Moo's Revenge part 2
Hey, y'all. New chapter. LOVE ME!!!!...And comment, please.
Suezo
'HA-CHOOOO!!!!!'
That was a helluva sneeze. Gah! Somethin' was up. I just knew somethin' was up. Somethin' big as hell was about to happen. Either that or I caught the cold from hell from that avalanche. But something' was definitely coming! I friggin' knew it! And I'm always right, dammit!
"Hey, Suezo," Hare called out to me, "You alright? Catching a cold or something?"
"I'll have you know that my health is unquestionably the absolute definition of..." ...I was cut short by a sneeze...What's it to ya?
Anyway, yours truly was on scout patrol. I was ready for anything! Nothin' was gonna come our way! The first one I saw was gonna get a big ol' Eye Beam that...
"GANGWAAAAY!!!!!!!!!"
(SMASH)
Unless...of course...Genki was bein' a shithead again. I can't really blame him. He's really just a kid. A stupid kid, but still a kid. He came from a world that wasn't in the strife we're in. He came from such a happy world. Such a peaceful one. I almost envy him sometimes.
Ah, whatever. He came from there, now he's here. We're here, he's here, we're all here so we just hafta deal with it! And right now, we hafta deal with Durahan! That guy's such a scumbag! Stabbing Moo right in the back! We hated Moo, alright, but that's because we're the good guys! It's our job to hate the bad guy! But Durahan was just a backstabbing shithead pile of trash!
Ah, it doesn't make sense to call him a shithead. No one could have been any more careful, thorough, and...uh...thorough. Sigh. And I called Genki an idiot. But still...If we find Moo's body, I'll bury it and honor it myself. Moo was a bad guy but at least he had a sense of honor! He was the goodest bad guy we've faced!.......Goodest is a word, goddammit, don't question me!
So, anyway, everyone's packing and getting ready to go. Being on recon is boring but at least I don't have to help pack! Oh...if only recon could have stayed boring. If fucking only. But...it didn't.
Tiger
Suezo's screaming usually doesn't really phase the group. We're so used to it because he practically screams whenever he opens his mouth. But this time, it was different. We didn't know what it was but something was definitely different about it. Everyone ran over to Suezo to see what happened. His usual shade of yellow had been replaced by almost pure white.
"Suezo, what is it!?!" Hare demanded of Suezo, "What the hell could make you scream like that!?!"
At this point, Suezo's pupil was the size of Genki's fist. That meant that his view is currently in full zoom. This is a good sign that none of us could even begin to see what he can. Suezo finally began talking, just stuttering at first. His pupil regained its normal size and his stuttering stopped. His next words had a profound effect on us all that would last forever.
"IT'S HIM!!!! HE'S COMING!!!! HE'S COMING HERE, RIGHT NOW!!!!" he screamed as loud as he can, hopping in circles.
"Who's coming!?!" Hare yelled, "Whoever it is, tell me it's someone on our side! For the love of God, Suezo, tell me its on our side!"
"You fucking wish!" Suezo yelled back, "It's Moo! Moo's alive and he's coming here right this second!...And Naga's making rude gestures!"
Every single hair on me bristled with fury. I didn't give a shit if he was dead or alive, I insisted that I would never ever forgive Moo. Not for anything he'd ever done. I was glad he was alive and that he was on his way here. Then I could rip his throat out with my own fangs. But...I had to wonder why would Moo seek us out. He had no troops, no backup, and really no hope. I thought to myself...what the hell is your game, Moo? What the hell is your game?
Genki
Moo had finally decided to just come straight out and seek us out. We were anxious to find out what the hell he was up to. After what seemed like hours of tension, Moo came into the clearing where we camped out. Captain Weed stood by his side. Joker, Naga, and Gally walked up behind them. Then came the hardcore shock. Lilim came out and sat on Moo's shoulder. Everyone was shocked to see Lilim. We all thought Lilim was as much of a traitor as Durahan was.
There was a long silence. No one said a word. Mochi was afraid to. Suezo, Tiger, and Hare just glared at the Baddies with rage in their eyes. Holly had what seemed to be a worried look. And me?...I just wanted know what the hell was going on. Really, I couldn't blame any of us for any of the looks we had. Obviously, I couldn't tell what the facial expressions of Moo and Gally were. Naga had a kind of sneer on his face. Lilim had a frown but it had a shadow of sadness. I couldn't explain it but I didn't necessarily care.
Well there we all stood, waiting for something to happen. And so it goes...
Moo
I felt it time to stop torturing my so-called foes and let the silence end. I took a breath and flat out said, "I require your services." I'd swear I saw the eyeball die inside. And not by a little. I had to struggle to keep myself from laughing out loud at their reactions. I heard Captain Weed snort next to me. Even the melancholy Lilim cracked a smile. Gally, Naga, and Joker were too angry about this whole arrangement to be amused. They had no idea what they were missing out on.
After a few minutes of silence, the daughter of my host stepped forward. "W...Why are you doing this to us?" Needless to say, this confused me and my allies.
"What the hell are you talking about!?!" Captain Weed yelled, breaking the silence, "We come to you in our most desperate hour with no allies, no armies, and no hope; we ask you for your help in our darkest moment and you treat it like a joke!?!" Captain Weed hocked and spat right in front of Holly's feet, "Master, this was a horrible idea!" he proclaimed to me, "They'll never agree and they'll never listen! They may be the goodies but they know nothing of honor!"
