•••••••••••


     Using my telekinesis, I draw every judge from their chair and into the center the arena.

     I touch the pale skin of the oldest woman and feel her power make it's flaming course through me.

     I, next, touch the hand of a dark-skinned, blue eyed man across from her and feel the power of the Earth below me.

     I do this repeatedly, gaining the power of every judge, then throwing away the ones I don't need or want.

     I teleport them back to their seats, and they remain in shock.

     With the flick of a finger, I create clones of myself, each in pairs. They each face their partner, having a powerful ability I've decided to give them.

     They start to battle.

     A pair with Wind and Heat, another with Telekinesis and Water, a Teleport and a Muscle, and a Time and a Speed.

     They are all fairly equal to each other, but I make them fight to the best of their ability.

     The Wind is spinning through the air, dodging the fireballs of the Heat, repeatedly making the Heat dizzy by spinning him around.

     The Telekinesis is being drowned by having water forced down its lungs and water shoved into its eyes.

     The Teleport is repeatedly gathering weapons and flitting around the Muscle, stabbing and punching at every chance.

     The Time is forcing the Speed to relive its worst memories as it thrashes on the ground, digging its quick claws into the cracks in the concrete. The entire arena shakes at the power of the Time, brutally killing the other clone.

     "Stop!"

     Everything freezes.

     A judge is looking down at me from his seat, tracing the tattoo on his neck.

     I look around, and find that the arena is destroyed.

     The seats scattered.

     The people dead.

     The test is over.
