At Elliott's school the bell the 12 o' clock bell rang signaling that lunch had begun. Elliott went into his locker to put up his backpack and when he opened it a folded up note flew in the air.

[Elliott (in his head)] "Okay, that's either from a secret admirer or that jerk Murray."

Murray, the school bully had been targeting Elliott lately. It was mostly because he had became invested with space and science (Seeing how ET was living with them now). Elliott unfolded the paper and it said "You're a nerd". He crinkled up the paper and threw it away. He entered the cafeteria and once the line got to the food he got a slice of pizza, an orange, and a carton of milk. Once he sat down one of his classmates, Vincent, sat next to him.

[Vincent] "So let me guess, Murray sent you a letter again, didn't he?"

[Elliott] "Yep. Man, I don't know what the deal with that guy is."

[Vincent] "Me neither."

As Elliott was eating his lunch he started to hear Murray harassing a kid on the other side of the lunch room. He wanted to help the kid but he knew anyone who tried to stand up to Murray would end up getting a fistful of him. Once he finished his lunch he walked to the area where lunch trays are put to be washed. However, he didn't notice that Murray was walking towards him doing the same. Elliott was walking a little slow so Murray shoved Elliott out of the way.

[Murray] "Speed up, dweeb."

Elliott knew he shouldn't have done it but something deep inside of him told him to do something.

[Elliott] "What do you have against me? Against everyone like me?"

Murray stopped in his tracks and turned around with a pleased look on his face. This made Elliott feel uneasy.

[Murray] "Well dweeb, you nerds are easy targets for me. Why else do you think kids like me pick on kids like you in the movies? And speaking of which, I haven't gotten any lunch money from you this week yet."

[Elliott] "I don't have any, Murray."

[Murray] "Well, you know what that means."

He then pulled out his arm with his hand balled into a fist. Elliott tried to block it but he accidently smacked Murray in the face as a result. There were a few gasps around the two. Elliott had the face of a deer at the headlights and Murray had a raged look in his eyes.

[Elliott] "Oh no, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it, I was just trying to-"

Murray grabbed onto Elliott's shirt caller.

[Murray] "That's not gonna cut it dweeb. You, me, the blacktop, after school, Friday, I'm gonna make you wish you were never born."

Murray left at that. Everyone looked at Elliott and he just stood there almost petrified. Vincent walked over to him.

[Vincent] "That doesn't sound good."

[Elliott] "Mmm-hmm!"

Later that day at dinner, Elliott had told ET, Gertie, Michael, and Mary everything that happened and how he was panicing.

[Michael] "Why don't we just make a report to the police?"

[Elliott] "Well he hasn't done anything to be arrested. And besides, once he'd be free, he'd make things worse for me."

[Gertie] "Then on Friday, you should give him a giant punch on the nose."

As Gertie said she clenched a fist. However Mary put the fist down as she said-

[Mary] "No Gertie. Elliott, you shouldn't be violent to him, two wrongs don't make a right."

[Elliott] "What should I do then? If I don't do anything my blood will end up becoming a red river."

ET decided he had to say something, so he raised his hand up singling for everyone to be quiet, even though no one was saying anything at the moment. Once he knew everyone was going to let him speak he said what he needed to say.

[ET] "I know of a way to help you Elliott. It's something my people have used for centuries for self defense."

[Elliott] "Really ET, thanks buddy, you're a life saver. So how does it work?"

[ET] "Here, try to hit me."

[Elliott] "Oookay."

ET then looked end at Elliott. Elliott tried to hit him but before he could make contact with ET his fist somehow flew back towards Elliott's side. He tried again but the same thing happened. ET then smiled at his amazed friend.

[ET] "Training starts after dinner."

After cleaning up, ET and Elliott went into their room to start training. They both put a big blanket on the ground as a makeshift foam mat.

[ET] "Before we start the lessons, you must repeat what I do and say until I say stop."

[Elliott] "Okay."

So ET put his left arm up by his elbow and made an "okay" single with his hand, Elliott doing the exact same.

[ET] "I promise and swear-" [Elliott] "I promise and swear-"

[ET] "To use this power-" [Elliott] "To use this power-"

[ET] "For only self defense-" [Elliott] "For only self defense-"

[ET] "And not for revenge." [Elliott] "And not for revenge."

ET then bowed down his head and Elliott did the same.

[ET] "Okay, the first thing you need to learn is to block projecting objects."

ET then used his telekinetic powers to throw pencils at Elliott. Elliott had a feeling he knew what he had to do. He waved this hand and the pencils feel to the floor but ET rose the pencils up again. Elliott thought blocking them with his hand must've not been the right way to do it. So when the pencils flew to him again he ducked his head. Elliott thought that must've been the way to do it but ET had a bit of an annoyed look on his face.

[Elliott] "Okay, is there something I'm missing here?"

[ET] "You're suppose to throw the objects back with your mind."

[Elliott] "But I don't have telekinetic powers like you do."

[ET] "I'm aware of that. But that's why you need to take the hits until you learn to stop it with your mind."

So Elliott kept on taking it until he could use this power. Eventually he didn't feel the pencils hit him in the face. He looked down to see they fell inches from his face. He looked at ET and he was smiling meaning that the training was working. The next time it happened nothing changed, the second next time nothing changed, but after the third next time, the pencils feel down a little farther away from his face. It kept on repeating except the pencils feel farther and farther away from Elliott. The next time it happened Elliott actually froze it while in flight.

[ET] "Okay, now blow them back towards me."

Elliott didn't know what to do at first but once he moved his face closer to the pencils they actually moved flew at ET and they feel to the floor before they hit him. Elliott was in shock and disbelieve. Elliott was going to ask ET what's next but then ET said-

[ET] "We're gonna have to get to bed soon, but tomorrow after school we will continue our training."

