With a cry Goldar brought his sword down on him then from out of nowhere a figure threw itself against Logan forcing him down and rolling away. The sword swished by harmlessly above them as the figure laid on top of him. Logan got a glimpse of Goldar's surprised face before a second figure sailed through the air and strike Goldar knocking him down.
Coming to a stop Logan moaned and his eyes went wide when he saw James on top of him. "J… what the hell do you think you are doing!" Logan barked almost saying James's name.
"Didn't have time to think about it!" he snapped back then rolled off Logan.
With a moan, Logan rolled onto his back and looking up saw Peter rolling away from an attack from Goldar then strike out with a kick. "I… I gotta…. help him," Logan muttered, struggling to his feet.
Back on his feet Logan took a step then started to fall, and James caught him. "What can you do you can barely stand," James said.
"Get me to the fire and you'll find out," Logan muttered.
"What fire?" James snapped.
After glancing around in a flash Logan drew his Draco blaster and fired three shots. In front of them three bikes exploded into fire.
"That one, now get me to it fast!" Logan muttered, as James looking at him wrapped his arm over his shoulder started toward the fire one of Logan's feet dragging on the ground.
'Now what' Logan heard James think when they reached it.
"Throw me in," Logan muttered.
"WHAT?" James barked.
"JUST DO IT!" Logan snapped and James looked at him then heaved Logan into the flames.
James watched as Logan rolled through the flames. Then his eyes went wide in amazement as Logan turned onto his front and onto his hands and knees as the flames shrank. Then very slowly as Logan climbed to one knee the flames continued to shrink.
Surrounded by flames down on one knee fingertips on the ground remained for a second eyes closed behind his helmet visor. Then slowly he stood straight eyes still closed breathing in deeply through his nose arms coming across his chest before slowly bringing them to his sides. Then let out the breath he was holding his eyes snapped open and his head whipped around as the flames died completely.
Meanwhile Peter after having a blow defected moved in to strike again to found Goldar seize him by the throat. Grabbing Goldar by the wrist as he was lifted off his feet then slammed onto the ground. The breath knocked out of him Peter looked up at Goldar's growling rage covered face.
"This will teach you to stay out of our way you puny human!" Goldar snarled bring his sword up in both hands to run it through him.
In a flash of moment a red gloved hand seized Goldar's wrist from behind hand and brought back hard causing Goldar to cringe with pain twisting to face Logan. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size," Logan muttered, before striking Goldar with a palm strike to the chest.
The blow launched Goldar back a dozen feet and he slowly climbed to his feet. "Red… Dragon," Peter started back on his feet.
"Kid get out of here…GO!" Logan said, snapping the last part out facing Peter as he started to protest.
Peter looked at him for a couple of seconds then bolted and Logan turned back to Goldar. "Let's get it on," he muttered then darted forward and leapt forward nailing him with a hard flying side kick as he got to his feet.
Logan kept moving forward nailing Goldar with kick after kick then delivered a powerful one that sent Goldar back ten feet. Landing with a roll Logan slipped into a fighting stance his sword rocketing into his hand and as Goldar got to his feet he formed The Dragon Swords. As the two circled each other Logan reversed the grip on one and lowering his stance.
Then the two charged each other and with a ring of steel they met with Logan blocking a blow aimed down at his head. Spinning he slashed Goldar across the chest with his second sword. They faced each other again then charged each other again and Logan blocked a second blow and forced Goldar's sword then forced it down burring the tip into the ground then struck out.
Goldar stepped back dodging the blow and spinning again Logan nailed him across the chest again with his second sword then a kick across his face. "Aren't you getting a little tired of me or The White Ranger always kicking your gold plated ass?" Logan asked shifting his grips.
Goldar gave him a toothy devilry grin. "You're bluffing," he growled.
Taking a deep breath Logan planted his swords into the ground widened his stance and concentrated as he raised his hands. Slowly exhaling he drew his hands slowly down to his lower chest and as he did pure red energy appeared in the air. In fluid circular motions he gathered the energy up into a ball of energy.
Taking a step forward, eyes locked on Goldar's shocked face with the ball of energy in front of it thrust his hand in front of himself. A beam of energy shot at a surprised Goldar hitting him full in the chest and was launched off his feet.
