(Katie's POV)

I sat down at a table in the cafeteria. I saw Ivy and Dave walking over and they sat at the same table, Ivy sitting next to me and Dave sitting across from me. They just looked down at their food.

Katie: You two are upset, aren't you?

Dave: Of course I am!

He slammed his fists down on the table.

Ivy: We got washed. How are we supposed to fight against Mr. Black?

Dave: I heard rumors that the Black Knight would be a challenge, but I wasn't expecting that!

Katie: We still have near a week to win against him.

Ivy: And what happens if we don't? We become the laughing stock of the school and don't get to participate in the tournament.

Dave: And let Rival get all the glory! I won't stand for that!

I need to think about what to do. Oh man, what would (Y/N) say in this situation?

Katie: I mean... We lost, but that's because Mr. Black exploited our weaknesses.

Dave: Weaknesses?

Ivy: What does that mean?

Katie: Dave. You attack without thinking about your teammates first. You threw a giant fireball and Mr. Black was going to use me and Ivy and meat shields.

Dave: I stopped the attack before it hit you two.

Katie: While you were doing that, Mr. Black could've knocked me and Ivy out.

Ivy: What? Are you saying that he didn't knock us out on purpose?

Katie: Possibly. I remember when he pinned me down and I mimicked his power, he mentioned about me finally figuring out how to escape.

Dave: He was testing us, and we failed.

Ivy: What about me? What can I work on?

Katie: You were way too confident. You fought like you had everything in control.

Dave: What about you then? Surely you figured out your mistakes, right?

Katie: I can mimic Powers, but that's the thing. Mr. Black already knew how to fight your Powers, so I was easy to handle. Plus, I'm inexperienced with your Powers. I was out before the fight even began.

Dave: Damn! Then let's work out a plan!

Ivy: Plan?

Dave: Of course. With my strength, Ivy's versatility, and Katie's intelligence, I'm confident that we can beat the Black Knight!

Katie: That could work.

Ivy: It's better than no plan.

Dave: Do we have any ideas?

Katie: When Mr. Black covered himself in a bubble, he couldn't see through it, because he thought I was Dave. We can definitely use that to our advantage.

Ivy: That's good to know. I'm sure we can make him go on the defensive easily.

Katie: Alright, then I have a plan.

(Readers POV)

Dad handed me a bowl of soup and a spoon. I took a spoonful of soup and brought the spoon down to my mom, who's still clinging onto me.

(Y/N): Open up.

She opened her mouth and I put the spoon in her mouth. She swallowed the soup and sighed.

Super: Delicious.

(Y/N): Glad dad made some soup for you.

Dad: I'm right here you know. Whatever. I need to work on some things.

Dad walked away. I checked the time. It should be lunchtime at school now. If I'm being honest, I know Katie, Ivy, and Dave didn't beat Mr. Black. There's no way that they beat him on their first try.

(Y/N): Mom.

Super: Yeah sweetie?

(Y/N): Can you let me up? I need to use the bathroom.

Super: After you're done feeding me the soup.

I sighed to myself and got another spoonful of soup.

(Y/N): I swear mom. I act like your parent way more than I should.

Super: You still love me.

(The Next Day) (Katie's POV)

I walked into the gym. I saw Ivy, Dave, and (Y/N) sitting at their seats. I went over to my seat and sat down. I felt someone grab my hand. I looked over and saw (Y/N) holding my hand.

(Y/N): How did yesterday go?

Katie: We lost.

(Y/N): I'm sure you were close to winning though.

Katie: Stop it with your unnecessary flattering!

(Y/N): Deep down, you still want me to continue.

I felt my face heat up and I stopped holding (Y/N)'s hand.

Katie: S-Shut up!

I heard the bell ring, meaning class has started.

Fox: Ivy! Katie! Davidson! You all know the deal, get on this arena!

Me, Ivy, and Dave stood up and got on the arena.

Fox: Are you three ready?

The three of us nodded at each other.

Ivy: This won't be a repeat of last time.

Dave: Today is the day you fall! Black Knight!

Fox: Confident huh? Let's see if it holds up.

Me, Ivy, and Dave jumped back. Dave covered the entire arena floor in ice.

Fox: Not an offensive start I see. Changing it up on me.

Ivy grew some quills on her back. She turned around and shot them out at Mr. Black, making him make a black bubble around him.

Dave: Let's go.

Katie: Right.

I touched Dave's shoulder and we surrounded ourselves in lightning. We dashed at the bubble and I shot some fire at the bubble while Dave went behind it. I saw the front of the bubble open up, revealing Mr. Black.

Fox: Katie? I guessed right this time.

Mr. Black got rid of the bubble and sent four tendrils at me. Dave dashed at Mr. Black and punched him on his back.

Fox: Guh!

Dave: You're guess was wrong!

