Chapter 27: A Promised Fight

Eader could was at home, lying on his sofa, thinking at what had happened yesterday. It was meant to be a school day but he really wanted to just stay home.

He had put on the television, hoping it would make him happy with some good news...

"A group of thugs dead-"

"Who, in the living hell, says it so happily!!"

He got mad as the story was a total juxtaposition to how the reporter said it. He got so mad that he got up and went to school.

"Its not even that bad, we only got over the stuff that I already went over, this is easy for a prestigious school," he stopped changing in his room upstairs.

What do I do?

He did not know what his pan of action was, he had practiced with Gramps but knocked out, hopefully not killed Sunny.

He got ready, hoping he would do good, "'Cause something, I bet you something bad will happen today, that's my life, my easy educations school life but not a physical one, why?"

His voice drooped down and he just collapsed onto the floor, almost unconscious.

Poof.

A silent noise could be heard in his head, 'few thugs dead' what the reporter said went over and over his head.

He got up.

***

Right in the queue, they were waiting impatiently outside. They looked very fidgety but excited, happy of the outcome.

Eader blinked.

What?

He looked surprised, baffled, he then turned around, looking for how many people there were. Not many people here, not surprising since they were at the exit which not many users are.

The place had the usual steel gate surrounding the whole wide building. It was concrete in the area, and mainly flat. Eader swished his head around and around, trying to process this.

"What are you, scared?"

He motioned his hands forward ,hoping his sword was there, it wasn't.

What?

Adam and Jennifer stood away from them, not part of the fight. Eader took another glance at the guy.

He grabbed from his bag, but hidden, making them not see, summons his sword. A girl with beaded hair snickered and spoke laughing, "is that your sword, pathetic."

He had prepared for this situation before hand, but never in a time where he would be just blipped into a fight.

Forget about it, I have to fight them.

She always had a strong stench that eight-year users annoyed him, and she used him the most, he didn't like her the most. Eader thought of great satisfaction of beating her, but he knew that was not allowed.

The two boys in front laughed, then quickly summoned their sword, a peachy juicy colour erupted from both of them. One was as red as an apple and the other was as pink as a peach.

The pink sworded fellow was overweight, but only mainly by the belly, he had more skinny arms but the guy next to him had a stronger build, muscular legs and body but arms were also weak.

He saw where Adam was with Jennifer. But he kept the concentration on his opponents, if he could not beat them he would never be able to beat Adam. His guard was up, and the red one also, but the pink did not put one up.

Must be a trap.

The girls watched getting ready for the show. The red one moved first, he was fast, incredibly fast, outstandingly fast…

For an eight-year-old. Eader could see where he was running.

What? Is this for them fast?

Eader showed no emotion to the thought. He slashed from the top but then made it turn to the side, Eader barely reacted.

Crap, I am not meant to underestimate them.

He made the X with the block, and pushed back but could not.

How strong is he?

Suddenly the peach guy came, barely hitting him, as Eader moved back, then Eader countered on peach but he took no damage from the hit, he just stood there confused.

SMACK!!

Peach only held the average-sized bland sword in one hand, so he punched him since his hand was closer. This made Eader get flung back a metre, falling on the concrete, luckily nothing started bleeding from the fall if not for the long trousers.

The girls cheered, making the beaded hair go up. Adam smiled at the thing he did, but Jennifer still stood there, with her arms crossed. People were walking through but very quickly, not wanting to be brought up in this.

Samuel was there hiding, hoping not to be seen. Eader got up and went from the apple guy. The man looked prepared for the strike so he clasped the handle with both hands. Concentrating, he went in for a strike.

They both hit each other, making the swords rickshaw but the apple sword was closer to Eader, so Eader had to manoeuvre and hit his back, but he countered, making Eader block it, and then this became a test of stamina, slashing, batting, hitting and the pride of him made the peach guy stand back.

This would have been the same for Adam and the girls. Eader lost the mini fight and got smacked by the leg. So the apple went in for the final blow and slashed for the head. Eader rolled backwards, using his arms to protect his head.

The pair of girls sighed in disappointment. Adam gave a tick from his mouth. Peach growled and red was embarrassed, it was meant to be the finishing shot.

That damn *****.

It was the peach's turn to attack. He moved, while apple stood there in disbelief, and processing what happened. He was slashing making it leave a nice trail, he was waving it around not too fast.

Eader was unprepared, and had to dodge, with each strike he increased the chance of falling and tripping. He knew that so he used the sword to block, making a perfect X, and pushing the sword down, giving him time to get a better footing.

He was proud that he stopped the flurry, but the peach used his body mass to push him back. He tried to keep his ground by smacking him. However, the belly was absorbing the hits, so he tried elsewhere but used his sword to block.

It made him press back even more, even though the guy was slow. Peach used all his strength to smash down, as he was losing his footing again. But Eader noticed and lunged away, doing a side roll. He missed and then clumsily and funnily tripped.

This made a few people watching laugh. He grunted loudly. Eader then taunted them, "are you serious, that's all you have, you tosser," he gave a grin, which looked stupid.

Just go along with it, it will hopefully work.

Sunny and Gramps were watching from a security camera that ramps had graciously hacked (his helper).

"Eader is not doing well, probably with the hopes high with the machine," he said, digressing onto the machine.

Sunny gave a look, "what happened with the baseball machine?"

"I put it on baby mode, and now he waltzed in thinking he did it properly," Gramps hit himself for doing that.

"No, you are wrong."

This puzzled Gramps, "what? What am I wrong with?"

"It was not on baby mode, it just looks like it, but it was a baby shooting the red thing, and remember when you went crazy at the end it was super hard mode," she said while still looking.

"What… Then… " Gramps looked like his light bulb lit up.

"Yep," at perfect timing, Eader was standing perfectly fine against two rotten peaches and apples on the floor.

"WHAT THA ****, IS GOIN ON HERE?!!!!
