Chapter

"Alrigth
we're all set!!" Maina was really enthusiastic about the adventure she was
about to get. She had a rapier with her, the only weapon she was using for a
fight. Teepo nodded and showed a grin of satisfaction. "Yeah let's
go!" said the energetic Maina running out of town. Teepo sweatdropped
because of her action. He sighed a bit and ran after her screaming for her to
wait.
He
managed to catch up, panting, since Maina was a fast runner. "Jeez can't
you WAIT for ME?! Want me to get LOST?!" said Teepo frustrated. Maina
laughed and sticked her tongue at him, mocking him. "Oh eeeexcuse me
lavender boy!" Teepo got really angry at her mocking, since he has a bad
temper. "Why I oughta! Lucky you're a girl!!" he muttered. "Oh
for crying out loud are you putting me on?! Even though I'm a girl I can put
you on and win anytime!!" Maina said with disgust. Teepo controlled his
temper and muttered something about him not liking girls at all, which wasnt
true.
Teepo
was pouting all of the quarter way to Windia. Suddenly, for no reason. Maina
elbowed him upside the head. His frustration rose again until Maina spoke. "Did
you hear that?! I heard a scream... like if someone was in alot of
trouble..."
He
focused his ears and heard the scream of an helpless person. Another noise was
heard, the roar of a enormous beast. He looked at Maina and nodded. "Thinking
what I'm thinking Maina? he said with a brooding smile. Maina looked at him and
grinned "Yeah... I'm thinking the same." "It's time to kick some
asses!!" they both said in unison and rushed to where all the commotion
was located. Both of them arrived at the same time and to their surprise, saw a
huge mastodon-esque beast, covered with fur and red eyes showing the urge to
kill. "OH MY GOD!!! It's a Maman!! They're resistant and hard to kill! Teepo
are you listening?!" she yelled out as she turned around to her left,
seeing Teepo was no more besides her, but in front of the monster.
Teepo
unsheated his sword with a fast motion and attacked the beast with an
horizontal gash on its left foot. He managed to cut a part of its foot but the
Maman didnt seem to flinch at all at the injury. The animal's turn, it swung
its injured left paw at Teepo but since the Maman was too slow, he was able to
dodge the attack and made a strike to its right paw. Maina, slashed the beast's
tail cutting it in two. Furious, it swung its two horns toward Teepo, who was
getting back up from its dodge, ignoring Maina. By luck, one of the Maman's
horns caught his clothing instead of his skin, however, he got thrown like a
ball right into a tree. He got knocked out since his armor wasnt good enough to
absorbs the shock of the hit. The monster stepped to the warrior ready to kill
its prey. Maina ran to their direction as the beast swung its horns once more
toward Teepo, but she took the blow in his place, protecting him.
Teepo
opened his eyes to see what happened since he didnt get it. To his horror, he
saw his new friend in the pool of her blood, layed down on her stomach,
lifeless. "M... Mai... MAINA!!!!!!!!!!" he cried out in rage. Flames of fury was
burning in his crimson red eyes as his anger rose to its limit. Teepo stood up
ignoring his painde back, looking at the monster with hatred. "I will end
your suffering monster..... DIE!!!" he screamed, as he dashed toward the
Maman, sword in hand, ready to perform a fatal blow. Letting out a war cry, he
jumped over the beast, performing his critical move. "DOUBLE
BLOW!!!!" he yelled out as he nearly landed on its head, the first strike,
slashing it eyes. The second blow, stabbing its skull, put an end to the beast.
The Maman fell down, lifeless, as the difficult battle was over.
Panting,
he kneeled down on the ground. Quickly he regained his composure and got up
remembering his friend was hurt, almost dying. He turned his gaze to her body
and walked to her, but collapsed, unconcious, in the process of trying to get
to her.
