There's someone powerful enough for everyone. Even the most powerful enterran - Mushrambo. Zoey used to be a cage fighter but when she saves Binka she vows to be her guardian and protect her from danger as Binka makes her way to Shinzo. But when things go wrong, Mushrambo has a change of heart and also vows to help Binka - much to Zoey's disliking. (MushramboxOC)
Chapter Twenty Five
Sam had grown quickly. All Enterran children do. She was able to walk, talk and even read and write like an eight year old human. Even though she was only a few months old she was as tall as a three year old. She had shoulder length blonde hair, pale skin - but not as pale as Zoey - it was more Mushrambo's colour and she had crimson eyes like her father.
Sam currently lived with Zoey. Zoey and Mushrambo had split up after an argument and...other things.
Mushrambo had a new 'girlfriend' called Tanya. He was only with her in hopes of making Zoey jealous. Deep in his heart he still loved her - but they acted like they did when they first met.
Knock Knock.
"Daddy!" Sam ran in and hugged him.
"Hi, Sammy! Zoey." He picked up his daughter and held her in one arm - waiting for Zoey to say something. "What?" He asked.
"I know we haven't really spoken in a long time, Mushrambo." She said. 'But I need you to look after Sam for a few weeks.' She thought to him.
"Okay." 'But why?' He thought to her. 'Are you in trouble?'
She sighed. 'Let's just say I had a run in with an old...acquaintance.' "Look after her, alright." She stated, then thought 'I owe you.' He smirked. "Bye Sam." She smiled at the little girl who returned it before she ran down the path and dissapeared into the forest.
"So. Sam...do you know where she's going?"
"Who? Mummy?"
"Yes."
"She said she was going to see an old friend. I asked her if I could go with her but she said 'not today'." Mushrambo knew that Zoey's chosen words 'not today' were a cover up of a stern 'no. it's dangerous.' 'Crap. What if she needs my help...' He looked out the window and across the road - then a few houses to the right. 'I'm sure Mushra wouldn't mind babysitting.' He looked the other way. 'Or Binka.'
Tanya came downstairs. "Who's this cute little girl?" She asked. She was the complete opposite of Zoey. She had dark shoulder-length hair, tanned skin and yellow eyes. She was slim - not toned. She wore a brown skirt and a yellow t-shirt with brown boots.
"This is Sam. My daughter." He replied.
"She's so adorable! I've got to get to work. Bye!" She recived a kiss from Mushrambo and didn't notice the glare from Sam as she left the house.
"What do you think of Tanya, Sam?" Mushrambo asked.
'I don't like her.' She thought. "She seems nice." Then thought: 'she's not mummy.' Mushrambo raised an eyebrow - Sam did have the tendancy to forget thing's - like Mushrambo being a telepath and Zoey being the lightning witch, Mushra being her Uncle and the fact that Kutal wasn't going to eat her.
"That's good then." He said.
"Why? You're not going to marry her are you?" She crossed her arms and glared at him. A look she must've learnt from her mother.
"Depends." Sam stood up and screamed. Mushrambo was alarmed and looked behind him. 'She's screaming at me.' He thought. He picked her up and held her tightly to his shoulder when she started crying. "Sam. I'm going to tell you why." She nodded against him. "I want Zoey back."
"I don't understand...why are you replacing her?"
"I'm not replacing her but...if mummy doesn't want to come back - I will try anything."
"So you want to make her jealous?"
"In some ways."
"Well, it's easy to make mummy jealous."
"Really? How?" He looked at Sam and dried her eyes.
"Well...she talks about you all the time...she hates Tanya-"
"-How did she know about, Tanya?"
She looked around the room and leant in to whisper in his ear. "I think she might be pshycic. Like have a crystal ball or something."
Mushrambo laughed. "What makes you think that?"
