Chapter 9:

Uneventful Occurance (3/3)

The Zypher: The Four Season


"Boom... Bam... Pow!!! Ladies and gentlemen you are witnessing one hack of a fight from Cal Sweus, what pain shall we witness from him? ... The people have spoken!! Bring the bounty!" Cal was barely surviving after fighting the Armaof and the Lezwal, the bounty hunter (Attic Lin) emerged and immediately attacked, Cal ripped one of the Lezwal's long jaws and charged at Attic, "BOOM!!! Hahahaha, Sweus(Meaning Nincompoop) had a short landing from that!" The crowd ran wild for Attic, Cal was too weak to get up but somewhere, he felt he had been injected with a boost, he looked at his arm and saw that the Lezwal's poison was being drained by Cal, the teeth evaporated in front of him and with no time to react, he punched a hole in Attic, his blood was dripping on the ground and he fell onto the floor, the crowd was shocked.

"What... A... Performance by Cal Sweus... You saw it here folks, Cal Sweus has eliminated the best bounty hunter of Lenin, and... What are you talking about? Phen? She's here?" Maxwell looked outside and saw Phen's ship charging into the glass walls of the tournament, "shoot them down! I will have my revenge Phen, just wait... Wait what are you... No... No... Noon!!!" Cal heard Maxwell choking and signs of the blood being dripped, Phen landed in the center and opened the ship door, Cal entered the ship and they escaped, "thanks Phen, it was a nightmare there." Phen looked at Cal's arm and saw that it was covered in blood, "what happened to you?" Cal told Phen that he would explain it to her later but right now, he had to clean it. They returned to Phen's home which has now been destroyed by Phen herself.

"You guys had fun with it seems... What about Scura? Is he safe?" Both Marshall and Scura returned safe and sound, Cal was relieved that Scura wasn't dead, "we're glad to kid, right now, we have to find out what this means." Cal pointed out something while he was in the Tournament, "technically they're colosseums but I'm not going into that much." As Cal was saying, "When I was battling Attic, the teeth I ripped out from this creature, at first I thought it started to inject poison in me but I realized that my body was absorbing it and som3what made me super aware at everything around me when I least expect it, then I found myself puncturing a hole in Attic's chest, the next thing I knew, he was lying on the ground. I felt strong at first, but the longer I kept it, it began to start... I can't describe it, I don't know how to describe it."

Scura assured him that it was okay, "there are things that you know you can't be ready for, it will take time and patience, trust, so believe me when I say that buddy." Cal felt encouraged thanks to Scura but felt it wasn't time to tell them what he had to experience. "All I can tell you right now is that it felt dark as if something was crawling its way to me." Cal looked at the City of Lenin and felt like there was more that has to be done here, "well Cal, this is where we say our goodbyes." Cal didn't understand what Marshall was talking about, "the thing is Cal, we killed the Crime boss and now we are in charge of the crimes that take place, me and Marshall can be this city's hope and justice."

"That means, I won't see you guys again, I want to say no but this city is in ruins, life isn't fair for these people." Scura and Marshall couldn't agree more with Cal and they hugged him goodbye, "you won't forget us right?" Cal started to tear up, "I will never forget the most important people in my life." Cal and Phen went back inside the ship and they prepared for departure, Cal watched in the window as Marshall and Scura waved goodbye. "Where to Captain?" Phen looked at Cal and smiled, "wherever you're taking me." Phen's ship started to malfunction, 'error, error, ship controls are being hacked, I repeat, ship controls are being hacked'. "It can't be!" Cal was confused about who Phen was referring to. "Miss me?" Phen became scared of who she saw, "Oxmall!" The ship started to uncontrollably damage parts of the ship and it crashed on a little planet. Phen was unconscious while Cal managed to survive, Cal grabbed Phen and got her out of the broken ship, Cal put her on the ground while the ship exploded into millions of pieces.

Cal looked around to see if there were any signs of help. Phen miraculously woke up to see her ship in pieces, she wasn't upset about what occurred but more about who caused it, "Markuz Oxmall... He was an old friend of mine until he recklessly destroyed the lives of others, he didn't care what he did but rather why he should do it, been trying to find me since me and him... Dated once... He just doesn't learn the word no." Cal felt like her story was just bogus, "If this Markuz guy is after you so then why would he do something like this? I mean he would have known that this ship is important to you so why?" Phen questioned herself, "that is true so then what is his motive?" Then a big ship came landing on top of Phen's decomposed ship and came out was Markuz. "I think we need to talk."
