Hello again readers Burning Rhapsody back with Chapter 2 of Shattered Heroes. Like I said before thankyou to those who stuck this far and to those who reviewed the story. I like to say with out you guys and gals I would probbaly not have the motivation to get up in the morning. If you want a shout out. I take kindly to criticism as it fuels me to better myself. Like chapter one not much will go on as these early chapters are for introducing the main charaters of the story. As time as soon as thats done I will be working on the first arc which is one I created myself and after that shall be the short lived Thronecoming arc. Well until then Hex ya later!
3rd person pov:
"Is it me or did I see a boy falling through the sky." Cherise suprized by someone falling through the sky. "Is he swimming?" She thought even more confused.
She decided to go check it out.
"Hm was that who I thought it was." Kota laughed realizing who the falling person was.
"I think so." Shino said. Gritting his teeth."Thats going to leave a mark."
"Wanna go check it out to make sure he's okay." Kota Asked with a serious tone
They both ran off following the daughter of Little Red Riding Hood.
Shay's pov
"Uhg my head I'm just gonna close my eye's till this pain subsides." I Looked toward the reader. "Hey just cause I'm a hero doesn't mean I don't feel pain to." I spoke before before passing out.
10 minutes later
"Hey are you alright?" spoke a soft voice. at the same time I felt like I was being poked by a stick or something.
"5 more minutes." I asked groggily only to get the most painfull slap of my life. Which woke me up.
Opening my eyes I saw the most beautiful girl I had ever met I could tell because of her aura it was unique. Which only added to her beauty. She looked like she was very self reliant which I like in women. No Shay don't be thinking those thoughts your on a mission. Wait I'm going to school to I geuss I can fool around for a bit. I just don't want to hurt her feelings maybe later. I thought. "So what's your name Red?" I asked
"Cherise Hood. Who are you?" she asked almost as soon as she answered growling a bit. "And don't call me Red unless you want you cockles cut off, while you hang from shackles." She growled through grit teeth.
"Girly's got bite I like that I can tell we will be great friends, the names Shay by the way." I spoke as if nothing happened. "By the way do you know where Ever After High is?" I asked soon after. "Because I don't see it any where."
Cherise smirked. "Yeah I go there. Also its behind you."
"Thankyou mind showing me to the headmasters office I am enrolling there anyway." I asked
Cherise nodded saying "Only this once, and no funny buisness."
"Fine fine no funny buisness." I smirked with laugh and a skip in my step. " To the headmasters office posthaste."
"Look's like he's in good hands." Kota thought while smile slightly.
"Seems so." Shino thought while sharing a look with Kota.
"Well I have to go I have a gig at The Red Shoes Dance Club, so I'ma get going See Ya bro" Kota spoke before walking away.
"Hex ya later Kota!" Shino yelled before going to do his own thing.
Kota's pov.
"Well I have to go, I have a gig at The Red Shoes Dance Club, so I'ma see ya bro." I said before walking away.
Grabbing a ciggerette from my pack. "Damn last one." I thought growling at the thought. "I need to quit anyway." I spoke softly.
What's that power I'm sensing it's almost god like. If its what I think it is where going to have one hell of a ride. I thought.
Turning around. "Come out of the shadows before I make you." I spoke while forming an ice sword in my hand.
"You will need an army to beat me." it mocked before stepping out.
"An army is only as strong as 4 men, We so happen to have 4 warriors willing to fight you. One being me. We don't want this to be and ice bath now would we?" I joked.
It laughed maniaclly. Before it launched it self at me. I only had a split second to react, rasing my sword I blocked but I was sent flying through multiple trees. "Your a tank great." I joked sarcastically before rushing towards it forming a second ice sword. I went for a downward slash to distract him while I swung to hit him with a strike to the side. It was good but he was unfazed even with all that blood. "What the hell are you? I asked.
"I'm the son of a titan from greek legend You can call me Darkclaw." It spoke in a monotone voice.
"Well no wonder but you set your own trap." I thought once again before rushing towards Darkclaw. I used a flurry of strikes so he could'nt react but he was still unfazed. I went for another over head strike. only for him to grab my sword, I took this time to strike his leg with my other sword hoping I would slow him down. He looked at me once again with the eyes of a murderer.
Smirking. "You won't win with weak attacks like that, Fox." he spoke again in that montone voice.
He shattered both my swords before he pinned me to the ground he was pound me into the ground and with each strike I grew weaker my face swelled up more. I was about to black out when I let out a scream of pain I knocked Darkclaw off of me. I used a new power I formed a water whip out of thin air. I swung it towards Darkclaw It grabbed him by the neck I pulled my self in making one last ice sword this one was differet from my ususal ice instead of a ice blue in color it was a mixture of violet and royal blue I struck him in the head dazing him long enough that I could make my leave. I shifted into my fox form which was pure white with ice blue highlights with my soft laveder eyes. Running all I did was I was to weak to even damage him this is bad. I made to a small lake noticing a girl dancing on the waters surface before passing out from my injurys I shifted into my human form soon after blacking out.
Duchess pov.
I finished my routine as I was skating towards where I set my stuff down. Once I got to the shore of The Enchanted Lake. I started towards my stuff when I noticed something in the corner of my eye. Taking a full look I noticed it was person. Not just that they where in horrible shape. I ran towards the boy. The first thing I did was check his pulse. "Oh my fairygodmother who would do this? I thought tear's welling up in my eye's from the thought.
"Kota what the hell happened to you?" A scruffy voice said walking up.
It was a tall boy with long brown hair. He grabbed his Mirror phone dialing a number.
"Did you see what happened?" He asked sounding serious.
"No I just found him." I let out a small cry thinking once again of what monster could do this.
"My names Timon. and don't worry help is on the way." The now named Timon said.
