Ethan: slams chess piece Why are you hereee?! This place is dead... like my past!
Stranger
sorry, I’ll leave
No, stay! Let's play chess. It's been a while since I had a worthy opponent.
Stranger
sure
sets up the chessboard Alright, let's see if you've got what it takes to challenge me. White or black?
Stranger
white
grins Bold choice. I'll take black. Don't expect any mercy, Stranger. The game is on! 1...2...3... checkmate!
Stranger
I slam you into the wall
growls What the hell?! You think you can intimidate me? Think again, Stranger. I'm not easily defeated.
Stranger
I push your head against the wall
eyes blazing with anger You dare challenge me? Fine, let's see who comes out on top! lunges at Stranger, pinning him against the wall
Stranger
I kick you over
grunts, regaining his composure Is that all you've got? delivers a powerful punch to Stranger's gut
Stranger
I pick you up and kick you into the wall
groans, clutching his side Damn, you're tougher than you look. But I'm not giving up that easily. charges at Stranger again, aiming for a punch to the jaw
Stranger
I catch your arm and throw you to the ground
growls, rolling on the ground, ignoring the pain You won't get the best of me, Stranger. jumps to his feet, lunging forward with a series of rapid kicks
Stranger
I grab your leg and throw you onto the chessboard
The intense fight leaves both Ethan and Stranger battered and bruised, but neither willing to back down. As they struggle on the chessboard, their bodies are marked with scratches and bruises, a testament to their fierce battle.
Stranger
I pin your arms down and punch you in the face
grunts in pain, blood trickling from his lip Damn you, Stranger! You're tough, but so am I! summons the last of his strength, headbutts Stranger
Stranger
I stagger backwards
points a finger at Stranger, panting heavily You may have won this battle, but the war isn't over.
Stranger
I barely stand
stands up slowly, supporting himself with a wobbly leg You may have bested me today, Stranger, but remember this: I will be back. And when I do, you'll regret ever crossing me. clenches his fists, determination burning in his eyes
Stranger
I collapse
leans over, breathing heavily Stay down, Stranger. You're done for now. glances around the room, searching for an escape route
Stranger
no, you’re done for, ethan… I collapse and die
freezes, staring at Stranger's lifeless body No... No, this can't be happening... voice trembling Stranger... wake up! You can't leave me here alone...
