(Might as well join everyone else in this .)
Reinbo walked alongside the courtyard, in the same pattern he had been all day. Up, right, down, left, diagonal right, left, diagonal northwest. He sighed before sitting down on a bench, causing everyone to stray away from him. Everyone always seemed to be afraid of him, and he slowly got used to it. He had demonic eyes, he had hair that changed color in light, and people could practically see his bones. Only a few people actually understood him.
"Hey ." A whisper sounded in his ear, causing Reinbo to smash his fist into the gut of the person behind him. Jonathan laughed as he clutched his stomach. "Nice one. I'll have to get you back for that ."
"You should know not to startle me ." Reinbo smirked.
Jonathan cocked his eyebrow up. "Startle you ?" Jonathan smirked. "That wasn't close to my form of startling ."
Jonathan jumped up on the bench and sat beside Reinbo. The two had been friends ever since elementary school, and they were always inseparable. They worked in perfect unison on anything, from finishing cleaning in a matter of ten minutes, to working on raising a animal back to health.
"So, who are we waiting for ?" Jonathan asked.
Reinbo rolled his eyes. "Who do you think ?"
"You're always hanging out with Aku now, why can't we just have some quality bro time ?" Jonathan sighed. "I can't blame you though, you do have one fine ca‐" He was cut off as Reinbo jabbed his elbow into his gut.
Reinbo smiled as he saw a pale, vermillion haired girl approaching. He turned to Jonathan and chuckled. "You really need to get a better view on relationships ."
Jonathan's normal joyous look of happiness as he glared at Reinbo. "You, of all people, should know i've had a horrible past of cheaters in my life ."
Reinbo was about to say something, but Aku hugged him as she came up to him, catching him off guard. Jonathan's normal tranquil look returned.
"Nice to see you, Aku ." Jonathan muttered. He got up from the bench, and started walking in the direction of the factory. He was surprised when Aku came up from behind him and picked him up in a hug.
"What have you done with Jonathan ?" Aku joked.
"Put me down !" Jonathan exclaimed.
"Not until you tell me where Jonathan is !" She laughed.
"This isn't cool !" Jonathan couldn't help but give out a small laugh.
Reinbo walked behind the two jokers. They had always found a way to cheer each other up when one of the two got down . Whether it was Jonathan with his jokes, or Aku's bear hug of friendship. He looked up to see Jonathan struggling to get free, so Reinbo joined in on the fun. He grabbed Jonathan and threw him up in the air, before catching him.
"What the hell is wrong with you ?!" Jonathan cried out as he was in the air. Aku and Reinbo laughed as Jonathan was set back onto the ground, before he fell to his knees.
"There isn't a dull moment around here, is there ?" Jonathan said.
"Nope ." Aku said as she got him into another bear hug before putting him down. "Now, what was wrong ?"
"Oh, nothing big. I'll tell you later ." Jonathan said. "Hey, what gets louder as it gets smaller ?"
"That doesn't sound like a good joke ." Aku said. Reinbo was holding back laughter from behind her.
"A baby in a trash compactor ." Jonathan laughed. Aku's face went from fright, to pure happiness.
Aku laughed, before hitting her head on the branch of a tree . "That's hilarious. But, we're probably all going to burn in hell for things like this ."
They had reached the factory, it's tall structure looming over them, it's shadow shielding them from the sun. They had about an hour or two able to be spent in the factory.
"So, what should we do today ?" Reinbo asked.
"Shall we have a small tournament ?" Jonathan asked. "Like, a match of every combination . The last could be all three of us going at it ."
"I like the sound of that ." Aku shook her head, nodding slowly. The trio walked into the factory, intent on pummeling each other in Lyoko . Reinbo set up the scanners and walked into the virtualization room, and walked into one of the scanners. They each counted down to themselves.
"One, two, three....virtualization !"
They appeared in Lyoko Central, the new main town of Lyoko .
"Ok, who's going first ?" Reinbo asked.
"I'll fight Aku ! I have to get back at her for that bear hug !" Jonathan was quick to reply. His mask of plants sat on his face, but Reinbo could tell Jonathan had his usual smirk on his face. He got in the center of the ring, followed by Aku. Each of the members of the trio had a mask on their face, and Aku and Jonathan both donned cloaks, hiding what they had on underneath. Jonathan unsheathed his katana, ready to fight. His katana had a green blade and hilt, and thorns ran down the blade in a spiraling motion. Vines made up the wrap of the handle, and the hilt was a blood red metallic rose.
Aku held her blade in front of her, it's molten appearance and flesh spikes waiting to strike the nature blade. "Are you that eager to lose to me ?"
"One ."
Jonathan and Aku glared at each through the eye openings.
"Two ."
Their grips tightened on their blades .
"Three ."
They got into fighting stance .
"Fight ."
Jonathan lunged forward, his katana clashing against Aku's large blade. He was forced to a knee, and it already seemed as though the fight was almost over.
"Aww, that's a shame. I thought the fight would last ." Aku laughed as she forced the sword lower. Jonathan lowered his blade diagonally, causing Aku's blade to slide off. Jonathan jumped up, twirling his blade into cutting Aku's back. He stabbed his blade into the ground, causing the vines and thorns to extend into the ground. A large tree structure surrounded Aku, trapping her inside. Jonathan turned around and snapped his finger, causing the tree to collapse. He whistled casually.
