Syd VS Jody

(....W-What was that Power?! ... )

Jody's arms came back to normal, She glared up and saw Syd was moving his desk away from her.

Jody checked her arms again in the case if there's still something wrong. However, Jody sure that her arms already come back to normal.

( So... You have that power too, Syd Barrett...)

Jody glared angrily to Syd.

( However,... He does have a point. If we started a fight, It will cause both of us trouble... )

Jody sat back down to her seat, preparing for the next class. However, in her mind, she didn't focus on the next class anymore. Because all Jody has right now was a fit of anger. She's waiting for the afternoon to arrive soon.

.

.

.

.

.

Finally, A bell has rung. It was a signal that it was afternoon now.

The students are allowed to take a break and have a free time.

"Alright, that's for today's class. Any questions?"

Students slowly walked out of the class, However, Some are still playing games inside.

But most of them were all out now.

Syd Barrett was going to get out of the classroom too.

He kept all the note inside his bag and checking the time on his watch.

" Hmm... Seems like my watch was slower than the school's clock about 3-4 minutes...I see..."

Syd complains to himself.

He stood up and was about to walk away from his desk.

But....

He can't.

" ?!---- " Syd felt like his face was hitting something at the time he's trying to walked out from his desk's area. But there's nothing there... there's nothing object his path.

" What the---"

It feels as if he's hitting the wall. But there's no wall there. It was a classroom. all around Syd were just others desks.

So this means he's hitting the air?

( what the...? I'm stuck??... )

He tried to get out again but stuck. Syd touched his fingers to an empty space in front of him. And he found that there actually was 'Something' objecting him. ' Something' was invisible. 'Something' that behave like an "air-wall".

Syd turned his face around to check what's going on. He found Jody Connelly was still sitting on her desk.

She sat with her legs crossed. But most importantly, She was staring at Syd and she was grinning.

( What---?!--- t-this woman...)

Syd automatically knew at that moment. He knew it immediately. As he noticed what Jody was doing, He knew it instantly.

" You...." Syd turned his face to Jody.

" This..... This is yours right?...." Syd said.

Jody did not answer.

It made Syd's felt irritating and angry at the same time. He felt like Jody was mocking him, She did look down on him.

" Hey, Listen to me, cracker. I'm not looking for a drama or any fighting. I don't know why you do this to me, I don't know what is this thing and I don't care. Whatever you're gonna pull, I suggest to stop right there and take this thing out."

Syd said,

" I have no time for this child's play. We are all grown up.don't act like a 14 years old kid."

Syd looked at Jody.

" You didn't hear what i said before? Syd Barrett."

Jody started to talk back.

" ? "

" I said to you that you would not be able to leave the class if you didn't say sorry to me, didn't I ?"

" ... "

Syd bogs down,

" Why should i say sorry to you? "

" You don't respect me,Syd Barrett." Jody stood up from her chair and she approached Syd, closer and closer.

" You are very cocky. You are racist. Despite your skills, You're talented, I accept that. But your behavior is unacceptable. I don't like that. If you want to get out, I will let you out. But only you come with me." Jody said.

" Okay Okay fine. I'm sorry Ma'am. I'm sorry for what i have done. I have no intention, I'm sorry."

" Syd Barrett. your opportunity has already passed. Do you think that i don't really know that you said 'sorry' only to cut me off? "

Now these 2 were staring at each other eyes.

( Tch....this woman.... She's such annoying... If i kept her running around and waste my time like this... The 'Plan' will probably break down.... not good... Roxy will kill me and what we did will be worthless...fine... i should end this today.)

" Fine. Let's clear this up." Syd said.

.

.

.

.

.

On a roof of the building.

" What do you want from me? And why did it need to be a roof of a building? "

( Even...Even i have a couple of ideas of what is going to happen next, But i don't want it to happen... please don't be like what i'm thinking..please...)

" You still don't get it? Syd Barrett? You still don't know?..."

Jody slowly turned back to Syd, Her eyes were full of the 'Dark Intentions'.

This was the first time Syd saw that, A glaring from Jody really did shake his spines.

