"We are going to fight?!"
Rupert didn't meant to scream that sentence so loud, but he was just surprised by Amy's words. Amy and Draco stared at Rupert as if was ill.
"Weren't you the one who suggested that we should fight soon?" Amy asked.
Rupert looked at her nervously. "Yeah...but I didn't expected it to be that soon."
Amy rolled her eyes. "Well, if it is too soon than we can do it later..." she said, but Rupert interrupted her.
"No, it's okay. Let's do it now." he said fidgeting with his hands. He didn't wanted the others to think that he was a chicken and didn't meant his words.
Draco and Amy stared at him. "Are you sure, Rup?" Draco asked.
Rupert nodded and grinned. "I am sure, I mean the earlier the better, right?" he asked.
Amy and Draco looked at each other, then Amy sighed. "Fine, if that what you want. Then follow me." she said.
Rupert nodded and followed the girl. They walked through a long corridor with a lot of people walking towards them and greeting them. Rupert knew none of them, but they looked very in hurry. After a while they finally reached the fighting room. When Rupert entered the room he gasped. The hall was huge. There were like 8 fighting areas where the people fought against each other. On the wall there were different types of weapons, from swords to guns. There was also a shooting area where a person would shoot on moving and non-moving targets and a training area where the person had to avoid lights that were shoot out from a disco ball. Also there were a lot of different rooms where people could train or gain muscles.
Rupert was sure he never saw such a thing before. Not even in his former life and he didn't remembered it. They went to a fighting areas, where two people were already fighting. It was a boy and girl.
The entered the fighting area. The girl just knocked the boy down and he cried as he hit the bottom.
"Seems like I have won again." the blond girl said grinning. She had a very pretty face and blue eyes. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail.
The dark-skinned guy glared at her. "Yeah, yeah...you don't have to rub it my face." he said annoyed.
The girl just grinned at him and then turned around to the three newcomers. "Amy, Draco! How wonderful to see you guys! And who is that?" she asked as she looked at Rupert. Rupert blushed a bit at that. The girl was really pretty.
"He is Rupert. He just woke up here with no memories. We are showing him the organization." Amy explained.
The girl gasped. "Oh you poor thing. I hope you like it here. I am Brittney by the way." she said grinning.
Rupert smiled at her shyly. "Nice to meet you." he said.
He suddenly heard someone coughing and saw the dark-skinned guy. "Oh just ignore the black guy, I am not important." he said sarcastically on the ground.
Amy rolled her eyes. "That's Daniel. He is sometimes really a sourpuss." she said.
"Hey! I am not!" Daniel cried standing up.
Amy rolled her eyes. "Whatever. How about you go now. I need Brittney now, so she can fight against Rupert." she said.
Rupert stared at her incredulously. He could feel that Daniel and Brittney was staring too.
"I...I fight against her?" he asked nervously.
Amy rolled her eyes at that. "Obviously. Brittney is the best fighter beside me we have here and I need you to learn a bit from her." she said.
"But we were just training, Amy!" Daniel protested.
"And now you aren't anymore." Amy said glaring at him.
Daniel glared back. The both were glaring at each other intensively and Rupert feared that one of them would explode, but Daniel huffed and walked away angrily.
"Umm...shouldn't someone go after him?" Rupert asked worriedly.
Draco shook his head. "Don't worry. He will be fine. He is just a hot head sometimes." He turned to Amy. "Although I can understand his reaction. I would reacted the same if somebody told me that in this way." he said to her.
Amy sighed. "Let's not talk about this. Rupert are you ready?" she asked him.
Rupert nodded. He was a bit nervous. He just saw how good Brittney was and he some how didn't wanted to hurt the pretty girl, but he wanted to fight.
Brittney grinned. "Great! I won't go to hard on you, I promise!" she said cheerfully.
Amy shook her head. "Brittney, do your best, don't go soft for him." she said strictly.
"But...are you sure, Amy? He is still new." she said nervously. Rupert now was panicking inside a bit.
Amy nodded. "Do your best." she just said.
