Chapter 2- Fall of the Tribe Circus
"What's wrong, children? Not happy? Don't worry, " Top Hat grinned sinisterly as he said, "I'll turn those frowns into smiling rounds." He reached into the back of his coat and pulled out a huge and sharp looking curved dagger. Just the sight of the blade scared Patsy as she suddenly clunged to Jett for dear life.
Upstairs, Jett snarled at the ringmaster and clown leader of the Tribe Circus, pure hatred burning in his eyes. Everytime he saw Top Hat, the hatred would always be there. It had been there ever since he killed Lillia.
"Top HaaAATTT!!" Jett growled. The ringmaster looked up at Jett, his mouth dropped as he looked in awe at the boy who knew his name. His look of awe soon vanished as his evil grin returned on his face.
"Why Jett, old buddy? How do you do? It's been such a long, long time since saw you, last time I did." Top Hat's grin turned into a mocking frown and let out a fake whimper as he saw the horrible glare on Jett's face. "Oh, what's wrong? Still remember the time I killed your whore?"
Jett's jaw tightened, but he held back his rage as he calmly and gently pushed Patsy over to Salene. He began to walk down the stairs, his glare never leaving Top Hat. "You've got balls, Tops, but then again...not really. You're fucking dead, you hear me? And this time, there's no holding back."
"Jett, good old chap! It's very inappropriate to say such things in front of small children..such as yourself. But then again, you never did care about anyone but yourself."
Jett stopped as he walked off the last step. "You took her from me, you bastard. Now, I will have my revenge."
"Oh gee, Jett. It's kinda hard to have revenge when your outnumbered." Top Hat laughed, and then turned and snapped his fingers in the air. "Finish this fool off. We've got decorating to do." The Tribe Circus obeyed as the rushed Jett.
Jett flew a powerful front kick to his first attackers head, sending the clown back unconcious. The second attacker swung a small wooden club vertically to Jett's side. Jett jumped back and jabbed the second attacker's cheek. The attacker didn't go down until Jett grabbed the club out of the attacker's hands and swatted the attacker against the back of his head with the club. Jett threw the club at his third attacker's stomach groin, and delivered a snap kick to the attackers face after the attacker knelt over on his knees.
The Mallrats upstairs watched the battle between one boy and a group of sinister entertainers in shock and amazement. The battle was going Jett's way, not even the Tribe Circus best could strike him down. Finally after moments of a vicious street fight inside a mall, the battle was over. The winner was clear as Jett stood over the fallen, tired, and wounded members of the Tribe Circus. All that stood of them was only Top Hat who turned pale watching the power of the young boy who had crumbled the Tribe Circus.
Top Hat bowed as he took off his hat. "Though you've been a lovely audience, I'm sorry to say that we must be on our way." With that, Top Hat with his concious tribemates who carried off the unconcious others quickly departed from the mall.
"Aren't you gonna go after him?" Lex asked asked he walked next to Jett. Without looking, Jett replied, "No. His time is over, the Tribe Circus is dead. I will see him again, and when I do...that's when I'll avenge Lillia."
"Who's Lillia?" Bray asked.
There was a akward and uncomfortable silence until Jett whispered, "She was my fiance'." A tear rolled down his eye that went unnoticed as he turned and went upstairs to his bedroom.
Lex turned to Bray. "Know anything about this Lillia?" Bray shook his head. "He must've met her during the evacuation after we separated."
Later on after the Mallrats and Jett finished cleaning up the mess from the morning's fight, Tai-San had walked into Jett's room as he laid in his bed barely asleep. He made no move to turn to her as he back was to her.
"What is it?" He muffled.
"I....just wanted to see how you were doing. If you need any medical treatment." She replied.
"No thanks, tired is all I am from today." He smiled. There was a pause, until..."Jett, we have to talk."
Finally, Jett turned around facing her. "What about?" "About your dream. I have been...thinking it over. And yet..the same answer still comes up."
"What answer?" He asked. "Jett, I may sound crazy but...I think last night was a mistake." Jett looked up at her shocked. "What?" "I mean, well...we shared a very special moment last night, Jett. We really did, but my heart...it lies with someone else. Someone not you."
"My god. Tai-San...we've only been together for one day and already your breaking up with me! I must be really bad!"
"No! Jett please listen. I have reason to believe that we are not meant to be because..in your second dream...the one with you and a girl...the girl is not me."
"What are you saying?" Jett asked as he sat up from his bed. "Who is the girl then? Do you know?"
Tai-San put her head down as she looked guilty. This made Jett concered and worried. "Tai-San?" She finally looked up at him "Get ready Jett, because I think this is where the rocky path begins."
Jett gave her a confused look, urging her to continue. And she did by saying, "Jett, your second dream is about you and....and..."
"And who?"
Tai-San sighed. "Amber."
His eyes popped open as his heart started racing. "E-e-excuse me?" "It's no lie or joke, Jett. I've been getting the same answer from observing your dreams over and over. The conclusion is that you and Amber could be...soulmates."
"What's wrong, children? Not happy? Don't worry, " Top Hat grinned sinisterly as he said, "I'll turn those frowns into smiling rounds." He reached into the back of his coat and pulled out a huge and sharp looking curved dagger. Just the sight of the blade scared Patsy as she suddenly clunged to Jett for dear life.
