The showdown duel between Zay and Jaiven was about to begin. The barrier forms around the two as the rest of the group spectates.
Tre- So, who do you think will win?
Toby- Can't you use your future sight to see what happens?
Tre- Nah man it's only automatic when I'm fighting. Besides I don't actually see the future I can just see a person's movement before it's made. It requires a level of focus to operate effectively. I could easily read one person, but if I had to fight multiple people it'll be hard to see everything.
Jalaan- So basically he doesn't know.
Tre while laughing- Yep but c'mon...where's the fun if you know everything?
Toby- Well if that's the case then the winner is obviously clear.
Jalaan while laughing- Yeah but just imagine...if Jaiven did win?
Jalaan stopped laughing he realized Toby and Tre were staring seriously at him.
Toby and Tre- WTF DUDE!
Jalaan- What? What did I do?
Toby- You just jinxed the fight.
Tre- Congratulations, you suck.
Toby- Let the duel BEGIN!
Zay dashed towards Jaiven. Before he could even react Zay was throwing a vicious right punch.
Jaiven-(Damn he's fast, he really just speed blitz me. Is the fight gonna end here?)
As Zay swings with a right hook, everyone stares in shock as Jaiven ducked down to dodge the attack.
Zay-(I missed?)
Jaiven-(I dodged?)
Toby and Tre looks over to Jalaan making faces of disgust. Jalaan starts whistling while playing with his fingers.
Jaiven-(Gotta make the most out of this.)
Jaiven springs upwards slapping Zay in the face.
Zay-(Did he just slap me?)
Shortly after Zay's face was sliced in the area Jaiven slapped him in. Jaiven followed up with multiple slaps causing slashes wherever he hits Zay.
Jaiven-(Punching him wouldn't do much damage. So I'll just keep striking him with slaps, mostly aiming for exposed skin.)
Zay looks at the cuts on his body then stares at Jaiven who is holding his guards up hands opened(having more of a martial arts stance). He grunted then charged at Jaiven throwing a series of punches each one aiming for the head. Jaiven dodges them all while swiftly, and fluidly counter attacking with slaps. Zay goes for another punch which is dodged by Jaiven as he slaps Zay's arm with both hands slicing it as well.
Tre- Is Jaiven moving faster cause of the jinx or is he actually faster than Zay?
Toby- With Zay being heavyweight class he would naturally have the strength advantage. However, with Jaiven being a lighter weight class we would have the advantage in speed.
Tre- True, but even so Zay was moving so fast earlier. I could've sworn he was faster.
Toby- I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet being a power type yourself.
Hearing the words power type clicked in Tre's mind and he was able to piece it together.
Tre- He isn't moving fast. He can just use his strength to charge in one direction.
Toby- Yep, and with a duel ability like that he could end fights without even trying.
Tre- Too bad Jalaan jinxed him.
Zay starts to breathe heavy as blood drips from multiple cut wounds.
Zay-(I can't keep this up for long. I'm trying to hurry up and end this...I just need one face shot. He knows this as well, that's probably why he's able to dodge so easily. I'm gonna have to change it up a little.)
Jaiven-(He stopped? Looks like he's no longer acting on instincts, and is actually gonna try to hit me. Since he's actually trying now, I should go all out.) Come on then.
The two dashed towards each other. The three were amazed to see Jaiven heading towards Zay. He attempts to throw a punch but is instantly stopped by Jaiven kneeing him in the face. As the two land Jaiven proceeds to hit him with a couple slaps before adding in some elbow hits as well as kicks. Zay's clothes are shredding away from the slicing Jaiven is causing from his combo.
Zay-(It's almost like he's covered in blades.)
Zay imagines Jaiven with daggers sticking out of each piece of clothing he has on. Jaiven then dashed downwards towards Zay. Getting low before springing upwards uppercutting him(with a slap still). Jaiven jumps winding back a right punch as he felt it was the right time to go for it. He punches Zay in the face causing him to hit the ground with a bloody nose. The barrier drops as the duel has concluded.
Jaiven- LET'S GO! I actually won against Zay.
Toby and Tre looks at each other before laughing.
Jaiven- WHAT'S SO FUNNY!
Toby- The only reason you won was because Jalaan jinxed you.
Jaiven- Wha...
He looks over to Jalaan with an expression of menacing confusion.
Jalaan in a nervously sarcastic voice- You're welcome?
Zay while slowly getting up- Man, I knew something was up the moment he dodged my first attack.
Jaiven- Well whether Jalaan cheated or not. I still won and I'm counting that win.
Toby- You're the only person counting that win though.
Jaiven- Don't care.
Tre's phone starts to ring as he pulls it out his pocket to answer. Everyone watches Tre as he starts walking off while continuing his conversation.
Zay- Well your buying me a new shirt cause this is ridiculous.
Jaiven- I mean in my defense I didn't want to fight you.
Jalaan- Trust me, that's a weak defense.
Toby- An unacceptable defense at that.
Jaiven- We were fighting I'm not paying for collateral damage.
Zay- You will pay or we're fighting again without the dueling.
Jaiven- Fine with me.
Jaiven slides over putting his arm around Jalaan.
Jaiven- You got me again don't you?
Jalaan- I wouldn't count on it.
Tre- Alright turds time to get to business.
Everyone looks in Tre's direction and sees Brandon besides him.
Brandon- This place looks better than I thought. Oh yeah, we can work with this.
