I stood in front of what looked like a pawn shop that was nearly empty my first thought was to get in there but I wanted to keep the damage to a minimum because I was pretty sure that these guys wanted a fight. I looked around and saw an empty alley which would probably be the best setting since the space would be small and wouldn't allow me to be surrounded. If I were to fight in my current position no matter how skilful I was it'd be useless because if I turned my back to attack someone then someone else would strike at my exposed back.

Stepping out of the crowd was Brandon MacDonald who had a smug look on his face standing beside him were Frank, Scott, Damian and Randy. They all seemed confident in taking me on and to be honest they certainly would.

"Hello Tyler I figured we'd give you a proper welcome," Brandon remarked and gestured at those behind him. This time I took a closer look and my estimated numbers were off the mark because there were twenty guys including the three bikers behind me.

"Isn't this a bit too much for little'o me?" I replied with a smile. For some reason I was getting excited.

"Haven't you heard it's impolite to welcome guest with a small party," Brandon said his voice not hiding the disgust that I was actually talking back to him without my voice shaking like he initially thought.

"That...is stupid and there is no saying like that at all man," I shook my head in mock disappointment. A satisfied smile came to my lips when I saw his angry scowl.

"Kill this son of a....," before he could finish his small army was rushing towards me others were attempting to even surround me.

'Like I would let that happen,' I thought as I dashed forward toward the group that was attempting to surround me. One attempted to punch at my face but I stepped back ever so slightly evading the blow before countering with one of my own. It landed square on his jaw. Before I could hit him again I felt a kick to my side that reminded me that it wasn't a one on one fight and that I had to get to that alley now. Still I couldn't just leave the one who hit me be. Extending my right leg to the side, I released a ferocious kick, it hit someone in his stomach and he stumbled and fell backwards.

Several yells were heard behind me but I decided to ignore them as I dashed for the alley. The herd of people followed a good fifteen feet behind me and with there large numbers it made it slightly awkward to fit through the narrow entrance of the alley so they had to come through two at a time. My theory had worked.

Turning around I saw the first two coming at me, it was clear these suckers had no clue why I had decided to change venues but even if they did know, it wouldn't make much of a difference. The one who took the lead from the two had swung his fist from the right in a wide arc which I simply deflected to the left. The fist didn't stop there though because it went straight for his colleague's cheek making him lose his momentum.

I took the chance to threw a punch in his face before grabbing the back of his neck. Pulling him down his face met my knee and he slumped backwards. I kicked his partner in the thigh and he screamed in pain before I gave him and uppercut. The two fell on the ground and didn't stand up again having lost consciousness.

Just then a kick hauled towards my face and I had to block with my forearms before grabbing onto it and pulling the guy towards me, I then sent a my fist into his gut and he choked out saliva from his mouth but that wasn't the end of it though. Still holding his leg I spun him towards the side where his partner was coming from and their bodies collided and slammed both of them into the wall. I hit his partner in the back of his head and his eyes turned white as he blacked out.

I lost track of what was behind me until I felt an arm wrap around my throat from behind and I was pulled to stand upright.

'Damn when did he?' I thought but another one came and punched in the gut. It wasn't a simple punch either and it hurt like hell.

The guy who punched me had a satisfied grin on his face and as he prepared to hit me again I pushed both of my feet into his gut causing him to stumble while giving me the momentum that was enough to lift the guy who held me over my shoulder as my feet landed on the ground as I twisted my hips and torso. The two collided and both fell on the ground. Three more guys came up.

"Damnit it's like an endless wave!" I cursed and noticed that it was now getting dark, I needed to be home by six and with the way things were dragging out I'd say that I'd be late, extremely late. This whole situation was making me frustrated because I didn't ask for any of this.
