Chapter 57 - A Mock Battle

Chapter 57

Melinda didn't make any seconds to spare and immediately rushed into me by kicking my left head with his left leg trying to do a scissor kick

*whoosh*

I only back off a bit , and then she launches several attacks like shoulder and arm dislocation, roundhouse to the plexus and other techniques about jujitsu.

Jujitsu is a kind of technique especially for people you can touch and body contact, but it's useless if it's people who are slippery or with great flexibility and high speed reaction. I just wondering how could this woman so vicious that in every attack is enough to kill ordinary person even though we are just sparring.

"Hey, hey is this all you can do agent Melinda?" As I said while mocking him in front of her face.

I have to make her more so she can fight to exceed her limits and also, I want to make sure that her composure in every fight is still calm. In every fight you must calm your mind no matter what happens, even if you are in a life or death situation.

"Just watch, if I catch your body that will be the end of you... And what about you, you are still not attacking aren't you?" she said while attacking me faster than before but still she can't even though any limbs of mine.

On the other side of the plane, four people are watching our fight. Two of them are shocked to their core that the famous Calvary can't even touch that teenage looking guy.

Especially Fitz, always talking to them and saying "this is ridiculous! How is that possible that guy is not even opening his eyes to dodge all those attacks?"

That's really true, I even let them see how big the difference in skills and techniques is when it comes to fighting. To the point that I didn't need to parry her attacks at all.

"I already told you fitz, that guy is simply a monster when it comes to a proper fight. That's why SHIELD is keeping on monitoring him except those 6 years when he was trained." Coulson

Just 3 minutes dodging her fist and kicks, I made a decision that it's time for a counter attack.

"Get ready!" I told her as I made a boxing stance. Not in defensive but in offensive stance. Melinda, seeing me offensive, she stopped attacking me continuously. She keeps her distance from within 2 meters as we can see also her deep frown. She took a big gulp, and said...

"Boxing attacking stance? You must be underestimating me too much boy!" She said as she rushed to me with her maximum output of her speed making it seem to blur on n.a.k.e.d eyes.

But not to me, it's like a slow motion on what I am seeing right now.

Just as she was about to grab my shoulders, Melinda only heard the whipping sound of wind.

Her hand stops, no, actually her whole body stops within range of her fist. The whole room seems to have stopped, while the watcher was gapping their mouth while only Coulson closed his eyes with a tranquill face. He said this to his agents...

"The fights over, let's go down and check Melinda if she's ok" before Coulson says anything, Grant Ward is already rushing through the training area.

"I'll Get the medical equipment sir!" Gemma told Coulson while still on shocked.

"Thanks... sigh" Coulson just made a deep sigh even though he knew what would happen. This fight is a one already been called a one sided match but he is still adamant to investigate my skills.

"Sir!H-how is it possible that a human can be stopped temporarily? Isn't that insane technique? if it is so, it's quite deadly if it's used in battle!" Fitz said with a shock on his face while admiring the technique used by me.

"Yeah, it is quite deadly but the problem is that only the people with talents are only one who is able to use that technique... the Heartbreak shot, one example of this is Gary who is able to use that technique.

What Ken used is quite similar, the difference is that Ken was able to knock unconscious the enemy while Jerry can only stop the movement for a second." Coulson properly explained what kind of boxing technique I used.

"Sir, is it really amazing to see it but quite dreadful if used in combat. I have recorded the punch but I have to slow it 15x just to see his punch coming through Melinda" Fitz said to Coulson as he was typing something on keyboard.

Jemma was already checking the pulse and other parts if there's something wrong with Melinda and she immediately sighed with relief. She was shocked to see that even just a tiny bit of muscles were not damaged at all, she thinks that for a person enough to get unconscious they need a great force enough to break any bones of a human, especially agents that were highly trained.

"She's just unconscious, she'll wake up for a few minutes. No need to worry about it Jem". After saying that, I carry Melinda to the laboratory. I put her to rest while assisting Jemma.

Grant came in last while Coulson was already going back to his office leaving only Fitz and Simmons in the lab, Grant greeted me, "Hey, that's a good fight. How's Melinda?" He asked.

