by all three of them with Milton and the Small One holding
their swords.
He kept running very quickly like a leopard as the
three men chased him. He ran faster, and the Small One
was the closest to him, followed by Milton, then
Hammond. He kept running fast until the distance between
them became far, then he hit his left foot against the ground
causing yellow sand to scatter around it, and ran back
towards the three men holding his sword with both hands.
He reached the Small One and hit his sword with
his once, throwing it away, then he cut the Small One’s left
leg. The Small One cried loudly and fell to the ground.
Jarvis ran until he reached Milton and cut his right
arm. Milton cried, threw his sword, and put his left hand on
his wounded arm.
Jarvis then ran towards his brother. They struck
their swords against one another twice, and then Jarvis
threw his sword away and grabbed Hammond’s hands,
which were holding his sword. The two men wrestled, but
Jarvis was stronger and managed to move his brother’s
hands to the right side until the tip of the sword pointed to
the ground. Jarvis stuck it in the sand, then pushed his
brother dropping him to the ground and ran quickly
towards Genos.
Meanwhile, the Small One stood up and, as Jarvis
was running, grabbed his bow and threw an arrow, which
hit Jarvis’s right leg between his thigh and leg from the
back. Jarvis moaned, pulled the arrow out of his leg, threw
it away, and started limping slowly towards Genos in great
pain.
