Zero Valkyrie Chapter 15

ZERO VS. GREEN ROSE




Auroun sat on the bench in the locker room feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders.  He was so involved with Lilim and Jean's epic bout that he forget his own fight with Lena. To make matters worse he made out with Lena so that was probably going to make things more awkward. The moment had finally arrived for him to fight a real match this time. Auroun looked at his hands to make sure his bright red padded fingerless gloves were on tight, the wrappings around his feet  ankles were secured, and he had his mouthguard in one hand. Auroun looked like a real fighter wearing his long black shorts. On it was the letter "Z" which was the symbol for Zero with graphic designs swirling around it. He was all set but was he ready mentally?

"Come on Auroun it's time. We have to be out there first," said Captain.

"Oh ok." Auroun stood up but he wasn't walking.

"What's wrong," Captain asked.

"Coach. Do you really think I'm ready for this?"

Captain went over to him and he rested one hand on Auroun's shoulder. "Auroun I wouldn't let you go out there if I didn't think you had a fair shot." He smiled warmly. "All your hard work as led you up to this moment. Just stay calm and remember everything I taught ya. It will be fine. You just have to have some confidence."

Auroun smirked feeling a little better. "Thanks Coach."

"Come on kid you have to get out there."

To Auroun it was a long walk to the door that led to the ring. Auroun walked closely behind Captain. He looked around seeing if he could spot Lilim in one of the rooms. But he didn't see her. He was hoping Lilim would wish him good luck or give him some pointers for his first official match. Auroun and Captain made there way down the isle passing the crowd of teenagers and young adults. He noticed most of them turned towards him. Alot of them looked like they were talking about him. Auroun hoped it was good things. When he finally reached the ring. Captain parted the ropes for him to slip through. Auroun was hesitant at first but he climbed in. When he stood up he got a better view at the crowd that was gathering around. It looked like even more people were attending this fight than Lilim's.

"Why are there so many more people," asked Auroun.

"Because your a new male fighter in the league. Alot of people want to see if your any good. Plus most fans that come to the Endless League fights haven't seen a mixed match in a long time."

Auroun looked around. There must of been more than a hundred people now. "So there all here to see me fight?"

"Pretty much. And the other fighter isn't bad on the eyes either."

"Great." Auroun sighed.

"Just ignore the crowd. Try to loosen up and relax."

Auroun moved around trying to keep his body relaxed and to keep the large crowd out of his mind. What made matters worse he still didn't see Lilim. Where was she? After he did a couple more stretches he heard people cheering. At first he couldn't see anything but then he saw a clump of people moving towards the ring. Auroun's stomach felt like it knotted up more when he saw Lena enter the ring on the other side. Lena was wearing a green spaghetti strap sports bra that held and pressed her large D-size breast tightly together. Her white small shorts with green trim wrapped around her perfect tight bottom. Her black spiky short hair with green at the tips were a perfect matching color with her gloves and wrappings around her feet and ankles. Lena was one hot chick who every guy wanted to get with. Even Auroun was starting to hate himself for not sleeping with her when she offered but that was in the past now.

The ref finally walked in the middle of the ring. "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the second main Endless League match. In the red corner wearing the black shorts, with red trim. It is his first Endless League match. Say hello to Auroun the new Zerooooo!!"

No one didn't applaud which wasn't surprising to Auroun. He knew he would have to work hard if he wanted to get noticed by anyone. Then one person's voice roared in the building.

"Yeaaaaaah go Auroun you the man you can do it," yelled Captain.

Auroun gave him a 'what are you doing' look. Captain clapped and smiled giving Auroun the thumbs up. Auroun turned away. "Oh good god." He said trying to cover his face with his hand

"And in the blue corner wearing the green top, in the white shorts with green trim. It is also her first Endless League debut lets give it up for Green Rose Lenaaaaaaa," yelled the Ref. Lena raised her glove in the air as more people in the crowd cheered for her. The ref got both fighters to the center. It was nothing new. Auroun already knew all the rules. "Alright go to your corner and come out frighten when the bell rings."

