Tales of the West
DISCLAIMER: it feels like I'm repeating myself. I do not own OLS
By: Laguna
In the dark and stuffy cell, Laguna lays on his wooden bed panel. His left arm is drenched in blood. He stood up, looking around. He saw the professor and Gene in the opposite corners. Where could Jim, Hanmyo and Melfina be, he thought. He made his way to the iron bar door. "The third bar, to the left. Always a defect." He said to himself. It was quite a simple process, just pull the bar and the gate opens automatically. They have this in every jail for emergencies. Slowly, Laguna began to lift the bar. In a split second, his arm was snatched and he was pulled up against the door. "Trying to escape huh? Bad enough you people trespass on our territory, you try to escape as well. There is no hope for you now!" The white-haired Indian pulled Lagunas arm, dislocating it. "Do that trick again and I shall do it to your other arm." The man stumbled back into the wall and slumped down to the ground, tending to his wound. "Guard, keep this cell under close watch." She demanded. The two guards nodded and stood on both sides of the door. "Aisha," one of the guards said, "what do you want us to do if the prisoner escapes?" "ARE YOU TWO STUPID?!?" She hollered "RESPOND TO THE OTHER GUARDS, WHAT ELSE!"
Aisha, daughter to the chef of an Indian tribe, takes her job seriously and respects the land she lives on. She hopes to gain a higher position than the head of the guards. With her attitude lately, there is no hope of having her dreams come true
Aisha made her way to a round furnished room; Melfina was waiting there. "Why are you harsh to my friends?" Melfina asked. "Well, they tried to trespass our land of course, they must be punished. Besides, you're a lady, you don't deserve to be in a cell." Melfina nodded and asked another question "What ever happened to Jim and Hanmyo?" "Who?" Aisha's tone changed. "My friends, they where with us." Aisha looked nervous, she doesn't know how to say it to her "Well…they're where these two idiots and I was outnumbered and………OK! THEY WHERE KIDNAPPED! I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Melfina, obviously worried, resorted to one opinion. "Can you let us go? They are our friends, we need to look for them." "Sorry, we cant. They must stay here for four months………unless." "Unless what?" Melfina asked. "If one of the idiot friends you have can beat me in a fight." Aisha made her way back to the cell and ordered the guards to unlock the door. Melfina followed "You shouldn't be doing this, they are injured." "So, you want to get out and find your little friend, right?" Melfina feels helpless; she just wanted to help her new friends. "HEY YOU," Aisha hollered to Laguna. He looked up at Aisha and went back tending to his arm "I do have a name, you do know that right?" "I DON'T CARE!" Laguna snapped his arm back in place and turned his attention back to Aisha "What do you want?" "I challenge you to a fight, your friend here wants to look for Jim and Hanmyo. I told her the only way you people can get ou…" Laguna butted it "You are annoying, lets just get this stupid fight out of the way." Laguna stood up slowly. Gene and the professor were finally awake and got up slowly. Laguna took one step out of the cell and arrowheads where at his throat. "One move." The guard said with his two worded threat. "You two," Aisha demanded "Send the man to the bull ring. I want this fight done already." Aisha made her way to the bullring. The bullring is a round arena made from wooden fences. The same ones that are used to keep horses in place. Other Indians crowd outside to watch the fight. Laguna was thrown into the bullring. He stood up and took a quick look of his surroundings. As Aisha made her way inside, the Indians cheered for her to win. "This wont look good." Gil said aloud. Gene was confused at what he said. He looked at the two combatants and back to Gil "How so professor, they are just Indians." "Ha! You are an idiot. These Indians can change into beast that their family worships. They gain their power from the moons light." "That's nice Gil, but its noon." Gene took his attention back to the arena. The two took their places ten feet away from each other. They charged at each other at full speed. Aisha leaped at Laguna. Laguna countered by sliding under her, punching her in the chin in the process. The two combatants stood at other ends of the bullring. The two charged again. Aisha pulled her fist back and thrown a punch at Laguna, only to miss him and having a hand full of sand into her eyes. Aisha stumbled back and began to rub her eyes. Laguna then picked her up by the throat and began to choke her. He picked her up, but Aisha countered by kicking him in the stomach. Laguna dropped her and stumbled back, holding his stomach. Aisha charged and leaped at Laguna. Laguna dropped onto his back and kicked Aisha in the stomach as hard as he could. He stood up and saw Aisha on the ground. He walked over to her and helped her up, knowing he won. "GOD! I CANT BELIVE IT. LOST TO A PATH----*" She stopped for a second. She looked a bit green. In a second, she threw up all over Laguna. Never ever kick someone in the stomach, Laguna thought to himself. She wiped her mouth and began to insult him. The crowd of Indians outside the bullring became silent. The chef made his way to the two "Aisha." Aisha turned around nervously "Y-Yess father?" The chef motioned Laguna to step out of the ring. "I've heard that you challenged this man to a fight." Aisha was confused. How did he know about this? Those guards she thought, it must be them. "And the thing was, if you lost, you promised to let them go. Well, I will see to that." "Is that all father?" "Of course not Aisha." The chef thought for a second, then an idea popped up. "Due to your insubordination, you are to escort the people until they found whatever they are looking for." Aisha was surprised by this "WHAT?!? YOU SAY THAT I MUIST TRAVEL WITH THEM?!? I CANT BELIVE IT!" The chef was gone by then. "I will teach that no gooder not to embarrass Aisha in front of her father and her people like that." "That was good Lag." Gene congratulated him on his victory. Aisha made her way to the four with her head hung low. "What is it now Aisha? You lost, is there anything else I should do?" Laguna questioned. "No, you're free to go, I just have to escort you." She said. "Fine, just don't get in our way, first we look for our friends, then the Arizona Leyline." With that in mind, this trip wouldn't be so bad, Aisha thought. The crew, along with Aisha, mounted onto the horses that the chef gave to them as a gift of goodwill between the two. Out somewhere in the desert, a wooden wagon treaded across the scorched land. Two familiar faces are at the helm. With The Cold Cast, anything could happen with them. "They should never have messed with us. Now we have their little friends, this is gonna be fun." Jack said to himself. Jim sat up and looked over at Hanmyo, who was still asleep. "Don't worry Hanmyo," he said to himself "I'm going to find our way out of this mess, I promise."
Chapter three done. I wrote this out of boredom. And if it isn't good, I'm sorry about that. I will promise that chapter 4 will be even better than this one.
