We Are Us

CHAPTER 74: Twelve Noon

The Garage

The 12 of us show up in two cars, mine and Nicole's, packed like sardines. Nicole, Thor, Duke, Joyner, Blackburn, and Bryd. Then me, Beth, Will, Sam, Chuck, and Levi pull in behind them. We get out and all of our revolutionaries are already there and prepared. Thor explains the rules he had already explained to us again, and then he says something he hadn't before. "Find an area and an opponent. Keep this as fair as possible. Duke will not be fighting due to injury-", he is cut off. "What the hell?! I'm fine. I didn't come all the way out here for nothing!", Duke exclaims. "I WANT YOU, FUCKER!", Roger yells, pointing towards Thor. Thor, surprised, kneels down by the entrance of the garage. "That sumbitch shouldn't even be here, I want him. See how much of a help he really was to my friend.", Danny says, speaking to this Joyner guy. He's really tall, slim, and has tattoos. A military haircut as well, he just smiles as he walks to Danny. "Friends since first grade buddy," Clay starts, "I guess we're about to test that loyalty.", "Nope, Levi's mine. Back off, Clay.", DJ says, making his way to Levi. "I got you, little buddy.", Chuck says to Clay, smiling. Xavier and Will line up afterwards, then Tatsuya steps in front of me and shrugs his shoulders. "Should've listened to us, newbie. Sorry 'bout it.", he says. "Since she wants to bring outsiders into this, I'll take her scrawny ass.", Chelsea says to Nicole. "Oh really? Scrawny ass? Alright.", Nicole responds with a laugh. "Your boyfriend tried to hurt my brother. So I'm gonna hurt you.", Bryd to Amber. Lex and Blackburn line up, as well as Emily and Beth. Laura and Sam are the last two remaining. They approach each other, both smiling. "3! 2! 1...", Thor was shouting, then everything went quiet. Tatsuya had hit me in the ear hard enough to make me fall flat of my back. I see Xavier spear Will, Levi slam DJ, Thor's face already bloody from Roger's swinging. The girls were ruthless too, Amber choking Bryd, Lex and Blackburn both standing their ground, swing after swing. Joyner caught Danny with two hooks before catching an uppercut, Clay shoved Chuck to the ground and just started wailing on him. This will be bad...
