Colt stared at the scene before him with nothing left to do. Craig inched the knife he was wielding toward Max's nose and Colt couldn't escape the grip of the big guy holding him down. Just as he thought all was lost, a leg came from around the corner and kicked the knife out of Craig's hand. A loud "thunk" sound was heard as its sharp edge stuck perfectly into the ceiling with force.
"Yes," Colt thought, "Rocky must have come to break things up!"
Staring at the weapon vibrating in the ceiling from the massive kick it had been subjected to, he looked down upon the individual who had joined the fight and his face lit up with shock when he didn't see his brother. The guy had brown hair falling over his eyes, and he was wearing a denim jacket and black pants. Colt couldn't shake the fact that the guy looked so familiar to him.
"You think it's cool to pick on my little cousin?" The new guy said.
"Who the hell are you? Freddy Mercury?" Craig yelled back.
"Heh. Better. I'm Seth Miller!" The stranger yelled.
"Seth?"
Colt knew he looked familiar! He realized that this was the same guy that he had pissed off in the bar earlier that week.
"Great, this jerk is going to get his ass kicked…" he complained out loud, while dropping the back of his head onto the floor of the arcade in exasperation.
"What'd you say, douche?" Dice scowled at him from above while leaning harder into Colt to prevent him from moving.
"Nothing, just…this should be interesting…"
Seth turned to the right of Craig to face his henchman. With a swift movement he punched Dingleberry right in the nose, causing him to reel back and hold his nose, as it started bleeding. While Craig was busy being surprised, the new hero sprung at Dice with a rapid front flip and kicked him on the back of the head, causing the bully to fall over with his eyes rolling into the back of his head.
"Think its funny, picking on losers worse than yourself?"
"Hey!" Colt Exclaimed.
Witnessing what just happened, Dingleberry stomped towards Seth to stop him. He went to grab him, but with a flash of hand movements he slapped his attacker's hands away to prevent being captured.
Frustrated, Dingleberry again approached Seth – but immediately slipped and did a half gainer. The brutish bully stayed suspended, wide-eyed in the air for a moment before falling directly on his head, and after groaning in pain, he slumped on the ground.
"What was that?" Colt thought. He looked closer. Seth had been looking for an advantage and had scooped up some quarters nearby on the ground when no one was looking and threw them on the ground in front of Dingleberry. That's what he had slipped on! Something is odd about this guy. This style is way too familiar.
Craig looked at the scene in dismay with blood dripping down his nose – his two henchmen had been completely incapacitated in a moment. Fear struck his face and he desperately looked around for an out. Turning to his right, he saw a break in the crowd and immediately tried to go for it.
"Fuck you!" Craig shouted while pocketing his knife and shoving Max from his arms towards Seth. Seth quickly sprang into action by pushing Max to the side and grabbing a fire extinguisher from the wall to his right and flinging it at the retreating attacker, hitting him squarely in the back.
"Ahhh!" Craig shouted as he fell onto his face. The crowd erupted in laughter.
"Seth walked up to Craig, who was now on his hands, trying to get up but was slipping due to the blood on his hands. "Man, your whole lifestyle makes you look frat," Seth disgustingly said as he picked up Craig's head by his hair, and delivered one final punch to the face, knocking the bully out.
The crowd all clapped and slowly dispersed now that the situation had been handled. Meanwhile, Seth slowly walked over to Colt.
"You okay, Donkey?" Seth asked, not even turning to Colt to affirm he was injured.
"…..Its Colt." Colt replied, cringing at being just saved from the fight.
