Animal Adventure

Chapter 14: Lady Fortissimo

Warning: fighting, blood, cursing

Aka underestimates how fast the two boys are. Aka has been looking for an hour now and still haven't seen them. Aka also can't contact Teresa as she left her phone at home, so Aka must find them quickly on her own.

The only clue that she has is the heat signature of the orange-haired boy. When the boy hits Aka with his fire, Aka memorizes the heat of the boy and uses it to track him down. Although it is not too accurate, it did let Aka have some sense where they are.

After a few minutes of running, Aka can sense the boy's heat more clearly. Aka takes off and finds the boys in an alleyway. Unfortunately, they were not alone. Three big men surrounds the hybrids, blocking the only exit that they can escape from. Behind the boys is a dead end. Without thinking, Aka rushes in, using one of the walls to run on it. The men that are blocking the exit flinches back as she lands between them and the boys.

Not wasting any time, Aka lunges to the man on the right and immediately knocks him out by punching him in the jaw. Aka uses the momentum of her punch to back kick the second man in the stomach. The man soon follows his companion to unconsciousness. The last one standing backs away. The two boys look at Aka in fear and in awe.

"That is a lot easier than I thought." Was all Aka said.

"Who the hell are you?" the man shouted.

Aka turns to look at him. On her face, boredom is written all over it. She didn't even try to hide it, which makes the man mad. The man grabs a knife from somewhere behind his back and lunges at Aka. Unfortunately for him, Aka is fast. He didn't have the chance to lay a finger on her as Aka steps to the side and garbs his wrist.

The man is so startle by Aka's movement that he drops his knife. Aka pulls the man forward, using his weight to bring him down. The man falls to the ground. Aka quickly gets on top of man's back. Aka bends the arm that she is holding behind his back. She brings her hand up to his neck and pins him down. This fully immobilize the man.

"Bitch!" the man shouted as he struggles to get out.

Aka shifts her position until she has her knee on the lower part of his back. The man grunts in pain as Aka pulls his arm back even more.

"Tell me why you are surrounding children." Aka demanded.

"Why should I tell a bitch like you?" the man rebuked.

The man is now howling in pain as Aka bends his arm again. She almost pops it out of his socket.

"Tell me." Aka demanded again.

"Do you know how rich those brats' parents are? They would probably pay big money if they want these brats back." The man managed to say through the pain.

Aka relaxes the arm, but still have a firm grip on it. Aka looks up to the two boys, trying to find any injuries. The only visible injury is the bruise on the orange-haired boy's cheek. Aka sighs as she lifts the hand on the man's neck. Aka brings her hand to press a secret button on the collar of her jacket.

"This is Blaze. I found three suspicious men trying to kidnap two children hybrids. I need some people to take them in." Aka talked into her collar.

"Did you beat the crap out of them?" a man's voice asked from Aka's collar.

"It was disappointing." Aka answered.

"Bitch!" the man under her shouted.

Aka ignores him.

"Anyway. We have people coming your way in ten minutes. Don't burn them." The voice said before cutting off.

Aka lets go of her collar and looks around just in case there are anymore people around them. Because Aka can't turn around, she leaves her back exposed. The only warning she gets is the boys shouting at her. Aka leans to the side as she feels an arm coming down near her head. This, unfortunately, let the man under Aka throws her off. Aka goes with the throw and rolls out of the now awake man's attack.

Aka quickly gets back on her feet and dodges a blade of wind coming her way. Aka didn't completely dodge the blade as a bit of it cuts Aka's cheek. Blood drips down her cheek, but Aka ignores it. Aka didn't realize that her eyes glow in excitement. Aka's lips curl up into a smirk.

"That's more like it." Aka said as she dodges another wind blade.

The two boys back up further into the alleyway to get out of the way. The boys watch Aka move around the two men attacking her. The boys couldn't help but think she is dancing instead of fighting. Her body twists this way and that way. Beside the cut on her cheek, Aka avoids every attack the men throws at her. With every dodge, with every movement that Aka does, the men's attacks get sloppier and sloppier. It was to the point where the men just going wild.

That is the moment Aka makes her move. When another blade of wind comes at her, instead of moving out the way, Aka swipes her left arm horizontal, leaving a trail of fire in front of her. This burns the wind before it can even hit Aka. Take the chance, Aka runs through the fire, making the fire disperses in the air. The man that Aka pinned down earlier takes a step back, but Aka is already on him. Aka grabs the front of his shirt and pulls him down. At the same time, Aka brings her right knee up to his stomach. The man lets out a gasp before passing out.

Aka drops the man on the ground and turns her attention to the one that has been throwing the blades at her. The man makes a mistake of freezing up on the spot. In a blink of an eye, Aka is right up in his face.

"D-demon!" the man shouted out before Aka knocks him out.

Like they sense the fight is over, policemen rush into the scene. Aka steps back to let the police do their job and turns to where the boys are. They have not move since the fight and are afraid to move a muscle. They even flinch back when Aka makes her way over to them.

Aka just sighs as this is going to be a long night. And it was when Aka suddenly loses her vision and the pain in her head flares up out of nowhere. Aka passes out as she hears people shouting from far away.

Note: One of my favorite chapters so far. This is my first time writing out a fighting scene.
