Of a New Midday
No One Freaking Out
IN THE MOVIES, when shit happens like this, you would hear screams, watch people fleeing all before seeing the actual fight.
But I didn’t. It’s as if New York is empty for the first time. Not a person in sight. We first spot two people, in different colors, throwing punches.
How is no one freaking out?
There is a blond in red and a redhead in blue whom continue going at it. People inside the game gallery are leaning against the glass door, watching the two large people fighting. I, too, lean against the door. I lost Phin to the crowd. While pressing my face against the glass door, I get a better look at the two madmen.
I didn’t know any of these people. Raspberry (AKA blond in red) gets thrown to the ground. Blueberry (AKA redhead in blue) uses their hands to choke Raspberry. Raspberry blocks the hits, and within a second, Raspberry kicks Blueberry until Raspberry finally pushes Blueberry off their body.
Now, Raspberry jumps on Blueberry’s back, choking them with their forearm. Blueberry is throwing their hands to grab Raspberry, frantically running around.
The moment Raspberry gets Blueberry on the floor, a rumble erupted from the grey sky. Everything is silent. After what feels like a minute, a crowd of alien-like-people run and crowd Blueberry and Raspberry.
“Oh, shit! There’s more!” someone yells, and I’m thinking it’s Phin, from the sound of the scream.
The alien things are the ugliest things I’ve ever seen.
Raspberry motions them to launch towards Blueberry. I try to get a better look of the fight, and so did everyone else so I feel a lot of people hitting my back. Someone manages to hit my hamstrings.
Blueberry is trying to block Raspberry’s minions, still on the floor. He’s crossing his arms over his head while trying to kick a couple of those alien things off. One of the minions grab a hold of Blueberry’s legs. Another punches his gut. Another tramples his other leg.
In this moment, I feel the need to root for Blueberry. Watching this redhead growing vulnerable by the second just saddens me. Which is strange since I didn’t know who is the good and the bad guy.
The moment I think Blueberry is a goner, the floor shakes. This is where I thought we are goners as well. The floor is shaking beneath us, and we all didn’t seem to care.
As the floor rumbles below us, in a distant, two more figures come into view. They have the same fit as Raspberry and Blueberry. However, these two are glowing and a scratch nowhere in sight.
They both fling their bodies towards Blueberry.
HELL YEAH.
Within seconds, yes seconds, the two new ones start defeating the ugly aliens.
As if they are in slow motion, the two help Blueberry up to their feet. Patting Blueberry’s back, the three of them charge towards Raspberry. A couple aliens throws themselves towards the trio but it doesn’t stop them. The three finally get a hold of Raspberry, preventing them to make another move.
Everyone is cheering. I think it’s over. Was anyone scared? Just me? How is no one scared?
After I think the fights done, my thoughts immediately go blank.
I mutter under my breath, “I still have that final to study for, huh?”
But I didn’t. It’s as if New York is empty for the first time. Not a person in sight. We first spot two people, in different colors, throwing punches.
