“My T-Rex died,SH*T” I shouted while running away from the enemies to safety
I look at the time, it’s 7:24 am, time for school. I change my clothes, get my school ID, apply some cologne, put on my socks and on my way to school.
While walking to school, let me introduce myself. My name is Mateo Valentino, I’m a 15-year-old Grade 10 student. I live in Mountain Province, my school is not that far. Did you knowm? The student’s here always get into fights, so they go to a nearby forest to battle all because of 2 students back in 2013. They call it the Battalion Ground, an area that is big enough for the fighters to battle and the viewers to spectate. No one reported it to the teachers and to our principal.
They even made a squad, 3 squads. The first squad is called Avengers, the second squad is called The Elite squads and The Third swuad is called Shadow Strike Unit. One of my friends made Shadow Strike Unit squad and most of our friends joined in.
I didn’t join the squad so that they won’t waste my time watching the fights, and so I have more time grinding my game. I want to beat the 5 dinosaur bosses and move up to the next level. I’m not sure what kind of squad names these are, but they’re kind of “gang gang” if you get me. I finally arrived at the school’s gate, I show my ID to the guard and after that, I went straight to my classroom.
I met my friend Elyzer who is playing the same dinosaur game as me. I shared the game with him one week ago, so he’s still learning the game.
“Mateo, LOOK AT THIS”
He showed me his game and I looked at the creatures he tamed. He has an army of Dilophosaurus, one Phiomia, and one Carbonemys. I am impressed with him having a lot of Dilophosaurus, mostly because that is a not so friendly enemy creature for a beginner, but an easy beginner dinosaur to tame.
When I first started playing the game, I didn’t know what to do at all. I just die and die until I searched up some tips for the game, and I learned quickly. I taught some beginner tips to Elyzer, and they worked well for him.
The bell suddenly rung, we hid our phones and lie to the phone collector that we forgot our phones at home. We waited for our first subject.
———————————————————————————————
A few subjects and minutes later, as the teacher went out somewhere. We just continued answering what the teacher gave us to answer. I suddenly heard shouting from behind. It was my close friend Benjo who is on the Shadow Strike Unit and one of our worst enemies, Chad. He was part of the Elite Squads. They both have similar physiques and height.
They keep shouting hateful words and roasting each other at the back of the classroom. Most of the boys in the classroom shout “Fight, Fight, Fight!”. The others, including me, kept silent and just mind our own business.
“Hey, both of you! Why don’t you fight at the Battalion Ground!” Clyde, a friend of Chad who was also in the same squad as him, shouted
Everyone around him agreed. I felt a tap on my shoulder, I looked behind me, it is Mark, a friend of mine. He is a big guy, but a good one. He didn’t join any of the three squads.
“Hey we’ve skipping most of our friends fight and not supporting them, why don’t we join this time and watch Benjo’s fight and support him”.
Mark’s right, I have been skipping most of my friend’s fights, and I haven’t been very supportive
“Well, okay then” I replied
I remembered the death of my Tyrannosaurus-rex this morning so I still have the stress to the game and I am not in the mood to play it today.
“THE TEACHER IS COMING!!”
One of the girls shouted when she looked outside. All of the students at the back run to their seat and continue answering the question as if nothing happened. My heart started throbbing and beating faster, I am anxious about the fight. Should I report this or watch? I keep thinking to myself.
At lunchtime, me and my friends find some place to eat, they keep encouraging Benjo on fighting Chad, do this to do that they keep couraging him. Me and Mark just kept in silence mostly this is our first fight to watch in our entire life.
Finally, in the afternoon, the grade seven to ten who are part of the squads rush to the fighters. The Elite Squad goes to Chad and encourage him, and one holds The Elite Squad Flag. The Shadow Strike Unit squad run to Benjo and encourage him as well. Someone is holding the Shadow Strike Unit squad flag, too. The Avengers squad just tag along and watch the fight. We follow the Shadow Strike Unit in silence.
When we finally arrived at the Battalion Ground, the squads scattered to their assigned placement. A guy from the Avengers squad begins commentating the fight and introduces the two fighters, as if this was a boxing match. I followed Mark to a place where we can sit and watch. The two fighters arrive face to face in the middle of the arena, with the referee from the Avengers squad in the middle to prevent the two fighters from battling before the match started.
“3, 2, 1… FIGHT!” the referee shouted.
Both of the fighters threw punches at each other, and the crowd cheered. Benjo got hit, Chad got punched, and they just kept striking each other. In the video’s of their previous fights they made me watch, they just wrestled and pinned each other, and it was boring.
Chad got knocked to the ground and got up once more, then Benjo did the same. Mark and I watched in silence, closely.
A lot of minutes later, both of the fighters ran out of breath and just stood meters away from each other, each taking a moment to catch their breath. Both of them really gave their all in the fight, they really showed how much they hate each other.
The crowd grew silent, and I looked at Mark,
“Damn, that was badass!”
“Yeah, I agre-“
“WHAT IS THAT!” someone shouted while Mark was talking.
I look at the fighters, something glowing caught my eye. Their forearm to their fist, is glowing, glowing and blazing with yellow aura, yellow particles are coming out of the aura like a kindling fire.
The crowd are in amazement, and I take a closer look. I saw a lion beside each of the fighters. Two lions, one lion beside Chad, and one lion beside Benjo. Both of the lion are growling at each other.
- Wait, a lion? When did it get there? There shouldn’t be supposed to be lions around here.
