Chapter 22:

8: The Soul Within (1/3)

The Zypher: The Four Season



The day in Lenin was not that special as every day felt more and more similar for everyone. "Okay guys, who want 'man in coleslaw' or an explanation on why that's... Funny?" A small group came into the restaurant, "Uhm sorry fellas but you have... To leave since we are... Closed." The group made sure that the door was locked, "Luke... We're closed, Luke." Luke told his friend to take the others to the back while he dealt with the group, "Luke what do they..." Luke shouted telling them to go to the back, "well excuse me, Mother Bert... Jeez." Luke confronted the man with the top hat, "listen the Liziball (a spicy fish like pudding that is very popular on Lenin) was not a great success so there isn't much..." But they weren't after Luke's money but after him, one of them told another one of their own to go and eliminate the co-workers but Luke didn't allow it.

Luke fought the group recklessly killing them, one of them spoke in Yookui, "(you will never win) even if you kill us, more will come Cal." Luke replied in the same terminology, "(I will never lose Yookʊ̃ian scum, now chew on this!!)" Luke shoved something on the man's nose and shot him dead. "LUKE!!" Luke went to check if they were okay to see that they watched him kill the group, "Luke how did you do that?" Luke didn't know how he did it but had that feeling as if he did know, "and were you speaking Yookuian?" Luke denied that he was speaking Yookuian, "so then why are these people killing you?" Luke didn't know, "they called me Cal as if They saw me as someone else."

"(Gasp) someone who sells illegal substances." Luke looked at him, "when would I sell illegal substances, Liam? The 7 hours I sleep while the other 16 hours im on a hot ass grill!" Luke grabbed the bodies and sent them to the outside in an alleyway while ignoring Liam, "listen to me when im talking to you! I didn't know that working here was a burden to you!" Luke and Liam back inside and continued their argument, "well I don't see it as a burden but I do see it as more of a pain in the ass, mostly me is here working while you maker@ls are busy playing video games!" Luke put on a trenchcoat and took some Zonium out of the register, "you can't leave..." Liam protested but it was not enough for Luke to stay, "you guys are not safe as long as I am around and no buts Liam, Im going to find out who this Cal Sweus (meaning nincompoop) is and why these people are after him..." Luke left the restaurant, not looking back, "should we tell him or..." Liam nodded a no, "let us let him find out who he is... Cal is done anyway." Luke walked in the streets of Lenin, knowing that there are spies that are after him, Luke entered a small bar, "what'll be Cal?" Luke told the bartender that he was not Cal, "oh do beg me to pardon, it's just that you look like him except more pubescent... I suggest getting rid of that Beast Boy haircut." Luke left immediately after hearing gunshots near him, it seems that since his last encounters with those spies, this, in turn, made Luke's mind act hostile to anything around him, he looked at one of the tables and saw that there was a group of knights who were eating.

Luke watched from afar as a young girl who seem to be working with them pulled out her hand to get some food but instead was thrown to the wall, this immediately sent Luke in an angered state and immediately cut off one of the knight's fingers and ignoring him to help the girl, "you're all right?" He helped her stand up and gave scary glances to the knights, "I'll be taking this now... What you're going to tell your mommy off me?!" The knights felt taunted by what Luke was saying and were enraged, they tried to fight Luke but instead broke the tables and each had food shoved up their noses, it was not pleasant." He handed their money to the girl and asked if he wanted to join with her, "join with you on what?" Luke started to realize it and felt saying, "I don't know." Nonetheless, she accepted his offer and left the knights with fixing the tables and cleaning their dishes. "What the... Liam, I told you that you guys have to avoid opening the restaurant until I found out who this Cal jerk is!"
