CHAPTER 7

Ice


It was fun last night but all good things must come to an end.  In more ways than one for me.


I came home at about 5 am. Well the spare room I have in the society since I do not live here. I live at a nearby penthouse but come here to get ready for missions or if I'm too lazy to drive all the way home early in the morning.


I slept till 1 in the afternoon and woke up with a headache. I don’t get hangovers. I get annoying headaches.


I got ready for training, putting on my purple sports bra and black gym shorts. I got a bottle of water and a towel heading to the gym.


I walked into gym to have everyone freeze. I guess you can picture what happened to the ones on the running machine.  It was incredibly funny, some even dropped the weights they were balancing.  Missing their heads or foots by an inch. Some weren't so lucky.


Wow I caused a lot of chaos and all I did was walk in. I chuckled darkly and walked, passing them to go to my personal gym here in the society.  Which of course I paid for rent and latest training supplies, doesn’t really matter I pay since I'm loaded.


I went in, put my stuff down, turned on the radio in the room and started warming up. I finished, not even breaking a sweat and went on to boxing to the rhythm and went on to practicing my techniques and creating a new one to test out. How? You'll see. Just as I was about to begin, guess who just walked in the room.


That’s right Chris flipping Flame.  I don't know why but something from my dark exterior hates him and his near presence. Maybe it won’t be so bad if he was killed.


"Can I help you?" I asked emotionless but pissed that he interrupted me and made me lose concentration.  Oh he's so lucky he's new or else he would be in the hospital or better yet frozen with his life at my mercy. I either let the ice melt or not. The last person was lucky enough but not before starting frozen for two weeks.


He ignored me still looking around in awe.


"Hello?" I walked up and snapped my fingers in his face.


"Huh?" he snapped out of it.


I sighed "Can I help you? If not, get out." I pointed at the door.


"Why?"


"Because I said so." I said.


"I came here to train and just because your powerful doesn't mean you should act like you own this gym." he sounded irritated.  Too bad he's irritated since....



"I do own this gym." I said and raised an eyebrow.

He blinked once then twice. "Huh?" was his genius answer.


"I do own this gym." I repeated as if talking to a toddler.


"Then why did my parents tell me to train here?" He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at his thoughts.


"They what?" I asked through gritted teeth. "How dare they!" I thought as I stormed out towards the administrator's office.  I pay for everything in this gym, even the rent and they dare approve someone else to train in my gym without my permission.


People make way for me like their name was the red sea since they sensed how pissed I was. Yes pissed. I don't get angry with my lack of emotions. Besides me being pissed already scares people in this society to piss in their pants. I'm sure they don't want me angry if they did, this building and possibly hell can freeze over. The building definitely, hell probably.


Then again I can freeze hell when I get there when I die. We call it the underworld though and yes it’s real.


Back to the matter at hand.  I went into the office without knocking and stood in the middle of the room between their desks, hands on my hips staring at both of them with a poker face.


"Yes?" Mr. Flame asked.


I just continued staring at them. They're trying to play innocent with me? Please I invented that game.


"Him.” I pointed at Chris who just walked in and froze in the spot as I pointed at him.  Wow he's so slow either that or he was sightseeing. "In my gym? Really?" I stated.


"Well since you’re not going to protect my son then he needs the best training he can get" Mr. Flame stated.


I know that he's fighting a smirk right now just as I'm fighting to beat him to a pulp and freezing him in ice forever.


"And you didn't ask or even bother to tell me because?" I crossed my arms.


"Even if you said no you would still have to do it sweetie." Ms Flame answered a smile tugging at the corner of her lips.


I grinded my teeth in annoyance. Damn they know me too well.


I sighed, "So what’s in it for me?" I was now looking at my nails. I've been doing that a lot lately.


"We pay the rent for your gym." Mr. Flame answered. A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips. At least they know me enough to want something in 'return for a good deed'.



"Not like it would make any difference whether I paid it off or not." I was still 'examining my nails. "Deal." I stated while I  didn't look up. When I did I saw two Flames staring at me in shock.

"Come again?" Mr. Flame asked. "I said deal." I stated as if talking to toddlers.


Their looks turned to a suspicious one. "What no argument, threats or blackmail? Why?"


