Chapter 9 - Mission 9- Muhammad's Pride

I looked down and saw a large hole in my stomach. "Well fuck". Just then everything went dark. When I woke up I was lying on a bed in a small little hut. It was very hot and the window was covered. My suit was unzipped and bandages were wrapped around my torso. I got up and winced. I undid the bandages. The hole was healed but there was still a large cut that needed to be healed. I put the bandages back on and left the hut. Freyaj, Wanda, and Clover were all sitting outside. "Do you think she'll be okay Freyaj", Clover asked.

"Blitz is strong, she'll be fine". "I don't know why... watching her get hurt like that scared me half to death. I never want to see it again". "Do you think it's because you still like h-". "I think we should check on her now", Wanda interrupted. I stepped through the doorway. "Hey guys". "Blitz", Clover shouted. Her got up and hugged me. I didn't know what to do. I cleared my throat and pushed him off of me. "I'm so glad you're okay". I smiled, "Thanks". I looked behind him and saw Wanda. I glared before looking back at Clover.

"Where are we"? "A small hut in the village. We still need to find Muhammad", Freyaj told me. "I remember where he lives. Let's go". I zipped up my suit and started to lead them to Muhammad. When we got there, it looked different. There were lots of plants on the outside. Plants that held poisons and toxins. I took a deep breath. "You got this Blitz", Wanda said. I knocked on the door and took a step back. No one answered. As I got ready to know again, the door opened. His brown skin glowed under the sun. One reason I loved him. "Blitz"? "Hi Muhammad". He looked at everyone behind me.

"What's happening"? "We're here for something". Clover stepped up. "Clover"? "Hello Muhammad. I- we need something that can destroy Mercury". "That's what you're here for"? "Yes". "Will Blitz be needing it too"? I didn't know why that mattered. "Yeah, why", Freyaj asked. "I'm not giving her anything else from me, she's taken enough. I'm not going to hurt my pride". "What"? "You left me here all alone. Barely even said goodbye". "And I'm sorry for that. But without what we need, innocent people will die". "I'm sorry, I cannot". "What about a fight", Wanda said. "What do you mean"? "You guys can fight it out. Whoever wins gets to keep the poison".

I looked at Muhammad, waiting for his opinion. "Okay, I agree". Now because I'm superhuman, this wouldn't be a problem. But the reason this is an issue is because I taught Muhammad how to fight. He knows everything I do. He also has the chemical Titanium. He did it himself! His IQ is very high and I've never fought him besides practice. If I'm being completely honest... I was a bit scared. We walked away from his home, and ventured fairly deep into the desert. We stopped and let the others guard and supervise. "Ready", Freyaj asked. We both nodded our heads. I stepped back and took a fighting stance. Muhammad had the same one as me.

"Fight"! I did a turning kick, aiming for his face. He blocked it with his arm and punched me in the stomach. I flew back and landed on the ground. "This is exactly what I feared", I thought. I got up and punched him straight in the nose. Sand swirled around him and he put his hands over his eyes. "My eyes"! I kicked him in the stomach, causing him to throw up. He slid back a bit, holding his stomach. "Finished yet"? He stood up straight and wiped his mouth. "I will never let you beat me". I let out a sigh before trying to punch him in the face.

He grabbed my fist and redirected it. When my body turned about he punched me in the back. I started coughing and fell to the ground. "How does the sand taste"? I quickly stood up and grabbed the back of his neck. "Why don't you tell me"? I shoved his face into the ground and laughed.
