Six Warriors

Iron Fist - (Sam)

Right after school hours ended, Sam was back in the place where they used to ride the aerialboards. He then met Emma's troubled brother James. He was a fourteen-year-old rebellious boy with tanned skin and earrings. He wore a cap and also walked very well on aerialboard. 

"Who is this sucker?" James asked his sister pointing to Sam.

"It's my friend Sam" Emma replied "and don't call him a sucker" Sam noticed that the boy had a black eye.

"Hello" Sam greeted. James just skated ignoring it.

"Sorry my brother" Emma asked "he's kind of... Rebel you know?"

"No problem."

"Thanks" she smiled, "so what? Are we going to skate in the air or not?" She took Sam's hand, and he smiled, and for a moment he was at peace, but a simple scream broke everything.

"Get out!" Someone shouted. It was James' voice. "Want to fight again? This time I'm going to break you all!"

Sam looked over and saw eight boys surrounding James. They wore ripped denim vests, and the symbol of their g**g on their backs, the Iron Fist g**g, which was the design of a spiked steel gauntlet. 

"You're really brave aren't you?" Said a boy holding James' collar "butting with us again."

"You are the brave ones. You are in our area you suckers!"

"Screw you, you are all wimps!" The boy holding James spat in his face. Emma ran to her brother's support.

"Hey, hey. What's going on here?"

"There's James' sister's tramp," laughed one of the boys. "Get out, we're just going to hurt him a little, he needs a little lesson."

Emma whistled and suddenly five boys appeared, wearing caps with a aerialboard on fire embroidered.

"Are you crazy?" Asked that guy Eric "this is our area, it's BOARDERS territory. We're not afraid of you Iron Fists."

"Should have," said the boy holding James by the collar. James tried to leave, but the boy wouldn't let him.

"Let him go!" Emma ordered.

"We are still higher numbered." The boy replied, "Besides, in a little while more of our partners will arrive. Give up, our brotherhood would crush yours."

"Let him go," Sam ordered "or your club will become the Phantom Lord's enemy!"

"Phantom Lord?" Laughed the boy "what the hell is this? Never heard of it."

"Still" Emma replied "you can't face Lord and Boarders together can you?"

"Is that a challenge, you...?" And then he cursed Emma with a nasty name that made Sam angry.

Silence hung for a few seconds. James tried to free himself again, but ended up getting punched in the pit of the stomach. Eric and his cronies advanced against the Iron Fist members. One of the members attacked Emma, who tried to fight, but was knocked down, and then, Sam lunged at this boy and got kicked in the chest, falling backwards breathlessly. The boy laughed in his face. Sam stood up with a hand on his chest. Eric was held by a boy and beaten by the one who had held James just minutes before. The Boarders members resisted, and discovered the hard way why Iron Fist was one of the most powerful unofficial clubs in the academy. Three more members of the rival club appeared.

"Emma, go get help!" Eric ordered.

"If you see any of my friends" Sam said, "have them summon the Phantom Lord."

Emma nodded in agreement and then ran to get help. Eric was still battered, James was already on the ground, being kicked by two Iron Fist boys.

"WIND BLAST!!" Sam yelled, as gusts of wind tore from his hands. He took down two boys, but that wouldn't stop them for long.

"LUMINOUS STING!!" yelled a boy, the same boy who had beaten Eric and James. A kind of stinger of light flickered menacingly toward Sam. The wind's chosen one narrowly deflected, and the attack hit the ground, damaging it.

"This guy's strong," Sam thought uncomfortably, "maybe stronger than me, maybe the strongest around here."

"Hey you idiots!" Called out a voice known to Sam there, it was Emma, with her were ten people on aerialboards, all of them in that bonnet that identified them as Boarders members. The members of the two teams exchanged frowns.

"Hey hey" Someone called "What's going on here?" asked a thin voice. It came from a small boy, with pointy ears, shrewd eyes, and thick brown hair, which was sticking straight up. He wore his school uniform and had a yellow armband with something on it and a name written on it: Inspector. Sam knew him, he was the boy who called himself Skirp.

"Nothing, Mr Inspector," Emma replied. "We were just aerialboarding and practicing some spells."

"Excellent." Skirp replied, "Do this more carefully as I'm seeing some injured students. I suggest you use protection and take your injured friends to the infirmary." Saying this, he continued on his way.

"You were lucky this time," said the boy who beat James and Eric. "But you have the enmity of our brotherhood. You guys messed up badly, you suckers."

"What are you going to do?" Defiantly asked a boy who had just arrived.

"We're going to smash your clubs. Both of you, to set an example. Boarders, and the newly formed Ghost Lord will be extinct. Remember that, in my name, Jaden Longshard."

"The right name is Phantom Lord" Sam corrected.

"Whatever, you trash." So the members of Iron Fist left. Emma went running to check on James and Eric, kneeling next to them.

"James, are you alright?" She asked her brother.

"I am." James replied, frowning "Damn, if I was in the mood for a fight I would have finished them off."

"And you Eric?" Emma asked.

."Yes I am. It doesn't hurt that much." He smiled mischievously "the mouth is throbbing, my mother would kiss my hand when hurt, can you do that here?" And he pointed to his lips.

Emma sighed and stood up.

"Yeah, he's fine."

Boarders members laughed, and Sam felt a pang of jealousy.
