55 The Sevens 2 (1/2)

*9Am of 1st May, 2024*

Everybody's lined up in the Arena.

Heracles. ”..Your first month has ended, as you all notice we came a long way together.

I can see in your eyes that you're not the same people who came in the first day.

That's because you got rid of the programming you all were victims of.

In this month the style of the physical training will change.

Instead of having to face me one on one,

we'll work on team work.

Everyday will be a new challenge to do.

All 7 of you have to collide together, complete one another, help one another.

In order to complete the task. Is that understood?”

Everybody shouts. ”Yes sir!”

Sebastin. ”I was waiting for this, gonna be more fun!”

Oumad. ”Will be very interesting to figure out our chemistry.”

Herald. ”Absolutely!”

Heracles. ”Alright! Today, just like the first time..

You will have to move me, but on a bigger scale.

You'll have to move me out of the Arena!”

Ayla. ”What!

But it's too big how is that possible.”

Heracles. ”And it's all 7 of you on me only. Beside I will only use defensive technics.

This shouldn't be hard for all 7 great disciples.”

Alkeyder. ”Yes he's right. You already got the lesson before.

It's not about the power but about the way you do it.”

Heracles. ”Use everything you've been taught.

It starts now!”

The 7 got together and tried to come up with a good plan.

Beazly. ”We'll try 7 plans, each plan will be made of one of us.

Who's got a first plan?”

Herald. ”We'll leave Joshou's plan to the last. As it's going to be the best.

I'll go first.

Obviously i can't use my compensating powers or else this would be done with easily.

It's not the purpose of the training as Alkeyder said,

Beazly! You'll have to engage in physical combat with Heracles first, he'll only be defensive and so you can always bother him. I want you to make him move to the sidelines as much as possible.”

Beazly. ”Alright got it!”

Herald. ”Elara. I want you to use your illusion on Heracles only.

Simultaneously with Beazly's attacks. Lure him into going sideways.

Heracles can jump very high, do not let him get comfortable in doing that.

Alright?”

Elara. ”Yes leave it on me.”

Herald. ”Good, Joshou, i want you to activate your powers right now as we speaking.

Get in the middle of us so Heracles won't notice.

Act as the situation goes, you're already great in this so i don't have to tell what to do.”

Joshou then activated his powers.

”For you Ayla. You've learned how to reach someone without necessarly making a contact with him.

When the rest is attacking the Master, i want you to get close and control his emotions.”

Ayla. ”Alright I will!”

Herald. ”As for you Sebastin, just like the first time i want you to make your sound bubble.

But this time no show is needed, let it be invisible until it gets hold of him.

Heracles will surely feel it coming but as he would be distracted by the rest, chances he may not be able to do something about it is considerable.

If that didn't work, do anything you can to push him.”

Sebastin. ”Alright, sounds cool.”

Herald. ”As for me and Oumad we'll use our powers to orchestrate the moves.

And deliver a finishing touch.

Does everyone approove of this?”

”Yes” replies the rest.

Heracles. ”I am getting bored here!”

The Sevens finished talking and took their positions!

”Oh! So you figured it out?

Alright..

Come at me!”

Beazly rushes with all his power towards Heracles, and engages in a physical combat.

He throws punches after punches and Heracles, standing in his place still.

Dodges all of them in great speed.

Beazly then starts aiming at the lower part of Heracles' body. To make him move from his place.

The latter jumps high into the sky.

But instantly, A long sharp spear ascended from the heavens directly towards him.

It was ofElara's doing.

The thing that makes Elara's illusion so strong, is the fact that it's the realest illusion ever made.

If this spear went through Heracles body, it will hurt him just as much as a real spear would do.

Even if it wouldn't hurt him physically but it will cause the same level of pain and damage.

If the pain is great, the person might die from its excessivity.

Since everyone here is Atlantean, this isn't applied fully.

But it will cause a significant amount of pain that he doesn't need.

He dodges the spear and Beazly surprises him with another attack that he had to shield himself with his hands.

The power of Beazly's punch pushed Heracles couple of meters to the sideline.

Herald. ”Alright nice, Elara! Keep on bothering him

Beazly don't give him time to think.”

Suddenly, Heracles feels himself being held from behind.

It was surely Joshou. But he's not as physically powerful as Beazly to hold him for more than two seconds. It was something else he did!

A spell Alkeyder had teached them in the past month. The ”Tawakof” spell.

Which paralyzses the movement of the enemy for 10seconds.

Enough time for Beazly to punch Heracles with all his might.

With no hesitation, he throws him away for 5 meters..

INTO SEBASTIN'S BUBBLE!!

Heracles is now trapped inside it!

Herald. ”SEBASTIN!! QUICKLY!”

Before Heracles breaks the spell and eventually consumes Sebastin's bubble he moved him as fast as he could towards outside the Arena.

Heracles operates faster than the rest, he broke the spell in a split second and before being moved away he started consuming the bubble.

Luckily. Ayla was there waiting for this opportunity.

”STOP!” she tells Heracles.

Who gets confused a bit, and slowed down the process of consuming the bubble.

Sebastin keeps moving it, struggling to do so.

But his stamina got significantly bigger from day1!

They're getting close...

But Heracles is still far stronger than just that.

He breaks free from Ayla's control and Sebastin's bubble!!

Then landed on the Arena again.

Only a feet away from being out!!

The moment he landed,

A surprise attack came from Joshou, directing a double kick to Heracles' stomach.

Not enough!

Heracles jumps towards the middle of the Arena again.

But is stopped midway by another Elara's illusion.

She tied all his body with a rope made of steel!

Herald keeps orchestrating the scene.

”Oumad!! Teleport him now!!”

In the past month,

Oumad has developped a great technic!

With the aid of Alkeyder, he could combine his time teleportation with space teleportation.

Time and space are heavily related, one would not exist without the other!

After several spiritual trainings,

he was the first to succeed at doing that.

Although he isn't capable of doing it on a large distance

Barely enough to get Heracles out of the arena. Which is what they need for the time being.

Oumad hurries up before his master could break Elara's illusion and touches him.

Herald. ”Yes, we got him!”

Oumad teleports Heracles.
