In another time...In another life...
"MAN THE CANNONS!" Captain Eugenio Batista shouts in a deep and growling voice to his men "DO NOT LET THEM IN!" the once pristine clothes this man had while he was in the navy were now drenched in an unsightly mixture of rainwater and sweat "KILL THE UNGODLY WHORES THAT BOARD HER DECK, LET THE WATERS OF THE SEA EAT THEM ALIVE" His accent became more apparent as he got more riled up, a thick Spanish accent crawling out from his vocal cords "TAKE NO PRISIONERS, DO NOT GIVE THEM THE JOY OF OPPORTUNITY"
As he shouted a black ball goes through the hull of the ship, sending men tumbling down as the mighty vessel lies on her side for a few seconds before turning upright once again, splinters flying into sailors faces while shouting became the new mean of communication, just as Eugenio Batista stood up and saw a thin and bony face, dressed in royal garbs, looking mockingly at the captain.
"You..." Batista said as his face swelled in anger, so many times had this man crossed the line and turned scot free, so many times had he wished that his next of kin died, so many times had he wished only a fourth of the pain that he himself had received was turn to him in an act of benevolence from the gods.
"We...WE END THIS HERE YOU DISGUSTING MONSTER" Eugenio Batista -Father of two, Dutiful servant to the crown, Vengeful prisoner, and nicknamed "The Queen's Goat" - unsheathes a sword with a flintlock pistol attached to the blade, adorned in golden markings and made in such a way that the barrel was neither too heavy to downgrade handling or too light to be destroyed by the gunpowder stuck to it
Simon Batista was not having a good day.
"Me chupa la puta verga el malparido que invento las tormentas de arena" Simon said as he lowers his hood to prevent the incoming sand to hit his eyes, his voice being growly and deep, with his massive accent flooding in, he didn't had to hide the voice from no-one from here, nobody had to understand what he was saying right now
A robotic eye scans the horizon as it search for a stone tablet in between the dunes of the arid land that he resided a brutishly made GPS appearing on the corner of Simon's left eye, showing a small arrow were the supposed location of the tablet.
"C'mon it has to be here somewhere" Simon said as he looked at the GPS intently, getting closer and closer to the arrow until he was right on top of it. Guess the sand has been to rough on you pappy Simon thought to himself as kneeled down and started digging through the soft land, his massive metal arms basically shoving the sand away as he kept digging through the sand, making a half a meter hole until he sees a small plaque on the ground, firmly logged to the stone floor beneath the sand
HERE LIES AURELIO BATISTA
A VAGRANT, A CRIMINAL, AND A BURDEN TO THE POOR FAMILY THAT BROUGHT HIM IN
Simon sits on the side of the grave, digging a nice little hole right next to him so that his massive body could get close to the grave without sitting right on top of it
"Sup Pappy, brought you a taco, they didn't have veggie taco so I took out the meat for you" Simon says as he takes a small wrapped taco from his red and black striped buttoned shirt, leaving it on top of the stone tablet "thought I bring you a hat, you know for the sun, but that shit is too expensive and I gotta stop pampering you, like c'mon pops, stuff is happening and I gotta make my ass economically stable, y'know?" a silence fills the already fairly silent desert "C'mon Pappy don't be like that...Aight I'll bring you two tacos next time...No, not the hat...I don't care if it's a cheap hat, yo' head is too big for any hat anyways! I shouldn't even had brought the hat up, yo' never even weared hats!...Oh now cuz I start talking about hats, now, yo' want hats...fine, I'll bring yo' a hat, but don't expect me to bring you one of those Atlas imported hats for yo' busted-ass...I love you too paps..."
Just as Simon get's up, two combat boots stand in his way "Look at this freak, talking to ghosts!" More boots (and one pair of sneakers) start to approach the graveyard, two of them with bats trailing the sand "You're the Batista fuck aren't you?!"
Silence
"Answer me goddamit! unless you wanna to get your mouth shut...forever"
snirk
"What's that you fuck?! you laughing at me?! you want me to kill you huh?! they're paying a lot to bring your metallic butt to the auth-"
"hehehe...Oh man were you got those insults? Public radio show?" Simon says as he starts to get up to climb the mount, eliciting shouts and insults from the other pairs of boot -excuse me- thugs "...Two minutes" Simon says as he extends two fingers and shows his arm to the group "Your shit is gonna get caved in...two minutes"
Silence hits the sand as the thug that was talking to him shouts to his men "GET HIM"
Red like blood, the one who spills it contents right beside my face...
The hooded beast of a man extends his red metallic arms, that start spinning slowly as steam starts to secrete from them
White! the face of my opponents when they meet their solemn fate!
The arms start spinning faster and faster as Simon starts to get covered in a white cloud of steam, visibility becoming null from his position
BLACK the fucking skies! with the smell of gunpowder and necrosis of my enemies flesh!
"What are you waiting for?! GET HIM!" The head thug says as he points at the cloud of steam with his fingers, hordes of men start to run against the cloud, their weapons readied and with confidence and bloodlust on their face
YELLOW THE FILTH, THAT RUNS LIKE GODIVA WHILE HEADS ROLL like coins of...
"gooold" A deep voice sings from the inside of the cloud as a massive spray of red shoots upwards into the skies
the head thugs backpedals fiercely, shocked by the droplets of red falling in his face
Tonight Simon bathes in gold
