Chapter 5- Kerning for Life! Part 2

"Hmm... I'm broke... I owe Cold Eye... the army's in debt... this is harder than I thought..." He was sitting on a bench. He doesn't know where he could get money. He does not even want to tell Cold Eye that he's helping a human.

"Where can I start finding money?" He tried thinking, but lots of noise from the sewer place kept distracting him.

"PQ! Need one more!"

"PQ requests are welcome!"

"Need PQ!"

"Joining PQ! I have track!"

"PQ for level 20 noobs!"

"Anyone want a mustard sock?"

"Need PQ!"

Barlog can't stop hearing the noise. "Argh! Can't they ever stop!"

"Hey, you! The big guy!" Barlog looked up. It was three humans. Two guys and a girl.

"Whadda you want, you humans?"

"I don't think he will join us," said the girl.

"But look at him! He's strong to be able to beat up the King Slime-"

When Barlog heard the name, King Slime, he remembered! "King Slime!" Barlog shouted.

"Yeah, wanna join us?" asked the party leader.

Barlog had a plan. Since they still think that he's a human, the plan is full-proof. "Sure, I'll join you," said Barlog.

"Okay, the name is Jack!" said the party leader.

"And I'm Ray!" said the girl.

"And that guy," pointed Jack, "is Don." He was just standing there, quietly.

"Don't worry about him, he's just shy to new people. He always chat buddy," explained Ray.

"Well, my name is Barl," said Barlog. He and Jack shook hands.

"Welcome to the party! I'm sure you'll be a worthy addition!" complimented Jack.

Even if Barlog hates humans, he has to help them, in order to get fuel for his monster truck, which I think is completely useless. Barlog, somehow, felt touched. He just has to get rid of that emotion, even if he's a programmed to be a monster.

"Well, we're here!" said Jack. Barlog and the others found himself in the PQ place. Barlog mostly kill, since he's awesome at that. Jack, Don, and Ray were amazed by his solo-handed combat. It took only half an hour to reach to the King Slime.

"Okay, we're almost at the King Slime. All thanks to Barl!"

Barl went up to Jack. "Let me handle the King Slime, by myself!"

The others were shocked. "What!" they said, except for Don.

"Barl, my man, we appreciated for what you have done for us! But I think it will take all of us to kill this king slime!"

Barlog looked down, "I know... but... this time... I need to be alone. I need to fight King Slime alone."

"Barl, what is wrong with you!" cried Jack. "Don't get crazy fighting the King Slime by yourself!"

"Just leave me alone, you humans! In fact, I think you should leave now!" cried Barlog. He can't take it anymore, the adventuring with humans.

"Barl..." said Ray. She, along with Jack, don't know what to say.

"Barl," said Don. Ray and Jack were shocked that he finally spoke to a stranger.

"Hm?" Barlog noticed that Don talk. "Yes?" he replied.

"... Good luck..." he said. Barlog, again, felt touched. He just stood there while the other party members left. He then came off out of his Cash Shop costume and went to the arena.

"Raaaaaaaahh! I am the- where is everyone?"

"Hey! King Slime! Remember me?" King Slime saw Barlog, without his costume.

"Wow, Crimson Barlog! You came here just to see me? Even if it risks you hanging out with those humans?"

"Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. Say, will it be alright if I borrow... you know... mesos?"

"Sure! I have 50 million mesos to spare! How much you need?"

"50 million mesos! Really! You don't know how thankful I am!" cried Barlog, happily.

"Well, I've been having a part-time job. And I'm always a loyal friend!"

"It's good to meet you, again!"

"Yeah, and I gotta go back. I don't want to leave Cold Eye wait for me at my monster truck-"

"Monster truck! Oh, really?"

"Yeah, really!"

"No, way! Heh, gotta love that line." said King Slime.

"Well, see ya!"

"Bye, Barlog, my man!"

As Barlog left King Slime's place, he was back at Kerning City and...

"Aaaaahh! Crimson Barlog!"

"Oh no!" He quickly hide away and changed back to his Cash clothes. Nobody knew where the Crimson Barlog went.

"Okay... now to go get mah fuel," he whispered to himself. He went up back to the shed where Chris is at.

"Well, here's all the money you want." He dropped bundles of money, worth 15 million mesos, on the floor.

"15 million mesos, boy! You actually got them! Ah, now this is just a miracle!" he cried. Barlog didn't say anything.

"Thank you so much, Barl! You've really helped my family! In fact, you've helped a lot of people you can never imagine! Thank you so much, boy!" cried Chris. "I have your fuel right there!" he pointed at boxes of it.

"Wow... thanks, Chris. This is actually a lot than I want-"

"Don't worry about the quantity. That much of fuel can give four round trips of Victoria!"

"... I gotta go..." said Barlog.

"Thank you again, young man!"

"No... problem..." Barlog left. He walked, finding his way to the sewer pipes.

"Hey! It's Barl!" Barlog looked, and it was Don, Ray, and Jack.

"Yo, Barl!" said Jack.

"Hiya, Barl!" said Ray.

"How was your battle?" asked Don.

"Pretty easy, to say the least. Oh, yeah! I also got these for you, guys!" Barlog gave them 10 million mesos each.

"Barl! Are you sure! That's... a... lot!" cried Jack.

"Hmph, I don't really need it. You can have it."

The three were looking at their money.

Don spoked, "Thanks, Barl. But I really don't want..." As he looked up, he left.

"Barl..." he said, quietly.

Barlog was just walking down the street. He then saw a little girl, crying. He looked at her. Normally, he would laugh at her pity, but... he was busy with lots up stuff today. Barlog went up to the girl and stared at her. When the girl looked up, she was frightened by the huge body. She fell down, crying some more. Barlog closed his eyes, and left. The little girl didn't know what was that all about, but she found a bag of mesos worth 5 million. She was surprised... and happy.

Barlog doesn't know what to think about. He just walked quietly. He went through the really small sewer pipe line with no trouble at all. He went to fill his monster truck with fuel. When he was done, he went up on the driving seat, and sit there quietly.

"Eh? Oh... it's you... Barlog..." said Cold Eye, who woke up when Barlog went in the truck. "Took you long enough. So, how was your trip?"

Barlog didn't want to share the story with Cold Eye. So he did the best thing he could do...

"I beat up the store guy and took all his fuel," said Barlog.

"Heh... always the violent way, eh, Barlog?"

"Shut up, Cold Eye. And sit up right, I'm ready to drive!" he yelled.

"Sheesh..." complained Cold Eye, putting on his seat belt.

Barlog drove away from the swamp, soon to hitting on dry land...

"Hey! I thought this fanfic was supposed to be funny!"

Shut up, Barlog.
