Chapter 10: #10 The date.
"We'll I'm going to the beypark to find someone strong don't do anything I wouldn't do." Benji exclaimed.
"Got it." Liz replied.
As soon as Benji left she quickly turned to Kodai.
"Heyyyyy." She exclaimed.
"Huh." Kodai replied.
"Wanna take me on a date?" She asked.
"Sure." Kodai answered.
"Wait really?" She asked.
"Yeah, why not." He answered.
"Theodore we'll be back by two." Liz said.
"Alright... well now I'm alone." He said.
(I have never been to Washington dc so take the details of the date with a grain of salt)
"Oooh Can we go to the mall!?" She begs.
"Lead the way." He answers.
"Yeeee." She shrieks.
Sure grabs his hand and drags him along as they enter the endless shopping spree that is known as the mall.
They wander around checking out stores they didn't have at home, trying on outfits, eating tasty snacks and after a while they get to an arcade.
"Can we play some games, pleaaaassseeee!" She begs.
"We're here to have fun so have fun." He replies.
They spend some time playing games until Liz gets stuck on a game she can't quite beat.
"This game says I have to get 12 shots in 12 seconds, how the fuck did someone get 15!?" She exclaims.
"I can't even get 7!" She yells.
"Can I try?" Kodai asks.
"Here!" She says handing him the ball and the spot.
He holds the ball in front of himself and as soon as the timer starts he begins shooting.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24.
All make it in.
"Wow! Amazing!" She exclaims.
"Meh, there's a limit to how many I can make since the balls only fall so fast." He complained.
"It's amazing that your limiting factor is gravity." She chuckled.
After playing many games they prepare to leave.
"Don't forget to get a reward." Kodai said pointing to the exchange counter.
"Ooh can I have the giant teddy bear!?" She asked.
"It's your points." He declared.
"Yknow we still got some time to kill, Wanna go watch the planes take off?" He asked.
"Yes!" She exclaimed.
They lay down a blanket and rest on it.
"Ughhh after walkin for hours my feet began to hurt like crazy." She complained.
"You could've asked me to carry you." He said.
"Yknow most people cant carry others around for hours." She retorted.
"But I can." He said.
"I know but we can't go displaying to the world your superhuman abilities." She said.
Kodai wraps his arms around her and buries his face in her neck.
"I know..." Kodai said his voice muffled.
Kodai's hands wander down to her belly and uncovers them to feel her bare skin.
"Hehe why do you like my belly so much?" She asks.
"I dunno, it's so soft and warm... it's almost inviting." He explains.
"Wanna know what's even softer?" She asks.
"Yeah..." He says as they turn to face eachother.
Liz lays back on the cover as Kodai leans over her, her hands in his. He begins to inch his face closer to her and her lips shuddered upon feeling his breath.
"Why do you tease me so much?" She pouts her face becoming redder by the second.
"You started it." He retorts.
"Oh shit, the time! Liz checks the time and stands.
"We'll I guess it's about time we head back." She said.
Upon returning they see Theo ad Benji standing just outside the hotel room.
"You were almost late!" Theo complained.
"We weren't tho." Liz retorted.
"Let's get this announcement over so we can get to the tournament!" Benji exclaims.
"Our first battle will be the same time either way." Theo retorted.
"I don't care!" Benji exclaimed.
They make their way to the stadium for the announcements but are stopped by a security guard.
"Team captains this way all others will go this way." The man explained.
"Oh we haven't decided our team captain yet..." Benji exclaimed.
"I vote Kodai he is the strongest after all." Liz declares.
"We'll he did defeat me so I can't argue against that logically." Benji responds.
They all agree on Kodai and send him to the unknown.
When kodai exits the hallway he finds himself in a waiting room where he is asked his name and team title.
"Kodai, and uh.... Draco Pugnatores." He answers.
Meanwhile after the final audience members sit down the announcement starts.
"Ooh it's Rogier!" Liz exclaims.
On the stage Rogier was standing with a mic.
"I am so excited to announce this year's nationals with the help of my assistants, and thus years lineup is looking intense, we got the top 10 teams of last several veteran teams coming out of hiding as well as some new incredibly prodigious teams coming out of nowhere!" Rogier exclaims.
Shortly after he begins introducing the team captains.
"And finally a team from my region, it is Kodai, with team... Draco Pugnatores!" Rogier exclaims.
A Latin name nice!
"Now for the captain to give us the opening speech is.... oh I bet the higher ups planned this, it is Kodai of team Draco Pugnatores!" Rogier announces.
Kodai makes his way to the front as Rogier hands him the mic.
"I didn't plan a speech or anything so I'll just say what I intend to do in this tournament.
Everyone behind me are the 128 captains of the top teams in the United States, and every one of them has a target on their back!" Kodai looks back at all the captains.
"I'm going to crush the best of you... well that is if you can beat my other members to get to me." Kodai declares as he gives the mic back and leaves.
