[IC] S.E.C.R.E.T. (Private)

[RedBalloon]

Unique easily caught his leg and threw it back off to the side. "I suggest you work on your form," she told him. "It would not be good if you hurt yourself while fighting." She performed the same move he did, but with a lot more power and it was properly done. If the kick didn't work then she would just spin around and trip him.

[1Hawkeyes]

Phase wasn't able to catch himself from Unique's toss and fell. He hit the ground hard, accidentally dodging her kick in the process. Please don't let me die, please don't let me die, he thought to himself, forgetting it was just a match for fun. He definitely did not want to be knocked out by any of her blows, so he just turned mainly invisible and rolled away. Phase stood, staying invisible, hoping Unique couldn't find him. Right now, he was tangible to consume less energy.

[RedBalloon]

Unique was throwing a strike downwards, towards his stomach but stopped when she registered that he was no longer on the ground. Straightening herself, she slowly looked around as she scanned the area. What caught her eye, other than the faint heat signature, was the shuffle of dust on the ground that had been stirred up from Phase walking. Her hand and wrist transformed into a laser gun before she pointed towards Phase's direction. It was set to stun and would only temporarily paralyze, long enough for her to win the match, if she got a hit.

[1Hawkeyes]

Phase's heart dropped when he saw the laser, but he didn't have time to dodge. He scooted out of the way, but it managed to catch him, paralyzing him in his invisible state. He tried to call out, but it was no use. His frozen body tilted and fell to the ground, knocking up an even bigger cloud of dust. Oh no, she can see me! Phase shouted in his mind, his muscles spasming slightly.

[RedBalloon]

Unique smiled slightly as she calmly walked over to the paralyzed Phase. She let her hand and wrist return to normal once she reached him. Gently, she picked him up and held him in the air by his collar. A light frown consumed her features. She could sense that she had underestimated how long he would be paralyzed. It would last for a few more moments before he could move again. She let out a soft sigh. "These games are for the people's entertainment, no?" She questioned Phase softly. "Perhaps we should make it look good. Try a little harder."

[1Hawkeyes]

Phase let out a sigh through his half open mouth and gave a very slight nod, almost unnoticeable. He didn't mind Unique getting the win, he just didn't want to be hurt. When the paralysis wore off, he wiggled out of Unique's grip and returned to a visible state. Phase then sent out a fast, but weak, uppercut to her chin. He was comfortable now that he knew she wasn't out to kill him.

"What's this, folks? Unique seems to have lost her grip on the invisible man! Can she still keep the upperhand?" the announcer said in an attempt to hype up the crowd.

[RedBalloon]

Unique made it looked like the punch had more power to it than it actually did. She tilted back, catching herself with her hands and kicked both feet up at him. This was both to kick him back and get her onto her feet. Once she was back on her feet, it was time for her favorite thing. Wheels emerged from the bottom of her feet, preparing herself in a fighting position.

[1Hawkeyes]

Phase went intangible for a split second when Unique's feet would've made contact and sent himself flying back. He slid dramatically on the ground and got up in his own awkward fighting stance. "That all you got?" he taunted, though he knew Unique was in on it. He did a couple of moves that looked like they came from a terrible karate movie and ran at the rollerblading Unique.

"Wow, folks, it's a real party now!"

[RedBalloon]

Unique pushed herself forward then sprung into the air. She flipped over his head in a graceful display, twisting her back so that she was facing down towards him. She pointed her palms and sent a blinding blast towards Phase. Once she landed, she kept the momentum and rolled in circles around her opponent, waiting for his next move.

[LarayiaHunter]

Bluebird watched the fight, her lower lip sticking out as she made a disapproving face. "If laughter is the best medicine, this Phase dude must be curing the entire world with his wimpy fighting skills." She commented to the other Rebels. "Ohhh, man, I really wanna kick his punky little butt." The dark haired woman added, lazily leaning back in her seat and looking upwards.

[1Hawkeyes]

Just as Phase was about to shoot a fake kick at Unique, his world want dark and he tell to the ground. Everyone in the crowd gasped and then proceeded to cheer. Many of them didn't realize Unique could knock people out just by skating!

