The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 106 Part 1 - Look Inwards

A/N: Just wanted to notify you guys of a small change- Kodan's age used to be 20 in the flashback. However, that's now been changed to 28. Hope you can enjoy the chapter!

Last chapter, Kodan returned back to where he and his friends were staying- only to find all three of them being held up at gunpoint by the Hopian Army as hostages. All of this was done to force Kodan to come with them- since he was kidnapped and served under their secret services for a while before he escaped.

The situation went haywire however as two of them, Cole and Laxin got shot and killed- however Kodan was quick to take out the soldiers and save his last remaining friend there. And now, a month later, right after finishing a prayer- Kodan's old enemy Timso, sent his new friend out to attack Kodan, King Metallica.

Kodan's P.O.V.

"...A.H.! I got distracted. Sorry, my fellow Five King worshiper- but you've gotta get going now!" The robot says as he grips my side, and lifts me up which makes me laugh-

"Stop- stop I'm ticklish-" I try to say as he swings me around and places back down on the ground again.

"So who-" I try to say, but he interuppts me as he slaps his palm onto my face,

*FWOOSH!*

...

...

I, I can feel a crazy amount of wind blowing all over me, but I can't feel any of my body- I open my eyes-

"What the hell?!" I think to myself as I can see the lit up streets flying beneath me- no wait I'm flying!-

*CRASH!*

I break through something- and a few more things that hurt like hell, until I roll over a few times and slam my back into a wall which finally stops me.

I open my eyes again, apparently I'm upside down now, but anyways, fucking wow- there's a bunch of glass and a bit of blood splattered on the carpeted floor in front of me, and a giant person sitting on a chair too who's staring at me with wide eyes to the left.

I start to laugh like hell- "H-how far did that guy send me flying?! That was awesome!" I just barely manage to yell, and at the same time I finally start to spin myself around so I'm sitting upright. Without wasting anytime I stand up,

"Wait- I'm barely even injured after all that? I mean... I guess the glass hurt but... no broken bones or anything after that shit?" I think to myself as I glance over my arms that have a few cuts on them- luckily I'm pretty sure the cybernetics I got installed way back make my skin a lot tougher. How- no clue.

I glance to the fat person sitting to the left of me, "Sorry for the uh, interupption by the way- a bot dressed up as a King sent me here. You should have insurance though." I say as I walk past them- they're screaming too, guess I didn't notice, I can see why they are though.

"Ohhhhh dear. This'll be fun." I mumble to myself as I peak my head out of the window I just crashed through, to see that I'm probably at LEAST 10 floors up in what seems to be a "registered" apartment building.

"Welp. Jumping sure isn't an option... guess I'll have to get out of here the old fashion way."

20 minutes later...

💨👟💨

"...That was pretty easy... kinda boring though." I think to myself as I walk out the front door to the building- there was no security or anything that I had to sneak by- not even in the lobby of this place... guess they're more worried about people getting in here than out.
