Budder Rising: A Hero's Legacy

Chapter Three : Plan

We made it to the base Mercedees was walking about, they took Mia to ask her questions. Jessica went over to Fisher to help him out, and Abby went over to the sleeping quarters. I couldn't sit still, I needed to find Fan. After what she did to Dani, I was pissed. I found Mercedees with Mia, so I decided to ask.

"Hey Mercedees" I said

"Hey Dash, what's up?" Mercedees asked

"Do have any whereabouts on Fan's location?" I asked

"No, I do not...sorry" Mercedees replied

"It's alright, I thought I ask" I responded

I waved goodbye and left the room, dammit! I needed to find her! I then remembered the potions, I slipped them out of my medieval coat pocket, I thought long and hard on Dani's last words.

"If you drink these, or have any...contact with this...liquid...it will make you stronger"

I pushed the tears away, I need to use these as a last ditch effort. Fisher might know a little about them so I thought I ask. I made my way over to Jessica and Fisher, they were working on some sort of clothing.

"Hey Fisher, can I ask you something?" I asked

He pushed his chair back

"Yeah sure, what is it?" He replied

I took out the potion and handed them to him.

"I got these from...a friend back in the world I was trapped in. I was wondering if you can tell me what they are" I said

"If it's from another world...then I can't help, but I know one thing" Fisher said

He paused.

"Don't use them" He said flatly

"W...why?" I asked

"What are you an idiot?! That comes from a different universe created by Fan, I don't know much but I do know is that if you use that, it can bring our entire universe to ruin, or worse you! You could be completely wiped out from existence!" Fisher cried

"W...wiped out?!" I asked

"Let's use a game as an example, let's say you used that potion. Our world's timeline or universe was set up in a way where you were never intended to use that, so it thinks of you as a foreign entity or a bug if you will, so it will start to patch itself up and in turn, delete you." Fisher explained

"Isn't that called a time paradox though?" I asked

"In this instants, no. Since it's not having anything related with time, somewhat, but you could call it that if you want. I don't know much of what Fan can do" Fisher replied

I stood there trying to absorb all the info given to me.

"I need to go for a walk, I need to process all this information " I said

"Alright, but be careful. I heard Fan's men could be in this area, I don't want you blowing the cover we have" Fisher said

"Got it" I said, walking away

I left the building and made it outside, walking around with my hands in my pockets, I saw something in the distance. There was a figure looking at me, due to the shadows I couldn't see it's face.

"Took you long enough..." I said coldly

The figure giggled and ran off, I couldn't waste this chance, he will be avenged. I was going to finish this! I took off after the figure, the figure lead me to what used to be a plaza, but now it's just an open area with rubble and destroyed buildings. I made my way out into the open, and I finally saw the figure finally decided to show its face.

"it's rude to leave your date waiting~" Fan swooned

She turned around, smiling. It made me sick.

"I'm sorry, did you need all that time to dry your tears?" Fan laughed

"Shut up bitch!! I'm here to avenge Dani!" I shouted, holding up my fists

Fan was taken back by my choice of words, but then she looked down laughing.

"There he is~" Fan said

The air went still and silent, this was it. Screw everything else, I was going to kill her! I shouted as I ran over to Fan, ready to throw my leg into her, but...

"..!!"

She took out the axe she used back in the other world, she still has that thing!! I needed to block her attack, but how.

"Dammit!!" I shouted

I flipped into the air sideways to flip to my right side. I stuck out my arm to block the blow, that's when it hit me. I didn't get this thing repaired, it didn't matter, it was too late to turn back. Her axe slammed into my fake arm. Which caused me to spin around into the air and flew me back into a building, for a girl without a strength power she threw me pretty far. I fell down to the ground, landing on my back with a thud. I began to sit up when I heard Fan laughing, she flew towards me ready to attack. The blow from before made my fake arm unusable, I then remembered the sword on my back. I wasn't one to use swords but it was the only way I'd block her attack, reaching with my left hand over to my right side, I managed to pull the sword out. I shot off with my foot and slammed my sword into Fan's axe.

"Rrrragghh!!" I cried

I managed to push her off, sending her into a row of buildings. I was ready for her to come charging back out, but all I saw was a long metal chain coming right for me. It was a hook! I implanted itself into my stomach, I coughed just as the chain shot me into the air. As I reached the chains arc peak, I saw Fan jump out towards me.

"Ngh!!" I groaned, trying to get lose from the hook.

It was no good though, Fan tipped sideways to have her foot slammed into my stomach. I cried out as I felt the hook go deeper, just for it to be ripped out due to the force of gravity. I sped down to earth and hurled into the cement. I could move for a while, I was in too much pain and was bleeding out from my gut.
