Despite Cage's words, the man seemed hardly phased at all as I saw him take another step forward, standing only a few feet away.
"Move nigga!" Yelled the man angrily as he looked up at Cage while pointing his pistol where Tut was standing.
"No." Replied Cage, his words causing the man to shift his target from Tut to him.
"If you don't want to move, then so be it!" Yelled the man as he placed his finger on the trigger, causing Cage's gaze to harden.
Seeing things escalating too far, I cleared my throat a little before cupping my mouth as I mimicked the sound of police sirens, which was only possible given the incredible control I had over my body; it was also the first time I'd never tried to mimic something that wasn't a voice so, it might've sounded a little off, but either way, it got the job done as the man holding the gun looked back out of reflex.
When that happened, Cage didn't waste that chance and swiftly lunged forward, twisting the gun out of his hands and pointing it at him, causing him to gulp nervously while taking a few steps back with his hands raised to the side.
"Haa, Cage, you good?" Asked Darius in concern as he sighed in relief and glanced at Cage, who nodded in response.
"Yeah, I'm good; what about you, Tut?" Asked Cage worriedly as he looked behind him, only to furrow his brows when he saw Tut taking off his shirt.
"I'm straight, but I damn sure ain't about to let this nigga slide. C'mon, put'em up nigga! You trying to act hard; act hard without your gun, nigga!" Said Tut with a nod as he stepped forward with a boxing stance, eyeing the man while aggressively talking shit.
"Cage put the gun away; we're about to settle this shit like men. Now, c'mon, put your hands up; I'm not going to feel good about dropping your bitch ass unless you get a few good hits in!" Added Tut in slight anger as he stared down the man, who glared back at him, though he didn't move since Cage was still pointing the gun.
"Tut, you sure?" Asked Cage hesitantly as he looked at Tut before glancing at the man.
"Yes, I'm sure; I'm trying to drop this weak-ass nigga!" Replied Tut with a nod, causing Cage to sigh as he unloaded the clip and cocked the pistol, causing the bullet that was already in the chamber to fall out, effectively disarming the pistol.
"He's all yours, Tut." Said Cage as he dropped the pistol and clip on the ground, causing the man to lose most of his inhibitions.
Once the pistol was out of the picture, the man stopped acting cowardly and also got into a fighting stance, though I could tell he'd never had any training besides street fights.
"Tch, I'm going to knock you the fuck out!" Stated the man angrily as he approached Tut aggressively and punched him, though he dodged before punching his stomach.
"C'mon, nigga, that the best you got? No wonder your weak-ass pulled out that pistol; your bitch-ass can't fight!" Remarked Tut with a slight frown, his words angering the man as he started throwing punches left and right without carrying for defense.
"Weave, weave, weave." Said Kris with a smile as he watched Tut dodge every attack before suddenly retaliating with a haymaker to the face, knocking him unconscious.
"Next time, don't pull out a gun, and you won't get dropped, lil-ass nigga." Said Tut with a frown as he looked down at the man before turning around and walking toward his group.
Now, thankfully, the person I had just knocked out wasn't that big; otherwise, it might've been a little suspicious how a kid could beat a grown man; though, to be fair, was I pretty large for a fourteen-year-old, I was only a little smaller than the man lying unconscious on the floor. However, if I had to fight someone like Cage, that would be a whole different scenario; Cage is a large dude, about the size of my Dad, although he is old, so Cage is probably stronger.
'But Dad does have that dad strength, so I don't know; it's up for debate.' Thought Pharaoh with a thoughtful expression as he wore his shirt, which was proving difficult as Kris, Jason, and Darius kept patting him.
"I knew you took boxing classes, but I didn't know you could fight like that; you dropped his ass in two attacks." Said Darius with a grin as he looked at Tut before glancing at the opposing team, which was carrying the unconscious man away.
"Yeah, made quick work of that fool." Added Jason with a smirk while aggressively slapping Tut's shoulder.
"Damn, stop being aggressive, that shit hurts; just because I can box doesn't mean I enjoy pain." Remarked Tut with a frown as he slapped their arms away, causing them to laugh as they all headed toward their backpacks.
