#7 of Revenge of The Nerds - Furry Style


Alrighty folks! College life is in session, and let me tell you, I love my college with a passion. (Not as much as my GF though) There's so much stuff I can do over there, it's impossible for me to be bored. But don't you worry my furry pals. I hadn't forgotten any of you, despite my new life. If you want proof, I wouldn't bother uploading a new chapter, now wouldn't I? Anyway, just a reminder that updates will be slow with school work, so without any more delay, lets get this story under way.

=============================================

Revenge of the Nerds, Chapter 6: Test of Pride.

=============================================

0~Narration~0

Reid speaking again. I don't know if you were around when Guy was putting on a show for everyone, but the show went so well, everyone ended up attending the auditorium. The whole point of that show, was so I can get into the faculty office, and steal the data that contained the test answers. And that whole operation would have went smoothly, if Vanessa hadn't showed up. Despite how beautiful she is, she is very deadly when she's mad. I will admit that I lucked out twice on escaping, but I don't think there will be a third time. Anyway, I'm heading on down to the pizza shack to meet up with Guy. I have to hand him his clothes so he may change out of that white casual suit he's wearing. Then we have to meet up with Rude once we're all set. What's the next test Rude has for us? I'm not sure..I'm no psychic. But I have a feeling this will be our hardest challenge of them all.

0~End Narration~0

"Hm....ten minutes. If they don't make it back, it's fun time for us all." Rude smirked, talking to some of the jocks that sat on the steps of the Alphadog's home. The auditorium was still in session, and apparently, almost everyone was sitting through it, because of the mysterious blond fox that dances like a pro, in a white dress suit. Some of the jocks saw it too, and wondered what was that all about, but they did not care. The only thing they care about right now, is the test answers that they are looking forward to.

"Five minutes...and still no sign of Guy or Reid. Well boys, looks like we get to try out our method after all." Rude's ears then twitched when heard the sound of foot steps hitting the ground, along with the sounds of someone panting. Those sounds became louder each second that passed, and it did not take long for Rude to figure out that his two errand boys are back. Rude clapped his hands to see that they made it back, with only four minutes to spare.

"We've got the data, Rude. All you have to do, is hook on a computer and make copies of the answers." Reid informed him, while handing him the flash drive that contained the test results.

"Good, good. Your proving yourselves worthy of us really well, but your not yet ready." Rude takes the flash drive, and puts it in his pocket. While he did this, the other jocks were looking rather shady. Some of them have a mischievous grin on their face. Others were making hand gestures that told Reid, and Guy, that they were going to die.

"Your next test...is a test of pride." Rude smirked, while the other jocks kept that shady aura around them. "You see...we jocks need to know that in the event that something were to happen to you both...you can defend yourselves, or hold your own very well. So for your final test, you two will go into a brawl, against..." Rude trailed off, and nodded at the other jocks. Two of them got up, and walked over to the double doors of the fraternity home, and slowly opened them.

A few seconds later, an bull walked forward, who is much taller, and has more muscles than almost all the jocks on the team. His ebony fur matches nicely with his blond mohawlk, and his horns are sharp as ever. The only thing he was wearing, was a pair of black shorts, that hover over his knees, various scars covering his body. "Berserker...defeat him, and your in." Berserker is one of the top three strongest jocks in the whole team. He ranks as second place, when he took down the Apeinator in only a few blows, and is definitely someone you do not want to piss off. Not only that, Berserker has a really bad temper, and acts only on emotion alone. So who is supposed to be stronger than this guy? Of course, it was obviously Rude, not because of strength, but because both the Apeinator, and the Berserker, are as smart as a wooden stick.

"Rude...you can't be serious..you really expect us to....defeat HIM?" Guy asked while pointing at the behemoth of a jock.

"Yeah..I agree with Guy. This just doesn't seem very fair to us...I mean, look at him." Reid added, which only made Rude laugh.

