21 Round Two: Overwhelming Skill (1/2)

The two walked in a circle, keeping an eye on one another. They seem to be looking for openings, any weaknesses that can determine the flow of the fight.

”You better be prepared to lose horribly, kid. 'Cause you ain't getting it easy,” the man said.

”I wouldn't have it any other way,” Karma replied, smiling.

”Then prepare to say your prayers,” the man said, ticked at Karma's smile.

And with that, the two ran towards each other. Karma swung first, but the man dodged it and threw an uppercut. Karma felt dizzy from the impact but maintained his composure.

The man charged in to give Karma little time to strike back. Karma was caught in the man's pace and all he could do was to avoid being hit.

But then he couldn't move back anymore. Without realizing it, Karma had been pushed to the wall.

”Now you can't run away anymore,” the man said, grinning. ”I got you right where I want you.”

Then the man started his barrage of attacks. He attacked in a way to not leave any obvious openings that might help Karma escape.

*Shit...this guy is good. How the hell am I going to get out of this?*

”Where's your punk ass attitude, huh?” the man said as he continued to beat Karma. The harder Karma tried to escape and envelop the fight in his own pace, the more the man pressured him and made it hard to get out of the situation.

Then, Karma had a plan. It was a risky plan, but if it succeeds, then Karma might have a chance of turning the tides. He lowered his guard and leaned towards the side.

Surely enough, the man, blinded by his advantage, took the bait and punched karma with a left punch to Karma's side. Karma was thrown to the side, hitting the hard concrete floor.

*Shit! He got out!* the man thought angrily and ran to Karma to get the advantage again.

Karma managed to get up just and time and moved to the side, just as the man got to where he was. Karma took this chance to kick the man in the side, which launched him away.

”Ack!”

The man was holding his side, as Karma had put all his force into kicking him.

”You little shit...!” the man said in anger. ”You'll pay for that!”

”Dude...I just kicked you once,” Karma said, fed up with the man's constant whining. ”You hit me like a million times.”

”Ugh...why the hell am I getting so worked up? He's just a kid,” the man said, regaining his composure. ”You won't get me like that again.”

Heh,” Karma chuckled, and then the two resumed their fight. The man tried his method again, but this time, Karma knew what was coming, so he kept maintaining a distance where he could move away from the man's onslaught that aimed at trapping him.

Realizing his strategy was broken into, the man stopped his barrage.

”Guess I should step it up a notch,” the man said softly and took a deep breath.

Then, the room was silent.

”What's up?” Karma asked with confusion. ”Why have you stopped your attacks?”

The man took another breath and then disappeared from Karma's view, only to reappear as a blur.

”What the hell?” Karma asked, startled. He had encountered the quick disappear and attack pattern, but he had never seen a method like this. The man was running with abnormal speed around him, creating blur images of him around Karma. Karma rotated himself around to not get caught off guard.

But all Karma could see was the blur of a man once in a while.

Suddenly, he felt a jolt of pain rush down his spine. The man, without any warning, kicked Karma in the neck and continued his rapid circulation around Karma. Karma held his neck in pain. His nerves felt like they were about to burst.

The man did this several times. Once to his gut and once to his head. Needless to say, Karma was being thrown around in an inescapable circular trap.

”How do you like this?” the man said with a confident tone. ”That you will be beaten down and you won't know when it will come.”

”That's a pretty amazing move,” Karma said, genuinely amazed. ”I kinda wanna try that.”

”Heh,” the man mocked Karma. ” If you were at least a fourth as competent as me, you probably can pull it off.”
