Walking Tall

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

The obnoxiously noisy crowd chanted fist pumping into the air. At the very center of the commotion facing each other off Seran & the huge man smirked.

"Let me guess another one of those freaks from the other city?"The huge man said chuckling arrogantly.

"Uh, freak? Nah, I just got here I'm not following on this inner city crap you're talking about but whatever it is ain't applying to me."Seran says raising both hands towards the center of his chest, clenching them into fists.

"Haha, so you're one of us why don't you just step aside kid so I can finish slaughtering that little freak back there."The huge man gestured his right hand shooing Seran away.

"Sorry, I've got a no policy for hurting people that I owe a favor. So why don't we just cut to the chase already."Seran said earnestly.

AvelRahd & SahQuis ran over behind Seran shouldering Zophiria off of the ground to safety. Elder Ihathir created a force field around the three of them to protect Zophiria from further harm. The crowd booed as Ihathir kept them at bay as they tossed rocks. Concerned for not only the barrier but for Seran's safety the elder warned him.

"You do not have to fight this man Seran. Be wise go to the inn." The Elder anxiously said, holding his posture to keep up the barrier.

That offer sounds tempting but I'll pass. Someone's gotta teach this muscle head a lesson, and I've got one full course of kick-ass for him as an exclusive deal! Seran announced.

"Nervously the elder says, Do be careful this isn't like battles you have back in your world. "

Ignoring the elder Seran charged forth with a lead left hook that swished missing its target. Seran was confused as the huge man smirked at him. Frustrated Seran throws a combination of punches only for them to be evaded by mere inches of the huge man.

"What's wrong? Can't hit me?"

The huge man said mocking Seran.

Shut up & fight me!

Seran yelled.

"You asked for it, kid!"The huge man exclaimed hitting Seran with a huge overhand right that sent him rolling into a backward recovery. Before he could regain sight of the huge man an uppercut smashes under Seran's chin from his giant fist pushing Seran airborne as he juggles him into a running clothesline.

"I'm gonna rip you limb from limb!"The huge man cackled loudly tossing Seran into the crowd and bowling them over like pinballs movement came from Seran beyond the crowd as they continued chanting.

Tch, the small fry should've known you couldn't hang in battle with the likes of me. The huge man spat turning around as he assumed the battle had come to a close.

Parting through the crowd bruised & battered Seran panted as he forced himself upright clenching his hands into a fist once more with a battle cry.

"This fight ain't over it's just started! "

Turning back to face Seran the huge man erupted into a sinister cackle again.

"That's the spirit kid get up so I can beat the living crap out of you again! I'm surprised you're still even standing after that. I like people who have some backbone. Tell yuh what kid you can tell me your name before I kill yuh."Jungo implied.

Seran didn't respond.

Well if you're not going to tell me your name I'll gladly tell you mine. The names Jungo & I run this part of the city ain't that right boys?

Jungo!

Jungo!

Jungo!

The crowd chanted as Jungo snickered.

Elder Ihathir, AvelRahd, & SahQuis tensed up at the situation at hand. With two allies in critical conditions, surrounded by a mob of hateful outworlders, and one huge Jungo they were forced to bet the stakes on Seran's victory.

"Seran! Stop trying to fight him on equal terms & fight him the same way you fought at the Flower Garden. Fight as if your life depends on it! "

Elder Ihathir informed Seran from the sidelines inside the barrier.

I know what I'm doing!

Seran shouted dashing towards Jungo again feinting a jab at Jungo to get a reaction. Jungo stepped just out of range a little. In the notice, Seran drives in forward jabbing Jungo in the face three times. Before he could answer back Seran sidestepped to Jungo's backside forcing him to guess. Giving Jungo multiple body shots made him turn throwing a wild haymaker that tore into the ground and immobilized his arm for a moment.

You little punk!

Jungo grumbled & groaned as Seran cracked him with a combination of a one-two hook. Forcibly ripping his arm from the ground Jungo swings wildly as Seran evades two haymakers & blocks the third. Brusied on the arms Seran shook his hands in a bit of pain from blocking that attack.

Grumbling Seran said to himself."Damn, that hurt. This guy packs a punch."

Don't fool with me!

Jungo leapt into the air crashing his foot into the ground. However, in a nick of time Seran barrel rolls out of harm's way.

Elder Ihathir sighed in relief that Seran avoided Jungo's heel attack. Spectating carefully on the battle Ihathir concluded that he could beat Jungo but not at the rate that he's going.

SahQuis heal Zophiria AvelHard grant me insight into Seran & Jungo's body conditions.

"Yes, elder," SahQuis said, concentrating a small orb of light onto Zophiria's chest he applied pressure with the palm of his hands.

"On it AvelRahd." said, as he held both hands together he peered in revealing the vital signs and body heat with infrared sight.

Seran's body was starting to gain lots of excessive red spots while Jungo on the other hand only had mere specks of red markings with yellow outlines.

"Lord Ihathir our companion isn't doing so well it appears the newborns body is reaching its limitations," AvelHard informed.

"It's as I suspected."Ihathir anxiously said gritting his teeth.

"The boys body can't take much more of this.Not while he's just come from the womb of flowers he needs time to adjust." Ihathir said to himself.
