Bad Days Never Get Better
“Relax Leslee,” Silver Samurai said as he pulled on his trademark white shirt, “Go get dressed, and we find out what happened to Brian together.”
“What do you think happen to
Forgotten One?” Avatar asked as he strapped on his chain armor.
“I’m willing to bet ten to one, I
know what happened to him,” Silver Samurai said.
“You’re on.”
A short hour latter, the three of
them, Silver Samurai, Avatar, and Leslee now wearing another one of her purple
gowns, were standing outside the crystal palace of Tundra. The palace itself
was the only building in Tundra that was above water, standing above the rest
of the city as a symbol of power.
“What are we doing here?” Leslee
asked
“You’ll see,” Silver Samurai said as
he entered the double doors of the palace.
After a long walk down the hall, the
three found the door to the throne room itself. Silver Samurai threw open the
doors of the throne room to find his brother, Forgotten One tied to the throne,
next to him, was X, now dressed in all black, complete with a long black pony
tail, with a sword to Forgotten One’s neck.
“Told you,” Silver Samurai said as
he extended his right hand to Avatar.
“Damn,” Avatar said as he slapped a
ten-dollar bill into Silver Samurai’s hand.
“Brian!” Leslee yelled as she rushed
towards her husband.
“Stay right there,” X ordered, “Take
one more step and the king here loses his head.”
“ Why X, Why?” Leslee asked as she
stared in disbelief at X.
“Boy you are a true blond aren’t
you? You abandoned us, you abandoned Tundra!” X yelled as he pressed the sword
closer to Forgotten One’s neck, drawing a tickle of blood from his neck.
“But…”
“Don’t start,” X said, cutting off
Leslee, “The King, the queen, Tundra we all depended on you. And when things
started to go wrong you abandoned us and never came back. You betrayed us all,
and now you will pay for it with the life of the one you care about.”
“Ok, I heard enough,” Silver Samurai
said as he stepped forward, pulling out his white fire sword, “Why don’t you
get that sword off my brothers neck and try to use it against me?”
“Don’t make me laugh,” X said
removing the sword from Forgotten One’s neck, “Silver Samurai right? Yes one of
the biggest so called heroes on that little planet called Earth. I know
everything about you, I know the fighting style of every hero, villain, or
anyone else who ever picked up a sword. I’m the ultimate fighting machine.”
Silver Samurai let out a yawn,
“Enough already, come down here so I can kick your ass, and we can go on living
happily ever after.”
X shrugs, “You’re funeral.”
X stepped in front of Forgotten One
and motioned Silver Samurai to come fight him, Silver Samurai slowly walked
towards X.
“Good luck,” Leslee whispered as the
two fighters reached each other.
Silver Samurai gave ever thing he
had, but X knew his ever move, even before he made it. Silver Samurai didn’t
lose many sword fights, but this one he looked totally silly trying to hit X.
It was only a matter of time until Silver Samurai had been disarmed and soundly
defeated.
“Are you ok?” Leslee asked as she
rushed over to Silver Samurai.
“Yeah I’m fine,” Silver Samurai said
disappointed that he lost.
“Now if you excuse me, I got a king
to kill,” X said as he turned towards Forgotten One.
“Wait!” Avatar said stepping forward
with his sword.
“I got kings to kill, countries to
run, I have no time for you,” X said over his shoulder.
“What are you afraid you are going
to lose?” Avatar asked, mockingly.
“And you are?” X asked as he turned
towards Avatar.
“The names Avatar, and I won’t let
you kill my friend.”
“Sorry never heard of you,” X said
as he turned back towards Forgotten One, ignoring Avatar.
“So the Ultimate Fighting machine is
scared of a nobody?”
“Fine, bring it on!”
Silver Samurai watched in amazement
as X tried numerous fighting styles, but couldn’t strike Avatar. Avatar had
just too much knowledge, and too much skill.
It wasn’t long before Avatar literally sliced the sword arm off of X.
“Impossible,” X said, as he picked
up his severed arm with his working arm.
“We be taking Forgotten One now,”
Avatar said as sheathed his sword.
“Very well, but Leslee I warn you,
I, nor Tundra will not forget you abandoning us, we will get our revenge.” X
said as he exited the throne room.
“Boy it’s nice to be back,” Silver
Samurai said once they were safely back on Earth, “How long were we gone?”
“About two hours?” Leslee said
checking her wristwatch.
“What?” Silver Samurai asked, not
believing his ears.
“Remember Tundra moves at a much
faster orbit than Earth, so time goes by quicker there,” Leslee said.
“I have to go now,” Avatar said.
“What are you talking about?” Silver
Samurai asked, “I thought you needed me to protect you from the bounty
hunters.”
“I realized I can’t hide from my
problems, I must face them. I thank you for protecting me, but now I have to do
things on my own,” Avatar said with pride in his voice.
“I understand, good luck Avatar,”
Silver Samurai said shaking Avatar’s hand.
“Thank you,” Avatar said as he
started to walk away.
“Avatar?” Forgotten One called out.
“Yes?” Avatar said over his
shoulder.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it,” Avatar said he
disappeared from site.
The group now minus Avatar was
almost at the exit of the forest they were in. The happy threesome were
chatting among themselves, when out of the corner of his eye, Silver Samurai
spotted a black fireball heading straight for the group.
