Petals of Abuse (Solo)

Rose Garden can be so beautiful and that is where the fireworks expert known as Summer Guiyang would usually hang out now, usually she would be hanging out there with Stella, the fallen star or Laysha, the flower fairy. Summer picked them two up not too long ago and she was extremely happy to have them on board for whatever reason. But today, she didn’t arrive with either of her pets. Instead, she arrived with nobody else. She didn’t know why she wanted to go on her own, but she did know that she needed a serious breath of fresh air. She knew that is what everyone should have now and then, time to take a breather and to relax after so much stress. Summer wasn’t so stressed as of late, in fact, nothing interesting has really happened to her lately and that made her extremely bored to the point that she wanted absolutely nothing but attention. She knew that she would get no attention being outside at night time, but in Summer’s opinion, it was better being out at night then it was at day time.

Upon entering Rose Garden, the rising star noticed there was something different about her favourite place to hang out. She noted that there was a surprising amount of cherry blossoms that seriously needed some cleaning up and she didn’t understand why there was so many in the first place, what was worse?? Well, more cherry blossom petals were floating slowly down onto the floor. The female had to be careful in her walking pattern because the slippery petals could really trip her up, which was never really good to begin with, what didn’t help was the fact that it was nighttime and therefore some of the petals will be really hard to see. Kind of like black ice except black ice can’t be seen whatsoever unless you have a keen eye for that kind of stuff.

Continuing to look around, the female bit her lower lip softly as the petals continued to fall down. She really wished she brought someone around to keep her company… Her wish came true in a form of a person that tapped the back of her shoulder, even though Summer wanted to jump and turn around, she could have slipped, so she didn’t bother to.

“Who are you…?” She asked. However, the asking didn’t give her any answers at all, this confused her a lot but she didn’t dare to ask again, she spotted some dancers that seemed to be enjoying the petals floating from the sky onto the floor.

She needed to deal with them immediately. She quickly set up her hands to spark up like fireworks and she charged at the four. Unfortunately they all moved away in time, they all seemed pretty bloody agile and Summer wasn’t sure what to do in order to get them to stop their speedy moves. Summer just had to play the sneaky game and hope they all dashed at her instead. Her sparx was still going off and so she stood still. One of the dancers decided to charge at her back, bingo… She grabbed them at the right moment and grabbed their neck before smacking them endlessly. They ended up being on the floor, most likely unconscious.

With the sparx still being on, she seen another one try to charge at the her, but the female simply stood aside with plenty of time to spare and left out her foot for the other flower dancer to trip up on them. The second one was soon on the floor and so she kneeled on top of them and then smacked them senseless before she backflipped out of the way incase another one of the flower dancers would try and charge at her. But she was wrong. Instead, a flower dancer grabbed her from behind and forcefully turned her around, possibly to try slap her silly as revenge. Instead however, the plant dancer felt some burning on her side and then was treated to a good punch by the fireworks expert. One more was left and the flower dancer seemed to stay still slightly in a panicked state. The flower dancer charged at Summer and the tried to skid so Summer would be knocked to the floor. But she didn’t let the plant person complete her attack phase and cartwheeled to the side until the flower dancer stopped their skidding. Summer then dived on top of the last dancing plant and punched them countless times with Sparx before the last flower dancer was a true goner. The female stood up as she decided to investigate what was truly going on. She had to for sake of Rose Garden, if the petals continued to fall down freely then the other civilians  may never be able to enter Rose Garden for a very long time.

“Where are these coming from?!” The female shouted, hoping that someone would give her an answer, but alas, there was nobody that could give her such an answer… so what the hell was herself getting tapped on the back of her shoulder about?? That was just crazy and quite unbelievable. Nobody was meant to be around if nobody could answer her.

“I need to go around some more to investigate, it seems.” Summer told herself as she bit her lower lip, in order to investigate some more. She had to walk around Rose Garden aimlessly it seemed, just to find out what to do next with everything that was happening. The pink petals that were falling down earlier seemed to have slowed down by a bit, they were still floating slowly onto the floor however and so Summer still had to work to in order to sort it out to the way that she was sure that everyone needed it.

“Something… doesn’t feel right… maybe because it’s cherry blossoms.” Summer told herself as she started to walk around slowly, just to prevent herself from tripping up, she most likely would if she walked normal speed and even though she was an acrobat, not every roly poly would save her from the pain of slipping onto her butt.