"Good luck Auroun. Be good to me okay," smiled Lena.

"Heh I'll do the best I can. Good luck to you Lena," said Auroun as he bumped gloves with her.

Both went back to their corners. Auroun looked around one last time for Lilim but she was still gone. "Well looks like I'm all alone."

"Your never alone kid," said Captain. "I'll be here with you every step of the way. And so will Lilim. Just take a deep breath and keep a cool head."

Auroun nodded. "Thanks coach."

"Oh and two more things. Lose the shirt."

Auroun forgot he still had it on. Auroun hated when other people saw him with his shirt off. It always embarrassed him. He didn't want to take it off especially with so many people around this time. But it wasn't up for debate. He cursed under his breath as he took his shirt off and handed it to his coach.

"And here's your mouthguard," he said giving it to his student. "You'll do fine kid. Just have confidence. I know you can do it." Captain smiled and exited the ring leaving Auroun alone.

("Wow Auroun not a bad bod you got there.") Lena thought to herself checking out the muscles around Auroun's chest, shoulders, arms, and stomach. ("Now I'm really going to make you regret not going to bed with me.") She smirked.

"Lena we don't know much about this guy. So I want you to study him in the first round. But if you see an opening go for it." Jacob said gently messaging Lena's tanned shoulders. Lena nodded and bit down on her mouthguard.


Auroun's heart started racing knowing the bell was going to chime at any moment. Never in his life had Auroun ever done any combat sports or exercises when he was growing up.  The women in the Endless League were not your average girl you would run into when you go out. Lilim beat Auroun with ease when they had their practice bout. And Jean was a fairly new fighter and she defeated Lilim. And Auroun was certain there were others like Lilim and Jean. Maybe even stronger. These women were not only beautiful but deadly as well. There were not equal to men. In the Endless League world the women were stronger. Could he ever stand a chance against them? Would Lilim ever see him a strong man? All these thoughts raced through his mind and then vanished when he heard the bell chime out loud starting round 1.

"Well here I go." Auroun held his red gloves up to protect his face.

Lena traveled back and forth with her gloves raised infront of her chin. Lena went in with a low punch. Auroun saw it and dropped his guard but Lena stopped her attack the moment he did. She followed with a light jab but it didn't even hit Auroun it was nothing but another fake jab. Again Lena made it look she was going for another low jab but stopped the moment Auroun dropped his guard to his abdomen. Auroun guessed she was trying to throw him off or psyche him out. But he wasn't going to let her. Lena went for a higher punch but it was another fake. The look on Lena's face looked like she was on the verge of smiling. Like she knew exactly how everything was going to go.

Auroun put it out of his mind as he squeezed his fists ready to go. Both fighters stared at each other for several seconds none of them attacking. Until Lena finally dropped her green fingerless gloves infront of her busty chest leaving her head wide open to attack. Auroun didn't waste any time. He went in throwing a right cross towards her nose. But Auroun was surprised to see her duck underneath it with rapid speed and counter with three punches to his stomach. "Unnnng, uuuuh, aaah," grunted Auroun. Auroun took a couple steps back trying to fight off the pain. Before Auroun could recover Lena whacked him with a clean hook kick across the face. Making some saliva fall from his lips. The hit rocked Auroun's vision and made him see double for a second. He was dumbfounded for a second until he saw Lena ready to throw a mean right cross. Auroun blocked the hit just in time before it shot into his skull. Auroun was glad he stopped it but he couldn't believe the strength Lena had behind her attack. "Woah that would of really hurt. I have to be really carful." The spiky haired beauty took a few steps back and hopped a few times on her toes trying to keep lose. Auroun had to admire her beauty and her strength. But he didn't admire the grin that grew on her face. It was as if she was taunting him.

