Previously on Dark Dragon: Obeying orders was much harder than Jack Brewer first thought it would be. He was now a member of the black dragons. With a serial manic for a sensei, Jack had no choice but to go along with it all. Having argued with his ex-girlfriend and loosing the friendship of all his friends Jack felt truly alone. Time passed and still he was forced to remain a black dragon. Having gotten a little stronger and a new reputation at school he was becoming feared by most people. That was until a new kid decided that he wasn't going to let the Black dragons bully him any more...
** New boy's name.. ** No one got Jack and Layla's uncle right. The answer was.. Brian :P Elijah was for red scorpions. The name was mentioned in chapter 10 of lover's bait. As no one got it right I'm having a poll. There are numbered names below. In a review put the number (s) of your favourite/preferred name. The one with the most votes will become the boys name. ;)
1.Jason / 2.Taylor / 3.Randy / 4.Cody / 5.Drake / 6.Leo / 7.Nick / 8.Ray / 9.Bryce / 10.Matt / 11.Jake / 12.Damien / 13.Drew / 14.Noah
Chapter Six ~ Masked man
*Jack's Pov*
The boy charged with very good speed and sent a kick to Frank. Of course Frank being Frank didn't see it coming and landed on the floor, groaning out in pain. All the Black Dragons -well four of them anyway- jumped up and started to circle the kid. I had done a little research or shall I say spying on him. He's a black belt but a first degree. He was good but the four surrounding him where second or third degrees, so this wasn't going to end well for him...
I continued to sit and watch the fight, I was so not interested in getting involved, as I had done nothing. After a few blocked attacks, one managed to get through the boys defence, sending him flying to the floor. The four Dragons smirked at him as they took a step closer. I had to grip the chair to prevent myself from helping him. If I intervened I'd be punished for it later.
"Any last words?" Frank grinned walking over to him. He threw a punch but the boy dodged it. It was quite impressive.
Suddenly the other Dragons where fighting, but not against the boy. They where fighting the... Warriors! Well Kim, Layla and Jerry anyway. Eddie and Milton where just cheering their support. I was actually surprised to see that they all have improved. Layla and Kim had their dragons down in no time and not long after that, Jerry had his down too. The boy had also managed to get one down, so only Frank remained. Frank and the boy squared off again and this time Frank landed a hit. The boy landed behind Kim, who had stood in the way.
"I don't think so!" She glared as she got into a fighting stance. Again I griped my seat so I wouldn't get up to help. This was impossible! Any minute now I was going to fight and it would be to help the warriors. Which wasn't the thing to do at the moment with Sensei Lee's recent attitude. I have been pissing him off a bit too much I think...
While Kim and Frank where busy fighting, Carson walked into the cafeteria.
He looked confused at the situation and then his glare hit me. I shrugged my shoulders and gave him a Don't ask look. He growled at me and was about to walk over to me when he realised that the fight was still on. Layla and Jerry both where busy trying to take Carson down. The boy noticed me and started to walk over. I think the whole cafeteria went quiet. I was still in my chair, not really paying any attention to the boy coming over to me. When he was meters away I sat up a little more. A cocky smirk slowly crept onto my lips when he threw a punch at me.
"You probably shouldn't of done that." I sighed catching the punch. His mouth dropped as he realised probably who I was. I took it easy on him, but lets just say one twist of his arm and he was down. Kim and the other warriors stopped fighting. Creating a awkward silence, which filled the cafeteria.
The fight was over and everyone knew that, everyone apart from Carson and Frank that is. Carson sent a kick towards a defenceless Layla and Frank did the same to Kim. I knew I had to stop them, I'd take what ever punishment later. In a flash I blocked Carson's kick with my hand and using a Kick I knocked Frank off balance. Again I watched as people's mouths dropped. Frank was so stunned that he actually fell over. I stood up correctly and pushed Carson's leg down. As soon as his feet where on the ground he tried to knee me in the stomach. I blocked it easily with a cocky grin. This was too easy. Out the corner of my eye I saw a teacher. Carson grabbed my t-shirt and pulled me closer to him so we where face to face.
"You wait until Practice Jackson!" He hissed. I kicked his stomach and he let me go.
"Don't call me Jackson!" I glared pushing him out of my way. The teacher ignored what just happened, as I walked out of the cafeteria. Funny how they really didn't mind anyone beating up the Dragons, but when the Black Dragons where bulling or fighting someone they where excluded.
