Chapter 3 - No.2 Part two

Jake was looking around and then looked at the entrance to the school, as they were right in front of it, looking into the glass doors. The glass doors were heavily tinted to the point you couldn't see outside. He turned and noticed a group of four people walking towards them. "Yea they are the apartments I spoke of. Why? Do they not count as one?" Komodo replied and he also noticed the group of four heading for them. Komodo's eye opened wider, as Macy noticed, and he called to the group. "Jamie! Hudson! Jeremy! Katie!" He shouted loudly in his raspy and deep, energetic voice making him coughed in the after effect. One of the people apart of the squad,Katie, waved at Komodo with a large smile on her face making Amy's hand turn white with jealousy.

When the four people reached them Komodo introduced them. "So these are my friends that I made along the way while being here." Komodo said making a gesture to the four people. "That one is Jamie," he pointed at a tall 6ft, red haired girl with purple gemstone earrings and a face that spoke business. "She's a bit of a hand full, but she's really nice when you get to know her." He then tapped his finger onto another one. "Then we have Hudson. He's a giant of a man coming at a height of 6'8, but his strength isn't all he has. He's extremely smart and capable of making weapons from scrap. His blond-orangey hair is amazing though by the way." Komodo continued looking down at Hudson with a knowing looking making Hudson turn to Macy with a curious expression that read, "is he always like this?" Komodo then turned to a smaller man whose height was the same as Amy and had glasses on. His short unkept brown hair with a medium build made him look like nerd in some way making Amy chuckle. "This is Jeremy is the class nerd, but if mostly serous and not always the clown." Komodo remarked with a deep raspy chuckle sending shivers down Jeremy's spine. Komodo stepped sideways letting the blond girl, Katie to talk. "Hello! My name is Katie! I'm six foot eight and I'm Komodo's right hand man." Katie cheered jumping in the air and making Macy join along with her. Jack rolled his eyes disgusted by the thought of Komodo having a girl with the state he's in. Jake however was a little confused by the statement. "Right hand man? So that means she dating Komodo?" He thought with a hint of excitement thinking that Komodo will finally stay away from Amy. "Anyway since the introductions are done why don't you guys meet up at class, I have to show them where to get their uniforms." Komodo said with a hand gesture towards a curving hallway that leads to class. The four people nodded and answered, "As you command Scavenger Komodo." They all then stride away with slightly laughter as they talked about some joke the four couldn't hear.

Komodo then glanced around. His red crimson eye having a faint glow that moved in all directions with precise precision. He glanced down the left hallway in the from middle of the Dormitory and saw what he was looking for. "The sign." He thought. The sign was not so large, but also not so big. It showed the different areas that are in the left hallway. This was the South west side. He then started walking with a smooth grace that made the group speechless. He gestured for them to follow with a finger and they did. "For reasons you should and only know after today, so don't forget. Never go into the girls locker room. Understand?" Komodo said warning as they walked down the south west curve. The walls and ceiling were the same color as the dormitory hall, this made Macy mentally cry in frustration. "Where's the color? The nice school pictures?" She thought to herself while mentally punching a wall. Komodo noticed Macy's mouth twitch with annoyance and chuckled quietly. "I know what you're thinking. Where's the color? Where's the nice pictures? Unfortunately we don't do that here as we don't want people know who we are based off of looks. I don't know why we don't do color either, but I couldn't care less." Komodo said with another chuckle. He then spotted two signs saying, "Men and Women." He then pointed at the signs and said, "There. That's where your uniforms are." He then handed each of them a set of keys each had the number for their locker. "Thanks Komodo!" Macy cheered hoping it wouldn't be anything inappropriate. "Thank you for showing us and telling us." Jack chimed in reluctantly thinking of how pathetic this is. Amy only nodded her thanks and so did Jake. The four then slowly made their way towards the locker room.

When had gotten to the locker area it had split off into two directions. The left was the women's and the right was men's. "Oh well here goes nothing! Come along now Ames!" Macy giggle loudly as she grabbed Amy's hand and pulled her along. When they entered they both saw a bunch of other girls changing, all of them had a 6pack.

The two watched as the two girls sprinted along joyfully and they both gave a reluctant sigh. "Are you going in?" A voice said with a sneer making the two boys turn towards it. "What?" Jack said with irritation. A half smile half anger expression forming on his face like wild fire. Leaning against the side wall of the locker entrance stood a tall, brown haired you with wider than normal dark brown eyes, a stark contrast to Komodo's red crimson one. Although Komodo's eyes were way wider, Jake thought with a laugh. "And what if we don't? Are you going to just stare at us?" Jack retorted with a snicker, his veins protruding out from his head and neck with the tension. The brown haired boy's smile faltered slightly but quickly composed himself and walk towards Jake and Jack. He was the same height as the two boy and stared directly into their eyes like knifes stabbing a pillow. Other students started to notice this and stopped walking. They started to make a half circle around the entrance of the locker. Even the guys in the men's locker peeked their heads out to watch the situation and did the girls, after they put on a tank top and shorts.