He growled to himself not wanting to get pushed around. Auroun got in close enough and launched a kick at Lena's head. Lena jolted her head back and watched as his foot passed by. Lena countered back with her own hook kick. Auroun was ready this time and he blocked it with his arm. Auroun then countered with a right left jab and then finished with a right hook. Lena blocked the two punches and dodged the hook and countered with a crushing mid uppercut to Auroun's abdomen. Making him grunt louder in pain. The hit hurt alot more this time making Auroun lower his guard covering that area. Lena knew Auroun was in pain and she didn't waste anymore time causing him more pain when she landing more fast hard jabs to his face and forehead. Snapping his head back and releasing more drops of saliva. Lena then finished her combo off landing a right hook crashing into the side of the jaw shooting his head over his shoulder causing more spit to fly from his lips. Auroun was in a punch drunk daze but he knew he had to get out of it. Auroun shot a blind uppercut Lena's  light brown eyes grew wide but she managed to barley dodge it, but after she did she let Auroun have it again with left hook. Making Auroun "aaah!" As his head turned the other way. Lena didn't let up smashing Auroun with a right cross his cheeks and a left cross to his right eye. Putting Auroun more in a punch drunk state.

"Auroun Grab her," yelled Captain.

Auroun was able to hear his coaches advice and he wrapped his arms around Lena stopping her assault. Auroun was panting fast as he was trying to he the air back that Lena forced from him. Lena felt his hot breath on the back of her neck. She knew Auroun was struggling. "I told you I wasn't going to hold back on you," Lena smiled. Auroun's green eyes lit up surprised that she said the same thing to him yesterday after she left him. "I thought you were going to be harder to beat. I guess I was wrong." Lena giggled. "But if you give up now. I promise i'll let you do anything you want to me after," Lena said in a sexy tone pressing her breasts up against Auroun making sure he felt them on his bare chest. Hearing that snapped Auroun out of his daze. Being a man he hated to admit that it sounded like a good idea. But then he remembered all the hard training sessions he went through. The promise he made to Lilim to be as strong as her so that she would notice him more. Auroun bit down harder on his mouthguard. "That's not funny," he said in her ear. It wasn't the reply Lena was hoping for. "Stop toying with me and fight," yelled Auroun. Still in the hug he then distanced himself from Lena enough for him to fire his kneecap into her unguarded abdomen. "Aaaaaah," screamed Lena as her eyes lit up and her mouth gaped opened almost losing her mouthpiece. Lena slipped away from Auroun guarding her mid-section. Auroun then shifted his weight and clobbered Lena on the side of her head with his kick making her grunt in pain. "That's for the fake kiss from yesterday."  He then fired a swift three jab combo hitting Lena in the head, and cheek. Auroun held a tight fists has he prepared a stronger attack. Before the spiky haired fighter could react Auroun saw his hammer of a right hook land on the side of Lena's jaw making her eyes close shut, mist of her spit shooting from her lips, and dots of sweat showering from her lose spiky bangs

Lena's eye sight was blurry but it quickly came back to normal. After she endured the last hit she help up her green gloves and blocked off more punches from causing her harm. Auroun punched and punched trying to break through. But he realized it was worthless and he was just wasting his energy. So he back off and saw an opening on her mid-section and he landed a hard sidekick to her rips making her, "Uuuuhhh!" The hit hurt but the pain went away after a few seconds. Lena decided to strike back throwing a high kick, but Auroun saw it clearly and he had his arm stop it  from hitting his head. After the attack the bell rang ending round 1. The audience cheered and clapped happy that it was a good round. Auroun was mad that the bell chimed stopping the fight. He was totally focused on trying to beat Lena.

Auroun sat down trying to steady his breathing rate. Auroun showed some damage on his face showing redness on both sides of his cheeks. A tiny cut also formed underneath his right eye. It stung but so far it wasn't bleeding. His stomach was also sore but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle.

Captain took his mouthguard out and cleaned it off. "Ok you had a rocky start but i'll admit I was surprised to see you go back at her like that. It looked like she was saying something to you during that hug."

Auroun took a deep breath and exhaled. "She told me......."

"It's fine kid," Captain said stopping Auroun's sentence short. "You don't need to tell me. I've heard of fighters trying to bribe other fighters during a match all the time. And I'm guessing she offered you something and you refused her with a knee to the gut. Am I about right," asked his coach with a grin on his face.