As Summer continued to walk around, the black hair flowed with the wind as she turned around to see three short people on high ground, they seemed to be casting some of the petals that were causing havoc around Rose Garden! Summer had to get to work and quick to solve this, this might even stop the cherry blossoms from falling down! If it doesn’t completely stop them however, she was sure that the falling of the blossoms will be that much slower. They seemed to be too busy in their thrills to take a note about Summer herself, but it was indeed time to take them out as soon as possible.

With her hands still sparked like mad, the female cartwheeled to the tree they were atop on and grabbed onto the strong branch that they all were atop on. Soon, the midgets were caught on what was happening and they tried their best to stamp on Summer’s hands that were connecting her to the tree, but she didn’t let them, instead she kept maneuvering around them until she was ready to lift herself up, using her full arm strength to compensate, using this type of gymnastic skill is abound but she enjoyed using the way of the gymnast at the same time. She loved it ever since the day she was able to use it to her free will.

When one of the little people tried to push her body when she was standing on her arms, she instead lowered her her legs while she span around the pole and clutched the shortie in her legs, she then span a few a few more times before she forcefully dropped the short person in her grasp and let them fall to the floor. The black haired female then also fell onto the floor, making sure to land on her feet before she kneeled on top of the short person once more and smacked them a few times. She grinned wildly before she quickly cartwheeled out of the way, just in time too. The female felt a gush of wind and she had to take a look to the side to see an army of cherry blossom petals invade the area where the unconscious shortie. If anything, they were surely dead now. The female then jumped up on the branch once more and then got herself onto the branch properly. Summer decided to give them both a good kicking. She shoved them both onto the floor by laying down on the branch and using her legs and feet to kick them off. The two were on the ground now and they were struggling to get up in order to attack her, perfect.

Summer jumped down on them, making sure she landed on top of both of the creatures and continued to jump on them, stamping on them as she goes. The female then seen that she has done enough damage before she stepped off. She started to get a bit sweaty due to all the exercise. But hey, at least she was trying her best to sort something out. Speaking of sorting something out, the cherry blossom petals were still continuing their rampage, but they have severely slowed down, it seemed that disrupting them was truly the way to go…

“Okay… need to find out what to do now…” Summer sighed softly as she walked around the area, she was sure she left her ring blade around somewhere. Her ring blade was very important to get for multiple reasons, it will be a much easier fighting method, especially since by now, her sparks are starting to wear off completely from her hands. If she can fight with a ranged/melee weapon, then it will be perfectly helpful to her, especially since she can throw it a certain distance and it could come back to her safe and sound. Whilst she was on the prowl, she finally spotted the ring blade that she misplaced deliberately when she entered Rose Garden. She gracefully picked it up with her arm, letting herself carry it like she was carrying a shopping basket or a rather large bag and then went on the prowl once more, she was trying to make sure that she wasn’t going to mess or trip up, any simple tripping could make her incapacitated, she didn’t want to be incapacitated whatsoever… she had a fear of becoming such a thing because she thought that if she did, then she wouldn’t really be able to do anything on a short term basis.

Summer then spotted her… She spotted a female in a pink pretty dress, her drill spikes were silver in comparison to Summer’s straight black hair. She did indeed look very beautiful… in fact, Summer could even compare her to a princess. She was dancing around, happy as larry. It reminded her of when Summer herself always played around with Hung and Jian… man, she has serious friend issues. She sort of has daddy issues aswell, but that’s only because she could never find her father. Snapping back into reality, she spotted the dancer right in front of her and waving at her. Summer had no choice but to wave back at the pink dressed girl before she spoke up.

“Speak up! Whose controlling the cherry blossom petals?!”

“Why, that’s me!” Aren’t they pretty??”

“Urm, no??” Summer retorted before shaking her head. “I mean, yes, they are… but there are just wayyyyy to many around the area, why??”

“Oh… urm… well… because I was bored! I wanted to make Rose Garden pretty!”

“You’re serious right?? Rose Garden is pretty enough as it is!”

“Awwwh… but I want it prettier!!!!!”

The cherry blossom mage went into a fit, she started to throw everything she could at the fireworks expert, but Summer wouldn’t have any of it, she cartwheeled to the side before she stuck her tongue out playfully. Summer was clearly taunting her enemy and she was using it quite well.

“Is that all you got! Well why don’t you focus it on me instead! This place needs no more!”

“Your wish is my command… stupid mage.”

