For all readers of this story, this is written by my brother. I have helped a little. I have been busy but I will continue my story soon and I have another story coming soon, a more serious type.
Red hot sparks were flying as the hammer came down on the metal. The user of the hammer wore a lead apron and a black smith helmet to protect himself from the intense heat. He picked the hot metal with some tongs and cooled it in some water. When the steam had gone the creator admired his work. However his boss had another opinion of it.
"What the hell is this!" he yelled.
The creator lifted his helmet off his head and said, "It's the best work I've ever done!"
"Liu Bei, we are shoe makers, not blacksmiths!" the boss scolded.
Liu Bei held his metal shoes up and asked, "What's wrong with them?"
"Who'd wear freaking metal shoes," the boss said angrily.
"But they look good don't they?" Liu Bei asked anxiously.
"This is what I think of them," the boss said, grabbing the shoes. He then (somehow) ripped the shoes in half, threw them in a bin, lit the bin on fire and threw the bin in a river.
"Now get back to work!" he ordered Liu Bei. Liu Bei, saddened at what his boss had done returned to work.
After half an hour of pricking his thumb over and over again with a needle, a man ran past screaming, "PIRATES! PIRATES ARE COMING! PIRATES ARE COMING! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!"
As the screaming man ran down the street, Liu Bei said to himself, "This looks bad," "Every one," he shouted out the window, "We have to protect ourselves from the pirates".
"What are you doing!" his boss shouted.
"Saving the town," Bei answered.
"No your not. Now get back to work," the boss commanded.
Liu Bei then punched his boss in the face.
"Ow! Your fired!" the boss cried out in pain.
"Yeah, whatever. Now everyone, we have to protect ourselves," Bei shouted, ignoring his boss' curses.
"What about the town guards? Can't they protect us?" one villager asked.
"No, a few years ago they went on a tea break and never came back. So I'll make us some armour and weapons," Liu Bei explained. Then the town blacksmith glared at him. "Fine, the blacksmith will make the armour and weapons and I'll hand them out," Bei sighed.
THE PIRATES SHIP
"All right guys, ready to do some pillaging?" The captain of the pirates, Gan Ning asked.
"Yes," the second in command Zhou Tai answered.
"Yeah!" the crew shouted, with enthusiasm.
"All right, I'll stay here and Zhou Tai will lead the attack. Now go!"
Why aren't you coming," a pirate asked.
"Because I can't be stuffed," he replied
THE VILLAGE
"All right," Liu Bei said as he looked through his binoculars. "They have a much larger force than us. Half of you will try to lead them away. The other half will stay here with me and protect the village if you fail," Liu Bei explained the plan. "CHARGE!!!!"
THE PIRATES
"They defend?" Zhou Tai said with mild surprise.
"Who cares? They're only villagers, they can't beat us!" one pirate boasted.
"ATTACK!!!"
THE VILLAGE INN
"Damn pirates! Ping we have to hurry," A tall man with a long beard said.
"But dad, can't we fight?" his son asked.
"No Ping, we have to leave. Come on". As they left the inn, a bloated man staggered into Guan Yu.
"Watch where yooou're go'in," the overweight man was obviously drunk. "I'll haft a kill ya," He slurred.
"I don't have time for you," Guan Yu said impatiently and knocked him to the ground. Then a girl with shoulder length black hair came and helped the drunk to his feet.
"Sorry about this," The girl apologised. She had large, brown eyes. Guan Ping suddenly felt giddy and his heart started beating faster than normal.
"I suggest you leave this village like me and my son," Guan Yu grabbed Guan Ping and continued to flee.
"Father Look!" Guan Ping pointed at a man fighting the pirates. The man was thin and didn't appear to be very strong, but he was fast with his blade. The pirate was a head taller than the man and black covered his body. He had a scar on his left eye and he used a tachi as a weapon. The man attacked the pirate, but fell to the ground.
Guan Ping lifted his zanbato and ran to help the man.
"Ping!" Guan Yu shouted in frustration.
"Damn it!" Guan Yu cursed as he followed his son. The pirate noticed the new comers and greeted them with a flurry of lightning quick slashes.
"All right, a fight!" The fat man was now partly sober and he picked up his pike and joined the fight. His daughter sighed and followed her partly drunken father. The scarred pirate slashed Guan Ping's arm and he fell to the ground.
"What kind of son are you! You get into a fight and then one slash and you're down" Guan Yu said angrily.
"Thank you," Liu Bei said as the girl helped him to his feet.
"That's all right" she said, looking at her father fight. He was choking the scarred pirate with one hand and then threw him into a wall.
"I'm Xing Cai," the girl introduced herself. "And that's my father, Zhan Fei," she pointed to the fat guy.
"I'm Liu Bei and thank you Xing Cai and Zhang Fei," he said as the other men walked over to him. "What are your names," he asked.
"I'm Guan Yu and this is my son Guan Ping," the bearded man introduced himself.
"Well thank you and—what the hell is that!" Liu Bei pointed behind the others.
They turned to see an army of pirates heading their way, chanting, "PIRATES ROCK!!!" over and over again.
"Look! The village is on fire!" Liu Bei shouted.
"How did this happen!" Zhang Fei asked.
A FEW MINUTES AGO ON THE PIRATE SHIP
"Why did I stay behind? This is so boring! I'll just bang these rocks together to pass some time," a bored Gan Ning said to himself. A spark came of the rocks and landed on an oil covered cloth and it burst into flames. "OH SHIT!" Gan Ning shouted and picked it up and threw it out the window. "I hope that it doesn't start a serious fire".
OUTSIDE THE BURNING VILLAGE
"My village is gone," Liu Bei said with tears in his eyes. No one said anything as Liu Bei wept for his lost home.
"So what will you do now?' Guan Yu asked.
"Hunt those pirates down and obtain revenge."
"Sounds like fun! Mind if I join you" Zhang Fei asked.
"Dad!" Xing Cai said shocked.
"It'll be all right, I'll look after you," Zhang Fei reassured. Xing Cai sighed.
"I'll also help you. They took away your home and killed so many people. They deserve to be punished," Guan Yu said bitterly.
"All right dad!" Guan Ping said excitedly. Now he could spend more time with Xing Cai.
"Thank you," Liu Bei said, grateful.
"Well we'd better start figuring out were that ship is going," Guan Yu said.
"We should also gather the villagers to see if any one wants to help," Zhang Fei suggested.
"All right then," he would make sure that they would pay for what they had done.
Well that's the first chapter please review. I hope you enjoyed it.
