Journey to Greatness Chapter 54
Terra-Man Charged at Toshio with all might, Toshio took a defensive position ready to defend himself and the villagers, Ray stood guard in front of the villagers and hoped that his friend Toshio would win his fight.
Terra-Man acted like he was throwing a left cross and Toshio went to block it but Terra-Man quickly turned his body slightly and struck Toshio in the gut with a hard right knee, knocking Toshio to the ground in pain, Terra-Man quickly mounted Toshio and elbowed him with his right elbow to Toshio's forehead, The blow caused Toshio great pain. Terra-Man quickly struck Toshio in the face with his left elbow laughing at Toshio.
The villagers looked on in horror as Terra-Man was beating on Toshio, they were all hoping the young man would overcome Terra-Man. Ray had a worried feeling in the pit of his stomach, he wanted to help Toshio, but Toshio had requested that he be allowed to fight this battle on his own and Ray was going to honor that request.
Terra-Man hit Toshio a few more times with elbows and his fists, Finally Toshio thrusted his midsection forward, throwing Terra-Man off of him, The momentum allowed Toshio to grab Terra-Man's right leg and Toshio rolled Terra-Man over quickly so that Toshio was on top of Terra-Man.
Terra-Man had his legs wrapped around Toshio even though Toshio was on top of him. Toshio recognized the position they were in from his bushido training as being in full guard. Terra-Man tried to squeeze the life out of Toshio with his legs, but Toshio quickly threw a quick right punch straight at Terra-Man's face, before Terra-Man could react the punch struck him in the face breaking his nose, causing him to release the pressure with his legs.
Terra-Man put his hands on his nose which at this point was gushing blood and he screamed
"YOU LITTLE BASTARD YOU BROKE MY NOSE". Toshio stood up as well as Terra-Man and Toshio replied coldy with a warrior's stare
"You deserve worse for what you did to my people". Terra-Man was so angry he ran straight at Toshio again, but this time Toshio swung his body very fast hitting Terra-Man in the gut with a spinning heel kick with his left leg.
Terra-Man felt the heel of Toshio's left foot hit him directly in the mid-section and it hurt him like hell. The villagers watched the fight with hope slowly growing in their hearts that Toshio would be able to win the fight.
Ray saw that Toshio took a beating from Terra-Man early on but he was impressed at how Toshio was able to take control of the fight and hold his own, it looked to Ray that Toshio might have a chance of winning the fight,. Ray would still be ready to intervene just in case things got bad and Terra-Man tried to kill Toshio, he didn't want the young man to get hurt.
Terra-Man looked at Toshio and evilly laughed saying
"This isn't over you little punk, that kick hurt but not as much as this will". Terra-Man then pulled out a knife from his pants pocket, it was a switch blade knife, he opened up the blade and held it in his hand. Toshio saw the knife and knew he had to be ready or else Terra-Man would win and claim Toshio's life.
Ray and the villagers saw the knife and the villagers cried out in fear worried that the young warrior Toshio would die. Ray than called out to his friend
"Let me help you Toshio, I don't want him killing you". Toshio shook his head and replied
"This is my fight Atom, I will take him" Ray nodded his head respecting Toshio's wishes, though he wished that Toshio would allow him to help.
Terra-Man laughed at Toshio replying
"you're a dumb little son of a bitch aren't you, you should let your friend help, but to bad, your gonna be bleeded out like a stuffed pig".
Terra-Man then started swinging the knife at Toshio, Toshio dodged but barely because Terra-Man was very fast and knew how to hold a knife. Terra man held it in his fist, while the blade stuck out the side, Toshio knew that Terra-Man was trained on how to hold a knife, so did the villagers, and so did Ray.
Terra-Man swung the knife a few times and Toshio was still dodging but barely, the night sky made it hard to see the blade, and they were on the beach and the sand affected their footing. Terra-Man tried swing the knife over head into Toshio's skull but Toshio got both hands up and grabbed Terra-Man's wrists stopping the knife from coming down into his skull.
Toshio fell to the ground using the momentum to take Terra-Man and flip him over, it was a judo throw that Toshio learned as part of his Bushido training, he used his feet to propel Terra-Man over his body, and Terra-Man landed on his back, he let go of the knife by accident and it went flying away landing on the sand away from the fight.
Terra-Man tried to stand up but Toshio quickly jumped on his back wrapping his right arm around his neck and putting his left arm over his right arm increasing the strength of the choke, Toshio had put Terra-Man in a rear naked choke, a choke hold he learned from his training.
Terra-Man felt the choke cinched in and he could not breathe at all, Toshio wrapped his legs around Terra-Man from his backside and took Terra-Man down, with his legs wrapped around Terra-Man he arched his back and fully locked the choke in, Terra-Man tried to grab at Toshio's arms but it was useless and within a few seconds Terra-Man passed out.
Toshio released the choke and stood up looking at the choked out Terra-Man and he said with a stern look
"I told you I would win". Toshio then turned around to see the happy and relieved faces of Ray and the villagers, Ray nodded his head and gave his friend a smile and a nod of approval, Toshio returned the smile and nodded his head back at Ray, they knew that Terra-Man was finally defeated.

The 4 super powered soldier stared at Clark with no emotion in their eyes, It would have been enough to make virtually anyone else afraid, But Clark was in the air staring at the 4 soldiers with determination on his face, and unwilling to backdown.
The 4 soldiers charged Clark all at once, Clark blew a massive gust of wind at the soldiers quickly blowing them back, he then fired 4 quick blasts of his solar energy at the soldiers blasting each one of them through the air. Clark knew that the fight was not over and he knew that he had to be on his guard.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw that water from the ocean was starting to rise toward him, and he saw that Lori was riding the wave, Lori quickly reached Clark and she said
"We have found a way to take those soldiers down, The computer shown that they are electronic, and we have EMP grenades to stop them". Clark was happy of the news but he was worried and he replied
"Thank you Lori, Let me have the grenades, but you have to get out of here, these guys are tough, and they mean business". Lori nodded her head and gave Clark the grenades knowing that he was worried about her safety, and she was worried about his, she didn't want him getting hurt.
Lori allowed the water to take her back down, away from the aerial battle, She was hoping that the EMP grenades would be enough to help Clark win the fight.
Clark had the grenades in his hand, He could see that the super soldiers were recovering from his last attack, they were all luckily in close proximity, and Clark knew this may be his only chance.
Clark tapped the pins on the Grenades to get them to work, He knew he only had a few seconds, so he quickly flew in between all 4 of the super soldiers, and allowed the EMP grenades to explode, and the waves from the EMP grenades hit the soldiers, causing their circuitry to go out and stop working, The soldiers started falling to the ocean water in an unconsious heap, Clark used his speed to collect all of them, abd he took them to the beach, where Lori, Ray, Toshio, and the villagers were waiting.
Clark didn't want the super soldiers to fall into the ocean, he knew it wasn't there fault that they had become what they did, and if there was a way to save them Clark wanted to try.
Clark saw a relieved Lori, a happy Ray and Toshio, and happy villagers, that were glad to have their island back, Clark than saw an unconsious Terra-Man, Clark knew that their first mission as the Justice league to free this island and stop Terra-Man was complete.