It wasn't an eye of a female students, It's cold. Cold-blood. It was an eyes that Syd never expect to see from an ordinary highschool girl.

" Or do you? "

Jody asked Syd again.

" So... that's it?.... You called me up here just to beat me up?.."

" Beat up? you said?..." Jody twisted her eyebrows, Suddenly, Syd felt that an air around him starts to flow to Jody's Direction.

" No, Syd Barrett. You are wrong. 'Beat up' is for a mere highschool thugs.." Jody started to walk toward Syd's direction.

" And those thugs are nothing but just a mere "Losers" from a real life grouping up and go out bullying people just to satisfy their needs,...."

Jody stopped, at that moment, Syd gulped.

" I won't get any mad if you do what you've done to me with others. but you did not, Instead, The most arrogant one is you, Syd Barrett. You have no respect for the others." Jody said,

" What i will do to you is not 'Beat up', I'm not a thug and i do not hurt people without enough reasons. But I will ' teach you some manners ' to let you know that even if you are number 1, that doesn't mean you can do anything you want."

Suddenly, Syd dodges to the right, as he felt that 'something' very sharp was hitting his left leg.

" Guuhhh----?!?! "

Syd moaned in pain, he turned down and found that his left leg was bleeding.

Syd's trousers were ripped off, It was badly enough that A silk from the trousers came out.

" What ???---- what the?! "

It felt like he was hitting by a bullet.But he didn't see anything coming at his way.

Syd poked his face up and found that Jody was pointing her finger towards him like she was pointing a gun.

" I will tell you know to be' fair', Syd Barrett. This is my ability." Jody said,

" I can control the movement of the 'Air' to move as i wish." Jody said.

" ?!?!?!? "

( W-What?!-- T-This woman... argghhh---.. my leg! )

" Now, Syd Barrett. I don't know who you are, and i don't know who're your parents , But i have a plenty of reasons to do this to you."

Syd noticed that there's an air flowed and surround Jody's finger.

( T-that 'Air'... that 'Air' around her fingers.... I see, So she shot the 'Air' to me. So that's why i can't see any bullets? The thing that hit my left leg... it wasn't a metal bullet... but it was an 'Air' Bullet... An 'Air' bullet she shot to me... So she wasn't lying... damn it!... her ability is dangerous!... Now i understand why everyone scares her... ) Syd thought.

" I respect your ability, Syd Barrett. Your ability to 'Swap' the object's characteristics truely frightened me, I accept that i'm shocked when you swap my arm's 'Flesh' with a 'paper' banknote. So that my arms can be easily pulled off by a small force just like 'Ripping' a paper." Jody said, she's walking closer and closer to Syd.

Syd tried to moved away, he's struggling, However, he wasn't as fast as Jody.

Jody aimed her finger's toward Syd, Now she's ready to fire the next 'Shot' in any second now.

Jody aimed for the arms, She saw the Syd tried to get away from her. Just like a school thugs she had done this to him before.

" Gahhhhh----!!!! "

Syd Barrett screamed in pain again since another shot of Jody's air bullet was fired on Syd's right hand. To prevent him from escape.

A shot cause Syd's hand to bleed like his leg.

" Three strikes and you down, Syd Barrett. " Jody said, " Now remember, Don't even be a cocky in front of me "

The third shot that decides it, Jody aimed her finger down Syd's another hand. She was going to shoot.

BUT....

" I only need 2 strikes to get you, Yanky"

" !!!!! "

Suddenly ,Jody body's was harshly pulled foreward by something. She turned her face down to find what it was? and then she found a 'Silk'.

A silk has been tied up on the ground with 2 pens holding it. The pens were sticked on to the ground and a silk was tied between them.

It was like a string, A 'silk' act like a 'string'. And the pens act like a 'stick' holding it up, waiting for Jody to step between it and fall down.

" W-What---?! A -- A 'Silk' ?!... W-Where did it come from?! "

Jody's body hitting the ground, At that moment, Syd quickly pulled himself up and went straight right to Jody's direction.

And that was the time Jody found the reason.

