Fate, Friendship and Flux

Oh dear. One thing all writers fear. Writer's block. And I've got it! This is the final chapter but I don't know how to write it, so I apologize if this chapter isn't really good.

Chapter 9

(Normal POV)

"Sinedd. Do you realise what action you commited yesterday?" asked Brim Simbra, leader of the Flux Society. Sinedd (with his right arm in a sling), Roxanne, Kara, Rocket, Sonny Blackbones, Dame Simbai, Artegor and Adium were gathered in a hall to discuss the event's of yesterday and Sinedd's use of the Smog.

"Yes, I used the Smog to save Roxanne." said Sinedd, gesturing to his new found love. Roxanne smiled at him whereas Artegor scowled at him

"So, there is... I mean there was a Military Academy and someone was kidnapping and training kids for a Flux War?"

"That's right Great Master." said Dame Simbai

"After Roxanne and Kara escaped they came to Akillian and told you about the whole operation." he said gesturing at Rocket

"Yes sir." said Rocket

"Then, when they were kidnapped an assortment of Snow Kids, Pirates and a Shadow came to the rescue and set all the children free and had the Metaflux removed from them. Is that correct?"

"Yeah!" said Kara

"Okay, I'm sending a investigation team to dig deeper into this and..."

"What!" yelled Roxanne, abruptly cutting off the Flux Society leader "We've told you everything we know! We are telling the truth you know! I wouldn't shoot my boyfriend's elbow just to cover up some lies." she said whilst pointing to Sinedd's arm. Sinedd heard her call him her boyfriend and the thought of that made him blush slightly.

"I know that but it's rules. Sonny, what have you done with the Metaflux?" Brim Simbra asked

"As we speak the Metaflux is undergoing a process which will completely destory it."

"Good." he said before continuing "As for you Sinedd, Adium will decide about your football suspension."

"Suspension! He saved my life! Should he be punished for that?!" yelled Roxanne. Just as he finished her sentence, she felt Sinedd's good arm rest on her shoulder.

"Despite the circumstances you have to be suspended for three weeks, Sinedd." said Adium

Sinedd's jaw dropped while Artegor screeched "What! He's my top striker! The new season starts in a few days, what am I going to do?"

"Sorry Artegor, that's the rules. Perhaps you should do some try-outs in the meantime." replied Adium in a calm tone

"If that's all, then this meeting is closed." said Brim Simbra, floating out of the room in his sphere, leaving Artegor cursing under his breath and Sinedd slightly shocked by Adium's decision. As everyone walked out of the room Roxanne whispered in Sinedd's ear

"Well, look on the bright side. No training for three weeks, that's plently of free time."

"I suppose so." he replied

"Three weeks! What in shit's name am I going to do now!" cursed Artegor. He turned to Sinedd and spat "This is all your fault! If you hadn't gone after with your girlfriend, we wouldn't be in this situation! You wouldn't have got shot!"

Rocket expected Sinedd to leave Roxanne and beg for Artegor's forgiveness but he just merely looked at his coach and muttered "It would have been much worse if I didn't go. She would be dead right now." With that he walked out with Roxanne.

"Now that's love man! Bye Artegor!" said Kara giving Artegor a slightly cocky wave

Rocket grinned at the scene before walking back to Aarch Academy with the others.

"Well? What did they say?" asked Aarch as the group walked in

"Well, there's going to be an investigation and Adium has suspended me for three weeks but hey at least we're all alive." said Sinedd in a monotone

"That's too bad." muttered Micro-Ice

"Who asked you for your opinion midget?!" spat Sinedd, clenching his fists "Ow!!"

"Didn't the doctor tell you not to tense your arms!? Calm down." soothed Roxanne, stroking his bandaged arm.

"Wait a minute. Are you two together?!" asked Ahito

"Geez, you're late aren't you little brother?!" said Thran

"Yeah." said Roxanne, looking a little anxious, hanging onto Sinedd's good arm "You guys might not like him but I do. Don't do anything stupid please!"

