A.. R. Little Village
As I charge Big Bass I knew that we would die, I would die and so would Kannas village. With both bats raise made of metal above my head, they form a cross. “B-bring it o-on your son of b-bitch! I scream. Kanna did too when Bass a man of at least seven feet, hands that could summon blue fire. The ground became engulf in blue flame as Bass fist struck sent me into the oblivion.
Little village two days ago.
As I enter her life I did what I always done had my head down, cover by my old worn cap. The village I had come too is a place called little village, I had just enter the watch post. The only one on watch seem to be this girl, she had long red hair. She wore a blue shirt and had thick glasses covering her eyes. On her feet are the cleanest white shoes I have ever seen. Weird?
“h-hello m-ma” I mutter. She look up my finger closing around her book.
“Hey um, welcome too little village. Name?” she said.
“I rather n-not s-say.” I said. She look a little young to be the watch guard. I guess her around the age of seventeen turns.
She stood up and eye me, she pull down her glasses. “If you don’t say a name I will pick one out for you. How about this… I will tell you my name and you give me yours. Hun?” she said.
I said nothing.
“Kay my name is comic little. Now that you know my father name it is custom for thee to tell me of his fathers.” I said nothing.
“But I d-don’t know my f-father’s name.” I wonder how she saw me with my black hair and me wearing a black jacket that is way too hot for this weather. And I wonder what she made of my two bats, strap to my back.
“Ok fine I will make one up for ya Kay.” She smile.
“Ok how about Kevin?” I wince. “Kay how bout David or Allan.” I lifted up his cap and scratch my hair.
“I really d-don’t t-think so.” I said.
She pull at her red hair and bit her lip
. “Hey! How this James!” my face shifted from normal to pure white rage. I grip his jacket tails and took a breath.
“N-no rather n-not.” I commented
As she suggested john and Larry. Someone step into the doorway.
Me being a loner, I learn to watch my back.
“Be with you in a minute sir. “Comic said
Thing is I she never finish saying sir.
Who stood there is one of the most evil man in all of little village. Big bill Bass. Or so I would come to find out.
As the big man grab my shoulder and grip my arm I knew that there would be trouble. With my right hand I stated to reach for one of my bats when the woman Comic grab me in a hug.
“Do not do anything you weirdo.” She whisper.
Ok a girl is giving me a hug, don’t freak just remain calm. I don’t like being touch too much, but for some reason she was ok. As the girl Comics back away the big man behind me squeeze my shoulder more. My skin started to feel like it was being fried like chicken. The big man face lean into my right ear.
“Well what do we have here girlie.” He let go of my arm and step over me. “Who this jerk off your new boy toy?” new did she have many. Hey, no brain stay on topic. The big man was over seven feet tall with legs and arms made of pure muscle, his hair the color of flame. He were no weapon instead on his hands worn oven mittens. Weird.
“S-so who’s the oven m-man?” I ask. Comic face twisted into a look of pure horror.
”You idiotic dumb ass!” she scream. The oven man lean over me.
” You got some balls boy toy.” He bellow. I drew both of my bats.
” Were n-not r-really a couple o-oven man.” I said. The oven man reach out for me, I swat his hand away with my left bat. “Trust me. Back. Off.” I said. He laugh long and hard.
“You’re a wiry one chew toy. I like that, but now you got to die!” he brought both his arms down on my head, pain engulf me.
Great. Just great. I had piss off the Bill Bass, what the hell was my stupid bat head thinking. Kanna watch as Bill Bass smash his massive fist down on my skull. I am so dead I thought. Stupid shit! But then in an instant I move my left hand to the left and caught the giant’s hands at the last second.
“Well y-you got a g-good arms but lousy c-center.” I mock. My bat held Bass fists on just two bats. Who the hell was this guy?
Bill Bass is the second Bass brother of the most fear man in little village and this man had stop his ground breaker or so I would find out from Kanna,
I brace my arms. “Ok o-oven man time to go!” I yelled. Bass laugh again.
“Please! So you stop one attack, but you can’t stop this one.” I jump back and pull both arms back and scream. “PUSH OVER PUNCH!” he charger.
It was all over a ten seconds.
Bill Bass came at the stranger his hands becoming long dark black polls and push the force of a thousand men.
I slid to the left and leap at bass on his right. “F-FIRST B-BASE S-STRIKE!” both bats hit with a thundering CLACK!
Bill Bass flew back and smash threw the wall out into the dust and death of the waste lands.
I went to the hole and look down at the bloody, broken and without a doubt dead remains of Bill Bass.
Kanna came over and look down at the dead man, she turn and as the wind blew the red mess of hair to the right. She watch as I tied both of my bats glowing with a blue hue, too my back. She stood mouth open and scream. “WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!”
“I d-don’t k-now you never g-gave me an n-name.” and that’s is how I first met Comic little or as I called her Kanna.
Little Village one day and twenty three hours ago.
As we stare into the big hole in the wall, I and Kanna watch as the bird and mage dogs ate and chew on what remain of Bill Bass
. “So L I guess did you just use soul energy.” I nodded.
“Yean K-kanna I call it my b-bat attack energy. What do ya t-think Kanna? I said. I hid the look on my face, using my old worn cap to block it from view.
“Why did you call me Kanna?” I just stare at the dead bad man.
“D-don’t k-know I just like it better t-than C-comic.” I said. “Why y-you c-call me l” I ask.
“Don’t know I just like it better than idiot.” She said. As she look down at the remains of Bill Bass she said.
“Bill Bass was a very evil man, he is the second eldest brother of the bass clan. The father of the bass brothers is Big Bass Boss, a man who use the fire of heaven to kill people, and you just killed his kid. YOU IDIOT!” Kanna scream.
Oh shit!
“Sooooo t-this guy is b-bad n-news r-right? I ask patting down the head of Bill Bass.
” What the hell are you doing! That is the son of the most evil man in the land, and you killed him.” Kanna scream.
“Oh… I d-did. W-well c-can you s-show me a-around t-the v-village? I asked.
Kanna led me up the old road, she had spent a good half hour freaking out about how I killed that dog, but then she seem to calm down and agree to take me to town.
The sun and object were in great orbit today, they seem to be on a good glide today to not cause any freak storms or odd weather changes. I look over to my left and right, nothing but waste.
“Ah L you just killed a man! Don’t you fell anything about it?” Kanna ask.
I laugh long and hard. “No. I did not killed a man. I put down a d-dam d-dirty d-dog! That all!” I pull off my hat and scratch my head.
Man my ass that thing was not human. Kanna human, but that oven thing. Was not human. “So Kanna do you live around here or what?”
She bit her lip and pull at her long red hair. “Yean I live with my brothers. Or lived with them sense you just killed Big Bass Boss son I am dead, my whole village is dead! God you are such an idiot!” she scream and stump her feet. I started laughing. It was one of the funniest things I seen in almost ten years.
“Stop laughing!” she wine.
We reach the town center. The town of little is just as it says on the tin, little. Only four building maybe ten more people than houses all of that cover in sand and dust.
“So do you k-know a good place to get c-c-curry and info?” I ask she said nothing and led me to a biggest building in town. It was a three story Mansion that had all of it windows smash.
The nail on sign said little office. Nice.
“This is where my brother live they should know the way to the next town. And we got a great chef. Come on!” she sang.
I followed her inside the door less opening. As I enter I knew that I was in deep shit. They jump me on all sides, I drew my left bat and leap into the one of the left.
He was the oldest and tallest of the three.
They all had a good five feet on me. All male and angry. All seem ready to take my head off, all of them carrying big bass swords. All three of them smiling.
The oldest of them sword clang against my bat and brace it down on me. “W-what the h-hell man!” I scream.
The oldest bald one laugh. “Nothing person sir it’s for your own good!”
I jump back and pull my other bat, I slam them together and charge the eldest, the other two left my mind altogether. “DOUBLE HEADER SWINGER!”
My bats glow blue, I lean left and brought them up to strike, right than I saw Kanna hiding behind an old door on the ground.
She whisper “sorry L.”
Right than I got the joke, two big fist hit me from both sides and I fell into a cold and white dreamscape
2: CH.2 The Girl With The Sight and CurryLittle village one day and 18 houses ago.
