The whole outpost was filled with soliders, some were doing push ups, others were marching around, there was even an obstacle course. We were following Mason, the solider who came to our ship he wanted us too meet the general in charge of this outpost. Shekra was holding my hand as walked along, Steve and Martain were walking in front of us with Amanda. Steve looked back at me and frowned before turning back, I sense of anger stung me. I was still pretty mad about what he said about Amanda, but why should I even care, she was a stranger to me (then again everyone's kind of a stranger to me). We followed Mason into a wooden building and up some stairs. We than walked thourgh a hall up to a wooden door that read 'generals office' on it. Mason opened the door, letting us in before closing it behind us.
The general was sitting at a desk, he was a dark skined man with an afro, "hello, im general Ken, I understand that your squad had escaped from a Kurt attack that took place on one of our ships" he said. "That's right, we had to crash on the planet Grod in order to survive" Martain said. The general took a hair pick out his pocket and started picking his hair, "whos your captain?" he asked. I stepped forward "that'll be me" I said, "I don't know about that" Steve butted in. Everyone looked at him in confusion, "what are you saying Steve?" Shekra asked, Steve scowled at me. "Well I think its time to choose another captain, no offense Zack but your not in your right mind at the moment". I frowned and stepped up to him.
"You think you can do better Steve?" I asked, he stepped up to me until he was inches away from my face. "Oh no Zack I dont think I can, I know I can" he threatened, Shekra gasped, Martain stepped between us "stop it you too" he said. "No" the general interrupted, we all looked at him to see he was standing now. "It appears that the captain has been challenged, now he must prove he is worthy of his title, or else this'll never end" he told us. "What do you mean?" Shekra asked, the general looked at her than at me "you must discipline your crew when they get out of hand, every captain knows that, now are you gonna chicken out or not" he said to me. I looked at the general than back at Steves grinning face, "okay, lets do this" I told the general.
We were led out to a large field of sand beside the outpost, Steve was standing a yard in front of me. We were alone except for the fact that almost the whole army was surrounding us in a huge circle. They were all hoping to see a good fight, Shekra, Martain, and Amanda were among the crowd watching. "Steve this is crazy what are you thinking!" I heard Shekra yell, Steve looked in her direction "this is for you Shekra!" he answered. Was he trying to flirt with her, something tells me Steve was mad about more than just me kissing Amanda. The general stepped in the middle of us, "alright you two, I want one you to win, good luck" he said. Than he walked into the crowd, wasn't what I expected him to say but it didn't matter.
I took out my knife and pressed the button turning it into a sword, Steve took out his staff, "you know we dont have to do this" I yelled to him over the cheers of the crowd. He smiled, suddenly in one leap he jumped the full yard between us swinging his staff at me. I was barley fast enough to see it coming so the end of the staff hit me in the nose, I flew back about 5 feet but stayed on my feet. Pain blew up in my face and blood dripped from my nose. Steve came in for another hit but I quickly moved to the side dogging the staff. Than I moved back in punching him on the side of his cheek, his body flew and he fell onto the sand ground. I jumped over him bringing my sword down, he rolled to the left and my sword hit the ground. Sand flew in all direction's and my sword sunk into the ground.
Suddenly I felt a sharp pain on my belly as Steve swung his staff into me, I flew up high into the air. Steve jumped up after me, he took another swing at my body but I seen it coming and blocked it with my sword. Than reached out and grabbed his neck with my free hand as we flew higher into the air. I than hit him in the face with the hilt of my sword, he plummeted back to the ground, he hit the sand so hard a crater formed around him. The crowd went wild. I landed back onto my feet with my sword raised in front of me, ready for anything. Steve crawled out of the crater, he was bleeding in his nose. He raised his staff into the air and started spinning it, I stood my ground, concentrating on him.
He smiled and said, "try to cut your way out of this one", thats when I realized what he was doing. His staff was spinning so fast that the sand around him started to fly up off the ground. He was forming a tornado, I couldn't allow him to do that there were people around. I mustered up all my strength and ran at him, "NO ZACK DON'T RUN INTO IT!" Shekra screamed. But it was too late, the air around him scooped me up, I went from the ground into the clouds so fast I didn't know which way was down. I spinned around so much it was like being in a tire rolling down a very sandy hill. I held onto my sword for dear life. Suddenly Steve flew by like a jet smacking me in the face, "I control the winds Zack, surrender now or else you'll lose more than your memory" Steve threatened.
He flew by again, and again, and again, I was trapped in a web of wind, I looked down to the crowd who were like ants from up here. Amandas in that crowd, anger swelled up in me and my sword started to steam. I balanced myself, and edged my way to the middle of the tornado. Once I was there I started to free fall, "yes fall to your defeat" Steves voice said. No, not today, my sword started glowing and I pointed it to the ground, I hit the ground sword first. The impact of my sword hitting the ground was so great the ground cracked and shook. The crowd flew up into the air and fell back to the ground, the tornado disappeared. I looked above me to see Steve free falling above me in a daze.
I pointed my sword up at him and pushed all my power into the weapon, a beam of light shot out hitting Steve sending him far into the atmosphere. The beam of light stopped firing out of my sword. I dropped and fell on my butt to rest, Shekra ran out of the crowd and locked her arms around me. "OHHH MY BABY ARE YOU OKAY?" she screamed, Martain ran over with Amanda. "Wheres Steve?" he asked, suddenly Steve came crashing down a few feet in front me. "Oh my, is he dead?" Amanda asked, Shekra kept cradling me and crying, gosh these people are crazy.