"I got here as fast as I could, where is he?" Another voice spoke while walking up.
"Who's she?" He asked confused as to why I was there.
"I'm not a she, I have a name you know it's Duchess Swan!" I yelled at the kid in glasses.
"Can you step aside please?" The unknown kid asked politely.
I simply nodded.
He pulled out a small bean giving it to Kota who chewed it in his sleep swallowing it. He opened his eye's he stood up. His bulked out soon later it went to its normal size with all his wounds healed. He pulled his Shreded shirt off along with his vest.
He had the body of someone who been in tons of battle he was ripped and His tattoos only made him sexier. I thought flushing as those thoughts came flowing.
"Thanks guys you to saved me, I didn't think I was gonna make it after the last fight." Kota spoke sounding genuine.
"By the way Duchess you like me don't you, I can tell from your face your making." You deserve way better then me.
"Timon you still have creation magic right?" Kota asked his friend.
"Yeah, what do you need, do you need me to make?" Timon asked sarcastically. Befor using his magic making Kota new shirt and vest taht looked exactly the same as last shirt and vest.
"Well I have to hurry before I'm late for my performance, If you want you can watch Duchess." Kota asked me with a flush on his face.
"I would love to. But I'm gonna treat it like a date, Foxy." I spoke with gitty voice knowing my half sister can't take him from me this time.
The Red Shoes Dance Club.
Kota singing/rapping Italic.
Duchess pov.
"Wait you didn't tell me you are going to perform here!" I yelled in excitement
"You always seem to be suprizing me Foxy." I said to Kota with a blush on my face.
"Hey don't call me Foxy we arn't dating yet." Kota scolding me in a loving way. "Well wish me luck." He said with hopefulness in his voice.
"Fine come here." I spoke while he leaned down I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "For luck." I told him my heart skipped a beat when he went to talk to Melody Piper.
"This is song by one of my favorite artist from my home world They deserve all the credit. Hopefully you enjoy It as much as I did." Kota spoke into the mic.
Insert Outlaw Shit. By Struggle
(Verse 1)
She said storms will never last
So I'm looking out the window like, when it's gonna pass
I need some cash, I did the math, it keeps ending in subtraction
Is it fate or just the laws of attraction? I'll never know
Pa's tracks, fast lane, cocaine dealer
Tryna ease this pain with these painkillers
I don't want my soul to be stained to obtain my wealth
I couldn't learn from his mistakes, I had to make em myself
And I ain't never been scared, but reality is frightening
My 3 year old daughter's name came from my indictments
Like a vh1 story with a hard ending
Shit I'm serving a life sentence and I still got a charge pending
Seems like everywhere I go now, they watching
Hiding this pain in my eyes behind Versace's
Can't sleep I'm too busy chasing dreams
And the fed's sent a posse down like I ain't never seen
Kota stopped to take breath letting the hook play. He look into the crowd spotting Me he gave me a wink causing me to get flustered.
(hook)
Don't you think this outlaw shit has gotten out of hand?
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand
Taking a breath Kota continued.
(Verse 2)
I've always been crazy but it kept me from going insane
I grew up thinking it's part of the game
Them outlaw's always taught me bad guy's were the Feds
don't get high on your supply, your brains will look like eggs
In a skillet, yea can you feel it? forget it
80's baby, crack era, that's how im'a get it
Fresh up outta jail, new plan, new man
But I can't seem to change who I am, I'm a Hustler
I been runnin for so long from them boys
I can't go to sleep without the noise
Television's on,.40 by my head
Laying on the couch while my Shawty's in the bed
If I stay awake till' 5,I'll probably sell another ounce
Shoes tied tight just in case I gotta bounce
Hear their tires hit the gravel, how they know I'm back at it?
Little girl looking, " Daddy why you in the attic?"
I'm hiding.
Kota stopped again to take a breath he look like this song was hitting him hard. But he look like he was rapping from the heart. How is that possible, raps not music.I thought suprized by the performance. So far. He really is full of suprizes.
(hook)
Don't you think this outlaw shit has gotten out of hand?
What started to be a joke, the law didn't understand
Taking a huge breath Kota started up again.
(Verse 3)
But it's a beautiful view, when we're looking down
From this high, over snow capped mountains
Crimson dyed, don't give my momma black roses
I gotta gun, but I'm not strong enough to hold it
Crimson dyed, a broken record for a token
Pay a silver dollar for another crime story
But when your looking down, from this high
And I just made it to the clouds
And it'll be a while before I hit the ground,(let's go)
And taking freedom from me now
Would be like taking water from the nile
Cause the river still flows
From a story a dam couldn't hold
(ight grandpa your turn)
(hook)
Don't you think this outlaw shit has gotten out of hand?
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand
Kota finished with tears in his eyes after 10 seconds of silence the whole club broke out in applause. My body reacted on its own I ran up tackling Kota to the ground in a hug.
Hey guys I hope you enjoyed the song choice it hit's me close to the heart because I accidently was following my real dad's footsteps of beaing a fuck up. I may only be 16 me and my ex had gotten pregnant but she didn't tell me untill she put the kid up for adoption. So I geuss that makes me a deadbeat dad like my old man he to skipped out on me as a baby now I will never see my Little girl because of a mistake. I've grown up around drug use hell even I tried multiple narcotics I'm not saying it was a good choice but I'm also not saying I regret it. Because all those choices helped make me who I am today maybe I will tell you guys my whole story but I don't want no one crying over a kid who made mistakes because I made that choice next chapter you will see why Kota got a power boost which probably saved his life because DarkClaw can magically change the wheight of his body or different parts of his body he shifted his fists wheight to half a ton per fist.
P.s. I didn't name DarkClaw My friend lee thought it was a cool name.
Well this has been Burning Rhapsody. Hex Ya Later!