The dream I have every night for the last ten years. Always the same cold, cold and blood. It always starts the same. Me at a child age, holding a bat that drip with blood. The dog James started to bark and it grew louder and louder. My teacher slump against a wall.
His hands held an old gun, the wall to my left and right, gone. Cold seep in. not just cold but snow and wind. I shook with every bone in my body as I watch the dog James bark and laugh at me. I scream at it and it just bark and bark. I reach for it with the bloody bat but it teeth held no fear of my bat.
It bit me and I scream.
Have you ever had fresh curry, it’s like heaven has bless the food with angles tears. The smell of it can bring any man back from death door. So when I awoke from my nightmare and smell the sweet smell of heaven. “You awake? L?”
A bowl clack against metal. I open my eyes to find myself in a five by ten cast iron cell. I lay on an old bed which smell of piss, sweat and blood. I look up at a celling that I did not know.
Shit! All I wanted was some fresh curry and some info.
I roll over and my world went up, down and every other way. Crap! My head felt like it had been split open by a sword. Oh wait.
I prop myself up and lean back against the bed. My eyes blurry and watering I wipe them and beheld an angel with a bat, my bat. “In-it’s not nice t-to t-take other p-people things.” I said. She lean down and push the plate under the bars, curry called my name!
“Sorry about the whole lock up thing and the hitting you thing it just well.” She stop “you’re in deep water L.” I use my arm and drag the curry to me. I pick up the wooded fork and force fed myself curry so good it is as if the gods made it them self’s. After I ate all of the curry I look over to Kanna, she sat now with her back to me.
“S-so how much w-water am I in?”
“Lot.” She answer.
“Kay so who the guy that wants to kill me?” she didn’t answer.
I knew that killing that dog would cause a lot of trouble but I just had to do it, a dog like that had a big bite. She stood up.
“He was the son of the town’s unofficial leader. Big bass. He found out that you kill his son now he wants your head or he will burn down our village.” She stop and took a breath. She pull out a small sketch pad out of her back pants, what happen next was weird and scary all at the same time.
Her eyes turn bright white and her hand started moving faster than I could followed, her whole body seem to be focus on drawing well whatever the hell she was sketching.
Then it was over, her eyes blink close and then she was fine.
She took a deep breath. “Kay what’d think?” she turn the pad around and show the sketch. It was me. Perfect. Almost like a photo.
I stood up and walk over to the cell doors. “So you have the sight.” She nodded. “And you are keeping me lock up in here hoping that Bass Boss will think I ran off. He won’t buy it. Not a dog like him.”
She flip the sketch pad close and stuff it in the back of her pants.
“Yes to the first and other well my brothers are still deciding.” She stop.
“Deciding what?”
“If they should hand you over or not. “She said.
As I pace the cell my mind slowly came back into focus. Ok first I had come to Little Village for some water, food and info. Right after arriving I attack and killed Bass Bill. Right after that I followed a girl who I just met to her home or base.
Then I got attack by her three bothers. Great todays going great!
Now I pace this cell waiting to be killed by an evil man named Big Bass, who is the father of Bill Bass. To which they are the local gang who control the village.
Well I can’t be killed here not now. I have way too many things to do. I bang on my cell door. Kanna and two of her brothers appear to the left of me. Kanna is the smaller of the two, her brother’s tower over her by at least four feet.
The one on the far left held one sword, his hair long and curly. He worn the remains of an old blue shirt and shorts. He had a strong body, weight arms and short legs.
The one of Kannas right had an ax slung over one shoulder. His eyes are white, piercing and angry. His clothes he worn only a pair of boots and a works man’s jumpsuit. The name tag said Book.
Kanna step forward. “These are my two of my brothers the one in the jumpsuit is Book, he the second oldest. The one holding a sword and looks like he wants to use it is Pen the twin of the eldest Word. He’s in the front watching for Big Bass. So L what the do you want?”
I grip the bars.
“You want to protect me from Big Bass right?” she look me in the eye.
“Yes. We do.”
“W-why?”
She seem to ponder this for a few seconds. Then she pull out her sketch pad and flip some pages over, she look down at the one she had chosen.
“this is why L.” she shown me the old yellow page.” I drew this a few minutes ago.” She said.
On the old worn page is me, holding both of my bats over what look like a cross between a man and a big lizard. The lizard man is human but his legs, arms and feet all had green and red scales all over him. I stood over him both of my bats cover in red blood. My jacket chew and burn. I stood on the lizard man body and look like the remains of this building.
“We first lock you up was for the village needs. But now.” She stop. “Can you beat him L? Is there any way you can stop Big Bass.” She look over at her other two brothers who had said nothing. She seem to want to say more but she just look at me.
I knew that the lizard man or Big Bass would be a very trouble animal to put down. But could I just leave these people like this. I had an idea.
I eye the other two and Kanna, than look around my cell at my four walls. “Kay s-so you believe that I can k-killed him b-but your brothers don’t r-right?” she said nothing. They eye me with very angry eyes. What was this family deal? Kanna wants me to kill Big Bass and the others want to what. I think it time to find out.
“Ok I c-can tell that no m-matter what I say you all well do w-want you w-want with me so. H-how about this? If I beat you t-two in a one on two f-fight. I get to decide my own f-faith. Kay?”
They said nothing. Then a voice spoke up from the left.
“Three on one Mr. L. if you beat me and my brothers I will let you do as you please.” The voice speaker appear. He was taller than all four of his sibling’s. In his hand held a sword as long as kanna and as sharp as the sun. His body a brick wall of pure strength and willpower. His face held nothing but a grin and pale eyes. He look just like his twin brother just a lot taller and more deadly. He also the one that knock me out.
Perfect.
“K-kay big guy lets go. Bats against steel.” They unlock the cell door. This day just keep getting better and better.
I hope you enjoy chapter two, so please review and stuff... see ya :)
3: The Pen is stronger than the Bat??Little Village one day and 15 hours ago.
The interior of the Manson look more beat up than the outside. Pieces of glass and old food, waste and wood litter the floor. We all stood in the opening of the Manson. I could see outside a small gathering taking place, news travel fast I guess.
“So you want to fight me and my brothers Mr. L?” ask Word. He lean against a table his brothers on both sides of him. It was as looking at some weird family photo. The wasteland look it might be called.
“Yes I do. Right h-here and r-right n-now.” I said. “All at o-once or o-one at a t-time either way f-fine. If I win the f-fight I get t-to decide m-my o-own f-fate.” I took a deep breath. When I get to rail up my mouth does what it wants. “But if you w-win. You can do what you please.” I finish.
Book the leader it seem, ponder while he size me up.” You shall face my brothers, if you beat them which in highly improbable you can face Me.” he said. “They can face you however you like.” With that he walk past me to the rooms on the right.
The other two stood where they were eyeing me, kay so how this going to go. The one called Pen spoke first.
“You will fight Pen first bat boy!” he scream. He pull his sword, not as big as Words but still it make most man shit there pants and run, most men. I motion to the door outside with my right hand.
“A-after you l-little P-pen.” I laugh. Pen took this in stride, laughing as he limp outside. He push open the door with force that show he may be dam strong. Great!
I look over at Kanna still over by the hallway with my cell. I went over to her and she took a couple of steps back. “Um c-can I have my h-hat and b-bats b-back?” she couch and smile.
“Yean sorry L I just well…” she started to stomp her feet and smash her hands together. After about two minutes of that, the whole time me laughing like a mad man, on the inside of course.
She stop.
“Dammit this is all my fault if I could only control my sight, this would not have happen!” she walled. Kanna pull my hat out of her torn weather and rip black jeans. “Here your hat. Let me go get your other bat.” She handed me my first bat. She ran past me to the left back to the cell hallway.
I pull yank my hat to get it back to the way I like it.
I put my bat Max back in it rightful place on my left. Kanna return than carry my right bat Fang. She also had a sketch pad in her other hand.
“I want you to have this too.” She said. As she handed me Fang, I took it and put it on my right. She gave me the picture of me she sketch of me in the cell. Scribed on the bottom said. L LONE CELL.