Logan watched as Goldar was launched off his feet and disappeared in the distance before dropping to one knee. "I never bluff," he gasped out.
'Good to know but that little stunt of yours nearly cost us that boost' Red Dragon snapped at him.
'I have to keep up appearances they can't know I'm weakening'
"LOGAN ARE YOU ALRIGHT! Logan come in," Zordon yelled in panic through the comlink.
"If you want to blow out my ear drum please keep yelling," Logan muttered, getting to his feet.
"Logan thank the stars you're alright the other rangers and your friends need your help," Zordon barked.
Logan was silent for a moment then wrenched his swords from the ground. "Tell me where to go."
Leaning as low as he could on his bike Logan rocketed through the air on The Dragon Rider Cycle. "How much further?" he snapped his nerves tense.
'At the speed we've been going two minutes,' Red Dragon said and Logan twisted harder on the throttle.
'Make that one minute,' Red Dragon said as they dropped lower and rolled to avoid a tree.
As he roared over a hill he spotted Tommy and Kimberly fighting a horde of putties. In a flash he brought his legs close to squat on the bike.
'Don't even think about it,' Red Dragon snapped.
'Maybe I should do that more often,' Logan said, then leapt off the bike.
The wind rushing by the ground rushed up at Logan as he dropped head first toward the ground arms tucked close. As a putty was about to strike Tommy from behind it froze spotting him.
Before it could do anything Logan flipped around bringing his legs forward. "DRAGON FIRE POWER KICK!" he shouted and nailed the putty hard on the Z.
The blow blew the putty off its feet and rocket back into a couple others that were charging them. "Hey Tommy, miss me?" he said, as Tommy turned to look at him then kicked a putty over Logan's shoulder.
"There's more of them now where are they coming from!" Kimberly yelled kicking two in the Zs then leapt up spinning to kick a third in the head.
"Were ever it is they must have an endless supply," Logan barked wrapping his arm around the neck of one and twisting around breaking its neck dropped it to the ground.
After kicking another coming at him and drove hos Dragon Ninja Sword through the Z of the one he dropped and they both shattered.
As he threw his sword at another and it planted it's self in the middle of a putties Z he turns as Tommy shouted, "Look they're free!" in time to see Rocky, Adam, and Aisha rush out of the cave and join the fight.
"AIM FOR THE Z!" Kimberly yelled at them and in response Aisha blocked a blow then rammed a punch into the Z and the putty shattered.
"Thanks for the tip!" Aisha barked giving Kim the thumbs up.
Beside Logan, Adam kicked a putty in front and behind him then leapt up spinning to kick a putty behind Logan who dropped down to sweep the legs out from under another. Standing straight Logan threw a spin kick nailing a putty in the head as Adam kicked another putty in front of him. Together they raised their legs up high grabbing their heels as they turned and slammed the blows down on the putties Zs where they shattered.
Turning to block the blow of another one Logan saw Rocky handspring away from a group of putties. Looking back he saw another putty charge him Logan met him half way leaping up twisting in midair to grab the putty between his thighs and twisting and still spinning landed on the ground. With a jerk he broke the putties neck then kicked the putty in the Z.
Rolling back onto his feet to see a Trini punch a putty in midair that had jumped off the top of the cliff to tackle her then looked over at Rocky. "HEY KID PULL!" he shouted at Rocky.
Turning Rocky using both hands threw a putty that had leapt towards him right at Logan. Falling back Logan kicked the putty in the Z as it passed overhead before landing on his back. Leaping to his feet darting forward with Tommy and Kimberly at the last three putties and as one the three leapt into the air and nailed them with a flying side kick each.
"Good job you guys," Kimberly congratulating the three in front of them.
"Where's the Blue Ranger?" Rocky demanded.
"He must still be in the cave, let's go!" Tommy barked.
"He was in there fighting the snake!" Aisha snapped as they rushed inside.
When they reached Billy struggling on the ground with a massive snake they turned back to Aisha, Adam, and Rocky. "Stay back!" they snapped at them then charged forward.
When they were within reach Tommy and Logan each seized an end of the snake which immediately began thrashing them about. "DON'T LET IT BITE YOU!" Logan shouted as struggled to stay on his feet as he held onto the tail.