"You bet your ass I'm serious. Only the gutsy, smooth, and those with pride can stay with us. You may be gutsty and smooth, but that's not enough to live up to the Alpha Dog name." Rude told them. "We will arrange the fight to be held today, at five o'clock, at the old power plant that's just a few blocks from here. No one will ever go there, so it's perfect for us, and there will be an audience, since me and the boys are handing out invitations."

"Come on Rude! We won't stand a chance against him!" Reid attempted to reason with him.

"I have high expectations for you both, so I expect you guys to do well in this one too." Rude smirked.

"And what if we don't show up, eh?" Guy asked him. "Whatcha gonna do about it?"

In an instant, Rude swiftly walked up to Guy, and grabbed him by the shirt collar, Guy's nose almost touching Rude's. "I promise you both...I'll make your lives a living hell. For the rest of the year." Then Rude shoved Guy backwards so hard, Guy lost his footing, and fell on his back. "Now I expect you to be there by five....don't be late. Let's go." Rude motioned the rest of the jocks to follow him.

"A puppy and a kitten...it does not get any better than this." Berserker laughed before he walked with them.

Reid held out a hand to Guy, and helped him off his feet. "You alright man?" Reid asked him, while Guy was dusting himself off.

"Yeah...for now I am. But we'll be in a world of pain later." Guy sighed, and shook his head. "Maybe...I was wrong about Reika...maybe she set us both up, and knew we'd get in trouble. I bet her number is fake too." Guy was now sounding a bit mad about this. "I'm sorry I didn't listen to you earliar."

"Hey hey hey..don't beat yourself up. If I was in your position, I'd make the same mistake too...well..sort of..tell you what, why don't you call her, and see if she really did decieve you?" Reid suggested, patting Guy on the shoulder.

"Alright. That sounds like a good idea." Guy pulled out his cell, and dialed Reika's number.

Meanwhile, at the Beauty Queen's...

"So..did you get a good glimpse of his face? That dancer on stage was HOT!" A black panther was talking about the events that took place in the auditorium, not too long ago.

"I did, but he wore sun glasses. Maybe he wants his identity to be kept a secret..so mysterious.." A silver bat spoke next.

"Shoot, if he asked me out, I'd go on a date with him right then and there." Reika commented, before her phone begins to ring. She looked at the caller ID, to see that it was Guy's number. "Shhh! Girls! It's Guy!" All the girls went dead silent, and Reika answered on the fourth ring. "Hey, it's Reika, talk to me."

"Reika...it's Guy." A somewhat angered tone replied, that tone coming from Guy himself.

"Oh hey, Guy! How's it going? Were you there to see that sexy dancer on stage? My friends are going crazy over him!" Reika asked, pretending not to notice that Guy isn't in the mood.

Guy's cheeks turned a shade of red, before he spoke again. "N-N-Never mind that...we need to talk."

"Really? Well what's on your mind?" Reika asked him. "Your not trying to bail out on our date, are you?" Reika added that in, to make it sound like she really wants to go on a date with him.

"No..no. I'm not trying to bail..I called because I'm asking if you knew what Rude and the Alpha Dogs was planning to do with us from the very beginning, when I asked to stay at his home." Guy asked her, a little convinced with her question, but not convinced enough.

"Oh? I thought Rude was just going to let you stay. Did he do something to you and your friend?" Reika asked in a sincere, gentle voice.

"Yeah...he's made us perform these three crazy test...and I'm not allowed to say what they are. Let's just say that if Reid and I do not come up with a solution, our date will be in a hospital." Guy explained to her.

"Look, I don't care what Rude told you to do. What's happening now." Reika asked, sounding concerned about him.

Guy sighed before answering. "Rude is making us fight Berserker. We don't stand a chance against him..."

"Oh my...that isn't good..alright, when does he want to fight you?" Reika asked him. "And where is the location?"

"It's at the abandoned power plant, that is only a few miles from here. No one goes there any more so it's the perfect place to hold fights." Guy explained. "He wants us there at five sharp, today."

