Bad Days Just Never End
“What the hell do you think you are doing?” Silver Samurai snapped at his brother.
“Why didn’t you knock?” Rosa asked
as she stood up to fix her white dress.
“I live here,” Silver Samurai yelled
in outrage.
“Calm down bro, if you were here for
Rosa this never would have happened,” Forgotten One said, standing up and
putting his arm around Rosa to protect her, “But no, you prefer to go out every
day, fight a useless fight and leave this poor girl all alone, by herself to
raise two small kids.”
“You dare question my fight against
evil, even what happened to our father?” Silver Samurai asked.
“He’s right Matt, this is all your
fault,” Rosa said, starting to sob.
“It is not his fault,” Melisa said,
standing up for Silver Samurai.
“I don’t need you help,” Silver
Samurai said, just now realizing Melisa was standing right next to him, “How
long has this been going on?”
“That’s not important,” Forgotten
One said as he leaned Rosa’s head onto his shoulder.
“What are the kids going to think?”
Silver Samurai asked.
“They’re not yours anyways,”
Forgotten One said, almost coldly, “At least not one of them, you can keep that
little mime of yours, that can’t even talk.”
“Then Hawk is…”
“You really are a little on the slow
side, bro,” Forgotten One said cutting off his brother, “Come on all the sign
were staring you in the face. A blond haired kid, when both his parents have
dark hair, a kid that looks nothing like you. You think you would be able to
tell that Hawk has my face.”
Silver Samurai put his head down,
not knowing what to say next, “And what about that poor injured lady out there,
your wife Leslee?”
Forgotten One started to laugh.
“What’s so funny?” Silver Samurai
demanded.
“I was just thinking, ever since we
were kids you always managed to steal my girlfriends. Now all that has
changed.”
Silver Samurai was about to open his
mouth but Forgotten One cut him off.
“I’m not dumb! I see how you and
Leslee look at each other. She always wanted you, and you know it! I bet you
wanted her too,” Forgotten One laughed, “I remembered when I first met Leslee,
I remember overhearing her late night conversations. How she always wanted to
be with someone sweet and kind, someone like Silver Samurai. And how she would
love to give herself to that one person for the first time…”
“I don’t need to be listening to
this,” Silver Samurai said turning his head.
“Don’t worry, bro, you don’t have to
worry about that, neither does she. Yes that wedding night was truly special.”
Again Silver Samurai opened his
mouth but was cut off by Forgotten One.
“Oh and of course this brings me to
your lovely bride to be here,” Forgotten One said as he stroked Rosa’s dyed
blond hair gently, “I remember you used to tell me how you were going to make
her first time special, something to remember for the rest of her life. Well
bro, trust me her first time was special.”
“You’re and evil man,” Silver
Samurai said softly.
“No my dear brother, you are the one
who is evil, you leave this woman all alone…”
“I don’t have to listen to this,”
Silver Samurai said as he turned, and left the house, practically dragging a
stunned Melisa behind him.
“You see…”
“Don’t start,” Silver Samurai said
cutting off Melisa.
The two of them walked quietly back
to the clearing where ??? and Leslee were waiting. Silver Samurai leaned down
and picked up Leslee in his arms.
“I’m out of here.”
And with that Silver Samurai was
gone in a flash of white fire, leaving behind a stunned Melisa staring at the
melted ends of the handcuffs.
“So what do we do now?” Melisa asked
???.
??? shrugged.
Back on the one place Silver Samurai
knew where to go, his private aircraft The Silver Hawk, Leslee was just waking
up.
“Feeling any better?” Silver Samurai
asked Leslee, handing her a cup of water.
“Yes, lots,” Leslee said as she
drank the whole glass of water in one gulp, “Thank you.”
“I think it’s best we stay here for
a while,” Silver Samurai said slowly.
“I’m afraid I can’t,” Leslee said
handing the glass back to Silver Samurai.
“Why not?” Silver Samurai asked,
shocked at the comments from Leslee.
“Avatar said something very smart,
that I have only know thought of,” Leslee said, calmly, “He said, you can’t run
away from your problems. That’s what I been doing. I’m the Queen of Tundra
that’s my home, and I ran away from it because some stupid robot doesn’t want
me there. That’s not right, I must go back, and fix the terrible mess Tundra is
in.”
“I understand,” was all Silver
Samurai could say.
“All I need to do is get in contact
with the Star Team so they can take me back.”
“Take the Silver Hawk.”
“What?” Leslee asked shocked.
“I don’t need it, and it’s a lot
faster, just take it, no arguing.”
