Agile

Identity

- 2010 -

Sam walked into the court. Now, he's the only fighter standing for Team Nitro. For Team Slayer, there are still Doc and Cobra. Rhyno? Nobody knows whefe he weng after the fight between him and Detective Hazim. He also ignored his team members when they called for him.

Doc who was about to enter the court was stopped by Cobra. Looks like he wanted to face Sam. During the whole tournament, this is the first time Cobra fights for his team. This last round will determine who will bring home the prize of one million dollars 

"I don't know why but.. I really want to fight you." said Cobra while he stretches his body, warming up.

"I feel the same.. but do you know what's the difference between you and me?" asked Sam.

Cobra only looks onto Sam' face.

"I know the reason why I want to fight you."

The round started. Both fighters looked at eachother before Sam starts the attack. A turning kick is delivered close enough to hit Cobra's cheek. The man blocked the attack calmly. Then, three kicks are delivered as a backfire attack. Sam managed to avoid the two first kicks but Cobra's last kick manage to hit Sam's head.

Sam was pushed backwards. Almost loosing his balance. Cobra quickly approached him. He doesn't want to stop attacking Sam. While enduring the pain in his head, Sam had to avoid all the combo attacks delivered by Cobra. Cobra is agile. It's quite impossible to avoid all his attacks.

No matter how much pain he is feeling, Sam is determined. He won't let down of his team. To be more specific, he doesn't want to let down his friends. At least, he doesn't want to go out of the arena empty handed. If he can't catch Cobra, he needs to win the tournament. If he can't win the tournament, at least he wants to know why Cobra saved him from falling down.

Sam fell down when one of Cobra's kick manage to hit his chest. Uhuk! Uhuk! Sam started to cough. He tried to stand back up.

"Oh, you can still get back up. You're one tough cookie aren't you?" said Cobra.

"I can't.. fight.. anymore.." Sam coughed. His breathing is not stable. "You can knock me out with any way you like. But.. I want to know one thing. Why.. why did you saved me?"

"I... saved you?" Cobra stared at Sam's face. After a few seconds, his eyes widened in realization. "Oh you.. you're the police?! So.. your name is Sam?" Cobra laughed alone. "How many years has it been? You're still chasing for me? You never learn your lesson do you?"

"I won't let a murderer on the loose until he's dead." replied Sam.

"I said to you.. I'm not a murderer!" Cobra shouted all of a sudden. "That's why I saved you!"

"But.. why did you ran away? If you know you're innocent?" asked Sam. The 'drama' is watched by everyone in the arena. Jay is also looking at the scene and tried to understand the situation.

"Cobra! You don't have to listen to him! Don't waste our time!" Doc warned Cobra from outside the court. He's worried Cobra is loosing focus.

Cobra is now in a dilemma. Should he tell the truth to Sam that will prove his innocence? But he needs to sacrifice his relationship with Team Slayer that had helped him so much.

If possible, he really wants to know his true identity, before he becomes Cobra. Even though right now his life is luxurious, filled with money and gold, but his heart never seems to be settled down. A criminal will be a criminal. He can hide. He can run. But until when? Cobra knows there will be one time that everything will end. But the question is, what kind of ending will he face?

"I..." Cobra decided to let go of his feelings.

"I'm afraid.. at that time, I can't even remember anything!"

"You can't remember anything? You mean, you had an amnesia?"

Cobra nodded weakly. "Until now.. I can't even know who am I. Who I really am."

Sam was speechless. But, can I believe him? If yes, maybe during the time he killed Aisyah and Haziq, he accidentally slammed his head on something. So when he woke up, he can't remember anything. He thinks his innocent that's why he saved me.

"Woi! We need to win, right?! Have you forgotten about that?!" Doc cuts their conversation.

Cobra realized. He shook his head. There are some things that need to be settled first. "Sorry Sam, but we need to win this tournament. About me, we'll talk about it later." said Cobra.

"Hmm, OK. But, can you really defeat me?" said Sam.

"We'll see. May the odds be in your favor." replied Cobra.

Both fighters fought again. Punches. Kicks. Lots of attacks and avoids are happening in the court. Sam seemed more focus than before. Some of his attacks managed to hit Cobra.

The fight paused for a while. Both men are gasping for air. They are still looking at eachother. Both of them are good at fighting. The spectators cheered non stop, waiting for what will happen next.

Cobra starts his move. His enemy is approached with a roundhouse kick to the head. Sam avoided the attack with a backflip. A back kick is delivered right to Cobra's stomach. Sam saw his chance when he sees Cobra ducked to endure the pain.

He turned his body to the right. Once. 360 degrees. Twice. 720 degrees. Fast. The momentum makes it easier for him to lift his body into the air. While doing that, he lifts his right leg. Before reaching the opponent's head, the muscles in the leg are stiffened for more impact. Powww!!! Beautiful.

Death spin.

Cobra's body turned a little before falling head first into the ground. His head felt pain. It's not that he can't avoid Sam's attack, but he was shocked seeing the man's body spinning like that. As if he had saw the same thing happening to him right infront of his eyes - during his match with Sam during the State - Level Martial Arts Competition!

Cobra is left lying on the floor. His eyes opened without blinking. Image by image returned to his memory. He left himself like that. Doc's shouts and the refree's counts are ignored. His memory is returning to him. He starts to remember and know himself.

"Nine! Ten!"

The whole arena is filled with the crowd's cheer. Sam who is gasping for air is approached by the refree. His hand is lifted high up in the air. Detective Hazim who had received treatment is looking at the scene from outside of the court.

"I know I can count on you, Sam." Detective Hazim smiled.

Doc is approaching Cobra in anger. "Hey! How did we lost?!"

All of a sudden Cobra's eyes widened. Doc was shocked. Cobra stood back up with his head pulsating in pain and walked towards the exit.

"Hey, where are you going?!" Doc prevented Cobra from leaving.

Buk! Cobra immediately punched Doc in the jaw. Right at the target. Doc fell onto the ground.

"Don't you ever call me Cobra again! My name is Zarith! Remember that!" Zarith shouted at Doc and dashed out of the exit. Before leaving, he asked Sam to follow him.
