Zack looks outside the house and sees the large group of Eclipse members emerging from the woods. He knew that they were outnumbered and outmanned. The smart thing to do would be to retreat and think on how to get a counter attack going. He turns to Eckhart who was dragging the unconscious Mikhail to the back of the house and to the car. Zack orders the soldiers to charge out and they form a perimeter around the front of the house. The Eclipse members emerge from the woods with 2x4s and bats. Cody and the initial strike team charge forward and the two forces slam together and weapons start swinging. Cody smashes a boy in the face with his 2x4 and rushes into the house. There were a few guards but Cody eliminated them with his weapon. He rushes through the house and sees his brother helping Eckhart drag Mikhail's body out of the house. Cody looks at his brother in disgust.
"Stop it, Zack!" Zack looks at his brother and grins. Eckhart looks at Cody and smiles as well.
"Take Sankt to the car. I want to test out Sankt's student."
"Student?"
"I heard Sankt was training this punk." Cody quickly charges forward but Eckhart grabs an arm and hurls Cody off his feet and into a wall. Eckhart goes for a kick but Cody rolls away and hurls his weapon at Eckhart, who swats it away with a firm forearm strike. Cody lands a swift kick to Eckhart's chest and Eckhart stumbles back. Cody goes for another fierce kick but Eckhart catches it and slams a fist into Cody's face and Cody falls to the ground. Eckhart looks at Cody and shakes his head, "You are Sankt's 'prodigy?' How pathetic." Cody uses his leg strength to leap up and slam into Eckhart. Eckhart is caught off balance and stumbles back. Cody grabs Eckhart by the shirt and slams a few hard punches into Eckhart's face. Eckhart grabs Cody by the throat and hurls him back. Cody is shocked by Eckhart's instant power. Eckhart gets up and wipes a bit of blood from his mouth, "I didn't think you would challenge me like this." Eckhart leaps forward and slams an elbow into Cody's jaw and Cody falls to his knees. Eckhart grabs Cody's hair and slams the back of Cody's head into the hardwood floor. Cody's eyes glaze over from the impact and he loses all the strength he had. He sees Eckhart looking at him from above and Eckhart smiles, "Not good enough…come on Tank, let's go." He leaves the room as Cody just lies on the floor, concussion in full effect.
"Get out, Tank! Follow me!" Zack follows his boss to the car as the soldiers continue battle out front. Eckhart slams the door shut after throwing Mikhail into the trunk and drives off with Zack in shotgun.
After the long fight, the beaten Vypers retreated back to the woods and the Eclipse members celebrate the major victory. Cody stumbles to his feet and stumbles through the house looking for his brother and Mikhail. He sees a car speed off in a trail of dust. Cody staggers outside and tries to follow. A few Eclipse members see Cody chasing it and rush after it. Cody falls to his feet as his visions swims before his eyes. That last hit really took the life out of Cody and his fighting spirit.
Zack looks at Eckhart, who wasn't even breathing heavy after the short conflict. Zack didn't think Eckhart was that tough especially after seeing Mikhail embarrass him in front of the whole gang.
"Were you toying with Cody?"
"Of course. I have only resorted to fighting like that twice before and both times were with Sankt." As they head onto the street Zack began to get curious.
"Where will we go? That was our last hideout."
"No, we have one more. It's on the docks. None of the eclipse members know of it. It's an old abandoned two floor warehouse. We can keep Sankt there and I will have my revenge. Once Sankt is dead, we can start our counterattack." Zack nodded and let his head rest against the window. It was so hectic.
(Two days later)
The police are out searching for Mikhail and Zack Martin. Cody had the Eclipse gang looking for the few organized Vypers left and it was a huge search. Cody and Justin were always out looking for a possible area but there were no leads until two days after the attack on the Emerald Vypers main base. Cody and Justin were on their normal searches when a member of the Eclipse gang showed up.
"We found their spot, Cody. It right next to the docks. One of my boys saw the car there." Cody nods.
"Get your men to lure out the soldiers as I try to rescue Mikhail." The member nods and walks off. Cody looks at the short 14 year old Justin.
"This is gonna be very dangerous, you should stay out of it."
"No way, Cody. I ain't bailing out on him now." Cody knew how Justin would respond before even asking the question. Cody just nods his head and the two head to the battle ground.
