CHAPTER SEVEN: Turbo's Important Business
In the broken-down arcade game, Turbo sits in a large room, waiting patiently as he looks at the small stone shard lying on a blackish-purple stone table.
They should be here any minute. Turbo thought. Just as he thought that two people walked into the room.
One of the two was a tall, elderly man with two six-foot wooden staffs in each of his hands. The elderly man had a wrinkled face and bluish-grey eyes. He had pale skin and neatly-combed brown hair upon his head, and he wore a red t-shirt and blue pants. He wore a necklace with a shard of grey stone at the end. The other person was a young boy of around 12 years old. He wore a red t-shirt and black pants, and he had pale skin and deep blue eyes. He wore a similar necklace as the elderly man. The boy held a long metal chain with a small-but-heavy stone at the end of it.
Turbo saw them and smiled as he straightened up in his seat. His face beamed at the elderly man. "Welcome, good friend! Who's the boy?"
The elderly man nodded. "Hello, Turbo. This young lad is my son, Adrienne Sendar."
"Ah. So, Enjin how did you like my little messenger?" Turbo smirked.
The man entitled "Enjin" frowned. "I didn't like it very much. Sending a Cy-Bug to our home in the middle of the night to send us a letter was not your brightest idea. I killed it."
Turbo had a shocked look on his face. "You did? I am not pleased with that, but I'll let it slide. Please sit." Turbo gestured to a couple of chairs across from him. The man and boy kindly obeyed. "So, let's get down to business. You've heard of my… 'partner', no?"
"You mean Sarafein, villainess of Wizard's Quest? Then yes, yes I have." Enjin Sendar said, nodding.
"Yes, I mean her. You see, she thinks that we have 'equal power' in this 'partnership' of ours, but I think differently. I'm the controller of a whole colony of Cy-Bugs, and what is she controller of? To me, she controls nothing! So, I just want you—and your son if he's willing enough—to rough her up a bit. Don't kill her, just beat her up. I know you're a skilled assassin, and that your son is being taught in your ways, so I chose you to do this."
Enjin shook his head. "I cannot do what you are asking, for I am retired."
Turbo nodded, and then said, "Well perhaps Adrienne could do it for me."
Adrienne's eyes widened. "You want me to beat her up?
"Yes." Turbo said.
"Well, if I have to do that, then so be it." Adrienne said, then got up. "I will not be long, Father," he looked at Turbo, "It has been a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Turbo." He ran out of the room, a determined look on his face.
Turbo looked at Enjin and smiled, his yellow teeth glowing in the dim light. "Like father like son."
A/N: So now we meet two new characters—both of my own creation—Enjin and Adrienne Sendar. Where did they come from, you ask? Well they came from a game called The Shard of Death, a fighting game that's been recently upgraded. Enjin has been friends with Turbo since he was still popular!
Yes, I know this is a short and uneventful chapter, but don't worry, I'll update soon enough.