“W-why are y-you giving me t-this?” I ask.
“It’s you so you should keep it.” She look down at her feet, which she worn very clean white shoes. Odd. “Again I am sorry this is all my fault. I don’t think Pen will hurt you too bad I just hope they don’t kill you.” She stop. “And if there is the tiny chance you win, please don’t kill him. I know he’s an asshole but he’s my brother. Kay.” She said.
At first I said nothing than said. “d-don’t worry I t-try n-not to hurt him t-to bad.” Then I took the sketch, stuff it into my pocket and went out to face little Pen.
Little Village one day and 14 hours ago.
The town square or more like a circle. Filled up with people of all ages, they all seem to be waiting for the match to begin. Some of them yelled other mutter things like. “Are those bats he got?” Some said. “He crazy to fight Pen man.” Some very few said things like. “That poor man why he killed Bill Bass! We’re all going to die because of you!” most of them said nothing. Just watch and waited. All of them had on the same look, lost and defeated. They all worn the same clothes, falling apart rags that could use a good cleaning and burning at the same time.
Pen stood in the center of the circle, sword at the ready. A wild eye grin on his face. “Come on bat boy lets fight pen says lets fight.” Little Pen yelled. I took my stance, legs apart, feet brace against the ground. Using both of my hands I pull out Max and Fang. The made a slight GLANG when I unhook them. The youngest little brother move around like a man who would die if he stop.
I raise my bats to my keens and cranked my wrist, the bats began to glow with a blue hue. I had just drew my soul energy into the bats. I had to do that every time, if I am going to use it for more than I few minutes. If just for quick attacks or to shock and awe I can just call it out and strike. But for more powerful strikes well….
“K-kay so l-lets go little p-pen!” I yelled. Pen seem to take this as a sign to move. He pivoted his left foot and pull his sword and ran at me. I brace myself, leap to the right and attacked, I brought both of my bats down coming in at the middle. “D-DOULBLE HEADER S-STRIKE!” A blue hue hiss off Max and Fang as they came down, Max and Fang both of them angle to my left and right, I brought down at the same time to for a double impact. The came to together and CLANG of off little Pen sword.
I swirl back and lean into go for a first strike when I felt a slight burning feeling on my jacket. I glance with my right eye and saw a water type liquid coming off of Pens sword.
I jump back and made a cross with max and Fang, Pen eye me smiling from ear to ear. Taking a step back I knew that I had to try another way to fight him, what the hell was that stuff coming off his sword? Why did it burn?
Dam! I needed answer. I wonder….
“Hey L-Little Pen what’s up w-with your f-family names? H-huh?” he stop grinning and frown. Good like I thought not the smartest little around is he. “I-it weird h-huh? Naming a-all his sons and d-daughter after w-writing t-terms.” I pause, taking a step towards him.
Little Pen took at me than over to his sister Kanna and shook his head. “Pen has no weird name! You have broken speech Pen says!” he shouted at me. I let the comment of my speech roll off me. I been dealing with it for years now, it’s nothing new.
“C-come on it just something I got t-to k-know!” I said. I inch closer. Just had to get closer.” Y-you know like something e-every p-person got to k-know!”
Pen seem to take this as even dumber statement than the first, he let his sword fall to his left and stare at me with an odd look. “What do you mean? Pen says.” He said with a dry tone. “What other things does everybody need to know? Pen ask.” He finish.
“L-like where b-baby’s c-come f-from?” I said. Pen said nothing. Kay.
“l-like w-where we go when we d-die.” I said drying. Still Pen just eye me, his guard lowering with each word I spoke.” Or w-what the o-object in t-the s-sky has t-to d-do with the s-sun.” Pen just stare. In inch closer. “like h-how c-come I s-started t-to f-feel all warm and f-fuzzy when I saw r-red headed g-girls with long h-hair w-when I turn fifteen y-years alive.” I turn to Kanna she seem to be blushing as she pull at her long red bangs, or maybe it was the sun in my eyes.
Pen seem to be lost an island of thought, I took the chance and ran at him. I raise Max and struck. “F-FIRST B-BASE STRIKE!”
Pen brought his sword up at the last second. Sparks flew from my bat and how water spew off his sword. Got him!
I jump back dug my feet into the ground. Pen raise his sword slinging hot water as he did, he came at me and I raise my hand.
“W-WAIT!” I scream. He stop
“h-hey how about m-me and you m-made an f-father p-promise?” I ask. Pen look over at me than at Kanna. She gave him a nod.
“Little sis say yes. So does Pen say yes too? What be your father’s name?” he ask. A Fathers promise is to promise on your father’s name, which is a promise you cannot break. The promise I had in mind might prove to just save my ass in this fight.
“The p-promise I say is t-this Pen. We only u-use t-two attack f-for t-the rest of the b-battle!” I yelled so the growing crowd could hear me. “I a-already use t-two. M-my first is my d-double header s-strike. The o-other is my f-first b-base s-strike. W-what a-are yours Pen?”
He seem to think was a great idea, he started to jump around and laugh like a kid who just got its first bite of candy.
“Pen agrees to the father’s promise, Pen first move was grease slash and the other will be called….” He stop talking and just stare off. His eyes than blink close and open many times and he said. “Fully cook!” he declare.
Wait….
Wait. Just a minute.
No way. No way!!! Grease slash! And fully cook!
Cooking terms, and word names. Then it hit me, something that Kanna had said this morning. That they had a great chef. Ha, ha. A chef!
“You’re t-the c-chef! I scream. This seem to make Little Pen very, very angry. He started stomping around and yelling stuff that was not in any language I had ever heard.
“Yes Pen is chef!” he scream. “Pen is the chef and so is Pens brother Book! “Little Pen yelled. I turn my head and look over to where Book little stood. With his big guy way of walking and Pens odd animal like acting I thought these to be the village strong man. Boy was I wrong. Great! Just Great.
“I a-am f-fight some c-cooks for m-my right t-to l-live?” I said. Right than I lost I started to laugh like a mad man. Little Pen got even more mad the more I laughed.
I stop and took a deep breath.
Kay let do this.
“n-no disrespect L-little P-pen.” I said all calm like.” No b-bashes y-your s-stuff, y-you and your b-brother make an m-mean c-curry.”
Little Pen smile I guess like my input of his food, right than he charge.
I had gotten what I needed, I now knew what has attack was.
Soul energy.
He had what I had, he use his body life force to bring something that he love into being. Me it happen to be strong hitting power him. Cooking oil. Kay. I was ready for his charge. I said only two attacks so it would only be the oil sling or something called fully cook.
I let him get as close so he could attack, my feet itching to move out of the way. He came closer and closer, his chest heaving in, out. Taking big breath he raise his sword above his head, heat raided off it. He put his right foot forward and put all his weight on his left.
“OIL GREASE SLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!” the sword came down, right on Max. I brace myself as the oil sprung like a snake onto my bat. The hot grease slide down the tape grip and started to burn my right wrist. I gritted my teeth as it felt like thousands of tiny bugs chewing on my arm all at once. I’ve had pain, lots of pain but getting burn by cooking oil is a new one for me.
With my other hand I let lose the grip on Fang and let it dip some, ok here goes nothing. “y-you k-know w-what Little Pen?” he look right into my eyes with a look of pure victory. “My a-arm and w-wrist hurt like h-hell r-right now!” I bit back tears. How hot did he have this stuff? Just needed to wait a little bit longer, just keep him close.” b-but m-my l-lovely Max I-is just f-fine!” right than he looked up to his right and saw what I did.
I put almost all of my soul energy into Max, to protect her. He caught on to that and try to move his blade, but alas it would not move.
His sword and my Max had melted together, I said I would only use two attacks. I never said anything about guarding or tricks.
Little Pen grip with both hands he pull and pull but his blade would not be free of Max.” m-my turn Little P-pen!” I spat. With my burning arm I pull his sword up, with Fang I pull it close to my rib cage, pulled back and put my left foot forward and strike.
With Fang I use the tip and use all the soul energy I had and push, his sword broke apart off Max and flew back about ten feet.
His body twist and turn, felled onto itself and came to a rest a few feet from the gathering crowd. I did not cheer or yelled I won.
