This is my third chapter and I hope you enjoy.

Meet The Punks

Lucy POV

I was waiting for that hotshot known as Jimmy Hopkins alone in the parking lot with my pink bike. I came here after I played a bit with Mandy about her cheerleader routines until I've found out that it was nearly 9 o'clock. So here I am waiting for almost five minutes for this 'King of the School' to show up so I could escort him to Josh. I've already told Josh about Jimmy about wanting to meet him and he told me to escort him so he could meet him himself. I then noticed someone comng up towards me and knew it was Jimmy Hopkins.

"So you decided to show, huh, Jim?" I greeted folding my arms.

"Yeah, I always arrive fashionably late. Where's Josh?" he replied sarcastically.

"He's at our hideout waiting for you, of course, but the only way to get to him is to follow me. Without me, you'll find yourself lost and couldn't our hideout even if you had a map." She stated waving a finger around.

"Whatever! Listen, Lucy, lead me to your leader before I get really angry."

"You don't intend to hurt me, are you? Remember, there are eyes around this school and if Josh hears about you hitting one of his followers, he will make sure you pay dearly." she warned.

"I know. Now, are you going to lead me to Josh or what?"

"Yes, grab the bike and follow me closely."

I watched him grab the blue bike from the garage and rode it next to her before we set out the gates. We went into and through New Coventry before we took a few twists and turns here and there. After a while, we arrived at a tall abandoned building that was located north of New Coventry as we jumped off the bikes. I saw Jimmy look at the sign hanging above us that said 'as he turned to me confused.

"You hang out at an old hospital?"

"Yep. It was abandoned long ago because of rumors of ghosts haunting the halls. Come on, Josh is waiting."

I led him inside the dark hospital through the halls until we ended up in a big room where it was even more darker.

"Where the hell are the lights in here?" Jimmy questioned trying not to fall over anything.

After a few moments, the speakers in the room started to crackle and Josh's deep voice came through.

"Welcome Jimmy Hopkins to my place. I hope you will enjoy your stay here until you get killed."

The lights flickered on to reveal us being surrounded by six Punks dressed in black long pants and purple skull shirts cracking their knuckles manically. Each of them had a weapon of choice: a baseball bat, a lead pipe, a glass bottle, a plank, and a broom. Then, one of the Punks closer to me grabbed my arm and lead me to the nearest elevator.

Jimmy POV

I'm now surrounded by six Punks and that sneaky bastard, Josh, was talking to me through a bunch of speakers! I noticed that they had damn weapons with them ready to beat me up! Well I have Lucy with me. I turned around to see her being led away by one of those Punks towards an old elevator.

"Hey! Come back here!" I shouted running towards the Punk before I slammed my fist agains his stubbled face.

The guy fell over unconsious from my blow and Lucy was released standing up from the ground.

"Fine, you could have Lucy with you, but I still want to play a game with you, Hopkins. A game I call: Survival." Josh said coolly.

"Fine, then! I could beat your stupid game anytime! What are the rules?" I answered back ready for anything he throws at me.

"Straight forward, huh? Good. For the rules, rule #1 is to survive each floor filled with possible traps, bombs, mines, and fellow Punks that will do whatever it takes to beat you down. Rule #2 is that each floor is locked with a ancient lock that could only be opened with an ancient key a Punk could be holding. Rule #3 is you could use any weapon or object you find. And Rule #4 is to don't die. That's all of the rules and I hope you don't die that easily, Jimmy Hopkins." Josh laughed escatically before the speakers shut off.

"You're dead, kid! Dead!" One of the punks shouted pounding the pipe in his hand.

"Just wait, ugly!" I threatened back smashing my fists together.

Then, all the Punks started to charge towards me and Lucy ready to beat me up. I started for the one with the lead pipe punching and dodging all of his attacks while the guy with the broom joined in and tried to kick me. I threw an Uppercut at the broom guy and did a low kick on the pipe guy. They stood back up before I began pummeling them in the face. When they fell to the floor unconsious, I turned around to see the other three Punks lying down defeated around a smirking Lucy.

"How the hell did you do that?" I questioned stepping up to her.

"Easy, I grew up with these guys and thus made me tougher. You're not the only one who lived a rough life, Jim." she replied.

I ran to that old elevator that Punk was dragging Lucy to and found out that it had no power, so it couldn't be moved.

"Damn! The elevator's down!" I cursed hearing Lucy stepping up to me.

"The elevator control box is on the top floor where Josh is. Come on, let's start the game." Lucy said grabbing a key from one of the guys and running towards the staircase.

I followed her behind as she unlocked the door with the key. We ran up the stairs till we got to the next floor which had beds aligned against the wall horizontally. We walked through the hallway looking out for any Punks that could jump on us anytime.

"How many floors are there till the top floor?"

"There's about three floors more till the top." she replied eyeing at eveything she sees.

We were in the middle of hallway until she stopped and stood back anxiously.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Watch out!" she cried pushing me to the wall while she jumped against the other wall.

A huge axe came flying out of the doorway and swung through the hallway until it smashed against the staircase door, where we came in from. They stepped away from the door and looked at the axe. I turned back to her and shouted angrily.

"What the hell is Josh trying to do?! Kill us?!"

She calmly shook her head, "No, he's trying to scare you. That's how no one bothered going to the top floor. Let's hurry and keep on our toes."

We continued going down the hallway and saw the door locked with a different lock.

"There's no Punks around, so where's the key?" I questioned frustratedly.

"It was attached to the handle on the axe. Go grab it." she said pointing towards the axe stuck in the wall.

I ran over to the other side of the room and found the ancient key hanging from the handle on a piece of string. I tore it off, ran back, unlocked the door, and opened it wide.

