My Honor

There was silence in the room for a moment as everyone turned to look at the Novis who had just entered the room. Everyone was too focused on Dan in the middle and didn't hear Novis and Ashley running down the hallway.

As soon as Novis saw Dan being held down by someone, without thinking he charged in and whacked the man on the head. Novis's hands were shaking but not from fear, it was anger. Novis looked and could see Scarlett tied up and Dan beaten to the point where he was almost unrecognisable.

The group of men in the room started to laugh.

"When did this building turn into a school ground, what's with all these school kids around here," Rob asked.

Everyone stood there and was unresponsive.

"What the hell are you guys standing around for! Get them!"

The men charged at Novis together but Novis didn't move or run away.

"George, Arthur, remember what I said outside, well forget about it, because I want to hurt these guys with my own two hands."

George and Arthur had gone through similar things in their past life before, they knew the rage inside of Novis.

"Go get them boy!" George said.

Then without thinking about it, Novis whacked the man's face closest to him with his iron pipe. Teeth and blood scattered across the room as the man fell to the ground.

Another man close to Novis was coming at him from behind but Novis wasn't worried for he had a trusted partner.

"Ahhh!" Ashley shouted as she hit the man on the head.

"1, 2, 3, Dodge!" Ashley said again as she hit the man three times on the head, before jumping back and attacking the next person.

The two of them were unstoppable. The men were just street thugs and had never fought against fighters such as these. The problem when fighting in a group was even with greater numbers, at most 3 people could attack you at the same time. Otherwise, you would just end up getting in the way of each other.

Ashley and Novis were giving good back up to each other so they didn't end up getting a scratch on them. Dan not only had no weapons when he fought but he was completely on his own. It was almost impossible for him to come out unscathed.

Rob was currently watching the whole thing in anger. He couldn't believe the Ruman gang was being handled by a couple of school kids. He watched his gang members get taken out one by one until eventually, there were only two people left. Rob and Tony.

Dan was passed out on the floor for a little while but the sound of groaning managed to wake him up. As he slowly opened his eyes, he could see Novis and Ashley standing there but not only that. They weren't surrounded by anybody like he was.

When he looked around Dan noticed that all the gang members had been defeated apart from Tony and Rob.

"I knew you were something special," Dan said.

Novis turned around and noticed that Dan had regained consciousness and was lifting himself off the ground.

"You just stay there Dan, I promise will get back to school soon, then we go back to playing together."

Dan smiled, he liked the thought of them going back to school and winning the tournament together but then Dan noticed that Tony was still standing. Although the fight between them was brief, Dan could tell Tony was a professional fighter.

"What are you waiting for!" Rob said as he looked at Tony. "go get them, that's what the family pays you for."

Tony then looked Rob straight in the eye and said

"If you know who I am, then you know I agreed with your boss that I have a set of rules, and one of those rules is no children."

Rob wanted to kill Tony they're and then but knew that the boss favoured him for some reason.

"Just let us go," Ashley said.

"Who do you think you are to boss me around, little girl."

Novis then stepped forward.

"Either let us go or you're next." Novis pointed his iron pipe at Rob.

They couldn't be reckless right now, because Rob was currently standing right next to Scarlett. Novis was afraid that if he tried making a move now that he would use Scarlett as a hostage so the best thing, he could think of was to intimidate him.

Rob then started laughing.

"HA, I can see the look on your faces, you guys think you've won haven't you." Rob said as he felt down his shirt. "let me tell you, there's a reason why we're gang members."

Tony noticed what Rob was doing and immediately. Tony stepped forward but as he did, he heard the clocking sound of a Gun. The gun was now right in his face.

"Why don't you go back to your wall, Tony?" Rob said while holding the gun at Tony's face.

Tony was a skilled fighter but there was no chance for him to go up against something like a gun. It was impossible for a human to do. Tony did as he was told and backed up back to the wall. Rob then pointed his Gun towards Ashley and Novis.

"All you guys had to do, was lose the goddam game and all of this would have been over!"

"Game! You did all this because of a game!" Novis shouted

Rob then shifted the direction of the gun directly at Novis.

"I think you forgetting who has the power right now boy."

Novis was nervous of course, anyone would be if they had a gun pointed at them. It was the first time Novis had witnessed one in person and it was pointed right at him.

"George do you remember when we talked about guns and dragons."

"Is what this man is holding, the gun you speak off?"

"Well, I think this might be the time we find out about whether guns or dragons are stronger."