I walked out of the room, around the corner, to the boys bathroom. Slamming my fist into the wall made me feel slightly better, but boy did it hurt. Seems I don't know my own strength any more...
***** Dark Dragon *****
The bell sounded and finally the knot in my stomach loosened. At least now I can get out this hell hole for another day. I hated this I really did, the way I had to act towards Kim and the others... I pushed the thoughts out of my head, I didn't need to be distracted any more than I already was. All through maths class Milton had been hissing at me, attempting to whisper something to me. I had ignored him, even throwing the letter back to him that he wanted me to read. I couldn't take ignoring my friends for much longer but I didn't want to endanger them either. I knew sooner rather then later I'd have no choice but to talk to them, for now I voted later...
I grabbed my bag and practically ran to my locker before Milton could catch me. I looked back to see the disappointment on the warriors faces as he walked over to them. I was really curious to know what they wanted, but I couldn't get caught talking with them. I threw my worthless books among with my calculator and homework into my locker. The homework wasn't due for a few days so I could sort that later on. I grabbed my skateboard -that some how always managed to fit in there- and headed out the entrance. I ignored the onlookers as I mounted by board.
I must of gotten about half way home when someone stepped into my path, not being able to stop in time, we collided with each other. He is a little taller than I am and also his body is very muscular so it was a hard impact.
"Why don't you watch where your bloody going!" I yelled getting to my feet slowly, I ignored the small pain in my side as I looked towards the Colbert. He was wearing a black dragon's Gi but his face was covered with a mask... He remained silent as his arm came towards me. Thinking he was going to punch me I attempted to block him. He was so fast -too fast- but instead of hitting me, his arm came in contact with my neck pinning me to the alley wall.
"Well, Jackson, where are you going?" Carson's voice filled the alleyway. I swear I would of killed him, if I could at this moment. I have had enough of this guy!
"What do you want?" I growled. The guy had me pinned to the wall, but strangely he wasn't strangling me, just holding me there. I tried to move but the pressure increased, so I stop moving and he loosened the grip. Carson sighed at my attitude, man he is so annoying.
"You didn't answer my question. Where are you going?" He repeated. "You're mean't to be going to practice." So this was what it was all about. All because I'm skipping practice today, Sensei Lee sends these fools to take me there?
"I'm not going today..."
"Wrong!" Carson shouted cutting me off. "You're going, whether you like it or not Jackson."
"Seriously stop calling me Jackson!" I shouted trying to push the guy off me again. He was too strong though. So I tried something else, I kicked him in the stomach. He didn't release me but I could tell he felt it. I heard him growl through his mask at me. That's when I saw how he was holding his other hand. It was held in the tiger styled jutsu form... Only a few people know this move. He brought the hand up to my chest and aimed it at my only weak spot. Was it just his lucky day? Or did he know about it?
Without warning he used the jab on my chest. With this style of jutsu the force behind it can be worse than a punch. It may look like someone slapping you, but its not. This move hits pressure points and causes pain to erupt around them. I groaned out and bit my lip, I wasn't going to show weakness, I wasn't.
"I'm not going to practice." I glared.
"You are! We are here to take you..." Carson chuckled.
"I'm not!" I shouted not caring who might be listening. I've had enough of being treated like this. I struggled again against the guys grip and finally I broke free. I lunched myself at Carson totally forgetting about the other guy. I was almost to Carson when a kick to the same spot in my chest brought me gasping for breath, onto my knees. The pain was excruciating! I haven't felt this kind of power in a while and to be honest it scared me.
"Don't worry about practice today Jack..." The masked guy spoke looking down on me. I recognized his voice but I couldn't pin point who it was, the pain was overflowing my mind at the moment. "You'll have to come in on Saturday at 9am now. You will be sparing against me all day. Sensei Lee's orders. See you then Jack!" With that he walked off taking my skateboard with him. Carson kicked me in the stomach before walking off. I yelped out and protectively covered my chest.
"That was for embarrassing me in front of the school earlier! Later Jackson!" He called as he too disappeared.