"Yo, thanks for the help, Cage; I owe you one." Said Tut with a smile as he dabbed up Cage, who smirked in response.
"It's all good, nigga; now, I would love to stay, but I got a cutie I got to meet in five; hopefully, she staying overnight, if you know what I mean." Replied Cage as he patted Tut's shoulder before walking past him, approaching his duffle bag.
"So you weren't lying about that date? That's a surprise. Anyways, I've got to return home; it's already 6:04; if I'm not back by 6:45, I'm getting grounded." Asked Tut with a raised eyebrow as he eyed Cage, who wiped himself down with a towel before grabbing his basketball and heading to his bike in the corner.
"Ay, see y'all; also, don't forget we've got a team to play next week, so nobody better call in sick!" Yelled Tut as he hopped on his bike and looked at his teammates.
"Don't worry; I made sure to be free next weekend!"
"I got fired, so I've got nothing going on this whole week."
"My Grandparents are visiting, so I won't be able to practice, but I'll be there to play."
"I'm free as well."
"Good, see ya'll then." Said Tut with a nod as he waved back and left the basketball court, riding down the streets of Harlem with his destination being Queens.

'Heh, 6:42, made it just in time.' Mused Pharaoh as he lifted open the garage and stored his bike before closing it and entering his house.
"Yo, I'm back, Mom and Dad!" Yelled Pharaoh as he walked toward the kitchen, only to see Hana cooking dinner.
"I see you're cutting it real close, Pharaoh." Remarked Hana dryly as she turned and looked at Tut, who smirked and overlooked what she was cooking.
"But I was on time, and that's all that matters." Replied Tut while smirking as he watched Hana drain a pot of noodles into the sink.
"Hmm, you're making Udon?" Asked Tut curiously as he opened the fridge and grabbed a soda.
"Beef and egg, Udon; you know how much your father loves when I make it." Said Hana with a nod as she separated the noodles into three bowls before putting the empty pot in the sink.
"Eh, yeah, I know; you make it at least once a week." Remarked Tut with a wry smile as he leaned against the stove while drinking Sprite.
"Tut, the stove is still on." Commented James as he came walking down the stairs.
'Hmm, it is.' Mused Pharaoh as he looked down at the red hot stove before turning it off.
"So, did you guys win? Food smells delicious." Asked James curiously as he entered the kitchen, looking at Tut while kissing Hana on the cheek.
"Of course, Dad; with Cage and I on the same team, it will be hard for us to lose." Replied Pharaoh lightly as he finished drinking the can of Sprite before crushing it, morphing it into a small metal bead.
"Alright, the food's about to be done; head to the table, you two." Commented Hana as she placed shredded beef in the three bowls, prompting James and Pharaoh to swiftly sit down.
Sitting down, we waited a few moments for Mom to exit the kitchen while carrying three bowls of Udon, with Dad having the most food in his bowl while I had the least as I didn't really need to eat after all.
"Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dear." Said Pharaoh and James, respectively, as they grabbed their utensils, which were chopsticks and a fork.
"Mhm, I don't think I've ever tasted a dish I haven't liked." Remarked Pharaoh with a satisfied expression as he and Hana used chopsticks while James used a fork.
"Well, you're welcome, Tut. Also, is anyone else feeling cold?" Asked Hana with a slight smile as she looked at Tut before suddenly shivering.
"Yeah, I'm also feeling rather cold." Replied James with a slight frown as he stood up and checked on the thermostat.
"It's says 72 degrees." Muttered James in confusion as he saw his breath when he exhaled.
"Um, dear, I think I found the source of why we're cold." Said Hana while shivering as she pointed to Tut, who was subconsciously exhaling frost from his mouth, causing ice to form around his chopsticks and freezing his food.
"W-What the hell?" Remarked James in astonishment as he eyed Tut, who had only now noticed the problem.
"Eh, why is my food frozen?" Asked Tut with a frown as he looked at his bowl of frozen Udon.

Pharaoh may only be 14, be he just showed he ain't a bitch ass nigga; dropped his ass in two hits! Now, I wouldn't say he was on that black air-force 1 energy, but he was pretty close.
