Chapter 6 - training montage

"Okay, you guys ready!" Andrew said while standing right in the middle of some makeshift training grounds from some shonen manga.

"The hell is all of this?" Arthur asked.

"Yeah the fuck were you doing out there?" Billy added.

"This is where I'm gonna train you guys just in case we run into those guys again" Andrew explains to all of us.

"Hey I ain't a part of any of this. I'm outta here.." Arthur turns around.

"Oh no you fucking don't. Get your ass back here NOW!" Andrew demands.

Arthur walks back in shame. Crossing his hands and pouting like some romcom.

"Anyway.. Everyone! I'm not the only one who's gonna train you, I got my two homegirls to help me out here. Meet Hannah, and Sarah!"

Arthur's face turns a little red.

"Jesus Christ there are enough of us already. We don't need two more" Arthur complains.

"Well at least it ain't a total sausage fest" I say.

"Silence!!" one of them yelled.

We all straighten up a little bit. Who knows what they'll do to us if we don't.

"Hannah, calm down, they're just kids.." Sarah tells off Hannah, who loosens up a bit.

"Where'd you find them?" I ask.

"I met them at a martial arts class, a little while ago" Andrew responded.

"Was all this before, or after the whole juvie fiasco?" Ethan asked after me.

"Wait. you went to juvie?" Sarah inquired. Gotta use more words than "asked" good grief.

"Haha.. no I didn't, they're lying RIGHT?!" Andrew looked straight at us. Signaling that if we don't comply he'll literally kill us.

"Y-yeah sure man.." We both said, knowing we couldn't do anything about it.

Arthur begins to say: "Welp, if you're gonna train us. Then get to it I don't all day h-" but almost instantly, Hannah bolted to him, pushed him to the ground and put him in a head lock. Having him tap out before he passes out.

"Listen here squirt" Hannah states like a cornball.

"you gotta stay alert at all times, or shit like this can happen"

"Yo, is bro good?" I asked Sarah.

"Yeah he'll be okay, maybe a little sore but that's it" Sarah answered.

"Stand up straight soldiers!!" Hannah demands from us. With everyone complying instantly.

"You guys are honestly scrawny as shit. Especially that emo one over there.." Hannah begins with. "So it's gonna take a while before you guys can go tow-to-tow with full grown men. I think you guys got potential though"

"What's the point in all of this if we can just use weapons against them?" I asked, confused.

"Weapons are fine, but this is more interesting, and we don't want to out-gun the rich" Andrew explains.

"Ehh, fair enough. It would be pretty sick to know some sort of martial arts" It would also make this story more interesting in my opinion. I said the latest line in case you didn't know.

"Aight, teach me tomboy. What 'chu got for me" I say while gesturing to her to come at me with all she has.

"Nope. you're not taking this seriously at all" Hannah said while crossing her arms and pouting like some anime girl.

"Oh c'mon girl.. I'm taking this as seriously as I can.

Plus I'm not weak like arthur"

"Fuck you" Arhur spat at me.

I thought to myself: "welp, If you're not gonna fight me. Then I'm gonna make you" which in retrospect was not a good idea I know. At the time though, I didn't give two shits, so I full sprinted towards her with all I had. Of course, I got my ass beat for that. It all happened so quickly too. When I got 20cm from her, she swiftly kicked me in the nutsack, having me drop to my knees.

"*barfing noises fucking hell, that ain't fair!!" I scream out in pain and agony.

"What.. I thought you were ready.. Guess not" Hannah teased me with a tiny smirk on her face, pissing me the hell off in the process.

"You can't just kick someone in the balls. That's pussy tactics!!" I tell her, with another kick coming from that.

"Hey.. let's restart and actually start training, we've been doing fuck all for 3 minutes" Andrew demands from these so-called teachers.

"Ok, let's start with.. Ethan! Go ahead into the middle for a sec please" Sarah announces to you know who.

"Oh um.. I'm not built for this kinda thing, sorry.." Ethan says like a wuss.

"Oh shut up wimp! Get your ass over there before I

do something worse to you!" Hannah threatens him into compliance.

"Ok! We're gonna start off with something light to warm up, but first you gotta stretch or else your joints will be bitched for the rest of the day" Hannah explains.

"Um.. Ok I guess. What should I do first?" 