"Hm....I should have a talk with him. Maybe he'll reconsider if I can get through to him." Reika suggested.

"NO! Don't do that! If you go and talk to him, he'll know for sure that we told you everything." Guy warned her. "And god knows what he'll do, if he finds out what we tell you."

"Don't worry. I'll talk to him once he gives me the invitations to the fight. He'll give special invites to people that are worthy, which is always the most attractive girls on the campus, and clubs that are worth his time...like the martial arts club for example." Reika told him the full layout of her plan.

"Alright...thanks, Reika. You have no idea how much I appropriate this." Guy spoke, sounding a little bit calm now.

"Hey, I gotta make sure my date is all in one piece, AND everything has to be in the right place, if you know what I mean." Reika giggled before she continued. "Anyway, I'll text you once I talk to him, so keep your phone on."

"Alright, Reika. Thank you for helping us out." This time, Guy sounded much better, believing that everything will work out.

"Anytime, Guy~" Reika added a bit of charm in her voice, while she said his name. "Talk to you later."

"Alright, later." Guy answered before hanging up the phone, and his face completely red after that last part. He turned towards Reid, beaming a bright smile at him. "See? Everything is gonna work out for themselves. When Rude gives the invitations, she'll talk to him about it." But even Guy himself did not feel completely alright with this solution. Knowing Rude, he might still go on with the fight.

"That's a relief...maybe she is on our side. Maybe.." Reid was still a bit skeptical about this whole thing. "I don't know Guy...something just isn't right...she must have known they were gonna do this..if anything, she could have suggested a much safer house than the Alpha Dog's." Reid was not about to believe Reika. He is still very suspicious of her actions, and there is no telling when he'll be convinced.

It has been two hours since Guy had his conversation with Reika. The duo decided to hang out at a book store, while they waited for Reika to text him. Meanwhile, back on campus, Rude has been handing out invitations to everyone that was considered awesome in his book. When he came over to the Beauty Queen's, everyone in the house got one, including the house's guardian, Vanessa. But when he handed Vanessa's invitation, he made an attempt to woo her in, just like every other girl in the Beauty Queen's.

"And here's your invitation to the fight, oh beautiful one." Rude handed her his invitation, while bowing to her slightly. "Witness the battle, Reid and Guy will fend themselves against the all mighty Berserker. A front row view for someone as pretty as you are."

"Yeah, whatever." Vanessa was obviously not in the mood to put up with Rude's dumb antics, and sad attemps to get in her pants. She took the invitation, only because Reid, the cheetah that escaped her twice, was involved in this.

A little bit of history between Rude and Vanessa. Rude was on a personal mission, to woo every girl in the Beauty Queen's home. The only girls he has not gotten to yet, was Reika, Keerie, Shantea, Natalie, and finally, Vanessa. Rude has been working on all of them at the same time, and little by little, the girls become a bit more attracted to him. But the only one that would not fall for Rude at all, was Vanessa. She is tough as nails, and someone who would not waste her time with boys like Rude. Not only that, Vanessa is stubborn, and it will take a lot of time and effort to actually become the male that shines in her eyes. Rude has been trying to get with Vanessa for as long as he can remember, but no matter what he does, Vanessa keeps rejecting him. And this attempt that Rude is making now, will be no different.

"If your done with the invitations, then get out of here. You know that males are not allowed in this house." Vanessa's narrowed eyes, and her grave expression upon her face, told Rude that she has no time for games.

"Oh come oooon...lighten up a little. You know...someone like you can use a massage. I bet I can do that for you with my strong hands.." Rude slowly attempts to grope Vanessa, but before he can even get close to her, he heard Vanessa's claws extending, followed by a defensive stance. That alone, was enough to make Rude stop in his tracks.

