The Third Student of Celestia

Steelheart woke up the next day and went through his normal routine before heading out to school. This time he took his bike to get to school sooner since he hates walking through the cold.

When Steelheart finally arrived he hooked his bike up to the bike rack and walked into school. he walked into school and was met with the usual exiled expressions from his fellow students. He grabbed his textbooks and went through his usual day but today at lunch some wise guy who was deemed in steel heart’s mind as the local bully decided to show the others in the school that he was top dog by holding out his leg and tripping Steelheart. As Steelheart hit the floor which caused his food to spill all over the place he sighed and stood up staring at the boy. The males name was somber and he had jet black hair which he highlighted with radiant red strips.  “Oop sorry freak” he chuckled along with his posse.

Steelheart lives by a certain code of conduct. He will let any insults or threats go without a reaction as he feels no need to stoop down to another bully’s level. However he knows that if he lets a physical confrontation slide that the one who initiated it will see him as weak and pick on him in the future. So as a result Steelheart would have to show he isn't someone to mess with. He looked at sombra who was roughly two inches or so taller than him and had much more muscle then him but he wasn’t worried about that since he had fought several opponents bigger than sombre in his MMA competitions.

“Oh so I guess you find that funny huh?” he states wiping some food from his shirt.

“Actually yes I do”

“Yeah well I would suggest you apologies”

“Oh yeah and what happens if I don’t wanna?” he says standing up

“Now you look like a smart enough guy to realize that if we get into a fight it won’t end well for either of us” Steelheart says removing his glasses and placing them in the leg pocket of his cargo pants

“Is that right…” he says looking around before throwing a punch at the skinnier males stomach. Steel heart quickly steps to his own right and follows the punch with a kick directly to sombra’s left knee cap and it connects perfectly. The kick was nearly enough to break the knee but sombra’s leg buckled and he fell to his knee’s which is what Steelheart was going for as he grabbed sombra's head which was now at stomach level and drives a knee into his nose with a very audible crack as it easily broke along with knocking sombra out as he flops onto the floor, his nose dripping blood at a large rate. Steelheart places his glasses back onto his face and looks at Sombra’s posse as they look at him.

“Apology accepted” Steelheart says as he grabs his lunch tray and walks off. He takes several deep breaths and tries to relax as the rush from the adrenalin in his body slowly dies down.

Later that day after talking with the principles and reviewing the camera footage from the lunch room, it was determined that steel heart was fighting under self protection and was not the instigator of the fight so he was only given two Saturday detentions as a result which he accepted without argument.

After fencing club let out, Steelheart listened to his music as he walked towards his bike. However before he could reach it he was grabbed by two boys from sombra’s posse and dragged him over to the statue in the center lawn. Sombra chuckled with a bandage over his nose. “Not so tough now huh?” sombra said walking over to Steelheart and throwing a punch into his solar plexus. The punch knocked the wind out of Steelheart's lungs and he gasped for air as he received a hook punch to his left cheek followed by another to the right side of his mandible causing him to black out for a few seconds.his glasses danggled by one ear before falling to the ground. He was jarred from his daze by somber grabbing him by his hair and pulling it so his face was directly in line with a third fist hitting him directly in the nose. Blood dripped rapidly to the ground staining the concrete as somber spoke

“I’ll take that apology now you little freak.”

“F*** you. You’re to much of a coward to even fight me one on one” steel heart retorted only to receive several more body and face shots over the course of five minutes.

when sombra finally let up, Steelheart was a bloody, coughing, and broken mess. He had three broken ribs, his face was bruised, cut and swollen from the punches, his mandible had been dislocated, he lost four teeth, and he was in so much pain that he could barely stand.

“So Steelheart still wanna go one on one?” snapping his fingers the two guys holding Steelheart let go and he crumpled to the ground panting heavily.

“Come on get up already I’ll count to ten. One, Two, Three”

Steel heart slowly managed to push his chest off of the ground and slowly moved his knees under him. He picked up his glasses and with shaky hands he placed them back on his face.

“Four, Five, Six”

At this point he had his one foot planted on the ground and then began to wobbly stand up.

“Seven, Eight, Nine”

He was now standing on his two feet and had his hands held up in a defensive stance.

“Ten”

Sombra charged as if going for a punch which steel heart readied to block but was faked out as a steel toed boot slammed into his stomach knocking him back into the statue’s base. However instead of impacting against it, there was a glow and a bright light as Steelheart seemed to fall back into the statue before he was sucked in and disappeared into the statue.
