The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 46 - My Gift to You

Last chapter, the story went back to Seric and the others who recklessly broke down the front door to Virile's mansion. The man then came out with his goons in tow, and sent them to fight off the intruders while he himself stands inactive for some reason. But, it only led to Karia- although mainly King Metallica wiping out the vast majority of the brown vested men, with King Metallica using his third sphere "Metallic System" to do so.

Seric's P.O.V.

"Uh, by the way I know you explained it a little bit, but how do your spheres work if they're not even a Blesssing?" I ask even though I and everyone else probably already know the answer in order to hopefully get him off of me as he continues to hug me for some reason.

"Oh, you mean those bad boys? I already explained it to you did I not my foolish pal? A nice ol' scientist used Hopian's sweet tech a while back and somehow made em' for me, and then he implanted A.L.L. O.F. T.H.E.M. inside me! You saw me use the cooler version of our own Solar System, my Metallic System right? That handy dandy little trick allows me to turn any person I hold into the center of my own mini solar system, and causes any other peopl-anets to be sucked into them in a orbit due to the gravitational field it produces!" He explains happily as he's still hugging me. I try to pat his back to gesture for him to stop, but it's to no avail. This is awkward.

Before I can respond he blurts out, "Well then! Now that those foolish peasants have paid for their horrid crimes, it's time for you to get right into the mix too my great pal in training!" King Metallica says as he finally stops hugging me and instead stands back up and starts pointing at my forehead with his metal finger.

"Aw shit. He remembered." I think to myself with an internal lifeless groan.

"Uh, but, uh... Ah! All of the guys were involved with the terrible act of knocking your mighty, precious crown off of the top of your head, so shouldn't they all be punished by you?" I try to weasel my way out of fighting as I make a gesture with my hands and raise my eyebrows in anticipation.

"..." King Metallica seems to ponder the fact for a moment as he stares right into my soul with his small black pupils.

"B.O.Y.! Stop spewing this cowardly T.R.A.S.H. and get your measly self out there already before I shatter this stupid piece of technology you're cheating on me with!" King Metallica scolds me as whips my Recluse 2P from his pocket, threatening to drop it as he starts to furiously tap his exposed foot on the sand.

"Ugggghhhhhhhhhhhhooooahh you know what fine, fine I'll fight! The useless-in-combat Seric at your service I guess!" I say shakily but very, very happily with much "enthusiasm" of course.

"Great! You'll be a King like me in combat in no time!" He says as a wide grin crawls onto his lips.

"There they are. Are all of my men really this slow? Pathetic." Virile says coldly for some reason, and looking behind us in the distance between the many buildings, many more of the panting brown vested men are running towards us as reinforcements.

"Uh, you're gonna help me out a bit, right?" I ask him nervously, scared of the answer knowing him.

"Of course of course I'll be right behind you pal! So will our purple haired pal, right pal #2?" King Metallica asks, and when there's no response he and I start to look around with her STILL being nowhere in sight.

"Ok this is getting stupid now where the hell did this supposed ninja even go?!" I shout out quietly in frustration, starting to contemplate whether or not I should ask Virile if he's seen her at this point. That was a joke. He scares me.

"Ah so be it, I suppose fate is just begging me and you to get some classic duo action going don't you think so?!" He says with excitement as he starts to bang the side of his head once again, murmuring "pesky devil" to himself over and over.