"Listen you little puppy..." Vanessa spoke harshly. "These girls may fall for your charm very easily, and I feel really sorry that they do. But I will not buy into your stupidity. Not even for a second...now I suggest you get the hell out of here, before I let you experience something that will impact you for the rest of your life." Vanessa warned him.

"Oh..you mean sex?" Rude asked, with a huge grin upon his face.

A few seconds later, a black wolf was tossed out of an open window, and his body made a complete impact with the ground. "Oww..." Then he glanced back at the window, to see an angry Vanessa standing there. She then slams the window shut, and storms off.

"I love em when they are fiesty.." Rude grinned, before pulling out his cell to call Reika. After the third ring, Rude was greeted with a merrily "Hello~" From the other line.

"That Rude...who the hell does he think he is. Thinking he can just walk in here, and hit on anyone he damn well pleases..." Vanessa was fuming at the moment, after having to put up with Rude's behavior. She then heard someone talking down the hall, that sounded a lot like Reika...and it didn't take her long to figure out who she was talking to, due to the occasional giggles, and flirting. Reika only flirts with one guy so far, and of course, it had to be Rude. Frustrated over why Reika and the other girls found him so appealing, Vanessa decided to stay put, and listen in on her conversation.

"Yeah, Rude. He sounded like he was going to punch a tree." Reika laughed. "Well, he told me everything that was supposed to happen. I even threw in a couple of lines to make it sound like we really have something going on."

"Good, good...make sure he does not have the slightest clue what your really planning. At first, I thought that he would figure you out after the first two tests, but he's still as gullible as ever." Rude replied on the other end.

"What can I say? I'm a vixen with plenty of charm. Well, I have to text Guy, and let him know that he's still going to get his ass kicked." Reika laughed again. "Then, we can start planning on what to do with him on our date."

"Heh, and here I thought I was a total bad ass. Alright then, call me back once you gave him the news. I'll talk to you later." Rude told her.

"Later Wolfie Rudey <3" Reika said in a cheery voice, before the two of them hang up.

"Hm...." Vanessa was now in deep thought after listening. Should she tell Guy what kind of girl, Reika really is? Pondering over her answer, she came to a decision. "If it gets out of hand...I'll let him know..And Reika...she should know better. She used to be such a sweet girl.." With a sigh, Vanessa walked away, keeping her resolve to herself, for now.

Back at the book store, our main duo has left with a bag full of mangas. Both Reid and Guy chit chatted about all the stuff they were going to read, and talked about how television was starting to suck now and days. Their conversation was interrupted, when Guy's text message alarm went off. Both of them stopped in front of a bench, and set down their bags, then Guy pulls out his cell to read what this message has in store for him.

"Hey! It's from Reika! It must be the good news!" Guy smiled happily while he opens his message. But once he started reading it, his whole face went through a metamorphosis. His happy go lucky expression was reduced to a look of disappointment within seconds. He closes his phone and pauses for a moment, before telling Reid what it says.

"So...how did it go? What happened?" Reid asked him, sitting down on the bench.

"Bad news..Rude's not canceling that fight. We'll have to do it." Guy turned around, shaking his head. "Well, it's time for plan B."

"Wait wait...plan B? You had a plan B?" Reid raised an eye brow, surprised that Guy planned ahead for once.

"Yeah. I had a feeling Rude wouldn't let us off the hook that easily. Even if someone as hot as Reika asked him to." Guy begins to explain. "So, I say we head over to that abandoned power plant, and get a good look at where we are fighting." Guy instructed. "We might be able to find some way to use that environment to our advantage."

"Yeah! And it's an old power plant. There HAS to be something there that would be of good use." Reid got pumped up about this idea, and stood up from his seat. "Let's head over to the power plant now, and get a good look at it. The earlier, the better."