"No kidding want to trade?" Tommy snapped as he was forced onto his back struggling to keep the wide dripping fanged mouth at bay.
Before he could replay Logan was lurched off his feet still managing to hold on as he was slammed hard into the cave wall. "You might not… find this end that easy," he said, as he was slammed into the wall again.
"Be careful you guys," Kimberly shouted drawing her blade blaster.
"This coming from the girl not wrestling the Anaconda!" Logan snapped as he was dragged across the floor.
"Well give me a clear shot and I'll zap it back to Lord Zedd!" She snapped harshly at him.
Looking at Tommy, Logan nodded. "Count of three," he said, and Tommy nodded.
"One…," Logan said.
"Two…," Tommy said.
"THREE…," they barked together and in one motion heaved the snake against the wall.
At once it uncoiled itself and lunged at them mouth wide. In a flash of movement Kimberly leveled her weapon and fired. Centimeters from Logan's helmet the beam hit the snake which fell dead and breathing again Logan watched it fall to the floor dead.
"Nice shooting Miss Oakley," he muttered then rolled onto his back to look at Billy as Tommy and Kimberly bent down infront of him.
Logan's eyes went wide when he saw Billy thrashing on the floor clutching his throat. "We gotta do something!" Tommy barked.
"The snake must have crushed his intake valve he gotta get his helmet off!" Kimberly snapped then moved to do it.
"Wait!" Tommy snapped looking back where they left the three.
"It's not worth his life Tommy," Logan snapped coming close.
"Ok hurry!" Tommy snapped and Kimberly and Logan wrenched Billy's helmet off.
The three knelt over Billy as he struggled to get his breath back. "Billy you alright just take deep breaths and you'll be fine," Kimberly said, as Billy coughed in air.
"Just sit here for a moment and you'll be fine," Kimberly said, as Billy sat up.
"I'm ok… I'm ok…. Oh no," Billy said, and the three turned and saw Adam, Aisha, and Rocky staring at them.
"Billy?" Rocky said, in shocked awe and Aisha pointed at Kimberly.
"So you must be…" Aisha began.
"I don't believe this," Kimberly muttered, and she and Tommy slowly took off their helmets.
"Kimberly… and Tommy," Adam muttered.
"You guys are the Power Rangers, cool, then that must make you Logan," Aisha said, pointing at him.
"Close," Logan said, then removed his helmet.
"But no cigar," he said, and they stared at his altered face.
"Don't take it bad we had the same guess, but like father like son," Tommy said, standing and helping Billy to his feet.
"I guess we have a lot to talk about," Kimberly said, standing.
"Yeah I guess you could say that," Adam said.
"Well let's do it in a more private place," Logan said, and he noticed the ice in Kimberly's eyes as she looked at him.
"…and might I suggest I arrange the transportation," he said, and the others nodded and he turns and made a portal.
They all stepped through to the Command Center inner chamber and Zordon and Alpha turned to look at them. "Tommy, Kimberly, Billy what has happened?" Zordon demanded when they saw they weren't wearing their helmets.
"It was out of our control Zordon, call the other Rangers they need to know," Tommy said, and Zordon looking at Adam, Aisha, and Rocky nodded.
"Power Down," Logan declared demorphing and frowning at the icy stare Kimberly was still giving him as he went off to lean against a console in the corner.
When the others arrived at first shocked the Kimberly, Billy, and Tommy was standing and talking to the others then went quite when it was explained and Adam guessed who they were. As one they looked at each other and demorphed. In no time Aisha, Rocky, and Adam stood before Zordon who looked down at them with a hard look.
"The three of you have put us all in a very dangerous and compromising position. For you are the only other people to know the identities of the Power Rangers," Zordon started.
"Man can you believe this, it's like totally awesome," Rocky muttered to Adam who nodded and Aisha jammed an elbow into Rocky's gut.
"Hey let the man talk… at least I think he's a man," she snapped at him looking back at Zordon.
"It is imperative that this information remains a secret Alpha has looked into your backgrounds and have determined that you are model citizens. You have shown yourselves to be loyal fair and trustworthy. There for we ask for you to take a solemn vow never to reveal their identities," Zordon continued and Adam, Aisha, and Rocky looked at each other and agreed.
