Pumpkin Patch Pummel

"Give us the psycho and we will let you live with a limp." One of the bandits in the front yelled out. There is a whole army out there in Isabella's backyard. Bandits, psychos, midgets and nomads, all here, for me. Standing on her farmland, eating her pumpkins. Completely disrespectful Maya ran up to my side to see them too. She turned her head towards me and questioned me.

"Krieg, did you do anything to upset them?"

Did I? Bandits are a violent bunch, but they wouldn't usually only start a fight over property, not for one person."The meat king didn't serve up anyone yet."

Maya put her thumb to her lips, pressing her teeth down on it."Then why do they want you?" She mumbled.

"You have until the count of five to hand him over. Or else you won't have hands to hand him over." A bandit yelled.

"That sucked dude, too wordy." Another said.

"Shut up Jones, I took all night to think of that." He directed his attention back to us."ONE!"

"There's way too many out there for us to fight. We should retreat, we can go out the front door." Maya said.

"TWO!"

I got up from my crouched position at the window. I already know what my other half is thinking. There is way too many for us too handle. Besides we have to get Isabella to safety. Innocents come before killing.

"Ugh, but I really want to rip their face-" I wave a hand in front of my mask, then inch further with it."Off."

"THREE!"

Maya faced her head behind us." We'll get you to-where did she go?"

I turned to find that only Maya and I stood in this room. We looked back outside at the sound of a door being closed. Isabella was the person that came out. Is she crazier than me? What makes her think she can confront all of them herself?

"Come on we gotta help her get out of here. She's going crazier than a monk on a friday."

Monk on a friday? Where did she get that expression from? Even my other self looked at her questionably.

"It's an Athenas expression. Let's go. "

We rush out the house to Isabella's side.

"So you finally brought him out. "The bandit leader said."Now give us him and we won't turn ya into swiss cheese."

Maya grabs ahold of Isabella's arm and urges her to leave, but she stands her ground. Even when Maya tries two hands, Isabella stays there as Stoic as a statue. Eyeing all the bandits trespassing and her turf. Now I get it.

"Seriously how are you this strong?" Maya mumbles. She stops trying to pull her and starts using reason." We have to go Isabella. What would your nieto think if he came home and see that your dead?"

"He'll probably hunt down the perra that did me in. I wouldn't want him to go through all that trouble." Isabella answered her while still keeping her eyesight on the bandits.

"You ignoring me?" The bandit leader yelled." No one ignores me! Now I'm gonna give you to the count of five to pay attention to me. Five"

"Oh my gosh, you're the worst leader ever." His Co-commander said. He looked really annoyed, pitching his mask with his head down, at the imbecile they made leader.

"What about your men?" Maya asked." They'll shed a tear if they come out to see you get killed. "

"What are you talking about chica, they're right here." Right then Isabella whipped out two heavy bandit assault rifles out of her robe. The one in her left hand is painted red and gold with a shark's teeth drawn on the end of it. The one in her right is brown and rusty with a glass bottle tapped to the top to act like a scope. Both guns have large magazine belts that almost reach the ground. I hate to admit but her arms look more ripped than mine's. She would need that kind of strength to lift those two heavy guns.

The bandit leader practically jumped out of his skin when he saw her do that." S-shoot her!"

"Bienvenida a vuestros sepulcros!" Isabella yelled as she and the bandits start to fire. Their leader starts to run all the way to the back. Maya gets behind cover by a nearby barrel. All the gun fire, screaming, blood on the ground and on the vegetables, and the battle music going on in my hand gives my other side that rush that I can't control.

Go crazy

"The feast has begun!" I run off like a dog off a chain down the whole pumpkin patch. Several bandits are shot down before me from Isabella's gunfire. Some are electrified to death from Maya's maliwan smg. The one's unlucky enough to live get cut down the middle when I approach them.

Two bandits near me pop out of their giant pumpkin covers and start firing at me with their pistols. Two shots hit me in the sternum. Hurts like a thousand wasps stinging the same place but of course my other self get his thrills from this sort of thing.

I toss my axe straight into one of their skulls. Causing his head to jerk back and he falls down dead. The other one gets electrocuted by Maya's bullets.

I leap over their cover and immediately all of their attention, and guns, are on me. Maya trys to tell me to get out of there and move to cover. But all I can see is the meat, the blood, and the faces of my enemies.