" D-Damn!! A 'Silk'... It was from your trousers! your trousers that was ripped off?! Y-You!!! "

( He-He acts like he trying to escape?! But what he really did there was preparing this trap??!!! )

Laying on the ground, Jody tried to aimed her finger to Syd As Syd also running towards Jody's way.

At that moment, Jody noticed that Syd's wristwatch was flowing like a rope even it is a metal??? . A 'wristwatch' She heard Syd complains about being slower than the School's clock.

" Syd Barrett!! D-Damn! You 'Swap' your wristwatch chracteristics with a 'Silk' you put between the pens!! So that a silk won't drop amd will act like a rigid body?! "

Syd jumps over Jody. Now He was on top of her body. Syd grabs her hands in order to stop Jody from pointing her deadly fingers at him.

However, It was hard. Because Jody was struggling.

Jody fired 4 shots out of her finger, However, with Syd's grabbing her hands so the shot didn't hit him. Instead, It went on another way.

" As I thought. In the end you are just a 'Thug' ! You really think it will be that easy to beat me? " Syd pulled up his paper, It was a peice of paper. Syd has brought with himself since he followed Jody.

( Jeez, Lucky for me that i trust my ' Instinct '. I thought that this scenario would have happen, So i 'Swap' my important part of organs with a 'Desk' in the classroom before i come here...So Basically, my skins right now are hard as a 'Desk' but... Even a desk, it still takes a damage from her 'Bullets'.... So this means her bullets are pretty dangerous...No wonder what will happen if it actually hits on my 'Real' flesh...)

" I told you, Cracker! Only 2 steps to take you down. I'm on top of you, I take the advantage. There's nothing you can do now. If you admit the defeat I will stop it right here" Syd said.

However, Jody was still trying to shot the bullet out of her fingers. But Syd dodges all of it. He's pushing Jody's hand down on to the ground in the end.

" Hey! I said quit struggling! There'a nothing you can do! " Syd said, " Even you trying to aim at me, but i'm on your top. So i can easily bend your hands away! Now just fucking surrender already! Ma'am ! "

At that moment, Syd yells at Jody's face.

However, Jody said something that makes Syd went stunt.

" Who said I was aiming at you? "

Jody grinned again,

" !? "

" What---??... "

" I have already told you, haven't I? Syd Barrett.About My ability. It allows me to ' Control ' the movement of the 'air' "

" What are you trying to say??!... H-Hey!! Stop bluffing around! "

" You really don't know it yet? Syd Barrett? "

Suddenly...

" Hgggggh----!!!!!! "

A Blood, A blood came out of Syd's shoulder.

" What--- What the hell--?! GUHHH !!!! "

Syd's Body was pushed off Jody by something.

Something hit Syd from the back. Something like a 'Bullet' has been shot on Syd from the back.

Syd's body flew and hit the metal bar at the edge of the roof. If there aren't something like a metal bar preventing him, Syd would actually fall down from the building.

" AAAAAA---!?! What the fuck?! "

" I told you, Syd Barrett." Jody holding herself up from the ground, " I can 'Control' the Air movement. And when i mean 'Control', I really mean it. When I trying to shoot, I did not aim at 'You' but i aimed to 'Somewhere' behind you. And then waiting for the bullets to 'Come back'."

" GUH--... Y-You ... you control the bullets to take an U turn?!" Syd cough.

" Though it takes my energy a lot to concentrate and control it. But this is the best way to get out of your dirty trap." Jody said.

( However... I can't build the ' Air wall ' big enough to lock him up Any more... my energy is running out... And i'm sure he's about to run out of steam too..) Jody thought.

" And it seems like your 'Ability' is a close range, isn't it? You need to get closer to me in order to 'swap'.... Yes?.... and looks like you can only do it by 'Touching', can't you?" Jody aimed her fingers at Syd again, but this time she kept a distance between her and Syd.

Jody shot 3 of the bullets again straight right to Syd.

A bullet did hit his shoulder again, his left arm and his upper left leg.

" AaaaaAAAAaaAAAARRRRrR -----!!!!! "

Syd moaned in pain. He sounds like he was hurt so badly.

