Carrot shrieks seeing this, and they're both hit with a forceful wind.
"ADAAAAAAAAAM!! DARLING?1/" She shouts as they both stand to see what happens next.
Adam emerges, coughing from the smoke and light, covered in what looks like a rubbery white snot. He shouts out in rage, trying to pull his arms away from his sides, but the substance is too strong.
"I'm-Gonna-K-kill-YOU!" He screams at Ethan, who merely whistles and tosses his designer racket in the air. Adam takes the racket that's still in his hand and tries to throw it at Ethan. The Racket only makes it halfway, then snaps back towards Adam and slams him in the crotch.
A Sympathetic groan was wimpered from every male in the audience.
Koi winces, unable to stop from imagining the pain. The brunette collapsed, holding himself, his face twisted in excruciation. Ethan falls to the floor laughing.
"And THAT'S how you play tennis!" Ethan Shouts.
"You're supposed to knock some balls around, but not mine, dickhead!" Spits Adam, still curled up and stuck to the ground in pain.
"Rules are made for homely, uncreative people, unlike myself!"
"Ethan!" Carrot yells out. "Don't hurt my Adam, we want to have kids someday, you know!"
Koi looks over at her and falters. "I don't think you are helping him."
Ethan laughs even harder. "And you're worried about me busting your balls?"
"Oh lord, why can't I just get shot by gang members and die already?" Prays Adam lightly, still in pain. "Okay, asshole, okay! Hurry up with the disspell already. I can't move, and ants are marching up my nostrils."
"Disspell…hmmm…" Ethan fakes a thoughtful look off into space. "Disspell…Dis-SPELL… You know, I never learned the disspell for this trick. Just plum forgot!"
Adam growls, beginning to struggle again.
Ethan bends over to hear what he's saying. No sooner does he do this when strands from Adam's tennis racket shoot up and wrap around Ethan's neck, wrist, knees, and ankles.
"What the F─" Ethan screams as the strands pull him into the gooey mess.
"My Hair!" He yells as he tries pulling himself from Adam.
"Man oh man, those herbal shampoo people are gonna burn your commercial contract after this." Adam chuckles. "Remember, you're not the only one who can do that high voodoo shit. Mine's, however, requires some ingenuity in the form of building a racket that can sense high levels of magical power. Then, implementing the netting to snare said pagen and physically restraining him. I call it " The Bear trap", Patent and copyright, Adam J. Kirage, of the SOMNIX nd Ultrmind Corp…"
"Will you shut up! It's not bad enough I'm stuck with you! Don't bore me to death with your science speak on top of it!"
One of Ethan's groupies who's hanging on the fence turns to her friends and mutters. "These two outta have their own sitcom."
"But why aren't they getting up?" Another one asks.
"Where's the disspell, shit face?" Adam shouts.
"I don't know it like I said!" Ethan shouts back.
"Well, I'll shit on a shingle, of all the stupid things to do!"
"Enough!" Now every time Ethan's mouth opens, they reveal electric sparks, currents forming as if there was a light storm forming in his mouth.
"Oh, Ethan, baby, don't get mad. Oh my nuts still hurt, big daddy, why don't you give me a little rub…"
"I don't think Ethan knows the Dispel, Koi. He would never risk his face and hair getting messed up like that." Carrot whispers.
Koi turns to see her giving him the puppy dog eyes.
"Huh?" he blinks at her, confused.
"Koi, I know you know it. You know a lot of magic! Better than me. Probably better than Ethan!" Carrot nods, eyes growing sadder with every sound of zapping, the young electric mage unleashed, and with every blood-curdling scream his robotics wiz of a victim gives.
"Better than…Ethan?" Koi repeats. He turns those strange, bloody eyes to the field watching Ethan. His power was strong; everyone knew that. No one knew or cared anything about Koi.
Adam manages to get a foot up and kicks Ethan in the face, shooting his head back, but the elastic pulls Ethan's head forward again and right into Adam's foot.
"Ow!" Ethan yells, trying to get out of his own trap.
"Whahahahaha!! My own personal paddle ball." Adam does it again to have the same effect.
"Koi! They'll kill each other!" Carrot begs.
Isn't that the whole point? Koi wonders.
Another hard volt from Ethan, another scream from Adam.
"Alright, Alright…" Koi says. He could watch Adam and Ethan knock each other senseless all day, but he couldn't watch the sadness in Carrot's eyes. Confused and "Rare" as she might be.
She was sweet, innocent, and unjudging of other people. That's what Koi liked best about her. That's why he'd do about anything for her.
The disspell went more like a silent prayer. Unnoticed by anyone, he conducts it.
On the field, Adam and Ethan's gooey mess is destroyed in the same way it came. In a lightning-fast shock of pulsating light. When it was gone, the two boys were released from their confines and surrounded by a swarm of black butterflies.
"Whoa…" Adam says with the delicate creatures fluttering around him.
Ethan shakes them off a little but remains silent. Then he holds out his hand, and it begins to glow again. The tiny black creatures hover down to it and collect in the warm peace of the glow.
The crowd begins to applaud.
"Now that's what I call a disspell!"
Ethan looks over at Adam, a gold earring sparkling in his ear, and his eyes back to their pale seagreen.
"Shows how much you know, Kirage.' Ethan's green shockers look back over to the audience. "This was more than a disspell. This had style… this had power…"
Koi swallows hard, seeing Ethan's eyes search the audience, and he tries to sink down low below detection.
"Oh…" Adam says, looking up at Ethan with the big browns. "Then this has someone far better than Ethan written all over it."
Ethan's face was filled with an uncomfortable determination. He then turns to Adam and hands him a pissed off look while popping his hands into the air, letting the butterflies fly off.
"By the way, I win." He takes one last look over the crowd and turns. "Don't make a fool of yourself saying otherwise."
He pops another Mentos and walks away.
Adam stands and watches him go with a look of awe.
"Wow…" he mutters. "And there goes the biggest asshole I ever met." He walks off in the other direction smiling shaking his head in disbelief.
Carrot smiles too with a sense of relief. When she turns around to thank Koi there's nothing next to her but a broken glass bottle.
