CHAPTER 10 : SO IT BEGINS

As Jack and Alesul faced eachother once more,Tension between the two began to escalate. Jack dashed towards Alesul being the first to engage in combat swinging with a barrage of punches. However this time it was quite different, as Alesul perfectly matched each one of Jack's punches with some of his own causing them to cancel eachother out.

Jack the bloodhound : " NOT BAD KID, BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH !!! "

Jack then quickly shifted his body weight as he went lower trying to sweep Alesul from below with a swift but powerful kick. But for Alesul this much was to be expected from an opponent like Jack, as he jumped dodging the kick. Alesul then followed up with a counter of his own from up above kicking jack in the face. However Jack's experience in situations like this began to show as he managed to block it with his opposite hand just in time before the impact.

Jack the bloodhound : " Like I said…not good enough "

Alesul : " Shit …"

Jack then grabbed Alesul by the ankle and threw him across the floor, causing him to crash into wooden crates filled with all sorts of metal beams and steel pipes. As the battle between Alesul and Jack continued, Julie had her own problems to attend to; As she continued to look for Kobra throughout the massive warehouse, all while managing to continuously stay undetected. Making her way towards kobra's general area as she used the voices and conversations of the various un occupied outlaws as sense of direction.

Julie internally : " Kobra should be around here somewhere "

Random Outlaws : " Hey what do you think the boss is gonna do with that little runt once he's got the girl ? , who knows probably ship em off somewhere , who cares… I just wanna know how much I'm getting paid for this "

Julie internally : " So he really was after me again, I figured as much "

While the outlaws drank and talked away, Julie noticed the box like object covered in a long red cloth. Though unsure of herself she had a sneaking suspicion that if Kobra was around it be there. However she had no actual evidence to truly know if her hunch was accurate, That was until one of Tezca's men removed the cloth revealing the bruised and battered unconscious body that was Kobra; as he layed locked within the small metal cage .

Tezca's goon : " Let's see if the brat is still breathing, can't have the bait dying on us before the main event "

Random Outlaw : " 100 Crell says he's dead, 200 says he's still kicking, deal… any of you guys want in on this, nah I'm good, yeah same here "

The state of Kobra's health being the way it was, was something that Julie had thought about. Though actually seeing it in person was something that she was not prepared for. As her knees began buckled to the ground, she began to weep silently as she hid behind the aisles within the warehouse, blaming her self for Kobra's predicament.

Julie : " It's all my fault, it's all my fault… I'm responsible for everything. If it wasn't for me none of this would of happened to him "

Meanwhile back on Alesul's end, things weren't looking good. As Jack continued to slowly overwhelm him with his monstrous physical strength. Punch after punch, it seemed as though Alesul's attacks had little to no effect on Jack.

Jack the bloodhound : " what's the matter runt don't tell me that's all you got, because if that's the case how in the hell do you expect to become a seeker. I guess shit can only truly ever amount to Shit (chuckles )"

Alesul : " SHUT UP ! … "

Jack the bloodhound : " Oh looks like I struck a nerve "

Alesul : " YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU, THIS FIGHT RIGHT NOW… ISN'T JUST ABOUT ME… IT'S ABOUT THE OLD MAN WHO GAVE EVERYTHING HE HAD FOR YOU WHILE YOU JUST SIT HERE AND LAUGH ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S FUNNY !!! "

Alesul then dashed towards jack, picking up one of the steel pipes in the process. Alesul then launched the steel pipe towards Jack. Jack however managed to dodge the pipe with ease, But Alesul wasn't done yet. As he used the pipes presence as a diversion to reposition himself behind Jack. Allowing him to land a clean punch to the face. Moving him back several steps. After the impact Jack then touched his lip noticing that he was bleeding from it, he then spit the excess blood on the floor.

Jack the bloodhound : " Don't talk as if you know me kid, me and the old mans business have nothing to do with you "

Alesul : " I don't care… old man Hughes saved my life so if he can't come and beat some sense into you I will. Besides I was gonna kick your ass regardless "

Jack the bloodhound : " Is that so, then how about we stop playing around and end this little game of ours "

Alesul : " That's fine by me "

Jack then ripped his coat off his body tossing it aside, revealing his two poisonous gold and silver daggers as he unsheathed them both. Alesul followed jack by taking off his jacket as well. Both of them then dashed at eachother as soon as it hit the floor starting their final bout instantly.
