Hooded Phantom Rebirth

Season 2: Episode 6

Joseph's POV

"Let's just get this over with," I said to myself as I stood there in my fighting stance, looking at Mike. It was dead silent, aside from the few distinctive whispers here and there. We were waiting for someone to make a move. That's when Mike, the short-tempered, impatient, knucklehead that he is,decided to go first, running straight at me.

I just looked at him with a smirk, staying in the same position until the very last moment, where I got out of the way just in time and smacked him right in the head just to mess with him. He quickly turned, glared at me and ran at me once more, like a angry bull. I smirked to myself, as I quickly dodged him and pulled off my jacket, making a bull fighter hand gesture. I heard a few people chuckle, seeing the resemblance between Mike and a bull.

But I guess he didn't take it too well. He growled at me as he raised his hands once more. I decided to stop teasing him and dropped the jacket. But as the jacket drop and turned to see Mike, I felt something tackle me to the floor. It was Mike. Guess I wasn't paying attention. Anyway, Mike quickly got on top of me and began targeting me right in the head. Luckily I had hands upso my head didn't take much of the beating. At some point I grabbed him by the collar and kick him off of me. As he landed on the floor, I quickly did a kip up and got in my fighting stance.

I have to take this seriously. He turned toward me I quickly hit him with a running knee strike, making him drop the floor. But as he got up, a strong roundhouse kick came right towards his head, making him hit the floor once again. I expected that to finish him, but it didn't. He just got back up. Gotta hand it to him. His chin has gotten tougher. So I just stood there just to let him get in some punches on me. As soon as I did that, he didn't waste any time. He came right at me and started aim towards my head. But there's no way I'd let him win just like that. So I just dodged his attack, moving my head away from his fist. But he as getting smart and started to aim at my chest, changing his direction. But I quickly saw this and blocked it with one hand and hit him in both his head and his chest, making him go back a few inches from me. But this time, I ran towards him, landing a punch right in the jaw, bring him down to the floor, hard.

I took a deep breath as I heard the other students making noise. I turned towards them, seeing that everyone was chanting at me. I honestly couldn't help but smile at them. But that was until I felt a strong force hit me back. I groaned as I got on one knee. I slowly turned to see Mike on his feet with a brass knuckle in his hand. I frowned, realizing that he's now playing dirty. I cursed him out as he struck me once more, hitting me right in the stomach with his brass knuckle. I couldn't use my powers or else people will know. Damn it. He he struck me a few times in the face when he began kicking me, mostly in the gut, before he stopped for a moment. Mike chuckled as he pulls my hair, forcing me to look at him. "Not so tough now," he exclaimed arrogantly. I didn't say anything. I could tell that Mike got what he wanted as let go of me. But then I heard something. The same voice I heard in my dream. "It isn't over yet Phantom. All you need to do is say the word." What does he mean by-

Mike's POV

That, felt, good. About time I get him where it hurts. I chuckle to myself. And maybe I'll finally stick it to him and- Huh? I turned to hear a strange voice. That's when I see Joseph back up. Almost like as if he was never hurt in the first. But that's not the weird part. It's what he's saying. It, sounds like gibberish. Shrugged it off, thinking it made no difference. I put my brass knuckles back in my hand and begin walking towards him. I quickly raise my hand and began to strike!

Joseph's POV

My body rose up, with my eyes closed as I kept speaking in a language I wasn't familiar with. I could feel Mike getting closer and closer until..... until I grabbed onto his fist, opening my eyes, revealing the change in color as reddish outline could be seen in the pupils of my eyes, as I put pressure on the punch he threw, bending the brass knuckles. Mike's eyes widen, knowing that he screwed up. Mike tries to pull away but to no avail. I slowly raised my fist to the point where it was was ready to break that thick skull of his. I then let go of his fist and quickly grabbed his neck, putting pressure, as I began to beat him senseless. As I began raising he shaking body, my only thoughts were to make him suffer an endless hell and to rip his god damn face off from his body. But that's when I heard Anna's voice. I slowly glimpse at her, realizing that what I'm doing is wrong. So I did the next best thing. I whispered something to his ear and choke slammed him onto the concrete floor, bringing him down for the count. That's when I felt like myself again, as I held my stomach for a moment as I felt sore for a moment. It was over. At least, for the time being. Cause knowing that idiot, he'll never give up just like that and end up defeated.

But I can relax, for now.