Rocket smiled and said "It's alright guys. Besides I've promised to knock his lights out if he hurts her."

Sinedd whipped round and said "Huh? I thought you were done with the beatings!"

Rocket and all the Snow Kids laughed while Rocket managed to stutter out "Re...relax man!"

"Yeah, we'll just keep you in line when you come back." laughed Tia

"Come back?" asked a confused Sinedd

"Yes, we've been debating for some time about it so if you want to take the offer, we'll let you play with the Snow Kids so you can stay with Roxanne. Also Roxanne we'd like to invite you to be a substitute player." said Aarch

"Me? A Snow Kid? Of course I accept! What about you Smog Boy?" she said, nugding Sinedd's arm

Sinedd debated within his mind, on one side; "Back to the Snow Kids? Artegor will kill me!" and on the other side "Well, I'll be with Roxanne". Roxanne looked at Sinedd as he'd been silent for several minutes. After a minute Sinedd snapped himself out of his reverie and said

"I'll come back. Only for Roxanne."

Roxanne blushed, realising that he was giving up the Smog, his team for her. Nobody had done something like that for her. The rest of the Snow Kids were surprised at his desicion but they accepted it.

"Welcome back to the team Sinedd." Rocket said, giving him a friendly thump on his arm

"AAAAHHHH! You broke my arm!" he groaned

"Sorry!" said Rocket, shocked "Oh God, I didn't mean to..."

Rocket was cut off from Sinedd's laughter "Hahaha! You fell for it!"

The rest of the Snow Kids started to laugh, surprised because they had never heard Sinedd laugh before and were wondering how this arrangement would work out.

"Are you sure about this? I mean I know you don't like the Snow Kids and..."

"I've made my decision. And I'm sticking to it."

It was evening and the newly recruited Snow Kids were sitting outside, feeling the cold, crisp air against their faces

"What about Artegor?"

"To hell with Artegor! I'll sort him out."

"Wow." said Roxanne quietly "You'd give up your team, your flux just for me? I mean you could still play with the Shadows and I could visit you?"

Sinedd turned to her, smiled and said "Do you want me in the Snow Kids or not?"

"Huh? Of course I do, I mean that..."

"Hush." said Sinedd, putting a finger on Roxanne's lips "Save the talking for later."

As Roxanne blushed, Sinedd leaned in closer and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips, feeling a emotion he hadn't felt since he was child: love. As he broke away he saw love in her eyes and felt the gaping hole in his soul begin to close. Of course Roxanne couldn't bring his parents back, of course the hole couldn't be closed completely but she was the next best thing. And he wanted to hold on to her for dear life.

Meanwhile up in Aarch Academy...

"Rocket! What are you doing!" Tia hissed

Rocket jumped from the window, not noticing Tia's presence and said

"Woah! Tia don't scare me like that."

"It's a good thing I did. Are you spying on your sister?"

"No, of course not..." Rocket's voice wavered off as Tia looked at him intently "Okay so I was. Hey, I need to keep an eye on her, I don't fully trust Sinedd."

"You don't need to, only Roxanne does." Tia came over to window, smiled at the view and said "Don't they look sweet together?"

"Oi! And you were on at me!" said Rocket

Tia beamed at him and said "I'm one of her best friends. I'm allowed to."

"Girls. I'll never understand."

Tia laughed at him and said "You boys!"

Leaning next to the window Rocket said "It's weird what's happened these past few days, like fate."

"Where did that come from?" Tia asked

"Well think about it. Two random girls come out of the sky and one of them ends up being my long lost twin sister and Micro-Ice has a sister as well! Also it's really great that we've created some bonds of friendship with each other."

"Agreed! Also there's been alot of flux invovled!" she chuckled

"So it's fate, friendship..."

"and flux!" Tia finished

Rocket gave Tia a kiss on the cheek and stared out of the window to the love-stoned couple below...

"Um, Roxanne."

"Yes Sinedd?"

"You do realise that Rocket and Tia are staring at us."

"Yes I know. And I'm going to kick Rocket when I get in, don't worry."