"Can you do a split? It's good if you can't, we'll just do something else" Hannah asks.

"Yes actually, I can"

Ethan goes to the floor like some sort of dancer. Doing a perfect split in the process. Shit was magnificent.

"Holly what the heck?!" Most of us are probably thinking right now from that wonderful, delightful sight we all just read.

"Ok.. that's actually impressive my man, all you gotta do next is try to touch your toes with all 10 fingertips. You think you can handle that?" Hannah says.

Without answering, Ethan does that task flawlessly. He even does it multiple times, even though that doesn't really change anything.

"Aight stop gloating for a sec, let me check something"

Hannah comes up real close to Ethan, a little too close in my opinion. Then sniffs him aggressively which is kanda weird.

I thought she was gonna be a lesbian at first, but

anything is possible.

"Hmm.." Hannah starts thinking out loud, making Ethan sweat a little. Don't know why though.

"W-what are you doing?" Arthur asked, finally on his feet again.

"Just checking something.. Anyway who said you could stand back up?!" 

"Hey stop bullying him, he's like 12 I think" Sarah comes to lil' bro's defense.

"Ayy whatever, anyway Lukas! Come over here!" Hannah demands.

I walk over there, standing right next to Ethan and say: "what 'chu need me for?"

"Is his name really Ethan?' she asked with genuine curiosity.

"Uh, yeah? What else would it be?" I respond with.

"Oh. nothing, just checking. You done stretching?" Hannah says to Ethan.

"I've been done for a while now.." 

"Great.. I want you guys to beat the shit outta eachother"

"WHAT?!" We both scream simultaneously.

"You heard me. Beat. the living piss. Outta eachother"

We both look at each other, not knowing what to do. Neither of us wanted to get our ass beat again though,

so we squared up, ready to throw hands.

 "Ok, I-I won't go too hard on-" before Ethan could even finish what he said, I hit him with the craziest right hook. Sending him to the ground.

"Ok.. the form is fine, but too predictable. Someone experience could block that a mile away" Hannah criticized my perfect right hook.

"W-wait! Hold on! I'm not ready for this! Also, that punch was crazy" Ethan pleaded with us.

"Yeah that was kinda unexpected from someone as scrawny as you. You sure you've never done some sort of steroid" Sarah disrespectively chimed in.

"I don't know, I'm just naturally strong. Also, why was steroids the first conclusion you had there" I defended myself.

"Well I mean, at least we won't have to go to the gym for this one. The others probably need a lot of work though" Andrew reasoned with. 

"Hey! I'm not that weak!" both Arthur and Ethan said. Acting like they both didn't get folded instantly.

"Ok so.. Can you guys actually start teaching me some sick material arts or are we all just gonna stand here without dicks in our hands?" I said, getting frustrated and annoyed.

"Ok. you wanna learn something you impatient little shit. Never initiate the fight. Let the other party try to get the first blood so you can catch them off guard" Hannah explained.

"Ok, so I just sit there like I'm batman thinking I'm cool or something?" I ask.

"Yeah, pretty much. Gotta show off in case someone's watching too" Hannah said.

"Yeah, it makes sense. Can I go round two on Ethan real quick?" I ask.

"R-round two?!" I think you can figure out who said that. Don't need to spell it out every time.

"Yeah.. like round two of fighting? The fuck did you think I was talking about?" I say genuinely confused.

"Oh, yeah that… wait no! You're just gonna crush me! Lemme fight Arthur or something!" Ethan pleaded like a bitch.

"Yo guys think I'm on andrews le-" 

"Fuck no! Not even close!" Hannah and Sarah both said I could even finish my own sentence.

"Damn not even a little?" I ask for some crumbs sir~~ just a little bit.

They explained how much this guy trained in martial arts for years with the both of them, being top of the students there, and how I wouldn't even be able to land a hit with my amateur skills. This dude is getting dick road left and right holy!

"Aight jesus I get it, good grief you guys rambled on

For like five minutes!" I tell them which flustered these people all flustered. Like girl, you did this to yourself, I had no part in this.

"Well I mean he deserves it~" Sarah says while blushing a little which, good for you this man is hot!

We then begin some sort of reaction time training, which was so boring that we can just skip this part and get into something more juicy. What I will say is that I may have a horrible reaction time.. Look man I just get distracted easily it's not my fault.

