Dragon's Fury
Chapter 1
Mandy sat on the edge of her bed, arms crossed and sulking. Her parents had caught her setting a trap by the front door, obviously intended for their 'guest', who was currently downstairs talking to her parents. Her mother told Mandy she didn't want her anywhere near him, which suited her just fine. The only reason she would want to be near that piece of slime was if she was interrogating him.
Mandy let out a heavy sigh and walked over to the window, looking out onto the sunny world outside. A look of determination overcame her sour expression and with great care she opened the window and stepped out onto her roof. Carefully balanced on the lip of roof beneath her window she shuffled with practiced efficiency over to the adjacent wall and climbed down.
Mandy took one last look around to make sure she hadn't been spotted then bolted down the street. Her destination was clear, she wanted to see Buttercup. From what she remembered from her last visit she was supposed to be out of the chrysalis by now. Hoping to at least get way from her situation at home she ran down the street to the Utonium home.
Students packed into the gym where a large boxing ring had been set up. The coach stood in the centre awaiting the two combatants.
A hushed tone fell over the room as Spurg climbed into the ring and walked to the centre.
"All right wimp, are you gonna fight me or what", Spurg called out?
Will walked up the steps and slipped through the ropes to step into the 'sqared circle.'
The coach held out a pair of boxing gloves to each of the two boys. "Now this will be a boxing match", the coach began. "The first one knocked out or unable to fight or whoever gives up first loses. That's the rules, otherwise anything goes."
Spurg grinned, "My ginda game."
Will wore a rather indifferent expression as Spurg turned to him. "Your lucky I'm wearing gloves wimp", he boasted.
Will rolled his eyes. "Are we gonna fight Spurg or am I going to have to listen to your dwindling vocabularies?"
"All right you two", the coach said as he exited the ring. "When the bell goes fists fly!"
The two boys stared at each other, each eagerly awaiting the bell to ring. They didn't have long to wait as the coach quickly pulled the string and rang the bell.
Will was immediately on the defensive while Spurg rather expectantly moved offensively.
Spurg swung hard from every angle he could manage while Will blocked his attackes.
Billy, Blossom and Bubbles watched anxiously as Spurg swung hard and Will simply blocked them, not even trying to attack.
"Why isn't he attacking", Bubbles asked frantically?
"Maybe Spurg's stronger than he thought", Billy suggested.
Blossom shook her head. "No, Will's toying with him."
By now Spurg was getting tired, not just physically but mentally as well. "Are you gonna fight or what?"
Will blocked another blow. "Since you asked so nicely."
Spurg was sent flying backwards as Will struck him with a fast powerful uppercut. Sluggishly he got back to his feet groaning, only to be met by a right cross and a left hook. His arms hung limp unable to put up a defense as Will finished his como with a punch to the chest and another uppercut.
The entire gym gasped at how quickly the toughest fighter in the school had been taken down.
"I believe I've made my message clear Spurg."
Spurg propped himself up on his hands. "Yeah", he growled. "That I might need reinforcements."
Gasps and murmers went through the gymnasium as Spurgs gang of three stepped into the ring.
Billy looked worried as he watched Will get surrounded by Spurg's gang, each ready to tear him appart. He looked towards the coach hoping he would put a stop to this, but he was no where to be found.
"That's just typical", Billy growled. Looking back at the stiuation in the ring, determination crossed his features. He had to do something.
Angus walked through the hight schools empty hallway trying to locate his grandson. They had gotten a call less than half an hour before school ended, from the bus driver saying; he wouldn't be able to pick up the kids.
'Would have been nice to know sooner', he thought bitterly.
He had been forced to pick up Billy since it was no mystery how bad a driver Harold was and Gladys was to busy spying on Mandy's house accross the street with a pair of binoculars. She said that she had seen Mandy sneek out of her bedroom. Angus didn't blame her, 'Poor lass', he thought sadly.
When he had arrived at the school and gone to the office to find Billy they told him to look in the gym where most of the students were currently gathered.
He heard the excited shouts and screams long before he reached the gym and he wondered what was going on.
Upon entering the gym he saw that it as packed with kids which he had expected but it was the ring in the centre that caught his eye.
The crowd cheered as a brown haired boy he didn't recognize pounded Spurg whom he recognized all to well; with a quick four hit combo.
"Finally they're teaching kids something worth while!"
His enthusiasm disappeared however as Spurg's gang stepped into the ring and it's badly bruised leader got to his feet.
Spurg tried to charge into Will but he was too fast and he dodged out of the way causing Spurg to run past him into the corner post, stunning him.
The rest of Spurg's gang charged at Will but he managed to block or dodge their attacks and lunges.
Spurg turned back towards his oppontent and despite being injured he seemed more confident then ever at taking him down.
Angus's eyes widened in shock as Billy climbed up the post and performed a classic leaping body slam on Spurg, pinning him to the mat.
"Atta boy Billeh", Angus yelled proudly with a fist in the air.
Billy's attack caused a momentary distraction for Spurg's gang, leaving him an opening to attack
Fist met face as Will brought down all three guys with a single hit.
