《Torn World》The Battles for the Future. Part VI
Advertisement
With 4 teams left on each division, the winners of each division will be decided today. Team Turncoat's chances of winning the whole tournament is extremely high and the number of bets being placed on them is breaking records. Nearly 100 platinum has been placed in bets and 70 of it is on Nathan\Tanner. The sad thing is the other 20 is placed on Joey and Bree. The other 10 has either been lost due to the people getting bet on being beat or it is on the previous commanders that are fighting to keep their spot.
The only real reason that Nathan and Tanner has more bets is because they are in the Red Division which is considered the division for the strongest people. With people thinking that Team Turncoat and Team Joey and Bree with face off in the end, people believe Team Turncoat will definitely emerge victorious. Especially after seeing Team Turncoat's win the semi-finals.
Nathan and Tanner had faced two figures that shrouded their bodies in cloaks. Both of them were a little shorter then Nathan but they were extremely muscular. Unfortunately for them, Tanner and Nathan wanted to get this one done and over with as soon as possible. Nathan ran behind his opponent at a speed barely anyone could comprehend and stabbed the man in the back. Nathan hit a nerve in the man's back, causing the cloaked man to collapse and scream in agony.
The man's teammate hadn't expected this and turned away from Tanner to see what happened. Before he could react further, a flash of light pierces his eyes, accompanied by a shield to the skull. With the instant knockout of one and the other one severely injured, Tanner and Nathan won. The crowd erupts in cheerful screams as they will most likely be making easy money.
Nathan and Tanner leave the arena with Niki right behind them. As they walk towards the other arena to see how Joey and Bree are doing, Nathan flips around one of his daggers in his hand and Tanner is reading another book. The handiwork Nathan shows while flipping the dagger around is mesmerizing to the average person and the fact Tanner easily makes his way through the crowd without bumping anyone while reading a book is nothing to scoff at. This shows how far they have come in physical prowess since the two have arrived here.

Shouts of anger and booing can be heard in the arena Joey and Bree are in as Team Turncoat arrives. Wondering what is going on, Nathan looks down into the arena and sees the predicament.
Two people sit in a blue bubble with Joey and Bree standing outside of it. Joey is punching the barrier, sending shockwaves through it but the barrier doesn't seem to be going down anytime soon. Bree is sending ice spikes at the barrier but once again, the barrier stays up and shows no signs of going down.
One of the two people inside the bubble is laughing to the point he is crying, the other one seems to be focusing on the barrier. The one who is laughing is throwing constant taunts at her opponents as they cannot reach her.
"Man, for someone who was considered one of the strongest physically in the fight, you are letting me down Joey!" the woman yells at Joey loudly. Joey takes a deep breath to not give in to the taunts and continues to pound away at the barrier. The woman is a little taller then Joey and she is extremely muscular. The other person seems to be a weak little boy thats face is getting paler and paler.
"And you, Ice Bitch, you're about as strong as a snowflake!" the woman yells, but she will regret that instantly. With the strength of 1,000 men, Joey rears his right fist back and puts all of his strength into. As Joey sends his right fist forward and hits the shield, the sound of an explosion is heard and the arena is filled with dirt and dust. Everyone goes silent as nothing can be seen nor heard.
The only ones that can still hear at the moment are people with strong bodies and weak senses. Tanner wasn't affect by the sound but Nathan is currently clutching his ears and rolling around in pain as he has extremely keen senses. As the dust and dirt settles, two people are left standing. Bree, who has her hands over her ears from the sound of the explosion, and Joey, who has smoke rising from his fist.

Joey's right gauntlet is completely shattered and lays in pieces on the ground. Joey's fist is slightly bloodied as cuts have appeared on it and Joey is breathing heavily.
"Who's the bitch now?" Joey says as a taunt. The one who he said this too is firmly planted into the wall. If you would follow the cone of destruction caused by Joey's fist, you would a 100' long indent in the ground that is about 70' wide. Inside of the cone shaped indent is disheveled dirt and debris from the rocks below.
At the end of the cone is the large woman and her partner. Her partner is in the woman's arms since he would've splattered against the wall and most likely would of died instantly. The young boy is unconscious and the large woman can't move a single muscle.
With the arena being nearly destroyed and one team unable to fight, the fight ends, Joey and Bree being the ones who are coming out victorious.
Joey falls down to one knee and Bree makes her way to him. The first to make it there is Nathan though as he instantly appears beside him. Nathan used Accelerated Step and jump from the stands to land in the arena and run towards Joey.
Nathan crouches down and puts himself under Joey's armpit to help him back up. Joey leans on Nathan heavily as he feels like he will pass out soon. Bree shows up and wraps Joey's whole arm in water that begins to glow brightly. Nathan helps Joey back inside and too a room for Joey to be able to rest while Bree walks next to them and continues to heal Joey.
As Nathan walks Joey through the hallways of the arena he is the least familiar with, Tanner and Niki manage to find the wandering three people. Niki runs up to Joey and opens the door beside her. The door she opens is a bathroom and waves for Nathan to take Joey in there immediately. Nathan takes Joey in the bathroom and lays Joey down onto the wood floor. The pain in Joey's right arm is disappearing but he still feels like passing out.
Tanner forms a ball of light infront of himself and puts the ball of light into the water. The water and the light fuse together and the water turns green. Joey can feel all of his pain instantly subside and his body be filled with vigor and strength. Wondering what Tanner did, Bree decides to ask.
"What was that?" Bree asks. Tanner laughs slightly as the books he has been reading has paid off.
"Our spells worked together and created a greater spell. It is something that is commonly used, the only problem is sometimes it doesn't work and the two spells make an unexpected outcome if they are not compatible. Since it was two healing spells, they work well together." Tanner says confidently. Niki looks confused as she thought everyone knew this and wonders why Bree is so amazed.
Joey sits up and gives Tanner a smile. He is amazed that Tanner has spent the time and has the dedication to learn a lot about this new world so intensely and quickly. With Joey being okay, Nathan lets out a breath of relief and smiles at Joey.
"Man, you really pack a punch huh? You even broke your gauntlets." Nathan says sarcastically while pointing at Joey's bare hand. Joey laughs and shakes his head.
"Yeah, this really hurts my ability to fight since this is my main punching hand but now it has no protection. I guess I'll have to be more careful now." Joey says with a tinge of sadness in his voice. Niki shakes her head back and forth and Joey raises an eyebrow.
"I'll buy you a new gauntlet. I mean the future of my kingdom is on the line and I can't have my guards being anything but 100%. Right?" Niki says with a warm smile.
"Yeah, I guess you're right... Thank you." Joey says with a thankful voice.

Breakers
My name is Joo In-gong. The name that my parents gave me meant ‘protagonist’ of the world. As anyone can predict, I was constantly teased due to my name. In kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school. If I went to university as planned then I would probably be laughed at there as well. So, at one point, I really hated my name. But not anymore. Now, I think slightly differently. Maybe being named Joo In-gong was a type of foreshadowing?

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
