"I want to continue my story! I don't need someone to change my fate or my story! I can do that myself!"
He laughs. "Good. Good. Good. Now that's what I was expecting." He looks at me with intensity. "So you want to go on?"
"Yes."
He sighs. "Why do you want to go on? What is your reason for doing this, which you want to do?"
I begin thinking, then stop. "I want to grow stronger, so strong that I will be able to defeat you and all who are like you, in other to protect those I love or those who are like me."
He smiles a warm smile. "That's nice, make sure you keep at it and become more than the expectations of all." His smile disappears instantly and he says, "But first, him." He points at Mr Mike and clicks his fingers, releasing everything and teleporting to another side in an instant.
Mr Mike tries to land a punch on me, but I luckily dodge it.
I begin focusing more.
'More! More! More!'
He tries to punch me again, but I dodge.
My organs of sensing begins to boost, making me sensing him more than ever. I begin seeing him, hearing him, feeling him and even smelling him, through the thick fog.
He tries to punch me again but I dodge.
"You're getting better! Keep at it boy, and you just might not die!" Mr Mike says calmly.
Something zooms towards me, but I dodge it. Another zooms again, then another, then another. The things zooming pass me keep on coming, but I continue to dodge. I sense Mr Mike's presence at my left side and quickly turn left. A sudden powerful punch lands on my right cheek, clearing the fog and sending me flying. I land with my feet sliding and digging into the ground. I finally stop and straighten myself. My jaw and cheek is aching badly, but thanks to my breathing, it is reducing at a normal pace. I look at Mr Mike, gasping for air. He looks normal, like nothing is happening.
'How can he not be tired?! And how did he change his location so fast?!'
"You're quite good. I never expected you to hold on for this long, on your first fight." Mr Mike says, his voice filled with pride.
I manage to laugh a weak laugh. "I guess, I learnt never to give up!"
He laughs. "True. True. Now focus!"
A long golden sword lands in front of me. I look at it in horror, and then at Mr Mike.
He smiles and points up. I follow his hand and stare at the hundreds of different kinds of swords above us in more horror.
"How about a game of sword play." He says and laughs.
A long golden sword lands in front of him. He holds the hand and pulls it out. "Grab yours. Let's make this interesting!" He gives me a warm smile.
'This man is insane! So so insane!'
I grab the sword in front of me, my hands shaking badly.
"Don't hold back! Cos I won't!" He says and shouts, "Tailogator!" A five feet alligator with a strangely long tail appears beside him. He fuses with it and is covered in green shiny scales, has long claws and medium fangs and has a bizarre five feet tail.
He appears in front of me and attempts to slash me with his sword, but I luckily counter it with my sword. He uses his tail and whips me an extremely painful whip on my waist, causing me to groan in pain. He zooms back.
"Come on kid, move!" He shouts, a hint of encouragement in his voice.
I begin focusing more. Hoping I will be strong enough to match with him.
He zooms forward again and tries to strike me with his sword. I counter attack it and give him a powerful punch that releases a strong wave and causes him to slide back. He stops and straighten out himself.
"Yes. Go on. Go on." He laughs a loud laugh. "You are good. So so good." He laughs more. "Show me what you've got. I can't remember the last time I had such a great fight."
"But you and your son!"
He ignores me and zooms towards me and I zoom towards him. Our swords clash, creating a powerful wave and a crack on the ground below us.
We both move back, then rush forward again and begin clashing our swords, creating waves and little sparks of light.
Mr Mike begins increasing his pace, making his hand a blur of motion, but I manage to keep up. We begin zooming around, clashing our swords with more force and speed. Slash marks starts appearing around us as the clashing increases.
"Good, boy! Good! Good! Just keep this up!"
The swords above us begin landing randomly on the battlefield. Each with such speed, that it is almost a blur.
'This is insane! This is insane! This is insane....!'
The swords dropping speed increases, making them somehow harder to dodge.
I begin breathing more slowly, though it is starting to hurt, I have no other option. I increase my breathing force and reduce it's entering and exiting speed. Everything begins slowing down. I begin seeing the dropping swords, clearly. And Mr Mike's movement becomes clearer, but my inside is starting to hurt.
I begin moving at a slightly faster pace, countering his attacks, dodging the dropping swords and attempting to attack. The dropping swords finally stop, but the fighting continues.
A spear lands in front of us, missing us and scaring me. Lots of weapons begin dropping at almost everywhere and with more speed.
"Are you trying to kill us?!" I ask in frustration.
"No. I'm trying to make it more challenging!" He replies and laughs aloud.
We continue clashing our swords, slash marks appearing almost everywhere in the environment.
Mr Mike begins using his tail to whip me, making him more harder to fight. I try striking the tail, but the sword bounces off.
'What in the....!'
"The tail isn't normal, child!" He says and whips me a stronger whipping, creating a wave and sending me flying.
I land to the ground and instantly, lots of weapons lands on me, passing through me and entering the ground.
"Are you ok?!" I could hear him shout.
I close my eyes, shouting in pain as more lands. The dropping stops, but ten weapons are pinning me to the ground.
'Hey! Hey! Hey! Bear it! Bear it!' The voice in my head shouts.
'I can't! I can't!' I say, gasping for air.
'You can! You can!'
'I can't bear the.....!'
'Donnnnnn't!'
'...paaiiinnnn.....!'
A sudden rush of pain envelopes me and I begin shouting like a wild person.
'God dammit! You can't fool! It's too.....!' His voice trails off in my head, as the pain grows and my shouting increases.
I open my eyes still shouting, releasing powerful waves that shatters the grounds around me.
"What's going on?!" I could hear Mr Mike shout.
"He is using 'the pain!'" The hooded person laughs wildly. "Let's see if it is worth it after all."
"My training would still go on!" Mr Mike shouts.
I stop shouting and look at Mr Mike, not feeling myself anymore.
He zooms towards me and attempts to punch me.
