The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 107 - Revolution

A/N: Yo! Just wanted to clarify something for the weekly readers- you've probably noticed this already but, I say that I update on Friday but, nowadays that's more like really early saturday morning (EST at least) because I stay up late lol. Anyways,

Last chapter, Kodan studied more scripture in order to gain the power of "spirit manipulation"- and against all odds, it worked. This ability, as well as some "cowardly" tricks like taunting, let him win against King Metallica in a duel that would make him his pal.

Kodan's P.O.V.

"My win- ring out." I say to Metallic who's just lying face first in the snow now, I won't celebrate though- doesn't feel right. Looks like he's about to get up now though-

"Hell yeah Kodan!! He's your problem now, have fun you fucker." Timso shouts and claps at the same time- guess he woke up. Douchebag. Could've at least said that in private to me, King stopped moving now too so it must've hurt him.

"Shut it bud, or you're next. Here, King Metallica, don't listen to him. Also I'm really sorry about what I said to you, back there during the fight I mean. I just wanted to do anything I could to win- I didn't mean any of that bullshit I said. I just wanted you to be my pal no matter what. ...You can get a hit on me back if you want now." I say as I try to lean down and give him a hand to get up- I may regret that last bit but eh, I won't bitch out of it now.

Finally he starts to get up, but only after he's on his feet does he grab my hand, alright then. "No worries then, pal! And-"

*FWOOSH- BONK!*

"Ow! Nice hit." I cry out as he swings his arm behind, and above his head, 180 degrees to chop me on my own head. But more importantly he called me his pal- we're good to go I guess, sweet!

"Why thank you pal- do know that I won't be as forgiving next time! On that note, I guess this is goodbye, Timso... we never got to bond too much did we? It truly is a shame... I thought I'd be able to make you a better person but- it seems like I didn't quite manage that. But regardless- thank you for sticking with me, and for being my pal! We sure did have a blast of a time together! I wish you the best, you're just fine the way you are now too ya know!" Metallic says with his eyes closed but- I frown as I look behind me, to see that Timso is already long gone.

"Ouch... maybe that's why King closed his eyes, may have seen this coming." I think to myself with an even bigger frown, and hug King Metallica's body-

"YEESH you're cold!" I cry out as I jump back from his cold metal chest, and his snow covered massive purple robe.

"Ah- I would hug ya back pal but I wouldn't want to freeze you up after all. One time about 50 years ago, I had one of my old pals get his lips stuck to me like a pole- I unfortunately had to cut his lips off but, he was O.K. in the end, yashashasha!" Metallic laughs- heh, maybe Timso was partially right, this bot is pretty wild- in a good way though. I can handle him.

"Well damn, yeah I sure hope the poor guy was alright. And 50 years ago? You can sure fight well for being that old. Also if I can ask King Metallica- what kinda robot are you? Don't you have a product name or something?" I ask as my teeth start to shiver- wait no what do you call it again when it happens... hah I don't know, anyways I need to get out of this cold ASAP.

"Ah- well I am over 200 years old so 50 years means squat to me! And my product name- everyone asks me the same thing, I haven't a C.L.U.E. No clues and I could care less- all I do know is that I am a mighty King! And a machine. Enough bonding for now, let's skedaddle, we'll miss Kingmas mass if we twiddle our thumbs around here for any longer. I've got just the building to go to for it, come on!" King Metallica says as he grabs my hand and pulls me along as he runs super fast. Hey I don't even need to move my legs I can just slide on the snow while he pulls me! But oh yeah, glad I'll be out of the cold at mass at least.
