Goliath and Jason stared each other down. This fight had been a long time coming. Point of fact, since I didn’t submit an article to the last issue of Nerd City and then we were delayed publishing this week this fight was delayed over three weeks. The anticipation has been overwhelming to the two warriors.

Goliath couldn’t take it any more. He raised his mighty sword and charged at his adversary. Jason silently stood and watched as his massive opponent approached. His cold eyes barely flinched as Goliath ran him through with his sword.

Leaving the long sword still sticking three feet though Jason’s chest, Goliath raised his arms in victory. Now to be fair, Goliath hadn’t read the scouting report on Jason but he should have been suspicious that the fight went down so easily. Still, it wasn’t exactly his gigantic brain he was known for. It was no surprise to anyone but Goliath when Jason looked down at the hilt in his chest and slowly withdrew the sword.

Goliath finally took notice of Voorhees removing the sword and grabbed it away from him. He then stepped back and took a mighty swing, this time at Jason’s head. Jason did not intend to be stabbed again. This time he grabbed the sword, one hand on the blade, the other on the hilt. His power took Goliath by surprise and despite the giant’s strength he took the sword from him.

Jason swung the blade. Goliath dodged what he expected to be a blow to his chest but was very disappointed to discover a moment too late that Jason’s target was actually his knee. The blade cleaved through the bones and tendon and completely severed the limb just below the knee.

The one-legged giant toppled to the ground. The fight wasn’t over yet, though. He grabbed Jason’s leg and with one hand above his knee and the other below, he destroyed all the ligaments in his knee.

Jason was wounded and crippled but retained the presence of mind to bring the sword around again. This time the sword dug into the flesh of the giant’s neck and sent his head toppling across the dirt.

Blood gushed from the open neck wound as Jason limped away to await his next battle.
