As Choda and Haven turn around, the old mans wrinkled face stares back at them. His pupils barely visible due to his droopy eyelids. He begins to rub his hands while taking deep controlled breaths of air into his lungs.
"You sure you guys dont want to help your friends before coming after a defenseless old man?".
Choda and Haven looks at eachother before looking back at the man. Haven gives Choda a nod before turning around towards Benji and Kaitlyn.
"Well old man i guess you're all mines, I would like to apologize in advance i promise i dont usually lay hands on elders".
Choda says as he starts to walk towards the man.
"Come on kiddo, be gentle with me now".
The old man reaches his hand out to Choda as he takes a few small steps forward.
"I'll make sure to make it as painless as possible sir". Choda grabs the mans hand tightly balling up his other fist and raising it.
Before he could react, choda saw a back hand on the side of his face.
SMACK!!!
Immediately sending his head turning, snot flying out of chodas nose onto the canvas.
Pfft!
Almost immediately after the old man lets go of chodas hand proceeding to karate chop Chodas throat.
Chodas eyes widen as he grabs at his neck.
The old man throws a knee at chodas abdomen before elbowing him in his back causing choda to collapse to the ground.
What the hell? No way im getting beat by someones grandpa right now...
"You underestimated me because of my appearance child, such a rookie mistake can cost you in the real world. Are you sure a weak gullible twig like you can survive in a quad?".
"Is he unconscious yet? Yea, guys we can stop he finally passed out". Kaitlyn says as she lets go of her grip starting to catch her breath.
Benji let go the the mans legs and stood up to stretch. Haven stopped kicking the man in his liver and turned over to choda.
His eyes widen.
"Is that all of them?".
Kaitlyn asks while breathing heavily.
Benji turns towards Haven stretching his arms. "Yea that should-".
"What?".
Kaitlyn says as she looks towards them.
Her eyes meet the old mans, he's standing over a hurt Choda slowly attempting to get up.
Her face goes blank.
"You gotta be kidding me".
Benji tries to hold back a laugh.
"Haaaaahahahahaaha!!! Choda you seriously let this old man beat you up".
The old man smirks as he starts to walk towards the three of them.
"Don't worry, you guys will be in the same position here soon".
Benji scratches his head with a seemingly blank face.
"You sure gramps? Seems like you might have arthritis or something ya know what i mean?". He says as he nudges Havens shoulder.
"Don't touch me freak. Let's just jump the old fucker already".
Kaitlyn cracks her knuckles, then her neck.
"Alright, lets get it over with".
The old mans mouth quivers, seemingly trying to hold back a smile.
"Come on now younglings, be gentle with an old man will you?".
Immediately Haven runs towards the old man attempting to punch him in the face with his crystallized right hand. His eyes shining the same pure green as before.
SWOOSHH
The man quickly ducks under in a frog position, he sweeps Havens leg from under him causing haven to start falling. As he's about to jump up at him Kaitlyn and Benji both come flying at him legs first.
Without any time to move out of the way the man covers himself, putting his arms in the form of an X.
BOOM
The man goes flying to the ground before rolling backwards using the momentum to get on his feet. The man quickly dashes towards Benji throwing a side kick wich lands directly on Benjis solar plexus causing him to collapse to the ground.
Kaitlyn lunges at the man arms wide, the man ducks under grabbing her waist with his right arm spinning her around before kicking her into Haven, who had just gotten up.
Both Haven and Kaitlyn fell to the ground onto eachother. Haven rolls Kaitlyn off of him before they both get back on their feet.
The man digs in his pocket pulling out a butterscotch. "You kids still know what these are right? They're just so delicious! I honestly cant seem to get enough even after seventy-four years... want one?".
Haven looks around, Choda just now getting back up to his feet and Benji still on the ground gasping for air.
The hell typa old man is this?
"Gramps im getting sick of your shit okay".
The man smiles.
"But yet you four can't do anything about my boasting, you guys lack many skills needed to be in a quad. As a team you lack chemistry, communication, willpower. By the looks of it I'd say you guys have only been fighting together for maybe a couple weeks at best, maybe a month? There's a reason an old man like myself is whooping your candy asses. You guys lack the will to defeat me in a four on one... ask yourself, why are you here. Why do you want to be in a quad, what do you want to accomplish, when do you want to accomplish it. You guys look so pitiful right now you barely communicate when yoh fight and even when you do it's still just a sloppy shit show. You should all be ashamed you came here fighting like this, I can say the same for my teammates aswell though, so who knows... maybe this is just the future of the hero industry as a whole. Lazy, sloppy, untalented, and lackluster...even now you could have atleast gotten a cheap sneak punch on me. The future isn't looking bright".
The man then gets down on one knee putting his fist on the ground.
"I forfeit".