With a since of pride Logan watched as they took their oaths knowing that their lives would change forever and history was being made. When they were done he watched the others converse with them.
He was jolted from his thought as Rocky called out, "hey Red Dragon," and he looked up.
"Since we know their names why not yours?" he said, smiling and the others looked at him and he stood straight.
"My face is enough," he said, walking forward.
"How convenient," Kimberly growled and Tommy gave her a side glance.
"What was that about?" he muttered.
"Actually that's something I'd like to know? You've been giving me the cold shoulder all day and quite frankly I'm tired of it. So whatever you have to say just let it out," he said, throwing his arms up.
She looked at him for a moment then without warning spun on her heel and nailed him with a kick across the face. He fell to the floor stunned by the blow rubbing his jaw where she hit him and looked back at her. His eyes went wide in surprise as Jason and Tommy were holding her back from tackling him.
"LET ME GO!" she kept snapping as he climbed to his feet.
"I'm not so sure I deserve that, and if I did I have no idea what I did," he said, still rubbing his jaw.
"Oh you deserved it and more you bastard!" she shouted still struggling to free herself.
"Then do you mind telling me what I did?"
"You've been beating Logan!" With that outburst the chamber went silent and all eyes turned on him as he froze.
"I saw his X-rays! They were covered in break scars and that was just of his arm I can only imagine what the rest of his skeleton looks like!" she snapped as she shrugged off Jason and Tommy who were looking dumbfounded.
Logan looking at each of them in turn took a step forward. "Kimberly…" he started but was interrupted as Tommy raised a hand.
"I think it's best if you just go," he said, face hard.
Logan was silent for a moment then with a flick of his wrist behind him opened a portal and left.
Later Logan was in the youth center arm back in his cast sitting at a table stirring a drink before he had to go on stage. He was so deep in thought that he barely noticed as Kimberly took a seat next to him.
"So anything special for the coming numbers?" she asked smiling.
He glanced at her. "My father's jaw pretty sore," he said, and her face dropped.
"Logan I…" she started but he stopped her raising his hand.
"I don't want to hear it besides I have to get to work, but I still need someone to play the guitar," he said, standing and looking at him she slowly stood.
He barely looked at her as she took a seat on stage make sure the guitar was in tune and looking over the notes on the stand and he flicked on the mike. "Everyone may I have your attention," he said, into it and everyone looked at him.
"These first two numbers are dedicated to the heroes of Angel Grove. But before I get started I have this to say. Hero's come in all shapes in sizes; some were masks, some body armor to fight monsters in, while others do it with a badge with a gun or an axe. But then there are the heroes of the moment.
Men and women who rush into a situation without a second thought of the danger just because it's the right thing to do. So ladies and gentlemen I am proud to say that we are in the presence of two bonifide genuine heroes," he declared and he saw the others grow tense.
"And I now ask that James Adams and Peter Jacobson join me on stage to be recognized. For these not only risked their lives to defend The Red Dragon Ranger against Goldar these two have taken their place in our city of heroes," he said, and started clapping with everyone as they looked at the two boys who were frozen with shock next to their parents who gapped in surprise.
With a little encouragement from their families James and Peter stood and came on stage and the applause slowly died down as Logan raised his hands. "Many of you may remember James from what happened here at the Youth Center a few weeks ago and many here don't know Peter.
Over the past few weeks I have gotten to know these boys and I can tell you that I am proud to know these boys and that they have a will of iron through the hardships that they have faced. So I am proud to stand here with them and to dedicate these songs to them," Logan said, then nodded at Kimberly who started strumming the guitar and Logan bobbed his head with the beat turning back.
"I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness, inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
So sad eyes
Discouraged now
Realize
When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors, true colors
'cause there's a shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Beautiful, like a rainbow," he sang and people cheered.
As the cheers died down one set of clapping was the loudest and looking over he saw that it was Chuck his friends close by and Logan's face hardened. "Is there something amusing Chuck?" Logan asked as Chuck continued his mock applause.
"Not really just this is a hippy place," he said.
"And what is that supposed to mean!" Kimberly snapped standing up and Logan raised an arm to stop her from charging Chuck.
"Just a bunch of people praising a fag and a retard," Chuck loud enough for Logan to hear and his face darkened.