The cherry blossoms started to rain down heavier and heavier once more, the mage really was angry, wasn’t she?? Sounds like she really did just want to enjoy the good life and enjoy how pretty flower petals could truly be, but for now. It was not going to be possible. Summer had to deal with her immediately, take her out or at least stop her from using her magic and just get on with it. Looking around, Summer could truly see the damage that it was doing to Rose Garden. It was getting worse and worse, more slippery petals were on the floor and it was giving more chance for Summer to slip and tumble all the way home. She obviously didn’t want this to happen, so she kept herself from being too careless as the cherry blossom mage threw some earth magic her way. Summer successfully dodged it by performing a one handed cartwheel to the side, but she slipped onto some cherry blossom petals as she landed on her feet. Her butt hurt… It hurt real bad too. It wasn’t so fun to play around when you could slip up at any moment.

“Awh, you’re no fun!” The mage said with disdain, she crossed her arms over her pink dress, she clearly wasn’t impressed and she didn’t want to deal with Summer anymore. “Why are you stopping this place becoming pretty?! You suck! You are a meaniieeee you are a meanie! Let me have my fun at all costs!”

This is how Summer used to act when she was around the boys, it seemed to mirror her personality completely and no matter how she tried to portray it… she just couldn’t seem to understand why it was just as childish as her. Was this how the others portrayed her?? Did they portray her as an annoying little brat with nothing better to do?? No, that can’t be right. She never seen herself as that, she had plenty of friends who seemed to love her dearly and even help her define who she is. Even though she knows that she has some issues with herself, she never let that bring her down, she stayed as positive as possible and that was how a mage should be!

“You shouldn’t play around here! Play somewhere else where your flowers will harm nobody at all!”

“No!” The flower mage retaliated by sticking out her tongue ever so mischievously, she really did kind of act like Summer. It was quite unusual to see, but then again. Since when was Summer the type to contradict herself?? She just had a major moment of contradicting herself right there, it was not good. Summer was herself, yet she was overthinking about her own personality. Summer never thought that would happen, but it happened alright.

“Just go!” The fireworks mage commanded as she threw a firework onto the floor, smoke started to fill up the area and it soon covered up a 20m radius, the smoke continued until Summer couldn’t see anything whatsoever. She had to cover her mouth incase she started to cough like she was a mad person or something…

Summer remembered something in her childhood when the smoke popped up from nowhere, it reminded her of when she was hit by the firework and how her mother described it. The fact that her mother took care of her as much as possible on the day that she was hit by the firework was quite interesting, and the fact that her mother tried to make her realise that magic can be quite beautiful as well as dangerous for everyone to notice. Summer knows fine well however that she can control the power of fireworks properly now thanks to her friends and family back at the village, although she knows she will most likely never see many of them anymore...

Snapping back into reality, she looked around. She cannot see the cherry blossom mage, her pink dress or her very light skin anymore. It surely must mean that she cannot be seen either. She deemed this move was a good one, especially while she still had her mouth and nose covered by both of her hands. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know how long she would last without having to release her hands from the grasp. Her eyes however became affected by the smoke, crap, she didn’t really think this through. Her vision became pure black and now she cannot see a thing except for darkness, so this was how it felt to see without anyone in the world, well, it felt awfully lonely.

“Oh my god! Everything's so blurry!” A female voice shouted. That must be the cherry blossom mage, judging by her voice, she wasn’t that far, although also by the judging, she had blurry vision. On the bright side, at least she has completely sorted this out. But now she has another problem at hand: She had to fight the cherry blossom mage while blind, that was never going to go down well, she had to sort something out about that, she cannot use sparx yet for a variety of reasons. Summer suddenly had a lightbulb moment, and she was sure it was going to work. If she could pick up as many petals as possible… no wait, that surely wasn’t going to work in the way she hoped…

“Urrgghh! Curse you, mageeee!!! I will most definitely get you for what you have done! Curse you and your silly magic that can affect the pretty flowers from falling down!”

Now that the cherry blossom mage mentioned it. It really wasn’t raining down cherry blossom petals after all… Oh wow, she was right! Summer has managed to stop the cherry blossom petals for now! Now Summer will just have to get everything sorted as soon as possibly could in order to keep the cherry blossom mage from committing another splash of pink petals to fall down on Rose Garden for no reason at all.

