Chapter 6: Rematch Of A Different Kind: Part 2
Blood. Blood was everywhere. It was all over the ground and all over both Joey and Varon. Mai screamed out Joey's name, as she witnessed his downfall.
"JOEY!!!!" She started to run out to the battle field. However, Joey gave her a glare. "STOP MAI! STAY RIGHT WHERE YA ARE!"
Mai stopped immediately, but with worry in her eyes. "Come on, Joey! Get real! That's hardly fair! You don't stand a chance unarmed against a knife!"
"Exactly." The brunette leered, cracking his knuckles menisingly. Mai stepped back. She was both angry and emotional at the same time. She shook her head wordlessly, not knowing what else to do. She anxiously turned back to the fight, where she saw Joey desperately dodging the switchblade made by the enraged fighter.
"Varon! Ya cheater! Ya agreed ta make dis a street fight!!! WHAT THE HELL DO YA DINK YA DOIN!?!?" Joey screamed as he kept dodging the knife.
"In all my years of fighting, I had never come across someone like you. I have never been hit as hard as what you have hit me with! You are truly one of a kind, Wheeler! I hate to admit this... But, I see there is no way I can beat you with out a weapon and you unarmed... And what's worse, is that your fighting for Mai!" People who came across Varon and challenged him to a fist fight, had died. Varon usually used this as his training. However, some people just seemed to think Varon was weak, and had a knack for challenging and winning. Varon was no pushover. He simply beat the people who approached him, and left their dead bodies on the ground where he killed them. But, Joey was putting up a good fight. And Frankly, that had Varon pissed.
"DAT DOESN'T MEAN YA GO AND DRAW A WEAPON ON ME!!! YOUR SUCH A FUCKING LOSER!"
"SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH! YOUR GUNNA PAY FOR EVERYTHING!!!!" And Varon meant what he said. He dove foward and rewarded Joey with his knife going right into him. It struck a deep blow across the blonde's side, leaving him to fall on one knee, and hiss in pain. He clutched his bleeding side and looked up at Varon. Varon was smiling triumphantly, and rearing back for the final thrust. He ignored Mai's cries for him to stop, and just started at her. 'She's so beautiful...'
"Varon! Please stop! I'm begging you! Please don't hurt him!!! Please....please...." Mai was hysterical. Tears were streaming down her cheeks faster then a waterfall. "I love him...." She whispered into the polluted air. Joey was unable to hear those three words, but Varon heard them clearly.
"I'm sorry, Mai. But this has to be done. I must exterminate Wheeler. I understand your feelings towards him-"
"NO YOU DON'T!!!!! YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND! AND I KNOW YOU DON'T BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T KILL HIM IF YOU DID!!!!" She cried and cried. The tears never stopped flowing down her face. If this weren't to stop soon, more tears were to come.
Varon raised his knife to Joey's throat. "Sorry this has to end like this, Wheeler. I told you to take care of Mai. And you failed. You must die."
"Varon! I said I WOULD take care of her! She left on her OWN. Dat isn't MY fault! Now, if you know what's good fer ya, drop da knife." Joey said bluntly, anger in every breath he took.
Mai couldn't take it anymore. She ran, and dove right into Varon. He was caught off guard, and that caused him to fall backwards, thus dropping the knife.
"MAI!" Joey shouted, redeeming his balance. He stood up, but miserably, fell back down on one knee.
Varon has on the ground, but awoke suddenly with a huge headache. "What the hell happened..."
Mai stoop upon him, proud. She had the knife in her slender palm, as she glared at him. Her face was streaked with grime and tears. "No more."
Joey looked at her stunned.
"No more..." She said it again. The words encountered Varon's mind greatly.
Mai's face then changed to pure anger, as she screamed. "NOW YOU WILL KNOW THE HORROR! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW! But... YOU WILL SOON!" With that, she raised the knife, getting ready to stab Varon right through his dark heart. (A/N: Geez, Mai sure has spunk, huh? xD.)
"MAI NO!"
She held back as she looked at the young man on one knee. He was in pain. More pain then anyone could imagine. He had his hand clasped tightly over his wounded side. He slowly raised his head to look at the blonde beauty. "Mai... Don't do it."
"Joey.... Please don't move-"
"Listen! I can STILL fight. I won't give up! I am NOT afraid."
Varon smirked. "I guess you never knew that fear can be a healthy thing..."
That cause Joey to stand up in rage. "DAT'S IT BUDDY, NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! I'M SICK OF HEARING YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!!!
Mai stepped back, and decided to let Joey handle Varon. "Okay... I won't interfere anymore...." She smiled at him.
Joey smiled back and nodded. "Thank you, Mai. I'll beat him." He gave her a thumbs up, as he turned back to Varon. It seemed that Varon had got up while he and Mai were talking. Joey studied his position, and planned out how to defeat him. 'Now dat he doesn't have dat switchblade anymore, we should be even. Now I stand a chance again. Boy I've never seen Varon so mad! Dis is priceless! Now if only I had a plan on how to get him from behind....'
The two of them stood their ground.
-----------------------
Yami and the group continued running towards the screams.
"Man what could those screams be!?" Tristan asked as he ran along side Serenity.
Duke glared at Tristan and shoved him as he claimed that spot next to Serenity. "IDIOT! What do you THINK it was!? It had to be Joey!"
Tristan shoved Duke back, reclaiming the spot along Serenity. "SHUT UP! I WAS JUST ASKING FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS! I KNEW IT WAS JOEY ALL ALONG! Actually... scratch that... I asked for people's opinions, NOT including yours!"
"WHY YOU-"
The fight went on between Duke and Tristan, as the group ran and ran. After about 15 minutes, Tea had, had enough of their pointless bickering.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" She ran over to them and whacked them both on the head.
