Things to do in Philly when your left for Dead...

It’s not easy living in darkness… You can lose hold on what’s reality and what’s not as well as yaself if you not careful. It’s happening to me, I’ve turned my back on what’s real and most important in my life only to prey on those who prey on the weak, I only hope that god understands why. Darkness covers me and this city; it has become as one wit me as the mask that shields my face… I’ve spent many nights out alone draped in nothin but it from head to toe, but nothing comes close to being broken and left for dead in complete darkness as rats and the rodents of the night scratch, crawl and bite on any part of your lifeless body they please. Trash and filth filled the well I had been toss down, and my body was hurting bad from the tumble down. I could barely stand; my legs were badly damaged from the impact of the fall. And a torn “A C L” in my right knee made it impossible to stand, the smell coming from the stagnant water that soak the ground I laid cripple on made me scream out for help that much louder then the last several cry outs, I couldn’t see a thing. The seal to the well had been closed by “Kane,” a powerful foe I had a bad past with that’s come back more powerful then I could remember. The whole week leading to this I had a feeling in my gut a storm was coming, never imagined that it would be in the form of a past rival. I tried climbing up the black, damp and wet brick walls with every bit of upper body strength I could gather, but got nowhere. The fight with “Kane almost broke everything but my sprits, I stood toe to toe as long as I could against the most deadly opponent I’ve face yet. And for the first time, I lost a fight out here as the so called protector of the city… Time stop wile I was down there but my mind didn’t. All I could think about was the fight and how I let my city down as time stood still and day’s passed on the surface. I remembered not even having time to do my first run through the city before this force from my past was approaching me. I never let anyone sneak up on me, but being trained by the same teacher gave “Kane an advantage over anyone else. It wasn’t till he yelled out my name that I even noticed he was on the same roof top as me. That’s a skill no one in this city had, and I thought only our teacher had such ability, but I see “Kane has exceeded his training and might be on the same level as our teacher. It only took a few seconds for me to put together what was going on, and recognizing the voice help to make it easy. I won the first round a couple years back, but I knew this go round was going to be war… What have I started? Another threat to the city that’s come for me, with a mask on that shows nothing but the eye’s, dressed in all black much like myself with a piece of armor that covered his left arm. The armored brace looked like it was made of rock just as his body did. And with no reason or warning, like a bull only seeing red he charged across the roof top right for me. Once again I accepted the challenge charging right back at him like a fool; we collide dead center of roof. I take lead in the dance, and everything I had to throw at him hit’s air, I could hear him laughing under his mask as he dips and dodge everything. He was toying with me, playing and enjoying having the upper hand in the fight. His speed was unorthodox, and his power was felt greatly when he finally attacks grabbing the face of my mask, such force nearly shattered the face that’s taken me so long to create in the streets. I could feel my skull squeezing and hear my mask cracking as I tried desperately to brake free, then like a kid tired of playing with his toy; I was hurled away into a wall. My back almost snaps like Twiggs before falling to the ground. Was only able to get to one knee before catching a stiff upper cut to the left rib cage, felt like a direct hit by a sledge hammer, the blow cause me to drop to both knees. Just then he held me up by my shoulders as I hung off my feet trying to catch what was left of any breath in my body before being released into a setup for a round house kick to the face. But a quick burst of adrenaline allows me to block and counter with what was to be a five piece setup of my own, the combo was shut down by the fifth punch could be landed. Unlike the first encounter with “Kane, this time I was way out my league, fighting to hold my ground and stay alive. Like two caged animals fighting for survival scratching and biting one another, we went to war; the impact from his kicks and punches hitting my forearm was devastating. Blocking his attacks took a toll on the body as well. I was barely able to hold my guard; I get focus for a second and pass six of my “Razor Disk to him as fast and hard as I could. But all six were swiftly deflected without a drop of sweat, that fuckin piece of armor covering his arm caught all that. No retreat, no surrender is the code and the creed we live by in the clan me and “Kane are cut from, and on this night one man would stand wile the other falls. He showed me everything I had to offer to him had little effect on him, and if this night was to be the end for me, then dieing hard was how I was going to go out. The bull stood waiting for me to make another move, then I began to walk toward him from the other end of the battlefield, “ You had to know this was coming” was what he shouted as I walk, preparing for another round with “Diablo. I paid no mind to the commit; I was only staying focus on how to come out this battle on top wit my life. I was approaching the center of the rooftop just as “Kane began stomping toward me… We meet once again center stage, standing toe to toe face to face before testing each others might by exchanging blows at one another. I strike first; then again, before I hear more laughter as “Kane eats the two shots to the face. I tired to sneak a third shot in but my fist was caught in mid air then my body was being thrown in it. I fire my grappler off aiming it at “Kane, but he dips it causing me to miss by a hair. My grappler is connected to my wrist, so when “Kane managed to get hold of the steel line that’s extracting from it, he use’s it to slam my body into the ground, it’s a crucial blow, The one that took everything from of me and left me unconscious. It must have been the air hitting my face that helps me regain conscious before I could notice that I was falling. I had nothing to soften the landing, my weapons must had been strip from me wile I was out and I couldn’t see a thing. A man I once looked up to asked me, “What do you see when you look into darkness?” At a time I couldn't answer that, but now I know, the image staring back at me in the darkness is "Kane wile he's standing over my dead body.