"She's ok, nothing to worry about. I already scan her entire body and see nothing except her heart stopped for a second" Simmons gave him immediate response.

"I see... I'm leaving, I'll leave Melinda to you guys, I go back to the training room" He didn't say anymore and left the room quickly.

Simmons seemed to notice the weird behaviour of grand and she told me "He pretty fired up after seeing your fight Ken"

"Yeah, I never noticed Grant to go immediately in the training room in the bus except when he's on base" Fitz also commented on Grant's behaviour.

"Mmm... well, it's nothing much but a mock fight. He should not take it seriously, really"

After a few minutes Melinda woke up like she got a hangover, when she woke up I was already not there anymore. I was already at the side watching Grant on his training.

Grant noticed his surroundings and said to me. "You didn't take her fight seriously isn't".

"I take the fight seriously Agent Grant" hearing my answer, he was very surprised looking at me that he didn't believe what I just said.

"Hah... Don't spout nonsense to me kid. I know you didn't, cause she would already be dead if you would" he said to me only let out a dry chuckle.

"I fight him seriously, cause if I'm not this plane is already destroyed. My strength is enough to destroy this whole plane down, it's like kicking an egg without destroying it" I only see him having too many questions going on his head as I leave him to his training.

He looked at me like and said to his mind, 'what a monster…'

After 7 hours travelling through the air by using the famous plane called the "Bus" we almost arrived from our destination. It was faster than I expected, the pilot was rushing the flight so maybe he may overheard the mission this time.

*ding*

As we heard a ding sound the whole lights were on since it's already night when we reached Afghanistan. This makes us wake up from our sleep.

"Lad's we're already at our destination. Pack up your things and get ready" Coulson said to us.

"*yawnn* were there already? That was fast!" Fitz told us as he was yawning.

*booomm!*

Just we are about to get ready for our things, a loud explosion making the whole plane shake. One of the pilots tried to communicate to Coulson and said, "Sir someone just fired a missile near the military base! The thing went in our direction the same as our landing area".

Coulson is getting a headache because of it and said, "This is worse than we thought, that thing is moving quickly than our expected time of arrival".

I only look down below by opening up the cover of the plane's window. I only sigh just because I remembered something, as I told them and said, "Ahh, right I forgot that thing has that skill, he can dodge it whenever he wants."

[The Quest has been updated, due to unknown circ.u.mstances the time limit has been reduced by 2 hours.

Time Left: 5:04:24]

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Cruz?" Coulson asked me.

"I think it's better to stop the attack whoever group who made this, it's futile. That thing has an ability to hide and move instantly in a matter of seconds,and just for a record, if that thing pissed off... then we're doomed!" I said to them while still looking out the window frowning.

"So you know that thing is, kid? Also how did you know so much about that thing?" Grant asked me

"It's not I know it... it is because I have seen it. Mr. Coulson, do you have the authority to make them stop?" I told him. About the first thing I have said, technically I played that hero so I know it's ability. I just didn't want to tell them or they would look at me as an idiot.

About their attacks, I really want to stop it since it might cause huge casualties especially the civilians.

"Yeah, I can. After we land I might have to talk to the commanding officer so you guys will go on without me" he said.

Fitz suddenly interrupted us and said "Wa-wait a minute sir... are you implying that we would go... there? As in go in that death zone? You got to kidding me right? Hahaha" Fitz didn't want to go scouting the area and only let a dry laugh as if his leader was leading him to death.

"You're the only one who is able to control that drone we just made last week, just as you said, the controller must be within 500 meters, therefore, you're the one who is controlling it, who else could it be?" Coulson said to him with a slight smile on his face.

"N-no! That would be asking to bw get killed! Come on sir you can't just do that to me. I'm you're the best engineer in this whole plane right?" Fitz almost gave up on his knees because of this mission.

Coulson didn't answer Fitz as if he was not there at all and said, "well then good luck on your mission agents! And also Mr. Cruz, take care of them would ya?". He asked me with a great sincerity.

"Yeah, of course I will!" I said with a thumbs up, while Fitz can only work depressed and silently talk in his mind, 'I shouldn't come damn it!'.