When we reached the next floor, we saw 16 Punks waiting for us with lead pipes in their hands all wearing a sarcastic smile. Those bastards!

"Well, well, it seemed you dodged that axe attack, huh Freckles?" One guy chuckled evilly.

"But now, you're surrounded 16 to 2, Hopkins. Give up or die!" Another guy threatened holding out his pipe.

"Yeah like I'm giving in to a pack of losers like you! Bring it!"

The Punks charged at us wielding their pipes while I went and fought 10 guys on my own! Either I was punching, kicking, or slamming them with a pipe, they all fell down done for. I see Lucy holding on her own by punching them in the face, kicking them in the groin, or slapping the hell out of them. After every one of them was defeated, I threw away the old pipe and Lucy wiped the blood off her hand with a napkin.

"Check each Punk for the key." I ordered her before I started frisking each guy for the key.

We frisked the guys until I found the key tied around the guy's neck like a necklace. I cut the string out and took the key. We went to the far side of the hallway and unlocked the door. We went to the next floor and found the entire floor covered in spikes! There was no way across without getting your feet cut open by those damn spikes!

"Great. What are we supposed to do now?"

"Easy." she said stepping up, "Jump onto those beds to get across. Follow me."

She leaped onto a mobile bed and jumped onto the next bed before she reached the locked door on the other side. She turned around and waved her hands around.

"Come on, we don't have all night to do this!"

"Yeah, whatever."

I did the same thing avoiding getting easily killed by spikes until I jumped on a small browne cabinet and Lucy called out.

"Wait. Go into the first drawer and get the key!"

I pulled open the drawer and found the ancient key lying among some old papers. I took it before I started to jump on each bed again until I reached the door. Lucy took the key from me and opened the door showing up another flight of stairs. We ran up the stairs until we came into the room with Josh Skull and two Punks standing on his side. That loser was sitting in a chair carved with drawings of skulls and stabbed hearts while the room looked like it was for operations. It had dried blood on the walls and near the drains while there were rusted tools hanging on the walls.

"So you made it?" Josh said standing up from his chair.

"Yeah, so what?"

"No one ever made it up here just to see me. You just got lucky because Lucy helped you." He stepped up to me face to face except he looked 5' 8"

"Yeah, I know. You're the supposed 'king of the school' because you beat five weak cliques and a guy with ADD, but not us. We're not weak. We are more powerful than anyone there in that lousy school. You're probably too goody-goody with your clean slate to beat us."

"What the hell? Goody-goody? I got expelled 7 times from 7 different schools!

"So? Argle, there!" He pointed to the red head Punk with stiches on his face behind him, "got expelled 15 times from schools all over before he came here. We've been through all lot and you think that you could control US because of that! Am I wrong?!"

"No, you're not and yes, I do control you. I got Crabblesnitch, my friend, Petey, the head-boy, and the rest of the cliques in the school behind my back and if you go against me, you're dead."

"If you're willing to do something, then I want you to play another game."

"Another one? I just went through those halls already!" I sighed frustratedly, "Fine, what are the rules?"

"There's only one rule and that rule is..." he trailed off.

After he said that Punks came out of the walls, ceiling, and the floor surrounding me, Josh, and Lucy in the room. Josh's smile grew as he pointed at me and dramatically said.

"To fight every one of us!"

With that, everyone started to gang up on me. I did everything I could do! I shot them with the spuds and the bottle rockets, threw marbles to make them trip, and I threw itching powder and stink bombs, but they wouldn't stop! I got 23 Punks down and 12 more to go. Soon I ran out of them and I used firecrackers on the rest of them. After I finished punching the last Punk, I was left with a grinning Josh with Lucy standing calmly behind him.

"You may have defeated them, but you'll never defeat me, Hopkins!"

He charged at me with a punch and used every dirty trick in the book just to defeat me from kicking me in the groin to pulling my shirt over my eyes. I decided that this need to end quickly and did a roundhouse kick and a 5 combo punch and he was out like a light. Loser.

"Who won?! Me! That's Who?!" I started my victory cheer until...

"No, you didn't." Lucy interrupted crossing her arms over her chest.

"What? Yes I did. Take a look at them! They're defeated! How can I not win?" I questioned pointing at the moaning losers around me.

"Because...Josh said that the rule is to defeat EVERY ONE OF US." She slowly drawled out the words.

It hit me like that hit I got from Johnny Vincent's lead pipe, I had to defeat Lucy Nightingale in order to have the Punks under my control. I couldn't do that! I don't hit girls! But Josh said that I had to defeat every Punk there is! If I don't, then the Punks will surely rebel and cause the other cliques to rebel as well. I saw her narrow her eyes at me before she held her fists out.

"Well...what are you waiting for? Make a move! Don't tell me you've gone soft on me now!"

I just stood there watching her get frustrated until she said.

"Fine. I get I have to start this myself."

She ran at me quickly and planted her kick on my face. I was lying on my back having a boot imprint on my face. I slowly stood up feeling the burning pain as she put up her fists ready for me to attack. Damn! That chick can kick!

"Alright! It's on, baby!"

I went ahead and started to kick her in the legs and punched her in the torso avoiding any critical points. She aimed for my legs as well and punched my face instead. We went on for a minute until I punched her in the stomach that sent her to the ground bruised. After she fell, Josh started to stand up again with a trickle of blood from her lip and a black eye. He went over to Lucy and picked her up by the arms gently.

"Now Skull! Since I defeated you and your wrentches all in one-shot, you're under my control and you'll play nice!" I threatened him pointing with my finger.

He scoffed arrogantly before he said, "Fine. Now get out of here, Hopkins."

He dragged himself and Lucy to the next room while the rest of the Punks lied on the floor resting. Now that I finished dealing with those Punks and getting them under my control, I started to leave and headed back to the boys' dorms.
