Kapitel 5: Chapter 5- First battle (2)-paralysis is overpowered
"Ruth!" Ethan shouted as he ran to his wife's side. "Ugh, this hurts like hell", Ruth groaned as she looked at her nonexistent arm. "We can't save it", Ethan said, "but don't you move a centimeter, although your arm is crushed, we can't move it for further damage. You won't be able to fight like this anyway, so I'll take care of this".
"Dad, I'll help you too", David said. "Like hell you will! Go home, and we'll have a VERY long talk about what you did", Ethan replied in anger. "I helped Mom", David protested, "she would have died without me". "You jumped into a WARZONE!" Ethan yelled. "I'm ready for this, I can take them out. As a matter of fact, I already took one out with Mom", David insisted. "I DON'T CARE! YOU HAVE ZERO EXPERIENCE ON A BATTLE FILED, NO MATTER HOW STRONG YOU ARE, YOU'RE BOUND TO MAKE A MISTAKE! NOT TO MENTION THAT YOU'RE FOUR! ACT YOUR AGE, DAMNIT! Go home, I'm not letting you die like this" Ethan didn't back down.
"Oh? You want to go somewhere?". 4 gang members started to surround them from each direction, as Ethan and David slowly retreated from the collapsed wall to distract them from the crippled Ruth. "Go David, I'll create an opening for you", Ethan declared as he prepared his spear while standing back to back with David. "You want the kid to escape? Your wife is right behind me, I'll kill her if you try
", A gang member teased Ethan as he eyed the defenseless Ruth.
"Dad, you don't have a choice in this, I'll help you out!" David got into a battle stance without waiting for his father to respond. "Damnit! Fine, you can't escape now anyway", Ethan agreed, "If we're already at this point, I might as well teach you a couple of things. Lesson one, don't attack recklessly until you know their quirks, you need to provoke them first". "Are you sure talking about your plan in front of us is a good idea?", another gang member asked. "Why? Do you need an equal playing field against some quirkless?" Ethan retorted. "Yeah, right. You killed like half our men, you think we're still going to give you handicaps?", the gang members started to close in on the pair.
"David, catch!" Ethan threw one of Ruth's daggers that he picked up to David. "Your Bo Staff is a good weapon, but you don't know how to use it proficiently so just stab them for now". David caught the dagger and nodded. "So you got another weapon? You'll still die, kid!" a gang member ran at David while his hands grew spikes. David used one hand to strike the gang member in front of him with his staff, which caused the gang member to scoff. "What is that puny stick going t-" the gang member couldn't finish his sentence. Not only did the staff hurt like hell, he suddenly lost his basic ability to move. "Don't overestimate yourself", David said while quickly stabbing the man through the neck.
''..."
"What just happened?" A gang member asked, but before he could hear an answer, a spear went through his heart. While the other gang members were still in shock, Ethan fought countless battles and so he quickly recuperated and used the new opening for his advantage and killed the enemy in front of him. "Lesson two, don't leave openings! Now spin" Ethan declared as he and David rotated to face each of the remaining men head-on. "Kill the kid!" the two remaining men quickly charged at David, seeing as he cased a weird phenomenon, with Ethan quickly jumping in to block one of the men. unfortunately, the man had a speed quirk, and so he avoided Ethan and made him fall to the ground by outmaneuvering him. David held the staff by one of its ends and swung his staff horizontally in a clumsy rotation in an attempt to hit both the man in front of him and the one to his back. The men weren't stupid, and they ducked to avoid the staff this time. They didn't know what happened since everyone was quirkless, but they figured out that maybe a quirk user with the ability to make items gifted the staff to them.
Unfortunately for them, David quickly spun around to strike them one again since were still somewhat far from him. "Shit, he's aiming low! Jump!" one of the men realized the trajectory of David's swing and warned his partner. they both jumped, but that was David's plan. David dropped the dagger and used his second hand to grab the staff, and with great effort, he managed to change the staff's trajectory to a horizontal climb upwards. The man in front dodged the staff, but the staff was already high enough to hit the man behind when it reached him. The man was in the air, and so he was unable to dodge.
The staff hit the man in his leg, and he suddenly felt weird. "Dad!" David yelled. Ethan immediately realized his intentions, and stabbed the man through his stomach and then his head when he reached the ground. "Shit!" The last man said as he spat some green saliva towards David. "Dodge it!" Ethan yelled but it was too late for David to respond as his back was against the man from his rotation. Ethan didn't hesitate as he tackled David to the ground, but the man's spit hit his left eye as a result. "AAAHH" Ethan roared in pain as his eye began to melt.
David's eyes widened. Feeling his father's now liquid eye drip onto his cheek felt horrible. David realized his mistake cost his father an eye, and he was ashamed. "Dad I'm sorry", David weakly said, afraid of his father's response. "Now's not the time, David. We will have a talk about this, don't you worry, but for now you need to focus since I need to adapt. Also, lesson three, don't show weakness in front of an enemy. It will just motivate them". Ethan calmed David and retreated to allow his son to fight. He couldn't help his son if he were to hit him accidentally with his lacking eyesight.
"Come, boy. I'll make you match your father's look". The man threatened. David didn't answer, but he picked up Ruth's dagger that was lying beside him. David threw the dagger at the man. The dagger spun around in an embarrassing fashion, causing the man to laugh in mockery. "Hahaha! You're desperate, aren't you? To think your throwing skills were this bad". The man decided that it will be a waste of effort to dodge the dagger since only it's hilt will hit him with a pathetic amount of force. What the man didn't know, however, was that the dagger was enchanted. The man panicked as his body went numb, refusing to listen to his orders. David knew his paralysis would last a couple of seconds at best, so he didn't waste time. David ran and picked up the fallen dagger that lay at the man's feet and before the man recovered from the effect, David stabbed him in the heart.
"Worthless scum", a curse was heard across the empty street. All the terrified quirkless ran away to their home, leaving only Ethan, Ruth, David, And the leader. "Fine, I'll do it myself", the leader closed in.