The abandoned power plant was not far from the campus. Guy, and Reid had to go through Korta first, which is the name of a forest that surrounded the outskirts of town. After going through the forest, Guy and Reid came across a rusty gated area, the gate having a huge gap. Behind that gate, was several towers and generators, that does not look like they are operational any more. On the gate, there was a pretty rusty sign that reads: "DANGER, HIGH VOLTAGE." Guy, and Reid walked through the gap, and checked on the generators, to see if they really cannot hold any power.

"So, how does it look over here." Guy asked, while Reid examined one of the generators that stood in front of him.

"Well...for one, power generators cannot generate power, unless it's broken down..so far, this is the only one that looks like it's in good condition." Reid then pulled out his mini tool kit from his pocket, and used a small screw driver to take out the bolts. He opens a small compartment in the generator, and steps aside for Guy to see. "The parts, everything except the wires in here is in top shape. I guess the reason why this was abandoned, is because someone must have caused some mischeif, and blew up the power here. This one however, survived the blast..and it still generates some power into it. Enough to be considered dangerous."

Reid puts the compartment back on the generator, then stood up, putting away his tools. "We can most likely use this to our advantage, if we plan our stuff right...we just have to know a bit about Berserker."

Guy only smirked when Reid mentioned their opponent. "What's there to learn about him? His name alone says enough. Not to mention...he's a bull. All we have to do, is just turn his emotions on him."

"That is true. Though bulls are amazingly strong, a majority of them are very short tempered. The slightest thing would make em mad." Reid pondered over this for a minute, and came to a solution. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"You bet I am." Guy smirked, knowing full well on what Reid is up to. "Let's come back here with a few supplies...we'll show them that all brawn and no brain is not how we do it."

Both Guy and Reid agreed on this plan, and carried it out without hesitation. The plan involved a lot of tools, jokes, and one bucket of red paint. When they finished their plan, the duo awaited their match, to see how this will all turned out.

"Alright, Reid..since you are faster, it would be best if you be the decoy, while I give our trap some juice." Guy handed Reid a short sleved red T shirt, but he did not put it on yet. That will happen when they arrive. "You distract him. Call him names, say corny puns, and even do some offensive stuff with that red shirt on. When I give you the signal, you'll know what to do." Guy instructed him, and he handed Reid his mini walkie talkie. Both of them made sure they were equipped, since it is a vital part of this operation.

"Heh, he won't be able to keep up with me. When it comes to out running people, that is my game." Reid smirked at this thought, while he suddenly picked up on a bunch of foot steps heading in their direction. "Well, they are here now."

A good group of students could be seen, walking through the forest and making their way to the abandoned power plant. The Alpha Dogs were leading them here, so they could all watch the fight. Just as Rude said he would do, he invited only the cool students in his book: The Beauty Queens, only the hard core musicians, and good friends of Rude's. They all surrounded what would be the fighting arena, Berserker, and Rude himself, stepping forward before everyone. Rude pulled out a megaphone, before he spoke.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Fuzziness and Scales! Tail and no Tail! Fangs and Claws!" Rude was obviously having fun with this. "You are all about to witness today's event! The battle between the superior, against the weak!"

The students gave all kinds of crazy cheers and whistles, while our duo just rolled their eyes.

"On my right side, we have the mean, the relentless, the fearful, the mad killing machine, the one bull who will trash you and show no remorse...give it up for Berserker!!!" When Rude called out his name, Berserker stood right there, and flexed his muscles, doing a couple of poses to show them just how strong he really is. He actually picked up a really heavy log, and snapped it in two before everyone. That made everyone go wild over this guy.

"And behind me, already in the arena, probably eager to get their asses handed to them, is the weaklings, Guy and Reid!!!" Everyone just booed them, giving them mean hand gestures such as the thumbs down, the middle finger, and some of them threw their snacks at them, which was futile do to the gate. Vanessa was also here, but she was watching from a distance, not wanting to be in a crowd full of idiots.

"I don't know why Reid and his friend decided to agree to this match...if anything, this is suicide..they must have a reason for going through all the trouble." Vanessa spoke to herself. "Well...I will find out, eventually..that is, if they live."

