1985: Dawn of a New World (A Summoner Fanfic)

Chapter 37 - An Old Enemy

"Hahaha! A real battle at last! My fists are itching to finally land a blow on real enemies!" Tyron spoke with excitement as he leave the elevator on basement two, followed by May, Stephen and Chaz.

"Well, our officers got some good intel with this intrusion happening today." Chaz, with his headphones on, replying to Tyron's excited speech.

Stephen and May, on the other hand kept their silence as the sound of the alarm echoed in the base. Gun shots can already be heard from a distance with shouts coming from a mixture of commands, as well as from soldiers who are obviously in pain.

Quickly running towards where the battle is currently happening, the group was met by a couple of dead soldiers, and some others flying towards their direction!

"Are you really all this weak! Gah! During our time we can fight so much better than this!" A large man, having a heavy muscular build, beating that of Tyron's body can be seen waving his axe, and fighting side by side with a human like demon that has the head of the wolf. "I bet my lycan over here is enough to beat all of you!" The man continued, with the lycan doing a massacre of all the soldiers in the current location.

"Why if it isn't old man Bruno here!" Tyron screamed, catching the attention of the enemy.

"Gah! Who's calling me old eh! Let me see you so I can give you a taste of my axe!" Bruno, as the huge man was addressed shouted angrily due to Tyron's remarks.

"Well I'm sure you haven't forgotten about your old buddy here." Tyron stepped closer, catching a soldier that was thrown at his direction.

"Ha! Of course it's you Tyron. I thought I recognize that impudent speech of yours! Now at last someone I can have a taste of a real battle with!" Not wasting his time, Bruno made his lycan charge towards Tyron.

"Haha now that's more like it!" Tyron quickly summoned his anubis to clash against the enemy's lycan. "Always eager to start a battle as soon as you meet your match eh. Now why don't we let our dogs fight and let's handle each other more closely!" Tyron then charged towards Bruno aiming to land a fist with his right knuckle knife.

"I think we can leave that one to him. Let's see what's happening with the other area." Stephen confidently spoke, quickly moving away from Tyron and Bruno's battle area, followed by May and Chaz.

Meanwhile at the tournament grounds, the battling students were finally set free, the moment they entered one of the waiting areas.

"Hey! Who gave you the right to mess up with our fight huh!" James scolded one of the officers the moment they were released from the psychokinetic force that dragged them out of the arena.

"And who gave you the permission to speak against you superiors eh kid! Once this is all over, I'll make sure I'll have you punished little brat!" One of the officers shouted back yet seemed ineffective against James.

"Well I..." Before James can speak back, his mouth was strapped with a belt like force made up of mana.

"I'm one that wouldn't mess up with kids but we've got to put you all in your quarters really quick." Another officer, the one that previously carried James with psychokinesis made a good job in silencing the kid. James tried to struggle which made the officer control they boy's arms with psychokinesis to join his hands then putting a restrain, tying both his arms in a handcuff like mana bind.

"Uhmmmm...what do you guys mean by 'when it's all over'?" Mark humbly inquired, following the officers along with Randall, Myrtle and Lyra as they walk towards the arena's exit.

"Oh we mean the drill. The president 'er had a visitor from the United States who 'er requested to see our facilities here. Well we can't have them see you all fighting so the tournament's suspended till the visitor flies back." The officer who put the strap on James responded, trying to hide his nervousness, being caught off guard by Mark's question.

"This doesn't concern any of you so y'all better shut up and just hide in your holes!" The officer leading the exit commanded in an authoritatively tone, making everyone silent.

"You sure know how to handle those knives of yours eh!" Back at the upper level, Bruno forces his axe on Tyron who is defending himself with the blades of both his knuckle knives, that are blocking the axe from splitting his head.

"And you are as strong as always with that axe of yours!" Tyron finally decided to retreat back jumping backwards, creating a few feet of distance between him and Bruno.

"Now what happened pal! Ain't like you to back off from a fight!" Bruno charged towards Tyron with the axe aiming at his forehead, whom the latter evade by strafing on his right then counter attacked with Tyron's knuckle knife aimed at Bruno's right cheek.

"We'll see who would really dare to run away!" Tyron spoke as his right fist that is armed with his knuckle knife make its way towards the enemy.

"Not in a million years Tyron!" Bruno was able to surprisingly block the pointed edge of the knuckle's knife with his teeth, then hit Tyron's stomach with the end of his axe's handle, making Tyron move back in pain.

"Hahaha! That was a good one! Might as well start to get serious!" Tyron charged yet again, with his right fist glowing and a blade like material made up of mana served as the knuckle knife's extension suddenly formed. Tyron punched towards his left as his knuckle knives extension continues to form, stretching to the length of a meter, resembling a short sword with a crescent-shaped blade.

Bruno was able to block the blade with his axe but was pushed back by Tyron's pushing force who has suddenly gotten stronger. "Getting serious eh. You bet we should make this fight a little more exciting!" Bruno's whole body suddenly glowed with a red aura, after which he pushed the blade away with ease.

Bruno had to jump back however, to evade another mana blade, this time from Tyron's left knuckle knife. Bruno's landing made a quake in the area, making some of the soldiers who are currently running away from the area to stumble.

"Now how'd you like that pal!" Bruno gripped his axe once more in a stance that is prepared to attack anytime.

"Gah! Just come at me with all you've got! You know as much as I do that I enjoy fighting with strong enemies like yourself!" Tyron himself placed his fists up in front of him like a boxer's stance ready to start a fight in an arena.

"There you are guys! I'll handle them from here officers! I believe your presence are requested on the upper levels." The elevator's door opened at basment 33 with the pack being met by Camryn. "Sure thing mam! Here are the students, We'll make our way to the upper levels now!" The students obediently stepped out except for James who had to be pushed out.

James was freed from all his restrains the moment the elevator door closed. "I'll show those officers who they messed up with once I meet them again!" And with his freedom was a sudden burst of anger from being helplessly restrained.

"Now now enough of that little James. You will have a chance to fight again with the tournament being resumed... maybe tomorrow." Camryn spoke up in an attempt to calm the boy.

James on the other hand, didn't seem to listen but simply walked quickly towards his room.

"Hey you guys gave me a good fight in there. Let's do it again when they resume the tournament." Myrtle smiled at Mark, Randall and Lyra who gave each of them a shiver to their spines.

"Yes we will surely have an exciting match. Alright bye for now!" Lyra quickly scampered, following James exit but on the opposite direction.

"You guys are surely looking forward to the tournament's end aren't you. Don't worry kids it wouldn't take that long before you all can fight again. Now off you go. The others are definitely on their room now as they were led out first." Mark can only sigh seeing how powerful Myrtle really is. Even with them being successful on binding the girl, Mark seems to be having doubts that they can do the same act on their next fight. With Camryn motioning them to leave, the rest of the cadets walked towards each of their room.
