Cruelty Unleashed

A lot of students feared Blake for a number of reasons, the number one reason being that he was the son of the city's mayor, meaning that he had more power at his fingertips to influence things not only in the school, but in the entire city. The girls loved him because he had a lot of power to do as he wished, and also because he was one of the strongest students in their grade.

The boys would usually fight each other because of petty squabbles, or if they just wished to test out each other's strength, and in most cases, Blake would come out on top, proving that he was the strongest. The other boys respected and feared him for this. Coupled with the fact that he had political support from his father, he was basically untouchable by the city's police force whenever he would go out and commit petty crimes just for the fun of it.

Blake was a wildcard that didn't care about whom his actions would affect, and now, he was ready to do inflict a world of pain on the two students standing in front of him.

Hakim was the first to act, as he had quickly dashed to the side, but with his fast reflexes, Blake was able to grab him by the arm just as he was about to run away, then he lifted his entire body in the air, before swinging it towards the ground, causing him to yell out in pain.

"You really thought you could get away from me huh?" He asked. Still holding onto the latter's arm, he began to twist it until a snapping sound was heard. Blake had ripped Hakim's arm from its socket, truly fulfilling his desire of putting him through a world of pain, but still, he wasn't done.

Raising his leg up, he stomped down on Hakim's back, over and over again, as blood began to spew from his mouth from the constant coughing and begging for mercy. This… this was unlike the other times when Blake would bully him. He seemed far more ruthless and unrelenting than the previous times.

Hakim wasn't sure how much longer it would be until he couldn't keep on fighting anymore. Although he had a relatively strong body for someone of his age, Blake was on a whole other level with his physical strength alone. Hakim would have to be crazy if he thinks he would have any chance of winning against the other in a fight.

All he could do was out back and let the beating unfold.

"Hey! Leave him alone!" Steve yelled, kicking Blake in the side of his ribs. Though he felt pain from the impact, the strike didn't carry the amount of force that would truly affect him. "What has he ever done to you to deserve this?!"

Suddenly, Blake had stopped, and slowly turned around. With a wide smile on his face, his hand wrapped on Steve's face, he pushed the teenager towards the wall, not holding back his power as the head had crashed into the hard concrete, cracks forming on the surface as blood began to leak from his eyes, nose and mouth.

"Don't you dare poke your nose into my business! Got that!" He screamed, pressing his fingers hard against the latter's skull. At this point, Steve was overwhelmed with pain as his eyes were squinted shut, his lips Dearing to tear open as he could not bring himself to contain the pain that he was currently experiencing.

From the ground, Hakim was finding it quite difficult to move his body. After the way he had been manhandled, he'd be surprised if he would even be able to move in the next week or so. Feeling the pain around his backbone, he was hoping that whatever Blake had done hadn't somehow impaired his ability to walk, as Hakim was finding it difficult to feel the sensation in his legs.

'Steve… I need to save him before that bastard kill him!' Hakim told himself, but still, that wasn't enough to force his body to move. He was far too injured that would any small movement he would make, he would feel an intense pain that would urge him to stop moving his entire body altogether.

 'I… need… to… move!'

Blake had delivered a punch to the gut with his other hand, while still pressing against his skull with his right hand. From the looks of things, Blake was enjoying his current position, being the one who was on top. Being the one who was strong enough to beat those who were weaker than you to a pulp.

He relished in this feeling as he delivered punch after punch, each forcing Steve's body to jerk and shake, coughing out more blood as his voice began to grow hoarse and became not as loud as it was at first.

"I'm so strong that I can fucking kill you and not get in trouble for it!" He yelled, his eyes wide open as he laughed hysterically, drawing his fist back as it came swinging down towards Steve's abdomen in the blink of an eye, the force it carried much more than the ones before.

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Hakim was unable to move his body, but worst of all, was the fact that his friend was now the one suffering the brunt of Blake's madness, and all because of what? Because he just wanted to save his friend? Where did that land him? Now, he was the one in need of saving, and there was nothing Hakim could do to save him now.

'I… failed to help him…' he thought, as his eyes began to close, he was starting to accept the fact that wasn't anything else he could do that would perhaps change the current situation that they were both in. Best case scenario, they made it out of their current predicament with their lives still intact.

'No! I won't fucking give up!' He screamed in his head. 'Blake, today is the day that you die!' He declared, forcing all his energy to help him get back on to his feet.

"Aaahhh!!!" He screamed, squinting his eyes as he shook his head about. "I… will… kill… you!!!"

Turning his head, Blake's gaze fell upon the boy laying on the floor, in a pool of his own blood, threatening to take his life. 

"Hahahah! You must be fucking crazy! Do you really think you can do anything to me in your current state?!" Blake couldn't contain his laughter as he had let go of Steve, allowing his body to slide to the floor and walked towards Hakim.

'Hakim… what were you thinking?' Steve thought, barely clinging onto consiousness.

Now standing in front of his head, he bend down on his knees to have a closer look at him.

"Just look at you," he said, grabbing Hakim's jaw with his fingers. " You are so weak. So helpless. So pathetic. You couldn't even put up a fight against me. I guess what your excuse is is that I'm the strongest freshman in the school. Heck, some people are even saying that I'm just the strongest student in the entire school.

"As much as I'd like to believe them, that just isn't the case. I'm just one of those guys who's really strong and likes picking on the weak. Other than my family, there really isn't anything special about me. 

"But, at least I'm not a pathetic weakling like you," pressing hard, Hakim began to produce loud noises as he was unable move his jaw like he usually would. With his hands, he grabbed onto Blake's hand, but it was no use. It was like trying to move a boulder with a broom stick. Hakim tried so much, put in some much effort that he had actually broke both of his wrists.

"That's not the only snapping sound that would be heard today," Blake said, with a sinister smile on his face. "Let's see what else would pop when I strike it, shall we?"

'Hakim… what have you gone and do to yourself now?' Steve thought, before loosing consiousness.

Blake dragged Hakim's body and placed him with his back facing the wall, head slumpt forward as his legs laid stretched on the floor. With his right leg, he bend his body forward, his leg pointing backwards diagonally. With his current position, he was ready to deliver a kick right at Hakim's jawline, but right as he was about to do so, a flash of lightning had descended from the sky, striking him, Hakim, and Steve, who were currently in the hallway.

The electric charges carried by the flash of lightning was enough to make even Blake scream out in pain. In a desperate attempt to make the pain stop, he assumed that if he continued punching Hakim, that it would help alleviate the pain that he was currently feeling.

"Aaahhh! Why the fuck is this happening to me?! What have I done wrong yo deserve this?!" He couldn't stop yelling as the lightning threatened to bring his life to an end.
