The Playful Eagle 19: Versus The Eagles! Part 10

***

When is he going in for an attack? We've been walking slowly around in circles in what feels like ages!

"Tengan!" he shouted.

"Yeah?!" I replied with a smile!

"I'm Michael, the man who challenges you to a fight to the death!" he shouted.

"BRING IT ON!!" I shouted back and started running towards him, he did the same.

We both clashed our fists, we both had the same idea!

"Hmph!" Michael said.

I proceeded to smile. He ended the clash and we jumped back.

"It'll be boring with a fight with only fists, so let's bring in spice to make it better!" he shouted and took up an object wrapped in bandages.

"I only need fists, to defeat a joke like you!" I replied.

He looked back at me with a cold stare, I could only sense a little pressure. I stared back with just as cold a stare as him. I could feel how everything around us lost their presence between both our pressures.

"I'll show you the reason for your death very soon!" he said and started to unwrap the object.

Once he unwrapped it, he kicked the bandages away. It was a normal bat, there was nothing special about it!

"Hah! What are you going to do with a bat?" I asked.

"You don't understand!" he replied.

Suddenly, the bat changed into metal! It was clean, so clean you could see your own reflection from it! But how, how was he able to do so?! Just a second ago it was a normal tree baseball bat!

"You see, my Jinni allows me to change any object that I hold into metal!" he said with a smile.

Shit, as far as I know, I don't have any crappy power!

"Now then, let's fight!!" he shouted and started to run towards me.

He got close to me, he was just about to swing his bat to hit me but I punched him right in his face! I removed my fist from his face, he was smiling! He swung his bat and hit me right in my gut.

"ARGH!" I shouted and spat out blood.

I walked slowly backwards trying to take distance from him, he did the same.

"1-1 RIGHT NOW!!" he shouted.

This shitface is counting our hits?! I have to step up my game to not lose, and die!

"COME ON, I'LL KEEP FIGHTING YA!" I shouted back.

His response was to run towards me again. He had the bat ready to swing it at me again. Hmph, I'll just have to dodge it!

"Hup!" I said and jumped up when he swung his bat. He looked at me with anger, but he was trying to put a smile.

I hit a clean kick on his face and pushed him down to the ground.

"ARGH!!" he screamed and fell to the ground.

I landed and stood in front of him.

"Is that all ya got?!" I said with a smile on my face.

He was still for a couple of seconds, but I had a feeling that wasn't all he got. I looked around, there were people fighting but some were also watching the fight.

"ACK!" I shouted in pain.

I looked down on my leg, he kicked it with all he got, in a fast reaction I had to bend down. I saw in the corner of my eye, he was reaching for his bat that he dropped.

SHIT!! What do I do now?

"YOU THINK YOU CAN GET A HIT?!" I said and was able to stand up straight, but it hurt a lot!

"No.. BUT I CAN THROW IT!!" he shouted.

What?! Just as he said that I saw him throwing the bat right at me! It was low, not high enough for ducking, and it was too close for me to dodge!

"AARGH!!" I shouted in incredible pain as it hit me on my gut for the third time, I spat out blood and fell to the ground.

I put my arm on my gut, it hurts like shit!

"Heh.. Ha.. HAHAHAHAHA" he laughed.

In the corner of my eye I could see him slowly stand up, he had a bad balance though.

"You thought.. You could win.. How stupid of you!" he said while still chuckling.

He's.. He's talking shit about me! H-How dare he?! But I can't stand up, how much I try.

"I thought you were a strong guy HAH! I thought you were going to give us a show!" he kept talking.

I directed my head at him, I could see him in front of me, he had a big smile on his face. I struggled, shaking, however I managed to stand up.

"You shit..!" I said and spat out blood on the side.

"Oh.. You still got something left?!" he said.

"You-" I said before getting cut off.

"SOBAKA!" someone shouted and cut me off.

Both me and Michael looked behind him, where the shouting came from. There was a small puppy!

"A.. Puppy..!" I said while keeping my rage away.

It kept running with fear, it was clear it was afraid. It kept running, not looking and bumped into Michael's leg.

"Hey.." Michael said with a dark voice.

"Michael, hey..!" I said with fear.

Shit, don't you dare to hurt it!

"Who told you that you were welcome to annoy me.." he said and lifted up his hand that held up the bat.

"MICHAEL!" I shouted.

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT CREATURE!!" he shouted and smashed the dog on its head killing it.

Blood was everywhere, no one dared to say anything back. He looked back at me again.

"Now then.." he said.

I could feel something inside of me, it wasn't sadness, it wasn't stress. I could see memories of Koji. The puppy who started it all, Koji, would you let this happen? No, I know what I was feeling. The simple answer is rage.

"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!" I screamed with all I had.
