The Fighters
It's been a while, since people have been in the gym. "Alright everybody we are going to do a switch off every 5 minutes of workouts, then we are going to continue our tournament." Venum yelled in front of everybody. The people in the gym calmed down, and began to get into there little groups. "Seems like you don't need me to remind you, so get to work!"
John looked confused for a bit, and Venum saw this. "Humphrey show him how this works please." Humphrey nodded, and ran to John. John was in Humphrey's group, so they could interact with each other. "Come on give it all you have!" Wolves were trying harder and harder each time they came.
Venum walked up to the weightlifting machine, and started using it. "You... have... to... use... all... of... that... energy." Venum puffed out between breaths. After five minutes of pure pushing it up, placed the weight bar back onto the iron bar that hold it up. "Switch!" Venum yelled still having energy.
Humphrey and John ran to the weights. John got an iron 50 pound weight, and started pushing to his limits. 30 was his maximum, he switched off hands, as he switched his hand he could see he still needed 4 minutes left. He didn't seem to care, but he looked over to Humphrey, and he was doing 60 pound weights. They were the soft ends so it wouldn't hurt as much when it landed onto the paw of someone.
After a while everybody heard the switch.
Venum ran to the rope, and pulled himself up. It wasn't long so it took him 15 seconds to get up, and down. Venum ran to the bench, and grabbed some water. He rested while the five minutes are over. Humphrey and John sprinted to the ab workouts, and both of them did at least a hundred, before Venum called out again like a broken record. "Switch!" This was the last time they were switching. Humphrey and John ran to the rope, and Venum walked to the treadmills.
After of running 10 miles per hour continuously, he stopped the class. First he slowed down the treadmill so he wouldn't fall on the floor like a dumbass. "Alright class." Venum yelled, gathering everybody's attention. "Now we will spar first then continue our tournament. Got it?"
Everybody nodded and mumbled a 'Yes.' Venum looked at Humphrey, and nodded. "Your turn Humphrey." Humphrey nodded as well and walked to the middle while Venum walked out of the middle taking a seat next to Lilly.
"Alright you all know me. If you are new to this class my name is Humphrey." Humphrey placed his hands on his chest. "Anyways, the first people to spar will be Jake and Arrow. So can both Jake and Arrow come to the mat, and place there gloves and mouth piece on." The group walked to the mat as everybody started to surround it.
Jake is a bantamweight and so is Arrow. Jake is on the left side, aka red corner, and Arrow is on the right side, aka blue corner. Humphrey pointed at Jake first. "You ready?" Jake nodded, and placed his hands up. "You ready?" Arrow nodded as well, but he already had his hands up. "Alright let's do this."
With that Jake and Arrow started fighting. Venum from afar was talking to Lilly about there relationship. "So Lilly how was your first time?" Venum asked curious of what she was going to say.
"It was fun. Mostly with the person I love the most." Venum smiled and blushed. He was happy to know that Lilly loves him back.
"Hey Lilly I need to ask you something." Venum asked getting a bit nervous.
"What is it?" Lilly asked concerned.
Venum started breathing in and out deeply. "Do you... Do you wanna go out to dinner?"
Lilly smiled and giggled. "Of course Venum." Lilly agreed. "You don't have to be so nervous." Venum smirked, and hugged Lilly. Also Venum picked Lilly up making her float.
"Lilly have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" Venum complimented making Lilly blush red. Venum placed her back down, giving her another hug. "I'll see you at 8. I'll come pick you up."
"Alright big boy. I'll see you at 8, but first you need to drop me off at my house after the gym hours are over." Venum agreed, and looked at the time. '10:37 a.m.'
Arrow did the final strike, making Jake knockout. Arrow did a spinning back fist to the temple making him knockout. Humphrey ran to Jake lying on the floor. He waved his hands above him, and he had no response. "This fight is over." Humphrey stated. Arrow was jumping in joy, but this wasn't the tournament. "Arrow don't waste your energy. You still have to fight in the tournament." Humphrey smirked.
Arrow nodded, and ran to his bag getting out a cold fresh water. He chugged it down until no drop was left. "Alright everybody time for the tournament!" Humphrey yelled making everybody cheer.
"Next up is Venum Versus Luke. Then the next fight is going to be Humphrey Versus Fabio." Humphrey looked up to Fabio. "Damn Fabio you are in luck today." John came up to Humphrey and asked something.
John whispered in Humphrey's ear. "Hey do you think you can let me in."
Humphrey got confused. "Wh- what do you mean?"
John sighed and asked directly. "May I fight someone from your class?"
Finally Humphrey got what he meant. "Ohhhh Okay sure We'll set you up a fight for now get some rest. It might be a lightweight, but Fernando is the only one out so you're going to have to fight him." John looked at Fernando.
"Set me up with him. He's fine." John sat down at the bench farthest from the group.
While Venum was playing around with Lilly, Humphrey yelled at him. "Aye big boy get your ass over here. It's your turn to fight."
Venum looked over, and he gave Lilly a be right back kiss. "Wish me luck babe."
"Best of luck baby." Lilly blew Venum a kiss while he was walking away. Venum caught it in his hand, and placed it on his heart.
"It's going to be right here." Venum mentioned, he placed his gloves in place on his arms. Venum walked into the cage, and took off his tanktop showing off his abs. "Alright let's do this." He whispered placing his hands in position.
