Chapter 16
Over the next two weeks, Mannie and Don’s training intensified. John has raised the level on the simulator, intensifying their holographic fights. Don fought off a whole cave of bat aliens without throwing a sweat. Mannie took on a bigger Kanite and won.
***
The two fighters have also continued their training on the weight machines. Mannie is on the lat pulldown machine while Don is on the bicep curls. Each has a picture of the girls who gave them, motivating them to train as hard as they can. Mannie kisses his picture of Raven blowing a kiss. Don just smiles and nods as he continues. He sees something familiar about the spot in Central Park where the picture of Jody was taken in.
“I know that spot,” he says to himself, “I’ll take Jody there after the next fight.”
Mannie is just finishing up when he sees Raven at the front desk. She winks at him the same way he winked at her during his last fight, making Mannie blush and realize that Raven is warming up to him because he treated her the way a girl should be treated.
Raven, however, is very distraught. Psikes has given Kaynon a new batch of Waspite, but she can’t warn Mannie. She is reluctantly loyal to Psikes since he is the one who picked her off on the streets. Buzz is stocking shelves when he see Mannie and Raven together.
“Psikes is not gonna like this,” Buzz says to himself, “Hopefully, for Raven’s sake, Kaynon won’t kill Mannie during their next match.”
***
During the last two days before the match, Don and Mannie have been sparring with each other with Jody, John, Buzz, and Raven watching them as the sun goes down. After their sparring match is over, the six went back to their van. Don sits between Jody and Buzz while Mannie sits with Jody. Each fighter wrap an arm around one of the girls as they drive back. Jody smiles a little, but then looks away from Don and looks out the window. Don could tell she’s scared of what Kaynon would do to him if they ever have a relationship. Instead, Don holds Jody’s hand while Mannie and Raven cuddle together.
***
Meanwhile, in Psikes’s private gym at the casino, Kaynon is doing his own training. He is hitting the punching bag hard, pretending it is Don. He hits and kicks it repeatedly when Psikes comes in.
“Are you ready for the semi-finals?” Psikes frustratingly asks.
“Yes, Psikes,” he says while wiping himself with the towel, “You sound tense today.”
“Because Buzz reported that the bug has been flirting with Raven. You need to take that new batch of Waspite tomorrow. I want that girl-stealing pest eliminated!”
“With pleasure, Boss. Just one thing though. I keep getting a fluttery feeling in my chest every time I take the Waspite. Should I worry?”
“That’s normal, Kaynon. Your heart muscle is just building up. Just make certain you defeat Mannie and his cobra friend if you want Jody to be yours.”
Kaynon smiles maliciously at the thought of finally making Jody his girl.