"Please quiet down!" the announcer said to the crowd desperately. A group of paramedics ran up to the knocked out man and began to check his vitals. Constrast to a few moments ago, it seemed everyone in the stadium was quiet. After about give minutes, the head paramedic held his arms out to his left side.

"Ladies and gentlezem..." the announcer began, "...The Rebels have been disqualified for foul play. We ask that the Rebels remain in the waiting room. Unique, please return to the waiting room. Thank you." At this, the crowd screamed calls of disapproval, disbelief, and disgust.

In the waiting room, guards began to fill the exits, ensuring no Rebels escaped.

Ally's jaw dropped at the claim. "Foul play? How? We were all in here!"

"Ma'am, we're going to have to ask that you calm down," one of the guards said.

"This isn't right! We've been framed!" she said. No matter what, she refused to believe it was a Rebel that caused whatever happened to Phase. Even Blue Bird wouldn't risk disqualifying herself.

"How did Phase even get... Knocked out?" Nightmare asked the guards.

"We don't know," a guard answered. All of them sounded crestfallen that their heroes were now villains.

"Please believe us, we didn't do anything!" Star pleaded. She was partially glad that she didn't need to fight, but she didn't know what would happen to them. They broke the rules to a sacred game, according to the paramedics. She assumed the worst would happen to them.

[RedBalloon]

Unique's normal barriers for the emotions that she found as a weakness dropped, and turned to disbelief and fear. Fear for Phase, mostly. She doubled checked to see if her laser was set to only temporarily stun, which it was. So why did Phase drop unconscious?! She was pulled from her thoughts when the announcer instructed her to return to the waiting room. Quietly, she compelled, returning to the room with her fellow rebels. Looking around at the guards, a frown narrowed her eyes and her metal lips pursed. "None of this makes sense," she stated, crossing her arms. "My laser was set the temporarily stun, not render unconscious. As Ally said, we have been framed."

[LarayiaHunter]

"Oh, just great," Bluebird grumbled, still sitting lazily in in her chair, "we're the bad guys. I kinda wish now that you donut-holes go back to worshiping us." She commented, looking up at the guards. She rolled her head from shoulder to shoulder, cracking her tight muscles. She got to her feet, stretching her wings upwards towards the sky to make her appear bigger and scarier as she looked at the guards darkly. She super wanted to punt thinks dweebs into the middle of next month. THe dark haired woman looked as if she was going to do just that.

[1Hawkeyes]

"Sorry Miss Unique," one of the guards said, tipping his hat in respect, "but we can't confirm that. Detectives will arrive on scene and the universal police will be here momentarily, as this is an intergalactic crime, not a Zem crime."

As if on cue, aliens of all different shapes and sizes wearing red suits stormed in and surrounded the Rebels. The aliens split to let the another through. He was about seven feet tall, still not the tallest in the room, and had blue skin. He held up a silver badge and said, "I am Commander Raiaos. You six are under the custody of The Kreig'r Universe Police. Please come quietly as to not disturb this traditional game any more than it has been. We know who you are and we know what you can do. As of now, you will have a court date set up and the ability to choose lawyers or represent yourselves. You will-" before he could finish, he was interrupted.

"Whoa whoa whoa, hold on there, cowboy," Nightmare said, holding his hands up, "Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? We didn't do anything! Heck, maybe Unique's the one who cheated and the rest of us are innocent!" He wasn't trying to be rude, but if they were arrested they wouldn't be able to help the people on earth. His main concern was who was going to protect earth, and if they lost one Rebel out here, then they lost one Rebel.

"You will have a trial date set up. Then you can prove your innocence."

"How can we prove our innocence if we don't have any real proof other than our words and reputations?" Ally asked.

"Detectives are already on the scene. It will be your jobs to prove you are innocent, while Zem will have to prove you are guilty," Commander Raiaos said.

"But we don't know how space trials work," Star protested.

"You will go over the rules the day before the trial starts. Any information previous to that date can be obtained by asking other inmates or your warden. Any more questions?"
