Street Fighter

[Reoigi 4]

"Hey Reoigi" I hear in the background. I turn to see Beo, a friend walking towards me. He sits on the sidewalk next to me and hands me half a loaf of bread. I say "thanks where did u get this". "Stole it from the vendor across town" he says. "You are going to need your strength for tonight" he follows up. I stare down at my knuckles, black and scarred from all the fighting I've done. "Why, are you betting on me" I ask. "So what if I am" he replies. That's money you don't have" I said. "Won't need it" he replied. "because you always win. And anyway that money pays for food so we don't starve everyday". I look down at the bread and start eating. "Maybe one day I'll have enough money to buy a house, maybe I won't have to be hungry on a day to day basis" I said. "Maybe but you know what doesn't help? Complaining so pick yourself up and get ready to fight. It's almost sunset and the fight starts at sundown.

The street was illuminated only by a few torches and a crowd of people gathered around. The host shouted to silence the crowd. An eerie silence swept over the group of people. "In this corner we have the up and rising prodigy Reoigi" the host shouted. Many cheered but I was focused on my enemy." And in that corner we have the colossal champion Latho" the crowd erupted into cheering." Any bets" the host said. 100 minas, 350 minas, 780 minas the number exploded faster than ever before. Let me back track for a second this is how the bets works. The 2 highest bids go head to head. The man who bids on the winner gets his share back as well as half of the other bidders share. That other half is supposed to go to the fighter but the host skims most of it for himself as "compensation" for finding the location as well as bribing guards to look the other way. Finally some more of the money was given to the winner to keep him coming back. Anyway bidding reached 3525 minas in the end.

And with no warning the host shouted "fight".

He ran forward towards me with exceptional speed for his size. He took a swing at me but I was faster. I ducked under his swing and punched his stomach. And while he reacted I swung my left fist at him. I hit his jaw and my knuckles split open (being raw from the previous fights) leaving 4 dark trails of blood in the air. But the force of my swing knocked me to my knees. I dived forward but my opponent grabbed my legs and swung me over his head slamming me against the ground. Using this momentum I rolled backwards onto my feet.

A searing pain shot up my right shoulder. I looked up just in time to see my opponent charging at me. I side stepped left and swung my left fist at his temple. While he was temporarily stunned I kneed his solar plexus. Then while he was keeled over I joined both of my fists into a ball over my head and brought it down on him. I had won. The crowd went ecstatic. I clutched my right shoulder and found that my right scapula was broken. And with that fight I won 45 minas. To me that was everything. I could eat for the next few weeks. So I went to buy some bread. From behind someone said " who'd you steal the money from". My rage boiled over I couldn't take it anymore. I turned around and I hit the man as hard as I could.

"You filthy little ...." he said but he was cut off by me kneeing him in the crotch. "its people like you that force me into this living hell" I said. Then he started laughing and before I could react guards took me from behind. Then I looked closely at the man, it was Lord Deril.

I was thrown into the dungeon and I was to be executed the next morning. I pulled a small stick out of my mouth which I kept for picking locks. But the guard caught me an took my pick. Then he came in close. "you pesky little rat, you're not escaping this hell." I grabbed his head and slammed it against the door. I then searched his belt for the keys. I found some and tried them out on my lock, but none of them were quite right. Eventually I just grabbed a key and rotated it as hard as I could. Eventually the lock unlocked and I ran out. I grabbed the guards sword but the scabbard's belt was too small for my waist so I put it on my back. I ran out as fast as I could. I darted out of the door and into the sunshine.

I ran to the nearest house and I jumped off of the wall and grabbed the top. I pulled myself up and onto the roof. I jumped over the alley way onto another roof. By this time the rangers were shooting at me. I then made it to the main road. I jumped off of the chimney and soared over the gap. I grabbed the edge but my right shoulder sent chronic pain through my right arm. So it gave out leaving me hanging off the rooftop. But the sight of archers sent all of my adrenaline rushing through my veins. I pulled myself up and over. I jumped and grabbed the city walls. I then climbed over and jumped into a pond. Behind me I heard "SHOOT HIM" but it was too late I had already disappeared into the tree line.

((I would appreciate if you left a comment on how i did and if you wanted more))
