2 . the fight

"crack !" ( sound of the door breaking ) a mysterious being break through the door and grab onto Ned's hand

The three Ned towards the opposite to door he just broke

(the mysterious being had a physique of a human ,but it seems like his whole body was covered in heayv steel plates rather than a normal human skin . and he seemed like a male ) "SLAM!" the sound of Ned's body being crushed to the wall can be heard through the abandoned inn corridor

After he slammed slammed Ned to the wall and He quickly tries to go in for the kill ,But due to Ned's quick reflexes he dodged his punch in a knick of time . The punched made hole through the if it was for Ned's skull in place of the wall it would totally have been crushed

Ned quickly tries to locate himself in the advantageous in position to deliver hits on the starnger

[ NOTE - During the last chapter i reffer to the starnger as mysterious being ,it's because i did not want to reveal if it was a boy or girl ..... i am referring to the stranger as male cause i don't want to disclose about his age too soon . actually the age doesn't carry much weight in the story but ,it will led my story proceed smoothly ]

He quickly tries to locate himself behind the stranger back. seeing Ned trying to relocate behind him . The stranger quickly turned behind to block Ned's punch .

But it was too late since Ned is already behind him and ready to land a hit all he could to was bare for impact . Ned swiftly threw a punch at the stranger with all his might hoping to knock out the starnger in one punch

" thunk!" The punch landed on his face .

"F**K!" screamed Ned in agony ,and held his fist in pain .( admist the heat of battle Ned totally forgot his Opponents had a freaking steels for skin ) Ned felt like he broke few of his bones when his punch landed .

but Ned could not agonize about his pain any longer ,since Ned is now face to face with the stranger . And the stranger now know all to well that Ned's attacks could not put a single dent on his silver skin

the stranger threw a swift jab at Ned to which Ned replies by doing a barrel roll behind him . the punch and dodge process continued for a few minutes . " if i just keeps dodging he is bound to get tired , that is when i will capture him" thought Ned to himself

"Huff " " Huff " breathed heavily the starnger was out of breath and tired after all the attack and dodge process for what seemed liked an hour .

"Good!" thought Ned to himself . Now i might have a chance of winning this ,his attack and movements are bit slower compared to a few minutes ago .

But little did Ned knew that he was on the edge of tha wall from where Lucas was sent flying .

The stranger moved forward to Ned as he was the only one who knew that Ned was behind the edge of the wall

Ned saw the stranger charging at him at full speed . Ned tries to take few steps back to dodge the incoming attack . but he suddenly stopped in his track when Ned found out that there was nothing behind .as he looked behind to see what's going on .he saw a broken wall .

"why is there a broken wall here !?" thought Ned

[ NOTE - Ned still doesn't know the reason for the scream so hence he still doesn't know that there was a broken wall in that particular room]

Ned was wondering about the broken wall when suddenly he realised much more importantly matters at hand . He turn back towards the starnger .But it was too late for him

The stranger was now at Ned's arm length distance .he could neither move the right nor left there was now way Ned could dodge the punch that was headed towards .

with no option of escape he brace himself for what's coming next .

seeing the punch headed towards Ned's face . He raise his arms up in order to protect his skull from impact .since Ned already knew the destructive power of the stranger whe he basically put a hole in the wall with one punch

The fist connects to Ned's arms

"Arrgh!"

Ned screamed

pain flows through his entire body and he could clearly hear one of his bones snapping . the pain he felt at that moment was like as if he was hit by a speeding car

[ author note - Ned never got hit by a speeding car it's just what he thought ]

The punch not only just broke Ned's bone but also send him flying outside the inn . through the broken wall behind him .

(.... outside the inn where Lucas was lying unconscious.....)

Lucas was lying on ground unconscious dreaming

... inside Lucas dreams....

it was what it seems like a mansion .from one of the room comes a young handsome man with a butler uniform and his long hair tied behind his back a perfect example of a gentleman the man looked like he was in his 20s .

Liam! Liam ! screamed Lucas as he waved at the man

The man looked at Lucas and smiled at Lucas and asked him if he needed anything

Lucas explain about them searching for a person with a special abilities to harden his skin and how he was punched and that he doesn't remember much

to wich Liam replies with a comforting smile

And says

maybe you should stop focusing so much on a kid with hardening abilities and focus more on things like this

Liam shows Lucas pictures of woman with swimsuits and shows some which doesn't even have clothes

isn't it good ! it's good right!? Yes ! , which do you prefer women with big chest or big but or do you prefer small ones

Asked a breathless Liam in manner that make him seems like a pervert .

Completely destroying the gentleman vibe he was giving of earlier

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! screamed Lucas

as he stood up from the place where he once lies unconscious

A puzzled Lucas lookes around , to wrap his head around what actually happened .a few seconds of looking around he finally understood what he actually just saw was nothing but a nightmare

[ Author - do the bad dreams we see at day also be counted as nightmare 🤔 ]

oh it's was just a nightmare , there's no way Mr Liam can be a pervert

says Lucas as he smiles stupidly and let's a sigh of relief

But his smiles disappeared when he saw Ned flying towards him from above ( Ned was sent flying from earlier by the stranger )

ahahahahaha laughes Lucas helplessly as he knew what was coming next and knew he can't dodge what's coming next

CRASH!

Ned falls in top of Lucas knocking Lucas unconscious again

Argh!!!

grunted Ned as he stood up .his whole body hurt especially his right arm where the overpowered punch hit and broke his bones. He could no longer use right hand .

the stranger follows Ned by jumping through the broken wall through which he threw Ned and Lucas and giving of a perfect landing

[Author - Ned is a kid with age around 14 to 15 with a s black hair covering his one side of his eye completely with his hair ]

The stranger rushes towards Ned with full speed as he knows that Ned's it's at his limits after receiving a lethal blow from him . this time with a determination to end it.

He charges towards a tired Ned

knowing to well that Ned could no longer run as his whole body was aching from pain .Ned fall to his knees and close his eyes and waits for what's coming next

.

.

.

.

Ned and Lucas fell unconscious in the ground as the the stranger looked at them announcing his victory

[AUTHOR -he is not literry announcing his victory here it's just a choice of words ]

after finally making sure that the both of them were unconscious the stranger finally lowered his gaurd . his skin started turning his steel plates seems like it was disappearing in thin air .

Revealing a boy ( around 17-20 ) he had a red hair and blue eyes

the stranger looked at the both of them lying unconscious on the ground and feels sympathetic towards them but deep down he knew he could no longer stay around as his hide out was found out

He turned around to walk away

when suddenly a second Ned was behind him with a large wood that looks likes a club .and hit the stranger with the club in the head

the hit was so quick that the stranger didn't have time to react

everything around the stranger suddenly filled hazy and he feels his consciousness and his legs giving away .as he struggles to keep his eyes open as he fall to the ground unconscious
