contiuation... part 1

He lets out another squeal when he smacks the earth. Clouds of dust begin to rise as more debris rained down on him. In the midst of the dust cloud, his opponent appears. You see the silhouette of the two figures; the little boy, who is lying with his back in the ruble, with his opponent who has the tip of his blade at the little boy’s throat as he stand before him.
The dust settles. Finally you get a full glimpse of the once cloaked figure. The little boy, still laying back in the ruble looks up at him from his position starting from is feet, slowly moving up. His opponent wears unfamiliar sandals. Two white, shell-like straps cross over his feet, one skinny strap across before his toes and another fatter strap across from where he middle of his foot to just slightly below his ankle. A leather strap leads from that shell and raps around above his ankle. His shins are wrapped in a deep crimson red garment that leads from the leather strap to his the bottom of his knee. His pants are of a cool gray which are baggy and are pulled up to stop at his knees. His chest is bare. On his right forearm, he wears the same dark crimson red garment that stops at his elbows. On his left arm, he wears again, a white-shell like armor that covers part of his chest and leads all the way down to the back of his hand. He also wears half of a tassel around the left side of his waist that is of the same white shell like material. His face is very young. He wears a short trimmed beard and long side burns. His eyes are of the color of the sky just before the sunset. Around his head, he wears a sky blue bandanna that waves in the wind, along with is long wool like white hair.
He looks down at his opponent with a cold stare.
?:
"Do you have any last words?"

Little boy: (pause….) OUCH!

?: (with a confused look on his face..) OUCH?

The mysterious warrior’s attention is quickly diverted away as he notices a bunch of little red glowing dots began to scatter from out behind the little boy. In that same moment the little boy notices a lot of red glowing dots moving around in his opponent’s hair. The little boy breaks the silence….


Little boy: “Hey Ava, your hair is sprinkled with glowing red dots.”

Avalon:” Well…. Uhh… Kai… there are a bunch of glowing red dots that are scattering from beneath your ass.”

There is a short pause….dead silence… the wind blows. Leaves blow past the both of their faces… They stare at each other…. then themselves… each other again. . Then… Themselves…then. . Each... Other . . . they jump up into each other’s face….

Kai: “AHHH…. FIRE ANTS!!!”
Avalon: “AHHH…. FIRE ANTS!!!”

Then they both take off running in all kind of directions like chickens with their heads cut off… on fire!

SMACK! The run head on into each other face first. Then hit the ground.

Avalon :( yelling at Kai angrily) Kai! You idiot! You should’ve watched where you were falling you dumb @$$!”

Kai :( quickly springing to his feet, yells back...) “You knocked “ME” into the mound! SOOO… THAT MAKES “YOU” THE DUMB @$$,YOU IDIOT! YOU HAVE NO SENCE OF DIRECTION OR KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS! OH... and not to mention, and STILL DOESN’T KNOW THE MEANING OF REsTRAINT!!! YOU COULD’VE KILLED ME OUT THERE!”

Avalon :( quickly springing to his feet and knocks Kai over the top of his head, causing a large lump to swell up) “Aye… WATCH YOUR MOUTH!”

Kai :( tears from the pain of the swelling form in his eyes…) “FINE, SORRRRYYYY!!” (He rubs the top of his head…) “Just tell me how to get these darn things off!”

Avalon :( he pauses with his arms folded as he rubs his beard…then scratches the top of his head…) “hmm…umm…

Kai :( cuts off Avalon…) “HMM!! UMM!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN HMM!!! UMM!?? You’ve been away for what, hmm… just only a couple of years; oh and not to mention, but in the MILLITARY!!! WHAT D’HELL HAVE THEY BEEN TRAINING YOU TO DO AND LEARN!?

Avalon :( hits him once more over the head…) “I said watch your DAMN MOUTH!”

Kai :( now a bit pissed off from Avalon hitting him…) “FINE!!! JUST GET THEM OFF!”

Avalon :( standing in deep thought, concentrating) “. . . .I think I forgot…”

Kai :( standing there in complete shock and disbelief, he feels let down and shakes his head with his head hanging low, thinking to himself… “Do I REALLY look up to him?! This guy is still forever hopeless”)

Avalon (exited…) “I got it! I remember NOW! Drop your force level as low as you can. But before you do that, touch that tree over there and transfuse some of your force a bit higher than that of your own level. These ants are attracted to high levels of concentrated force and leach off of its host until it sucks it bone dry. And hurry, over a short time, they put you in a state of paralysis.”

Kai then does exactly what his older brother tells him to do. Avalon then walks over to another tree across from where Kai is and does the very same thing.

Avalon: (turning around…) “Alright little brother, time to g. . .”
In the distance, he sees Kai passed out cold on the ground, peacefully resting. Avalon begins to smile proudly as he slowly walks over to aid his little brother. Avalon then kneels down to his brother to pick him up and put him on his back to carry him.

Avalon: “Looks like he gave it his all to defend against that last attack.”
He takes a few steps forward on his way home then stops dead in his tracks.

Drunkard 1 :( smiling with evil intent) “Hehehe… Whe… Hiccup…. Where do the two of you think you’re going?”

Drunkard 2: “Yeah! Where d’hell you think ya’ll going? Huh?”

The two drunkards stumble upon the path that Avalon and his little brother, Kia, where traveling. One leans on the other for support. The drunkard with the hick ups reveals the hilt and handle of his two handed claymore sword, assuming that his sword along with his towering height would intimidate Avalon. His slightly shorter drunk partner lifts up his old bummy jacket to reveal his old and out dated well polished chrome revolver. Their posture that was once captivated by the effects of the strong booze that they timelessly indulged in, shifted into a strong and stable fighting stance. Avalon looks into their now sober faces only to find a devilish, sinister grin. Their eyes… their eyes are low and filled with the evil intent to kill. Avalon closes his eyes and inhales deeply. Then exhales and opens his eyes…

Avalon :( in a calm and firm voice…) “Please remove yourselves from our path.”

He then continues to walk down his path in the direction that the two drunkards are in. Angered by Avalon and his confidence in his voice and by what he said, the drunkard with the huge two handed claymore sword dashes wildly at Avalon and Kai.

Drunkard 1 :( yelling…) “You cocky little BASTARD!! I’ll end this quickly and torture your little brother right in front of as you lay helplessly and almost lifeless on the ground!

The drunkard then leaps into the air and draws his sword from behind his back as his beat up old trench coat flaps in the wind. His comes down with increasing speed with a downward slash with enough force to cleave a boulder in half. Surprised by the speed and technique of the drunken swordsman, Avalon just barely manages to dodges his attack by sidestepping to the left. BOOOM! The sword slams straight into the ground; crumbling the gravel and leaving a small miniature crater the size of the blades length. The ground shakes a bit from the force and energy that was put into the attack causing Avalon to become a bit off balance…

Drunkard 1 :( smirks at Avalon as if he meant to miss) “Gotcha!”
With out leaving time for Avalon to regain his balance and dodge again, the drunken swordsman unleashes and even fiercer horizontal slash trying to take off Avalon and Kai’s heads. Avalon closes his eyes as the blade draws closer and closer … SLISSSH..CLINK!...the sound of metal meeting flesh echos through out the darkness of the night...