Summer released her hands from her mouth, at first, everything seemed to be fine… in fact, nothing was even happening. She thought she would have been sent straight into a coughing fit and yet, she wasn’t and she really liked that piece of information. She still struggled heavily whilst being under the influence of such smoke however. The heavy white fog was indeed very harmful for the young girl to take in because even though she wasn’t coughing at all, she was still blind from the smoke that was in her eyes. Biting her lower lip to make sure she still had her sense of touch since her sense of sight went bye bye, she listened carefully for the voice of the female once more in order to try pinpoint her location and to try defeat her with as much force as she possibly could. Slowly but surely, she heard some more complaints from the cherry blossom mage and the fireworks expert now felt the need to navigate towards herself whilst she was blind…

Walking towards the distinguished voice, Summer placed her hand on her ring blade conveniently, she felt like she needed this for a variety of reasons. She also felt that it could help in the situation that she was blind somehow, she might not be able to throw it due to this, but she was pretty sure that she would still be able to keep a tight grip while she danced and span with it.

Finally, the female made it to the cherry blossom mage and shook her head.

“You shouldn’t be here, little mage.” Summer commented as she shook her head. “You should leave…”

Summer’s feet started to spark up like fireworks before she started to skip away from the cherry blossom mage, the cherry blossom mage seemed to be confused, but only because of the blurriness that she was still experiencing. When the female skipped far away enough in a rather cheerful manner, she left gunpowder on the floor as she continued, the smell of gunpowder soon affected the area but this only seemed to confuse the cherry blossom mage, so was still experiencing blurry vision still.

“Huh?! What’s going on?!”

“Welcome to my fireworks show, this is your host, Summer Guiyang! Have a good night and I hope you enjoy the show!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

With them words, the fireworks expert chucked a firework down onto the floor and then the sparks lit up like actual fireworks. The gunpowder trailed down to the cherry blossom mage, all Summer could really hear was screams and grunts of disarray. The mage was obviously hurt by this and didn’t enjoy the burning sensation that she was experiencing. What’s better?? Summer managed it while she was blind, of all things.

The smoke was finally fading away slowly, although it was still obviously around, Summer could see once more however thankfully, she can now see what was going on and she can see the pink dress and the pale skin of the cherry blossom mage one more, her drill pigtails seemed still the same too, she would have thought the hair would have gone frizzy after all the time it would take to maintain that type of hairstyle. Summer got quite jealous, the female had long black hair compared to pink drill pigtails. Summer was almost ready to save Rose Garden now, and she knows she will do it with complete style.

“For the next part of my show, allow me to demonstrate how dangerous fireworks can be!” She shouted as her hands started to spark up like wildfire. The multicoloured sparks that were covering her hands were very dangerous indeed. That, and the fact that her magic was stronger at night time as well is going to be in her advantages completely. She now cannot wait to smack someone to help them get lost and away from her favourite place to hang out by herself or with her pets. She loved her pets dearly and she was even sure that Laysha wouldn’t like to see all the cherry blossom petals, and that was a flower mage that Summer had in her thoughts right there.

Walking up to the cherry blossom mage, the female grinned as cherry blossoms were thrown at the fireworks expert once more, but Summer dodged all of it, performing a somersault in order to land behind the cherry blossom mage. Dropping her ring blade to the floor, she kicked the mage to the floor.

“Ladies and gentlemen!!! I now show the power of sparklers!” Summer announced as she then walked towards the cherry blossom mage and kneeled on top of her, smacking her constantly. The smacks were deemed even more effective because her magic felt much stronger at the night time then it was in the day, this is why firework magic was much more powerful at night then it was in the day time. This is also why Summer loved her magic more so than she used to when she was first overcome by this mystical magic that she has met nobody with just yet.

Summer only stopped smacking when the pink-clad female screamed for mercy. That was when Summer stopped. She breathed heavily as she bit her lower lip. She couldn’t believe what she had done, but she was sure that if the cherry blossom mage screamed for such a thing, then she would have managed perfectly. She may have just saved Rose Garden.

“P-please stop…!” The flower mage begged for dear life, it was as if she was begging for her life in fact. She was pretty upset by this actually. With this in mind, Summer hopped off the cherry blossom mage and she ran off, she couldn’t be bothered to play around Rose Garden anymore. Thankfully however, Rose garden was saved and Summer was happy about that. The cherry blossom petals have stopped falling down completely, now all that was left to do was to clean it up in the morning… unfortunately, Summer was tired from having to do everything that she just performed. She probably should leave it to the anyone with some sort of cleaning job, she has done the hard part after all.
