•Chapter 4• |{Another Failure}|

"Hopefully that boy will have what we want ready." Said DBK as he looked coldly at the fortress before the guards moves out for him to enter, PIF following after him. "Oh he will my darling, I'm pretty sure he got our point when we said we needed him to be more useful. He's so obedient to his parents." PIF spoke with confidence as they approached the main halls of the fortress. Red Son was still adding the finishing touches onto his newest invention and was about to add a screw until he heard his father calling for him. "RED SON!" DBK hollered, triggering the boy and making him rush and hurry out the room to his parents. "Ah! They're back! No matter...I'll impress them with my newest and SUCCESSFUL weapon to use for the plan!" Red said confidently as he stomped down the hall to his parents who were in the main chambers of the fortress. "Where is that BOY?" DBK asked with impatience but was soon calmed by his wife as he huffed in irritation, Red Son stumbling into the room but quickly fixing his gesture to a more respectful form. "Hello mother, father! I, RED SON has made a new and more improved invention to satisfy your TASTES!" The redhead spoke with a sense of annoyance near the end, making his father grow more impatient with him. "It better be." Said his father coldly with a sense of bitterness in his voice, making the boy grow a bit nervous from his tone. "A-Ah...yes! I promise you father that this invention will NOT be a failure this time! I've worked hard on it and gave it my all! I'm SURE you'll be satisfi-" he responded but was cut off by PIF. "We will be satisfied if you SHOW us already Red Son, we do not have all evening." Said his mother bitterly as she held her hips with also a sense of impatience, "Ugh, FINE! I will show you the invention, but this will be the best one yet mother! You'll see once you've FINALLY witnessed the TRUE potential of the prince of THE DEMON BULL KING FAMILY!" He shouted with excitement as he pulled out a large object covered by a cloth and ripped it off revealing a large war hammer with technical advancements. PIF eyes widened in surprise from the sight of the hammer and so did her husband, looking stunned from its design and sharp blades near its ends and spikes on the stoned part of said hammer. "I, Red Son! Provide you with my NEWEST invention, THE BULL HAMMER!!!" Shouted Red Son as he held the hammer but fell onto the ground from it being too heavy and difficult to hold. "AGH-" he screamed, groaning and growling in embarrassment and anger as he struggled to pick up the hammer, his parents just watching in confusion and annoyance. "Is this supposed to be a demonstration or second hand embarrassment?" Asked his mother, making Red Son more irritated. "It's. not. an EMBARRASSME-" screamed the redhead but was interrupted by him accidentally swinging the hammer across the room and it going straight into a wall, the wall beginning to crack and it breaking apart entirely, the hammer landing roughly onto the floor. "I-...UGH! STUPID HAMMER!!! That was so EMBARRASSING! Out of ALL circumstances!" Yelled the young boy as he stomped over to the hammer and tried to pick it up, eventually holding it correctly. "Aha! I got it! Watch father, you'll CERTAINLY be proud of my newest success!" Said the boy again once more as he fixed his balance and dragged the hammer back to in front of his parents, them watching with boredom as he began to demonstrate. "BOT 10!!! Come to your master and stand HERE!" Shouted Red Son to one of the bull bots and pointed for it to stand next to him, It followed its command and walked out the crowd of the bots, going to Red Son and standing right next to the redhead. "Hehehehe! Now parents...WATCH and learn from the great Red Son!" He spoke as he swung the hammer high, still struggling from its weight but then swiftly swinging the hammer back against the bots face, it's head going off completely and oil splattering and shooting from its shoulders. "YES! BLEED HAHAHAHA! IT IS A SUCCESS!" Screamed Red Son as his parents gasped from the demonstration, his father smiling a bit from its effect on the bot. "Hmph...I suppose that's very impressive of you Red Son, but is the hammer supposed to be glitching and steaming like that?" Asked his mother with a smirk as she pointed to the hammer, her husband catching her attention. Red Son felt the hot seething burns from the steaming hammer and he immediately flinched hard and dropped the hammer onto the floor, trying his best to cool it. His parents both looked at each other in confusion but boredom and DBK finally spoke. "Well boy...you've improved...just not enough. Another failure as usual." He spoke, triggering the boy and catching his son's attention. "What...??? Grrrr...NO! I worked HARD on this! It can't fail me now! Ugh!" He screamed back as he tried to cool and fix the hammer but it was too late, the hammer began to beep and glitch and a small purple bolt of it's power flickered around it, making the boy and his parents gasp in shock.

