  Spear said, “I can’t do it.”

  Jack replied, “I thought you’d say that, so I took the liberty of placingsome bombs all around the city before you got here.” Spear said, “What! You’re lying.” Jack said, “I told you, I’d do whatever it took to win. Now you’ve got ten seconds before I press this trigger . . . and don’t think about knocking it out of my hand because it’s on a dead man's trigger and the bombs are voice controlled so either you kill me or the city goes up in smoke. . So five . . . four . . . three . . . two . . .”

  Spear screamed, “ NOOOOO!” and did another Palm Crush strike on him, making the crater expand to sixty yards in diameter, breaking all the windows on the buildings around them setting off car alarms. All the cars in the area started to slide down towards them in the crater.

  Jack’s skin turned from the granite color to his regular tan skin, and he coughed up more blood. He said, “That sucks, I guess I was tougher than I thought.” He then said to Spear, “Get outta here.”

  Spear said, “What do you mean?” Jack pressed the trigger, and Spear grabbed him by the collar and yelled, “What are you doing? You said you wouldn’t blow up the buildings if I hit you one more time!”

  Jack chuckled and said, “I lied, I never did place bombs around the city.” A noise started going off. Beep . . . beep . . . beeep.

  Spear said, “What is that?” He then opened up Jack’s vest and saw the small bombs lining his vest. He listened closer and heard the beeping coming from his pants too.

  Spear pleaded with him, “What are you doing?” Jack said, “Your little friends’ employers plan on taking my gift and making it theirs. I can’t let that happen. I went through hell to get this gift, and I won’t let a bunch of Bludgers get their hands on me gift.

  Spear yelled, “What do you mean?!” Jack replied, “Ask your little friend Ice. Now get out, you only have thirty seconds, and don’t try to move me or the bombs will go off automatically.”

  Spear put him back down and backed away. Jack yelled, “Spear!”

  Spear answered, “Yea”

  Jack replied, “Don’t ever lose that fire you got inside, ya heard.”

  Spear replied, “Got it.” as he backed out of the crater. When Spear was out of the crater, it began to collapse slowly and the cars slowly slid toward Jack. The beeping got louder and quicker. The Samantha and the crowd of people began walking towards the finished fight. Spear ran toward them and screamed for everybody to run before the bombs went off. Everyone started running away in panic; the people on the other side of Jack heard Spear ran in the opposite direction. Spear caught up to the people and tried to help them get away before the beeping came to a stop and there was a huge explosion. The explosion shook the ground causing everyone to fall. Cars flew through the air, slamming into third and second floors of buildings getting stuck halfway in. Two cars on fire were flying toward Spear and the citizens. Exhausted, Spear looked at the people behind him and saw the fear in their eyes. He spread his legs and put his hands to his sides. He focused his energy, and right before the two car crashed on them, he whispered, “Double… Cannon… PUNCH” as he put both his fists out and twisted his wrist releasing all the energy he had left. The energy from both fists at the same time destroyed the cars in midair.

  He then dropped to his knees from exhaustion. The Samantha hugged him and kissed him on the cheek as everyone surrounded him. Everyone started cheering him on and asking questions but he was not in the mood right now to answer. He jumped out from between them and landed in the open space. He said, “Sorry, I’m not in this for fame. Be safe everybody.” He then took out a couple of his smoke bombs and threw them on the ground. He opened a manhole and retreated to the sewer. When the smoke cleared, Spear was nowhere to be found.

  The Samantha looked at the camera and said, “And there you have it. Spear our local hero. Some say a vigilante that should be controlled, the people here say and I myself saw first hand he’s a hero that should be honored by all.”

  On to the top of the building, Black Ice looking over the edge. He said to himself, “I guess you don’t always need my help.” He then went invisible and disappeared.