Then.. It was time.. For the main thing we did.. *drumroll … *suspense a boxing tournament! Look, I know that we're doing martial arts right now. But, I don't care. Boxing sounds way more fun awayway.

First round: Arthur vs. Billy

"I'm boutta fucking destroy you!" Arthur taunted Billy already.

"If I win this, your girlfriend is mine" Billy shot back with a crazy response.

Arthur all of a sudden, came out with a couple light jabs to start us off with. For the record, I was betting on Arthur while Ethan obviously wanted Billy to win.

"The fuck you mean girlfriend. I'm her caretaker. Nothing more" Arthur just shot himself in the leg with that one. Holy shit.

Maria looked down after that comment. I take everything I said back this lil' guy got no game. Not taking a bullet for this guy anymore. Nope. Noda.

Billy responded with a clean punch straight into Arthur's jaw, getting blood on his hands a little.

"With those words, It sounds like you wouldn't care if I took her then? Would you.." Billy was getting more and more cold by the second. makes me want to go back in time and leave his bitch as with his family where he belongs.

"Dude do you even fucking hear youself?!" Arthur was starting to get emotional. "It's like you don;t even care about anyone! Romance is not what any of us need right now!!" He then hits him with a dense kick in the stomach, making billy puke a little.

Billy responded to that with a headbutt, fuckinf up both of their heads in the process. 

"H-hannah! Stop them! Please!" Sarah pleaded with her. But Hannah didn't give two fucks.

"Oh stop, this is juicy as hell. Would you bet on Lukas?"

"Oh, Arthur. What about you?"

"Same here"

"Tight"

"God, ever since you got here, you've been causing problems for all of us. You should just go back to where

you came from!" Arthur said which I promise is not racist. We're all white here anyway.

"HOW DARE YOU!!" Billy raised his voice "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HORRORS I'VE SEEN!!" Billy then tackles him to the ground, punching him as hard as he can into Arthur's cheek.

"I bet your life has been oh so cushy with this big ass warehouse as your house, and someone who cares about you! I bet you've never had any actual hardship you pompous faggot!!"

"Whoa there lil' guy! I think he's done. Can't believe he just took that" Andrew told a shaking and crying Billy. "Billy wins the first round continue with the second round while I tend to Arthur"

Andrew goes back inside with Arthur in his arms and with all of us not knowing what to do next.

 "Okay.. Me and lukas are next I guess.."

Second round: Lukas and Sarah

"Okay, you ready lil'l man" Saarch tries to get under my skin.

"Oh shush up!" I playfully say, not taking any of this seriously, even a little.

She comes to me with a left hook, but I dodge that shit. Guess the reflex training worked a little. I proceed to jab her in the stomach with two fingers. That caused her to back up for a second and recuperate.

"Yeah! This is boxing, not a street fight!" Sarah complains.

"Aight fine, would to it agai-" she comes at me with a surprise attack, which consists of a couple jabs, and an uppercut. Luckily I block all of them and take two steps back, so I can get some wiggle room.

"Yeah, fuck you for that. Gonna play dirty now" I say while launching myself at her with the craziest dropkick you will ever see.

She then leases out two kicks that somehow hit me in the head. I'm talking like she got on her hands, did something close to a handstand, and kicked the shit outta my face really hard.

I was starting to see stars at this very point. I couldn't give up though. So I powered through with a sorta finishing move from a fighting game. If this didn't work, I'd be fucked. You wanna know if that attack did anything at all. Well guess what.. NOPE!!!

She tanked that shit like it was nothing. I mean, I put my whole entire body into that, and she just took it without hesitation.

"Shit.." I say before she demolishes my face with her face. Making her the clear winner.

"Oh sorry there.. You okay?" Sarah asks me knowing damn well the answer.

"Y'know, we should probably stop now, you guys 

are taking this a little too seriously" Ethan chimed it, clearly not wanting to run his face like the rest of us. That little wuss.

"Yeah probably, well now what do we do?" Sarah pondered.

"Pizza." Billy said while looking down and out.

"Y-yo I want pizza" I say, trying to speak as best as I can with my face all fucked up.

So.. we um, order pizza and shit. And that's it. End of chapter. Shit was not my best work, trust me I know.
