Kristopher was out and about again trying to get away from Conan who was with Nergüi. He hadn't told any of them about his 'wonderful' adventure with birdbrain. In fact he had mostly forgot about the other bird kid.
So it came to be quite a surprise and annoyance when he saw the kid get tackled from behind again. He was getting really annoyed with that girl and her lackeys not to mention birdbrain who couldn't seem to stop being a target. Finally his annoyance turned into anger as he saw the bird kid try to get out from underneath the big lug but the lug only put more of his weight on the kid.
He could take it no more. He let out a mighty roar....er mighty giant squawk and ran towards the lug. He dove at him and knocked him off Chadrick. He then proceeded to pull back his fist and firmly plant in the boy's face. "HOW ABOUT YOU PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!!!!!" He screamed getting ready to punch again.

It seemed like forever that the thug sat on him as he was forced to listen to the name calling. He hadn't asked for this! A mouthful of dirt and his squished body prevented any comebacks. If that jerk pressed any harder, he was sure his ribs would snap! He groaned as an elbow dug into his back when suddenly the weight was lifted. He spat out the dirt and gasped in a breath, unable to believe the threatening voice he was hearing. It couldn't be...
Quickly pushing himself up onto dizzy legs, he looked on in shock as the boy he had tried so hard to avoid was once again saving him. Curls yelled angrily at the intervention, commanding the second thug to attack. She wasn't about to get beaten again by the feathery bonehead! Meanwhile, the other boy just stared at his buddy getting beat on. Chad took the advantage to give him a hefty shove, the large kid toppling over purely from surprise. Scurrying to his feet, thug number two finally reacted, reaching out to catch Kris' hand. Probably a bad decision.
Feeling terrible that Kris had once again had to come to his aid, and figuring he too would face the brunt of some harsh words like before when this was over, he turned and faced the curly twins. "Get outta here you brats before I claw your faces off!" He snapped angrily. Without their guards, the two pale children turned even paler and ran off, screaming at their guards to save them.

Kristopher was about to pummel the lug he had already punched when his hand stopped in mid punch. He glared at the other lug who had grabbed his hand. He quickly retaliated by putting all of his weight on his other hand and his left leg. He then shot out his right leg full force and kicked lug number two in the gut. His left arm and leg couldn't handle the weight and unbalance and he left himself fall to the left. He rolled a little and sprang up ready to dish out the hurt.
He really didn't need to bother cause lug one and two were both wheezing (lug one was also crying a bit and bleeding from his nose) and trying to crawl away after their leaders. Kris let them go glaring all the while. Finally when they were out of sight he turned to the bird kid. ".........." He silently seethed his fists clenching and unclenching, "Why is it every time I see you.... you have a freaking target painted on you for those lugs to see?! Do I have to save your sorry birdbrain butt every time?! God! I thought I told you to learn how to defend yourself! Or to be quicker and sly!"
He heaved some more angry breaths before taking a deep big one and letting it out. "You are such a sorry sight. ..... And you know what I can't stand seeing you be such a thing. You are going to learn to defend, be quicker, more sly, and even to fight..... even if it means me beating it into you."

While extremely pleased to see the curly siblings running in fear, he couldn't help but stare in awe at Kris. He was so strong and quick! Chad had exellent reflexes, but not the fighting kind that seemed to be natural in the other boy.
Realizing how angry Kris was, even with his back turned, Chad took a small step away and held his arms ridgidly at his sides. His back still ached, but it was nothing compared to the angry glare that suddenly devoured him and made his palms sweat. He was definitely scarier than the two thugs together. He listened silently to the scolding, not really having anything to say for himself. He was trying to learn! But all he had was running at the moment, and they always caught him by surprise.
His eyes widened at Kris' words. He was going to train him?! His claws dug into the ground, feeling nervous and excited all at once. He licked his lips, tasted dirt, and quickly wiped his face off. ".......My name's Chadrick." He said, trying to use a calm but strong voice that he had been practicing.