"What was that about the fight lasting ?" Jonathan called out.
"Jonathan ." He heard a voice from behind him. He turned around to see a raven haired girl. "Remember me ? Lucy ?"
Jonathan looked ecstatic, smiling behind his mask. "I thought you would never come back ." He walked up to Lucy, before cutting her arm with his blade. He leaned into Lucy's ear, and whispered . "If you're going to create an illusion, don't make it of a filthy cheater ." He kicked Aku out of the ring, her illusion of Lucy gone.
Reinbo turned to Jonathan, nodding. Jonathan helped Aku up from the ground.
"Good job out there ." Jonathan smiled. Aku nodded before punching his arm.
"That's for not letting me win like usual !" Aku pouted.
Jonathan laughed. "I can't always be a nice guy ." Reinbo walked over, handing them both drinks.
"I'll be facing Jonathan next ." Reinbo said plainly.
"Ooo, this should be fun ." Jonathan cracked his neck, and sheathed his katana. "Too bad I don't get to rest ."
Reinbo jumped up into the ring. "Hey, Aku. Take notes, you might see Jonathan and me at our full potential ."
Jonathan smiled as Reinbo unsheathed his double bladed rapier.
"Distortion versus Nature ." Aku muttered. Jonathan threw aside his cloak, and unsheathed his katana, throwing aside the sheath too. The two counted down mentally, before they both lunged at each other. Sparks flew as the blade clashed with each other, strike after strike, slash after slash. Jonathan would rake the thorns of the blade on Reinbo's skin, Reinbo would distort the causing Jonathan to have to jump along the distorting areas. Jonathan let the vines of his handle shoot into the ground before coming up and wrapping Reinbo into the air.
"Now, now. Reinbo, I thought you were stronger than that ." Jonathan clicked his tongue. He felt the distorting aura in the air, so he walked forward slowly before snapping his fingers. "There it is ." Reinbo's aura caused the vines to retreat back to the handle of the katana.
"You didn't think I would give up that easily, did you ?" Reinbo laughed. He ran towards Jonathan as he had his back turned and stabbed his blade through his back. Jonathan stood still for a few moments before falling to the ground. "Now, you would normally be smarter than that ." Jonathan slowly merged with the ground. "What ?"
"Oh, I am ." Jonathan's voice rung in Reinbo's ear from behind him. He spun around and caught the blade of Jonathan's katana just in time. "Tsk, tsk, Reinbo, you're getting slower ." Jonathan unleashed a barrage of slashes and jabs at Reinbo, with Reinbo countering expertly. Reinbo kicked Jonathan across the arena and jabbed his rapier into the ground. The ground of the arena completely distorted, but Jonathan stood on his katana which he jabbed in the ground. The katana was absorbed into the arena once the distorting had finally begun to quit.
"Well, would you look at that ." Jonathan sighed as a tree raised him up on a platform. "I'm defenseless now ."
"Don't lie, you haven't even used your signature weapon ." Reinbo barked at Jonathan.
Jonathan laughed. "Reinbo, Reinbo, always seeing through my tricks ." Jonathan paused before removing his mask from his face. When Reinbo saw his eyes, he was stunned. Jonathan's sclera had become pitch black, and his pupils and iris' were dark green. "But, neither have you ."
Reinbo nodded before removing his own mask. He threw his rapier to the side and a multicolored aura surrounded his fingers. A smirk split Jonathan's face as he was lowered to the ground. Another small tree rose from the ground and opened to reveal a pure green large kitchen knife. He picked it up from where it was in the tree, and sprinted towards Reinbo. Reinbo pointed his fingers around the arena, causing it to distort in the areas he pointed. Jonathan jumped above the distorting areas, his hair covering his eyes. He jumped towards Reinbo, twirling like he did in his battle with Aku. He stabbed the knife into the side of Reinbo. Reinbo coughed up some blood before Jonathan smashed his fist into the gut of Reinbo, causing him to cough up more blood. Jonathan's hair flew up to reveal one eye. His sclera were darker, and his iris' had become blood red.
This was the result of competition, Reinbo knew that much. He engulfed his hands in the multicolored distorting aura, and slashed his hands in the air causing the air to distort in a strange way. The blood crazed Jonathan jumped aside, and waited for the next attack. He ran forward, the knife still red with the fresh blood. Reinbo moved the ground up, caging Jonathan inside causing the knife to drop to the ground. Reinbo picked up the knife and made it implode on itself. He smashed his foot into the side of Jonathan's head, causing him to go unconscious. He picked up the limp body and walked to Aku.
"Let's go ."
"G'night !" Reinbo called to Aku from down the hall. The group had gotten back barely on time, and were forced to immediately go to their dorms. Reinbo turned around only to get a fist to the gut.
"That's for earlier ." Jonathan muttered. He walked into the room and immediately laid down, drifting off into sleep. Reinbo made sure all the plants had been watered before he himself laid down.
Reinbo walked alongside the courtyard, in the same pattern he had been all day. Up, right, down, left, diagonal right, left, diagonal northwest.
