Mission Impossible

Chapter 32: Regain Control

DAZYA'S P.O.V

"And.. FIGHT!" said Mrs. Ling. I raised my hands up to my face in a blocking position and circled around my opponent. They had on a mask and a white body suit so I couldn't know who it was or what gender. Mrs. Ling said my weakness was my feelings. She said with the persons face being masked, I wouldn't go easy on them just because I know them. My opponent came at me with full force swinging at my face. I weaved back and forth surprised by the attack. I wobbled off balance and fell backwards.

"FOCUS! Keep your head in the game!" I nodded. My opponent gave me a hand to help me up. I smiled and took their hand. The worst mistake. They pulled me up and flipped me onto my back. I closed my eyes I tried to regain my breathe.

"NEVER FRIEND AN ENEMY! Whats up with you Dazya?!?" I opened my eyes shot up onto my feet.

"Ok," I raised my hands up to a blocking position, "Lets go.." The masked person nodded. I ran towards them and swung my leg towards their torso. They backed up and grabbed my ankle. I jumped and slammed my other foot into their chest. They dropped my ankle stumbled backwards. I ran towards them but they dodged me. I turned to see a fist slamming into the side of my face. I spun by the force of the blow and hit the ground face first. I slowly stood up and wiped my nose. I looked at my hand to see blood. I looked at my opponent.

"Now you've made me angry!" I ran towards them swinging with full force. They weaved back and forth. Finally they swung with their left hand and hit me in the side. I back away and regathered my stance. They ran towards me and swung at me again with their left, but I blocked it. I swung at there head but they blocked it. I noticed that they used there left hand a lot. It was their dominant hand.

"Their weakness.." I whispered. They swung at me but I dodged it. They reeled back to strike again, but I was quick. I hit them right in their left muscle. Their arm instantly went limp and they backed up. I began to throw continuous blows to their torso and face. They tried to block me, but I wouldn't back off. Finally they began to stagger. I took a step back and did a kick flip to their face. They stumbled back and fell. I stood up straight and breathed heavily. Mrs. Ling smiled.

"Good job Dazya! A little off guard at the beginning, but in the end you regained focus! And I noticed how you noted his weakness, very nice!"

"Wait," I turned and looked at her, "His?" I walked over and pulled off the mask. It was Ash. His eye was bruised and his lip was busted.

"Hey..."

"Oh my goodness! Ash!" I brought up my sleeve up and dashed away the blood at his lip. Mrs. Ling stared at me in disapproval.

"Dazya stand up!"

"But Mrs. Ling-"

"Stand up and walk away from your enemy!"

"He's not my enemy! He's my friend-"

"Stand up!" I looked at Mrs. Ling then at Ash. Ash nodded his head. I slowly stood up and walked towards Mrs. Ling. She leaned into my face.

"If your going to be a leader, you going to have to learn sacrifice! Your going to have to learn to destroy all feeling! Because when you get out there on that battle field, your feelings wont mean anything!" Mrs. Ling stood up straight and motioned for Ash to come over. Ash walked over. I looked at him. His bruised eye and busted lip was gone.

"Ash! Your eye! Your lip! What-"

"Makeup, it was all fake. The mask has padding on the inside to protect my face from impact.. Mrs. Ling wanted to see how you would react if you saw one of your friends in pain.." I looked at Mrs. Ling.