No I jump around, patted my arm to see if I could stop the burning. It helped some but not much. I look around over at Kanna she had her hand over her mouth, hold on what’s going on.
Right than I felt a burning all over my left shoulder. I turn at the last second to get the front of his FULLY COOK.
Pen sword had made its own blue hue engulfing him and his sword, and he just kick me right in the head. I fell to my keens and buried my head in my hands.
Oh god it hurts!!!! Shit! Shit!
“How do you like it Pen says!” he yelled.” You may have hurt Pen insides but Pen is smart he waited tell you think you had beaten Pen.” He kick me over and I felt another hot pain on the side of my head. GOD THIS SHIT HURTS!!” now Pen has you!” he lifted up his leg meaning to burn my skull from the inside out, he raise his foot.
Black work boot became my whole world, heat burn off it as the boot smash down, I raise both of my bats at the last second, forcing all of my willpower into them.
Ok this is not good, I had to do plan B. kay, I push up and Pen leap back. I roll over and using my bats got up on one keen.
Pens FULLY COOK attack made is whole body hot as hell, that’s what huh? Kay I just had to use that against him. I used my right keen and put weight on my back foot, raised Max and Fang. Sent all my power into them.
Kay I would only be able to hold out for maybe a minute. The blue hue became a fire and my bats took on a look of pure flame.
Fire vs fire!
The crowd of onlookers’ awe, scream and some just look away. Kanna eyed my flames, she knew what was about to happen.
“h-hey Li-little P-pen!” he had recover. His soul energy still engulf him. He saw my bats and had a look of what?? On his face. Perfect!” H-here c-comes my other a-attack!” I took off running.
Max, Fang raise above my head, I leap and throw both of and them one after the other.
“F-FIRST B-BASE STRIKE!” I strike right and then left.
Little Pen using his soul energy he blocked both strikes, his face twisted into a smile. “Is that it Pen laugh!” he did laugh. ”you lost Pen yelled.” He did yelled.
Then I did it again! Left and right. He block.
Again! Left and right! Block.
Left and right. Block!
Faster! Left and Right! Block!
Faster and faster, Little Pen kept blocking. But he had to use more soul energy like I did. But I just got faster while he got weaker!
Left, Right!
Left, right! He block.
Than I did it! Forcing all of my soul energy in Max and Fang threw, left and right. Faster and faster till they became blurs.
Than it finally happen.
“F-FIRST BASE S-STRKE B-BERSERKER!” my strike became flames hitting Pen again and again, he could not keep up. He try to back away but my strikes keep him still. He could no longer support his energy and it gave out.
I hit him just once, twice and more.
Then I stop. He fell to his keens, Little Pen face bloody and misshape. He utter. “Pen say you win!” and he fell down face first.
Then so did me, right on to my back.
Little Village one day and Nine Hours ago
I lost for maybe an hour or more. When I came too I still lay where I was, but Kanna had my head in her hands.
“Oh good you awake! You idiot! How could you use all of your power like that! That’s just stupid! You IDIOT!” she hugged me. I cry out and pain and she release. ”oh! Sorry!”
I look over at Pen. He was being helped up by his two brothers and some village people. “Is he dead?” I ask. Kanna gave me a strange look. I cough. “d-did y-you hear m-me I-is your b-brother ok?” I said again.
She slap me.
Ouch!!!
“Yean he’s fine. You fool! How are you?” I did some checks. Patted myself down. Tire and a little burned but no worse for wear.
“I t-think I’ll l-live. S-so who do I f-fight n-next?” she gave me a look like I had lost my mind. Kanna stop her feet and walked off curing my name under her breath. I stood up and look around, the crowd had thin some, but most are still here.
The show is still on huh. I behind me at the Manson, on the steps were the two brothers. Book had his ax pointed right at me.
“WE SHALL FIGHT NEXT!” He scream” YOU MAY HAVE BEATEN MY YOUNGER SWEET BROTHER IN WAR BUT YOU SHALL NOT BEAT ME!”
“K-kay! B-but do y-you have to y-yell e-everything!” I yelled back.
“YES!” He yelled.
The oldest brother look on from the fallen doors of the Manson. He regarding us as he might look at a stage show, with surprise and distain. “Mr. L and my dear brother Book will do battle in one hour forth.” He said. Then turn to walk away.
“W-wait!” I said. “Should w-we w-wait. B-big B-ass I-is coming r-right!” I spat out.
The eldest brother Word turn to me, UN did his sword and slam it down. The blade broke the ground, my blood ran cold.” Mr. L He is already here.” He said. Word raised his hand and pointed to the north.
I turn my head and saw a sight that I will never forget.
An army of over hundred men, waiting on the edge of town, with a type of throne being carry by large land animals in the middle. In the throne sat the Lizard man.
“w-why h-hast he a-attack y-yet?” I ask Word. The man turn around and stood in the broken doorway. His hair dirty and matter hanging over his face. The tater boots one on the top step, other still reaching steading himself. He seem to shake when he spoke.
“He is waiting Mr. L to see which one he gets to kill. You or me.” with that Word cross the threshold. Great just great.
here is my first big fight, i try to make them big and loud or quiet and a battle of wits.. i hope you all enjoy... please review and have fun see ya!!
4: CH.4 A Colorless World (Kannas Tale)Little Village one day and eight hours and fifty minutes ago.
I lean back against an old house trying to collect myself, how the hell can I beat two more Little brothers and the Lizard man army! How! I look up at the object in the sky. It floated there with the sun as the stated there decent into the night. I close my eyes and let my body try to relax, I only had an hour.
Who knows what kind of weird crap the Bookwork guy can do. I went over the fight in my head, I hadn’t really broken the fathers promise… did I.
No I just use the same move just in a different way, I only made the promise to see what his moves were. Dam! Ok maybe it was not my best move. If I had use my other two attacks I could have killed him and maybe brought down the whole town. At least he’s not dead, I had use too much energy on Bass son. I did mean to hurt him, but not kill him.
As I thought this I felt a slight tap on my shoulder, I jump which made Kanna fall down, almost spilling the cup of water she had and a box of something.
“Jerk! What the hell!” She stood up and dusted herself off. She worn the same black jeans but her hair is now tied up in a makeshift bow, her long red hair still reaching her shoulders. I also notices the shirt she worn had change. It now had a faded picture of some animal on it. But what I saw most of all the clothes she worn all had little too big for her and or falling apart. “What? What is it?” she asked.
“N-nothing.” I look away. ”s-so are y-you ok?”
“Yean! Idiot!” she scream.” Are you ok? Pen burn you really bad.” she reach for my worn out black jacket, I jump back. “What! I am just going to dress your wounds.” I got up and lean against the wall, fully protecting my fried backside.
“I r-really rather n-not.” I said. Kanna stop her foot and crossed her shoulders, and stuck her tongue out.
“FINE! You idiot!” she lean against the wall and look up at the sky.
The object, sun, clouds all move at once like the always had, perfect order. Kanna look up at the sky, her eyes pale and wide. She look as if the sky might fall down right now. On top of her and Little Village. I crank my neck to see more of the sky, pain echo down my back and sent tremors down to my arms. I
Cringe. Kanna turn her head to me frowning. She then walked right up to me, she raise a fist. Pointed with her index finger, right at my nose.
“Fine how about this, you let me dress your back and I won’t say anything about how you cheated on the bet.” She said. Great, just great.
“w-what? I didn’t c-cheat.” I said. Ok well I had cheated in the sense that I use a move in a different way, more like a loophole than cheating. I told her this and she just gave me a glare that hurt more than any of Little Pen attacks. ”kay! y-you can dress m-my d-dam back!” I scream
I turn my back to her and zip down my jacket, making little click sounds as it went. I pull it off the black jacket almost ripping as I did. The thing had seen a lot of stuff, Kanna took it and threw it down.
“I get you a new one ok L….. Well.” She wave her hand at my black shirt I worn. It two was burn up on the sides and had holes all over it. My hands lifted it up, I stop.
“kanna t-try not b-be shock o-ok.” I tore it off the shirt torn, and rip as it came off. She grasp, I waited for the questions that I did not want to answer, or worse the scream.
