The distance between Wolfe and Boxer was closed very quickly. They threw a punch at each other to sort of test the surface. Both fists collided and the result was devastating. The entire stadium shook from the impact. Dust rose in the arena. Everywhere went quiet. Then it was followed by the shouts from Boxer's fans. Wolfe was thrown off by the collision. There was just no way his fist could stand against Boxer's. He flew and landed back where he began. He could feel his fist throbbing from the pain and inspected it.
"It's not broken! That's good!" He muttered to himself and looked up to see Boxer rushing at him. Closing the distance up very quickly. He quickly stood up and moved to his left. Not too far but far enough to make Boxer lower his movement speed to turn.
"Nope! Still too fast!" He turned to move to his right making Boxer alter his speed to get back on track.
"Right! That should do!" Wolfe had barely muttered that statement before he saw Boxer's right fist suddenly in front of his face, closing in fast. He quickly moved his head backwards but was not fast enough. He got hit in the nose, throwing him backwards into the barrier erected to protect the live viewers. He bounced off the barrier back at his opponent who grabbed him and threw him backwards all the way to the centre, landing face-first on the dusty arena floor. Wolfe tasted blood, then sand, then blood with sand. He groaned as soon as he heard footsteps speedily approaching and stood up abruptly making him feel slightly dizzy.
Boxer was sure Wolfe was done in after throwing him back to the centre of the arena. He watched Wolfe land with a loud THUMP. He rushed at Wolfe again. He was sure he heard his opponent groan. He raised his fist above his head planning to strike at the forehead but Wolfe was prepared this time. He kicked Boxer's right leg, bringing him down on one knee. He struck his face with his right knee but Boxer blocked with one hand and grabbed the leg with the other hand, swinging him around and then tossing him to give himself time and space to regroup. Wolfe fell to the floor again from the toss, turning the fall into a side roll, he stood up back.
Wolfe and Boxer looked at each other, re-assessing their opponent.
"Both opponents are looking at each other again." Brown was already shouting by this time.
"They are re-assessing themselves. But this time with more first-hand information to go by. This is the period when the psychological warfare gets involved with the physicality. Both men will begin strategizing and taking notes of their opponents strengths and weaknesses that they have observed. Aiming for their weaknesses while being wary of their strengths." Jay-B's experience finally came into play here with that enlightenment. Brown took advantage of Jay-B's pause to speak up.
"In short, The fun is just starting!"
Both opponents rushed at each other just then. Boxer threw a punch. Wolfe blocked and threw his. Boxer, instead of blocking, threw another punch with his other hand. He was taking a gamble, relying on his superior 'fist power'. Both fists hit their targets right in the face. Wolfe staggered backwards from the impact while Boxer merely took a step backwards to steady himself before taking three steps forward and kicked at Wolfe's mid-riff, sending Wolfe back to the floor once again.
Wolfe utilized the kick to do a few back rolls, giving himself some space. But Boxer was not having any of that. He rushed at Wolfe again before he could stand up, grabbed him by the waist, raised him above his head and threw him back to the floor. He repeated the same move thrice without giving him any breathing space. Wolfe spat out mouthfuls of blood again and again.
Even then, Boxer still was not done. He sat on Wolfe, pinning Wolfe's hands to his sides with his knees and began pounding at Wolfe's face. Fist after fist after fist. Wolfe spat blood in mouthfuls. It went on for several minutes but Wolfe would not give up. People were beginning to feel nauseated from the scene.
"Someone should tell Wolfe to give up already!" Jay-B was speaking with a concerned look on his face even though no one could see him apart from his co-commentator.
"Yeah! I mean this is getting too much....Don't you think? Wolfe should just give up! It is better than dying! He could just ask for a rematch anyway." Brown backed him up.
Boxer was feeling frustrated and angrily grabbed Wolfe's ankle and swung him and threw him at the barrier once again.
Wolfe spat out blood again. He wiped his bloody face with his left hand. He then stood up slowly, with that smile that had not left his face since the match began. He slowly looked down at his bloodstained chest and looked up at Boxer with a wider smile. It was at this stage that Boxer realised something was not adding up.
"Why does it suddenly feel like Wolfe has been messing with Boxer all this while?" Brown was as perplexed as every other person including Boxer.
Boxer instincts began telling him to give up before it was too late. But before he could give it a thorough thought, Wolfe had already hit him in the face sending him sprawling. He was shocked, then he quickly stood up to fight back but, well, it all just became a one-sided fight. Boxer was punched and kicked and carried and tossed all around the ring without any chance to retaliate. He was sent sprawling times too many to count and spat bucketfuls of blood. And just when he thought he could not take anymore, Wolfe stopped and stepped back. The smile still on his face, encouraging him to to accept defeat.
"I...….." Before Boxer could say any more words, he suddenly heard an explosion. He and Wolfe immediately turned to look at the side from where the sound came. Al they saw at that side was dust, where people were sitting and watching was nothing but fire and dust and on closer inspection, one could see bits of flesh and body parts. The dust was also seen to actually be human skin reduced to dust-like particles. Screams resounded all over the stadium, followed by mayhem. One look around was enough to know the reason. Earth had been invaded.