Slowly he looked at James and saw the fear in his eyes. "James," he said, and James looked at him.
"What school did you transfer from?" he asked.
A somber look flashed on James face before he muttered, "Hamburg."
Logan closed his eyes and opened them again and a silent question went between them. After a few seconds James nodded.
"Ernie call the police," Logan said, into the mike then hopped off stage people looking at him.
"Why?" Ernie said picking up the phone.
"Tell them we have the person who attacked James or maybe people," Logan said, walking up to Chuck.
Chuck letting out a puff of air gave Logan a look of hate puzzlement. "What the hell are you talking about?" he spat.
Fighting the anger out of his voice Logan said,, "a few weeks ago I found James nearly beaten to death in the showers. Until right now we didn't know who did it," Logan said.
Chuck gave a short laugh. "And you think I did it?" Chuck said standing getting in Logan's face.
"I don't think, I know it was you. You see only four people in this room knew that James was gay. Him, his mother, me, and his attacker," Logan said, and he noted the beads of sweet appear on Chuck's face.
Anger seeping from him Logan growled through his teeth, "tell me Chuck did it make you feel big did it make you feel important, did it make you feel like a man to beat him to a bloody pulp."
"I never touched the fag! Why would I? You can't pin this on me just because we went to the same high school!" Chuck yelled.
"You were angry because even with a broken arm I beat you right out of the ring, and recognizing James you found someone to vent it out on. I bet you even landed your first blow from behind… AM I RIGHT JAMES?" Logan said, then looked over at James who after a moment nodded.
"So you didn't even have the balls to face him like a man. But then people like you rarely have the balls for that. But more than that the mop you are such a coward that you had to use a broken mob handle on down unarmed teenager.
But then I guess from how you fought me in the ring your fists and feet probably didn't leave that much an impression. Has that always been a problem with you Chuck?" Logan continued and he saw Chuck's face go dark with anger.
"That's it isn't can't back it up with the goods in the ring, your girl if you have one, or in just life. Or is it something deeper and darker…" Logan continued then turned as a voice interrupted him.
"… are you such a homophobic bastard because you are so angry that despite how much you work out how flashy your formally bike is and you still can't get it up! So tell me is it because you're secretly gay yourself!" James snapped stalking over.
"I SHOULD HAVE BROKEN YOUR GOD DAME NECK!" Chuck screamed in pure anger and hate and the center went silent as he breathed hard.
Logan smiled as Chuck's eyes go wide and tried to bolt but was blocked by Tommy and Jason. "And where do you think you're going?" Tommy growled.
"Besides we're not done with you," Logan said, and Chuck turned to him.
"Two more sparring matches, and if you win you go free," Logan said, and everyone looked at him.
"With who you? Them?" Chuck said looking at him then a Jason and Tommy who stared at Logan dumbfounded.
"No with this on it will be to temping to bash your skull in," Logan said, raising his casted arm.
"You will fight James and Peter," Logan finished looking at them.
At this Peter came over looking nervous and Chuck laughed. "Deal," Chuck said and shoved past people to get to the mats.
At once Peter and James looked at him. "Logan I don't know if I'm good enough…" James started when Logan raised a hand as James's and Peter's family appeared.
"Peter will fight him first, and Mrs. Adams do you trust me?" Logan said, then looked at James's mother.
She was silent for a moment then nodded. "then trust me to know your son's skill level he's been sparring with Peter to a tie his last few times and you should know his skill," Logan said, looking at Peter's parents who nodded.
"But Peter's never taken a lesson in his life and Chuck is practically master status!" Tommy protested and Logan looked at him.
"Your right he deserves a handicap, Peter," Logan said, Tommy gapped as peter looked at him.
"Only do the styles I call out understood," He said, and Peter nodded.
A few minutes later Peter stood before Chuck with a sparring helmet and foot pads. "I hope you know what you're doing?" Kimberly muttered, beside him and he glanced at her then back at Peter.
"Do you trust me?" he asked her and she looked at him.
Slowly he looked back. "Yes," she muttered.
"Then trust my judgment. I have seen these boys fight, you haven't. And for them this is more than just a fight to hopefully put away someone who could turn murderer," Logan said.
