Chapter 2
What happened?
Disclaimer: Is in chapter 1'Gone? Or New?'
Zak's p.o.v.
Just as Piecemeal leaped at Wadi…
My eyes went wide when I saw Piecemeal flying toward Wadi, his freakish jaws extended forward as he seemed to slowly fly at her. That's when I felt it. A warmth, so new yet so familiar at the same time, I felt it spread threw my body as though it were a wild fire and I was a mass of coal. I didn't fight it anyway, in fact I completely ignored it. I was focused on one thing, the one thing every fiber of my being was screaming at me to do. PROTECT MY WADI!
Before I know it, I was running full tilt at Piecemeal, intent on ramming right threw him. I only managed to knock the wind out of him and slam him into a tree… hard. His pained roar was an early warning that he was still conscious enough to attack again. Before he can do anything , I jumped back a few feet and grabbed the claw from it's place on my belt, extended it and jabbed Piecemeal right in the stomach with it, successfully pinning him to the tree. I heard movement behind me, signaling that Wadi is ok, or I hope she is.
After another much harder jab, that left him kneeling over in pain while holding his stomach, I was able to turn to Wadi long enough to say, "Run Wadi! Get My Mom and Dad!".
I hear a twig snap behind me, causing me to whirl around only to see Piecemeal about to swing at me with a really bumpy log and managed to avoid the blow with an immediate duck.
I notice Wadi is still there as she's about to say something ,"But Zak! I can help-", though she didn't get to finish.
"GO NOW!", I yelled while still facing Piecemeal. I wasn't mad at Wadi for staying, I could never be mad a her, not even when she used to take my belt. But I was worried for her, and I couldn't have her trying to protect me only by putting her self in danger. I love her. At that thought I feel a wave of emotions wash over me. Love, for Wadi. Anger, at Piecemeal for attacking Wadi. Determination, to protect Wadi from Piecemeal.
I can't tell you how relieved I was when Wadi turned and ran back the way we came. The farther she was from Piecemeal's crazy ass the safer.
As I readied myself for another attack I then notice the glowing yellow scale like pattern on my skin and what I think is orange energy coming from around my eyes.
Well…this is new…
Wadi's p.o.v.
When she ran…
'I'm so pathetic! How could I leave Zak to face that strange man alone? He could be hurt, or worse…', I stopped running at that thought and nearly collapsed on the forest floor. 'No! He told me to get his parents so they could help him, he can protect him self until they get there, I on he can. I believe in him. I…I love him.' That thought. That wonderful thought is what fueled my legs as they carried me threw the forest toward my destination at a more fierce speed despite the aching in my thighs…'Why is it so hot all of a sudden?'
Stopping against a wall I lean against it in an effort to hold myself up while looking back. Before I could turn around fully my hand slid over something smooth and cold. Turning back around, I almost cheered when I saw the com link there on the wall, keyword almost. That's also when I heard it.
"Aw!" At that, all the faith I had for Zak's safety went away faster than the sweat fell from my face.
Turning back to the complicated device, I starting to pound random buttons yelling, "Turn on damn it! Why don't you work?".
After a moment I noticed the red button near the top of it labeled on.
"Oh…"
Zak's p.o.v.
'What hell was that?' That was all I could think as I dodged another swing from Piecemeal and smacked him across the back with the claw. I was about to go for a swing at his gut as he arched his back and left his stomach exposed ,but before I could swing again I felt it happen again.
A killer wave of pain shot threw my entire body at once and this time I dropped, or rather threw, the claw as my body convulsed and I collapsed to my knees from sudden exhaustion.
This was not good as Piecemeal turned to me with a "Time to die" look on his face as he quickly grabbed me by my neck and my shirt.
"Shit. I'm so dead right now aren't I?" Hey, I'm never one to be blunt in the face of death am I?
His only answer just so happened to be a, supposed to be, evil smirk. And with that he threw me, twelve or so feet, into the air facing skyward.
I was expecting to hit the ground so hard that everything would go black and that would be it, but No, because half way down a huge fist slammed into my stomach and sent me past the speed of sound the last six feet…
THUD!(Resounding echo)
And ten inches seeing as how I am now two inches below the surface of the dirt in a, very handsome, Zak shaped whole.
And yet I don't, and didn't, feel any pain not even when his fist hit m. Though I did feel when I hit the ground ,but, it felt more like I fell backward on my bed minus the slight bouncing.
And that's when everything was replaced with an yellowy orange light that soon went away as every thing went black…
AN: What has become of of Zak Wadi and less importantly Piecemeal's crazy ass and what awaits Zak when he waiks…If he wakes that is…
