Eric and Hunter stared in disbelief. "Dude… is that the douche surfer guy from the US?" Eric asked.
"Y-Yeah, I can't believe even in Japan we can't get away form him." Hunter said with a sigh. Eric and Hunter stood in line. Right in front of Eric and Hunter in line was a tall, muscular, blonde surfer. He turned around and saw Eric and Hunter, he grinned when he saw them.
"Hello there nerd, I see you brought your bodyguard with you." The surfer said while looking at Hunter.
"Bodyguard? I ain't no bodyguard." Eric said.
"Really? So I can beat the crap out of him and you won't attack me?" The surfer asked.
"Try it." Eric said smirking. The surfer went to go punch Hunter, but Hunter dodged and Eric elbowed the surfer in the side.
"Ah! I thought you wasn't a bodyguard." The surfer said.
"I'm not, I'm just his cousin." Eric said with a dark smile.
"And I haven't forgot what you did to me Darrel." Hunter said.
"Yeah yeah, I beat you. But I haven't messed with you." Darrel said as he pointed to Eric.
"you're right, you're Hunter's problem. But thing is I already don't like you. Hunter told me all about you." Eric said.
"Next three people in line come grab a board please." The lifeguard said.
"Well it seems like the three of us will be surfing together." Darrel said with a laugh. Darrel, Eric, and Hunter went and grabbed a surfboard and got in the water.
"Starting the waves." The lifeguard said. All three of them started surfing.
'They're pretty good, I think it's time I take them out.' Darrel thought. Darrel started surfing close to Eric. Eric grinned as Darrel got closer to him.
"If you think you can make me wipe out by using cheap tricks you might as well go ahead and leave now." Eric said.
"I would never try something like that." Darrel said with a fake smile.
"Well I hope not, because I'm about to be wide open." Eric said. Eric put his hands on the board and lifted his feet off the board and into the air.
'He is really surfing with a handstand? And he is wide open!' Darrel thought as he quickly surfed in front of Eric, creating ripples in the water. Eric gripped the sides of his board and pulled it into the air with him and started spinning and twirling in the air. Eric put his feet back on the board and landed back on the water and continued surfing like nothing happened.
"I told you, won't work." Eric said. Darrel was speechless. Hunter surfed close to Eric.
"Nice one, you left him searching for words." Hunter said.
"Good, maybe the next words he'll find won't be douchey." Eric said as him and Hunter got to the end of the ride. "Well after that I'm gonna go hit some rides." Eric said.
"I'll go join Silica." Hunter said as he left. Eric started walking towards a water slide. Eric heard someone running towards him and ducked in time to see someone try to punch him. Eric moved to the side and got ready, he saw Darrel.
"If I can't beat you in surfing I'll just beat the pulp out of you." Darrel said as lifeguards started to gather.
"If you think you can best me in hand to hand then come at me." Eric said. Darrel ran at Eric. The lifeguards started yelling stop but Eric put his hand up signaling them to hush. Darrel kept punching at Eric but Eric always dodged.
"Stop dodging you chicken!" Darrel yelled as he punched at Eric. Eric caught his fist and grinned.
"Ok, I'll fight back." Eric said as he punched Darrel in the chest and let go of his fist and kicked him and he fell on his back. Darrel got up slowly. "Alright, come take him away." Eric said. Two lifeguards came and grabbed Darrel, but he ripped his arms from their hold and ran at Eric.
"I'm going to get you for this!" Darrel yelled as he started punching and kicking at Eric.
'Crap, this ground is wet and slippery, if I keep dodging I'm gonna fall.' Eric thought as he flicked Darrel's head and made him back up. Hunter, Silica, and Sinon came up behind Eric.
"We heard yelling, What's going on?" Hunter asked.
"Darrel thinks he can take me on." Eric replied.
"Be careful." Sinon said.
"I'm going to be just fine." Eric said as he started walking towards Darrel.
"I'll trash you if it's the last thing I do!" Darrel yelled as he ran at Eric. Eric went to go move but he stepped on a real bad slippery spot and slipped a little but managed to keep his footing, but since he was distracted Darrel was able to punch Eric square in the face. Eric stumbled back as Darrel laughed.
"You know, if you were smart you would have kept attacking." Eric said.
"No way…" Darrel said as he noticed Eric's face looked just fine, not even a scratch. Sinon went between Eric and Darrel.
"Stop it, just give yourself up to the lifeguards." Sinon said as she pointed at Darrel. Darrel started trying to walk past Sinon but she kept blocking him. "Stop fighting, Eric is to strong for you." Sinon said.