However, this time, Those 3 spots weren't bleeding anymore.

( Hm?..) Jody noticed it. It makes Jody being careful and self aware even more.

(..Something is wrong with him! He aren't Bleeding like he used to--?? )

" What is it?... Cracker?... You look like you're confusing? Hmm~? What is it? " This time the boy grinned.

Syd tries to hold himself up from the ground.

" Y-You! Don't move!! I said don't move!! "

Jody shot another 4 bullets at Syd.

The shot directly hit Syd's body.

But there's no damage.

Syd only wavered back due to the collision forces.

" What the--?!.. My Bullet!? It didn't hit him?! "

No time for thinking, Syd starts running towards Jody's direction!

" Ek--?! He didn't take a damage from my shot?! How?! "

Jody falls back, She stepped away from him while shot another of her bullets to Syd.

But Syd this time wasn't a fixed-target anymore.

He dodges left and right like a zigzag. That's very hard to shoot at.

" S-Shit! "

Jody falls back, as Syd approaches her.

And it was that moment Jody knew why.

" A-A 'metal Bar' !!! While you're holding yourself up with a 'Metal Bar' !! You swapped your flesh with the Metal Bar ?! "

" Seems like you've finally notice it!! But it's too late!!! "

Syd picked up a paper from a ground while running, and he is heading to Jody.

" I won !! "

Syd was going to touch Jody. His hands was going to touch her. Just a little bit further, and he will definitely win.

But.

His feet hit something. It was very hard... hard as a rock.

Syd looked down but he found nothing there.

As Syd was falling, it was the same time Jody jumps over his head to Syd's initial spot.

Syd's body drops down drastically to the ground again.

With this moment. Syd automatically knows.

It's a little 'Air wall' under his knees.

Looking around, Syd found that the only thing in front of him was an exit door ,which was the way they came up here, with a block of glass in the middle.

" What the fuck?!--- I...No..My knees!! my knees hit something!!.... " The boy said,

" Y-You!!?!? You build a little 'Air wall' in front of your knees and waiting for me to run at it and fall down?! " Syd turned back to the girl and as he saw her this time, It shocks Syd.

Because now, Jody was gasping. She breaths heavily. And She looked like she was beat-up pretty badly. In fact, Jody was out of the energy because she used it to build that little 'Air wall'.

But the real reason which shocks Syd was... One side of Jody's eyes has turned white.

It's like a white peice of flesh was sticking on her eye, It looks nasty and very disgusting.

( W-What the hell?!... Ewww what?!...Wait--?! What was that!!?? her eye was like ... like A japanese ghost from grade B horor films !! ) Syd thought.

" I take your trick...and i turn it on itself...Syd Barrett...You..*gasps*... Do you really think that... I will not expect that you wouldn't run toward me again??..." Jody gasping heavily.

( Fuck....!!! The 'Disease' is starting right now??.... Shit! I must finish him... I must 'Shoot' him before my vision goes down...I must defeat him before i will be the one who get defeated...) Jody thought.

Right now, A painful headache starts to cover Jody's head. Another of Jody's eye was going to blind. Now this is Jody's only chance! The only chance she can shoot Syd Barrett before she can't see him, before the headache will take her out.

" AaAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! " Jody tried to use her last vision, aiming her finger at Syd.

( Shit !!! It is my limit now! ) Syd thought, His skins already came back to normal. His wristwatch came back to its rigid state. A silk between the pens already drops down like it used to.

( Fuck! My real skins... My real 'Flesh' has turned back! It ran out! SHIT ! If i get shot by her bullets now, there's nothing left to lower the damage! ) Syd thought.

( Fuck!!! Fuck !! Wait... Calm down! Syd Barrett... I don't care what is going on with her ... it seems like a white thing on her eyes is making her suffering!! Yes! that's it! )

Syd trying to pick up a paper that he just dropped it from a ground, but unfortunately, A paper was blown away by Jody's wind.

" Shit!!! The paper was blown away! " Syd thought but then he realized something.

Syd turned back, he touched his hand to a block of glass on the exit door.