Auroun blinked in surprise. "Yeah that's about it. How did you know?"

"Uuuuuh I've seen a few things here and there." Captain shrugged. "But seriously Auroun listen. That Lena girl is good at countering your attacks."

"Yeah I know," said Auroun rubbing his cheek.

"So here's what I think you should do."

At Green Rose's corner Jacob was also giving Lena some advice. But Lena wasn't really listening. She already knew what she was going to-do. Lena sat on her stool hunched forward looking past her coach Jacob and gazing at Auroun. She was annoyed and angry with him. Lena was use to getting whatever she wanted. Especially when it came to men. "I can't believe he rejected me. That bastard has some nerve. I thought for sure trying to give myself to him would make his fighting more sloppy. But I guess I was wrong. I'll keep hitting you till you beg me to stop Zero. I always get what I want." Lena thought to herself. Lena then acquired her mouth guard and stood up in her corner. Her body didn't display any external damage except for some slight redness on her cheeks. She was determined to make Auroun pay dearly now.

Both fighters met in the center right after the bell chimed for round 2. Lena went in holding her gloves in front of her chest leaving her face and gut open to attack. Auroun knew it had to be a trick to lure him in so she could counter him. "Nice try but I am not falling for that." Auroun shot a fake jab making Lena move to the side. Auroun then moved his left fist making it look like he was going to attack making Lena move to the side. But she realized it was another false attack. Auroun did another convincing fake jab again making Lena step to the side. Making Auroun finally launch his real attack. Lena saw his kick aiming at her head. She barley dodged it feeling the force of the wind behind it. Lena shot back only kicking Auroun's arm. Auroun tried again for another fake punch but Lena had enough of it. She quickly jabbed at him making Auroun move his head to the side dodging it. Auroun kept alert and he moved away from a left cross. Auroun dodged numerous attacks. After Auroun ducked under a right hook. Auroun finally saw a good opening and he countered with a right uppercut to the jaw. "Uuaaaah," screamed Lena as her head snapped back releasing some spit from her lips scrambling her vision a little. The impact made her take a couple steps back. Before Lena could react Auroun let her have it with a right hook to the side of the jaw. Making her head sway to the side. Auroun followed up with a left hook crushing into Lena's cheeks making her scream in pain and causing more globs of spit to shoot from her lips. As much as the two hooks hurt  it actually made her vision snap back to normal. Lena bit down hard on her mouthguard and she came back smacking her opponent with a surprised uppercut. Auroun's head shot up to the side almost losing his mouthguard. He was more shocked on how she came back so quickly. Before he knew it he felt her padded leather dig into his cheek again making him grunt. Then he endured three more jabs all hitting directly into his right eye. Uhhhnngg, uuuuhhh, aaaaah" screamed Auroun has each punch felt stronger than the last. Lena finally finished her assault by landing a fierce right hook kick. Lena's bandaged foot hit Auroun clean across the cheek. Sweat flew off of Auroun's brown lose bangs and a light spray of saliva mixed with some blood sprayed from his lips.

The audience roared and cheered after Auroun endured the hard kick. Auroun stumbled to the side trying to get his footing eventually running into the ropes. Auroun got back into his stance but his vision was blurry but slowly clearing. He started tasting blood in his mouth and he felt something warm slowly traveling down his face. The wound under Auroun's right eye got bigger and started bleeding after all the hits he endured. "Damn her. I didn't think she'd recover and comeback hard like that. Oh gawd my head's starting to hurt." Auroun thought to himself trying to recover. A smirk grew on Lena's face seeing the damage she did. "That's right stay up. I still got plenty more for you." Lena thought hopping lightly on her toes and pounding her green gloves together loving the sound of the crowd cheering for her.

Back when round 1 just started for Auroun and Lena's fight. Lilim was in the shower annoyed with herself that she lost her fight. Lilim had lost matches in the past but she still didn't like losing. Especially to a rookie fighter. But her opponent Green Emerald Jean didn't fight like one. She was not only strong but a smart fighter. But Lilim was going to take her frustration and use it to make her train harder. She wanted to get stronger and she knew she would.