“Watch out!” Silver Samurai said as
he tackled Leslee to the ground.
“I knew if I waited around here long
enough I find you,” New Samurai said as he appeared at the foot of the forest, being
dressed all in black he fit in perfectly in the shadows “Oh Well, let’s finish
this,” New Samurai gathered another black fireball into his hand.
Forgotten One was a hair quicker
than New Samurai and quickly pulled out his Fire Rod, “Fire-Strike!”
A bolt of fire leapt from Forgotten
One’s fire rod and hit New Samurai before he could react.
“Is that the best you got?” New
samurai asked, unaffected by the blast.
“ No I got better, I call upon the
power of…”
“Save it,” New samurai said as he
sliced his sword in mid air, causing a wave of black fire to attack Forgotten
One.
The wave of fire knocked Forgotten
One clear unconscious.
“Now for you,” New Samurai said as
he turned his attention to Silver Samurai.
“Go check on Brian,” Silver Samurai
said to Leslee, as he helped her up.
Leslee didn’t move just continued
staring into the yes of Silver Samurai.
“NOW!”
“Sorry, I was a little fazed from
the sudden fall,” Leslee said.
“Sorry about that,” Silver Samurai
said.
Leslee rushed off rushed off to her
husband but not before turning around to say “Thank you.”
“Boy this day never gets better does
it?” Silver samurai asked himself as he pulled out his white fire sword.
“Now, Silver Samurai, you will die!
Samurai Black Fireball,” New Samurai yelled as he unleashed the evil version of
Silver Samurai white fireball.
“You never learn, do you?” Silver Samurai
said as the huge black fireball neared him, “oh well, Samurai White Fireball!”
The two fireballs collided with
great force, but Silver Samurai’s white fireball engulfed New Samurai’s evil
black fireball. The white fireball hit New Samurai with enough force to send
him flying against a tree trunk. New Samurai slumped against the tree trunk,
unable to move.
“You’re getting old New Samurai,”
Silver Samurai said as he walked towards New Samurai, his White fire sword
extended, ready to strike, “I guess this day does get better,” Silver Samurai
swung down as New samurai’s head.
Silver Samurai’s sword hit a large
mound of dirt with a thud clang.
“What the?” Silver Samurai asked,
confused where the large mound of dirt came from all of a sudden.
“Boys shouldn’t play with swords,” a
lovely girl said as he she appeared from the depths of the forest. The female
sported a dark green dress, with dark hair running down her back in a ponytail,
in her right hand was a large staff very similar to Leslee’s minus the crescent
moon.
“And you are?” Silver Samurai asked.
“You can call me Emerald,” The young
lady said, “And you can step away from that man, unless if you want to deal
with me.”
“You don’t understand this man is
New Samurai, the most evil man on the planet.”
“I know full well who he is, that
doesn’t change the fact that I’m not going to allow you to lay a hand on him.”
“And how are you going to stop me?”
Silver Samurai asked, almost mocking Emerald.
“Like this,” Emerald said as the top
of her staff flashed green, causing the earth around her to rise up.
“You think a little dirt is going to
hurt me?” Silver samurai asked, almost laughing.
Emerald remained silent; instead she
sent the earth around her at Silver Samurai in an X pattern.
Dirt, rocks, branches, pebbles, leaves;
they all hit Silver Samurai with a surprising amount of force. Silver samurai collapsed
a dirty and bloody mess.
“I see you are finally awake,” A familiar
voice said, waking Silver Samurai up.
“What happened?” Silver Samurai
asked as he rubbed his head, trying to get his vision back, “The last thing I remember
this beautiful woman attacked me.”
“Awe how kind of you,” the voice
said.
Silver Samurai vision returned to
find he was inside of a jail cell, with Leslee and Forgotten One, outside of
cell was Emerald standing side by side with New Samurai.
“So why aren’t I dead yet?” Silver
Samurai asked
“Yeah why isn’t he dead yet?” New Samurai
asked Emerald.
“Come on honey,” Emerald said
running her hand along New Samurai’s face, “Wouldn’t you rather play around
with your prey before you kill it?”
“Honey?” Forgotten One whispered to
Leslee.
“You better know what you are doing,”
New samurai said pushing her hand away.
“Look its simple, I’m a fair women, I
give you a chance to get out of here before we kill you,” Emerald said.
“How kind of you,” Silver Samurai
said sarcastically.
“It’s simple, we hold a little two
on two tournament action, couple tournament if you will. The winner gets
control of FWL,” Emerald said.
“What!” New Samurai yelled.
“Shu,” Emerald said holding her
finger to New Samurai’s lips, “Relax, I know what I’m doing.”
“What about me? I can’t contact Rosa
from inside this jail cell?” Silver Samurai said
“Don’t worry dear, we contact your
precious Rosa, and by some small chance she doesn’t show, well I guess you
forfeit, and we kill you on the spot,” Emerald said with an evil smile.
“Thanks,” Silver Samurai said
sarcastically.
“I think I like the way you think,”
New samurai said to Emerald as the two walked away.
“Boy this day just get worse and
worse,” Silver Samurai said putting his head down.
“I hate to break it to you,” Leslee
said as she went over to comfort Silver Samurai, “But bad days never get
better.”
