this story and the new characters are all mine!
Max walked forward onto the mats.
Logan managed to get close enough to see the fights properly, after ages of pushing his way through.
Hazel got up from her splits and smiled sincerely at approaching transgenic.
Cindy and Sketchy stood near Gem and Chloe at the sides, watching the events with awe.
The two transgenics stood facing each other on the mats, both looking amiable.
Alec slowly strolled to the middle of the mats and stood between the two females as a referee would in a boxing ring. He brought his water bottle up to his mouth as a microphone and bellowed with a commentator's voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, make noise for on the mats we have Max, the Curvaceous killer." at this Max broke into a grin. His voice then dropped to a deep drawl ".and Hazel, the Scarlett inferno."
The three transgenics who had fought Alec before broke into chuckles as Hazel, too, beamed. "Scarlett inferno.it's been a while since I heard that." Max heard a female voice say.
The crowd did indeed make noise. As Alec left the fighting pit, the gathered transgenics roared. The younger X6, 7, and 8s came to the front watching their teacher and leader attentively.
Hazel stood there open, much like Alec had done, as Max took a fighting stance. Max had seen Hazel fight with Alec that day on the Eastside roofs and new with what precision and rapidity the younger transgenic moved, and she was ready for it.
However, Hazel, instead decided to take a different approach with her fighting. Her kids - students - had told her that if she just relaxed then the opponent would become unnerved. Relaxing was what Hazel found most difficult when fighting, but as she stood there on the mats, seeing everyone watching, seeing her kids smiling at her, that's exactly what she did. She stood calm, hands by her sides, watching Max, smiling slightly, but not moving. The older X5 was still standing with her fists up, watching Hazel with confusion.
The kids on the front lines started to whisper to each other.
"See it works." Some of them muttered.
"Ooh, this fight gonna be interesting." Others said.
Some of them were hand signalling 'good luck's and 'told ya it'll work'.
"Well, well, Ladies and gents, it seems Scarlett inferno is using a different tactic. While she stands nonchalant, absorbing the energy and activity around her, the Curvaceous killer watches on, fear climbing." At this point Max gave Alec a murderous glare. Alec continued unfazed, "Who is going to move first? Will it be the calm, collected Scarlett inferno or the heated Curvaceous killer?"
Still neither of the two moved while the assemblage of transgenics held their breaths.
"Okay, you know what? I'm getting bored. Can one of you just hurry up and punch the other?" said Alec fidgeting impatiently.
Hazel gave him a serene look before speeding a roundhouse kick to get Max on the floor.and it worked. Max, so caught by surprise couldn't react in time to her attack. She found herself on the mat with Hazel moving backwards gracefully on the balls of her feet.
An eruption of chatter came from the younger transgenics while Alec began commentating, "Okay and it all begins. Hazel's move was good, trying to de- stabilise your opposition is exactly what you want to do as soon as possible. But I would like to say, as someone who knows how both these two transgenics fight, that leaving Max free to get up is not a good move on Hazel's side." He said the last comment pointedly at Hazel with a stern look as Hazel just shrugged and said, "I'm just giving her a little leverage. She's never fought me before."
That made Max mad. She quickly scrambled back up and went to punch Hazel twice simultaneously, but found herself locked in a way that was unfamiliar to her. After Hazel had blocked her punches she moved Max's arms into a lock that prevented her from struggling and if she did, there was a great possibility that her arms may break.
"Learned this in manticore. Surprised you don't know it." The hazel eyed transgenic whispered, following the statement with a glowing smile.
"And here I thought we were becoming less than enemies." Said Max through gritted teeth.
"It's all just good fun." Replied Hazel casually, "Now stop struggling. We just need Alec to explain the lock.then we can carry on fighting. And for that to happen you need your arms. So.stop.struggling." Max kept wriggling but soon stopped because of the ache building up in her arms.
As Hazel held their position, Alec took the opportunity to explain the hold, "People, see how Max's arms are crossed in front of her and are held securely by Hazel's arms. This hold is particularly good.because the more the person struggles, the tighter the lock becomes, until their arms are near breaking." Then turning to the two fighters he said, "Okay ladies, you may resume."