“Ok, if you insist,” Leslee said a
little unsure, “Can you do me one favor Matt?”
“Anything for you.”
“Tell Brian, that I love him, but I
must do this and I hope to see him again soon.”
Silver Samurai hesitated, not
knowing what to say.
“Just promise me you do that.”
“Next time I see him I will,” Silver
Samurai said as he started to leave his ship.
“One last thing, Matt,” Leslee said
as she accompanied Silver Samurai to the exit ramp.
“Yes?”
“If you never introduced me to that
wonderful brother of yours, I most likely would have married you,” Leslee said
as she gave Silver Samurai a friendly kiss on the cheek, before rushing off to
the cockpit.
“Yeah some wonderful brother,”
Silver Samurai said to himself, as he walked down the ramp.
Silver Samurai stepped down onto the
cold dirt, and watched as the Silver Hawk starting to lift off and fly off. In
a sense he was watching the last bit of what he knew was life, leaving him. Now
the question is what to do with life now? How could a person so used to tragedy
to able to come back from another one? How could…
“Give me all your money now, or
else,” A male voice said from behind.
In one swift motion Silver samurai
had his white fire sword out and turned to face his would be robber. He was a
man in his mid twenties with long black hair. He was dressed in a white shirt
with a black spider web design on it, a pair of black pants, and a sleek
looking sword in his hand.
“Not a good day to mess with me
buddy,” Silver samurai said as he advanced on the unknown man.
“I see you are in the mood fro a
fight,” The man said with an evil smile, “Well that’s why I always bring along
backup. Spade, Silence subdue this man.”
Out from the bushed stepped two big
men, make that huge men. Silver samurai has seen some big people before in his
life with the 7’0” Bodyguard and the 6’10” Col. Brickwall, but these two men
could make them look like dwarfs. One man who stood at least 7’6” had a shaved
head, and was wearing a torn and tattered white tank top, and just equally
beat-up pair of faded blue jeans. As for the other man, he stood a full 6
inches taller than his partner, and had much better taste in clothing. He
sported a short black ponytail, similar to Silver Samurai’s, and was dressed in
a shiny silver suit.
“This is Spade, as you can tell he
has exquisite taste in clothing,” The man said as he reached up to place his
hand on the bigger of the two men.
“Leave this to me Spider,” Spade
said as he pulled out a fancy looking gun and advanced towards Silver Samurai,
“Now hand over the money, before you get hurt.”
“Let me ask you a question,” Silver
Samurai said as he stared at the big man’s shiny silver suit, “How much did you
pay for that?”
“This suit here, cost me a cool
grand,” Spade said, pinching the fabric of his jacket.
“Let me tell you something,” Silver
Samurai said as he sliced the man right down the chest with his sword, causing
an ugly burn mark and ruining his suit, “You paid too much for it.”
“My suit,” Spade yelled outraged,
“You pay for that!”
Spade tried to pull the trigger on
his gun, but was a second too late, silver Samurai quickly kicked the gun out
of Spade’s hand, then circled behind Spade, and kicked him with such force that
it sent Spade flying into a nearby tree headfirst.”
“Next,” Silver Samurai said with a
cool cockiness.
“Not bad, but I don’t think you find
things so easy with Silence,” Spider said motioning for the other man to get
Silver Samurai, “He does his talking with his fist.”
The other big man known as Silence
advances towards Silver Samurai, pounding his fist into his hand.
“Let me guess you don’t talk?”
Silver samurai questioned.
Silence nodded a yes.
“You know you and my son should sit
down for a nice long conversation,” Silver Samurai said, laughing at his joke,
before throwing a white fireball at Silence without warning causes him to fly
back, “But at least the good thing is you can’t tell me how much that hurt.”
“I swear, henchman are never good
for anything,” Spider said as he advanced towards Silver Samurai, “But that’s ok,
that little toy of your is no match for my Spider Slayer.”
Spider took a swipe at Silver
Samurai but Silver Samurai back stepped it, barely avoided the blade. Realizing
his error, Silver Samurai quickly went on the offensive, not wanting to be that
close to his blade again. Everything was going in favor for Silver Samurai when
Silver Samurai felt a sharp pain hit his right arm, causing him to drop his
sword. He attempted to lean down to get it but a now pissed Silence belted
Silver Samurai in the face causing him to drop to his knees. Silver Samurai
made one last dive for his sword, but sticking webbing covered it before Silver
Samurai was able to reach it.
“Now so tough now, without your
sword,” Spider said, as him and his two colleagues peered down at Silver
Samurai, “you should have just given us your money, now I’m afraid I’m going to
have to kill you.”
