"3, 2, 1… FIGHT!" the referee shouted.

Both of the fighters threw punches at each other, and the crowd cheered. Benjo got hit, Chad got punched, and they just kept striking each other. In the video's of their previous fights they made me watch, they just wrestled and pinned each other, and it was boring.

Chad got knocked to the ground and got up once more, then Benjo did the same. Mark and I watched in silence.

A few minutes later, both of the fighters ran out of breath and just stood meters away from each other, each taking a moment to catch their breath.


The crowd grew silent, and I looked at Mark

"Damn, that was badass!"

"Yeah, I agre-"

"WHAT IS THAT!" someone shouted while Mark was talking.

I look at the fighters and see a yellow aura and particles floating around both of them. The crowd is in amazement, and I take a closer look. I saw 2 lions beside each of the fighters. Wait, a lion? When did it get there? There weren't supposed to be lions around here.

The two Lions beside the fighters were growling at each other, both of them noticed, but it looked like they didn't care. They suddenly moved, striking poses like they were about to punch. I could see them charging their arms and fists, the aura in their right arm growing larger and larger. The lion beside them began to vanish, dissolving into particles that flowed towards their right arm.

As more of the lion disappeared, the aura in their arm grew bigger. Something big was going to happen if they used their right arm to punch. The lions beside them were gone. Suddenly, both Benjo and Chad threw a punch at each other, both their right arms forming a symbol of a roaring lion. They both saw each other's fists about to hit, so they used their fists to block. Their fists met, and a small shockwave rippled through the air. Both their fists kept pushing, and we could see them getting weaker and weaker, the aura between their fists growing larger. A few seconds later, a bigger shockwave happened, sending them both flying backwards.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!" the referee shouted. Each squad rushed to their fighter to check if they were okay, both of them unconscious. "I really don't know what just happened, but I'll carry him to his house," Janly said. He was one of my friends who joined the Shadow Strike Unit and lived near Benjo. The others helped Janly carry Benjo and took him out of the place. The Elite Squad also carried Chad out.

"What the hell just happened?" I questioned the people around who were still on The Battalion Ground. "We don't know, that's the first time that happened in years. I know I joined the squad when we were still in grade seven," a guy from The Elite Squad replied. The other people grabbed their backpacks and called it a day. Mark and I walked home together.

"That was different," I said to Mark. We started a conversation about what happened during the fight until we reached a road curve leading to Mark's house. We said goodbye to each other, and I rushed home. I changed my clothes, laid in bed, and stared at the ceiling. I kept thinking about it, snapping out of it to continue my game.

"I FINALLY TAMED THE GIGANTOSAUR HAHA!" I shouted after hours of grinding. I went to sleep at 11 pm and woke up at 5:31 am. My phone rang at 7:30 am, time for school. I put on my clothes, packed my bag, put on my shoes and school ID, and ran to school. As I entered the school, the Shadow Strike Unit was crowded around Benjo and The Elite Squad was crowded around Chad at the back. I could hear them questioning about yesterday's fight.

I looked around for Elyzer and found him alone at his seat playing. "Any progress?" I said to him. "I tamed a Raptor last night," he said. I was already ahead of him, taming dangerous dinosaurs and leveling them to fight the first boss, but I was still impressed by his progress. "Oh yeah, what's your favorite dinosaur?" I asked him. "Seeecrreeeeettt," he replied. He always said that when we asked him or asked about any info of him. I let that slide and taught him again a new technique for a beginner, waiting for the time to ring.

Hours passed until afternoon dismissal. I stepped outside and saw a squad crowding two seventh-graders. It was the Avengers squad and The Elite Squad. It looked like another fight was about to occur. I remembered what happened yesterday and my curiosity got the best of me. Maybe what happened yesterday might happen again. Should I watch another fight?
