Chapter 18 - Cattle Capture

[After finally gathering the long awaited information from Nihonshu,the Western Rebels now needed to break out of Runner's Up but the only way they could is with the Blade of Light(Tomoki's weapon).They must play each and everyone of James's games so that Tomoki can receive his weapon.Will they be able to survive?]

Morning had arrived and the gang was greeted by a masked guard handing them some bread with water.This was their breakfast.After they finished their meal,they made their way to the restroom to use the toilets.To wash their bodies,cold water was poured on them by a guard.After their ''bath'',they are taken back to their cells were they patiently waited to be called up to play a game.

Yoshio: ''This place...FUCKING SUCKS!!! LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE ONLY GET ONE BUCKET OF WATER TO BATHE IN AND THE WATER IS COLD.DON'T GET ME STARTED ON BREAKFAST,ONE BREAD AND A CUP OF WATER?? I MEAN COME ON,THIS PLACE IS SUPPOSE TO BE RICH BECAUSE OF THE GAMBLING BUT THEY FEEDING US LIKE WE'RE ANTS!!''

Nihonshu: ''Because we are''

Yoshio: ''Pardon?''

Nihonshu: ''In 'The Dealers' eyes we are nothing but ants trapped in his sick,twisted game''

At that moment 4 masked guards walked in and unlocked the cell.They grabbed Rinku while the rest of the gang was escorted to the observation seats.The time has come for yet another miserable game...

James: ''Ahhh...Welcome again Western Rebels,hope your buddy Rinku is ready for his game!!''

Tomoki: ''What is the game called?''

James: ''Wow no greetings I see...Just straight to the point''

Yoshio: ''You sick man how could you!!''

James: ''What? Feeling bad that your blind friend has to compete in a game?''

Yoshio: ''NO!!HOW COULD YOU ONLY GIVE US ONE BREAD WITH A CUP OF WATER!! DO YOU REALIZE HOW EVIL YOU ARE??''

James: ''Shouldn't you be worried that your blind friend is going to play a suicidal game?''

Yoshio: ''Why should I be worried? He is going to win the game either way?''

James: ''Oh I wouldn't feel too confident considering that Rinku has to go up against an opponent this game''

Tomoki: ''Wait..What opponent?''

Walking on the arena being escorted by 5 guards was a man,7 ft 1 tall man with muscles the size of boulders,the body shaped like a bear,hair that was surprisingly silky smooth but a face of many scars.His name...Was Tiny.

Yoshio: ''That motherfucker is not tiny....''

Tomoki: ''Well 'Black eyes' is already dead,rest in piece Rinku''

Rinku: ''HAVE SOME FAITH IN ME BITCH!!''

James: ''CAN YOU'LL PLEASE SHUT UP SO I CAN EXPLAIN THE GAME!!''
''The name of the game is called 'Cattle capture',the rules are simple,on a train,there is one single cattle.Both contestants have to race on their horses to catch up to the train and capture the cattle,bring it back to the arena before the timer runs out''
''The winner gets to live...''

Tomoki: ''What about the loser?''

James: ''The loser won't be making it back because in order to win the game,you have to kill the other contestant..''

Yoshio: ''So wait let me get this straight...Not only are you sending in a blind man (whose rival is freaking bigfoot) to capture a cattle on a speeding train but also he has to kill the same person he is up against to win the game and on top of that bring a freaking cow here?

James: ''Yeah pretty much,why do you think there is no audience today?Nobody is going to sit in an empty arena while those 2 are outside the city''

Tomoki: ''Wouldn't they just escape because they will be out of the town?''

James: ''I figured that would happen.That's why there are guards watching them till the train,so even if they try to escape,they will be shot before they can say 'Tia is a stupid name'.''

Yoshio: ''Why the fuck would they say that?''

James: ''Because Tia is stupid..''

Nihonshu: ''No he is just salty because his ex's name is Tia and she dumped his ass''

Yoshio: ''Really?? Who she left him for?''

Nihonshu: ''The better question is who wouldn't she leave him for?''

James: ''ONE MORE WORD AND I PROMISE YOU NIHONSHU,I'LL TAKE YOUR GUITAR AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS''

Nihonshu: ''Still won't bring her back tho"

Yoshio: ''Anyway....How long is the timer?''

James: ''1 hour...''

Both contestants got on their horses and were each given a rope to capture the cattle.Tiny looked at Rinku with blood-lust,Rinku could not see Tiny...Well...Because he was blind...The bullet was fired and off they went.Rinku was in the lead,speeding past rocks,boulders and cacti,Tiny was last due to his weight.Rinku did not know where he was going but trusted that the horse will lead him.Suddenly he heard the train and instantly knew he was on the right path.The horse brought him closer to the train,unfortunately Tiny was right behind him.They both boarded the train at the exact same time,their horses left them behind as the train moved...

Just then,Tiny grabbed Rinku and flung him against the train wall.He pulled out the seats attached to the train and immediately started slamming it against Rinku.Blood was pouring out of Rinku's mouth,his body was getting more and more damaged.Tiny still slamming the seats against him.Rinku kicked Tiny's leg so he could try and escape but that did not phase Tiny at all.Tiny grabbed Rinku and threw him into the place where the cattle was.As Tiny entered the cabin,he saw that the train was headed for a mountain,it was going to crash with them inside if they did not escape...

He grabbed the cattle with his bare hands and tossed it out of the speeding train.Ground beef.Just when he was about to jump off,Rinku threw some hot coal he got from the conductor's car.He then grabbed his rope attached to his belt and tied Tiny's hands while he was trying to cool himself.Rinku was going to make a run for it until Tiny knocked him back with his body towards the conductor's car.Tiny was furious,he started to charge towards Rinku like a bull.Rinku started to feel the vibrations of the train and sensed that Tiny was charging at him,he waited until Tiny was close enough then dodged Tiny's attack.Once Tiny passed him,Rinku (with all his might) kicked Tiny into the fire place where the coal was burning,causing Tiny's face to burn and lose some of his skin.Rinku then proceeded to remove his glasses and stare at Tiny dead in the eyes.He opened his mouth and uttered the following words...

''You cannot stop your pain by hurting others.That's why you are suffering in the first place''

Rinku jumped out of the train while Tiny stood there still almost like a statue.The train crashed into the mountain causing a huge explosion,Rinku tried to find the cattle but it was no use.Without his vision,he couldn't find it.He tried listening to the noises around him but there was no luck.With only 20 minutes left on the timer,Rinku was in trouble...

Back at Runner's Up,there was only 2 minutes left.There was no sign of Rinku,all the Western Rebels were worried.James started to laugh believing he already won this game until...With one minute left,Rinku entered the arena riding the cattle.The Western Rebels started cheering him on while James Thorne punched the table furiously.The game has come to an end...

[Rinku Won]