"Because she told me not to step outside the front door at three - I waited for the clock to strike three and when it did - one of those giant bird things crash landed there! It was huge...and it had a beak the size of my arm and head connected together." She looked at him so seriously, he had to hold in a laugh - to not offend her. "Maybe that's how she found out."
"So mummy can see into the future then?"
"I think so."
"Ahh...why don't we go and see Uncle Mushra?" She crossed her arms and shook her head. "What about Kutal?"
"No! He looks like he'll eat me!"
"He won't eat you. What about Binka then?"
Binka was 16 now. She worked in a nursery.
"Binka. Can you look after Sam for a while?"
"Sure, Mushrambo, how long are you going to be?"
"I'm not sure. I'm looking for someone." It was better to not let her worry about where Zoey was - she would tell Mushra.
"Oh okay then - I hope you find them." Binka was pushed onto the floor as Sam ran over to hug her.
Mushrambo was used to this now. Follow the pull. It was weaker now he had a 'relationship' with Tanya - but it was still there, and he was going to follow it.
Zoey's POV
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here." The Locator. The man who was plagueing my visions for the past week. "I suspect you've come here to card me." He looked over my body. Eww. Disgusting. "Unless you're here for something else." He smirked. Eww. Disgusting, once again.
"Yes. I'm here to card you." I informed.
"Well, you'll have a hard job."
"What would make you say that? I'm one of the most powerful enterrans."
"My powers. Make your powers null and void once your within five metres of me. You can't even do long range attacks - if that's what you're thinking! They'll bounce of my invisible force field!" He laughed.
Normal POV
He dissapeared. Zoey was lifted up from the floor and thrown into the trees. Crash landing on a certain samurai.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" She asked from underneath him.
"I could ask you the same question." He replied - not getting off. If Tanya was there right now - she wouldn't be Mushrambo's 'girlfriend' any more.
"Get off." Zoey growled. Mushrambo sighed before getting to his feet and pulling her up aswell. She turned on her heel and began running into the trees where she was thrown from.
"Sam told me, you still talk about me." He said, smirking when she stopped.
"Hn. What makes you think they're nice things?" The smirk was wiped from his face. She dissapeared into the trees.
Walking into the clearing - Zoey was pushed against a tree - her hands held tightly around her back. Someone pushed themselves against her back. She thought it was Mushrambo.
"Fuck off!" She spat. Trying to push them away. They pulled her arms tighter - they felt like they were going to snap off.
"Why? When you're the one that came looking for me?" He spun her round and met her lips with his. She struggled against him - but with now powers she was useless! He was really strong! She began to knee him in his gut when he thrust her against the tree by her throat. Her feet said goodbye to the floor and she couldn't breathe.
'Holy, shit! Holy, shit! Holy, shit, shit, shit!' She thought. She felt completely useless!
She fell to her knees, when Mushrambo fly-kicked the guy away. 'I guess he can't block strength.' She thought to herself. She was helped to her feet.
"You shouldn't be here." Mushrambo said.
"Why not? He was plagueing my visions-"
"-He's an old...friend of mine." He spat the word 'friend'.
"Oh..." She drew her dagger and lengthened it into a sword just as Mushrambo drew his. They plunged their swords into The Locator's chest just as he had raised his own weapon - an axe.
The swords pierced through his heart and he fell to his knees. He glistened and changed into an encard just as Zoey turned her sword against Mushrambo's.
"What are you doing?" He asked as her sword connected with his. She stared deeply into his eyes - broke the contact before he got hurt - dropped her sword and lunged for his face. He sheathed his sword and pulled her closer to him.
They picked Sam up from Binka's nursery the next day and Mushrambo made it clear to Tanya that he still loved Zoey and couldn't go on any longer with her. She said she completely understood. Sam was happy.
Finally, they had nothing to worry about. There was the odd argument - but thay always made up. A happy little family - also known as: 'The Village Protectors'. Sam also devloped powers. She could control any metal object - and that was handy when fighting cadrians.
The village was safe and everyone lived in peace - just like Shinzo had wanted.