"She's right, I'd listen to her." Eric said.
"Out of my way!" Darrel yelled as he pushed Sinon back, she started to slip and fall. Eric grabbed her and made sure she was fine.
"Thanks Eric." Sinon said.
"Go stand with the others." Eric said. Sinon walked over to Silica and Hunter. "Now you've gone to far." Eric said as Darrel neared him.
"Whatever." Darrel said as he punched at Eric. Eric caught the fist and pulled Darrel close to him. Eric placed his hand on Darrel's back and pushed him onto the ground. Darrel hopped up just to have Eric punch him in the nose knocking him back to the ground. "I-I think you broke my nose!" Darrel yelled as he clenched his nose that was now bleeding.
"Good." Eric said. "Take him away before I do a lot worse." Eric said looking at a lifeguard. A few lifeguards grabbed Darrel and pulled him away.
"You ok Eric?" Sinon asked.
"No, he got my body ready for a fight, but in the end he wasn't even a warm up." Eric said. "But nothing be done about that, I'm gonna go hit some slides." Eric said as started walking, Sinon followed him. "You coming with me?" Eric asked.
"Yup, gotta make sure you don't get into trouble." Sinon replied smiling. Eric smirked. Eric and Sinon got to a water slide, this water slide had the slide covered in a tube so when you slide down it would be pure black. The line was short so after only a few minutes It was Eric's turn.
"Alright man, lay back and keep your arms crossed on your chest." The lifeguard said.
"Right." Eric said as he laid back and crossed his arms. The lifeguard pushed Eric down the slide. 'Whoa this thing is really dark, like I thought there would be some light but no.' Eric thought as he was sliding really fast. Eric saw a faint light growing bigger. 'Oh wait there's the light.' Eric thought. Eric slid right out the tube and landed in a pool, Eric poked his head out the water. "That was awesome." Eric said as he got out the pool and waited for Sinon. After a minute Sinon came out the slide and landed in the pool, she got out and walked over to Eric.
"That was super cool." Sinon said.
"yeah, what you wanna do next?" Eric asked.
"The tube slide." Sinon replied. Eric and Sinon started making their way to the tube slide and along the way Hunter and Silica joined them.
"Hey wanna do a team float?" Hunter asked Eric as the four of them made it over to the tube slide. Sinon grabbed Eric's arm.
"Sorry he's taken right now." Sinon said as she grabbed a team float. Eric and Sinon got in line. Even thought they couldn't see his face Hunter and Silica knew Eric was smiling.
"You wanna get a team float?" Hunter asked Silica.
"Sure." Silica replied as they grabbed the last team float, they got in line behind Eric and Sinon. After a while it was Eric and Sinon's turn. They sat on the float and slid down. Afterwards Hunter and Silica slid down, everyone met up at the lockers.
"Well it sucks that the others couldn't join us." Kirito said.
"Well I guess this could be counted as a triple date then." Eric said.
"You're right." Kirito said.
"Well it was fun but it's already 3:43, we should leave." Hunter said. Hunter and Silica grabbed their stuff and left. Sinon tapped Eric on his arm.
"Hm?" Eric asked as he looked at her.
"Wanna go to the lazy river for a few minutes before we go?" Sinon asked.
"Hey Kirito, mind if we stay a couple more minutes?" Eric asked.
"Sure, me and Asuna we be at the giftshop and tables." Kirito said as him and Asuna walked towards the giftshop. Eric and Sinon made their way to the lazy river, they grabbed the floats and got in.
"There's like no one else on the lazy river right now." Sinon said as she looked around.
"That just means I don't have to worry about little kids bumping my float." Eric said with a sigh as he closed his eyes.
"You can't talk, you also bumped into people." Sinon said.
"Tch… they probably deserved it or something." Eric said in a defeated tone. Sinon giggled, Eric smiled. They floated for a couple of minutes.
"Ok, I think we should go, don't want to keep the others waiting." Sinon said.
"Ok." Eric said. Eric and Sinon met up with Kirito and Asuna and they grabbed their stuff and got into Eric's firebird. "Alright I'll drop ya'll back off at your house." Eric said as he looked at Kirito.
"Right, thanks." Kirito said. Eric dropped Kirito and Asuna off and headed home, once there Eric unlocked the door and Eric and Sinon noticed that Jimmy and Jason was gone.
"Their hotel must be done bug spraying." Eric said as he shut the door.
"Yeah." Sinon said as she sat on the couch.