Tristan and Duke both yelped in pain.
"OW! Geez what the hell was that for?!" Tristan yelled at her, rubbing the back of his head.
"OUCH! Man, Tea! Did you HAVE to hit us!?- Well...me?"
"SHUT IT DICE BOY"
"Just because I'm hotter then you doesn't mean you have to get all angry-"
"WHY YOU-"
"QUIET TRISTAN! BOTH OF YOU, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!" The brunette screamed, which caused everyone to stop in their tracks. Serenity was on the verge of tears, and Yami just stared blankly at the scene. He knew exactly what was going on.
"YOU TWO HAVE TO STOP FIGHTING! LOOK AT POOR SERENITY!!!!!" Tea screamed at them once more, with more anger in every breath she took. Serenity let the tears fall slowly. One by one they fell onto the cold pavement.
Tristan and Duke looked at each other ashamed at themselves.
"THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE FIGHTING! JOEY IS SOMEWHERE IN THE PARK, IN A HUGE AMOUNT OF TROUBLE, AND ALL YOU DO IS FIGHT OVER WHO GETS TO RUN NEXT TO SERENITY!? OR WHO IS RIGHT AND WHO IS WRONG?! ALL YOUR THINKING ABOUT ARE YOURSELVES! GEEZ GET A LIFE! YOUR BEING SO SELFISH! You wanna help Serenity? THEN HELP HER FIND HER BROTHER!!!! SHE LOVES HIM MORE THEN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!" Tea finished, proud of her speech. She was breathing hard, but knew all she had said was true. She was right.
Tristan and Duke knew that Tea had a point. But then again, it wasn't like they haven't heard her lame friendship speeches before. (A/N: Hehehe sorry Tea fans, I couldn't resist!) They wanted to impress Serenity so badly, but always failed. Well Tristan always failed according to Duke, but that's besides the point. It seemed the only way to get her attention, was to find Joey.
"Lets go!" Yami shouted, as he ran. He had taken in all of Tea's words so suddenly, and was very impressed with her loyalty to her friends.
Tea nodded, as she followed Yami. She couldn't help but feel a blush raise to her face, as she ran beside The King Of Games. There was just something about Yami, that made Tea's cheeks flare.
'Am I in love with him?'
She asked herself this many times, but was still unsure of her answer.
'I guess love is everywhere around here...' She smiled to herself, thinking of Joey and Mai. How she wondered what would happen to that relationship. She knew they had to have seen each other by now. It was impossible for them not to have!
'Kaiba was right. The park WAS a good idea to hold The Reunion. In fact, it was a good idea to hold the party in the first place! It was so funny to see Kaiba's face after Joey embarrassed him like that! And Joey and Mai might even get together if we're lucky! Oh I so hope so....'
The park was one of the most common places for love. Yep that's right. Love. Especially where Joey and Mai were concerned. Plain love. Rather powerful though. Joey and Mai shared a strong bond, and you would be blind not to see it. That bond was only to be broken by Varon. Varon? What ever happened to that guy anyway? Tea's mind was filled with questions and thoughts.
'Mai better fill me in on EVERYTHING...'
However there was one question that kept passing through her mind continuously.
'Should I tell Yami how I feel?'
This drove Tea wild.
----------------------------
Varon stood there, cuts and bruises all over his body. Joey didn't different that much. However his wounds were more severe. Varon didn't exactly get stabbed.
The brunette didn't know what to do anymore. It was clear that Mai loved Joey and that was that.
Even with his wounded, bleeding side, Joey dove foward to give Varon a good kick from behind. But Joey forgot the most important rule of street fighting. Never attack from the rear.
'SHIT! HOW COULD I FORGET!?'
Joey was lucky however. Varon didn't have enough strength to move out of the way, thus he was sent flying to the ground. His hit the pavement, as he cursed under his breath. There weren't much options left. There was only one thing for Varon to do.
'I can't win.... Joey he's.... unstoppable now... I must retreat, and come back when I'm stronger. Then I'll teach that dirty punk!'
Varon then got up from the ground, and smiled at Joey.
"You know Wheeler? Your tough, I'll give you that. But being tough doesn't mean you'll always win."
"Believe me...." He looked at Mai. "I know."
Varon didn't say anymore. He started to run. Joey and Mai were both puzzled. Joey vowed to make Varon see death if he did anything to Mai.
"HEY WHERE DO YA DINK YOUR GOING!" Joey yelled at him, but dropped back down on one knee. The pressure was too much. Too much blood lose.
Varon was still running away from the battle field. "I'LL BE BACK WHEELER! VERY SOON! WHEN I GET STRONGER, I'LL FACE YOU AGAIN! DON'T THINK THIS IS OVER, CAUSE IT'S NOT!"He then vanished into the air.
Joey didn't have any strength left to object. "You... Your a cheater, a liar, and a coward.... Come back and fight like a man..." He said weakly. Joey's vision became blurry. Mai screamed out his name, but instead of getting a reply, she witnessed the horrible site of him passing out.
He was knocked out. Out cold. Mai ran to him, and kneeled on the ground. Her face was stained with tears, as more were to come. Joey was half on her lap. The blonde had passed out, his hand had fallen away, and Mai was pressing a handkerchief against his wound to try and stop the blood loss.
"If I lose you...." She cried silently. "Please... someone... help...."
Just then, she heard footsteps. Almost like people running towards her. She shook her head and lowered her gaze, totally missing to see who it was running at her.
Yami, Tea, Tristan, Serenity, and Duke saw the scene, and stopped dead in their tracks. They had arrived just in time, to see their fallen friend.
