Ch 5
Daniel was finally stepping away from the makeshift ring, the echoes of the crowd's cheers for his victory over Hammer still ringing in his ears.
He just wanted a shower and maybe a late-night snack before his shift at the club.
Daniel (Enigma)
*Alright, time to head to club . Another night, another win.*
Suddenly, a figure strutted out of the shadows, blocking his path with an air of entitlement. It was Gun.
Gun (Enigma)
Hold it right there, winner.
Daniel (Enigma)
One again?
Daniel (Enigma)
(turns around to look) * a kid *
Daniel (Enigma)
You're a kid," Daniel said, his voice laced with hesitant concern. "You shouldn't be here."
Daniel's tone was laced with concern, looking at Gun's youthful appearance.
Gun (Enigma)
* Gun's eyes narrowed, a flicker of pure rage igniting within them. Kid? he thought, his blood boiling. I'll break every bone in his body for that.*
Gun (Enigma)
Kid"? You think you're so much better than me just because you won a little street brawl?
Gun's arrogance was dripping from his words, a sneer practically visible.
Daniel (Enigma)
I'm just saying, this isn't a playground for someone your age. Go home before you get hurt.
Gun (Enigma)
Hurt? Please. I'm the one who does the hurting. I'll bet ten thousand on myself right now. Let's see who's the "kid" then.
A collective gasp went through the small group of remaining spectators. Ten thousand was a fortune in this underground scene.
person 1
Ten thousand?! Is he crazy?
person 4
(Whispering) That's more than I make in a year!
Daniel (Enigma)
Ten thousand? You're serious? You don't have to do this. Just walk away.
Gun (Enigma)
"Don't tell me what to do," he snarled, his voice a low, menacing growl.
Gun (Enigma)
Walk away? Never. I'm going to wipe that smug look off your face. Get ready to lose your money.
The fight began. Gun charged with a reckless confidence, throwing powerful, untrained blows.
Gun (Enigma)
* He's slower than I thought. This will be easy.*
Gun, blinded by arrogance, saw only a slender figure, someone he assumed would be easily defeated. Even though they were physically similar, their height and weight matching, Gun's pride made him underestimate Daniel.
Daniel, though wary of Gun's arrogance, fought with his usual calculated precision, easily dodging the wild attacks.
Daniel (Enigma)
He's strong, but sloppy. All brute force, no technique.
Daniel landed a sharp jab, catching Gun off guard.
Gun (Enigma)
fu*k , What was that?!
Gun retaliated with a furious kick, which Daniel blocked.
Daniel (Enigma)
He's got raw power, I'll give him that. But he's too headstrong.
Daniel used Gun's momentum against him, a swift counter-attack to Gun's ribs.
Gun stumbled, his body beginning to waver slightly.
Gun (Enigma)
He... he's actually good.
Daniel saw his opening and delivered a final, precise strike to Gun's temple.
Gun (Enigma)
No... I can't...
Gun, accustomed to overwhelming his opponents with raw power, found himself facing a wall of calculated precision.
Gun, his arrogance slowly crumbling, began to realize the gravity of his mistake. Daniel's strength was not brute force, but a honed, lethal grace.
Gun (Enigma)
Gun's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Daniel stared down at him, a deep frown creasing his face.
Daniel (Enigma)
Damn it. I didn't want this. He's just a kid.
Daniel (Enigma)
A wave of guilt washed over Daniel. He knelt down, checking on Gun.
Daniel (Enigma)
I shouldn't have fought him.
Daniel, seeing Gun sprawled on the ground, felt a pang of unexpected guilt. He turned to the referee, his voice laced with concern.
Daniel (Enigma)
Do you know who he is? Where he came from?
ANNOUNCER:
shrugged. "He came alone. I don't know anything about him."
Daniel (Enigma)
Damn it ,
* Daniel thought, a wave of self-reproach washing over him. *
I shouldn't have knocked him out. Silly me.
He looked at the unconscious Gun, a young, powerful enigma, now vulnerable. "
Daniel (Enigma)
Then I'm taking him with me," he said to the referee, his voice firm.
ANNOUNCER:
Suit yourself,
No one's going to claim responsibility for him here.
Daniel gathered his belongings, including the winnings from the fight. He then carefully hoisted the unconscious Gun onto his back and walked to his motorcycle. He secured Gun to the back of the bike and rode off into the night.
