33 - Bargaining Chips



The first Cuscus pulls himself over the railing dripping water all over the ground. He is not happy. He sends a power punch directly at Kyle’s face, but Kyle drops to the floor; the third Cuscus moves his head in time and is only grazed.
Kyle slides between his friend’s legs. He launches his fist straight up into the Cuscus’ gut forcing him two feet into the air. He lets go of René and them rolls over clutching his belly. He’ll be out for a while.
Now that two remaining Cuscuses have lost their shields and bargaining chips there is nothing to hold Kyle back. Of course, seeing their brother writhing on the floor probably removes any inhibitions the Cuscuses may have had. Now we will have a real fight. Now my test can truly begin.
The Cuscuses move in opposite directions boxing Kyle in. Or so they think. He reaches up, grabs an artificial branch, and flips himself up onto it. It figures someone known as the Wandering Koala would take to the trees. The Cuscuses follow suit, one on the same branch and another on a slightly higher one. Kyle spin kicks the higher Cuscus who puts his arms up to block. Kyle launches a few more kicks and punches, all of which are easily blocked. The Cuscus smiles, but I know he’s merely gaging the Cuscus’ strength and abilities. Just what I would do.
