Chapter Text
Xander took what might've been the deepest breath of his life, lunged back, and…
“To the left!” Teruko yelled, sliding to the left as Xander attempted to thrust his knife into Teruko’s abdomen.
Xander’s eyes practically bulged out of his head as he realized Teruko had dodged his attempt at stabbing her. Angrily, Xander…
“Take it back now y'all,” Teruko yelled yet again as she jumped backwards, almost crashing into the computer lab table behind her. She knew Xander was going to come at her again, so she used a familiar song to dodge his attacks.
“Okay, what the fuck is this, Teruko?” Xander screamed back at Teruko as he lunged back again, thrusted forward…
“One hop this time!” Teruko yelled as she jumped higher than beyond most people’s capabilities onto the computer lab table, and she now stood over Xander who was sickeningly pale and sweating profusely despite lack of much action.
“How… your reaction time…” Xander clutched his head with his non-knife hand and laughed at himself in a deprecating way.
“Xander Matthews, I'll show you what it means to be the Ultimate Lucky Student,” Teruko declared, and within an instant she shouted again, “Right foot lets stomp!”
Xander was instantly unarmed as Teruko lifted her right foot up and stomped on Xander’s knife hand, causing him to drop the knife and clutch his knife hand with his non-knife hand in pain.
“Left foot lets stomp!” Teruko yelled as she jumped down off the desk, leading with her left foot. She quickly regained her footing and grabbed the knife off the floor.
“You… you think you can escape your own death by using the Cha Cha Slide, Teruko,” Xander looked at her, as he was losing his sanity in the blink of an eye, absolutely awed that Teruko’s luck allowed such quick reaction time and she was guiding herself through a popular party song, “This is insane, even for you and your abilities…”
At once, Xander felt defeated, but he decided to persist.
Teruko stood up and took a deep breath, lunging back just as Xander had done as he tried to stab her the first time.
“Cha Cha real smooth!” Xander shouted as he started doing the cha cha, but…
Teruko thrusted the weapon right through Xander’s stomach, and he immediately fell to the ground.
“You idiot!” Teruko started manically cackling, her hands ducking for her stomach because her ribs were starting to hurt, “Xander, are you stupid?”
“Why…” Xander was stuck in his own head, ignoring Teruko completely, “Why… did this plan… have to fail…? All I needed to do was kill…” his breaths were getting too shallow for his own comfort.
“Womp womp,” Teruko said as she started to regain her composure, “it's your fault for thinking using the cha cha when I was about to stab you was a good idea. Now you're going to die, traitor.”
Teruko dropped the knife on top of Xander’s dying body and walked out of the computer lab.