"What...? N-NOOO!!!" Red screamed again as he tried to fix it again but it began to overheat and steam uncontrollably, a bright small purple flicker appearing again from the hammer and a small and high pitch coming from it. "Ah! Red Son turn it OFF!" Shouted his mother as his father began to growl in frustration and walk over to the hammer, Red too focused on it to notice him approaching. "Move boy." Said his father coldly, alerting Red and catching his attention. "What...? No father WAIT-" he yelled but was cut off by the bull before him. "I said, MOVE." Said DBK in a demanding yet normal cold tone, making his son shake and hesitantly move out his way, him watching his father lift his foot and stomp harshly onto the hammer, a small explosion going off from under it and him lifting off his foot to reveal the hammer to be completely crushed from the stomp. Red Son was left shocked and in disbelief but also angry from the sight of his newest invention in complete rubbish and scraps. "No....I- father I worked HARD on that! I spent all day working on this! HOW DARE Y-" he yelled but was then cut off from his father giving him a deadly glare. "Excuse me, BOY?" Responded his father in a hint of anger, shutting down the anger redhead and soon his wife cutting herself in. "Wow Red Son...that WAS impressive, but sadly like all your other failures, this one was surely going to fail was well. Useless as usual, but don't worry...you'll improve and when you do, you'll then be MOST important in our plan to concur this worthless city." Said his mother as she walked to her son and cupped his cheek, a small hint of lacked sympathy in her voice as she smirked at her son. Red Son was in disbelief at first but soon grew to rage as he pushed her hand away and finally snapped. "How dare YOU!!! I worked ALL day on that hammer, you just stepped on it and smothered it in my face like you WANTED me to FAIL!!!" DBK flinched from his son's outburst at his wife and immediately stepped in, hovering over the boy in disappointment and anger. "Don't you dare use that tone in this fortress BOY. You are our child, show more RESPECT to your parents...that's the least a failing excuse like you to-" said the bull but was interrupted by his enraged son, him bursting flames from his eyes and hair and growing more furious by the second. "NO. I-I try my best to please you time and time again! But you are NEVER satisfied!!! I at least DO things around here while all YOU do is-" he yelled but was shut down by a loud yell from his mother. "DONT. YOU. DARE!!!" She screamed, growling and grabbing Red Son by his chin, coming face to face with him. "Don't you DARE use that tone against your father...we do EVERYTHING for you, we went through SO MUCH for you to be born!!! You dare disrespect us like this? Why don't you go to your room and complain in THERE!!!" She finished, roughly letting go of his chin and Red looking shocked and a bit shaken from his mother's rage, he then looked at his father for any sign of him defending him, but no sign came. Only a pale face of disappointment and annoyance from both of them. "F-Father...? Why aren't you defending me...? I worked hard on that invention! You can't-" he said in a sadness yet angry tone but was cut off again by his father. "I can't what? Let you be an embarrassment to the family...? If you want to impress us, try harder." He said coldly as he stomped out the room, PIF following after and the bots slamming the door.

Red only just stood there in disbelief and anger but soon turned to sadness as tears began to fill his eyes and his fists balled up in anger from what happened. He took a small glare at the pile of damaged parts and rubble that was once his invention but soon gave it a dim and cold glare. Quickly waving a finger and causing a small flame to appear, he flicked the small flame into the rubble and it going ablaze soon after. "Hmph...another failure. I guess I'll try harder then...if it's a success they want, a success they'll GET." He whispered angrily as he stomped out the room and went to his own to think to himself as the flames grew bright on the pile of old metal and scraps.