"Now, without further delay, let the beat down, begin!" Rude and Berserker went into the gate, where Guy and Reid waited for them. Berserker smirked at the two animals who appeared weak to him, and only clapped his hand and fist together, cracking his knuckles in the process.

"Now listen here, boys!" Rude begins to speak again. "There are no rules! Feel free to beat the living shit out of each other! Make sure you show no mercy for your foe! And with that said in done, start tearing each other apart!" Rude then walks out of the gate, and allows the fight to commence.

"Heheh, you two picked the wrong day to try and face me. Now I'm in a good mood...got any last words?" Berserker grinned, looking down at Guy and Reid, as if they were fresh meat.

Guy nodded at Reid, before Reid spoke first. "Wanna know the difference, between a bull and a cow?"

Berserker only raised an eyebrow, wondering what Reid could be talking about.

"A bull smiles when you milk it!" He then kicked Berserker right in the crotch, before he and Guy took off running, Reid slipping on the red shirt in the process.

"That...that SON OF A BITCH!!!" Berserker was rolling around on the floor, holding his nuts that were now swollen, thanks to the powerful impact from Reid. The students were laughing, and Rude was already on the floor.

"Hey fat ass! Like my new red shirt?!" Reid was now standing a good distance from Berserker, and started to dance, in a way to mock him. "Awwww...don't tell me your going to sleep." Reid pretended to sound disappointed.

"Grr...." Berserker was slowly getting up, already more than pissed off at what just transpired.

"Hey! Hey! What do they call a sleeping bull? A Bulldozer!! HA HA HA! I am punny!" Reid gave the bull his two middle fingers, which was more than enough to get Berserker going.

Soon, Berserker got right on his feet, and his face was mad enough to scare anyone. To prove his point, the moment he stood up, everyone stopped laughing, and he started to lower his head, preparing to charge at Reid...

"Heh! And your called the all mighty Berserker! What a bunch of BULL shit! AH HA HA HA!! I am punnier than ever!" Reid was even laughing at his own jokes, the students failing to hold in the urge to laugh.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!" Berserker gave a loud, scary "MOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Before he charges head first at Reid, moving much faster than what he and Guy anticipated.

"DAMN!!!" Reid made a break for it, Berserker trailing after him by only a few feet away.

"RUN YOU LITTLE PUSSY! WHEN I GET A HOLD OF YOU, YOU WILL BECOME A REAL PUSSY FOR SURE!!" Berserker yelled, while he chased Reid throughout the power plant.

"Alright Guy, it's up to you! Hurry and set the trap!" Reid spoke through the small walkie talkie, while he ran for his dear life.

"Already ahead of you." Guy replied, while he worked on trying to get this generator at full power. Since it has not run for such a long time, it will be a while before he can get it working again. He pulled out his small tool case, which contained a battery pack, a few screw drivers, rubber gloves, and extra wires to replace the ones that didn't work anymore.

Reid needed to gain some distance fast. If he does not shake Berserker off, he's likely to get caught. Being quick on his feet, Reid extracted his claws, and climbed up one of the towers, and decided to hang there, since this bull can't reach him now. "This should buy me some time..." Reid thought to himself, thinking that he is completely safe from harm. But that all changed in an instant, when he felt the tower shaking violently. Berserker was punching one of the legs repeatidly, the leg getting more damage with each impact. It didn't take long for the tower to lose it's ability to stand, and due to the old rust, the tower literally collapsed. Reid jumped off the tower, performed a double front flip, and landed on the ground, just in time, before he seriously got hurt.

"Dynamic entry!" Reid called out, striking a pose of his own, until he saw a fist heading straight for his direction. "Meep!" Reid back flipped out of it's path, as it collided with the ground. There stood the angry Berserker, currently on one knee, while he attempts to get his fist out of the ground. Reid only smirked at this, and walked away from Berserker, who was currently stuck. When he got a good distance from him, he turned around, and started to give him a lecture.

