right at Riley when she says in a beyond serious voice :
"I think it is fair to say that you have no business doing here, Mr Riley. I recommend you never send your players here, unless for competition, because they tend to cause trouble. Also, I will get in touch with Stanford's headmaster : the people who violently abused Janine Beckie need to be punish."
"Yes, m'mam" Paul Riley says, but his eyes are still trying to kill Jill.
As everyone is getting out of Mrs Cox' office, Becky stops right before the stairs. When someone bumps into her just a little bit, she turns around and finds herself facing both Carli Lloyd and Hope Solo.
The impressive goalie fakes a smile so that Jill wouldn't suspect anything, but while she is shaking Becky's hand, she whispers :
"We will make you and your fucking team pay for that, Sauerbrunn."
"I'm looking forward to seeing you again, Hopey" Becky sarcastically says, before frowning. "Or should I say, traitor ?" After that, she just faces Carli and adds : "You too, Car."
The middy only nods, before they all walk away.

"Here" Megan says, handling Janine a glass of water.
The Canadian forward silently thank her, before drinking the whole glass bottom up. That makes Megan and Kealia laugh, before they both sits down either on the bed or in the chair next to it. The forward has a black eye, few stitches on the face and a big mark on the neck. Overall, and according to her doctor, she has a broken ribs, but will be all right.
Kealia, who is tensing up because of the recent events, asks one more time :
"Do you know who did that to you ? I mean, are you sure ?"
Janine nods. "I would recognize their faces among thousands. There was this tall ginger dude, who is Zadorsky's boyfriend. Alex Morgan and her boyfriend were there too. She actually was the one beating me up while the guys were holding me. And there were few more people around us - mostly boys - but I haven't seen their faces because it was dark."
"So that's exactly what you told the cops, right ?" Megan asks, raising her eyebrows.
"No" Janine says, looking straight into her teammate's eyes. "I was told not to. But what matters is that I was able to recognize Morgan and her boyfriend, and that Stanford's committee is going to take actions"
"Why haven't you said anything about Zadorsky if you were sure he was her boyfriend ?" Kealia asks, confused.
"Becky said it wasn't necessary." the Canadian says, shrugging.
"Makes sense" Megan lets out, which immediately earns her some confused looks from her teammates. The blonde then rolls her eyes. "Why talk about Zadorsky when everybody know Morgan was the one involved in that fight the other day ? Focusing on Morgan allows us to get Morgan suspended, which means..."
"She won't be able to play for two months" Kealia says, a smile on her face. "She won't be here for their game against us."
"Becky is very smart" Janine points out, before frowning. "I wouldn't want to be her enemy, because, like, damn."
The two other girls nod, before bursting into laughter.

Legends of The Wesh: Lochley
The Universe is held together by something. It is an undisputable truth but nobody knows what that something is. People claim that it is connected by The Path of Legends, where Gods traversed trying to find the meaning of their own existence. Others claim that the universe is a Tree, connecting worlds with its extending branches and giving life-bearing fruits to its inhabitants. Several even claimed that the Universe is just a colony of ants, that this universe and the worlds in it are just as insignificant as insects. In one of the Worlds in it, the arrival of someone signaled great changes. Gods will die, Trees will Rot, Insects will burn. Those at the top had fallen and they will upend the worlds trying to claim what was theirs. Those at the bottom have had enough of scraps and they yearned to devour the fruits of the worlds. Those that were innocent and caught in between had no choice but to persist, lest they get erased by the surging tides. Nobody knows where will they end, but everybody knew where they started. They will not be judged, they will not be rebuked, they will not be curbed, they will not be vanquished. The universe is their canvas and it’s time — time to paint their truths upon it. Azrael was born as a prince in the warring world of Ost. Inheriting the title but not its privileges and oppressed by his siblings in every step of his life, he had no choice but to be subservient to their whims until circumstances spiraled him to the abyss, to a new world, and to more agreeable companions. But is he truly free from the past or will it continue to hound him to his new life? Elira had one wish… to be known more than as an offspring of the Great Phasol Family. Talented, hardworking, and stubborn, she struggled to break free from the influence of her family. Everything had been going well in her life but is she strong enough to resist the upheaval and truths of the world? William grew up in an orphanage with nothing to his name. Regaled by various tales of fantasy and greatness by his caretakers, he reached adulthood with the goal of having a legend of his own. Will he make his mark on the world or be forgotten like an ant; crushed by the boot of an unsuspecting traveler. The world of Lochley has been at peace for centuries and its undercurrents are growing restless from waiting… waiting for that spark of opportunity to ignite and swallow the world whole. Some will cause it, some will resist it, and some be drowned by it. Which one will you be?