( This is it! I'll aim for her 'eyes', Now...[I assume and believe that ] her biggest weakness is her 'eyes' ! I will swap the 'Glass' characteristics with her 'Eyes' [If i can approach her ] and will use it as a bargain to force her to accept the defeat! Or else, I'll threat her that i will break her eyes down so easily like breaking a glass! and she will be blind for the rest of her life!)

As Syd thought, He stood up and running to Jody's direction.

( Even she's somehow blind! But her bullets could hit my legs! I must be careful! ) He thought.

( Damn!! He's running towards me!!! ) Jody tried to aim her fingers at Syd, as her disease was spreading around her eyes. Her vision was almost entirely white in a second now. Her head also felt an extremely pain that she starts to lose a balance.

( Even his skins are hard as a metal Bar, But If I shot him enough, It will definitely make him bleed! Just like hammer the nail! )

Jody shot a lot of bullets out.

But It was Too late.

Syd was faster.

He approached Jody first.

He pushed his hand out, it touched Jody's eyes. and he pushed Jody down to the ground.

BAM !

Jody's body hitting the ground, However, Her shot was sharp enough that it slices off Syd's skins and makes Syd bleeds while it's passing him.

But thay doesn't matter for Syd. Because now, He has won.

" I won!!! Now Surrender and admit your defeat!! I have already swap your eyes with the glass! If you trying to do anything funny, I will break your eye------"

Sud didn't even finish his sentence. He's shocked. The same as Jody.

Because now, The girl's eyes was turned back to normal. A white flesh was somehow dissapear.

" What---?! " Syd confused. He looked down to his hand, the same side he touched the glass, He found that his hand was normal. It was his flesh.

Syd turned his face back to the block of glass on the exit door and found that the glass now has turned in to a nasty white flesh as if it was some Resident Evil Virus.

So this means The chracteristics are already swapped.

" W-Wait?!--- What the ?! A white nasty flesh on her eyes wasn't a part of her body?!?! " Syd confused even more, but a person who's confuse more than Syd Barrett was Jody Connelly.

" What the fuck??...M-My eyes!?... My eyes turn back to normal?!... H-How?! In just a second?! "

Surprised by the scenario, Jody touched her eyes in unbelievable.

" What...?... What is that..? ..."

( What ?...Just now... what just happened??... B..But... But my vision won't come back again that fast...they can't...It's impossible... )

Jody then realized something.

( S-Syd Barrett...!! That man... that man just 'Did' something to my eyes! .... )

Suddenly, Jody harshly pulled down Syd's Collar.

" Egkk---?!... What ?! T-this girl!! " Syd also shock at what happen. But He just neglected a bit, so he's temporary forgot that Jody was there.

( Shit !!! She's using that white thing to lure me?? Fuck!!! Now she's using this chance to shoot me in this face to face range?! Fucking Brat----)

Syd thought he was fooled. He thought Jody pulled his collar down so that Jody can easily attack him. However, that thought in Syd's head was destroyed instantly.

" What did you do to my eyes?!---SYD BARRETT !!!! "

" Heh?..."

Syd confused again. He thought that he will get shot, But he didn't. Instead,The mood of His Opponent,Jody conelly, in front of his face changed to the other hand.

" Tell me!!! What did you just do to my 'Eyes' ! Syd Barrett!! "

" What---?! What are you doing?! HEY! Let go of me!! " Syd pushed Jody's hand out of his collar,

" What is wrong with you?!---Hey!! Don't move! Don't even try to move any millimeters! If you do, I will break your eyes ! " Syd threated.

( What the hell is wrong with this woman?... What the fuck?!... She just trying to kill me a second ago but now she is on the other mood?? What on earth is this nonsense shit?! )

Syd didn't know what to do. Jody's reaction awfully subverted his expectation.

Syd didn't feel any wind, he can't even read Jody right now. Because he is confused. He has never deal with this kind of situation before.

(...She completely let her guards down?... What ??? Wait..I don't understand!...I don't get it...I don't understand even a little?!... She let her guards down As if she just want to stop fighting?? wait...but it could be a trap or something... I won't be careless! ) Syd thought.