“What happen! “She ask. I said nothing.
She said nothing for what seem like for a long time, than she patted my shoulder. “Please sat down. “She whisper.
I sat down cross-legged. As she started to dap my back with what felt like cool water. She had said nothing about my back. I did not expect that.
My backside is cover in small burns, some fresh and old. Cuts, gashes and bites. But the one that I never wanted to show anybody is the scar. A big handprint that had been burn there almost fifteen years ago.
“Why did you break the fathers promise? She ask. I said nothing. Why did I break it? A father’s promise is a promise that you must see all the way, till the end. It is a pat made between two people on their father’s name. If the fathers promise is broken, death or dismemberment await the one who broke the promise. Why had I broken my promise?
“I don’t k-know? M-maybe b-because I d-don’t w-want t-to die h-here.” She grab some white tape and wrap it around my wrist.
“Why can’t you die here? I will, my brothers will and so will everyone else.” she said. I turn my head to see her. Tears leak out of her eyes.
“w-who d-died here K-kanna?”
She grab more tape and wipe her eyes on her arm, her hair hang over her eyes where I could only see the tears falling. “Do you want me to tell you a story L?” she ask.
She wrap more tape on my arm.
“K-kay only if y-you w-want t-too.” I said. She stop wrapping and walked around to the front of me, she handed me the box she brought.
She open the box which contain sweet fresh curry, she handed the box to me, and pull a pair of wooded sticks out of her pocket. “Here eat why I talk. Kay.” She smile.
She look up at the sky, “It all started on a day where the rain never stop. It rain for almost two months.” She stop. “Then they came.”
166 A.R.
It all started on a day where the rain never stop. It rain for almost two months, than they came. I was out in the field, I was only eight at the time. The rain had made all the old weather dirt grow small green weeds. I thought it was just so pretty, to have green in are bland colorless world. I and my brothers live with our parents.
My brothers plow the fields and hunted with my father. Why me and my mother made dinner and clean the house, we live all by are self’s. Are house use to stand where the little village town entrance now stands?
We were all happy.
My brothers and me played and fought just like all siblings do. It didn’t take long for us to notice that are family was different. My mother’s use hot grease right out of her own hands to cook things and clean wounds. My father could chop anything with such ease it scared me.
My father, Penmanship little was a small man. My brothers take their height or so I am told from a grandfather, Ink Little. My father being a small man was oddly good with knifes, he could throw them and hit a mark so far away that I could not see it, and he called it his soul power. He took my brothers hunting every day, rain, sun or hail. Hunting as he once told me was like trying to find a very small needle in a haystack. On the night I discover my sight he cry with tears of joy and sadness’s. He was so happy that I had inherited his grandfather’s power. My father a strong little man you would say, full of shit and piss as he said, shit and piss! But my mother well…..she a lady! My brothers and me always tease, she always worn the most pretty dresses, never pants she say. “Someone gave me these here legs and I am going to show em.” My mother, Marie Little formally Marie Sky. Taught me and my brothers how to cook and read, write and live. My father could not write to save his skin. My mother love him very much but she made sure our buts could write. My mom was just so…… sorry just that it hard to describe her beauty. My father said when he first saw her he thought an angle had come to save him. She had long red hair, curves that I kill for, and god her legs she had a right to show em, as my father would say. We love each other, hated each other and then love again.
That’s was us, just living. Than one day I change. I discover my sight.
On the day I discover my sight, it was raining. Some of the time when bad things happen in life they just happen but with me it always rain, I don’t know why it just does. I was just drawing with small pencils that my mom help make for me when it happened.
I started to feel dizzy and really sick. My hands started to move faster and faster. My vision got all blurry, distorted. My hands started hurt as they move over the old page more. I started to cry, I thought I was going to die, I fell over but my right had never stop moving. After a few minutes my mother found me and told my father.
He cry and so did mother, I thought I was going to die, or I did something wrong. But no he told me as he sat me down, I dry my tears on his dirty, ragged and dry blood shirt. And he told me all about soul power. “A soul power or energy is the will of human life. Honey” he spread he arms wide.” An about a hundred years ago something really bad happen, we almost ended ourselves. Than the object came. Right after all the humans could use some form of power. Most could only use some.” Using his left hand he made a tiny little circle.” Some could use more, like your mother and me. We can create things. To help us and protect are self’s. But some, can use so much that it can be very bad. Do you understand?” I said I did when I really did not, but I knew that this was really, really big adult stuff as I use to say.
“But yours Comic, is wonderful! You have the power to see the future.” Mother handed him the page I sketch.
On the page was my brothers and father carry a large land animal on their backs all smiling, it yes that did come true about a month later, if you were wondering.
“But. You cannot show anyone or they will use this against you. Ok Comic, do you understand?” he ask me. I look him in the eyes and said I did.
I really did not understand what was so bad about my power, all I did was sketch things but would happen. My father bringing home a good catch, my mother favorite dress ripping. Hell even one day I drew a small dog would come by our front door and bark Intel we fed it. About a year later the dog came and we fed the dog, and left it did.
Every single one of my sketch came true all of them. I never told anyone about this but…. To me they look as if when I sketch someone with my power, they all look sad. Like I had trapped them in a world of just white and black, when I sketch someone the same thing always happen. No matter what I did people, whoever they were just look sad. So very sad as if I had locked them away in a colorless world.
On the day they came, I was with my mother and father, they are in the house talking. My brothers had gone to the nearest town that would someday be called little village, looking to buy new things, like clothes and stuff... I was just out in the filed sketching the small pretty green weeds, when it happen. I sketch my mother and father’s death.
A few moments after I drew the picture they died.
I became good at sketching thanks to my father, he could not write at all but he could draw. My brothers never took to it, but me it was like a fish to water. Father said that I could draw life itself, my picture were so vivid that it look like I had drew life into them. When I sketch the death of my mother and father it was something I never forget. My father lay on the ground his arm missing, half his face burn away. Oh god my mother, I could only tell it was here from the shards and burnt pieces of her dress that cover the area of my father and green weeds, in the sketch was rain so much rain falling.
As I came out of my sketch state as I would soon call it, I saw what I made. I looked around me to see that it had started to sprinkle. I ran back to our little one room log cabin that my great grandfather Hancock Little had built with his sons, as I push open the door to show my father and mother what was to become of them, they met me first in the door way.
My father stood there holding a cutting knife, ax and a look of pure terror. Mother right behind him clenching her first closed.
“Git in the house!” my father scream. I ran past them and hid behind my mother long legs. My father gaze out the door. His eyes getting wider as he look.
“What’s wrong mother?” I ask. My mother look down at me for the last time I my life. She ruffed my short red hair only now just below my tiny earlobes. She bent down and kiss both my cheeks.
My small father turn away from the door and did the same, with tear in his eyes. He said just a few words to me. I still recalled them to this very day. “It’s not your fault little comic.” He whisper. “We knew this might happen sooner rather than later….. Go! Run! Find your brothers and don’t look back. We love you so very much tell the same to your brothers. We love you!” he hug me, than he and mother went out the door to face Big Bass Boss and his one hundred man army.
I did not do as father said. I went out the back door yes but I crept around the other side to look, father and mother were brave and strong. Nothing could stop than, or so I thought back then. I still held on to the sketch of them as I watch my father confront Big Bass Boss.
The army stood fifty feet back from the main four, Bass Boss and his three sons, one you know. Bill the youngest, stood on his father right. Looking just as tall and ugly as the day he died. The other two, twins. Allan and Dan as I would soon come to know them, evil two. They look the same dress in noting but underwear, white. Bleach sun skin. Holding nothing but sharp long claws for hands. Their teeth always smiling for in their mouth were long jagged black teeth. They had their arms up to their mouths gnawing on their own ski.
Big Bass Boss himself stood slump over to hide the fact there his height reach twelve feet. He worn a long black, blood stain cloak. To hide his face, puss and scales ridded body. But somehow I could hear him. He stood not four feet from my father when he spoke. “Helllllooooooo! Litttttllessssss!” he hiss. “Mighttyyyy fineeeeeeee dayyyyy huh.” He cough and spat out green stuff.