"What are you talking about?"
"You may partially understand the battle because you have a friend who's deaf but you have to understand this is completely different. These boys are fighting for their right to be apart and their place in society. For decades people like them have been shunned, hidden away, or locked up because they are different or considered ungodly.
So this fight has to be done. Not only for them. But the people here to see that they are here and not going anywhere and its time that the world accepted them not try to cure them or eradicate them," Logan said,, as he did Kimberly's face went sollum and he gaze lowered and looked back at Peter.
"And for them to learn to no longer be afraid," she muttered.
"Exactly, now if you don't mind," Logan said, and looked back at Peter.
He watched as the two looked each other over Peter passive while Chuck had an arrogant smile on his face before rushing forward. "Karate!" Logan snapped.
In an instant Peter reacted and side kicked Chuck in the chest sending him back doubled up then was knocked on the side of the head with a crescent kick. Rolling to his feet Chuck blinked at Peter as they circled each other.
In a flash Chuck reached out to lower Peter's front hand and strike out at his head. At one Peter leaned back from it deflecting the punch and struck out with his own nailing Chuck on the side of the head. Going with it Chuck's other leg shot up and dropping low Peter nailing him to the stomach with a punch then an elbow as he stood straight sending Chuck to the mat with a palm strike.
Rolling back onto his Chuck faced Peter again and as he as he struck out with a kick Logan barked, "Tae-Kwon-Do!"
At once Peter dropped under the kick to the side of his knee and struck the lower part of Chuck's leg with a side kick sending back to the mat. At once the two were on their feet with peter sending Chuck back with a couple front kicks the last one Chuck caught. In response before he could do anything Peter leapt into the air spinning to nail Chuck with a kick to the head with his other leg.
As Chuck got to his feet he leaned back as Peter threw a jumping spin kick then leapt back as keeping the momentum when he landed Peter tried to sweep him off his feet. Standing straight Chuck ducked under a crescent kick then was nailed on the side of the head with a spin kick. As they faced off again Chuck ducked under a second crescent kick then doubled up by the roundhouse from the same leg then spun away as Peter nailed him with a tornado kick.
As he recovered Peter leapt at him spun in the air and nailed him in the chest with a flying turning side kick. "Peter back off," Logan said, as Peter raised a fist.
At once Peter froze then backed up a few steps as Chuck climbed to one knee glancing at Logan. Slowly he looked back at Peter then with a look of blind rage charged him.
"Maui-Tai!" Logan barked and Peter shifted his stance.
Chuck hit home full in the chest and backing up with it Peter wrapped his hands around the back of his neck pinning his forearms against the side of his neck and began delivering knee strikes to Chucks exposed chest. Trying to slip his head down Chuck was wacked on his fore head before Peter twisting his arms threw him to the side.
Keeping his hands up Peter watched Chuck start to get up then spinning on his toes wacked Chuck on the side of the head with a kick. As Chuck used the blow to roll onto his feet Peter threw a kick to his groin which Chuck blocked then wacked upside the head with a round house. Down on one knee Chuck blocked an elbow strike with his own then doubled up as Peter turning dropped down to deliver an elbow strike to his stomach then grabbed chucks head to throw him over his shoulder.
After Peter delivered an elbow to Chuck's chest Logan snapped, "Aikido."
Peter slipped back onto his feet and slipped into a stance and Chuck rolled onto his feet and threw a kick. At once Peter deflected it and the punch that followed it and close lined Chuck as he stepped forward. Turning back to face Chuck as he got to his feet Peter caught a punch that was thrown at him going with it he then spun back locking out the wrist spun back send Chuck onto his back.
Taking a couple steps back Peter watched Chuck get to his feet and catching another punch Peter went with again and after stepping under it locked out Chuck's arm and threw him forward. "Judo!" Logan snapped as Chuck charged him again and Peter getting hold of him threw him over his shoulder and they both landed on the mats.
"Ju-jitsu! Hold!" Logan snapped and Peter wrapped his legs around Chuck's hips and grabbing one arm locked his arm out so Chuck was pinned against the mat.
With that Logan walked onto the mats and squatted down next to Chucks head. "Just tap out and it's over," he said.
"Go to hell," Chuck growled struggling.
