RoaR#17

Roar wanted to attack but Lion held him back.

“No, Roar. we should first duel them here.” Lion was talking with a big smile on his face. A devilish smile that made their enemies shiver with fear.

Roar nodded and stepped back. Lion then stepped forward and shouted.” I ask for a duel. Which one of you will be fighting first?” his shout shook the ground.

The bald man saw that the men around him were intimidated. He wanted to bring back morale so he stepped forward with confidence and shouted. “I will be fighting you!”.

The entire camp erupted in laughter as Lion and his companions couldn’t hold themselves back from laughing as if the bald man had just told the funniest joke ever.

The bald man became infuriated and shouted with anger.” What’s so funny? I said I will fight you!”.

Lion and his companions erupted with laughter again after his statement and after a few seconds they were beginning to calm down. Roar was laughing with them but he did not know why.

After they calmed down, Lion looked at the bald man with an amused expression.” You will be fighting Spitty.”.

“Spitty?!” the bald man was confused.

After being called by Lion, Spitty came forward and stood out in front. Everyone was cheering for him. They were kicking the ground in a certain rhythm and clapping with it and cheering. Roar mimicked them and laughed as he was having fun doing this.

The bald man saw a very thin man with a thin mustache come forward and became angry.” Do you think this puny creature can beat me?!”.

“Oh, you shouldn’t have said that.”. Lion said as he looked towards Spitty with caution in his eyes.

Roar saw that Spitty was Red and shaking from anger. The bald man laughed and came forward to duel. “This is going to be quick.” Said the bald man in a condescending manner as he pulled his sword out.

“You are Right!” said Spitty with rage in his voice as he went towards him and pulled out his thin sword, it was as thin as his mustache.

There were no referees or rules for this kind of duel. It was a duel till one of them either died or surrendered. They started whenever they both had their weapons ready. So, it already had started.

Both the bald man and Spitty stood with their swords drawn, looking at each other. The bald man laughed and ran towards Spitty to attack.

Spitty saw him coming towards him and didn’t move and waited. Just as the bald man was about to attack, Spitty dodged the attack and spat in his eyes rendering him blind.

The bald man tried to wipe his eyes but no matter how much he wiped nothing was going away and he panicked and shouted.” What is this? I can’t take it off me.”

Lion laughed and shouted back.” Why aren’t you laughing now!”. everyone laughed after hearing this except for the black cloaks of course.

As the bald man was blind, he was swinging his sword wildly and trying to clean his eyes so he could see. But Spitty wasn’t about to let that chance go to waste so he moved silently and reached the bald man from behind and kicked him in the nuts with so much force that popping sounds could be heard. Everyone that was there, felt for him and let out a small uniform “Ahhh”.

The bald man went unconscious immediately and fell to the ground. Spitty spat on him again and went back to Lion and his companions with a smile on his face. Everyone was cheering for Spitty and laughing.

Lion patted Spitty on his shoulder and went to talk to the black cloaks.” You have lost this duel. Do you surrender?”

Suddenly a shout could be heard coming from one of the walls.” This was just a warm up.” A big man suddenly jumped in the middle of the clearing and pointed at Lion and shouted with a deep voice.” The main event is here.”

Lion smiled as he recognized him.

Whispering could be heard amongst the black cloaks.

“It’s Master Drake’s right hand man.”

“The Crazed Claw!”

Lion pulled out his sword and started walking towards the crazed claw. All of his companions were going crazy because they were about to see Lion in action. Roar was very interested to see Lion fighting as well so he looked with a lot of interest and cheered with them.

They both stood opposite of each other and looked each other in the eyes with a smile. Lion had a red sword and a golden shield. But the crazed claw only had black claws on his hands.

After the staring contest they both moved at the same time towards each other and clashed together.

Everyone was in awe of the power and skill that was being displayed. As they were giving each other no place for errors to be made, for one error could lead to their defeat or possibly death.

The fight went on for a while and fatigue could be seen on the crazed claw’s face but Lion was looking like he had much more to give.

“You’re a monster. Are you taking this seriously?” said the crazed claw with bated breath.

“I don’t need to.” said Lion while smiling mischievously.

The crazed claw went incredibly mad and was blinded by anger as he charged in without a care.

Lion saw him charging and decided to end it there. He dodged the attack of the crazed claw and slashed his claws off and bashed him with his shield. He was thrown into a nearby wall and went unconscious.

Lion then sheathed his sword and put the shield on his back and started walking towards his companions with a big smile. Roar was very impressed by the skill shown by Lion. Everyone was cheering for Lion. some were asking for autographs and that made Lion laugh.

Because of the noise and laughter no one noticed what was about to happen.

“Roar, quickly jump behind Lion!!!” the stone shouted in Roar’s mind with urgency.

Roar’s eyes went wide and he jumped towards Lion, for running was too slow. He landed behind Lion with his stone sword drawn in front of him, used as a shield. He shouted. “Watch out!!!”.

Lion looked behind him and tried to draw his sword and shield quickly, only to see Roar being hit by something incredibly fast and strong. The force was so strong that Lion was thrown away and as he was in the air, he saw Roar defending against that thing that attacked him and he was being pushed away with such great power that they both went through the walls and were thrown into the forest surrounding the town.

Lion dropped to the ground and quickly got up and shouted.” ROAR!!!”. he then looked towards the black cloaks that were there with incredible anger and as his eyes flashed red, he shouted.” ATTACK!”

All the companions charged at his command and the big battle begun.
