The boys stood beside Seb, instead of surrounding her.
As soon as Iason's men charged at them, Jose pushed away Noah at a corner at the first chance offered to keep him away from getting hurt at any cost.
In a blink of a second, a huge clash took place in the middle of a solitude street!!!
All of the rivals launched themselves at only Seb, the main target!
Yuka and the others immediately sprang into reflex to keep them at bay from her.
Yuka and Mak took the lead. One of them kicked one in the gut and punched in the face hard. Whereas Mak grabbed one by the throat and pinned him on the concrete. Jose, Hamish and Kenny were backing them up from the attacks coming from behind. But still, they were too many to handle for just 6 people.
Seb was taking on majority challenges. She was facing them constantly one after one. It was harder for her, since she has never indulged in fights more than 2 or three, that too during her practice matches. But she went on carefully. Any wrong move from her size will have heinous consequence, and can cost more. This was a real fight!
Her moves were skilled, but her strength were not matching up to them. She had to be careful not to run in their grip, else she'll be done for!
Noah was watching the terrific situation for a while.
He had a strong urge to step in, but he held on because Seb had his promise.
He knew that Seb and the others won't be able to hold them for long, they'll be outnumbered soon. Heeld had many men on him. None of the sides were ready to give up yet!
Few of them were injured already and knocked out, but there was no change in the situation.
Suddenly, 2 of them approached with weapons....iron rods!!!
One charged at Mak....and the other, made his way towards Seb!
Mak had noticed his threat and prepared himself for it. But Seb was already busy taking down 2 of them at once, she didn't have any time to look out around. Mak had caught the iron rod swung at him and noticed that Seb was in keen danger. She won't be able to see the incoming blow. And others were cannot make it in time.
He shouted at full force, yelling his lungs out," Watch out Seb!!!....behind you!!!!".
Seb had heard him successfully, but he was late by few seconds.
Before she could get rid of her current victims and save herself from the attack...the rod was swung at her....
As soon as she turned around, all she could spot was the rod right in front of her eyes!
It would have been too late.....only if Seb had not decided to fall back to save herself.
She fell hard on her back dis-balanced...but immediately got up and leaped backwards to maintain the distance with the rod beholder.
Mak had finally tripped over his attacker and looked around for Seb...to his fear, she was safe...but she stood covering her injured eye, with flame spitting from her other eye!
She was panting terribly, and was clearly trying to hide her painful expression.
Her eye-patch, which she was wearing this whole time had torn and come off.
Yuka had seen it too.
"Seb!!!", he screamed as he ran towards her, but held back again...so was Mak.
The guy with the rod didn't give Seb even a second and launched at her again.
Seb wasn't in her best form by the time, she couldn't even remove her palm from her eye. It must have got injured pretty bad. But if she doesn't dodge this incoming, it can turn out bad.
Before she could even anticipate, she found herself taking the blow on her arm. The pain was stinging, but she had no defenses left. She lost her mind, and swiftly swung her limb at the guy with rage. A clear 'crack' sound emerged as she knew that his ribs were fractured already.
Still clasping her eye, Seb stumbled backwards herself as she couldn't control her balance from the pain on her arm.
All of a sudden out of nowhere....Sirens approaching was heard. Police sirens!!!
Every one froze on their step. Heeld's gang had heard it too. Heeld himself was standing at a distance, not participating in the fight. Hearing the sound, a fear pallor spread over his face.
"Retreat, now!!!", he yelled.
His men were backing off even before he could say it. The ones out cold, were being taken over shoulders. In a moment, all of them cleared out. Noah exposed himself from where he was hiding.
"Well done Noah", Seb said to him as he joined them. He was the one who called on the cops. Seb took the phone from Noah, taking out the sim card, she broke it off.
"What do we do now?",Kenny asked worried since they can get caught.
Yuka's prior concentration was somewhere else.
"Seb, your hurt...", he started to speak but she cut him off by covering her eyes with her front locks,"You guys hide in the lanes...fast!!! Yuka, put on your spectacles and stay here with Noah. You understand what I mean? You can take care of it, right?".
Yuka took the hint and nodded,"Understood, you better hide too".
Seb sprint off inside one of the lanes.
She totally pulled it off with that idea. Yuka got her present wits too. Out of all of them, he looked the best groomed and totally a gentleman with his spectacles on. He asked Noah to stay because he looked younger than his age and will put an influence of decency. The rest, Yuka can pull it off by his smart mouth in front of the cops.
She was totally right!!!
As the cops arrived, it didn't even take 10 minutes for Yuka to handle the situation perfectly. They left within no time looking totally agreeable.
Seb and the others joined Yuka after few minutes they left.
Noah handed over the torn eye-patch which he had picked up earlier to Seb.
"Thank you Noah", saying Seb put it on again.
Though it was dark, Yuka exactly saw what others couldn't.
The patch had already turned wet. Blood stream flowed from beside Seb's cheek...from her eye!
Yuka looked at her palm while putting the patch, it was dark enough...dried blood stain!!!
"Seb...", he gasped as he tried to get hold of his voice,"your eye....it is....". The patch had stained by the time too,"You need urgent medical attention Seb!".
"Don't bother", Seb looked away,"It is really nothing", she dismissed it.
Yuka grabbed her arm and pulled roughly facing her,"Don't be so ridiculous right now!", he scolded. His voice startled Seb,"It is bleeding profusely!".
That dragged everyone's attention. Noah covered his mouth shocked looking at her.
"It is safe", Seb assured them,"It is cut above the eye..."
Yuka tone was commanding again as he started dragging Seb without any intention to let go,"Come with me...right now!!!".
"Yuka, it's not necessary....", Seb started to speak timidly, but suddenly Yuka turned swiftly at her. His eyes were so cold and different from before. He wasn't taking no for an answer, Seb was taken aback by that look in his eyes. He is worried as well as furious. Seb couldn't resist any more as she gave in.
They all knew that even they let Seb fight beside them, putting herself in threat for their sake...Iven will be erupting any moment. After what they did the whole day, they weren't even scared anymore because of him. They were at fault and were ready to accept any punishment at that point.