Luke and Humphrey were already in position, and ready to go. "You ready?" Humphrey mentioned to Venum. He nodded, as Humphrey looked at Luke. "You ready?" Luke placed his arms in a thumbs up, and they got started. "Alright let's go."
Luke and Venum placed there hands out. They tapped gloves and continued there fight. Luke threw two quick jabs, but not quick enough. Venum dodged both making Luke's jabs look like they were slow. 'My turn.' Venum thought making three power hits. Two left hooks, and one uppercut. Luke got rocked, but didn't go down. Luke didn't protect anything, so Venum threw one last, quick, and powerful jab. Luke was too fast this time, he ducked under and threw a powerful left hook hitting Venum in the jaw.
Venum's head knocked back, it was a hard hook to knock him out luckily he didn't get hit that much. Luke threw a body kick, but when Venum looked back at Luke he accidently caught the kick. Venum used this to his advantage so he jabbed him in the face, opening a cut above his right eye. Then he kicked his lower left leg making him fall down. Venum rushed on top of him, and did two transitions making Venum be in side control. Venum banged on his head, but this man is tough. He was able to get hit without being rocked. Venum hit him one last time until he got up from side control. Standing up, Luke bolted up not wanting to get on the ground again.
As fun that this was, Venum had to end this. He looked at Luke's face, and saw that he had cut on both eyes. His face was burning red, from all the hits. Luke and Venum both heard the ten second mark. So Venum did a spinning heel kick to the jaw, making Luke fall to the floor knocked out. Humphrey ran to Luke, and waved his hands. Luke's eye's opened right when Humphrey called the match.
"The winner is Venum!" Humphrey announced helping Luke up. Everybody cheered for Luke and Venum for participating in the fight. Venum walked up to Luke.
"Hey you alright Luke?" Venum asked giving him a hug.
"Yeah I'm fine. Good fight." Luke shook his hand.
"Thanks Luke same with you. You have a pretty strong left hook, but you need to work on your ground defence." Luke nodded, as they pulled away from there hug.
Venum ran out of the cage to hug Lilly. "Great job macho man." Lilly giggled.
Venum chuckled at this, and hugged Lilly. "Alright let's go have a seat." They both took there seat next to the octagon.
"Next up is Fabio Versus Humphrey. Which is me." He handed the clipboard to Venum as he took off his shirt, and placing the gloves on his hands. "Alright Arrow you're going to be the red for this match, because someone is having his girlfriend and boyfriend alone time." Arrow nodded, and ran up the octagon.
Humphrey wanted to get this over with quick, because the gym was about to close, and they still had to clean the gym. Fabio finally after getting ready stepped into the octagon. "You ready?" Arrow announced. Humphrey placed his hands up. "You ready?" Fabio nodded. "Let's go!"
Humphrey and Fabio placed out there hands, and they tapped gloves. Respect in this gym is number one. Humphrey did a double kick to the face. Fabio grinned at this. He ran at Humphrey trying to take him down, but Humphrey threw his knee strike. Fabio hit his face on his knee, and got rocked. He laid on the floor, gasping for air trying to make his head stop hurting with the overwhelming pain. Humphrey got on his back, and started banging on his head. "Stop the fight is over!" Arrow pushed Humphrey off of Fabio, as Fabio still laid on the floor covering this head. "The winner is Humphery!"
Everybody started cheering, they both left the octagon. "Good job Fabio. Nice fight."
"Same to you Humphrey." They both shook hands, and next was John Versus Fernando.
"Alright everybody. Now it's going to be Fernando Versus John. Our guest, but don't go easy on him, because he's not a newcomer to fighting." Fernando nodded, and got ready. John finally came out of his hidey hole, and got ready for the fight. Both John and Fernando got to the octagon, so they began the fight.
"You ready?" John nodded. "You ready?" Fernando showed his mouth piece meaning a yes. "Alright then let's go."
They both placed there hands out, and tapped gloves. John came out swinging first. Fernando ducked under, and did and upper cut. John moved back quick enough so the punch only skinned him. John ran to him, and knee strike him in the moved to the back of the cage, as John got him into a clinch. John punched him with all his force from the double collar tie clinch. He then placed both arms on his opponent, and did one last knee strike to the head making Fernando fall to the floor knocked out. Arrow flew towards them, and saw Fernando knocked out. He waved and nothing. "This fight is over. The winner is John." Everybody cheered for the newcomer to the gym. Finally Fernando came back from the dead.
"Good job Fernando." John placed his arm out to help him up. Fernando grabbed his arm, and they both pulled.
"Thanks you too." Fernando smiled. They both exited the octagon.
"Alright everybody tomorrow there will be no gym since Humphrey and I have a fight in Vegas tomorrow. The gym will be closed for exactly one month! Now everybody have a good day!" Once Venum yelled that out, everyone scrambled leaving the gym.
Humphrey, Lilly, John, and Venum did there part, and cleaned up the gym. "Alright everybody. Let's go." The four left and Venum closed the garage gate. "I'll drop Humphrey and John off at Humphrey's place, and I'll drop my baby off at her place." Venum smiled.
All of them ran towards Venum's car. Then Venum dropped all of them off at their houses. Venum returned home alone having no one to talk to, until the date with Lilly.
