Striking fear

Just mere seconds before you trailed behind the 3 that pulled Sarah into the alley. Your eyes adjust to the dark and you stealthily hide in the shadows as the men throws down Sarah.

One, two, three....six of them. Six!? Fuck, you're confident in your strength but going through six guys in a brawl isn't going to look good in any way. It would be a very messy skirmish....

Oh, you could perhaps take them out one by one. Yeah, like how assassins do it. Okay, the closest one is.....the 2nd guy who's in the middle.

You slowly creep up not making a single sound....you can do this right? Easy peasy. Just grab, block his mouth and....karate chop his neck?....uhhh. Fuck....

You scratch the back of your head knowing there is no sensible way you can knock them out without no one noticing.

"Tch-"

You click your tongue....then you see them all step forward and begin to grab at Sarah.

"Fuck it...."

You whisper to yourself as you stretch your arm out and crack your knuckles. It's been a hot while since you've been in a fight. If anything you need to get Sarah out of there, you don't even need to win.

With a deep breath you rush out in short strides, one step, two step, launch. You shoot out from the dark and with a readied fist just swing the hardest you can at the 2nd guy, your closest target.

CRACK!

The hit immediately drops him and the others just look at you in disbelief.

"Who the fuck are you!?"

"Holy shit- TAYLOR!"

They shout and scream, immediately dropping Sarah. You don't stop, from prior fights earlier in your life Keiko was always there backing you up. Now, you're going solo. So you need to take advantage of everything.

Before they can say another word you take a step towards the 1st guy, the next closest one and lift him up into the air with an uppercut to the chin. He clearly did not expect it nor could he react quick enough.

Finally starting to act, the 4th guy sprints forward during this and with a giant batter's swing, aims for your head. You see him coming and take a step back to let the bat find nothing but air. A loud WOOSH as it travels past your face.

The 1st guy you uppercut finally hits the ground landing on his back and doesn't move.

"FUCKER!!!"

"Who the fuck are you!?"

"Doesn't matter! KILL HIM!"

The 3rd guy beside you throws two jabs at you in which you just weave out of unaffected.

"Quick little fuck!"

The 5th guy clicks his tongue and takes off his shirt.

"C'mon bitch! Let's go!"

Your eyes flick between the four between you as they quickly run around and circle your position.

Sarah gets up, glances at you and just runs away into another alley at the opposite end.

With a quick sigh you scratch your head with a smile. Knowing that Sarah has ran off somewhere so there was no need to fight anymore.

"Alright gents, let's stop before any more of you gets hurt."

Footsteps run at you quickly, all four of them rushing at the same time. You quickly act and turn to side kick the 4th guy that's behind you knowing he's the most dangerous one holding the bat.

Your kick finds purchase as your foot launch him back a few feet in the air and he hits the ground hard. His lungs exhale air painfully as the wooden bat is let go.

Using the kick as a quick bounce you turn back around to catch the 5th guy's hay maker. A massive right hook that you stop in place, just holding it still. His eyes widen with disbelief and looks from your hand to your face.

Right as this happen the 6th guy comes in with a spartan kick right at your torso. You didn't expect it coming and it smacks your chest....

You instinctively squeeze the 5th guy's fist you're holding to brace but....you just stand there still with the 6th guy's leg on your chest up against your uniform.

"....."

"Wut?"

"OW- AH! FUCK!!!"

The 6th guy says and the 5th one screams out in pain trying to yank away his hand from your grasp.

You stand there for a second confused as the 6th guy lifts his leg and sweeps your legs. They impact and the 6th guy winces and backs off.

....huh.....that doesn't hurt. Wait....of course it doesn't, a knife couldn't even penetrate your skin. You just smirk with a shit eating grin and yank the 5th guy closer before kneeing him in the stomach. The wind gets knocked out of him as he exhales loudly and rolls to the side. You let his hand go.

"Fuck! What the hell is this guy made of!?"

The 6th guy shouts out before running in again. He grunts and throws three quick combo-ing jabs at you. With new confidence you just meet those jabs with quick little blocks that swipe them away. When he ends those three and goes for a fourth attack, you reach out to grab his collar with your left hand. He tries to resist quickly by grabbing your wrist but his attention is misplaced and you clock him in the jaw with a right hook.

His body goes limp, his head drops being knocked out cold as you hold him up by the collar. His entire weight lifted by just your arm. You're surprised by this as well with how well this fight has gone and how strong you are.

You glance back behind you and catch the 3rd guy, the last one of the bunch raise the bat up high over his head. He had taken it from the ground it seems. Without acting and just standing there you wanted to look as cool as you can, so you fight the instinct to block and the baseball bat slams into your head.

Instead of you dropping like any normal person, instead, the bat splinters into pieces as the wood breaks over you. The guy stumbles not expecting it and catches himself on his ass as he looks up at you.

You turn and cast a menacing glance down at him. He begins to shake in fear. His face is visibly sweating before he let's out a loud scream and quickly scampers off into the dark alleyway behind him. His screams echoing as he does.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

You simply watch him run off.

"....unexpected."

You say and look down at yourself. A few wood splinters stuck in your hair but other than that you're unscathed.

Little shy footsteps are heard on the concrete nearby. You look and Sarah stands there having come back.

"Umm...."

She says and looks away. Her hands twiddle around in front of her stomach nervously before she gulps.

"There you are."

You say and sigh heavily.