"Gee.thanks." Max muttered rolling her eyes.
Hazel abruptly let the older transgenic go but Max went steaming back at her. Powerful punches and killer kicks were sent Hazel's way, with only a few of them actually reaching their target. 'Scarlett Inferno' was moving at speeds so high that her movement actually caused the, once still, air around her to form a breeze. Everyone stood open mouthed at the sheer pace of both transgenics' movements, when only minutes ago both stood as still as statues.
Alec was at a loss at commentating on the actual moves so decided to decipher what each transgenic was trying to do. Again with the booming voice of a cage fight pundit he said, "Max's intended plan seems to be to batter and bruise Hazel as much as possible but this may not work as her own energy is used up in bucket-loads within a short time span, although, if anyone could keep this pace up it would be Max. Hazel, however, seems to be taking a more tactical and strategic road. She is using her enhanced speed to not harm her opponent but to, instead, tire her out. This is a good move, especially if fighting people you shouldn't be fighting. This move doesn't harm your foe, instead wears them out until they cannot fight any longer. With our raised stamina we can tire them senseless then run on outta the situation..you can tell whoever taught that girl to fight, knew what he was doing."
Someone in the crowd shouted out, "Of course you'd think that, you're the one who taught her."
"Oh yeah.well what can I say? I am one brilliant fighter." Said Alec unabashedly.
"Err.Mr Alec Sir.the fight's progressing." Said a small X8 boy tugging at Alec's t-shirt.
And it was indeed. Now both female transgenics were sporting the loveliest purple bruises. Alec also noted that they had shed their jackets, leaving Max in her ever-present blue tank top and tight black jeans, with Hazel's contrasting loose green t-shirt and baggy grey jog pants.
Alec looked at her oddly, "Hey, are those mine?" he yelled at his fighting friend.
"Huh, are what yours?" Hazel puffed out as she blurred from side to side.
"The clothes you're wearing." Stated Alec.
"Yeah. Needed some clothes...Josh's are too big." Replied Hazel who was still moving at a phenomenal speed.
"Well, you coulda asked me. Not like I woulda minded." He said to her.
"Now is not.really a great time.to discuss this.ow." Hazel practically yelled as she kept dodging and weaving Max but was caught with a punch onto her upper arm.
Alec kept stumm, but carried on inspecting the fighters. Hazel had even found time to tie up her long black hair in a loose bun, exposing the barcode on the back of her neck whereas it seemed Max loved the dramatic look of her hair sweeping threw the air with each of her spins.
She had also got considerably slower but was still being a trooper by trying to punch out as many attacks as she could, whereas Hazel still dodged the sloppy moves that were sent her way.
"C'mon Max. Is that all you got?" taunted Hazel, "Because I can do this for days and I'm getting considerably bored. Where's all that anger that you're so often showing? Let's make this fight more interesting."
Max grew delirious with rage at the petite transgenic's teasing, "You wanna make this interesting? We'll make this interesting." She managed to growl out.
"Lets do it." Said Hazel as she stopped dodging but just as quickly started firing her own assault.
A right hook, left jab, fake punch but instead a surprise kick in the stomach.
Max fell to the ground but leaped up within milliseconds.
"Another good tip. Fake moves. It gives you an air of volatility." With that one statement Alec shut up to watch the rest of the indefinable fight.
"Let's wrap this bitch." roared a menacing Max as she sent a series of kicks Hazel's way.
The raven-haired transgenic tried to defend herself but couldn't save her flesh from the torrent of assaults Max threw. To escape; she blurred back, away from Max and leaped at least 25ft in the air. On her journey down she positioned herself so that she could send her finishing blow.
"Yeah, let's terminate this now." She hollered as she sent a bone breaking kick from the skies.
Her kids and the transgenic nation watched as Hazel flew down from the heavens with an unbelievable finish.
A/N: I want to thank the reviewers for their praise and suggestions. Please keep on reviewing and I'll keep on writing. I know this chapter's frustrating 'cos you all want to carry on with the story, onto the love and action but it'll come soon so please keep on reading.
