It was silent on the roof of the town hall...
Topher and Noah glared at each other, bats in hand as they stared each other from both sides of where they were standing. With one more sound of thunder out in the distance, the two charged at each other, screaming as they did so.
The two threw their bats aside, punching each other. Noah kept every single person that had been affected by all of this in his thoughts as he was fighting off Topher. All the while, Topher was fighting back at him.
From the beginning, when Scott ended up getting attacked by him, or Trent. Then it was Lightning, then Jo, who be tried to save. Then got rid of Alejandro, and then Trent lied about being dead this whole time. Then there's the straw that broke the camels back for Noah...
...The fact that Courtney ended up getting injured because of this guy.
Noah wasn't going to forgive Topher for doing that. No. He couldn't forgive something like that. Not after what happened to his own former crush. He didn't know if she was either dead, or passed out, but he wasn't forgiving Topher for having her involved in his plans of getting rid of all of Duncan's friends, including her. Courtney was where the line is crossed for Noah, that's for sure.
"You just had to take your entire anger out on Duncan and his friends, including his own girlfriend, did you?!" Noah asked, trying to circle around the boy. Topher rubs the side of his arm, still glaring at Noah.
"I don't care if you don't agree with my plan at all..." Topher said, glaring at him. "Me and Trent were doing the right thing...we really were...then you..." the guy points at Noah. "...As well as your nerdy little friend, your girlfriend and her foolish sister...the goth that nobody likes...you all have to get involved in what we were doing...and you just had to get involved because...you just had to..."
"Why wouldn't I get involved? You probably should've killed Scott away from my house...don't you think?" Noah kept his glare onto him, holding the side of his arm. "...I don't think you would've thought an entire good plan knowing that I was living right nearby that playground..."
"How the hell was I suppose to know that you lived nearby than?"
"That question was sarcastic..."
Noah straightens himself, ready to fight again. Sadly, Topher got the upper hand on this, and charged himself at Noah. The taller boy launches himself at Noah, fist balled. They rolled over to one of the two baseball bats that they had, only for it to fall off the roof.
The two then looked over to the other baseball bat on the opposite side of the roof. Then they ran for that one, ready to fight the other one with said bat. The two accidentally started slipping and sliding on the wet roof, trying to reach the bat, until Topher was able to grab a hold of it before Noah did.
"Ha ha! Now you're done for!" Topher shouts, aiming the crossbow at Noah.
"TOPHER!" A voice said from below the town hall.
Topher looks off of the roof, seeing Chris, MacArthur, Izzy, and Duncan down below. Chris seems to be holding a bullhorn as well, so it was him that shouted his name. Topher glared at the four of them.
"Put the crossbow down, now!" Chris shouts.
"NEVER!" Topher shouts, still glaring at them. Chris frowned, before looking over to the other three.
"Welp, I tried. I got never." Chris said, voice lowered.
"Topher! You have five seconds to come down here and surrender!" Izzy shouts down at the ground area. "Now will you come down here?!"
"You really think that's going to help?!" Topher screams back. "You guys are not good at this!"
"Screw you too!" Izzy shouts, before picking up a rock and throwing it into the sky. The rock hit...nothing but the ground. "Oh crap, that didn't work..."
"Yeah, So not good at this..." Topher mutters, before noticing the baseball bat in his hands are missing. "What the?!" Noah whistles for Topher's attention, holding the baseball bat that he had.
"Well, looks like you didn't last long, didn't you?" Noah asked, twirling the bat in his hands.
Without a warning, Topher launches himself at Noah, trying to get the baseball bat out of his hands as he attacked him. The two struggled to get the baseball bat out of the others grips. The two spun around and around, trying to get the bat out of the others hands.
It wasn't until Noah was sent flying straight near the edge of the roof, rolling onto his back. He looks to his left, seeing the edge of the roof from his spot, before looking to the opposite direction, seeing Topher walking over to him. Noah gulps, before attempting to stand up onto his feet. But he was failing to do so, due to the rain making the roof wet.
