Chapter 2

The flight to saint morning wasn't too beautiful. It rained half the way; they were attacked by a couple of mothbees and ended up crash-landing in the dirt at the front of a tan, stonewall. Azzuma got up first from the crash then went to help Estella.

"You okay?" he asked, "I hate those dumb bees, always trying to get you from behind."

"Yah, I'm fine, Azzuma, mind if i call you zuma?" she replied, "We should get some of those heal things in the shop before we get going."

"okay, you get the food, I'll get the armor."

They met up at the exit of the city and traded what they needed. Azzuma put on the armor and said, "Holy crap this thing is tight, I can hardly breathe"

"I think it looks cute", she said, "Plus this set looks weird."

After their conversation, the started walking to pumpkin town. They passed bangs, mias, and flybats. They reached the town and entered. "Think we should split up?" Azzuma suggested, "we could cover more ground. If anything goes wrong, yell."

"Okay, I guess."

Estella walked off to the houses while Azzuma headed for the Pumpkin fields.

In the fields, it smelt of rotten pumpkins and death. Azzuma walked through the fields and turned to the sound of something moving. Out of nowhere a gang of Mr. Pumpkins appeared, rushing for Azzuma. He started to run for his life, yelling "Estella!" but she didn't show up. Just as the giant was about to attack the assist, a staff flew through the air, hitting the giant in the head as it fell down. The other Pumpkin heads looked around stunned and surprised. Azzuma looked up at the hill where he saw a mage. "YES! It is time to be saved by the might... Azzure!"

"Thanks man" Azzuma said, "good thing you showed up."

"Your welcome assist" Azzure replied, hands on his hips, "Fear not for I am the hero known as Azzure the all mighty!"

Azzure slid down the hill and helped up Azzuma.

"Uhm, you can take on the giant again right?"

"WHY YES!"

"Then turn around"

Azzure turned around and look at the angry giant and his army. "I have an idea."

Azzuma said, "Let's run."

They started running through the fields jumping over the fences when Azzuma tripped on a small box. "Aha!" He said, then got up and ran for the town. "Estella! Time we get out of here!" He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her through the town.

"I have an idea." Estella said, "Maybe we can hide on the roof and attack from up there."

"Worth a shot," Azzuma said.

He helped Estella onto the roof and told Azzure to climb for himself.

Estella started to prepare her yo-yos while Azzuma started getting ready for an aerial attack. Azzure was drooling over Estella... "Azzure, start using spells, we're a bit screwed right now. And stop mental raping Estella!"

"I was not"

"Right..."

"Both of you shut up!" yelled Estella and started picking off the pumpkins.

"Fine", Azzuma jumped off the roof onto the giants back and started smashing at his head. Azzure was taking them on with water spells.

ten minutes passed when they finally finished fighting. By that time they had leveled ten times. "That-" Azzuma said while he smashed the last one's head, "-was fun. What next?"

The next day, Azzuma showed up to Azzure and Estella to show them what he had bought. "This better be good, Estella and I are going somewhere later", Azzure said, "so what'd you get?"

Azzuma held up his tickets to Coral Island and gave both of them a letter with it. "Got 'em in the mail, plus I had to deliver this mail..." Azzuma grumbled, "Oh hell, we should go to get to 60 guys, so we can become our classes. Just 10 more levels to go."

"Nice, Azzuma, We'll get ready soon," Estella said, "Meet you two there"

"See ya guys there" And then, Azzuma disappeared.

It was a couple hours before they became sixty and began to split up into their quests. Azzuma got lucky and found his Guardian Knuckle before going and also managed to snatch about four million penya in the area. Estella got a Guardian Bow and her yo-yos, while; Azzure only got a random staff and four million penya. Azzuma went for the drillers ASAP because there was going to be a hold up on monsters because rush hour was coming soon. It took him a couple minutes to get what he needed with his friends and they went their separate ways until their jobs. Estella easily found Ren and Sisif, while, Azzure found his feather and the perfume. Azzuma was having a bit of trouble finding the steamwalkers. He had been searching for some time and was getting tired until, he found a guide who was standing outside darkon. Sadly, it was a scam and he cursed to the guide and flew off. "This is hopeless," He said, "I'll never find them."

Just as he said that he heard a scream coming from the lake by Darkon one. He rushed there as fast as he could and saw a mercenary, girl hiding behind a tree from what seemed to be an elementor. "Hey, You!" He yelled to the elementor, "Who do you think you are!"

The elementor laughed and replied, "The name's Inkky, others call me Ink because that's all they can say before they die." And with that he said, "Who are you? Some kind of hero, because you seem pretty weak compared to me". He continued laughing and stepped closer to the mercenary.

"After her, your next kid, so I'll be fair. Here's your head start." before Azzuma could do anything, the tree lit on fire, burning the mercenary to death, "Head start's over." and he walked towards Azzuma.

Just then, as Inkky shot a fireball at Azzuma, a shield came flying through the air and deflected the hit. Inkky cursed. Out of nowhere, a knight fell from a nearby tree and attacked Inkky. The mage deflected hit his staff and punched the knight in the gut. The knight returned the blow in the face and kicked Inkky to the ground. Inkky cursed and started to run away while the knight stood there laughing. "He'll never learn, now will he", The knight said, "That I don't allow murderers around these parts."

"Who are you? Some superhero?"

"If want to call me that, okay. My name is Themuffinman, Defender of Madrigal."

"Mind if I call to TMM?"

"Not at all. What are you doing out here?"

"I was looking for the Steamwalkers."

"Their over there." He indicated a lake where there were at least ten steamwalkers roaming. "You are going to be a billposter i see"

"Pretty much, yeah."

"I can help with the boss if you would like."

"There's a boss?"

"Yes, and he isn't too easy."

"Okay then, thanks for your help, TMM." Azzuma said, "I guess I'll meet you at this boss."

"Till then, kid, till then."

And with that Azzuma went on his way.

"Son of a bitch!" Azzuma yelled when he saw the Venel Guardian, the boss he had to fight, "You sure I gotta fight that thing?"

"Yes, Azzuma, fight it now, talk later." Themuffinman said.

Azzuma slowly approached the monster, which stood four times his height with the head of a lion, body of a human and the legs of a goat. It roared at the sight of Azzuma's approach. He walked closer and closer to the monster, knuckle and shield ready. The beast roared and slashed it's claws at him. Azzuma ducked and tumbled to avoid the attack but it got him in the back. He got up and charged but the beast kicked him down, picked him up and threw him into the wall. Azzuma was stunned for a second but he caught himself after he saw the monster get closer and closer. He got up and punched it so hard in the leg it crippled over and Azzuma got it straight in the head, putting it out of consciousness. Azzuma acted fast and killed it, getting what he needed, the heart. He took a deep breath and started to head for the job heroes. "Finally... Done..." Azzuma panted, "now to meet the others in Flaris." Before he left Themuffinman handed him a small box.

"Open it in town." He said, "it'll be useful later on"

"I will."

"One last thing."

"What?"

"If you see Inkky and your ready to take him on, don't."

"Yes sir."
