Time

Dick leads me behind the gymnasium. Its nice out and I can see the PE teacher and his class outside but he doesn't notice us. The bell rang a minute ago so everyone's in class, well except us. He turns into the shadow of the building, a spot nearly 10 feet wide with the gymnasium to the right and 10 foot tall stone fence on the other. I don't know why the school needed a large stone fence on its perimeter but the punks don't seem to complain, often using this place as a hideaway.

"So..." Dick starts pausing to turn around after we walked halfway down the path. "Why were you and Myla so chatty this morning?"

"Really. You brought me all the way out here, because of this." I groan and notice two of Dicks friends walk out from the other side of the path. A quick look at my stealth indicator shows that there must be three more behind me.

"Don't use that tone with me bitch, I told you to stay away from her! This is your own fault for not listening." He reaches behind his back and pulls out a small foot long pipe. "Oh but if you'd rather, you can get on your knee's and apologize. I might let you go with only a couple bruises. And if you think about running my boys here will break you legs, also don't worry about getting a concussion, I'm getting those recorded, for the memories!" I turn around and see a scrawny guy holding a video camera, grinning and standing next to Dicks other boys. I turn back to Dick and sigh. After Falvo and the rats I don't have any fear for this guy. I put my hand out, point to the ground and smile ready to kick some ass.

"Why don't you kneel and beg, otherwise your boys will get to watch me crush your balls." I say this with such confidence that I see his two pals behind him step back a bit. Dick just starts to laugh.

"Oh I'm gonna enjoy this!" He starts to rush me. I easily dodge his first swing and start thinking to myself. He's so slow, its like one of those scenes from movies. Its probably from all I've done recently. My thoughts drift to Asami. Damn, what did I do to deserve her. She's great. I'm glad I got these abilities, or powers. She was so happy in my Domain... I need to get stronger so I can change things. Change things? Why did I think of that? My thoughts are interrupted by Dick whos screaming. I realize I've been dodging his attacks on auto-pilot this whole time. I smile as I see him start getting tired.

"What's wrong Dick? Running out of energy already?" I taunt him by jumping side to side with my hands up trying to impersonate a boxer. He just shouts and starts attacking again. This time, after I dodge his first attack I hit him square in the jaw.

-29 Dmg

He recoils, shocked that the punch hurt about twice as much as the one a few days ago. He whistles and his buddies, aside from the one with the camera, starts walking toward us. I can't help but smile further and thinking about how this is going to be good experience for later. I suddenly see an image in my mind of someone swinging a chain at my head from behind and knocking me out. I quickly duck just in time to see it pass over my head. I swing my left elbow into his chest.

-29 Dmg

I see him double over in pain. I step back, avoiding his friends punch and hit him in the face. For another 29 damage. He recoils and I hit him again, this time on his shoulder. He falls to the ground and after a quick Observe I see he's at 32 of 90 HP. I turn back around to look at Dick and his two friends who are staring at me shocked. I smile and reach out pointing at the ground in front of me.

"Well Dick, this is your last chance. Come beg for forgiveness." I see him flinch and slowly turn red with anger. He grunts before charging me again. I'm about to dodge when I get an idea thst I know will piss him off. I let his pipe hit my arm and slide of as I punch him in his face.

-37 Dmg

-29 Dmg

I see him raise the pipe above his head and grip it with both hands.

-45 Dmg

I use Counter Strike and punch him back.

-57 Dmg

Dick falls on his back and the two behind him collapse. I use Observe on Dick to check out his HP. I nearly scream when I see its at 10 out of 125. I suddenly get an idea. I reach down and cast Theft on Dick before looking at the two others and telling them.

"Tell this loser to stop stalking me and Myla. Also if he tries any shit with me again ill break his arm." The two start nodding and I turn around. I grab the camera off the floor, apparently the camera gut dropped it and fled during the fight. I notice several new notifications and open it up, storing the camera in my inventory.
