They are told to start, and I lay my head against the wall. I sit down, and lean my head against the wall again. I slowly drift off to sleep, and wake with a start when I hear a suit beep. I stand up quickly, and look at the ring. I see Jake with his heel on Nick’s head. He raises his foot, and steps back. He helps Nick to his feet, and they leave the ring. Jim and Ryan walk to the ring, and I can see how tired Jim is. He is in good shape, but he is easily the oldest person in the competition. He stands there panting, and Mr. Nostra tells them to start. Ryan advances towards Jim, and I know that Ryan will win this. Ryan easily forces Jim to the ground, and holds him there. Instead of punching him now, he holds him there, waiting for the time to be right. Ryan isn’t a fan of Jim, but he dislikes Nick more. He will do anything to makes Nick’s rank go down, so he will do anything in his power to make sure that Jim does better. After the time expires, he punches him hard in the face, and we hear Jim’s suit beep. Nick and Jim are both out now, but Jim lasted longer. They walk out of the ring, and I walk onto the mat. Ava walks to the corner against from me, and we get ready to fight. Ava nods to me and I know what she is thinking. If she wins this fight, she will have to fight Ryan, who will be harder to beat and I will be fighting Jake, which should be fairly easy. If I win though, I will fight Ryan, who I can easily beat. Ava will then be in charge of fighting Jake, who she has a higher chance of beating. We are told to start, and I run at her.
She stands there, and lets me kick her legs out from under her. She crashes to the ground, and doesn’t try to get up. I kick her two times in the side, and she rolls to the side. I kneel down, and roll her onto her back. I sit on top of her, and force her arms to the ground. I step on her wrists, and keep her arms down. I bring my arm, and punch her many times in the face. The first few hit her forehead, and I aim the rest at her nose. Her suit doesn’t beep, and I know this is because she let me attack her. I let out a growl, and stand up. She knows what is going on as well, and she starts to struggle under me. She pushes up with all of her might, and I am pushed off of her. I crash to the mat, and she runs towards me. I spin around on the ground, and kick her legs out from under her. She lands hard on the ground, and I grab ahold of her leg. She tries to grab onto the mat, but she can’t hold on. I get on top of her, and punch her in her throat. She tries to struggle away, but I keep her in my grip. I wrap my hands around her throat, and head-butt her straight in her forehead. She tries to crawl backwards, but I know what to do. I kick out with my right foot, and my heel connects with her back. She falls forward, and I quickly get to my feet and run to her. I loom over her, and kick her. I kick her head, and I hear her suit beep. She flips herself over, and puts her hand up. I offer her my hand, and she grabs onto it. I pull her to her feet, and make sure that she is steady on her feet. We walk off of the mats, and we all look at Mr. Nostra. He erases what was currently on his whiteboard, and uncaps his marker. Nick and Jim are now out of the competition, because they have both lost three. Nick has won three and lost three, and Jim has won two and lost three. Nick is in sixth now, because he lasted a shorter amount of time, and Jim in now in fifth. Jake, Ryan, and Ava all have the same score of four-two now, and I am still undefeated with my score of five-zero. I quickly look up, and see the time. It is now eight at night, and I know that we are almost done. We should be done by nine, and hopefully we get to go to bed after the fights are over.
The first of the new fights will be between Jake and Ava, which means that I will be fighting Ryan again. Ava and Jake walk to the middle of the ring, and I know that Jake will fight the hardest he can. They are told to go to their corners, and they walk to them. They are then told to start, and Jake makes the first move. He runs to Ava, and grabs a hold of her shoulders. He pushes down with all of his might, and she is forced to the ground. Before he can get to the ground with her she jumps back, and puts all of her weight on her hands. She kicks up with both of her feet, and kicks him hard in his stomach. He staggers back and trips. He falls to the ground, and Ava gets up to her feet. She quickly runs over to him, and elbows his hard in his face. She brings her foot hard down on his throat and then jumps to the ground, with her palm out. Her palm hits him straight in his face, and he tries to roll away. She punches him hard in the back of his face, I hear his suit beep. She rolls away and up to her feet. She walks out of the ring, and Jake stands up quickly. He follows her out of the ring, and stands next to her. Ryan makes his way to the ring, and I follow him onto the ring. We are told to start, and I see Ryan glaring at me through squinted eyes. We both run forwards, but I stop before I hit him. He stops running, and we are about a foot apart. He looks at me, and I quickly act. I jump back, and kick out. My feet hit him in the face, and I land on the ground. I stand up, and run at him. I run to the right of him, and turn towards him. I jump at him, and turn mid-air. My left arm wraps around his neck, and my body lands on top of his back. I pull down hard, and twist my body. He is thrown off balance, and crashes to the ground. I roll away from him, so that he can’t grab at my legs. He struggles to his feet, and turns towards me, and I can see him struggling for breath. He runs at me, and I dodge out of the way of his fist. I elbow him hard in the back of the head when he runs past me. I turn on him, and kick the back of his knees. He is forced to his knees, and I elbow his hard. My elbow hits him at the base of his neck. He tries to move away, but I stay next to him. I punch him as hard as I can in the back of his head. He falls forward, and I hear his suit beep. I quickly back away, and leave the ring. Ryan slowly gets to his feet, and walks off of the mats. We look at Mr. Nostra and he tells us the new standings that we mostly know. He says that Jake is now out, and in fourth place. Ryan is also out, but he is now in third place, because he lasted about two minutes longer. They both nod, and they are told that the fighting will be the last thing we do today. They leave the gym, and walk back to the dormitory. It is now a constant fight against Ava to see who will be first place, and who will be second place. I will have to beat Ava one time to win the fights, and she will have to beat me three times. I speak up, and ask Mr. Nostra if we can do sudden death, so that the fights will be over faster. He reluctantly agrees, and we walk onto the mats.