"You know what your problem is, Berserker? Under all that muscle...your probably an insecure little bull...who does not know how to satisfy himself in a proper, appropriate way." Of course, Reid was mocking him in this lecture, but little did he know, Berserker's fist was already out of the ground by now. Reid turned around, while he continued to speak. "See, if you just admit to your true, feelings, and come clean, you will live a much happier life. That, and you'll be a lot smarter too."

Reid folded his arms, and nodded to himself, when he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder. "What is it Guy, can't you see that I'm giving a lecture here?" Reid was completely oblivious to the fact that it was Berserker who tapped him. Then, Berserker gave Reid a shove, which caused him to nearly lose his balance. "Hey! What's the deal!" Reid then turned around while he spoke. "Your lucky I have cat-like reflexes, or I would have.....ah..." Reid stopped talking, when he stared right into the body of a bull who was twice his size, and glaring daggers right down at him.

"Hey...I see you got your fist out...that's nice and all but um...there's one problem." Reid spoke timidly, while Berserker only cracked his knuckles. "I'm over there!" Reid shouted, pointing in a direction behind Berserker.

"Hm?!" Berserker turned around, and tried to search for him, believing that Reid was exactly where he pointed to. "I don't see...wait a minute..." Realizing that he was played like a fool, Berserker went to chase after Reid, only to see that he was now hidden.

"Hey! Is that set up finished yet?" Reid asked, while he surrounded himself with obstetrical, and keeping a look out for Berserker.

"Just a few more minutes. Keep him busy until then." Guy replied, while he was still in the middle of regaining power into the generator. He had the battery pack set up, but was still in the middle of re-wiring the bad wires.

"Alright...but make it fast. I'm not sure how long I can keep this..." Suddenly, he heard a big piece of metal being shoved away, and there stood Berserker, a very evil grin upon his face. "...up.." Reid quickly got up, and took off without a second thought. Berserker tried to grab his tail, but it barely slipped away while Reid narrowly escaped.

This game of cat and mouse was going on, the students laughing their asses off when Berserker puts every effort in trying to capture this kitty. Reid had Berserker ram his way through other towers, sturdy sheets of metal that wern't so sturdy no more, and even had him trip on his own feet a few times. Reid was just too fast for Berserker to capture. Despite all the power Berserker packs, what good is it, if he cannot even strike his target. Then, Berserker had an idea. He stopped chasing Reid, and simply wandered away.

Reid, who still thought Berserker was chasing him, continued running for his life, not even looking back for a second.

"Good news Reid. I'm just about done." Guy contacted Reid, and informed him of his progress.

"Alright! About time too. So, shall I lure him in?" Reid asked, while he continued to run.

"Yeah, that's the ticket. Provoke him as hard as you can." Guy laughed, while he stood up from his position.

"Gotcha....huh?" Reid turned around, and stopped running when he realized that Berserker was no longer on his tail. "Wow...I must have over did the running...he's not behind me at all."

"Really?" Reid asked. "That can't be...as big and stubborn as he is, he should still be chasing you..." Little did Guy knew, Berserker was approaching him from behind, deciding to go after him, and use him to take down Reid as well.

"Something's not right then....I wonder why he..." Reid thought about it for a moment, and Berserker's plan hit him like a ton of bricks, when he realized what was about to happen. "Shit! Guy! Run! Quickly!"

"Wha--- AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Was all Reid heard, before Guy could give a proper response. "Guy! Guy! Come in! Dammit!" Reid had to hurry to Guy's location, thinking the worst is about to happen. When he arrived, there stood Berserker, with Guy laying flat on the ground, completely unconscious. "Guy! What did you do to him?!" Reid asked, while glared daggers at Berserker.

"I punched him...he's just taking a very long nap." Berserker laughed at Reid's expression, while he kicked Guy's unconscious body. "And now, you are next...come on. Come help your friend...unless you want his bones to break." Berserker placed his foot on Guy's arm, and slowly begins to apply pressure.