The rain blur my vision, made him look bigger than he did, maybe. My father voice was so small I could not hear what he said, I only caught words and phases’ like…… monster and maybe dandy or randy. I made no sense, then Big Bass Boss laugh a long laugh, hot air came out of his cloak.
Right than it happen, that monster murder them! He raise his red pus filled arm above his head and made a fist, his sons move. The twins, Allan and Dan leap and both of them ate my father’s arm in one go.
My father did not scream just look on, his eyes white and big. My mother did thou, Big Bass stop that instantly. He stood right behind her, threw back his black hood, I saw his eyes that all I can recall is his black, dead eyes. He drove both of his claw like hands into my mother’s neck, he bit down on her head and yelled… “WHITE FIRE BITE!” my mother became just white flames. My father yelled something at the four, that made all of them laugh, they laugh as he bleed out!
Than I was just running, running from them and my power. I had done this to them I thought, I trap them in an evil colorless world. I just kept running, somehow I just found my way to my brothers on the road. They ask me what happen, all I could say was that he ruined mother dress….. Somehow they understood. We never went back to our little home again. We stay in the small village for a few days before the Bass brothers show up and declare their father leader of this village, I wonder why? But my father always said that man would fight over a cup of water if it had some value…. He was right.
“My father always said that a man would fight over a cup of water if it had some value.” She took a long deep breath. “He was right. That idiot!” she said. I had my hat covering my eyes, I did not want her to see me weak.
My curry all gone and back dress. I stood up, grab my bats from the ground. I reach out a hand, Kanna took it and help herself up.
“h-how come your b-brothers are the village l-leaders n-now?” I ask. She just stare. I guess one tail is enough for now. “Well thank you f-for t-telling m-me that. Y-you d-did n-not have t-too. But t-thank y-you.” I turn to go. I stop and look at the charred remains of my black jacket and shirt, she laugh and wipe tears from her eyes.
“Don’t worry.” She burst out laughing again. “I will bring you something in the town circle.” She kept laughing. I did as well.
I guess it was funny to have no clothes left but a pair of old blue jeans. I thank her again and turn to walk to the circle, her voice stop me again.
“Why did you help me? L, and why do you hide your face now?” she ask.
I said nothing as I walked to the town circle to fight her two other brothers. She just watch me as I kept walking.
I stop. Took off my hat, dusted it off. She saw my face. Tears fell from my green eyes. “b-because you didn’t h-have t-to b-be nice t-to m-me. Some o-one l-like y-you, and your m-mother and f-father, b-brothers… t-this little v-village. D-deserve better.” I put my old worn blue cap back on. A walked back to the circle as rain began to fall. Tears are a sign of heart, my teacher once said. Not of weakness. I hope he was right.
my fav chapter so far, i hope you all enjoyed her tale... more to come. see ya!!
5: CH.5 Dismemberment, My Great Strike!Little Village one day and Seven hours.
The crowd had gotten bigger in my absence, the whole village is here now. In the center of the circle stood the second eldest little brother Book little, he look upon me with large angry eyes.
Great just great. As I stood there in nothing but well a pair of worn out jeans I waited for the next stone to drop, when Kanna appear holding that shirt, I got smashed.
It was blue….. Light blue.
“w-what’s t-that’s?” I ask her.
She held in her hands a light blue shirt, it is well cleaned and not all torn up. But it’s blue! I don’t wear blue, I am more of a black shirt guy. It was just odd seeing myself in that color. Also how is that shirt so clean?
“Um, K-kanna how t-that s-so clean?” I ask. She look down at the shirt, than back at me. She just toss me the shirt, stomp her feet. “Idiot! Idiot, What an IDIOT!” she scream and storm off. I think she may have said idiot, maybe.
The light blue shirt, I put it on, if fit great! Also it was clean and smell nice, it was not my thing but nice to wear something that’s not cover in blood.
I look over at Book, he stood head down with a big battle ax in his left hand. His clothes have change as well. He know worn a blood red apron, black gloves and on his head is a pair of goggles. He pull them over his eyes, drop his ax. And let his hands drop to his sides.
“L! YOU HAVE BROKEN A CREED THAT IS HOLY IN OUR LAND!” he shouted. Wait did they know, did Kanna tell them.
No. they knew…… shit! I had to play this cool and calm.
“S-so you sill a y-yeller I see.” I said. Book hands still hung at his sides, right then his wriest did a flicking motion. Five blades, which glean with an uncanny sharpness, now hung from his wrist. He raise his left hand, the blades now one between each finger. He pull back his hand as if he were some pitcher about to throw out me a batter, I undid my bats, and crank my hands, but right then I was not holding anything.
“w-what??” I said. I look down where my bats lay, what the hell? I started to feel a slight pain in my left wrist, wait. I rise my wrist and move it to shield the sun from my eyes.
One, two three.
One two three.
One! Two! Three!
I scream, I drop to my keens as the pain seep in, I look over at bat Fang, and my two finger lay on the ground cut off from my body!
“What t-the h-hell! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” I scream.
“L YOU HAVE BROKEN THE FATHERS PROMISE! YOU HAVE NOW BEEN SERVE A SMALL REWARD FOR BREAKING ARE CREED! YOU HAVE BEEN DISMEMBER!” Book said. He look away from what he had done to me.
I got to think, what do I do? Can I still fight? Maybe…. But the blood loss. I look at my hand, blood ran out of the two stomps like a fountain. GOD DAMMIT! The pain!
I had to ask fast! With my now only good hand. I grab ay Kannas clean light blue shirt she lent me and rip out a chunk of it. I wrap it around my left hand as best as I could. Dammit this hurts! I try to stand, but my legs felt numb.
Crap, crap, carp, CRAP!!
I reach out for my right bat Max, grab it. And using the bats as a way to support me I was able to stand up. I raise Max above my head. Craig my right wrist, and look over at Kanna.
She had her face buried in her hands, her long red hair hang down over her as if she had cry blood. Using my willed and way too much soul energy. I walk to her, my feet would not move faster than an inching slowly. I just kept waking. My hand had gone numb, my feet felt like they were underwater and I kept trying to run but I could not do it.
She still had her face cover in her red hair, I made it to her. I reach out with my bad hand, blood making the once light blue shirt now blood red. Using my bad hand I touch her cheek. When I spoke my voice all dry and quiet. “K-kanna… I, I-im s-sorry about y-your shirt.” She look up and took my hand. She try to say something but I didn’t hear it, all I kept hearing is a very loud and clear thought. It yelled over and over again in my head.
Fight Book Little.
She let go of my head and seem to want to say something but I told her no. I turn around and pointed with my right bat Max, Book little still stood where he had. He knife stuck out of the wall with a light blood stain. So that’s how he did it, boy is he fast. My mind swim with the story that Kanna had told me of her father and mother, her father had the same power I think. I raise bay Max above my head again, put all of my soul energy into a dash for Fang. Book got what I am doing and he flick his wrist, I turn into a roll and grab Fang, with my arm. I lay there, my mind drifting away back into the snow.
No! I got to stay awake! Using Max again I made my way onto my feet somehow. I try to grip Fang with my left hand, but I could not get my hand to work. DAM!
“ARE YOU READY? YOU WILL NOW FIGHT ME THE SECOUND BROTHER OF THE LITTLE FAMILY, BOOK LITTLE!” he raise both of his fist.
“You can’t do this book!” Kannas scream. But he did not hear her or care to. Using my only good hand. I crank it.
“l-lets go you l-loud m-mouth bookworm!” he flick his wrist and I jump right into a world of silver pain. He use his soul energy to always hit his target, just like his father, Penmanship little. In a sense I am fighting their father.
“PERFECT AIM KNIFE!” He scream. I move to the left but, hit! I look down at my leg. A five foot knife stuck out of it.
DAM IT THIS GUY IS PISSING ME OFF!!!!! Ahhhhhhh! The pain! I got to end this fast! I pull the knife out, a long stream of blood pump on to the ground. I grip Max as hard as I could and ran at him. I am going to have one shot at this! I leap twisting my body, I brought my bat down on his head.