So for the next two days Elliott was being trained for what he called "Kung-Space-Fu" seeing how this was an extremely galactic version Kung-Fu. The next thing he learned was how to be able to duck any attacks. What he had to do was run as fast as he could away to the approaching fist. It took a while for him to get the memo but eventually, he was able to move out of the way of any of ET attacks in a literal split second. The next-next thing Elliott needed to learn was to grab onto limb for throwing the attacker. It took longer because Elliott was a little too weak. However, he found his strength and the throwing became much easier. Finally at Thursday evening ET told Elliott that he needed to learn one more thing.

[Elliott] "What is it? Am I learning how to make someone flout in mid-air?"

[ET] "No, the last thing you need to know is, never get frustrated."

[Elliott] "Why?"

[ET] "Because any man can get angry while fighting a foe or a dragon, but the man who can stay calm in the face of any adversary is the one who most often wins. Sometimes the stronger blow isn't the one who wins, but the one who sees the weak points in the heat of the heaviest fastest battle does."

[Elliott] "Wow, that's deep."

[ET] "Well my student, you're finally ready."

(The Next Day)

The school bell that signaled the end of the day had rung. Some kids went on the bus on their way home. Others went to the back of the building waiting for the big fight. Murray was already there, waiting for Elliott to arrive. He knew Elliott wasn't going to bail on their fight, no matter how scared he was. Murray was right about Elliott showing up, he was just wrong about him being scared. Elliott, ET, and Michael were at the back entrance. ET, in his disguise was planning to watch the fight where he was. Elliott was about to enter but Michael put his hand on Elliott's shoulder.

[Michael] "Are you sure you want to do this, man?"

[Elliott] "I don't really have a choice Michael. And besides, I've gone too far to throw in the towel now."

Michael backed away. Elliott then entered the blacktop and faced Murray.

[Murray] "Well looked who decided to show up?"

[Elliott] "I'm not afraid of you, Murray."

[Murray] "Well once we're done here, you're going to be, dweeb."

So then some kid hit a dong with a mallet, signaling that the fight had begun. Murray was the first one to hit a punch, Elliott starred straight at the fist to block it with his mind-

*PUNCH

Elliott felt has face to see if he got any injuries but he was fine. He wondered why the skill ET taught him wasn't working but when Murray went in for another punch Elliott decided to use his ducking but that didn't work either. Elliott actually got a black eye that time.

[Elliott (in his head] "Why isn't any of the training working?"

He then remembered that ET told him that the training must only be used for self-defense and not for revenge. Elliott realized he was using them for revenge out of fear. The only thing he could think of to do is run away. Unfortunately, Murray was hot on his tail.

[Murray] "Running isn't gonna save you, dweeb!"

Elliott was running as fast as he could but he knew he'd run out of energy eventually. He eventually hit behind a dumpster, hoping no one would find him.

[Murray] "Come out where ever you are…"

Vincent mistakenly joined the picture to correct Murray.

[Vincent] "I don't mean to interrupt but I think you're suppost to say "come out" twice when you use that line.

Murray turned around with a twisted smile on him.

[Murray] "Well if that dweeb isn't going to stop hiding, I guess I might as well punch the lights out of you."

[Vincent] "I didn't say that."

[Murray] "I know you didn't, I did."

Elliott was looking at all of this. He felt guilt, because of his fears of facing Murray, Vincent was going to get hurt. He wanted to feel angry but he remembered what ET said.

[ET (in Elliott's head)] "Any man can get angry while fighting a foe or a dragon, but the man who can stay calm in the face of any adversary is the one who most often wins."

Just then a huge amount of energy went into him. He ran in the speed of a rabbit towards Murray who was still approaching slowly towards Will.

[Elliott (shouting)] "Hey Murray!"

[Murray] "Well, well, well. Looked who decided to come out of hid-"

*THROW *SLAM

Murray had been thrown to the concrete ground. He picked himself up and looked straight at Elliott.

[Murray] "You didn't just do that."

He threw yet another fist at Elliott but this time the training was working, before the fist hit him, it was blown back at Murray's face. Everyone watching gasped at what happened. Murray tried again but Elliott moved behind him in a split second, much to his dismay.

[Elliott] "Are you done, or have you not seen enough yet?"

[Murray] "I don't know what kind of witch craft you've been doing, but it's not going to save you this time, dweeb."

Murray tried to grab one of Elliott's legs but Elliott did the same to one of his legs first. Elliott lifted Murray up and threw him in the dumpster from before. He climbed out of the dumpster breathing heavily. He looked at Elliott and said-

[Murray] "I'd try to punch you again but I feel like I might pass ou-"

Before he could finish he fell to the ground. One of the kids watching ran to Murray to check on him.

[kid] "He's out cold. Well, it looks like Elliott Taylor won!"

Everyone that watched the fight walked closer to Elliott all cheering. Vincent walked to Elliott and padded his back.

[Vincent] "Thanks for saving me, dude."

[Elliott] "Don't mention it, man. I just jumped right in to it and showed him what he was up against."

[Vincent] "Well, you just made a friend for life."

The cheering went on and later that day back at home, Elliott was putting a frozen stake at his black eye. Both him and ET were sitting in the back porch.

[Elliott] "Mom said this would help my black eye, I think it's starting to work."

[ET] "I've taught you well, my student. I'd give you one of those marsh-all arts belts but we don't have any."

[Elliott] "Well, we could say this frozen meat on my face is the symbol of Kung-Space-Fu."

They laughed at the joking statement and bowed their heads down in unison.

Sorry this episode came late. I'm gonna try to take a little break from this series for a little bit to finally get back on track with my YouTube series, so at least this time you understand my I'd be quiet here for a while.
