Jack's P.O.V.

"Okay Kim, give it one more shot." I sat, cross-legged as I watched Kim do another front aerial for her cheerleading contest this weekend. We came in early at the dojo after Rudy had entered his office to have a meeting so that Kim would have enough space to practice before everyone else showed up for class.

"You almost got it." I smiled at her with reassurance. She gave a nod as she pushed some loose hair back into her messy bun.

She walked to the end of the blue mat and stood in her starting stance. She ran, jumped, and pushed off with her right leg, went high into the air, then came landing down in front of me.

Breathless after her fourth try, she came over and sat next to me as she emptied her water bottle with one long gulp. Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, she turned to look at me.

"How'd I do that time?" I smiled and put thumbs up.

"Perfect, you'll definitely win that contest." She beamed at me.

"Thanks." She said as a light blonde strand escaped and glided down to touch her shoulder. I stopped her hand before she could get the chance to tuck it back.

"What?" I looked at her, then back at her hair.

"Leave it, I like your hair when it's messy like that." She shook her head and smiled and I let go of her hand.

"You're weird." I shrugged my shoulders and laughed as I got up and walked on over to the mat.

"Maybe. But there's something I want to show you before class starts." I saw her eyes light up before she answered.

"Sure. What-" I stopped as I heard as strange noise outside.

"Wait. Kim do you hear that? It sounds like-"

"JERRY, EDDIE, AND MILTON!" Kim yelled, looking out towards the door in shock and pure anger. She ran outside and I wasn't too far behind her. But I stopped when I saw where the sound was coming from. Milton and Eddie were sprawled out on the floor, barely conscious. The first thought then entered my head. They were attacked. But by who? Where's Jerry?

I didn't have to wait long for my questions to be answered. Jerry was far off, but was now running towards the dojo but didn't get far because his attackers had cornered him, ready to do the same as they did to Milton and Eddie. Anger only boiled up inside of me as I watched who the attackers were: Arthur and his two goon friends.

Since Kim was already helping Milton and Eddie, I set off to get rid of these dirt bags. Arthur was in front about to make the first hit and his two friends trailed off behind him. It's best to take them out one by one from the back; Arthur will never see me coming that way.

I rolled up my sleeves as I walked behind the first attacker, there was no need to be quiet or sneaky because they were all so involved with Jerry. I looked at him; he looked way older than me. That doesn't matter. Your Jack, you can take anyone.

I held this thought with me as I made the first kick to the back of his knee; I smiled as he fell to the floor, yelling with pain. This made the others notice. The next attacker came raging at me with speed but I took a step back as he came in to my range, grabbed him back the arm and twisted it as he fell next to his friend, tearing with pain in his shoulder. Now the only one that was left was Arthur, I stalked toward him as he began punching Jerry in the stomach. Seeing Jerry with a bloody nose sent a whole new anger racing through my body. I grabbed Arthur by the next fist that he was going to use against Jerry and twisted it back towards his spine and turned him around long enough to see who he was now up against, and then I threw him to the floor. Jerry fell to the floor groaning in pain, but I couldn't help him just yet, I wasn't done with Arthur.

After recovering from his twisted arm, Arthur got back up again quickly taking a swing towards my jaw, but I was a mile ahead of him. I stopped his fist long enough to get a nice, clean hit towards his stomach letting him feel the same pain Jerry had, only worse cause I was stronger.

I picked him up by his collar and got ready for another hit…

"JACK! JACK STOP IT NOW!" I dropped Arthur and turned to my right only to see Arthur's FATHER come running towards flailing his arms franticly. He dropped to where Arthur laid on the floor.

"How dare you do this to my son!" he said looking at me with his brows drawn together. He then turned to Arthur with a pained look.

"Arthur? Arthur! Are you okay?"

At that very moment Rudy came running out of the dojo in our direction and following behind him was a surprised Kim and a dizzy looking Milton and Eddie. Arthur's father turned to Rudy, anger stricken all over his face.

"You! Your student did this to my boy!" the look of confusion must have been highly clear on everyone's faces because his father only got angrier.

"DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT HE DID?" Now he was yelling at the top of his lungs. Rudy looked around at everybody, including the aching bodies on the ground and me; I ducked my head before he could look me in the eye. Rudy then turned back to his father with an even more confused looked.

"No….? Do you?"

"YES I DO! Matter of fact! Him right there!" he yelled pointing at me.

Rudy was appalled. "Jack? Oh no. sir you've got it all wrong, something must have happened. Jack would never do something like this without a dignified reason. Trust me, I know Jack." Arthur's father only waved his hand in disbelief as if doing this action would make Rudy's words disappear.

"Preposterous, your karate students never liked my son! This action," he said, now pointing to his son and the others. "is self-explanatory." I decided it was time to step forward before this could get any farther.

"Look Sir, I will admit I did this, but as Rudy said I had a reason to. Your son was out here with them," I continued pointing to the goons on the floor slowly rising to their feet "harassing and beating up Eddie, Milton, and Jerry." I looked at his father's face and he didn't seem to believe me. "I'm so serious; ask Kim, she was here." I looked at Rudy for help. But instead the next voices I heard from was Jerry.

"It's true. They were just starting on me when Jack and Kim came out and saw them."

"Eddie and Milton were already out cold when we came outside to help." Kim said wrapping up.

Arthur's father thought this through he spoke.

"I still don't believe." I had a feeling he knew it was true and just didn't want to be proven wrong.

He walked over to me pointed a finger to my chest and spoke softly.

"You will pay for this… don't you worry Jackson." He dragged out my name for emphasis. Then picked up his son and dragged him away.