"My dark passenger wants to say hi!"I yell out. Then start cutting down the droves of enemies in my way. One by one, I mutilate everyone. Cutting off heads, arms, legs, bellies, and eyelids. Not leaving one behind. Their bullets of different kinds pierce right through my skin like a needle. Breaking bone, cutting organs, ugh the pain is unimaginable.

"Charge him lads!" The bandit leader hollered from the back of the battlefield.

No matter how many I kill, their numbers don't seem to dwindle. They start to overwhelm me, jumping on me to stop my rampage. I was forced to the ground by several bandits and felt a gun pressed straight to my skull. Really hoped I wouldn't go out like this.

Suddenly a grenade blows up right next to all of us. The piles of men act as a shield for me and lessen the blow. All I end up is with blood all over me. The rest of them are missing vital organs and appendages. They all end up scattered around the whole farm.

I stand up to see Maya rushing over to me." Sorry, I couldn't use my Phaselocke on them it was just too many. Are you all right?"

Several ribs are broken, my ear has been shot off, i'm pretty sure I can't feel my spleen but all that doesn't matter when my healing powers start to kick in. All the blood from my enemies start to mend my wounds and then I feel all better. This is definitely the best thing about the new me.

"Wow." Maya looks over my whole body, observing it healing. She hovers her hand around my abs." You heal just like a jackrabbit."

Just like last time I look at her questionably.

"It's an animal that the monks who raised me use to hunt. Those rabbits would heal so quickly that the only way to kill them would be to shoot it several times in the head. Or you may end up with a live creature in your stomach. When the monks hunted them I would sneak out sometimes to watch and do some of my own hunting."

Those sound like some terrifying animals. Anyway, thank her for saving your life.

"NIPPLE SALADS!" Close enough.

The whole farm was littered with blood, guts, and corpses. Can't make a buck off of these pumpkins now. Maya and I go to check the back where we saw the leader run back to and find him and his Co-commander hiding behind two bullet ridden boxes. They both stand up as we approach. Isabella comes up right next to us.

"Screw you guys. I'm killing my own self" The Co-commander points his gun at his head and fires. What a bitch.

The other one looks panicked. "Holy Amadeus Billy! Now what am I going to do?"

We walked closer to him. Each step we take he looks even more freaked out. He knows running won't help agaisnt guns so he just falls on his butt. Staring up at us.

"Who sent you after Krieg? "Maya demanded.

"That info is going to the grave with me, and YOU!." He takes out a grenade and pulls the pin.

"Crap!" Maya yelled. My instinct kicks in as I dodge roll to the left and Isabella does so on the right. Instead of running, Maya uses her powers to trap the guy's hand and Grenade into her phaselocke.

The grenade explodes and Maya's small phaselocke expands greatly. Surrounding all four of us in a see-through light blue 50 feet dome.

"Wow. Didn't think this would happen. "Maya sounds absolutely astonished as she says this. She Looks all around at it and went to touch the side.

I was surprised by this too. Even my other side forgot about the bomber to go and marvel at this. I get up and go to one of the sides to place my hand on it. It feels light, smooth, and easily breakable. Although no amount of pushing could make it bulge. I swing my axe on it vertically but it doesn't leave an effect on it at all.

I hear gunshots to my right and turn to see Isabella shooting the dome. Just like my axe, her shots didn't do anything.

I hear banging on the wall far from me. I look over to see the man hitting the wall with the only hand he had left. The other one was a bleeding stump. I was about to walk over to him, but Isabella beat me to it.

She points both of her guns at him. "Answer the chica's question, who sent you?" Maya and I walk to her side.

"Choke on your tongue you old hag." The bandit leader said.

"Well that's just rude. Looks like Eduardo will have to teach you a lesson. " She shot the man's right hand with a barrage of bullets from her red and gold gun.

"AWWWWGHGGHgghh-crazy-bit." She shot him in his knee several times with her brown and rusty gun.

"Oh Fito, don't get so trigger happy. Our friend here was just about to speak, weren't you?"

"O-ok,Ok, i'll talk. Just please don't shoot me again. "The bandit leader said."Our boss at the badlands just told us to find him and we'll get a reward."

"Why does your boss want him?" She furthered questioned him.

"He said that someone will share his bounty with us if we capture him. "

"Who's that someone? "

"I don't know I swear! Now please let me go."

"The only place i'll let you go is with your friends. "She pointed her gun at his temple. He pleaded and waved his hands no, but she took the limp body dropped to the ground. Maya's field vanished.

Isabella looked over to us." Now that you know what you're going up against, you should look around for something to fight with."