The warm water felt good when it touched her fair-skin. After she washed herself off she turned the water off and dried herself off. After Lilim put on her undergarments she changed into a plain white shirt and blue long jean shorts. As she began putting her socks and shoes on she heard someone walk in.

"Hey youuuuuu!"

Lilim looked after she got her shoes on and saw Jean wearing a sweat suit. "Hey. Did the doctor say everything was fine," Lilim asked.

"Yeah every things fine. Though I don't really look like it huh?" Being embarssed Jean smiled  pointing to her face. The tanned pigtailed kick-boxer had one of her eyes completely patched up. And a few more band-aids spread crossed her face. "And look! Your hardly showing any damage off what so ever."

The blonde beauty hardly showed any damage. Except for a some slight redness showing on her face. Lilim gave out a light chuckle. "Well at least you won."

"Maybe so. But if I went up against anyone else that's any where near as strong as you. I'm fucked." Jean laughed.

Lilim gave off a warm smile. "Well I wouldn't mind a rematch in the future."

Jean chuckled nervously. "Your on. But I promise I'll do alot more damage next time." Jean gave off a determined glance.

Lilim smirked and closed her eyes. "Maybe but I'll be ready next time," Lilim said softly slowly opening her cold blue eyes.

Her gaze gave Jean the goosebumbs knowing she was dead serious. But Jean still smiled. "Thank you for the hard battle Lilim." Jean extended her hand. "Your a hell of a fighter."

Lilim got up and extended her hand. "Your not so bad yourself."

Instead of shaking her hand Jean gave Lilim a hug instead. Lilim wasn't expecting it but she couldn't help but smile as she embraced her back. They broke there friendly hug after they heard the crowd cheer.

"I wonder if that means Lena is winning," said Jean looking at the door.

"Lena?" Lilim thought for a moment. "Oh you mean that spiky haired girl." Lilim remembered her when she kissed Auroun in the cabin.

"Yeah it's her first official Endless kick-boxing match. She isn't bad but she isn't as good as you or me. I wonder who she's fighting?"

Lilim then remembered. "Auroun," she said out loud.

"Auroun," asked Jean.

Lilim ran past Jean and ran through the halls. She completely forgot about Auroun's match was after hers. She was praying that the cheers were for Auroun. After Lilim quickly pushed the door open. She saw Auroun struggling to stay up close to the ropes with his own blood streaming down his face. On the other side Lena looked a little beat up to but not as bad. But to Lilim it didn't look like Auroun was winning.

"Oh no Auroun." Lilim then began making her way through the crowd. Jean then came out of the doors. She looked and instantly saw the situation of the fight. "I didn't know that guy in her corner was fighting to? Though from the looks of it Lena seems to be winning so far."

Auroun tried to make his way to the center of the ring. But Lena blocked him off and shot a right cross. Auroun was able to see it and he managed to get out of the way. But Lena followed with two quick left jabs each hitting their target and realizing more dots of sweat to fall off from Auroun's brown hair and forehead. Lena then landed another clean hook with her green fingerless glove across his a jaw making Auroun spray more spit and blood from his lips and then followed with a left hook making his head turn the other way.  Auroun became Lena's punching bag as she landed more clean jabs and hooks to Auroun's head and body. After enduring another painful left hook Auroun's face turned back to face Lena but his vision was all distorted. He was starting to get too punch drunk to even raise his gloves to guard his head. Lena smiled showing off her mouthguard. She knew Auroun was too dazed to try and attack back. Lena then backed off and decided to show off to the crowd by hoping lightly on both of her toes making her large breast bounce up and down slightly. "Come on stud that all you got," Lena asked playfully. Auroun heard her words and he blindly threw a left uppercut. But it missed Lena completely. "I guess not," she said. The spiky haired kick-boxer clenched her green fists and pounded them together. She then landed a solid uppercut right underneath Auroun's jaw making his mouthguard slip out along with a mix of his spit and blood that  filled the air.  Auroun's stumbled around on weak knees until he finally lost balance and hit his back on one of the neutral corners. He slowly slid down until his butt touched the ground making Lena score her first knockdown of her kick-boxing career. Lena raised her gloves in the air in triumph as the audience roared after Auroun finally landed on the ground. Lena was enjoying her moment which gave the ref a hard time to get her to her corner. But it gave Auroun a few extra seconds to try and pull himself together. "What happened...........I was fighting and now I am on the ground................Wait that's bad........I have to get up. Uuuuuuuh god my head won't stop throbbing." Auroun was starting to comeback to his senses but his vision was still messy.

