Bravery

"Ready, start!"

Racle was skilled with his sword, fighting with Pjay was a walk in the park. He swung them multiple times, not giving Pjay a chance to attack.

Pjay tried to keep his distance and was shooting at Racle multiple balls of fire who in turn was smashing them away with his sword.

After going on like this for some time Racle decided to end the fight. He threw one of his sword at Pjay, causing a distraction. He then swung the other sword allowing the flames to serves as a separate attack.

Because of the distraction Pjay could not react to the next attack, so he got smacked on his chest causing him to fall to the ground.

Not wasting time, Racle quickly ran to him and pointed his sword at him.

"I surrender, you win." Pjay quickly said.

"Alright, Racle wins. Next up is....."

*Booom*

......

*Booom*

Behind Jade was two enormous alien which had just fallen from the sky causing the whole village to rumble.

"Oh no! This isn't good." Jade said to himself as his eyes started glowing.

In few seconds he cleared all his students away from the area.

The two alien; one which looked like an alligator and the other one which looked like a scorpion went in different ways.

"Tsk, this can't get any worse." Jade said as he thought of which one to deal with first. Wearing his glove he heard a voice from the other side.

"Dad" Selina shouted from a distance. "Leave the alligator-like one to me."

"Selina, what are you doing?" Jade shouted.

"My job, I guess." Selina replied.

'This won't be as easy as you think.' Jade thought to himself as he went after the scorpion-like one.

On getting to the front of the alien, Jade shot a spree of fire causing the alien to halt though it had no effect on it due to it hard exoskeleton.

The scorpion started attacking with it pincers. Jade due to his extraordinary speed was able to dodge each and every one of them until he manage to get a hold of both pincers with his hands hardened.

Realizing this, the alien used it tail to attack. Nearly hitting Jade, he had to release the pincers.

"Darn it!" Jade complained.

He took to his pace again but this time even faster, punching all-round the alien with his hands hardened and covered in flames till a crack was shown.

"Yes!" Jade exclaimed.

The scorpion screamed so loud that it could numb a person.

"Here comes the finishing blow." Jade said as he landed a clean hit on it head, crushing it to pieces. He then turned to the other one. "It your turn."

*few minutes ago*

Selina was doing pretty well with the alligator-like alien though she was only a bit faster and had not learnt the hardening skills.

She was able to deal but a little damage with her sword covered in flame.

The alien was getting more aggressive as time passes while Selina was getting slower and at last she hit her limit.

The alien smacked her on her head, sending her flying ten mitres away.

The attack caused her to start bleeding but the alien was already approaching again at a fast pace.

"Damn it!" Selina groaned as she felt the excruciating pain.

The alien threw another attack. Just at the last second the attack stopped.

Opening her eyes to know why the attack hadn't hit, Selina saw a figure holding a transparent shield. Looking around, the remaining three; Pjay, Racle and Vedry were there.

"Yeln, you guys are here." Selina said, trying to stand up.

"You're not alone Selina. So take your time and rest, leave this ugly being to us." Racle said, pulling out his dual sword.

The four of them were all battle ready.

The alien withdrew it hand from the shield and was about to smash the shield to pieces.

It threw a punch at them but before the attack could click an explosion was heard. The hand which was as hard as steel got blown away.

"Got ya!" Vedry rejoice. He was holding a remote, using it to control multiple drones. The drones were holding on to explosive object.

Once they got to the alien they'd release the object causing them to explode on contact with the alien.

"Wow! How did you create that, Vedry?" Pjay asked.

"I kinda stole the idea from my dad's work (chuckles)" Vedry replied.

"Jeez! what a crafty act." Yeln commented.

With the distraction being caused by Vedry they were all able to freely attack but their attacks won't be enough to defeat it.

Due to the previous attack that had hit, the alien hid all it weak spot and was taking in the attacks.

Not long before they ran out of energy due to the fact that they had not been training. Pjay and Yeln were breathing as hell.

"This is why I don't rely on abilit...." Vedry said but before he could finish the sentence, the drones were dropping to the floor and a notice came up on the remote // Drones have overheated/ low battery//.

"This is why I don't rely on technologies." Racle said, being the last man standing.

"Be careful Racle, go for the head." Selina shouted, standing up.

'Now that you mentioned that, it's overly protective of its head.' Racle thought as he went for the alien.

Racle was basically an ordinary boy with no outstanding powers or at least to everyone, going at this alien was a totally bad idea but he was actually burning with so much power.

The alien realizing the multiple attacks had stopped brought out its head and saw Racle running towards it.

It threw it claws from sideways towards Racle. This was death in Racle's eyes, there was no going back but at the last second a blow was landed from above.

"Dad!" Racle shouted as he fell to one knee.

Jade was just in time. Getting a clean hit on the aliens head sent it to an immediate grave.

Only at this time did they realize that some of the villagers were watching.

The army and a dark-complexioned lady wearing black hoodie coat arrived and cleared path to the field. The lady took Selina to Mrs Lillian for her to tend to her wounds.

Peter as the commander of the army walked up to Jade who was still acknowledging Racle's bravery at the front of the alien.

"I guess my students did a better job than the so called village army." Jade said, standing up to his feet.

"Your students huh. Sorry we were late, we had to gather as much weapons as we needed. The reports said we'd need extraordinary explosives to deal a formidable blow." Peter said, lifting Racle off the ground. "Your son is brave, I'll give him that but that could have been his grave."

"Like you are one to comment." Jade said as he walked away.

"Anything you realize during the fight?"Peter asked. Jade stopped and answered... "Though they can be overly protective of it but with our current resolve, a clean hit on their head would do."

"Thanks and thanks for the help though." Peter said.

"I was only doing my job." Jade replied and walked away with Racle.

"Jade, Visgard had decided to called them the 'skimals'." Peter informed.

"Whatever."

Turning to the monster. "So it's our turn huh." Peter commented.