Komodo who was sitting in a chair on his phone playing a shooter game heard running footsteps coming towards him and looked up. It was a girl wearing the standard black tank top and shorts for a school uniform running towards him with a concerned looked. "What is it, Jackal Shelly?" Komodo asked calmly standing up from his seat with a prestigious grace. His red crimson eye staring down at the girl named Shelly. Shelly stop sprinting towards Komodo, tripping as she caught herself in his chest. "AH! Super sorry commander!" Shelly blurted out with red cheeks and bowing from the waist down. Komodo only gave a nod of approval and gestured for her to continue. Shelly nodded and instantly composed herself. "Your two friends are about to fight Gerald Hollow." Shelly stated in a monotone manner. She pointed down the southwest hallway towards the locker area where more and more started to students gathered around. Komodo paused at the name. "Gerald? Shouldn't he still be inside the punishment department?" Komodo with a hint of curiosity. Shelly, however, shook her head. "He was released yesterday by General Daniel." She stated mildly. A small smirk coming across her face hidden from Komodo's view. To Shelly this was entertainment. A brawl is very recommended in the school as you are allowed to break their bones and so do they. Unless you're a psychopath and don't care about being broken, much like Gerald. Gerald was very much a psycho as when he and Komodo fought on the first day of the semester Komodo had broken both his legs; arms and cracked his spleen but Gerald still fought with a smile. This didn't freak out Komodo, however, as his body was completely broken. Ribs, Spleen, neck, arms, legs and hips you name it. He even had internal ruptures that were almost fatal if Gerald hadn't fallen unconscious during the fight. It took Gerald five months to recover and was sent to the Punishment Department for disobeying orders after sneaking out from school to drink beer. For Komodo it took a whole year and seven months to finally recover, but during that time he still trained his body to the max despite Kudos's efforts to stop him. Shelly remembered it very well as it was imprinted into her brain when she first came the school after Komodo two days later.

Komodo sighed with reluctance wondering what will happen to Jack and Jake, not that he cared for them albeit just slightly. He remembered feeling the fire burn his body, its flame peeling skin and licking his body as he tried to escape. The steam that emanated off of him showed the severity of the burns when he had got out of the fire pit. The only he felt now a days was hatred and anger. Yea he still loved his friends like a older brother, but the flames inside him burned bright than all things imaginable. He left Shelly's curious gaze on him, not that he could feel anything, and sighed again. "Yes, Shelly? What do you want to say." He said mildly looking at Shelly. Shelly coughed and replied, "Do you think we should stop them? Today is sparring day so shouldn't we keep their limbs intact for that event in class?" Shelly hoped for a kind and sincere response from Komodo as she knew those were his friends. Shelly could imagine Komodo holding Gerald by the scruff and tossing him aside to save his friends with a graceful essence, but that was instantly shattered as she heard Komodo laugh and say, "Nah, let them fight. It will be very painful to watch and also, to say the least, interesting." The tone was nothing Shelly imagined Komodo could produce. It was like merging cruelty, hate, death, betrayal and sadisticness all into one deep and demon like voice. Komodo turned with a chuckle and walked towards the commotion with Shelly skirrying behind him.

Jack stepped forward with a angry expression not fit for a handsome guy towards Gerald, but Jake stopped him with a hand on his shoulder gripping it tightly. "It's not worth our time Jack, let's just forget about it and go change." Jake said calmly while softly shaking his head and trying to pull back Jack. Jack yanked Jake's hand off and strode forward towards Gerald. "Do want to fight? You peice of crap?" Jack spat at Gerald who only chuckled. "Is that a challenge, newbie? I didn't you had it in you." Gerald said calmly in a sinister tone of voice. "If that's the case, I accept the chall," but before Gerald could even finish speaking Jack had thrown and punch at his head. Gerald sighed mentally and he tilted his head sideways dodging the attack with ease as he dug his knee into Jacks stomach. Jack groaned painfully surprised by the attack, but Gerald wasn't done and shifted his body slightly sideways to bring up his hand giving a strong uppercut to the chin. Pain shot through Jack like a bullet and he almost blacked out, but he bit his tongue and slammed his head into Gerald's sending his head down. Gerald smiled as the blow hit him bring his head down. Gerald took two steps back and laughed. "Wowie! You've impressed me! But that's all you can do, isn't it?" Gerald remarked pointed at Jack with a finger. He was right Jack knew. The kick that given to him seconds before had cracked his ribs, not that anyone could tell. Jack knew he had to survive until Gerald surrendered or he passed out from exhaustion, so he needed a plan to make sure he could take down Gerald. Fortunately for Jack he didn't need to do that as Gerald had sprinted towards him with such speed he was already in front of him. Gerald grabbed Jacks head with his left hand and slammed his right fist directly into the temple knocking Jack out temporarily.