The ref finally got over to the downed fighter and started the count. "One," the ref yelled. "Oh shit that's the count I got to get up," thought Auroun. "Two!" Auroun started to move but his vision was still off. "Three!" Auroun got one of his hands on the ropes and used it to help him slowly move to his knees. "Four," counted the ref. Auroun growled trying to fight the daze off. "Stupid vision come back together will you!!!" Auroun then smacked his head a couple times which hurt his head but it actually made his vision better. "Five," yelled the Ref. "Dammit." Auroun started to rise but one of his legs gave out and he fell on one knee. "Shit I'm more screwed up than I thought come on dammit move!! MOVE!!!" He then heard the ref yell out "Six!" Auroun then heard Lilim's voice his eyes shot over to her seeing that she was yelling at him to get up. In that moment all the pain Auroun felt was gone. To his eyes Lilim was the most angelic person that every walked the earth and now she was finally here routing for him. "Seven!" A slight smile appeared on his face. Lilim you actually came. I'm so glad to see your alright."  "Eight!" "There's no way I'm going to lose infront of you." Auroun's eyes then quickly turned to Lena who was still smiling as she leaned back against the corner and resting her arms on top of the ropes. "And certainly not to her," Auroun managed to say in a dark tone as he then quickly struggled to get up. "Nine!" Auroun struggled but he got up to his feet barley missing the ten count. Auroun got back in his basic stance to show the ref he was ready. "You sure you want to continue son," asked the Ref. Auroun's sinister eyes turned towards the ref. "Yeah I'm good," Auroun responded. The ref got his mouthguard and rinsed it off before he gave it back to him. "Alright you two fight!"

Auroun was still a little groggy but he somehow managed. Lena was still smirking still feeling in totally control of their fight. Surprised you got up. But I can always put you back down." Lena shot two right jabs but Auroun reacted and held his guard up protecting himself."Go Auroun you can do it," cheered Lilim. Hearing Lilim cheer for Auroun for the very first time was enough to give Auroun his strength back. Auroun took charge and swung a hard but fast side kick hitting the side of Lena's ribs again. Lena couldn't react in time and she "Uuuuuhh!!" The kick stung more this time since it was in the same place she got kicked last round. Lena lowered her guard slightly and that was enough for Auroun to pop her with three jabs. The first jab nailed her in the side of the mouth and the other two that followed smashed right into her nose. Making her head jolt  back releasing more beads of sweat from her brow after each connecting hit. Before Auroun could land anymore clean punches Lena got him in a hug. Auroun then fought with her to get free. But Auroun then smiled. "Thought........ you would of........ learned," Auroun said in between breaths. Lena wasn't sure what he meant until she felt another full powered kneecap to her exposed abdomen. "Aaaaaaahhh,"she screamed getting the wind knocked out of her. Lena's eyes lit up wide as she felt the pain travel through her body. Before anymore action could take place the bell chimed stopping the fighters. Both of them broke away and they walked passed each other to their corners. Auroun walked slowly back still trying to wipe away the fog. Auroun wanted to keep fighting but he did need the minute break to rest. Blood kept flowing down from his wound under his right eye that was half closed.And some more blood traveled down from his mouth.

"Aaaah that wasn't fun," said Auroun as he was sitting down on his stool. But he felt his heart stop when he saw Lilim slowly kneeling infront of him.

She looked at him with her serious blue gaze. "She did a number on you," she said as she was gently wiping the blood off of his face.

Auroun gave out an embarrassed giggle. "Yeah she did."

"I guess it can't be helped since you kissed her yesterday." Lilim said in a cold tone.

