The Year 2718

Chapter 4 The Awkward Fight

Chapter 4

With a clash, Neo's axes hit The Stranger's sword. And so, the battle starts. They continue to fight as Kirt watch from the safety of the jeep. The fight continued for at least half an hour. Neo suddenly slipped and The Stranger stabed him. Neo's wound quickly healed around the sword. The Stranger couldn't pull it out.

"W-wait, just let me-" The Stranger began to pull at the sword. "I-it's stuck. Let me just-" The Stranger started to push it through until his hand was inside. "I-it's stuck."

"Just push the sword through then pull your hand out." Neo told him.

"I've never played with someone's heart before."

"I wish you wouldn't."

The stranger looked up at Neo and started to poke his organs.

"Stop messing with my organs." Neo warned him.

"Why?" The Stranger asked. "What are you going to do about it?"

"I'm gonna jump."

"Don't do it."

"I'm gonna do it."

"I could just kill you right now."

"No you can't."

"Watch me. I can just- Wait, my arm's stuck."

"I can just burn your arm."

"No you can't."

"Yes I can. I can move my stomach. Watch." Neo started to lift his stomach.

"Whoo!" The Stranger shouted. "That's a close one! You do know you'll turn canible from this?"

"Not if I didn't chew."

"Back in my day-"

"No one cares about you day."

"I care about my day."

The sun started to set behind the hills. Neo began to shrink as he became Night Neo. He looked down in surprise.

"What- what's this?" He asked.

"It's my arm." The Stranger answered. "Try to keep up."

"Just-just hold still." Neo began to turn upside down.

"Don't do that!" The Stranger yelled. "My arm is hurting!"

"Just hold still and let me do this!"

"Your skin has healed around my arm. I can not move it. You move, I move. Wait! How about...I start playing with your organs. We'll see what happens."

"Don't touch my organs!"

"Well, maybe they're ticklish."

"I don't think I'm ticklish."

"You don't know till you try."

"Just-just." Neo turns himself right side up.

"I think-I think if I cut a hole around my arm."

"Don't do that. Just let me cut your arm off."

"Don't. I can't regenerate."

"Then just pull."

"Just get a sharp knife, or stick, so that I can cut my arm out."

"Just pull."

"I might pull your stomach out or something."

"Just-just." Neo tugged at The Stranger's arm.

"What are you going to do about it? You're in the air."

"Then put me on the ground."

"How about I lay you on the ground, put my foot on you, and pull my arm out."

"Don't you touch me."

"How can I not touch you? My hand is inside you, so it is literally impossible not to touch you."

"Don't use logic against me."

"I'm using common sense."

"Well stop it!"

"Well how about I rip you in half then? Lets see if you survive that?"

"If you put me back together."

"Why would I do that? the point of this exercise is to get my arm out. Not if you'll live."

"Alright! That's it!" Neo starts to push himself off of The Stranger's arm.

The Stranger starts to push Neo also and they get his arm free. The Stranger's arm was completely covered in bloody.

"Alright...Well...As much fun as this was, I'm going to take my jeeps, and leave." The Stranger picked up his sword and began to leave

"No, no, no!" Neo shouted. "These are my jeeps."

"No. These are mine." The Stranger replied. "I have an idea. I'll give you these jeeps if I get to play with your stomach."

"It hurt plenty getting it out."

"And I get to find out why you can regenerate."

"I'll give you a blood sample."

"You're blood sample won't work."

"How about a tissue sample."

"Nope! I need brain tissue."

"No! No, no, no, no!"

"Well...why? I know surgery. I can put it back. I can even put a smiley face on it. Or make it permanently drunk."

"I don't want to be drunk. I don't want a smiley face either. It'd be cool, but no."

"Well then a...I need a brain tissue."

"No."

"How about I give you guns...and stuff."

"What kind?"

"The kind that you pull the trigger and...boom."

"We have plenty of stuff in the jeep."

"Fine! One cell! that's it!"

"That's all I need. And you won't feel a thing."

"That's a lie."

"No it's not. You'll be knocked out."

"Do I get a say in this?" Kirt asked.

"No! This is my brain!" Neo answered.

"Shut up shorty pants! You have no say in this!" The Stranger shouted.

"Hey! I'm not short!" Kirt shouted back." I'm average height. You are all giants."

"You're averagely short." The Stranger replied.

"I don't like you! Neo! I don't like him!" Kirt shouted.

"Hey! Stop picking on shorty." Neo warned The Stranger.

"Hey!" Kirt shouted.

"She started it."  The Stranger replied.

"HEY!" Kirt yelled.

"Hay's for horses and cows like you!" The Stranger sang.

"I'm gonna kill you! Neo, I'm kill him!" Kirt shouted.

"You do realize I had my fist in Neo's gut?"

"I fight differently than him."

"I can just shoot you."

Kirt glared at The Stranger. "I hate you on all kinds of levels."

"Alright! That's it!" Neo shouted. "You!" Neo pointed at the man. "One cell, that's it! We get all kinds of stuff."

"Fine." The Stranger agreed. "Let's go to a town. It's been years."

"There is a tavern near by." Neo replied.

"Then lets go get drunk!" The Stranger added.
