As they settled in, I went down to see what else was going on in the clan building. It did not take much time for something to happen. Colton approached me and demanded that I face him. I sighed and told him that I would face him in the clan dojo. It was built for sparring. It might as we be used at a time like this. When I got there, I asked him why he wanted to fight me. Colton crossed his arms and said "Abandoning us for a year is pretty useless to me." If he felt that way, it was up to him. I could not argue with that. To them, I did run away for a year. Colton walked up to me and said "I think you should step down as engineer for the clan." I shook my head. "No. I am the engineer. Paul and Brett would not be much better than me at the job." I told him. It was his turn to shake his head. "I want to be the new engineer." I scoffed and said "You can't. That position is taken." He allowed the lotuses on the back of his legs to appear. They granted him a big bonus to his speed and agility. "I'll fight you for it." he said. I just looked at him. He told me that with a really determined look on his face.
I reached my hand out to put it gently on his shoulder. He caught it and said "I'm serious, Brianne. Stand down and let me do it. Contrary to everything it looks like, I don't want to hurt you." I rolled my eyes. "I'm not leaving my post. I also think that it is not the time or place to have useless in-fighting. I have lots of work to do and we have a pair of wars on the horizon." Colton let go of my hand and said "It's all your fault. You wouldn't be scrambling now if you had been doing the work throughout the year." I sucked my teeth. I did not want to deal with him or his bullshit at the moment. "Colton. Go to your room. I do not have time for a childish temper tantrum right now." I told him. He raised his fists and said "Fine then. I warned you enough. I will fight for the engineer position." He then went hostile to me. I was really surprised, but I was fine with it. 1 on 1, I was pretty much unbeatable. He gave me a run for my money. He was able to run and dash about. He was draining my health by infecting me with radioactive damage. Then he used his plasma cannon from his chest to try and blast me.
Colton wanted to win this badly. Colton could not keep up with me though. I still had my magic to heal myself. When he lost. I bent him over my knee. "You are now being punished. You better not armor up. I will hit you harder if you do." I then began to spank him. I gave a light 25 spanks. It was more of a mental damage as he was being treated like a human baby. When I was done, I pushed him off of me and told him to go to his room. He refused and demanded a rematch. I looked at him and said "Did I really do something to get on your bad side? You attacked me before I was ready and everything. What's wrong? I can change if something is bothering you." The AEP unit was upset. "I want the position. If you won't give it to me, I'll have to take it." I sighed and said "Fine. We can go one more round. But that's it." He nodded and we fought. Colton was genuinely trying to kill me this time. To be fair, that was the only way he would have the slightest chance at winning against me. The murderous intent aside, it still was not enough to defeat me. I demolished him and said "You lose again."
