Welcome to the continuation of Part Two. Since the reviewers wanted more, I give more. It starts with Jack arming himself for conflict.
Chapter Five: A Meeting of Town CouncilWhen Jack was finished with arming himself, he decided to go to the Mayor's house and tell him about the dream. As he was passing the Poultry Farm, he heard familiar voices entangled in an unfamiliar combination.
"Rick, why do you have to think that you can tell Popuri who she can like?" Jack recognized this voice as Karen's.
"Not that it's really your concern, but that Kai is a playboy and a bastard, to say the least! Why, I bet that he has several other girlfriends back in Miami. Again, it's not really your concern" Rick said.
"None of my concern? NONE OF MY CONCERN!!!? POPURI IS MY FRIEND YOU, YOU, YOU CAD!!!" Karen exclaimed with savage fury that Jack had not anticipated coming from her.
"Oh, so now he's the good guy and I'm the cad, huh?"
"THAT'S RIGHT!!! FORGET THAT I WAS EVER YOUR FRIEND!!!" Karen was obviously pissed to the extent of yelling. She then stormed off, not even noticing Jack. Meanwhile, Jack thought that he had better wait for her to cool down before talking to her. He continued on his original mission to the Mayor's house. As he approached the house that was the Mayor's residence, he saw a little kid on the ground crying.
"What's wrong, little guy?" Jack said with a concerned expression on his face.
"I slipped on a stick and fell on my knee!" said the kid
"Well here, I have a Band-Aid. Put it on the cut." Which is exactly what the kid did.
After the kid was done putting on the bandage, Elli walked by.
"Stu! Oh my god, what happened?" she said.
"I fell on my knee and cut it. But theis nice guy gave me a Band-Aid!"
"Jack? Why didn't you use that bandage that I gave you?"
"Stu here needed it more than I did." Jack then left the scene. He went into the Mayor's house and told him of the dream. The Mayor relayed to him the events that happened then. Jack listened attentively to the Mayor's words, taking them in and making mental notes. Jack left and went to the supermarket to pick up Karen for the Festival, then went to the Square.
When they got there, everyone else was waiting for them. Karen hastily rushed to her position in between Popuri and Elli and began to dance…
Meanwhile, the Mayor was busy calling a council meeting. Doug, Saibara, Jeff, and Zach all gathered in the square. The party was arguing amongst themselves over what the meeting was about. Then the Mayor called them to order.
"Alright, people. Jack just told me that he had a premonition of a future attack by the Black Robe Organization," at the mention of the BRO the Council's calm went up in a puff of smoke as an uproar tore through their ranks. They quickly calmed down and let the Mayor finish, "We all know what happened twelve years ago. We tried to put it all behind us but now the problem has returned. I have already called the President of the USA to immediately begin the construction of the army base on the western flank of the island. We are also getting some aircraft to go with it. The main reason I called you here is to tell you that all of the men in the village will be armed and defending Mineral Town. You will all need weapons to combat the BRO, but I think that we can supply that. You must all go to a special training course on the 12th at the Army training center in Florida. The only ones exempt from this training are Sabiara and Jack. The only reason Jack is not required to attend is because he was an experienced Rifle Team member of his high school. Saibara, you are too old. I want you to make weapons at your shop for our men to fight with. You all must report at the Dock at 4:00 sharp or early on the 12th. I want you all to say goodbye to your loved ones, for you may never see them again. You are free to go."
The crowd departed with mixed feelings about the training camp. Some, like Zach, were egging for a good fight to teach those sorry fools who was boss. Others, like Jeff, had families to worry about. Doug was Jeff's partner in this belief.
"What will Ann do without me or Cliff around to watch over her?"
Jeff let out a soft chuckle, "I think Ann can defend herself. But I'm worried about Karen and Sasha. After all, Sasha's parents were among the souls mentioned in the obituaries of the mail from two days after they left. Maybe they will try to finish the job," the thought of his wife and daughter getting attacked spurred him into the same mood as Saibara and Zach, "But not if I can help it!"
"That's the spirit, Jeff!" Zach yelled.
"For the innocents who died on the day of the Black Robe!"' Saibara yelled.
They all went home and told the people who were to report for duty on the 12th the Mayor's instructions. Zach had to call Kai, since he was out of town for the season.
"Well, I guess that I had better call Kai and tell him the bad news." Zach told himself.
Ring…………Ring…………Ring………… "Hello?"
"Kai, this is Zach. I have urgent news. The Mayor has ordered a special training session at the Florida Army Academy, beginning on the 13th. We have to leave here on the 12th. Suggest you come here on the 11th 'cause you are one of the trainees being sent to the Academy. Don't worry about shelter, you can stay at my place."
"I'll leave tomorrow. Why are we doing this?" Kai inquired.
Zach paused for a minute before coldly saying, "The Black Robe Organization." On the other line, Kai shuddered at the name.
"I'll be there. Bye." Kai then hung up the phone. He began to ponder who, what, where, and why. His mind raced with memories. Karen's grandma getting hung… Doug's wife getting her jugular split… Jack's grandma getting shot. He wanted to cry, the BRO was who had pillaged his home and murdered his resident family. And now they were returning to finish the job. He held back the tears and went to sleep.
Chapter Six: The Festival; Jack's Surprise
While the council was busy discussing the issues at hand, Jack was watching the girls dance at the Spring Goddess Festival, particularly Karen. While everyone was oohing and ahhing, Jack was paying his undivided attention to Karen's seemingly flawless dancing.
"She's incredible. I've never seen anyone who can dance anywhere near as good as her," he silently complimented her.
When the dance was over, Karen asked Jack if he would like to go to the bar with him for a drink. Naturally, Jack agreed.
They walked into the inn and ordered a couple of wine coolers. They then began to talk about things, like Karen's performance at the festival.
"Karen, you were positively awesome. I've never seen anyone dance as good as you just did."
"I can show you tomorrow, if you want me to," Karen responded.
"That would be great. Come to my farm at nine?"
"Sure.'
They had both just finished their wine and were about to leave when Cliff came in.
"Jack! I need to talk to you!" he shouted spastically.
"Alright Cliff, hold your pants on. Talk to you later Karen." Karen nodded and walked out the door. Cliff then pulled Jack into his room at the inn.
"Saibara told me to tell you that the Mayor is sending all of the men in the village to the Florida Army Academy for training to fight off the Black Robe Organization!" at the mentioning of the BRO, Jack got excited, saying "Let me at 'em! I'll make them pay!" Cliff was surprised at Jack's enthusiasm, but showed no sign of his surprise.
"Jack, if you will remember, this is the most aggressive terrorist organization in the world,"
"I know, but I want to avenge my grandparents' grievances by destroying the Black Robe Organization."
"Do what you think is best for you, Jack," Cliff drowsily said.
They said their goodbyes and went to bed.
Jack said to himself before going to bed, "Karen looked beautiful, of course…" then drifted off to a dark, dreamless sleep.
Again, sorry for the short part! I managed to get around the naming of the Black Robe Officers this time, but I don't think I'll be so lucky in the Fourth Part! I need some name suggestions to make a good fourth part! I positively must have names for the first chapter of the Fourth Part will be about a conference of the Black Robe Organization. Please, please, please give me suggestions for names! If you want you can give me some suggestions for the part's plot, for I am not a very good writer L. So help if you can!
