Chapter 3

Search For A Hero

Ness stared at Jack who was still sobbing in the corner after what Ness had said last night. It was morning now. Jack had been up all night crying. Ness had slept in Jack's bed since Jack was not going to. Ness grabbed his baseball bat from his backpack and gently nudged Jack with the end of it.

"What do you want?" Jack sobbed.

"Breakfast." Ness simply replied. Jack's stomach grumbled after Ness mentioned breakfast. He was actually quite hungry. Crying for a whole night makes a man hungry. So Jack stood up and walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out some eggs. He then grabbed a frying pan, cracked the eggs and began to cook.

About an hour later Ness and Jack were sitting at the table again. This time they were full, and Ness didn't lick the floor. hey both simultaneously stood up.

"Well, I guess I should go do my work out on the farm." Jack groaned.

"You can't go work on the farm!" Ness exclaimed. "We have to find that second source of energy and get going. We need to find those other three heroes!"

"But I have a job to do." Jack replied.

"Screw that! Hire someone to take care of it!" Ness screamed.

"I can't hire someone to take care of my farm!" Jack yelled back. "No one is properly experienced in this town to care for my animals and plants. Well, except for those kids..."

"Then go get the frickin' kids!" Ness bellowed. He didn't have time to wait for Jack to get done with his little chores. He needed to find the lizard, the swordsman, and Chuck, so that they could take down the Shade Empire.

"I'll call them real quick then." Jack said. He walked over to his phone and called the kids that he had spoke of earlier. Within minutes a knock came from outside of the house. Jack and Ness walked over to the door. Jack opened it to reveal three children. They were about Ness's age. Two of them were boys, and the other was a girl. The first boy had extremely short brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a yellow tank-top and blue shorts. The other boy had black hair that was covering his eyes. He had what looked like a school uniform on. And the girl had black hair in pigtails. She had gleaming black eyes, and was wearing a red dress. Ness ogled at the girl. He thought she was pretty cute looking. "I need a favor from you three." Jack began.

"What type of favor?" Asked the boy in the tank-top.

"I need you to care for my farm, while me and Ness go on a trip."

"Who's Ness?" Asked the other boy.

"The kid next to me." Jack replied.

"Uh, Jack, I think I'll stay here and help the pretty girl and the weird guys care for the farm." Ness said. He was staring at the young girl.

"What! You're the one who wants to go find the third... I mean see our cousin." Jack said.

"Nah, I'll stay." Ness said. The young girl giggled. Ness was starting to piss Jack off right about now.

"No you're coming, and we are going right now!" Jack yelled. He then grabbed Ness and his large golden hammer and drug Ness off out of the farm. Jack dragged Ness at least a mile, until they hit a a cross road. Jack then stopped.

"What the hell was that!" Jack yelled.

"Girl...pretty." Ness stammered.

"God." Jack smacked his face. "Forget the girl!"

"Okay... Sorry." Ness said.

"Can you tell me where that other energy source is?" Jack asked.

"It feels close by again. This time it isn't you. This energy is way stronger. It's coming from down that road I think." Ness pointed down one of the roads. In the distance you could see several bulidings.

"That is in town. How will you be able to find the source in the town? It gets pretty crowded in there." Jack said.

"Yeah right." Ness laughed. He then pointed to a sign. he then started to read it. "Maple Village, 1 mile away. Population 34. That is crowded." Ness laughed.

"Who the hell put that sign there? Obviously that was made by a prankster."

"Oh yeah, I'm sure it was." Ness then noticed another sign. This one was far more decorative then the last. "Come to the town square to meet the world famous Luck Forest? Who is that?"

"Huh?" Jack said. "Someone must have putt he wrong name on the sign. Lets go check it out. maybe we'll find that other energy source while we are there." Jack and Ness set off again towards the town. Hopefully the third hero would be there to meet Luck Forest. Whoever the hell he is.

Jack and Ness walked through the empty town. Ahead of them they could balloons in the town square, which was looming over the small town. Ness and Jack ran up the stairs leading to the square. They reached the top to here laughter. There was a man surrounded by the town citizens. He had red hair and a beard. He was very muscular. he was apparently the one who had made the people laugh. he was holding a piece of paper reading off of it.

"Here's a good one. There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live." The man said. Everyone broke into laughter. Jack and Ness looked around the square. They noticed that there was a sign next to the man. It read, 'The World Famous Chuck Norris'.

"I don't see any Luck Forest., all I see is Chuck Norris." Ness said.

"Hmm. Wait! The sign must have meant , 'Come see Chuck Norris', not Luck Forest." Jack concluded. "So do you feel any energy?" Jack asked Ness.

"Uh, yeah. It's coming from near Chuck Norris." Ness said.

"Oh, I like this one." Chuck Norris said. "Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door." Everyone began to laugh again.

"That was pretty funny." Ness said.

"Yeah it was." Jack agreed.

That ends the third chapter. That was unexpected. I mean really, Chuck Norris! Could he be the next hero? And how many more of his facts will he read off? Please review and read the next chapter:)