"Fine but remember in the position you're in he could easily snap your arm like a twig," Logan said,, emphasizing it with a quick movement with his hands and Chuck glanced at him.
"Peter…" Logan started but was interrupted as Chuck tapped out and Peter let him go and they got to their feet.
"That's enough," Logan said,, putting a hand on Peter's chest then whispered in his ear.
"Three minute rest then James," Logan said,, before turning back to Chuck.
Hearing quick movements behind him Logan turned in time to see Peter deliver a double claw strike to Chuck. Then with a hook kick following up with a jumping spin kick sending Chuck to the mat.
"I suggest you take those three minutes and no more sucker punches," Logan said, as Chuck rolled dazed to look at him and went to stand with the others.
"What did you say to Peter?" Kimberly asked in shocked awe.
"That if he tried anything use Tiger Kung Fu," he said.
"Did you teach Peter to fight like that?" Jason demanded in just as much shock as Peter rejoined his parents and they whole fully congratulated him.
"No he could already fight like that when I got to him, just sloppier," Logan said.
"But how he never took a lesson," Tommy said, looking over at Peter.
"He practically had a lifetime of lessons from some of the best Martial Artist in the world," Logan said, looking over at Peter as he shuffled away from people praising him.
"Who?" Jason asked in awe and wonderment.
"Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, VanDamme, David Carrideine, Cynthia Rothrock, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Richard Norton, and just about everyone else who fought in the Olympics," Logan said, and the others stared at him like he was crazy.
"But… that's… impossible," Adam stammered.
"I think from what you saw it's not for him he just has to watch it and he can copy it. That's why Chuck could barely get a blow in; Peter watched him fight before and knew what would come. Now I have to give a prep talk to James," Logan said, and left the others to stare at Peter.
When he reached James he noted that he was practically hyperventilating. "James," He said, putting his good hand on James's shoulder and he jumped.
"Y…y…yeah," James said, shakily.
Smiling Logan took him by the shoulders and turned James to face him. "Relax he's not going to do anything tricky. And if he does…," Logan said, and raised his cast.
"I'm armed and dangerous," he said, and James chuckled.
"Look you saw the fight with Peter, Chuck cold barely touch him," Logan said.
"Yeah but that was Peter," James muttered.
"You tied with him in your last match," Logan pointed out picking up the gear.
"Barely,"
"It still happened. Now when you get out there remember fight with your head not your heart and remember HES, ok?" Logan said,, putting on his gloves and James nodded.
"Go get him champ," Logan said, slipping James's head gear on and slapping him on the shoulder and caught sight of something over James's shoulder.
As James began loosening himself up Logan slipped through the crowd and intercepted two police officers that had just come through the front entrance. "Officers thank you for coming," he said.
"We received a call saying that you had the one that attacked that boy…" One said then caught sight of James.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"Officers if you wait a few minutes you could have your man," Logan said.
"Kid is that the boy that was attacked?" the other officer asked pointing at James over Logan's shoulder.
"Yes that's him…," Logan started but was interrupted
"and you people are just going to let the same thing happen over again, we got that kids record he's been a victim long…" the other officer said starting forward but was halted as Logan grabbed his arm.
"The victim needs this, he needs to stop running, but more than that he needs to make a point otherwise it's going to happen again and again. So if you understand that please take a seat and in a few minutes you could have your man," he said, face hard.
The cops looked at him for a moment then turned and walked over a table to take a seat at a table. After watching them Logan returned to stand with the others to watch the fight as James and Chuck squared off.
Logan watched as they circled each other shifting stances. Every so often they would jerk at one another sometimes causing the other to tense up. Then in a flash of movement Chuck moved to kick James who lowered his hands to block it then reared back as Chuck wacked him with a backhand to the head.
Recovering James tried to kick Chuck who caught the leg and lifted James off his feet. James rolled away as Chuck tried to stomp him a couple times. After Chuck brought his leg down James caught his leg with his feet and sent Chuck to the mat. Back on their feet James tried to kick out at Chuck again caught his leg and threw him to the mat.
In a flash James rolled back onto his feet then dropped to the mat as Chuck sailed at him with a flying side kick. Before James could turn and face him Chuck had him in a choke hold from behind. In a flash Logan raised his arms to stop the others from charging onto the mat.