Spurg managed to knock Billy off onto the mat then tried to put him in a headlock. Billy squirmed out and elbowed Spurg in the ribs causing him to cry out due to the pain of Will's earlier hits.
An inhuman roar was heard, causing the cobatants to freeze.
Spurg grinned devilishly. "Now you're gonna get it."
The ground shook and the doors to the gym were knocked off their hinges as a massive form crouched through the doorway and stood up to it's full hight of at least ten feet.
Billy gulped, "Who's that?"
Spurg shoved Billy away. "That's my dad."
Will stared at Spurg. "You're half Ogre?"
Spurg blinked, "What?"
Spurg's dad approached the ring and broke the ropes with his bare hands prompting Spurg and his gang to exit the ring.
The Ogre smashed the ring, breaking his end and sending Will and Billy flying.
Will managed to grab on to the ropes while Billy found himself trapped in the hands of his worst enemy's father.
Billy swallowed as his capitol growled at him. "Me smach puny runt."
"No so fast ya great stoopid cave beast!"
Everyone watched as Angus ran thorugh the crowd, climbed up one of the corner posts then jumped at the massive creature that held his grandson.
Surprisingly he succeeded in toppling the the goliath and releasing Billy from his grip.
While Billy scrambled away the Ogre shoved Angus back onto the ruined ring and against the ropes on the other side.
Will joined Billy off to the side of the ring. "You okay?"
Billy nodded, "I think so."
The two boys looked up and saw Spurg and his gang approaching, but now they were armed with baseball bats and hockey sticks.
Billy swallowed, "Guess we're not done yet."
Buttercup shifted uncomfortably as Bunny and Rayza helped dry off her wings after she had gotten out of a long bath which had been more difficult than it used to be because of her new appendages.
"The baby'll be born by the time I get used to this", she grumbled.
Rayza chuckled. "Don't worry, it always takes a while. Your brain has to learn how to use all these new functions and abilities you have, you can't expect to know right away."
Butercup crossed her arms. "It'd be more convenient."
Bunny grinned. "If life were like that you wouldn't need a visa card."
Rayza groaned. "You've been spending to much time with the boys."
Buttrucp laughed and began to put her shirt on, until it became obstructed by something.
The other two girls were struggling not to laugh. "You're supposed to fold you wings before you put your shirt on", Bunny reminded her.
Buttercup sighed. 'I bet Blossom and Bubbles are having a reasonably normal day.'
Blossom and Bubbles watched Will and Billy fight off Spurg and his goons that were now armed with hockey sticks and baseball bats. The two boys had little difficulty in avoiding their attacks however.
Spurg and his gang were so injured after the first round that they were barely able to hold the makeshift weapons much less swing them with any control.
Angus meanwhile was able to use his smaller size and greater brains to hold his own against Spurg's dad.
Spurg took a weak swing at Billy but he caught the bat in mid swing and kicked Spurg in the gut, causing him to let go and clutch his stomach in pain.
Billy took the opportunity to swng his newly aquired weapon at Spurg, catching him in the side and knocking him down.
Melon Masher came up behind Billy, ready to smash him over the head with a hockey stick.
Billy sensed him coming and spun around and swung low, catching Melon Masher's leg.
The goon colapsed to the floor and cried out in pain as he clutched his bleeding leg.
Will had no trouble dealing with the other two with a strong kick to one and a punch to the face -right cross combo for the other.
Now Spurg and his gang were out of commission, moaing and groaning on the ruins of the blood soaked platform while Will and Billy stood relativly unscathed.
Angus was using fancy foot work to avoid the ogre's fists as they tried to crush him. Spurg's dad however took a bad step and almost tripped on some gym equipment.
The momentary loss of balance sealed his fate as Angus climbed up a rope on the gym wall and tackled the giant to the ground with a terrific crash as gym equipment was sent flying.
The students cheered as Angus stood victoriously on top of the giant, arms raised in triumph as a barbell landed on the Ogre's head, making a dinging sound as it knocked the goliath out cold.
"What's going on in here!"
The gym suddenly went silent as the principal entered the gym. He walked up to the ring and looked at Billy and Will. "Well?"
Billy swallowed, "Well we, uh."
"Spurg and I were having a match until he started losing and brought in his gang for back up", Will said. "Billy came in to help me out."
The principal looked out onto the sudent body. "Is this true?"
The students silently nodded, note wanting to be verbally marked as Spurg's next victim when he recovered.
The principal sighed. "Fine, everyone out!"
Quickly the student audience emptied out of the gym closely followed by the still mobile combatants.
"You were awesome grandpa", Billy exclaimed!
Angus chuckled. "That was nothin. Ya shoulda seen me in tha big fight of '78.
Bubbles and Blossom waited by the door looking at Will. "You coming home with us?"
Will nodded, "Yeah, you wanna ride?"
Blossom shook her head. "No thanks, we'll fly."
Will shrugged, "Your loss."
Blossom shook her head as Will left down the hall. Buttercup whould most likely not be happy with the events of the past while when they told her.
So here it is, the beginning of the beginning of the sequal to Parent of Circumstance. Sorry about the beif HIATUS, work and all. Anyway you hope you like.
