Chapter 4: Red on Black
Deep in downtown Station Square at an MMA club not far from the financial buildings of the city, Knuckles and Shadow were about to face off in an MMA match. The club was heavily packed. There were many people who were male and female alike. Their attire?
Knuckles was wearing green MMA gloves with red around the finger holes. He had boxing lacing tape on him, and with it his name through intitals. They were "KUNKLS". His shorts were green, with 2 red stripes. Shadow was wearing red MMA gloves with black around the fingerholes. He too had boxing lace tape on his gloves, with his initials being 'SHDW'. The 2 had no ankle guard, and they were also shirtless.
Adding things a bit further, the 2 were in a caged ring. But they didn't care about that. They were ready to fight. Knuckles and Shadow go into their fighting stance.
*DING!*
The fight began!
The 2 Mobians quickly engaged. Knuckles made the first move when he did a right jab to Shadow's body, successfully landing it, causing an "oof!" from Shadow. But Shadow made a counterattack, and did a right roundkick, but Kunckles blocked it. Next, Shadow does a few right roundkicks again to Knuckles, but the red echinda blocks the attacks with his hands. In response, he does a big uppercut to Shadow, but his opponent blocked it. Then, Shadow grabs Knuckles' right leg, but in response the red echinda kicks him in the body. In the next move by Shadow, he does a series of roundkicks to Knuckles' face, succesfully landing them. The crowd was liking the action.
"OHH!" "OHH!" "OHH!"
It wasn't long before Knuckles' nose started bleeding. Despite this, the echinda was still determined to fight. He felt quite angered at what Shadow was doing. So, he was prepped to do another attack. He did a right hook on Shadow, and it hit him!
Then after, Shadow tackles Knuckles's, and slams him along with himself to the ground.
*THUMP!*
The crowd roared in response.
Then, the 2 engage in an struggle on the floor of the ring. Shadow grabs onto Knuckles' left leg, but Knuckles does right punches to Shadow's body. The two continue in this for a while, then they get back up, in fighting position.
For a while, the fight when on and on and on. By then, Knuckles and Shadow's nose was bleeding. In fact, the fight was so brutal, Knuckles' mouth was bleeding as well, and Shadow had visible bruises on his face. Yet they still were strong on determining on who's the best. Then, the two started making their fighting stances, and started for the best they can give.
Shadow made his move by doing jabs to Knuckles body, but Knuckles blocked them. Knuckles then does a counterattack making a right roundkick to Shadow's face. Blood goes flying almost knocking him to the ground, but is still able to stand. Then, Shadow does a right roundkick to Knuckles' face, and it lands. Blood goes flying from the red echinda's face. Then, the 2 engage in a punch fight. Soon after, blood starts flying. Both of the 2's gloves are filled with blood. The crowd was roaring around them. But little did they know they were in for a shock. It would be something no one saw coming.
Shadow made a left jab punch to Knuckles, but Knuckles blocked it.
Knuckles ran to a corner of the ring, used feet to climb a bit, and made a devastating left flying round kick, hit Shadow's face. Blood and sweat was flying from Shadow, and he hit the ring floor. The crow was shocked!
*OHH!* said the shocked crowd.
Shadow was then seriously hurt. He was really bleeding. He tried to get up, but was too weak to do. His head dropped in the floor. Shadow had given up. Knuckles had won the match! Knuckles, proud of his achievement, put his right hand in the air. The crowd roared up.
*YEAH!* *WHOO!* roared the crowd. They then started chanting "Knuckles!" "Kunckles!" "Knuckles!" "Knuckles!"
But out of act of consideration, Knuckles grabbed Shadow's hand and picked him up. He then hugged. The crowd clapped.
*CLAP!* *CLAP!* CLAP!* *CLAP!* *CLAP!*
He then said something as an act of sportsmanship.
"You did great man." Knuckles said. "Those were the best moves I saw."
"Thank you for that." replied Shadow. "I have to do more better moves next time."
"It's no problem. Fighters always make mistakes." replied Knuckles.
After that little talk, the 2 walked out of the ringed cage, put their shoes on, walked upstairs outside, and an ambulance was outside. The owner had called it 911 because of Shadow's serious injuries from the fight. Paramedics put Shadow was put on a stretcher with Knuckles going along with them. Some kind people had gotten the 2's bags, and put them into the ambulance. Shortly after, the paramedics close the back ambulance doors, get to the front seat of the ambulance, and drove off into the center of Station Square for the hospital.