“FIRST B-BASE S-STRIKE!” It struck!
But I got push back, my feet sliding as I hit the wall. My hand numb, and hurting. My left leg felt like it is weight down by an ocean of water.
I did a double take down at Max, the bat had a kitchen knife sticking out of it. He had block it! Dammit!!
How do I hit this Bookworm, my vison blur. I don’t have much time left. I felt a coldness coming over me, I didn’t know if it was from the wounds or just me losing myself to fatigue. I had to do something, ok I only have one change, the grand slam!
With my good hand I pull at the knife, it would not come out! A few feet away, Book was stepping towards me. Oh god he going in for the kill! Ok, come on! DAM IT COME OUT!!!
I pull and fell back, the knife held in my good hand. I toss it away, brace my feet. Ok I only have one chance.
“BOOKWORM L-LITTLE I-IF YOU DO N-NOT W-WANT T-TO DIE! C-CONDICE NOW!”I scream. Book little took this as a joke, he laughing like a mad man. He charge.
I raise Max hug my good arm to my shoulder. Ok I have only done this one time. With Max hug to my chest, I pivoted my leg that is not messed up, ran at him.
I gritted my teeth against the pain, Book little threw both his hands, blades of all shapes and sizes came at me. I planted my working leg and jump, the blades flew pass me, some making small cuts and some barley missing me. I raise my arm, Max gleaming in the sun. The brought the bat above my head and scream.
“GRAND S-SLAME S=STRIKE!” I willed all of my soul energy into that one strike. I brought my arm down, Book little look up at me with an expression of disbelief and terror. Max glowed a fire blue, using my whole body I drove my attack down, he try to block with some of his blades but my strike blew pass them. I am screaming bloody murder as I bring it down.
The blue hue has become a fire now, Book has fell down with his knifes covering his face. I bring it down right on top of him.
He scream as the bat stops inches from his head, I am standing over him with tears, sweat cover my eyes. The bat hue has now become a blue flame. I bend down close to Books face.
“DO Y-YOU GIVE U-UP?” I ask him.
He nods.
I drop my bat and just lay there, grasping. Ok, kay please no more for a few seconds. I raise my head, looking up at the clouded sky, the sun kept drifting between the clouds. I just look up at the rain falling out of the sun.
“YOU FIGHT WELL! L!” yelled Book.
I said nothing.
“I AM SORRY ABOUT YOUR HAND! IT WAS NOT MY CHOICE, BROTHER WORD SAID TO DO IT!” He said.
I said nothing, I wanted to finish.
“WILL YOU FIGHT ON OR EXCEPT YOUR FAITH? “He ask. I said nothing, because that is my answer. Using my good hand I found a way to my feet, I reach out my hand. Book little took it and I help him up. He regarded me with eyes that no longer held angry just sadness.
“DO NOT FIGHT WORD! HE WILL KILL YOU!” he said. Look over at the mansion, Word little still stood there, his god sword resting on his shoulder. On him he worn a long black suit. A hat over his eyes, white gloves wrap around his hands.
His face show nothing and again show everything, all I once I knew that I was in way over my head. Word little step down from the mansion. He pull his sword, pointing it towards me.
“Mr. L we do battle….. Now!” he charge at me, with everything I had left, I raise my bat and came at the man in black.
Here is Chapter 5 i hope you all enjoy, please review and have fun!! SEE YA!
6: CH. 6 A Promise, Deep Breath And Close EyesLittle village one day and four hours ago.
It all happen so fast, one minute I felt a fire in me that could not be stop. My hand bled, my legs felt weak but still I ran on, Word did the same, I had no come backs or funny name to call him. This would not distract him, no he meant to kill me.
For upon high sat Big Bass Boss, if he did not kill me, as I understood Bass would slaughter the whole village. So I only had one way to win…. To kill Word little!
The minute ended, I lay on my back while snow fell on me. I had no chance, not a chance in hell to beat this guy. For one minute he had his god sword raise above his head, than I was down. I lay on the ground with a slash across my chest.
Pain no long hurt me, I could feel no more pain, just cold. I kept going in and out of the dreamscape. I saw Word standing over me with the god sword raised above his head, he meant to kill me. But I also saw James standing there as well. They seem to merge into one being. Things kept going dark, time seem to stop having meaning or rhyme. I reach out with my slice up hand, the James/Word thing half a man cover in black, the other half part a dog with teeth and slime coming out of it mouth, put the god sword to my throat.
This is how I die…….
“Mr. L I am sorry that I had to come to this, you wanted to choose your own faith! Now good sir you haven chosen!” Word scream. I saw his blade moving many times, than I got it.
Quake powers. It a soul energy skill only use after finding and obtaining one of the god objects, I was not just calling his big dam sword a god sword for fun. It really is what we could a god weapon. Something we humans should not have found, it could take your own power and channel it into the weapon and make your power stronger, faster and deadlier. Word power is a quake power, the ability to move matter around you into a chaos like fashion.
Basically you could cause people to fall or up to whole towns or building, but with the god sword he could throw it or aim the quake power into the attacks, he also seem to have an certain amount of control over it.
That’s why when he slash me I am only cut, he wanted me to be a special, a show for big Bass boss. His sword quake down as it came, shaking with such power, the wind blew with such force that I could not hear the people screaming, neither could Word.
The sword came down with such force, I brace myself for the cold…. Than the god sword as it came down I saw that it move to the left just an inch. The quake slash came down, just missing my head by a quarter inch.
I open one eye, my body cold all over, tired and sleepy. Word put both hands down on his sword and lean close to me, so only I could hear.
“He will come! Be ready good sir!” Word said.
Just than a shirr scream rang out, Word turn his head to the left, and right. On his face pure terror showed. Big Bass Boss is here.
I turn my head towards his army. The big guy throne now empty, where the hell is he? I turn back towards Word, only to see a big cloaked figure holding Word by the throat.
The cloak man held Word up as high as his long burnt arms could reach, it was as if he is trying to send him to heaven as a gift. I knew who this is but my mind could not understand why I was so scare, Big Bass Boss with his other hand blew blue flame out into the circle.
“Yoooouuu lieingggggggg shitttttttt!” he below. He cough out blue fire on the ground.” Why do you try to save a dead man Word?! We had a deal, you or your brothers kill him and I let this village live for another year! Howwwww harddd is thattttt!” he screcch. Big Bass Boss reach back and threw Word across the circle, he smash against the masion. He did not move, I did not know if he still lived.
Bass reach both of his hands towards the sky, fingers clech into fist, this whole time his body remain hidden by the long black cloak.
“HEAVENS FIRE!”He scream, white flame shot out from both of his hands, they flame tower over him and the town.
He is going to kill us all, I reach for Max but my finger could barly move, dammit! Come on move your hand you dumd ass! Just than three shapes move pass me and ran at Big Bass Boss.
The three little brothers all bloody, bruise and beaten stood before the towering monster, ready to fight it to the death. No! They can’t do this, he will kill them!
They all drew there weapons, poise to attack. I only had one chance to stop them, using my good hand I grip Max and somehow bring myself to my feet, I pull the bat to my chest, almost losing myself to the dreamscape again, the brother nor Bass saw me stand. I pivoted my left foot the other cut open and bleeding out. My chest heave up and down, blood soaking the blue out of Khanna’s shirt she lent me.
Sorry Kanna, I crank my good hand, gave all the power into this one strike.
I came at him, screaming bloody murder, I wanted him to see my coming, I leap bring Max down at an angle. The brother all looking up at me with fear in their eyes,
“Don’t Mr.” gag Word.
“STOP YOU IDOT!” Screamed Book. Pen just look on too shock to say anything he just made a small sound like a scare little dog, I only scream louder, I had lost all sense of self protection I just wanted to hit this son of bitch!
With all my will force into that one bat, I scream “FIRST B-BASE S-STRIKE!” A brought down my last attack, right on to a wall of blue flames, his tower of fire now had become some sort of barrel around his arms making a shield. Bass just gave me a little push and I fell at his feet.
