Adamas Adam

"Adamas Adam"

"I have told you this before and I will tell you as many times as it needed. Our world is on a very dangerous state, and Tesla is the one who ruined it. Our society, no... Even your family, your community, and soon, this entire world, will be crumbles into ashes. How many people? How many people have to get drugged by this invention? Then, how many more people need to join all this madness until we realize this world is collapsing?! His "New World" as he called it, could bring destruction, could bring annihilation to humanity! This is why; this is why his invention should be ban and, whoever use it should be imprisoned! Then, for all machines that already used, should be destroyed! Therefore, the new policy should be established, and the new emperor should be elected"

"Me! I am as the descendant of Helios, will bring peace and justice to this world, and make the sun above you shine again!

"At the very least his mouth could fly like his father's head" said an old man standing on the side of the door. His face filled with wrinkles and his nose had giving up on gravity, but his smile just as strong as his prime days.

"Grandpa, I did not hear you come in" said a young man who sits in front of a radio. His thick eyebrow lifted, with a touch of light outside the window, his eyes glow like sun sapphire and his dark skin complement the look. Crowned with black soft lush hair, which is long enough to be tied around his shoulder.

"How long you going to sit there and listen to that long jaw's oration? I thought you were ready! Your hands is not even wrapped yet!" the old man said with gravelly voice and a deep breath between the line.

"We are not playing games here Adam, this fight is really important to you, to your mother; and you know that. Imagine the first line on the newspaper tomorrow!" the old man continues, waving his hand back and forth.

"Adamast Adam, the first man that ascend to heaven!" he smiles, looking at the ceiling with his finger wide open in front of his face.

"That sounds more like a dying line to me." Adam chuckled while wrapping his hand with a thick long strip cloth.

"Ha-ha... Hem... ugh... let me help you with that" he said while reaching Adam's hand.

"Do you comfortable?"

"How can I not?" Adam smile.

"Good, good. Look, don't be surprise, but I just saw your father on the crowd; and he looks pretty intense"

"What is he doing here?" Adam's voice rising.

"I don't know son, I don't know"

"And my mother, what does she says?"

"She says nothing, but her eyes says more than I could explain"

"Uh... to think about it, maybe I should've not told you this. However, I just don't want you to be surprised on the ring" the old man laughing.

"And to make it worst, he also sits on the other side"

"Hm..." Adam muttered softly.

"Yes, I guess you beat this guy so hard last time he need some help from your father. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Does that bothering you?

"No, not at all"

"Hah, that's my boy. Ugh... so, are you ready!?" continue the old man, slapping the back of Adam's hand.

"To be the best to ever do it!" said Adams, showing his fist.

"To be the greatest to ever do it!" bumping his fist to Adam's.

"To be the one that ascend to heaven!" as their voice reach the ceiling.

"Ladies and gentleman, this is the Mix Martial Art World Tournament Main Event. The final fight of the year...!"

The announcer voice slowly faded away from Adam's head as his eyes locked with his opponent. A man which much bigger and taller than him.

"Presenting, on the red corner!" the announcer voice back to Adam and wake him up from the hypnotizing look of his opponent.

"23 year old from Paradise, wearing blue trunk with white trim, weight at 147 lbs, standing tall 77 inches, with tournament record; 26 wins, 2 losses. Joe...'The Spinning Kick' Kenzo!!!"

"Woo-hooo! Hail the king!" the crowd cheering from their lungs.

"Fighting... in the blue corner, 18 year old from Bumi city, wearing black trunk with golden trim, weight at 148 lbs, standing tall 70 inches. Two times world champion, undisputed, undefeated with 29 wins, no loss. The young general! Adamas 'The First....' Adam!"

"Kill, Kill, Kill"

"Kill those Adamas bastard!" the crowd started to yell from their lungs.

"Fight hard and fight clean. Protect yourself at all times, and listen to my command. Touch gloves now if you wish to" said the ref, yet none of the two fighter wave their gloves.

"All right back to your corner"

****

Both fighters move their body to the centre of the octagon. A few punches thrown to feel the distance. Low kicks swinging from Joe to Adams leg as Adam try to push him to the cage. Both of his hands cover his head perfectly but his legs are wide open. Another whip from Joe hitting the side of Adam's knee, however his eyes keep circling through the loud audience, looking for the familiar face that he would recognize.

A few exchanges to the face, Adam struck Joe's chin really fast and followed by a hook to the side of his head. Joe gets pushed back down a little bit. Both fighters are circling each other again, trying to feel the distance. Until Adam's eyes reach a familiar face on Joe's corner. Looking at him with a sharp eye that would reminds him the pain of breathing and suffering. The same feeling that brought him to where he is right now; as a big hand suddenly wakes him up from his memories.