"I'm gonna go change, I'll be back." Eric said as he walked upstairs. Sinon got out her phone and started playing some apps. Eric came back downstairs wearing a T-shirt and shorts. "I'm going to the gym." Eric said as he grabbed the car keys.
"Can I come?" Sinon asked.
"… I guess." Eric replied.
"Don't worry I won't make you stop a match this time." Sinon said as she ran upstairs. Eric waited for her and she came down wearing a T-shirt and shorts.
"Let's go." Eric said. Eric drove to the gym and Eric and Sinon went inside.
"Eric, hey man." Mac said as he walked up to Eric.
"Sup." Eric said as him and Mac did a high-five. "I'm here for a good fight." Eric said.
"Well if you want a tough challenge, that Kcuhc Sirron fellow is here." Mac said.
"Where?" Eric asked.
"At the benches." Mac replied. Eric ran off, a few minutes him and Kcuhc came back.
"I'll be back I gotta go to my locker." Eric said as he went to the locker room. Eric came back with his water.
"Ready for our match?" Kcuhc asked.
"Yeah." Eric said. Eric and Kcuhc got in the ring and started fighting.
"I have a question." Sinon said.
"What is it little lady?" Mac asked.
"Who do you think will win this fight?" Sinon asked.
"Well If Eric takes it seriously he will most likely win, but he ain't taking it seriously yet." Mac said.
"How do you know if he holds back or not?" Sinon asked.
"Me and Eric have talked quite a bit and I've learned a few things about him, like you know you're done for if he takes his shirt off, when Eric comes here he wears a specific shirt." Mac said.
"I noticed it looks the same as the one he wore last time we wear here, why's that one special?" Sinon asked.
"It is a weighted shirt, it slows him down." Mac answered.
"Oh." Sinon said as she watched the match unfold.
"You know what Kcuhc." Eric said.
"What?" Kcuhc asked.
"I'm going to finish this real quick." Eric said as he took off his shirt and tossed it on the ground, it made a thud.
"Whoa I heard that thud from here, how heavy is that shirt?" Sinon asked.
"Eric says it's about 15 pounds, that's why he only wears it here." Mac said.
"Even if he only wears it here the strain that must put on his body." Sinon said. Mac just nodded.
"So it's weighted huh?" Kcuhc asked.
"Yeah." Eric said. Eric ran at Kcuhc.
'He's way faster than last time, is that shirt really that heavy?' Kcuhc thought as he had to block a barrage of fists. Eric did a sharp kick upwards hitting Kcuhc's chin and sending him towards the other side of the ring. A little blood was on the ring floor. Kcuhc rubbed the blood off his chin and stood up. "That was quite a powerful hit." Kcuhc said as he moved towards Eric slowly.
"That was a warning, give up now or I might hurt you very bad." Eric said.
"Nope." Kcuhc said.
"So the fun way it is." Eric said smirking. Eric ran at Kcuhc. Eric dodged Kcuhc's kick and move to his side. "Bang!" Eric yelled as he jabbed Kcuhc in the side with his elbow. Kcuhc grunted and started to step to the side but Eric was already behind him. "Bang!" Eric yelled as he slammed his fist into Kcuhc's back. Kcuhc stumbled forward.
"Eric's doing it." Mac said.
"Doing what?" Sinon asked.
"His 16 shot technique, it's a ridiculous name but still." Mac replied.
"That sounds like something Eric would name it, what's it do?" Sinon asked.
"Well Eric yelled Bang and strikes his opponent with very powerful, very quick, attacks. He does that 15 times, but for the last one he always does the same thing." Mac said.
"What?" Sinon asked.
"You're see, he's at his 10th bang now." Mac said. Sinon looked back at the match. Eric was still moving just as fast, while Kcuhc looked like he was having a hard time standing.
"Bang!" Eric yelled as he pounded Kcuhc's chest with his knee. After a total of 15 bangs it was time. Kcuhc was coughing up some blood, Eric was standing in front of him. "Bang." Eric said calmly as he walked towards Kcuhc.
'He's hit me in my joints a few times, I'm hardly able to stand much less dodge.' Kcuhc thought as Eric stood right in front of him. Eric grabbed Kcuhc's arm and used all his strength to throw Kcuhc into the air. Eric grabbed Kcuhc's leg from midair, Eric slammed Kcuhc down on the floor. "I-I give up." Kcuhc said between pained breathes. Eric picked up his shirt and put it back on and hopped out the ring.
"You ok?" Sinon asked.
"Just fine." Eric replied.
"Well done." Mac said.
"Thanks." Eric said.