“Dumb shitttttttt! You thinkkkkkkk! You can hurt me!” Big Bass Boss hiss.” My heavens fire protects me with holy invention!” he gave me a good kick, I started to lose myself, I had to find a way to get up. But how could I hit him? Bass took my bleeding wound as a good sigh. I tighten my grip on max more, fighting and clawing to stay here, not to be taken.
Bass grab me by my head, hoisted me up to his hood,” you killed my sonnnnnnn!” he spat. Dragging out the last letter like a snake.” You die nowwwwwww!!!” he rage. He threw me up into the air about to let go when I said one word…..
“W-weakling.” I cough out with blood and god knows what else, maybe some curry as well. Bass stop and put me at eye level with his face. Bass’s eyes’ like little lanterns in the darkness of his hood. Big bass Boss held me at his face, his hand tighten grip on my head.
“Whattt didddd you sayyyyy!” he bellow.
“y-you, your s-son w-weak.” I said.
I had to keep him talking, if this is going to work, I have to make him angry, very angry. Great just great!
Bass grip my throat tighter, his breathing became faster and shorter. His eyes took on some dead eyed rage, kay one more little push and then I will try it. I raise my bad hand and pointed right towards his face. “y-your s-so weak you have to u-use o-others to fight! W-why don’t w-we fight with h-honor.” This is my last shot, if he does not take the bait. I am dead and so is everyone else.
Big Bass Boss seem to consider what I had said, he let me drop. I landed with a thud, my body stop feeling pain a while ago. I hardly had anything left in me. I kept going in and out of the world. Sometimes I thought for sure I am going to die other times I thought I am already dead.
My mind getting cloudy, body feeling colder by the second I had to talk now or this would all be for nothing.
“G-give m-me a D-day….. J-just one D-day... w-we will fight than…” I started to blink out. NO DAMMIT JUST STAY AWAKE!!!!! I spat out blood, it roll down my chest. The wound there seem just bleed and leak, never stopping like a waterfall of blood.” An f-fathers p-promise! We w-will fight f-for the village, for h-honor…” I stop my mouth dry, I turn my head. I saw the little’s, Word shaking his head, cursing my name. Pen and Book looking on with a look of terror on their face, and Kanna oh god Kanna she fell on her keens. Crying her eyes out her kept yelling over and over again idiot, idiot, and idiot! I look up at the clouds, the sky dark and crying.
Object and the sitting sun falling away out of the sky. Big Bass Boss step into my view, I could not see his face just his dark eyes, and he blink and spoke.
“You will fight me for this village.” He laugh.” For honor, for the little’s, for the village. You will fight my army and meeee!” I said nothing. “Fine. I accept your promise. We shall fight in twenty four hours at this time, at the place you’re killed my sonnnnnnn….. But sense I need a little.” He pause. “Honor I will take some for your so we can both fight on balance groundddddd.” He growl.
I did not feel it happen but a part of me knew what he did, faded out as Bass step over me and grab Words god sword, I did not hear the cut or feel it, but what I did hear is Kanna cry’s as Big Bass Boss drag the god sword out and ate my already damage hand.
I started to fade out, into a snow filled word, the last thing I saw was Kanna screaming my name and calling me an idiot over and over again as she cry over my bleeding and batter body.
I am not in the snow, but on a very cold ground, I say up. My bats gone, the blue shirt that Kanna lent me. Gone. I am so cold, I look down at my hands. Either still intact, I must be dreaming or I am dead. I look up nothing is around me. I look down, I am now standing.
My feet are bare, I am standing on what looks like a white blank page, and I am standing in a note page. I hear the scribe of a sketcher, I turn to see Kanna drawing on the ground. I walk over to her, my feet making small sand paper noise as I come near her.
“h-hey why a-are you here?” I ask, she turn. Her hair now untied, fell all around her as if she worn a long red scarf. She wrote in big black letter on the ground, DON’T KNOW.
“w-what do you m-mean?” I ask.
ASK ANOTHER. She wrote.
“Can you t-talk?”
NO.
“W-Why not?” I ask. She said nothing, Kanna stood up and walk to the right. I made me way after her. No matter how fast I ran I could never catch up, she stop walking. We seem like we had not gone anywhere, the same white is all around us. She stop and started to sketch on the walls around her, she seem to control the area. It is wonderful, and scary. She move faster and faster. I wanted to ask her more questions but I said nothing. I just watch her work.
I walk in a circle what could have been hours or minutes, time meant nothing in a dream. The stop, Kanna ran over and tug at my sleeve. I went with her over to the walls of art. On them is all the same image. Of me.
My right hand is gone, I hold just one bat, and the other is on to be seen. She waves her arms around me. the picture is of me, wearing the same black jacket I worn today, my hat missing I am looking up at the sky with a look of wonder, what does she what me to see in this.
She garb my fright hand and move it to the missing limb of picture me, she handed me the drawing tool. He made scribble movements with her hand, she wanted me to finish the picture?
What so I was going to draw my own hand, no wait? She drew four of me, why four?
On the first I drew my hand, Kanna got really mad at that, she took the drawer out of my hand and scratch thru it, kay wrong.
On the next one I drew my hand with a bat, again wrong.
On the third just for fun I drew a claw, she hit me that time.
Kay so only one more chance, she is trying to help me but how? Wait, if not the bat or my hand, do I not have on at all? Wait maybe I need help? Can I not beat Big Bass Boss on my own?
I drew a question mark on my picture self. She jump up and down and smile. She drew a big YES!
Ok so I need to ask for help?
I was about to ask for help when she vanish. I not stood alone, I look around but now all around me is nothing. Just darkness.
I look up, I knew who this darkness is.
Big Bass Boss, he look down upon me. He wanted to kill me, I wanted to kill him. I raise my empty hand. But now it held a bat. I turn my waist, griping my bat with both hands, I leap at the evil red eyes. Then I scream when I awoke.
I am wrap up in white tape from head to toe, my whole body huts. I look around, the little’s all stood around me. Kannas eyes are red from crying.
“Welcome back Mr. L” said Word.” We thought you died for a moment. But you pull thru. Good man!” he smile.
“Pen say you live. Good L! Pen says” pen said. He lean close to me, a little two close. Book just started to cry like a waterfall and started too yelled.
“YOU SHALL LIVE L! YOU WILL LIVE!” he scream.
I look up at Kanna, she lean in and hug me. She kept saying over and over again. Idiot. Yep that’s me an idiot. After she let go, she look down at her clean white shoes, weird.
Using my only hand I sit up.
“So w-who wants to f-fight with me?” I ask. They all look at me like I had lost my mind.
Word stood to the side, I am back in my cell, and my cot had become my operation table. I saw that Kanna hands had been the one to help save me.
Word spoke.” We will not fight Mr. L. no you will run. We will help you out of town and we well deal with Mr. Bass like we always do.” He turn.
“NO!” I scream. He turn back to me. I took a deep breath.” I WILL HELP YOU!” I scream. Kanna look scare and yet hopeful. I try to stand but I could not. So I spoke on. ”h-how long till the b-battle?” I ask.
“About ten hours.” Said Kanna. I grab her hand.
“Help me u-up. P-please!” she look away but she gave me her will. Using Kannas help I stood. My legs hurt and so did my arms. I look down at my wrist, ask for help. Kay.
“You k-know w-when I take a d-deep breath…. I can t-talk w-without a b-broken m-moth.” I said, the little’s just look at me. I close my eyes and took a breath. I let the last days events wash over me, how I met Kanna. The little’s, the fights and what happen to my hand. I open my eyes and release my breath and scream. “I WILL HELP YOU KANNA AND THE LITTLES VILLAGE! I HAVE CHOSEN MY PATH! WE WILL DEFATE BIG BASS BOSS!” I almost fell if not for Kanna I would have pass out again.
Word size me up, the other little’s speechless. He walk to me and took my wrist. He examine it and then let it fall.
“Fine Mr. L we shall fight Mr. Bass in ten hours. Till then I shall train you.” He stop and pointed at Pen and Book. “You two shall make him a hand. Understand!” he said. They both nodded. He turn too walked out, using his left hand he made a followed me move with her hand. I look at Kanna a smile cross her lips.
She said nothing, as we both followed Word outside.
Wait! Did he say make me a hand……? What the hell??
