I began walking through the town on high alert as I saw the dagger like glares being thrown my way. My eyes were constantly analyzing everything that was going on around me and they narrowed at the sight of broken down shops and homes.
How much did the Legion destroy? How many lives did they ruin?
As I walked passed an alleyway, I saw a group of men stomping on something on the ground. I looked closer and saw it was a brat.
"Hey, bastards, get away from him!" I yelled as I shoved two of them to the ground.
The others looked at me with disdain as some pulled out weapons.
"Oooohhh, so the traveler wants to play hero, huh?" The guy had a long, almost rat like face as he pulled out a small knife and held it towards me with a cocky smirk.
"Tsk, arrogant bastard." I clicked my tongue in annoyance and an irk mark popped on rat's forehead.
"I'LL SHOW YOU ARROGANT, PRETTY BOY!!" Pretty boy? Really? Now I'm really annoyed.
One of the guys who had a really long nose held up a lead pipe and charged at me. I stepped back at the last second and kneed his stomach, causing him to double over. Another one quickly tried to sucker punch me, so I grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back then pushed him into long nosed.
They both fell to the ground in a heap. The two guys that I shoved down earlier came at me with their fist raised, so I fell backwards until I had my hands planted firmly on the ground then I raised my legs and spun around, soundly breaking their jaws with my heels.
The sound of something slicing through the air made me push my hands against the ground, propelling my body high into the air, narrowly missing the steel pipe that was aimed for my head.
Geez, this is what I get for protecting people!
I backflipped in midair and landed on the ground in a crouch, reaching behind me as eyed the 5 remaining men who now formed a semi circle.
"Take this! Super Special Teho Attack!"
A green disk whizzed through the air, hitting the men on the heads, effectively knocking them out cold. When that disk landed on the ground, it slowly stopped spinning to reveal the disk was actually a turtle shell! Oh, what a shocker!
Teho stuck his head out his shell, blinked once then stuck his arms and legs out. He walked towards me and started climbing up my pants as I stood up all cool like.
"Teho, I almost lost you there... Let's never do that again, yeah?"
"You didn't have to help me... Idiot."
Hmm? I looked towards the voice and saw the little brat struggling to get up. He was wearing rags, his shaggy, unkempt, mocha brown hair was covering his face but you could see hints of his blue eyes, and he was clutching a loft of stale bread to his chest.
All in all, the kid looked like shit.
I walked towards him then crouched in front of him, preparing myself in giving him a cool, life changing speech. I willed the surrounding light to dim down and dark blue roses appeared behind me.
"What the hell...?"
"Listen, kid, sometimes in life... You gotta do things you're not proud of,"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"And as you grow up, you go through some things that make you want to give up on life, but you can't!"
"I don't think this has anything to do with me..."
