This boy….the eye…the hair…all of it…the same. The same. NO! it's not possible!
And he…he having the same name as me…No..
I was standing behind Mori at that time, thinking back at what my mother had said. Get your brother back she said. Then…as Robert my brother?
"How dare you try to kill BJ?!" Ueki yelled at the mysterious boy who was wearing a brown fury hooded jacket. His smile was spread from ear to ear, and his eyes…The way it looked..empty, yet scary…
"BJ? Ah..that boy who told me about you…I almost forget about him…"Robert smirked, his voice gentle but piercing. In rage, Ueki dug in his pocket for trash and pulled out chocolate wrappers, and turned it into a huge tree. He swings it but before it could hit the boy, it fell heavily onto the ground. "What the?"
Robert only stood there, chuckling. His eyes reflecting the evil in his mind.
"If so…" Ueki now summons another tree trunk and threatened to throw it in top of Robert. Just then, the tree suddenly fly above him, ueki was forced to let it go and it stay afloat above them.
"Impossible…" Mori mouthed. She was right. The trees were all wraped with bubbles blowed out from Robert's hands, either red, or blue. No matter how many trees Ueki summoned, it ended up 2 ways. Sunk to the ground or flew up above them.
"Pity, I thought you were very strong Ueki," Robert smirked. "I'm not done yet!" Ueki knelt to the ground and place his palm on it. With all his streght he summoned tree roots which twist and turn and wraped Robert on his arms. "Without your arms, you won't be able to make those weird bubbles anymore will you?"
But before Ueki could do anything, Robert let out another smirked and and opened his mouth wide. A huge blue bubble burst from it, and surrounded the tree roots. Before long, they were all lifted and Robert was freed. "Are you really that naïve?"
"I got it….The red bubbles make things heavier, while the blue make things lighter!!" Mori explained to Ueki who was nailed to the ground, speechless. "My turn," Robert said and place both his palms infront of his mouth, his fingers connecting and blew.
Another huge blue bubble burst from it and wraped Ueki up before he could escape. Then he was lifted. Away from the ground, above the strretlamps…then above the houses…up and up he continue to go until…SNAP!
"NOOO!!!" Mori screamed. Ueki was about 30 feet above the ground. Falling from that height could kill him. "NOOO STOP THAT ROBERT!!!" Mori screamed. Looking at the situation, I snapped out of my trance and summoned a huge pine tree, with huge branches to brake ueki's fall. But Robert only made it lighter, and it flew away from Ueki. "Robert That's not fair!" Mori screamed at Robert.
"You are all so noisy," Robert smirked. Another bubble caught both of us, but it didn't flew us up. Maybe it's mainly to keep us quiet. Mori hammered on the wall but it is as firm as steel. Robert was laughing. Not just laughing. He seem to enjoy seeing Ueki falling…falling to his death.
"UEKIIIIIIIII!!!!!" Mori was now in tears, unknowing what to do. I tried to help by summoning more trees but the bubble was obstructing my power. "I'll deal with you later," Robert had said before he caught her in the bubble.
Just as Ueki was about to hit the ground, an image flash past my mind. Dad. Dad holding a child, and dropping it down to a hole in the ground. Margaret, and my brother, Robert, when he was five.
"ROBERTTTT!!!!" I yelled with all my heart. And when I opened my eyes, there stood Kobayashi, in his usual red shirt, cradling Ueki in his arms. He had brake ueki's fall. "If I say that you are an Idiot….I am the master of Idiots then," Kobayashi smiled. Robert stood rooted to the spot, his mouth wide open. Then he closed his jaw and started to laugh again. "YOU FOOLISH MAN!!" Robert screamed with laughter. "DID YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THIS?"
Mori was now cheering, cheering that Kobayashi had saved Ueki from a certain death. But something is wrong. Robert's confident talk and Kobayashi's sad face. He threw a shock and silent Ueki on the ground and instructed him to stay there. Then, a huge hole which glowed with Red light opened beneath him.
"K-Kobayashi…" Ueki's shock voice broke the confusion. "You know why I choose you Ueki?" Kobayashi said, ignoring the gapping hole below. "That day, during winter, a dog was left abondaned in the street. A few human child came, gave her food, and went, leaving the puppy alone in it's box," He recalled. "But only you, the idiot, carried it in your arms and hugged it, sitting in the snow, ignoring cold,"
"I wanted to see what Justice does this idiot Have,"
Ueki knelt on the ground, not knowing what had happened. "You're wrong Kobayashi…That's not the first time we met…"
"What?"
"When I was a kid, playing on top of a building, I fell from it. You saved me, like this," Ueki told Kobayashi, his voice squeaky. "You are my mentor! I only save other people to be like you!"
Kobayashi smirked. "Live on the way you like Ueki," And he start to sink, down into the glowing light.
"He…He's going to be dropped into hell…UEKI HE'S GOING TO HELL FOR SAVING YOU!!!" I shouted, finally understand what had happened. In this game, the rules had clearly stated that no candidates could help their power user or they'll fall down to hell. And Kobayashi had just brake that rule.
"Li…Liar…" Mori's stunned voice echoed in the bubble. "KOBAYASHIII!!!"
"Live, the Justice you want Ueki," Kobayashi's final words was carved deeply into Ueki's mind. Before long, Kobayashi had sink in and the hole had been closed with a "PLOP!"
"K-Kobayashi…" I mouthed and suddenly look up at Robert. The guy was smilling. He was starting to laugh! If he's really my brother I am so going to renounce him!
"IDIOTS!" Robert screamed at Ueki with a pathetic smile on his face. "HE HAD SAVED YOU! YET,"
"HE HAD SAVED, NO ONE!"He continued as he raise his arms for another set of attack. Suddenly, the door to hell opened again and there stood Kobayashi, his arms circling Robert, saying, "Oh no, you are coming with me too," And with a terrible scream, Robert was dragged down to hell by Kobayashi.
"ROBERTTTTT!!!" I screamed, hurrying over to the spot where Robert had been pulled down after his bubble had released me and Mori.
Kneeling on the spot, I searched for a hatch, a catch, anything as if I could open the doors of hell manually. Ueki was rooted to the spot behind me, accompanied by Mori. "It's…over," Mori whispered.
"I don't think so…" Ueki said, as a young seedling appeared in his hands. He closed his palm, concealing the seedling. "Alice,"
"What," I called, still searching the ground. "How come you know Robert?" Ueki asked, his voice heavy, and sad.
I turned. Shoot. My expressions have give way. Ueki will soon know I'm somewhat related to the crazy hoodie boy. "I…"