Reika, who is witnessing the fight with the rest of the beauty queens, were feeling uneasy about this. The rest of the girls were not approving of this either, and all they could do is watch. Some guys thought this was funny at first, and believed that it was going to be a joke fight...but breaking Guy's bones seems to be taking it too far. Rude and the rest of the jocks were the only ones who thought it was all amusing.

"This is wrong...I don't care what everyone thinks...I'm going to aid them for now." Vanessa, who was still watching from afar, did not like where this was going. She begins to make her way towards the battle ground.

"There's gotta be something I can do....that generator's purpose was for him to ram it....but now he's standing in front of the damn thing...." Reid was running out of time, and had to find a way to save Guy fast, or they will both be in a world of hurt. "Unless....this will be risky but...I have to try."

Suddenly, Reid held his hand out, and brought it across his chest. He then strikes a heroic pose, just like the heroes straight out of his favorite shows, then yells "HENSHIN!!!" Reid begins to strike similar poses like this one, and talking as he does this. "By my will to fight for justice! I shall use this power! To destroy all greater evil! I am Reid the quick! Faster than your eyes can see! HOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!"

Berserker, the students, and even Vanessa was in total silence when Reid did this. They all laughed and saw all of this as a stupid joke just to prolong the situation. Even Berserker was laughing. But this was exactly what Reid was aiming for...running with all his might, he shoulder rammed Berserker as hard as he can. Berserker who was laughing the whole time, did not expect this...and could not prepare himself for the impact. His massive weight crushed the generator he fell upon, causing it to light Berserker up like a Christmas tree.

"BLLLAHHAHHAHFGGGGHHAAAHAHSHGAHHAA!!" Berserker couldn't utter a single word, as volts surged through his body. Once the shocking has ended, he collapsed right there next to Guy, his body covered in soot. He wasn't injured, but it put him out cold. After reviving that impact, he would not wake up for a long time.

"No way...." Rude, who probably had a much more shocked expression than everyone else, walked into the battle ground, and stopped infront of the unconscious Berserker. He lifted his arm, and lets it fall, kicked him, and even spat on his face to see if he got up. Since Berserker did not respond, it was confirmed that he was out cold. Smacking his own forehead, he glanced over at Reid, who was currently smirking at him. Rude knew what he had to do...sighing, he stands before the students, motioning Reid to come with him. Reid picks up Guy, carrying him on his back, then follows Rude.

"As much as I hate to admit this....the nerds....has won." Rude spoke with disgust, while the students were still in total shock. But that all faded, when one of them stood up, and whistled loudly for the nerds and their victory. That whistle was followed by claps, then cheers. "Hey...Apenator...pick someone who's almost as strong as you are. And carry Berserker to our house..." Rude ordered, while the Jocks got to work. "As for you two...you shall be initiated tomorrow at 7 PM...don't be late." Rude ordered harshly, obviously pissed, and he walked away. The other students, who were still very excited over the outcome, had left to head back to the campus to spread the word, via cell phone, videos, and pictures.

"You hear that, Guy? We won." Reid laughed, while he sets Guy down, allowing him to rest. He sits down next to him, while night fall begins to arrive, the sun setting over the horizon.

"Well...I must admit. I am impressed." A femanine voice called out to Reid, that sounded all too familiar. Vanessa stood next to Reid, who's fur stood up in an instant, and jumped from his sitting position.

"Damn! Can't a guy get enough for one day?" Reid thought Vanessa was here to finally get her revenge, but Vanessa's only response, was a nodding of her head.

"Which is why I'm not going to do anything to you for now....instead, I'd actually like to talk with you. To find out some things..." Vanessa informed him, while she sat down next to Guy's right, who was still out like a light.

"O....kay.." Reid, who was still on guard, sat down next to Guy's left, keeping his eyes on Vanessa at all times.
