POWER: A Tale of Greatness

CHAPTER 10

As he strode out of the house, Bulls' lost temper began to come back, his calm had grown far from him moments ago as the old man spoke truthfully to him. If he stayed, he knew he would be irrational, unjust, emotional, and his anger would control him.

"Guardian, let's go!" He growled as he quickly walked past the android.

Thor ran towards him, "Human, where must we go now?"

Bulls turned around, "To Estuaria."

"Sir, we can't go if both of you are still physically tired from our journey–"

"That's better than being emotionally exhausted, Guardian." His pace remains unchanged as he leads them down the path.

Thor quickened his pace, "I believe that you should have given the old man a chance to–"

"I gave him the chance, that's it."

"Then, why must you act comparable to a kid?"

Bulls turned to face Thor, "Because I am still a kid!" he exclaimed with a crackled voice, tears shedding from his eyes, "... a kid whose parents died before his eyes..."

Guardian ran and stood between the two.

"I have forgiven him because who am I to plant the seed of grudge and vengeance to the man who betrayed my father if he has already forgiven that man?" He pointed back at the house, "I openly forgave him, Thor."

"Then what is it that made you cry?"

"I don't kno–" he stutters, "n - nothing, I just have to let these emotions go or else I might act outrageously and ruin things before my very eyes then regret it later on. I am a rational person, so I must act like one, but I can also be emotionally weak sometimes, so for now, let me be, please." He asked them.

Thor nods, "Understood."

"As you wish, Sir," Guardian said in a calm tone.

Bulls wiped his tears and turned against them, "Thank you for understanding."

They took the same route, led by Bulls down the little valley, but something was wrong, like eyes are watching them from afar, Bulls and Thor could feel it.

The an unknown threat lurking around, they continued to walk, but with greater precautions–they heightened their senses.

Bulls felt a familiar sensation throughout his body. His heart skipped a beat. Goosebumps formed above his skin as it tensed up spontaneously. A tingling sharp pain also snaps from within his head.

"Thor, be alert."

Thor nodded, "I am well aware that your senses are strong enough to feel that displeasing sensation."

Bulls nodded back as a response. He looked far into the distance behind the tall trees, and movements could be observed. "Guardian, load your pulses." He cracked his knuckles, his face blankly staring at the distance, and his eyes reflected the pain he felt. "Looks like we're not leaving this country without getting ourselves into trouble."

Guardian retracted its arms, reforming them into blasters. "Locked and loaded, Sir."

Armed and ready, they calmly walk towards the gate. Cold winds blew from behind them, several clouds were spread across the blue sky, dark, low clouds–a storm was brewing. Down they went into the valley, keeping their senses sharp, prepared to leave the place whatever happens, however, before they could reach the gate of the junkyard, a group of men, wearing black suits and slacks, with a blue and gold ribbon on their chest pocket, armed with high caliber guns surrounded them.
