What The Luck!?

"What's with her stance? She usually has her arms up to defend." Jackson was quick to pick up on what Cara was doing differently. He had been pushed to ficus and analyze more so that he could learn how to do things like adapting better in a fight. His idea was that if he could figure out Cara's plans then he would be able to analyze his opponent's plans better. 

"It's not like she could block a hit full on from him. He literally made the entire place shake like it was nothing." Louis was sure that Jackson was losing his mind if he thought that Cara should block her opponent's hits. 

"She could deflect them though. We have learned a lot of those types of moves. But I think that is not exactly her plan." 

"Sammy is right but I have a pretty good idea what her plan is." Asher was already starting to smile as Cara unzipped her jacket to expose more of the sewn in speakers.. 

Billy was still trying his best to slam his fists in to Cara in the arena. The match was showing off the power Billy had and Cars' ability to dodge and predict her opponents' movements. Yet, when she unzipped her jacket and exposed multiple speakers everyone was curious about what she was doing. 

"I'm sorry about this one but I have to get a little serious this time. You are pretty strong." Cara hit a button and the sound of a musical base line played loud enough to make everyone in the area hear it. To them, it was just some strange music that was being played. However, it soo began to get deeper and more powerful. 

The changing of the beat was caused by Cara. The pace stayed the same but the frequency was changing and becoming more erratic. One of the referees ran over and erected an additional barrier completely removing the sound from the area even though the beat didn't seem to be doing anything. For those watching there was an announcement that the sound was dampened just in case. 

Cara on the other hand was still causing the base to become more erratic. Billy could feel his chest tightening with each and every beat of the base and had no idea where the weakness was coming from in his body. "You should revert and forfeit. I am about to match the same rhythm as your heart and it will not be pretty." Cara was using a tactic she had learned in one of her classes. Apparently, scientists had done experimentations where they matched the exact beat of the music with a person's unique heartbeat. 

This was nothing amazing until they sped up the beat after matching it. They found that the heart beat would match the beat of the music and cause the person affected to be pushed in to an unhealthy state usually causing them to pass out and sometimes cause them significant stress. 

Cara had seen an experiment doing the opposite to slow the heart. The experiment had actually made someone pass out from lack of oxygen and once made someones' heart stop. This was something she would never do. However, causing a panic and pushing her opponent to gove up by speeding a heart beat wasn't as dangerous. 

The reaction of the speeding beat was instant. Billy began to breathe faster and more heavily. His eyes became bloodshot and his attacks increased as if someone had just shot him with adrenalin. Cara used this to push herself to dodge more and begin to taunt Billy to attack more and more to tire him out. She was not a fool and knew that his shift cost him a lot of energy so the more he became tired the more likely he was to give up. 

Billy stopped for a second and Cara believed this was the moment he was going to give up. She was very wrong. Very very wrong. Billy had been pushed to true rage and his body finished the shift he had been holding back. 

His fur turned a deep blood red and so did his eyes. The steam that came from his mouth and nose was now enhanced by the sharper teeth he had grown in the shift. The most terrifying thought was that he had gained an extra foot of height and his muscles had grown again. Those watching were shocked. They believed they were watching a second shift since they did not know that Nilly had been intentionally holding back. 

"Billy! Hold on to yourself!" Cara had to switch tactics. She had just made things much worse by accident and the attacks were increasing more than before. Billy was not also leaving small craters in the ground when his punches missed and his steps were digging in to the stage. The destructive quality had become much more than before. 

After dodging Billy's large hands trying to gran and crush her, Cara was done. She hit another button and began to play a high pitched sound that instantly stopped Billy in his tracks. It was insanely high pitched and caused Billys' nose to believe. 

Cara was not escaping unscathed. She may have had her noize canceling headphones on but it was not enough to avoid the damage her attack was doing. The normal high pitched sound was being amplified by her super power and she was forcing it to reach higher. 

With the constant bombardment of sound, both Cara and Billy couldn't even walk straight and try to hit. Billy fell to his knees and started to revert from his shift while Carta was trying to hold herself up so she would be declared the winner. 

"My daughter is too strong to fall!" Asher had not yet seen his phone to see that his parents had long arrived to watch Cara battle it out for attention and possible scholarships. Her father had not seen any rules that he could not cheer and used his deepest breath to scream his cheer for her. 

The result was better than anyone expected and Cara was back to her feet and steady in a moment. She copied the normal boxers' bounce that Art used and rushed Billy who was almost back to his normal form. 

Her fist was coming toward him as he fell forward and escaped the hit that was sure to knock Billy out if he wasn't already unconscious. Cara hurriedly smashed the button to end the sound and slumped to the ground as well. When the referee grabbed her hand she was still sitting on the ground feeling like her head had been hit by a train. 

"In the end, you ran yourself out of energy. I can't wait until you have full control over your shift so I can have a real match." Cara had also thought that Billy proved to be the most challenging opponent for her because he could power through just about any sound based attack she did. It was the bane of her super power and every time the two sparred she knew she was leaving the match with a great deal of improvement. 

"That was a little crazy. Cara almost knocked herself out if that bull guy didn't pass out first." Art was convinced that the sound based attack had done Cara's opponent in at the end. 

"That guy ran out of energy. He became very pale and lost his shift before passing out. It's similar to what happens to me…" Laura appeared to be a little frightened because she had been where Caras' opponent was and it was not a good feeling or an easy recovery. 

"I'm just worried she won't be able to fight the next match. She needs to take down that girl who makes earth puppets with her terra- kinesis." The worry that Jane had was not unfounded. Cara would be in for a very hard fight next. 

"Se will be fine. That girl has some pretty rough bruises from fighting that guy with the detachable floating arms. No idea how his super power works but somehow she managed to trap that kid's arms with earth and then beat his main body. I stopped paying attention since I was focused on Cara's match too much." Asher was slightly kicking himself for not seeing it but knew that a video would definitely be posted onlline somewhere to watch later. 

"I missed that too but that doesn't matter. End of the day Cara just showed off how tough she is and how far she will push herself to protect someone or win a battle. That's exactly what the scouts want." Art had realized this and saw the multiple official looking people taking notes and talking amongst themselves. 

"I feel like we will need to work a lot harder to catch Cara." The steel in Sammys' voice was plain for everyone to hear. She had begun to think about the ways for her to get from where she sat now to the point that Cara had reached. Jane and Laura were doing the same but Asher was the one that was most concerned. He would need to be able to have the same strength of will to push himself as Cara had now. Then he would need more.
