Chapter 06: Challenge Me? You're gonna die…
"Heero Yuy, where are you?" The gym teacher was beginning to get amused with this.
"Right here." Heero stepped forward, not afraid of a challenge at all.
"I'm going to beat the crap out of you." Jason grinned at the thin boy.
"Right." Heero said with sarcasm. This really pissed Jason off, no one talked to him like that!
"Bring it on!" He shouted to Heero as they entered the ring, not knowing what he had brought himself into.
Chrissie looked with horror as she remembered Mr. Shevvington talking to him, 'This must be one of their plots! They are going to get rid of Heero first!'
Anya came walking into the gym wearing her uniform and she took a seat to watch the fight with interest. Chrissie sat next to her and everyone elsewhere.
Heero took a fighting stance, compared to Jason who was getting ready to just throw some punches and kicks.
"So, this kid has some training in martial arts, eh?" The gym teacher mumbled to himself. 'This is getting more interesting indeed.'
Jason threw some punches and Heero dodged them like they were cottontails being thrown at him. "Is that all you got?" Heero mocked the jock.
"No at all!" Jason said, taking up a sloppy martial artist form. Heero's was perfect. He did a double punch combo and a sidekick aimed for his right arm that still had the defensive position. It hit Jason, hard.
Heero dropped to his hands, doing a full sweep keep to send him to the floor, but he crouched instead and as Heero was about to throw the final blow into the man's stomach, he heard a scream. Diverting his attention to one of Jason's goons that was ready to attack Anya and Chrissie, but then... Jason threw a punch, landing it square in Heero's abdomen.
His eyes widened as he felt the blood run through and over Jason's fist that was still rammed in his stomach. He had reopened the cut wound and Jason grinned, unclenching his fist slightly to jab two fingers deep into the laceration. Heero's mouth would have formed a cry of pain, but he drove his fingers in deeper, tearing muscles and bringing more blood forth, leaving the injured teenager breathless as he pulled away from Heero. He fell to his knees and hands, blood pooling from his now very deep and critical wound.
Chrissie looked horrified as Heero's blood seeped through his hands trying to stop the bleeding.
She looked startled when he got to his feet and knocked the man with a surprising kick in the head, knocking him unconscious. He stood there for a minute or so before crumbling to the ground, gasping in pain between harsh and much needed breaths.
The gym teacher rushed forward to see how bad the wound was and gagged at the sight of it and saw the torn stitches, tearing the skin off from where they tied it together from.
Heero was breathing heavily as a small sweat broke on his face as he tried to control himself.
The gym teacher let him lean on the ropes for the arena while waiting for the nurse to appear with the ambulance.
"Wow!" Vicki let out an amazed breath at the excitement and all the blood. "He still beat Jason even though he was wounded!"
"And Jason is eighteen! An unbeaten until now! Heero's two years younger than him!" Gretchen said with awe.
'I could only expect that from a Gundam pilot, eh Heero?' She clapped and soon others did, still stunned with the outcome. 'A wonderful performance!'
Heero ignored the clapping, breathing heavily as other people crowded around him to try and see if they could do anything. His vision was beginning to get blurry and he felt his consciousness slipping from his grasp like the blood saturating his gym shirt, running through his fingers like water.
He took a last labored breath in his waking moment before he passed out from pain and blood loss. His wound was sure to get infected, someone jabbed their fingers into his wound, tearing muscle and hitting one of his ribs! Hell it hurt, as anything!
It was a critical wound as most suspected, and Jason was to be suspended and flunked from Gym class.
Only Mr. Shevvington had better ideas for the two teenagers...
