Red Knight: "Our time is here, our time is now, for this is the time of battle (Raises sword)! Charge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

With that came a rally cry of the horde of those who followed the Red Knight to victory and while the army of red marched forward towards battle the Red Knight stayed behind to give the only child that was left behind some comfort and a copy of their armor, shield, and sword.

Red Knight: "Now listen here son (Grabs the boys hands) never forget our path where we were armor so we are protected from pain, we raise our shield so we can stop dangers before they past and lastly (grabs his sword and the replica and after messing with them for a bit gives the boy his blade) the sword is a weapon we use to slay all the evil that stands in our way. But do not forget that sometimes our way does not work which is why you have to stay because unlike us (places his hands on the boys face before rubbing gently) you are smart and can do the same without the blood now be good and stay here."

And just like that the young boy is left all alone with the hope of one day finding his clan no his family! But life is unkind especially for those loyal because the young boy did as he was told for the last time by his father before they all left him alone.

But with the hope that they would one day return the boy stayed in the abandoned castle waiting..... alone..... with the only thing he knew to do was train like the others and try to grow stronger in the process so that one day he could meet them once again and finally be able to feel like a boy once again getting hugged by his fathers arms.

So for days he worked on his body and his skill with the shield and blade that were left behind by his father and family as the days turned into months until eventually the months themself turned into years all without the young boy noticing.

Boy: "(camera pans across a now older boy holding his fathers sword with both hands as it slowly reveals all of him in his torn red outfit that is no longer meant for him as he controls his breathing and focuses on the blade) (Breaths in then out) I got this, it can't that hard considering how long you practiced and how many times you saw it in action before your very eyes (Breaths in and out again) lets do this." 

The young man holds his sword like that of a Samurai and just waits as the whole area gets shown in both its glory days and how it looks now after being ravaged by time as the only sound that can be heard is nothing but the wind but once a leaf gently flutters in and passes by the young mans head that's when he draws his blade and starts practicing.

Once he feels the leaf float past him the young man starts moving around with his sword like they are one and the same where is a wolf and the blade is his claw moving as fast as he could possibly so a mini gust of wind would form and make sure the fallen leaf does not move or leave until he feels like he is done.

The only reason the young man stops swinging his blade around is when the doors of the fallen castle gate open suddenly and since they almost ancient they make a loud creaking sound the entire time until everything finally comes to a stop with the young man coming face to face with a group of people in front of him.

Boy: "(Shoves blade into the ground) What do you want!"

To be continued

???: "Is that it? That's how it ends."

Celeri: "(Closes and folds comic) Yes that's how it ends."

Janna: "So you made not just me but Jackie wait all so you could read some comic (grabs it out of Celeri's hands) that ends off on a cliff hanger."

Jackie: "Uh.... I'm pretty sure we made him wait longer."

Janna: "That's not the point... the point is that he was reading something that doesn't have anything else but this single comic and how it ends on a cliff hanger."

Celeri: "It was just something I found and thought why not until you both showed up (places comic down and then faces both ladies) So (claps hands together) you both ready to get studying."

Janna: "(Hugs and whispers in Celeri's ear) you know if you weren't the guy I liked I would have mugged you for even saying that as cheerful as you did (holds up Celeri's wallet she stole) well more than that."

Jackie: "(Reads title) Also why is it called Showdown anyway?"

Celeri: "(Shrugs as he places everything they all need down on the giant library table)."

Janna: "(Slumps down and sighs) Lets just get this over with so I can do more important things with my life."

And just like that both Janna and Jackie get to work on the problems Celeri put in front of them so he can see how to help them better and where they need the most help while also being forced to endure the wrath of two very bored girls who would love to be doing literally anything else all while not making any sort of noise.

Thankfully it doesn't last too long and they both finish which meant it was finally time for him to help them out and after about half an hour Celeri could see that anymore would cause more harm than good so he lets them both go as he starts cleaning up.

Janna: "Hey were going to the Taco place you comming."

Celeri: "(Thumbs up while cleaning)."

Janna: "Alright your paying (Waves goodbye with both her hand and his wallet)."

Celeri rolls his eyes as he packs everything away and starts to walk out the door and while he walks the camera pans down to his back pocket where he rolled up and stored the comic he was reading with the cover looking like the boy was smiling?


And that is all for now hope you all enjoyed and until next time stay safe and peace.
