The Crystals

"Come on! Lend me a hand," shouted Mr. Sutton as he was starting to exhaust his aura. Suddenly, another 'Orange stream' from another village elder pushed Lava Gladiator. The Lava Gladiator resisted further. But the other elders followed him. Oar stood up and managed to throw an 'Orange stream' too. All the other warriors who could perform the 'Orange smoke' attempted the 'Orange stream.' Though it wasn't perfect, at that moment anything helped.

"How charismatic you are!" complimented Red-1 to Mr. Sutton as he saw the Lava Gladiator scraping through the ground. He was taken to his golden nightmare.

"Never come back!" said Zohaifa.

'Golden Punch!'

Zohaifa's punch was thrown in the form of an uppercut at the Lava Gladiator's gut throwing him off ground. The pain was readable on his face. His eyes widened while his pupils began to lose the liveliness. A little bit of lava fell from his mouth. As soon as Lava Gladiator's body was on air everyone shot the 'Orange stream' sending him far away from the village and high above the ground.

The villagers screamed out of joy while Zohaifa collapsed on the ground. Oar ran towards Zohaifa but midway few villagers held him and started to celebrate throwing him above.

"Wait, Zohaifa. We need to-" Oar stopped when he noticed big thumbs up from Mr. Sutton as he appointed some villagers to take care of Zohaifa.

"Phew! That's a relief," said Oar as he slowly fell asleep due to tiredness. After a few swings, the crowd noticed him.

"When did that happen? We were swinging a sleeping Oar," said the crowd.

The village elders went to the village hospital themselves.

"I guess I will wait for my gag traits to slowly heal me," said Red-1 to himself as he was walking away with staggering steps.

"Where do you think you are going Mister?" said a villager while stopping him, "You deserve treatment too."

"Nah, it's okay. I will be healed automatically. It just takes time."

"You contributed enough in this fight. If you don't take the treatment it will be a shame for our village."

Red-1 blushed a little and replied, "Thank you."

Later that day when Zohaifa gained back his consciousness, he sat up and said to himself, "I remember the last thing that happened was digging a punch inside the Lava Gladiator's gut. It felt good."

The sun was about to set through the window. The sunset cannot be seen due to the tornado surrounding the village. But the redness of the sun was visible in the tornado.

He examined his own body and said, "So, I don't automatically heal myself unless I use that form."

A nurse came in and gently asked, "Are you okay Mr. Zohaifa?"

"It feels weird to be called Mister by someone older than me. Can you please drop the Mister?"

"Umm…Okay."

"Anyway, I am fine and I need to go."

"5 days! I was supposed to be in Yellow City yesterday. I am already a day late. The tournament will start in 5 days. Lazuli was supposed to teach me the basics beforehand."