"See what I mean by you not going anywhere now, Noah?" Topher asked him, an angry look on his face as he walked over to him. "You need anymore ways for me to tell you this bullshit is going to get you killed?! I told you not to get your ass involved, and then you did...now it's time for you to finally die trying to defeat a guy like me."
Closing his eyes, Noah looks the other direction, ready to take whatever rage Topher had inside himself. He knew this was it for him, considering that this feels like it's really the end for his life at this point. He was trapped on the roof with this guy, and nobody's here to save him. He closed his eyes...
...Only for the sound of Topher falling off of the roof being heard...
Noah opens his eyes, before looking off the edge of the roof. He saw Topher, laying there on the ground in front of the town hall, arrow coming out of his chest. He wasn't moving, so the arrow probably ended the guy's life. With a sigh of relief, Noah looks over to the roof's door, seeing Gwen standing there with her crossbow in her hands. The goth took notice of Noah laying by the roof's side.
"Noah, are you okay?" Gwen asked, walking over to him. Noah stood up, trying to regain his balance, before looking up at the goth girl.
"Y-You know I am...I'm not hurt..." Noah said, before holding the side of his arm. "...Ow...well, not completely...but...I made it through this disaster, didn't I?" Gwen gave the boy a smirk, before nodding her head.
"You...survived pretty well, I must say, Noah.
"Damn it...I liked this vest..." Noah brushes himself off, before looking at Gwen again. "If you're here...who's watching Cody?"
"Bridgette is watching Cody. After she saved your life, she went downstairs and told me to come up here and save you if you're still alive." The goth places an arm around the boy, before they started to make their way to the door downstairs. "Thankfully, I think we're in the clear..."
"Clear? Not yet..." Trent's voice said.
The two immediately looked over to the stairwell down, seeing Trent standing there. He looked like he felt guilty about all of this actions. From Scott being killed, to what happened tonight. The two glared at the boy, as he was rubbing his arm with worry about all that has happened.
"I'm...uh...guessing you two are still pretty mad at me for...causing all of that shit days ago, huh?" Trent asked the two. Gwen and Noah both nodded their heads in unison. "I see...but...it was all for a good cause...right?" Trent laughs nervously, before Noah pulled out Gwen's crossbow, aiming it at Trent, causing him to hold up his hands in surrender. "No no no no, wait! I didn't mean to do any of this! I swear! Please don't end me!"
"Well...considering you lied to me about you being dead of all things, I feel like it's only best that you go the same route that your buddy went. Don't you think?!" Noah asked, viciously glaring at Trent still. Gwen stood by, allowing this to happen in front of herself.
"Do what you have to do, Noah." Gwen said. "...And thank you for making this decision for me. I don't think I'd trust him real easily if I was in your shoes." Noah nods his head.
"Oh believe me Gwen, I know..."
Trent closes his eyes, as Noah looks behind himself with a smirk on his face. Noah drops the crossbow onto the roof, not killing Trent right where he wants him. The boy with black hair opens his eyes, seeing that Noah wasn't going to kill him for all that he has done, which he felt was a good thing.
That was until he was hit in the head by something...that being Courtney, saving the two, by knocking Trent out with the same board Topher threw at her. Trent fell off the side of the roof, landing on the ground below. Courtney smiled, before looking at Noah. He smiled back at her, before he walked up to her.
"Thanks Courtney." Noah said.
"I had to save you, Noah." Courtney said, smiling back at her. "By the way, is Duncan alright? I saw him gone after I heard you and Gwen were up here." Noah points behind himself at the roof's edge.
"He's alive, and he's downstairs, outside, in front of the town hall, probably waiting for you to meet up with him." Courtney smiled at the shorter boy, before stepping back into the building.
"Alright, then I'll go meet up with him. Also, Noah..." Courtney looks at the guy one more time, before smiling. "Thank you, for saving our town. You really saved all of us by doing this." Noah smiled, nodding his head.
"Your welcome, Courtney." Noah and Gwen headed downstairs along with her, finally happy that Topher and Trent were finally defeated for good.