" Break my eyes...You said..."

" HEY!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL YOU COME UP THIS TIME! or WHAT EVER YOU'RE GONNA PULL, I DON'T CARE. ALRIGHT?. NOW JUST DO WHAT I SAY!! " Syd yells, " DON'T MOVE! You hear that?? Don't even fucking move! ON THE GROUND! Now! "

But Jody wasn't even listen, No... She didn't even hear Syd. Because now her focus was only at his 'Ability'.

" R..Remove..." Jody glared at the exit door,she found that a white pellicle was removed there.

" Y...You... You can remove 'This' out of my eyes..."

Jody eyes widened as she slowly approached Syd Barrett.

( This man's Ability... It can remove this 'Thing' out of my body... )

" Hey! Are you even listen to me?!--- Don't-Don't come any closer or I will break your eyes! I dare you!! HEY!! "

( 2 years.... For entire 2 years since 'That day'... For a year that i have given up... T..This Ability... It can cure my eyes....)

Jody stopped. She touched her finger into her pupils. If they were a normal pupils, Jody would hurt herself already. But this was different. Because her 'Eyes' were now touchable. Jody didn't feel any pain or need to close her eyes when something touched her Pupils. And they were hard as a... no... They have a characteristics of a glass!

" Syd Barrett... Y-you swap my 'Eyes' with the 'Glass' ? "

" Shut the fuck up! and On the ground! I dare you, I double dare you, you motherfucker just trying to aim your fingers at me again and i will destroy your eyes!! "

" No...Syd Barrett... I don't want to fight anymore "

" What?..." Syd gasps, " What the... wait ... what did...What did you just say??...Don't want to fight my ass! D-Don't try joking to me! Do you really think that i will believe that lie?! Hey Stay away! " Syd went panic.

( What is this???... How many times i need to confuse??? This girl...Just what the fuck is happenning?? She doesn't care about the fight anymore??... No.... A surprise attack!! Definitely! She's running out of energy, But she must have a plan B things...She must hide something and wait to launch at me! )

" No...Syd Barrett..." Jody said, " I'm not joking."

" What?!.."

" The fight... It doesn't matter anymore... Now all i care is that 'Ability' of yours..."

Jody quickly approached Syd.

" เฮ้ย! เ*ี้ยอะไรวะ?! ไอ้ฝรั่งนี่!!?! เฮ้ย ปล่อยนะเว้ย! อย่ามาจับชั้นนะ!! "

Syd swears in Thai.

{ Translate: Hey! What the fuck?!... This woman... Hey let go of me! Don't touch me! }

" Tell me about it!!! Your 'Ability', Please!! Syd Barrett!!! I need to know!!! I need to know what is it!!! " Jody screamed at Syd's face.

" Yo!!! I don't know what you are talking about! And i don't give a damn! "

Finally Syd managed himself to get away from Jody, as he tried to walk away from her, She followed him. And it made Syd went blacnk. He doesn't know what to do.

" I don't know your situation, Ma'am. But what just had happened was just a 'Coincidence' ! If you don't want to fight anymore. Then I'm done here! " Syd said.

" Coincidence??... Are you crazy?!... You really think that i will believe that ???... From what just happened?? Hey! Come back! " Jody yelled.

" Crazy??? Check yourself before you wreck yourself! The crazy one is the one who call me here to beat me up! And now you just... like this! Do you think i will fine with this??? My time is wasted for nothing coming up here with you!! " Syd shouted back.

" Fuck it, and Fuck you! Lady! "

Syd shows Jody a middle finger.

" I've done with you! and this nonsense ass shit! I hate it! Don't ever talk to me again, and don't come closer to me! "

( This is fucking nonsense! She just stop at when ever she wants and pretend like it wasn't happen?? What the fuck is this High school Manga pattern??? I hate it the most! And she's Creepy! ) Syd thought.

Syd turned back and quickly ran away.

Leaving Jody there, glaring at him.

" Syd Barrett..."

Jody bit her lips,

" I won't surrender .... That 'Ability'.... I need to know more.... "

She said.