Mr. Black got sent towards me. I moved to the side, letting him fly pasts me. The ice kept Mr. Black going.

Ivy: Oh yeah! Fall out the arena!

The four tendrils stabbed into the floor, stopping Mr. Black in his place.

Fox: You three already improved a lot since last match. I'm impressed. Guess I don't need to hold back as much.

The tendrils on his back started to wrap around his arms. He punched the ice on the floor, shattering all of it.

Dave: Since when can he do that?!

Fox: You should never think you've seen someone's full capabilities. For example my Power, Void, can do more than just make protective bubbles.

Mr. Black jumped at Ivy. I rushed over to Ivy and grabbed her, jumping away with her, and getting her away from Mr. Black's range.

Ivy: He got way stronger!

Katie: We can't get hit, or we'll be feeling it until next week!

Dave: Come at me, Black Knight!

Mr. Black rushed at Dave. Dave shot some fire at him, but Mr. Black dodged the fire and punched Dave in the gut.

Katie: Dave!

Dave gasped in pain and fell down to the floor, not moving. Did Mr. Black knock him out in one punch?!

Fox: Really shouldn't have done that, Davidson.

Mr. Black started to walk towards Dave. Dave quickly stood up and made a blade of fire from his hand. Mr. Black jumped back.

Fox: How are you still standing?

Dave raised his shirt up, revealing cracked ice on his stomach.

Dave: I made some extra hard ice armor on my stomach. Your punch still hurt, but not as much as you'd like. You really shouldn't assume someone's abilities!

Dave got rid of his fire blade and made a full set of ice armor around his body.

Ivy: Now that's pretty cool!

Katie: Hopefully pun not intended.

Ivy made two extra pair of arms and Ivy and Dave ran at Mr. Black. Mr. Black is able to dodge their attacks. Mr. Black made a tendril and pushed himself up. Dave and Ivy kept moving forward, about to go out of bounds.

Fox: You two are finished.

Dave waved his hand, making a ramp of ice. Dave and Ivy used it and got back to the middle of the arena. Dave made a fireball in his hand and put it on Ivy's back. What are they doing?

Fox: You kids are putting me through a workout today.

Dave: Katie! Now!

Electricity surrounded around us and we ran at Mr. Black. We attacked Mr. Black from both sides. We hit his arms covered in darkness. I looked over at Ivy, and she's holding her stomach. Is she alright?!

Dave: Katie! Keep up the offensive!

Fox: Time I finish this.

The darkness around his arms extended, turning into giant shields. Me and Dave made continuous blasts of fire from our hands, forcing Mr. Black to use his shields to block them. Dave's ice armor quickly melted.

Katie: Ivy! Help!

Ivy: It's ready!

A pair of wings grew from her back, but they're not her usual bird wings. They look like wings from a dragon. A pair of green horns grew from her forehead and green scales covered parts of her body. She flew up and opened her mouth, letting out her own blast of fire. Mr. Black made one more shield to block Ivy's fire, but I can tell that's his limit on making things.

Katie: One last push!

Dave: Whither already!

Ivy: We win!

Mr. Black got pushed back, sending him out of the ring. Me, Ivy, and Dave stopped. All the students started to cheer for us.

Dave: We did it. We actually did it!

Katie: I can't believe that worked.

Ivy: We're the best! Best best best best BEST!!!

Ivy turned her body back to normal and I got rid of Dave's Power I mimicked. Mr. Black stood up and started to clap for us.

Fox: Congratulations. I'd say you three are ready for the tournament. But that doesn't mean you should start slacking off in your training.

Ivy: Got it, Teach.

(Y/N) ran over to us.

(Y/N): I'm glad to see you three succeed. What was your guys plan? I'm kinda curious.

Katie: I knew Mr. Black can only make so much with his Power, so we just overwhelm him all at once.

I looked over at Ivy.

Katie: Ivy, how did you shoot out fire from your mouth?

Ivy: Easy. I made an opening in my back and Dave put some fire in there. I used my insides as fuel to make the fire stronger.

Dave: We discussed that plan without you fair maiden. My apologies.

(Y/N): Wait, did that not hurt?

Ivy: It hurt like hell and it still does. My Power is restoring my insides as we speak. Pretty cool, huh?

(Y/N): Yep. Pretty cool. Your weird dragon form you took was also pretty cool.

Ivy's face went a light shade of red.

Ivy: You really think so?

(Y/N) just nodded his head yes.

Dave: She didn't do all the work. I'm sure the king is due some respect around here.

(Y/N): Alright alright. You and Katie were pretty cool too out there.

(Y/N) walked over to me and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

(Y/N): A little prize for you for winning.

I wrapped my arms around him. (Y/N) returned the hug. The bell rung, meaning class is over.

Fox: Class dismissed. Everyone else should be ready next time, because I'm a little frustrated from that fight.