They watched James struggle a little as Chuck held him an arrogant smile on his face. "This time faggot, I'm going to do more than just wash away your sins. This time I'm going to do to you what I did to your old boyfriend," Logan heard Chuck growl into James ear whose eyes darkened.
"You… don't… scare… me… anymore!" James snapped out then rammed the back of his head into Chucks face and dropping down to one knee threw Chuck over his shoulder.
Looking up James caught Logan's eyes as he folded his arms.
Slowly Logan pointed to his hips, his eyes, lastly his shoulders. Setting his face James nodded and looked up at Chuck as he got to his feet and kick out at James.
In a flash James swept his leg out from under him and kicked him in the face as he got to his feet. Bringing his leg high to hold it he brought it down on Chucks back then took a step back as Chuck leapt up. They looked at each other than Chuck attacked with a punch and found himself flipped onto his back by James.
Back on his feet again Chuck moved to attack but was stopped as James hit him with a side kick, a crescent kick, and finally a spin kick. Stepping forward to punch him Chuck blocked it then punched James in the side and flipped James onto his back. As he moved to strike James, Chuck was met by James feet as he rolled back onto his feet where he blocked a hook punch.
In a flash James locked out that arm and began hitting Chuck again and again in the stomach and chest. After delivering powerful elbow to Chucks face James raised his hand to strike again then paused. Slowly he released Chucks arm then gave him a light push causing Chuck to fall flat on his back.
Logan smiling walked out onto the mat as the people cheered but before he reached him James wheeled around a strange glint in his eyes. "DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME?" James demanded of the crowd.
Pausing Logan looked back at the crowd before looking at James again as he shouted out, "My name is James Edwards Adams, and I am gay and I'm not ashamed! Now does anyone else have a problem with me?"
Logan looked back at the crowd around him as they looked at one another some looking uncomfortable. "Actually that's a question I'd like to have answered, does anyone here have a problem with either James being gay or Peter being autistic," he said.
"I don't have a problem with it, do you?" Kimberly said, looking at Tommy and Jason.
"Nope,"
"None here,"
"Me neither," Aisha said, crossing her arms.
"My old sifu taught me it takes all sorts to make the world we live in," Trini said.
"I'm cool with it," Zack said shrugging.
"I have a cousin who's gay, she's one of my best friends," Rocky said.
"My old Sensei is gay," Adam said.
Then slowly one by one people spoke up saying they didn't have a problem and Logan looked at James as his tearful mother embraced him. As she held him she opened her eyes and caught sight of Logan and mouthed 'thank you'. Logan waved it off and signaled the cops.
"Here's your man," he said, to them and they lifted a moaning Chuck off the mat as Logan went with Kimberly back to the stage while Chuck's friends made a desecrate exit.
"Now that the unpleasantries over with let's get to that other song I was going to dedicate to these boys. Because right now it seems more fitting than before," he said, as Kimberly picked up the right guitar and began strumming the right tune.
"Never Surrender!
You were born a fighter
In the bird a mighty warrior
Driven by desire
Glory calls, it's waiting for you.
When they try to break you down
You can take it
That don't shake you
When your backs against the wall
The thrill of the fights
Got you standing tall
Never surrender
Never say die
You've got the heart of a hero
Never surrender
The will to survive
Your standing strong
In the eye of the storm
Something keeps pushing you on
To Never surrender
Never surrender
There's a burning passion
Deep inside a silent power
With a quick reaction
Lightning strikes, you fight for honor
l ]
Winners have a price to pay
You can taste it
That don't change it
Your not there to take the fall
You'll fight til the end
And you'll take it all
Never surrender
Never say die
You've got the heart of a hero
Never surrender
Keep it alive
Your standing strong
In the eye of a storm
Something keep pushing you on
To Never surrender
Never surrender
You'll never stop till you number one
It's only a matter of time
You'll never give up
You'll never run
Your layin your life on the line
Never surrender
Never surrender
Never say die
Don't stop
Never surrender
Got the will to survive
Never surrender
Don't stop
Never surrender!" he finished and the crowd went alive a good portion looking over at Peter and James.
"Let's hear it for the Heroes!" Tommy said, standing and the crowd roared its approval.