"Adam! Focus, focus!" yell his grandpa on the side of the ring.

Adam forced to go back as another jab passing his guard followed by a left hook that ringing his ears, pushing him to back down further to the cage. But in one second, Adam put all of his weight on his back feet, and launch an elbow straight to Joe's face, forcing Joe's to take some distance.

"Not bad" says Adam.

Another slow punch gets thrown again from both fighters. Joe back on hitting Adam's leg until a sudden kick ram Adam's rib from the side, putting him fall to his knee. Followed with flying knee from Joe toward Adam's head, but he rolled to the side and back stand up again.

"Where are you looking at, next time you put your eyes away, you will be dead!" Joe said showing his golden teeth protection.

"I see my father on your corner. Good call since I beat your face twice" Adam said with big smile on his face.

"Kill him brother!" yell Joe's little brother outside the ring.

"Kind of sad that I got your father love more than you, ha?" said Kenzo while circling around Adam.

"Shut your mouth!" yell Adam charging toward Joe.

Joe then greet him with fake low kick that suddenly reach high to the head, but Adam dodge it and drop his body low and whip Joe's knee pit with his leg. Joe fall, but Adam already moves right to his face and punch Joe right on his nose and eyes, hit him with the right hand until Joe fall to the canvas. Joe then forced to covering, until he grabs both Adam's leg and pulls it to his body, making Adam fall on his back. Then right after, jump at him and sit on his stomach, raining punches toward Adam's face.

Adam moves his head left and right with both of his hand covering his face. Then all of sudden grab Joe's head that getting to close to him, and strike it with his elbow. Joe's eyebrow starts leaking blood. Adam use the opportunity to sit, holding to Joe's hand and stand back again. Both fighters then measure their distance.

Five minutes has passed. Both fighters locked eyes each other and their breath getting heavier. Joe then decided to move toward Adam again. Punch him slowly to push him to the cage, waiting for an exchange. But a kick hit Joe's leg like a whip, strong enough to move him the side. Joe then tries to kick Adam side, but Adam blocked it with his elbow.

"What happen, no spinning kick today?" Adam said waving his hand.

"Don't worry, you will get yours" said Joe while catching his breath.

"I hope it better than the last one" Adam said.

But Joe did not answer it; a front kick hit Adams stomach, pushing him back.

"Come on" Adam said again moving toward Joe. But another front kick hit his stomach again.

"Come on!" Adam yells at loud charging toward Joe that suddenly spins his body. A kick flew right to Adam chin. But as he ducks his head, his shoulder blocks it.

"Not impressive" Adam said, looking at his father with both hand open.

Smiling, his father looks at Adam pointing him with a finger gun, making Adam's smile fade slowly.

"Fathe-" Adam said, but his voice gets cut as Joe's heel devastated his skull and almost fully twisted his head from the back. Adam blacked out; falling with his chin hit the canvas.

                                                                                                  ****

The referee rushed toward Adam as Joe takes a few steps back and raising his hand.

"He is dead, he is dead! I kill him!" Joe yells to the crowd.

"I am the man who did it!" Joe continues while pointing gun finger to his head.

"You are the one who did it! The king!" the crowd praise him back with the same motion.

But just a moment before the referee hands reach Adam, suddenly Adam stood up again. So fast that the referee does not realizing it.

"Adam, are you okay? Can you continue the fight?" ask the referee; however Adam's eyes locked blank to the canvas and blood keep dripping from his nose. Then slowly, his breathing sounds faded away.

"Sir, I did it. I did it the way you told me!" says Joe to his corner.

"No you did not. Look at your back" Adam father says. Joe then looks at his back and sees Adam freeze on the other side.

"This bastardo" Joe said back to the center of the ring.

Joe move toward Adam who his eyes still locked to the canvas. First punch was thrown by Joe right to Adam's head, but Adam dodges it with ease and grab Joe's wrist; then pull it toward him. With the momentum, Adam's elbow rams Joe's rib, strong enough as the sound of cracking can be heard on the air. Followed by his finger that suddenly buried deep between the bridges on Joe's neck, making him chocked for a moment. Within a sec, Adam's hand has wrapped Joe's head from the back. With a single push, Adam brings Joe's head toward the canvas and slams it to his knee. Joe fall to the canvas with his face cover by bloods,

"Oh no... stop the fight, stop the fight!" yell grandpa, hitting the cage.

Yet, as the referee look back at Adam, Adam already twist Joe's knee with both of his hand.

"Do it!" said his father.

In single stomp, Adam silences the building. Joe's leg split in half as Adam's foot axe it right on the knee. The crowd stunned and the room oddly quite, except for a single man who his clap filling the room.