Everyone cheered and patted Gerald on the back in congratulations. Gerald only smirked and glanced at Komodo whom he had only noticed until now. Gerald walks over to Komodo, slightly shoving away other his peers just to get to him. Gerald finally got to Komodo and stood in front of him. The crowd instantly went silent as the two men stared at each other. Gerald stared up at Komodo with intensity that burned so deep it could melt metal, but Komodo's eyes were burning much brighter than Gerald's. It was like staring in a endless fire that even all the elements feared, lava was the one. It was an endless stream of Lava. Gerald saw the veracity of the stare and a trickle of sweat dripped down his face, but he merely shrug off the surpressing feeling. "Wanna fight again, Komodo?" Gerald asked with a smile that would normally chase off most people, but not Komodo. Komodo thought for a moment, thinking of his benifets and his cons. He decided it was worth seeing how much Gerald has grown so he nodded in acceptance. Gerald's smiles grew even wider as within two seconds he had a sweeping kick aimed for Komodo's legs. Komodo wasn't surprised by the attack and easily dodged it by jumping just slightly above it. When Komodo landed he pivoted and shifted his putting strain on his left arm as he tried to kick Gerald in the face, to no one's surprise Gerald dodged the kick. Gerald grabbed Komodo's leg and pushed it to the aside away from him. He then placed his arms beside his head placing his palms on the floor lifting his legs up, putting on strain and power on his arms he pushed off the floor landing on his feet. Komodo was prepared for this and had already gotten up but using shifting his body around towards the ground and pushing his body off of it and then turn around with a straight hand like the runners use for track and field. Gerald, when he gotten onto his feet, saw this attack and his eyes widen with surprise as the hand slowly turned into a fist and plummeted into his face forcing his body down with his legs and arms up as Komodo slammed his into the floor with a loud bang that echoed throughout the school.

Komodo sighed with disappointment and he leaned backwards from his position. His hand lifted off of Gerald's face which was smiling with disbelief. Gerald, who was still conscious, was thinking of one last move. Suddenly Gerald got up shifted his body sideways and copied Komodo's other move and gave a powerful kick into Komodo's torso. Gerald felt his foot dig into Komodo small Intestine and large intestine sending Komodo stumbling back. Gerald smiled wildly hoping that he won so he got up and dusted himself off. No body cheered or even made a whisper, which was strange to Gerald or maybe it was because nobody liked him or it was they were caught off guard by the sudden attack. Gerald choose the latter and looked up. Gerald turned around and his eyes widen in surprise and excitement. Komodo was still standing, unfazed or even bothered by the painful attack. His eye seemed to burn brighter more though Gerald noticed. Gerald realized that Komodo wasn't taking a move so he decided he would instead and dashed forward while laughing. Time stood still, everyone was waiting and watching. Komodo stood stock still. Jake's mouth was a gap in disbelief and shock. Komodo's eye stared at Gerald's on coming body. His muscle tensed up, his body slowly moving with time shifted into a stance. His left leg behind him with his right leg out in front. His right arm was in the pocket of the coat and his left arm was stretched out with his fingers curved into claws. Gerald's dash slowly moved towards Komodo with a punch at the ready. Gerald threw the punch and it slowly came for Komodo. Komodo's left hand redirected the attck by slightly moving the aside of the punch and using the side of his arm to push the punch aside. Gerald's chest was wide open and Komodo took action. Time seemed to start back up again and everything was, again, in motion. Komodo's left hand turned into a fist and quickly gave three consecutive shots at Gerald's chest. One of the right, left and middle. Gerald felt the sharp pain and he spat out blood in huge amounts, but Komodo wasn't done and continued his onslaught. He gave punches and jabs on the chest, knees, face and neck with cruel fury. Komodo gave a uppercut to Gerald making his body lift off the ground. Komodo then used the air motion that he caused a grabbed Gerald's leg and pulled him down in the ground with a ear ringing thud. Gerald laughed with the acceleration at the attacks quickly gettig up and barely dodging a knee to the face. Gerald then gave his own kick hitting Komodo's back and making him stumble forward. Komodo turned around and nearly side stepping a roundhouse kick to the left arm. Komodo grabbed the leg and pulled Gerald forward and elbowing him in the chest and hearing a rib crack open but not fully breaking. Gerald winced in pain and tried to shake off Komodo's grip, but the grip was like a cave that collapsed onto a human. It was crushing his leg, Komodo's fingers were digging into the skin cutting off circulation. Gerald almost yelled in pain but instead he laughed it off and twisted his body to hand his heel on side of Komodo's head.

Gerald felt the attack land and could feel Komodo's body start to fall. Gerald smiled wildly knowing he won, but he didn't. Komodo then grabbed Gerald's other leg and slammed his body onto the ground with immense strain on Komodo's muscles. Komodo couldn't feel the strain of lifting Gerald and slamming him, but he assumed and let go see Gerald's legs fall onto the ground with a thud.

Gerald groaned with frustration, but also acceptance. However he wanted to try one last attempt. He instantly got up, stretching out his lungs and feeling the pain of a rib poking it. He breathed out smoothly and tried to dash forward, but Komodo was ten times faster. Komodo's hand latched onto Gerald's face with Komodo sliding across the floor pulling Gerald's body along with it. With great effort Komodo shoved his arm forward with Gerald's head still in his hand and slammed Gerald's head into the floor making cracks. Gerald had finally…lost.