Colt woke up and sat up."What.... I'm awake, ain't I?" He asked himself. He was sure he was awake. Were his eyes still closed? Or why was everywhere still black? He tried to open his eyes for several minutes. "My eyes!" He jumped to his feet. Or at least tried. As soon as he moved , he hit his head hard against something. He raised his hand to touch. It felt like concrete."Div? Platoon! China? Hey! What the f*ck are you trying to pull?" He yelled. His voice echoed back to him. He touched his eyes. They were open. Why was everywhere still dark?He panicked."Hello! Anyone? Where am I? Dad? China, I bet that is you. Come on, we can talk about this. The bomb thing was just a joke. I wouldn't actually try to blow up my friend." He tried to persuade. He crawled forward as he spoke."Chan!" He changed tactics and yelled. "I'm talking to you. Answer me. Chan! Chan!"**************Wilson woke up, feeling groggy. Like most other times, it took him some ti
Wilson weaved through the thin blades of ice, like a veteran surfer through the water waves. He stretched his hand like before to grab the furious twin by the head just like he did with his brother. He had developed a liking for grabbing his opponents by the face. His fingers were only centimeters away from securing a firm grip when suddenly he felt a change in the air pressure, or was it temperature, behind him. It was hard to explain if he tried. All he knew was someone was now there. He abruptly pulled his hand back, ducked his head and awkwardly rolled to the side as quickly as he could, barely escaping a fatal knife stab to his jugular."Tsk!" It was Colt who clicked his tongue and retreated. He left Wilson and went straight for Fawn who was by now, utterly exhausted from fighting two people at once. She was bleeding from her arms and thighs and various other cuts to her torso. Her clothes were in tatters. Wilson glanced at Dash and was surprised to see him holding out bett
"Sh*t! Zek is dead!" A voice spoke from within the smoke. It sounded muffled as if something was blocking the free passage of sound."F*ck! They discovered us. Rush in and kill them. The girl is mine." A female voice ordered from within the smoke. The third sentence made Fawn chuckle. That was Diva alright.Few seconds later, the swirling smoke of poison rippled."F*ck! Wind dude already joined them.""Just jump through, you idiot." The lady ordered again.Wilson did not wait for them to approach though. The team was still outnumbered, so in a bid to try and even the playing field before it could devolve into total chaos, he stepped forward and grabbed an idiot and forcefully pulled him in before the victim could react. Jim instantly three wind blades at him while Dash dashed towards him and stabbed him as quickly and in as many vital points as possible. The victim was dead before he could even make an impact."Minus two!" Wilson called out."Remainder se
China yelled in frustration as he once again ran straight towards Jim. He had tried to send his near invisible poison towards Jim and the team over and over again but this dastardly Jim, who looked like a mock version of a businessman and never stopped talking, somehow managed to stop the spread of the poison. And what's more, he could not catch up to him either because he was way too fast for him, constantly waiting for him to close half the distance between them before boosting himself with his wind ability and running to the farthest corner again.As China neared Jim once more, Jim leaned slightly forward. His suit jacket fluttered a little. A sure sign of him harnessing his ability once again.China felt the slight sting at the back of his neck increase till his head started buzzing. A warning sign from Colt. As soon as he saw Jim blur out of sight, he immediately sprayed out his poison out of every pore of his body. A thick cloud of smoke instantly filled a meter radius
Noise abound at the Boneyard Arena in Bones Street in Tiger City, as the crowd of spectators cheered. Several teams had already duelled it out since morning and it was not only at this arena but in every other properly accounted for arena in Bones Street, Brawl Street, the seven Major Streets and even Horr's underground wrestling platforms.Never before had the officials of Tiger City paid attention to the wrestling competitions but now that they were planning to join in, they were more than willing to make their first intra city competition as memorable as possible. The competition hadn't even started properly, as that will only begin after the top 64 had been selected and broadcasted to the entire city. Even then, the preliminaries was already bumbling. Every body - individuals, gangs, organisations and even military schools - who dreamt of fame, recognition, money or just wanted to improve their skills, gathered a team of five at minimum and registered to take part in it. Qua
"Wilson! Wilson! Wilson, can you hear me?" Danny called. Wilson turned his head to look at him.Everyone thought he had a good reason for pulling attention towards him. They should have known better."You stink! Can you tone it down?"Dash and Gene Chang immediately scurried away from his side. This idiot seemed to like playing with death. It was best to stay away to avoid collateral damage. But Wilson did not attack. Instead, thin red smoke-like fumes, that Charlie, the instructor and Gene Chang had noticed emanating from him, reduced."Wilson." Charlie called. "Can you control it? You simply have to continue your thought process but slowly push it towards the direction you want it to go."Wilson nodded. For about a minute, nothing happened. Dash opened his mouth and spoke in a whisper, not wanting to break Wilson's thought process."He's taking longer than expected.""Yeah! It's not unexpected. High quality means high requirements." The instructor said.