Auroun's green eyes lit up wide in shock. "You saw that!?"

Captain leaned in with a puzzled look. "You did what and where was I?"

"Shut up coach," Lilim and Auroun yelled at the same time.

Auroun looked into Lilim's eyes with a sad look. "Lilim it didn't memmmmhhhhh." Lilim's hand covered his mouth before he could finish.

"Relax. I know it wasn't your fault." She said with a warm smile. "Now can you knock this bitch out or do you need help."

Auroun then gave out a smirk. "Actually." Auroun took a deep breath and exhaled. "I think I have pretty good idea."

Lena sat in her corner with a some bruising starting to show on her face. Blood started to appear from her nose and her abdomen and ribs were swore and bruised. She was furious  at both herself and Auroun.

"I can't believe he still has power to fight. I thought that beating I gave him did him in. I guess I can't afford to play around with this guy. Despite his looks he can be dangerous. I have to end this now."

"Lena you have to watch those mid punches. He keeps getting you there when your guard is off. Stay on defense and counter him. And stop fooling around with your opponent you hear me," lectured her coach Jacob.

"I will coach."

After getting his mouthguard Auroun looked at Lena with determination in his eyes. "I'm ready," he thought. He was more than itching to go at it this time. "It's kind of scary how I am kind of enjoying this. I should get my head examined." Auroun got in his fighting stance.

After the bell chimed for round 3 both fighters eyes met wanting to put the other one down. Auroun started firing a right and left jab, but Lena blocked them. Lena then responded with a low kick but Auroun raised his leg and canceled hers out. Auroun faked jabbed at Lena's face. But instead he launched a side kick hoping to hit her in the ribs. But Lena didn't fall for it and she knocked it back with her own leg. Lena then countered with a right hook blasting Auroun across the face turning his head over his shoulder. Auroun fought off the pain and came back. Landing his bright red gloves right under her chin. "Ulllllmphh," grunted Lena as her head shot up releasing spit from her lips. Lena took a two steps back as her mind was in a bit of a daze. Auroun followed up with a lighting fast right and left jab both ramming into Lena nose making her nose surge with pain. The spiky haired fighter groaned from the pain. She rose her guard to protect her face and threw a surprise attack slamming Auroun on the side of the face with her bandaged foot. "Aaaah," screamed Auroun as his head turned releasing more globs of his own saliva and blood from his lips. His vision was getting unstable again but he had to hold on. "Come on I can do this." Auroun squeezed his fist and he readied himself to trade blows with Lena.

The spiky haired fighter knew she shook Auroun's world after that kick. Now was her chance. Lena fired with a right and left cross both slamming into Auroun's defense. Auroun guarded them off but his arms stung from how powerful they were. Auroun then saw Lena beginning to swing a crushing right hook. Using what speed he had left Auroun ducked under the hook and countered with a mid uppercut to Lena's ribs making her grunt again in pain. Lena instantly dropped her guard. And the bitdown on her mouthguard hard trying to fight the pain off. Lena fought back with a left uppercut but Auroun got out of the way. Lena kept on him and swung a fast hook kick that would of took Auroun head off if he had not dodged it with his quick reaction. Lena didn't give up as she kept attacking with a lightning left cross that Auroun barley ducked under. Lena with her lips parted showing her mouthpiece. Was on a mission to put Auroun down for good. With her anger and frustration taking over. Auroun dodged and blocked every one of her punches and kicks.

Auroun was starting to get tired but he noticed Lena was also. Her jabs and hooks were getting slower and easier to avoid. Auroun's red shiny gloves intercepted Lena's cross punch and two other jabs that came shortly after. The spiky haired women then swung her foot at Auroun's head as hard as she could but her attack was slow. The new Zero fighter Auroun gracefully ducked underneath and finally attacked back by jumping into the air and letting Lena have it with a hard punch to the noise. Doing the same surprise attack that Jean did to Lilim in the last match.

Jean's jaw dropped when he saw him pull if off successfully. "Hey that's mine."