"If you want me to do all that, I’ll gladly do so. As to why, you obviously care so much about the kid to go to such extent." I shrugged.


"Thank you Crystalline." I flinched a little as she called me my real name and glared at her. "Don’t call me that." I stated through clenched teeth and walked out without another word.


"So your real name is Crystalline?" I walked out to find Chris leaning on the wall. I walked past him without a word. Not in the mood.


I ignored the stares and went straight to the gym. Towards the special room.


"Where  are you going?" Chris asked getting ready to lift some weights.


"To train." was my simple answer. He was about to say something when I cut him off "I don’t feel like giving details. You can come and watch if you want."


He just nodded and followed me to the room. I stopped him as he was about to follow me into the room. "You should watch over there." I pointed to the window overlooking the room.


He went there and tried looking through it and caught a glimpse of the room. The room is darker than night I didn’t even turn the lights on. "Idiot." I thought walking into the room turning on the lights watching Chris awing at the football field sized room.


I smirked, he hasn’t seen anything yet. I concentrated and the room froze in seconds. Then I concentrated again a little harder and creatures made of ice are materializing out of the ice. Their violet eyes glowing waiting for their command. I put fighting skills so they will pass as goons. Last but not least I made a clone of myself giving her my own strategies, strengths, and weakness. After all who else better to go against then yourself? I also made her to have a mind of her own. I call her Eci.


I looked over to see Chris in shock staring at the twenty creatures and clone I made. I turned back to them and started concentrating spreading out my senses. “Come." I commanded and all except Eci came at me. I defeated the creatures in about 5 to 10 minutes and turned to my clone Eci.


"Physical test go." With that we lunged at each other punching and kicking using  deflecting strategies. This comes in handy if I need to practice new techniques or find a way to counter them if used against me.


It’s also good in finding and strengthening my weaknesses. Wouldn’t want someone making a clone of me that no one can defeat do we?


Seriously it happened before and that’s how I got this idea of this training, and then Eci was born. I don’t use her for conversations though, that would just be weird. The only time was when I got her to bring a message to a gang leader. She went pass their securities, me right behind her, at the sight of her he cowered in fear since he tried killing her and failed. You can’t hurt her since she's made of ice, my ice.


She truly is my clone. We were still at it for about 20 min till we stopped. "Power test go" not only can I give her my strategies and her own mind, but I can also give her some of my power or all to even it out like now. With that we went back to brawling this time with our powers.



It lasted about 30 min before I called it a day. By that, I mean I destroyed her with my crystal whip. I can make weapons out of my power and the whip is my favorite.

After some ice swords, axes, bows and arrows, ninja stars and whips, I defeated her or me. She materialized again and stood in front of me bowing then crumbling to ice and snow again and the ice in the room was now gone. Yes I did all of this on ice.


I went out of the room a little exhausted. Yes a little, it takes a lot to get me tired, like a three day in a row battle. The third day will be me and my sleeping reflexes. I have sleeping reflexes which some learned the hard way. I killed some in my sleep, literally. In my defense I get cranky.


Chris came over to me "That was...."


"Speechless." I taunted. What can I say? I enjoy making people lose it. I chuckled inwardly, reminds me of one of my missions. Do you want to know? Ok then.


I was taken hostage by a gang for a week or so. Let’s just say the leader may or may not have jumped off the building after going mad with me annoying him to the max since he was trying to interrogate me. He made my job way easier. Good times good times.


"That was awesome." I turned back to Chris.


"Alright then you can finish training." I said walking out. "Where are you going?!" he yelled after me.


"I'm going to be reading the files on this mission since we start tomorrow. You can join me after you finish. You’ll find me in my office."


"You have an office?!" he looked shocked, oh well.


"Yeah you can ask your friends for directions or go towards the part of the building with less people or ones speed walking with fear on their faces." I said amused.


"Don’t you break anything." I suddenly turned serious. He gulped, "Yes.” Which I know he said involuntarily.


I grabbed my stuff and changed into a tank top with shorts since I won’t be leaving or going to sleep. I put on some comfortable clothes.


I sat on my comfy chair at the desk in the middle of the room. This room strikes fear to whoever enters it except for some.


I opened the files I brought here from my room.


"Well let’s begin."
