Falling From Grace

Chapter 2

Golem

This guy was huge! MK looked at him and then at his staff. He wanted so much to just sit back and let someone else do this, he had noodles to de...the noodle cart flew over his head and crashed against the ground right in front of the noodle shop. The face Pigsy gave was of complete horror.

"Sorry Pigsy!" MK yelled out. It was all he could do at the moment as he saw Tang take Pigsy's hand and run down the alleyway. Yeah, the less he had to worry about the better. Welp here he went time for MK.

He hit the Golem and the arm flew off hitting the buildings down the alleyway next to where Tang and Pigsy disappeared down. He panicked for a moment. He had to get rid of this guy first. But how do you get rid of a rock guy that was constantly swinging his rock arms at you? He needed a distraction.

MK jetted down an alleyway and back out again. Launching himself at the rock monster. He only hoped his plan worked.

The Golem swung his arm down and smashed MK to the pavement. He looked under his hand and blinked. Hair? What was hair doing there? He looked around at the alleyway and jumped at the sudden overflow of MKs from the alleyways, each one swinging their staffs, hitting him over and over again until he looked like swiss cheese. MK smiled, spotting the doll in his forehead partly sticking out of its haven in the golem's forehead.

"Perfect..." MK vaulted toward the Golem and pushed the staff into the golem's forehead. The doll fell to the ground and the golem turned to mud.

MK looked grossed out. "Guh...I just had these clothes cleaned. I can't go to work in this." MK groaned and trudged through the mud toward the alleyway.

"Tang, Pigsy!"

MK stopped spotting the man with the mask on his face that kept changing from one emotion to the next. He looked up at MK and vanished in a plume of smoke. He spotted the second person and pointed the staff at them and glared.

"What did you do to..." He gasped as the person snatched the staff from his fingers and used it to move the straw hat to look up at him.

MK was star struck for a moment there, he didn't expect someone to snatch the staff from him, but this wasn't just some stranger.

"Tyla!" MK ran forward and hugged her. He jumped feeling something moving under his fingers that were around her back. Tyla jumped hearing the displeasure of the infant on her back. The six month old infant monkey started to cry. "Oh sorry, I forgot." He covered his mouth as Tyla handed the staff back to him and took off the papoose.

Tang looked around at Pigsy as he began to stir.

"Ah, my head." He ran his fingers over the lump the roof tile had created. Tang was able to dislodge himself from under Tang now and watched as the pig man sighed and looked around. "Did you beat it?" Pigsy asked, feeling Tang pull his hand away.

"Yeah, I beat him, not too hard, but wow did it cause some damage. I'm afraid your noodle cart is sleeping with the fishes." Pigsy sighed and ran his fingers over Tangs cheek and sighed. "Ah, don't worry about it MK...I got insurance on it. Especially after what happened to the last one.

"I'm...I'm Tang." Tang said. Pigsy squinted and then looked at MK and then back again.

"You sure?" Oh, they would be taking a trip to the hospital after this then.