I tried to stand but as soon as I moved the pain brought me to my knees again. I thought I had gotten stronger, but obviously I was weaker! I couldn't believe how easily that guy had took me down. The sudden sound of footsteps echoed around the alleyway and for the first time in a long time I felt... scared. Scared of who would appear before me. I couldn't defend myself right now. I was an easy target. I had quite a few enemies that would of loved to see me right now.
"Jack?" Came a girls voice. I recognized it straight away. I took in a deep breath and sat upright. I grimaced at the pain but kept my mouth shut. "Are you..."
"I'm fine." I glared. I use the wall and managed to almost stand correctly.
"Sure looks like it." Kim sighed coming closer to me.
"Stay there!" I warned making her stop.
"I saw the whole thing Jack." She stated folding her arms. I exhaled and gave her a small smile.
"I know you did." Her mouth dropped and my smile turned into a grin.
"But..."
"Everything's fine. Just go away please." I turned to go but in the process I lost my balance and practically fell into her arms.
"You're not ok!"
"Well this is embarrassing..." I mumbled.
"Let me help you!" She pleaded helping me stand on my own.
"Seriously Kim... I'm fine just go. Please!" I said please in a desperate tone, hoping she might just get the message.
"Stop this!" She shouted throwing her hands up.
"Stop what?" I asked utterly confused.
"You're pushing us away. I know now that they have something on you. I can't loose you Jack. Please let me help." She gave me her best puppy dog eyes. I sighed in frustration. She really has me! How can I say no to that face? If I tell her though then everyone will be in danger.
"I.. I can't..." I muttered looking to the floor.
"What does he have on... oh.. us, the warriors." She sighed answering her own question. I simply nodded my head. "Jack, look we can get through this. Come back to our dojo. We want you back. Together we can fight this. Stop trying to do things alone."
"You don't understand Kim. You think that guy was bad?" I asked nodding towards where Carson and masked guy had gone. "Sensei Lee's worse... way way worse. He's been holding back, I know he has. To be honest I'm scared of what he is able to do." Kim's mouth dropped slightly. Couldn't she understand that even I get scared at times?
"Jack... " She couldn't find any words, as she knew I was right. If we where seen together, then the punishment would come. It wouldn't be as easy as switching dojos any more, not with Sensei Lee now in the picture.
"Look Kim, thank you, really! But this is something I have to do alone." I smiled "I'm going home... I'll see you around school" I started to walk away.
"Wait!" She called "One more thing..".
"What?!" I snapped making her jump slightly. I then whispered a 'sorry' because of my harsh tone.
"Do you still love me?" Her eyes swelled with a tears, something I never thought I'd see. I walked over to her and kissed her forehead.
"Of course I do..." I couldn't finish as her lips found mine. I deepened the kiss and she pulled herself closer. Her body pushed against my chest making me groan. She pulled away and looked me over.
"Sorry!" She squeaked making me chuckle.
"What do we have here!" Pure fear erupted in my stomach as I pushed Kim behind me. The sound of his voice made the back of my hairs stand up. He sounded different, and yet angrier than I had ever heard him before. He stood in front of me alone and unarmed, but still he seemed so dangerous. The mask he had been wearing was now lying on the floor between us. He was wearing the black dragon Gi still, but now instead of looking like a student he looked like a teacher. A very powerful teacher. I knew we had to get away from him. It's been a while since I have seen him and to be totally honest I was hoping that the stories where true, but of course my luck had run out. I hated him but right now I wanted to get away, I was no match at the moment, and the last thing I wanted was for him to hurt Kim. I could smell the alcohol radiating off him. This made my fear grow, he was one person you didn't want to cross when he was angry and pissed. The last time that had happened someone dear to me had died and I'd almost lost my life as well. Protecting Kim was all that mattered at the moment. If he wanted a fight he'd get one, but only with me, Kim could get away.
"Jack.." He slurred. Some more footsteps came up behind us, I knew it must be the warriors which only made the situation more desperate. My sister could not see him, I wouldn't allow them to meet again, I couldn't. The footsteps stopped and then I could now hear them heading in a different direction. I sighed in relief and turned my fall attention back to the man in front of me. I could feel Kim getting scared at my reaction to the man as she gripped my t-shirt, harder and harder.
"Dad!" I glared unable to hide the confusion and fear in my voice. His mean't to be dead, and yet here he was before me. All these years I've wanted this moment so I could get him for the death of my brother. But he has turned up at the worse time ever. He stepped forward and just like before... I froze in fear.
