The bird flew away, and I leapt towards him when suddenly everything turned black, and I fell to the ground. I quickly gathered myself up and noticed I was on the rooftop of a building surrounded by other buildings on fire. I went to the edge to check closer because I recognized one of the buildings and could see the train station T-central sign. Is Stockholm caught in a big flame?
A roar came from a distance, looking like a red dragon flying over the central area of Stockholm. It just kept making new fires in other buildings.
"Do you like my design for you? I didn't have much time. I just made it while we were sitting in the grass. I was hoping this would motivate you." The boy said as I turned around, which I didn't find fun, that he had burned down the centre of Stockholm city.
"You know what boy! I don't usually go all out on children, but you will be an exception." I said, and I put my fists up to prepare for a battle.
He leapt toward me and tried a round kick as I leaned back to dodge it while taking two steps back. A quick punch hit the left side of my blazer. It caught fire, and I quickly took it off, looking at the black flames ruining my dear blazer. I removed my tie to protect myself and not let the boy hit me with his fists.
"Why are you trying to use a weapon? Your hands are already a weapon and the best protection for you."
He put his hand on the ground, and three big flames showed up beside him. They changed into humans with white suits, as if the boy was trying to replicate my clothing. It was weird that it was two men and a woman, all three staring at me.
"I am bored and have not seen your skills except you trying to dodge. If you beat all three of them, I will fight you, or you will be stuck here with me forever. Oh! Grandpa! I forgot you can only make them disappear by creating black fire."
What is that supposed to mean?
"Sterk or whatever your name is. How am I going to create black fire like that? Are you crazy?"
Both his eyes turned black as he hit his fist on the ground, and all three of the suit people rushed towards me. I tried to back away, but my reaction was too late when the woman made an aerial high kick from my left side, hitting my face as I flew against a short wall. If I were one metre above, I would have fallen right into the burning flames down the streets. I rolled forward to distance myself from the edge; this time, a round kick from the right came. I managed to get my arm to protect my face and followed up with a quick roll when the man had his back towards me. I grabbed both his legs and tried to swing him toward the wall, but a kick came on the left side, hitting my rib, and my throw was lame as the man just slid towards the wall. I held my right hand on my left rib to protect it, and when an upper kick came towards me, my left arm went up as a reflex to protect, but a hard kick on my chest made me lose my balance, and I fell on the ledge with my left leg in the air as they rushed towards me. I made a kick-up even though the edge was relatively thin. I landed with the left foot and tried to balance myself when the woman kicked toward me but missed as I kept moving on the edge to get away from them when the woman went up on the ledge, trying to chase me down with one of the men running beside her. I went down as the man made a round kick, and I dodged it while the woman was hit on the legs and fell with her head first to the ground. The man tried to coordinate himself, but I jumped and elbowed him on the head as he rolled forward. When he turned around toward me, I jumped with both my knees toward his face, rolled over his body and noticed the other man was now up. He started to swing both his fists as I made sloppy movements to dodge them, and he hit my face. I quickly kicked him on his left knee and looked back to see if the other two were up when the woman, bleeding a lot, was rushing towards me as I squatted down, which made her fist hit the man and I jumped up and made a back kick making her fly. If I don't do anything about the situation, it will escalate, and I don't know how long I can try to keep three people away. I saw Sterk in a squatted position, just laughing and smiling.
"I ran towards him as one of the men grabbed my collar and pushed me to the ground and tried kicking my face, but I got my arms up when the kick hit my face slightly. I noticed my nose bleeding. I had his right leg, and I quickly took my other leg and pulled it around to push him down on the ground, following with a kick up, but black fire hit my chest, and I swung several meters, falling on the ground. I was not on fire this time and had no energy to kick up after a hit from damn Sterk. The other two on the back had managed to recover even though the head of the woman was all bloody, and the man's nose didn't stop bleeding from my hit with the knee.
"YOU DID IT!" Sterk screamed out.
"What are you talking about?" I asked him.
"Look down on your right fist. One is better than nothing: getting the left fist working is a problem, but you now have a weapon. Use it to finish off these three."
I looked down at my right fist and noticed a small black fire. It wasn't the same size as Sterk's fists, but it was burning and surprised me. I have never seen black fire before, or have I?
The woman made a high right kick, and I grabbed her leg and hit her face with my right fist. Her whole body started to burn black flame as the ashes quickly disappeared. The closer man hit my face when he was going to follow it up with one more hit. I managed to grab his throat with my right hand, and he screamed out in the air while he was burning up. The last one made a fly kick from my side, falling and rolling away to avoid getting hit by a follow-up. I went up, and he tried to make a fly kick again, but I took two steps forward, grabbed his body and slammed him to the ground. I hit him several times, noticing that he didn't catch on flame, but his right cheek slowly burned through when suddenly his face caught fire after several hits, and his whole body disappeared. I was slightly out of breath and heard a clapping behind me. I turned around and started to run toward Sterk, who was smiling and exactly when I was going to hit him, he slammed his fist on the ground, and I was back in the Office. The creature was moving towards me as I looked for the chair. I quickly got up from the ground and noticed my right fist was still on black fire. I turned the chair in the other direction with the four legs pointing towards the creature. When it made a big swing with the club, I ducked, in an instant, went up and pushed the chair four legs on its chest and gave a hit with my right fist where the whole chair went into black fire with green blood splattered all over my face as the creature flew across the office space to the other end hitting the wall like a sticker. All four legs had drilled through its body, still in black flames. It was quiet in the Office for a few seconds when Jacqueline showed up and noticed the big creature stuck on the wall. She looked at me with a surprised look. I clenched my right fist, feeling that this new power wouldn't make me look helpless and that I may be the strongest one in the group now.
"STOP LOOKING DOWN ON YOUR FIST. YOU ARE STILL THE WEAKEST OF THE THREE OF US. STOP PLAYING AROUND AND HELP US MOVE FORWARD IN THE OFFICE." Jacqueline screamed at me, pointing her finger at me as Fierna was in battle all alone.
We need to get out of the Office as fast as possible, but if we have problems here. It makes me wonder what will happen when we come to the other side. Will there be more dangerous creatures?
