I punched Miles, but he blocked it with his arms. He stumbled back a bit from the force, so I came back with another punch and he fell to the ground. It didn't last long though, he shot back up, his feet catching me on the way, I fell back, my nose bleeding.

"I have to say Dash your a skilled fighter, but still predictable. I also have to notice that your eye is glowing, is that why you've gotten faster" said Miles

"Where is Abby!" I shouted

"Well if I told you, I would ruin the surprise, and we wouldn't want that would we" Miles laughed.

I ran at him and he did the same, whoever dealt this final blow would be the winner, it had to be, and if he won, I would be killed. As he threw his punch I jumped over him and spun around in the air.

"Game over" I said coldly.

I fell to the ground and punched him as hard as I could in the gut, he flew back and slammed into the wall, I took a couple steps back before falling on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Jason..." I said, suddenly remembering my friend

I got up and ran over to him.

"Did you get him?" He asked

"Yeah...he's out" I replied

"Dude, what's up with your eye?" Jason asked.

"What do you mean?" I replied

He looked around for a moment, picking up a metal scrap. I looked at him, confused.

"Look at it, it should show your reflection" Jason said

I picked up the scrap and looked into it. My right eye was its normal brown color, but my left eye was a bright yellow. I started to calm down a bit and my eye went back to its normal color.

"We need to find where Abby is" I said

"I already did that when you were fighting" Jason said

"What?! Dude what about your leg" I asked, surprised.

"You think I'm gonna let a bullet wound stop me?" Jason asked

I laughed, Jason's pretty strong, I should've given him more credit than that.

"Alright Jason...Tell me" I said


:-------:


I helped Jason outside when we arrived our whole group was outside. Jessica was almost in tears when I showed up.

"Oh my god, I thought you were dead" she cried

"Come on Jess, I ain't letting someone beat me that easily" I said, surprised that I even beat Miles

She wiped her tears away and nodded, I looked over to Mercedes.

"How many did we lose?" I asked

"About 200" She replied

200! Damnit....200 people I failed to save.

"So where is Abby being held?" Mercedes asked

"It's a long distance, but she's being held somewhere in Montana"