Kris had calmed down a bit more and took in Chadrick's stance. He smirked when the bird kid said his name. He at least tried to sound strong and tough even though there was a bit of a waver in his tone. Eh... just chalk it up to getting his lungs crush. "Alright Chadrick..... I don't want to save your butt anymore. So you are going to learn. First off....... you gotta clean yourself up. I mean your clothes are a mess and your face..... Is really a mess." He sighed and began walking away automatically figuring that birdbrain would follow.
He led them to a small not often used park that had a small bathroom area. Chadrick could clean himself up while he checked his fist. It hurt quite badly making him think he might have punched lug one wrong. And yes he wasn't showing the pain he felt, only wusses did that. He checked his hand out, saw it looked fine other than a bruise forming. He did run it under some cold water hoping that might help, which it didn't really.

Looking down at his clothes, he sighed and tried to brush them off. Looking up as Kris was walking off, he hurried a few steps to close the distance, falling into step a few feet behind the stockier boy. In the restroom, he looked at his clothes uncertainly. They'd have to be washed.. Unless he took it off and actually rinsed it in the sink, it would just become mud and make it worse.
Pulling out a couple paper towels, he went to another sink and soaked it with cool water. Inhaling sharply as he pressed to his jaw, he looked into the dirty mirror, spying a red mark spreading along where he'd hit the ground. He glanced at Kris, frowning at the bruise on his hand. Biting his tongue, determined to not look anymore like a wimp than he already did, he scrubbed the rest of his face until it was clean.

Kris turned off the faucet since the water wasn't helping. He didn't hear any noise of pain coming from Chadrick but he didn't look over. He was already learning that guys overlooked other guy's pain by not looking or paying attention to it. Made the guy in pain feel better. He had noticed it when the carpenter guy who had helped with the tree house hit his own hand with the hammer. When Kris did it to himself a few days later he really learned about it. It felt much better to have his pain ignored than pointed out.
When he thought the bird boy was done he looked over. "Much better. So shall we work on dodging, blocking, or being sly?" He asked as he moved out of the bathroom. He really didn't feel like doing anything with his fists but this part did offer swings and those could be used as something to dodge.

So, rule number one: don't show the pain. ...Did that mean Corny and Gem weren't allowed to kiss his boo-boos anymore? Well, that was part of becoming tough probably.
Looking up when he was spoken to, he nodded and quickly followed, wondering what to do today. "Umm... Dodging?" That made sense to him. If he could add dodging to his speed, it would be a good start to getting away from the crew after him.

Kris nodded. "Dodging it is." He said walking towards the swings, "Come join me for the swings of doom. You gotta stand in front of the swing and I'll swing it at'cha. You gotta dodge. If that proves too much or you'd rather try another way I can swing all of them and you can run through them while avoiding them." He walked behind one of the swings and grabbed it. This would help Chadrick out and amuse him at the same time.

"Swings of doom?" He asked, biting back a laugh. They sounded more silly than scary. But then, the thought of having to dodge those hard plastic seats had him hesitate. Kris was probably going to swing those pretty hard at him...
He focused on the directions and nodded, standing warily in the path of the swing. He bent his knees slightly, bracing himself for when the seat would come at him.

Once Chadrick got in the path of the swing, Kris took a step back and pulled the swing with him. He raised it as high as he could and looked at the bird kid. "Ready? Good cause here it comes!" He released the swing, giving it a hard push. He quickly stepped back so he didn't get hit when it swung back.

His pale eyes were locked onto the swing, unable to hold back a yelp as it flew at him. He ducked down just in time, feeling it breeze past his head. He was so excited that he jumped back up and forgot about the back swing. Feeling it thump against his back, his big smile dropped into a tight-lipped frown, the annoyed look on his face clerly showing that he knew he'd just done something stupid. Sighing, he grabbed the swing and pushed it back to Kris without a word, preparing himself again for the next swing.

Kris rolled his eyes and shook his head when Chad began to celebrate too soon. He caught the swing and pulled it back again. "So you know what you did wrong. Don't do it again..... or if you do move faster." He said pushing the swing hard again. He again stepped back to keep out of the swings way and to see how Chad did. If Chad got hit again maybe they'd try the other way for a while.

Focusing intently, this time he dodged down right on time. He also rolled off to the side for good measure before popping back up with a new smile on his face. Cool! Now he could dodge and- He turned to look at a voice yelling from across the park. Dinner already? Looking back to Kris, he suddenly wondered how he was supposed to bid this guy farewell. He didn't really like the guy, but the gryphon had helped him out... "Um.. thanks. See you around." He said, spinning and hurrying off home.
Fin!