"HONOR!?!?!?!" I turned to see the Tiger had lunged forward and barked viciously, causing Captain Weed to jump back and shriek, "WE KNOW NOTHING OF HONOR!?!?!?! WHO ARE YOU TO TALK ABOUT FUCKING HONOR!?!?!?!?! YOU, WHO TURNED MY OWN FUCKING BROTHER AGAINST ME!!!!! YOU BASTARDS, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW!!!!!!!"
"A lot more than you!" It was Naga who came forward this time, "We treat each other like brothersssss! And your brother wasssss our brother! He wassss my best friend! We were the clossssesssst of the Big Bad Four! We treated our troopsssss like family, we treat each other like family, we were the iconsssss of honor!"
"The fuck you are!" Tiger snapped back, "If you're such honor-bound hotshots, then why the fuck are you asking us for help!?!"
I winced. I looked to Naga and saw him look down and back off, defeated. That just flat out pissed me off. I whirled around to look at Tiger of the Wind. However, before I could tear him a new ass, the voice of reason spoke up.
"Back off, Tiger," said the voice, calmly. I didn't know whether to be shocked, horrified, or pleased. The voice belonged to the one, the only, the clear-eyed.
Everyone on the boy's side whirled around and stared at him, their mouths wide open. If I had a mouth, mine would also be wide open. Gally's head was slightly tilted down and his eyes would definitely be the size of saucers if he could move them. Lilim almost fell off my shoulder.
Genki stepped forward, a certain...undefineable look in his eyes, "This won't last," he said after a minute of silence, "We help you since you were betrayed...after that...business as usual. You get your armies...and we're back to hunting you in the name of Langea."
I would have sneered, "Hunting me in the name of a land you're not from. An interesting concept...very well." I stuck out my hand. The roamers winced, expecting me to fire something from my hand. I suppressed a chuckle. Genki, however, didn't move a muscle. He reached forward with his hand, miniscule in comparison, and we shook. I had the urge to crush his hand, him being my enemy and all...but I have my honor...and his hand was returned to him intact. It felt odd; the limb of my greatest enemy was in the palm of my hand...it felt so strange to let it go undamaged.
"Do you have any plans?" Genki asked me. He seemed to be used to this plan already. It was as though this was the most normal thing in the world. I was awed but the moment passed quickly.
I took a slight moment to thing, "What allies do you have?" I was amazed at who answered next and how quickly and casually he responded.
"The pirate dragons," Hare said, stepping forward, "They're decent support and can provide arial cover."
Everyone turned and stared at Hare in absolute awe.
"What?" He looked at everyone as if we were all idiots, "Well we've already accepted the truce, we might as well just get used to this."
"Feh," Tiger huffed, "You would be the first to turn, wouldn't you."
"What was that, mongrel!?!" Hare yelled defiantly at his canine companion. This normally would have escalated into a brawl but Genki shocked everyone with a slap. Tonight was just filled to the brim with surprises.
"For crap's sake," Genki yelled out, "You think this is the time for your immature, pathetic squabbles!?!" Tiger just stared at him, jaw agape. Tiger may have been more surprised than anyone else in my team, "I accepted this truce first! You wanna pick a fight with someone, you take it up with me! Now shut the fuck up and accept it, Tiger!"
There was a very long silence. Golem, Mocchi, Holly, and Hare were shocked. Suezo's jaw had slammed directly into the ground and his eye was wide open. Captain Weed bit his lip. He must have been thankful that he didn't have eyes out of fear of showing signs of weakness. Lilim was unable to look. The deterioration of trust and patience on the side of the "good guys" must have been a reminder of her relationship with Durahan. Gally and Joker also averted their gazes. I'm certain they both would have been grinning if they had the capability to do so. Naga just stood there, arms crossed with a blank stare on his face. Tiger himself could do nothing but hang his head in shame. Genki once again faced me and looked as if nothing had happened.
"There's also Pixie and Big Blue," he said, "although I'm certain it'll take a while to convince them that we're working together. But I'm certain I could convince her if I just have five minutes with her." He took a moment to think. I took that moment to come to a conclusion. His facial expressions and tone of voice had given him away midway through his sentence. He was madly in love with the winged monster. However, this was little concern to me. I awaited his continuation.
"Ducken chi!" For the first time this day, I heard the Mocchi make a noise. At first, I thought it was gibberish until I seperated the "Ducken" from the "chi".
"I'm fairly sssscertain one ssssingle Ducken would be rather usssselesssss," Naga sneered, "Perhapssss an army but even that'sssss ssssstretching it."
"Ducken was strong chi!" Mocchi squeaked. This was most certainly a very dedicated monster. However, a Ducken really is quite pathetic. I heard from Captain Ebony of the Ducken who aided Genki and his friends. However, his role was minor.
"The centaurs!" Suezo yelled out, "We could ask them! They kicked some serious ass!"
"Yeah, our serious ass," Hare muttered under his breath. He then snapped, "How about Horn, the pira-..."
"No, not Horn!" Suezo interrupted him, "We are not getting Horn the fucking pirate!"
"This isn't the time to be choosey about our allies, Suezo," Genki said.
"We could ask the Color Pandoras," Holly chimed in, "One was enough to kill a Steel Dragon. Imagine what the whole village could do."
"And that tool with the worm we gave him!" Suezo yelled out, "Granted he was kind of a bitch but he knew how to train a real killer!"
I held up a hand, "That will do for now. Tell me...where do the pirate dragons reside?"
To Be Continued...
