Avalon stops the blade right before it gets too close to his brother's head that's laying on the right side of his shoulder. He continues to hold the sword in his left hand as his arm is crossed over to the right side of his face with his head slightly tilting away from the blade to the left. His eyes still remained shut. Force began to take a physical form as it rise in a dark purple-ish tint from under his armor from his left arm.
Avalon: “I thought I told you to remove yourselves from our path.”
Drunkard 1: “Fu** you, you cocky little punk!
CRACK!!!
Avalon clinches the blade in his hand as if it were nothing, causing it to crack straight up the middle from the tip to hilt. He opens his eyes… the time feels as if it had drastically slowed down… CRASH!. . . the claymore shatters… thump thump… thump thump.... heart beating....The drunken swordsman catches a glimpse of Avalon’s pale white eyes and becomes petrified with terror. SWISSSHH… Avalon vanishes. Still frozen stiff, the drunken now sword less man, struggles to barely turn his head. Through the corner of his eyes, he sees Avalon walking away from him with his back turned and little brother who is still unconscious on his back. Suddenly, his vision of Avalon begins to get blurred… thump. . .thump. . . thump. . . thump. . . his vision begins to become narrow… thump. . . thump. . . Everything turns black… thump. . . Time speeds up to normal… THUD! The over towering drunkard crashes face first into the ground. Avalon’s pale white eyes fades back to normal as he continues to walk down his path. The dark colored force dies off.
Drunkard 2:( in fear of his own life and what he had just witnessed, he pulls out his pistol and begins to let of shots at Avalon.) “Aaaaahhhh!!
The shots just wiz past Avalon as he sways from side to side dodging the bullets. CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!... not realizing he’s out of bullets, he continually squeezes the trigger. Beads of sweat begin to form and pour down his face as Avalon slow gets closer... and closer. . . and closer… until he stops and stands right beside the gun raving drunkard, facing the opposite direction . The drunkard seems to be unaware that Avalon is standing right beside him for he continues to frantically squeeze the trigger. Avalon’s eyes flicker from pale white and back to his original color. Suddenly, the drunken man just passes out cold. Avalon continues his way home.
Scene: Avalon with his unconscious brother arrives at the city gates just before the town. There are a couple of guards who are lightly dressed in armor and are equipped with a hand gun, a two handed sword on their backs, and two pair of hand cuffs. They stop him.
Guard 1 :( holds his hands out signaling him to stop.) “Excuse me sir, is everything all right? I just heard gunshots and dispatched a search team to find out what’s going on.
Avalon :( nods his head…) “For me and my little brother, yes. But as for the two drunken muggers, not so well…”
He then tells the guards where they could find the muggers. They then run off to the guard shack, and radio in the information they had just received. Kai begins to wake up. The gates to the city begin to open as one of the guards signal to him that he can go through. He walks through the gates, back into the city. When he felt the coast was clear, Kai questions Avalon.
Kai: “Hey Ava, what was all that yelling that I heard just awhile ago? And did I hear gunshots?”
Avalon: "That yelling you heard was the sound of a scared drunk man who thought he was tough. And yes, that was the sound of gunshots that you heard. Two men tried to mug us.”
Kai :( hoops up excitingly, and yanks back on Avalon’s hair)” Dammit Ava! Why didn’t you wake me?!
Avalon: “HEY!! Settle down and stop pulling on my hair! And if I hear you swear just one more time, I promise I will break you in two!”
Kai: “Geeezz…. Soorryy…” (He mumbles under his breath…) “Why you so damn violent…”
Avalon: “WHAT WAS THAT?! DIDN’T QUITE GET THAT!”
Kai: “Huh? What are you talking about? I didn’t say a word. I think you’re just hearing things.”
Avalon: “Umm hmm…”
There is a short moment of silence between the two.
Avalon :( he begins to smile…) “You know, back in the day, you use to be a lot lighter and smaller to where I was able to carry you around on my shoulders. And not to mention, but, a lot less noisy and annoying too!”(Avalon gives him a small nudge to the mid section as he continues to carry him on his back.)
Kai :( coughing a bit from the blow) “HEY!”
Avalon: “I kinda miss those days. How you used to follow me around as if I had a second shadow.”(He chuckles a bit as he reminisce.) “You used to imitate my every move or should I say try to imitate my every move.” (He then tries to deliver another shot to the midsection. This time, Kai quickly drops his arm a bit to block it and counters by pulling back on Avalon’s hair.) “AHHH... nice grass hopper, you’ve learned well! (He says in a Japanese accent.)
They both laugh… Avalon continues...” You used to beg me all the time to teach you every technique that I knew! Especially my Zero Step. (Suddenly, a red glowing glyphic panel appears below Avalon’s feet as he continues to walk. Kai’s eyes began to widen and fill with excitement and anticipation as he quietly and patiently wait to see his big brother pull of his most favorite move of all…) “Just like now… Those eyes, the color of the Alaskan skies in the winter time at night during and aurora effect, would light up and begin to change colors. So full of excitement… innocents… so young you were. And now you’ve grown up so much!” (Then in a cocky manner, Avalon hangs his head high and rubs the bottom of his nose and begins to smirk.) “I know one thing that hasn’t changed… YOU’RE STILL WEAK AS EVER! HAHHAAHAHA….”
Kai:”WHATEVER!!!” (He then, puts Avalon in a playful choke hold as he continues to ride his big brothers back.) “I could beat you if I wanted to! If I hadn’t of held back, I would’ve killed you!”
Avalon :( bursts out laughing uncontrollably…) “Hahahah…WHATEVER! Not even in your wildest dreams and my worst nightmares would that EVER happen.” (The both laugh together as they continue their way home.)
Scene: Back in the woods where Avalon and his brother had just left, the guards come across the after math that Avalon and Kai left behind in their brotherly sparring. Trees are knocked over, shrubs are singed, and there is debris and small craters everywhere. Not far from the battle area, lie the two unconscious drunkards. A team of three guard centuries fully equipped with their armor and weapons survey the area.
Century guard 1: “Over here! I think I found them!” (the other two quickly join their fellow partner. They begin to walk closer, on guard and on full alert, to the two bodies that lay incapacitated on the ground. They glance around first to make sure the area is secure. Then one of them checks the pulse on one of the bodies as one of the other guards leaves the other two to check on the other man who lays unconscious on the ground with his face in the dirty.)
Guard 1 :( speaking to the captain right beside him…) “EEWW… he reeks of cheap booze and cigar smoke… he’s still breathing…” (The drunkard then opens is eyes and just lays there.) “DAMN!” (Surprised, both guards jump back grabbing the hand of there swords.) “This one just opened his eyes but looks as if he’s just seen a ghost.” (Relaxing from being on gaurd, they both knell back down and lean in.)
Century guard 2:( yelling over to the others...) “This one’s alright, how about the one over there?” (He checks his pulse.)
Century guard 2: “His pulse is a bit faint, but he’s still alive.” (He catches something glistening in the corners of his eyes from the light of the moons on the ground beside the captain’s foot.) “Captain, there seems to be shards of what seems to be. . . a broken claymore.”
Captain :”We’ll worry about that later, let’s just get these two and leave.”
Century guard 2 and 1:”Yes sir!” (Guards 1 and two sedate their captive.Guard 1 cuffs his and takes him over the shoulder ready to leave and walks over to where the guard 2 is as guard 2 rolls over the other captive.)
Century guard 2: “Captain! I think you might want to see this…” (the captain quickly joins the his two subordinates, who are kneeling over the body.)
Captain: “WHAT THE HELL?! I’ve never seen anything like this in my life!”