Lena backed up against the cold ropes. She stood with her gloves cover her head so to not get hit in the nose again. Of coarse that left Auroun with another opening to deal another kick. Auroun's bandaged foot hit directly into the same spot where Lena's ribs were sore and beaten. Lena's eyes lit up wide, "Aaaaaaaah," she screamed as the pain was unlike anything she had felt before. She had one hand covering her ribs and the other hand holding on to the ropes to keep her from falling. Normally the ref would of stopped the fight. But this was the Endless League a private kickboxing fighting league with it's own rules. Auroun could of continued pounding her but it was obvious to anyone she couldn't fight anymore. She could barley stand panting heavily with her eyes shut trying to deal with the pain surging in her body. Blood dripped off her nose and dropped on the canvas. Lena then managed to wave her hand signaling to the ref that she surrenders. The ref waved his hands stopping the fight. He pointed to Auroun declaring him the winner of the match. Auroun's eyes crew in astonishment not believing that he did it. The crowd cheered, and clapped. It had been a long time till a male fighter as fought and won in the Endless League.


Before Auroun knew it Captain gave him a huge hug. "Alright Zero ya did it! Haaaa haaaa!!!" Auroun was happy but he wanted his coach to let him go because he couldn't breath. "You had me worried there but that move you did was a nice touch." Captain let him go and ruffled his hair up.

Auroun smiled and chuckled. "Thank you coach," he managed to say.

Lena was instantly taken away to the hospital with two fractured ribs. The doctor checked out Auroun and patched his wounds up. Besides a couple of cuts and a headache he was fine. Auroun then took a quick well needed shower. After he was done he got dressed in a black shirt and shorts. After he put his shoes on and walked out of the mens locker room. He didn't see Lilim leaning back against the wall with her arms folded.

"Not bad for a rookie," she said.

Auroun turned and laughed nervously. "Well I do the best I can," he smiled.

Lilim closed her eyes and shook her head lightly. "Well I suppose I should congratulate you on your first win."

"Well I have you and Captain to thank for that. I never would of did it without you guys."

Lilim looked at him with a confused expression. "I understand the coach but why thank me? I didn't do anything."

"That's not true. Your the one that pushed me to keep going. Because someday I want to be just as strong as you are one day." Auroun's face started to blush. "Your my inspiration to keep fighting."

Lilim's heart skipped a beat after hearing that. "You say alot of weird things sometimes," she said scratching the back of her head.

"I know I do." Auroun then extended his hand. "But thank you," he said smiling.

Lilim looked at his hand and then gently brushed it away and wrapped her arms around him embracing him. Auroun was surprised but he hugged her back loving every moment of it. She finally broke it and gently hit his shoulder with her fists. "Come on lets go home."

" Home. Yeah that sounds nice. I'am beat..........Literally." He said jokingly while walking with her.

Lilim shook her head. "That was a terrible joke," she said coldly.

Auroun smiled. "Maybe but I saw you smile a little after I said it."

Lilim sighed knowing it was hopeless. "Shut up."

Captain was finished packing the vehicle when he turned and saw his old friend Jacob walking towards him. "Hey what are you doing," asked Captain.

Jacob smiled. "Saying bye to you ya big idiot."

Captain laughed. "Well gee thank you." He gave his friend a quick brotherly hug. "Well looks like we tied this time."

"Yeah it seems so. Your boy Auroun has potential. Lena was one of my finest students. It was close but that kid has some fighting spirit."

"Yeah Auroun has a ways but in time I think I can get him to the championship."

"I hope so Jett. But what about your other student."

"Lilim defiantly has it in her. She's still trying to build herself back into the fighter she use to be."

Jacob thought for a moment until he remembered. "Oh that's right. She had that incident."

"Yeah but she's made a full recovery and is working hard everyday to get back to her level. I'm pretty sure having Auroun around will help her as well."

"That's good to hear. I'am sure i'll be hearing great things from both of them." Jacob's face then turned serious. "However make sure you keep an eye on Auroun. The others might not be happy seeing a male fighter rising."

Jett closed his eyes and nodded. "I know all about that. I'll be careful."