Brittney turned around to Rupert and gave him an apologetic look. Draco laid a hand on Rupert's shoulder. "Good luck mate. You will need it." Rupert gulped at that.
Amy nodded. "We will watch from the outside." She turned to Brittney. "You are going to teach him the important things you need to fight, alright?"
Brittney nodded. "Come on let's go." she said smiling at him apologetic again.
"Umm, don't we need some training clothes or weapons?" Rupert asked. He didn't knew what to do. This was all new to him.
Amy shook her head. "You won't have training clothes in real life too and sometimes there are no weapons." she said then she went out of the ring. Draco followed her.
Rupert turned around to Brittney and looked at her nervously. He just saw what she had done to Daniel. Sure she was pretty, but that doesn't meant she could kick someone's butt.
Brittney beamed at him. "Don't be scared. It won't hurt, I promise." she said smiling.
Rupert looked at her sceptically, but nodded. He continued to stare at her, not knowing what to do.
"Come on attack me" Brittney suddenly said. Rupert blinked. "Wait, I just attack you now?" he asked nervously.
Brittney nodded and waved at him that he should attack her. Rupert was panicking inside. He told himself to calm down than looked at Brittney. She didn't looked like she would fight someone in second now. Instead she looked like she just woke up and was sleepwalking through the area. Maybe this was a feint. Rupert slowly approached her holding his arms over in front of his, then he attacked her stomach. Brittney immediately blocked his attack and hit for his head. Luckily Rupert was fast enough to duck. Out of instinct he tried to kick Brittney's feet away, but she jumped over his legs. Rupert rolled away ending up a few meters away from her. Brittney looked impressed.
"You are great for a beginner." she said beaming. Rupert tried not to blush at that compliment.
"Thanks, I do what I can." he answered then charging at her to surprise her. Unlucky for him she waited for his attack, took his arm, twisted him around and put her arm around his neck and his on arm on his back. Rupert groaned.
"Sorry, Rupert, but you should never attack someone straight. Always wait for a good moment." she said grinning.
"I was trying to surprise you..." he said groaning. "And you are crushing my arm."
Brittney immediately let him go. "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't meant to hurt you." she said.
Rupert rubbed his arm. Damn that girl had power.
"Brittney, you can't let your opponent go, if he asks you." Amy's voice came from one of the speakers. He turned around and saw her speaking into a microphone. Draco was sitting next to her.
"Oh I am so sorry Amy. But I was hurting him." she said apologetically.
Rupert could hear Amy sighing. "It's alright, but don't do it again. I showed you how to capture someone without hurting him or her too much." she said. "Now start fighting you two." she commanded.
The next few hours hadn't been really pleasant for Rupert. He may have improved in fighting now (Brittney and Amy both gave him advices every second), but his whole body hurt now. Brittney always apologized for every single hit on him and afterwards explain to him what he did wrong. Amy wasn't so nice. She was more strictly and criticizing. Rupert wondered what her problem was, but he remembered how Draco said that she had a tough past, so he let it through.
After endless hours of fighting, he was finally released and they walked back to his room. He, Draco and Amy parted away from Brittney who went to her own room. It was already very late and nobody was on the floor anymore.
When they arrived at his room, Amy parted away from them. She looked at Rupert shortly before she walked away and told him that he wasn't that bad as a beginner with a rare smile of hers.
Draco stayed with him a bit longer. "You know that was not that bad for a beginner. You were a bit reckless, but you had some good attempts." he said.
Rupert smiled at him. "Yeah, Brittney is a pretty good fighter."
Draco smirked at this. "Hmm, and she is a real catch too, don't you think?"
Rupert got nervous. "Umm, I don't know what you are talking about." he said.
At his words Draco began to laugh. "You don't think I haven't noticed how you are acting around her. Mate, you got it bad." he said laughing.
Rupert blushed. "Okay, I might have a tiny crush on her, but don't tell anyone okay?" he asked him.
Draco laughed and patted his shoulders. "Don't worry. Your secret is safe. I'll see you tomorrow then. Good night!" he said then leaving the room.
"Night Draco!" he called back, then he fell down on his bed. Those are going to be hard days.
