Mew Kazurinu: I switch scenes a lot in the chapter, because honestly, writing about traveling has never been of great interest to me, so this chapter is probably not that good so don't bother telling me that.
Chapter 14
The couple soon left the sanctuary of Bastion's father's home after the father had left for his job at the college nearby. Bastion had his bag close to him hoping he wouldn't lose them to some hobo, but his girlfriend was more casual about the situation. It was day one of their journey, and her level of adrenaline was rising to the heavens. Bastion thought it's a new life from here on out. I am a runaway with a girl by my side and I am heading east to get to a boat to save myself from some mess. Well, this trip is far more adventurous than I assumed.
"Bastion," said Meg, "C'mon, if we don't hurry up, then we'll never get to the boat." Bastion nodded in agreement as he pulled out the map. As soon as they got near a highway, the found a green dented car for sale parked in an almost empty parking lot.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asked Bastion ready to steal the car that obviously came from the 70's-80's.
"We don't have a key for the ignition, but other than that, I'm all for it," replied Meg. Bastion opened the glove box to see a dirty silver key. That was too easy, thought Bastion as he held it up. They, of course, would have to abandon the car at their next stop.
"Let's ride!" said the hyper Meg jumping the passenger's seat. Bastion slid in the driver's seat. They rid in the old car with the radio blaring to some classic rock station. Meg was car-dancing until it hit nightfall.
"Where do we stay?" inquired Bastion unfamiliar with the area. They were somewhere in the country side, a place no one had ever taken him before. Meg looked around thinking she saw a large figure disappear into the shadows.
"I think there is an amazonness colony nearby," replied Meg getting out of the car.
"Will they let us in?" asked Bastion worried.
"Maybe if we fulfill a requirement of course," said Meg hesitantly. I don't know what type of clan this is, so we must be careful. I will protect us thought Meg pulling out a dagger. The two followed the figure until they reached the clan. A small Amazonian child with a dark tan, brown eyes and tangled hair spotted them.
"Trespassers!" she yelled pointing at Bastion and Meg. Many of the bulky women stared at them with unfriendly eyes. The child yelled, "There's a man."
"We need a place to stay," firmly said Meg standing in front of Bastion, "and as for the man, he's my property." She sighed thinking I'll have to explain to Bastion about amazonness owning certain men.
A woman around Taniya's size and stature stood in front Meg, "Do you know of our customs? You don't look like much of an amazonness, but you seem like a runt." Bastion stared at his, apparently, diplomatic girlfriend who obviously knew what to do.
"I come from a clan in the south east," Meg explained, "My name is Megara, and as for not looking like much of a typical amazonness, I was a sickly child and never got proper training or nutrition." The amazonness nodded wondering if she should let them stay or not.
"And what makes you think you can stay here?" inquired the Amazonian woman.
"I don't," answered Meg calmly though she had to ad lib an answer instead of being cowardly and shy, "but do you think that losing another one of you and a possible way to bring about children would be good for our people?" Bastions figured suddenly amazonness own men for possibly more of their type, no wonder Meg called me her property. That was to protect me. I wonder what the requirements are to stay. Meg also said whilst her boyfriend was in the midst of his thoughts, "We need one night, and then we will be on our way."
"Fine, you know that we have our requirements, and I, as my clan's leader, decide on that," the Amazonian leader announced loudly grabbing the rest of her clan's attention.
"Of course," replied Meg confidently. How hard could it be to fulfill it?
"You have to beat our top warrior in a fight. Whoever falls loses," acclaimed the leader. Bastion and Meg gave each other worried glances. Bastion thought if she loses, she'll be seriously injured and we'll have no place to stay, and I think these battles are much different than the fights at our school.
"You have a deal. Is it hand to hand or are weapons allowed?" inquired Meg confidently.
"Hand to hand," the leader said wondering how much talent Meg actually had. Who knew what she was capable of if her abilities were never actually tested?
After a bloody battle that took place for about 45 minutes, Meg won the mêlée with a blow to the Amazonness's one weak spot, her neck. Meg thought I did it! I actually won! She stumbled over to Bastion weakly.
"You did it!" exclaimed Bastion giving her a tight embrace, "that was incredible!" He kissed her forehead. Meg hugged him back with as much strength that she had in her. The leader tapped the champion's shoulder making Bastion turn his girlfriend around.
"You have won," the chief said, "You will be allowed to stay, and we will be honored to have you here whenever you wish." Meg nodded in appreciation holding on to Bastion's arm for support.
"Thank you so much," said Meg as they were led to where they were going to sleep and where food was to be delivered to them shortly. There was a tub of water, two cots, and a small wooden table.
"You should bathe, you are drenched in blood," observed Bastion laying down on one of the cots. Meg took the words to heart as she jumped into the bath fully dressed. She reasoned there is no way that I am getting undressed in front of him at least not yet. She scrubbed down with a hard sponge that was near her.
"You're just lucky they didn't make me cage you," teased Meg as she wiped some of the blood away from her face. They laughed as Meg came out of the tub dressed and wet and one of the women came in with food.
Meanwhile at the hotel, Raoul was whining on how his darling mother was yelling at him because he couldn't find his youngest brother. Wesley slammed his head against the desk. Though he was drunk, his older brother still annoyed the crap out of him. Chazz was sitting on the couch nearby the chair Mindy was sitting in.
"Someone shut the bitch up," said Mindy angrily covering her ears. Honestly, Raoul was more of a whining bitch than Missy (A/N: remember the episode when Syrus became a Ra) when Zane had turned her down for some other girl that he never confessed his love to.
Chazz stood up deliberating the idea that he'd probably be kicked out of the hotel after this was all said and done. Mindy better thank me for this, but I am mainly doing myself a favor. He grabbed Raoul's collar from the front desk and said, "Shut the hell up! No one gives a fucking damn about your mom screaming at you for being a dumbshit." Raoul looked offended and bitch-slapped Chazz across the face.
"Who asked you, you emo!" retorted Raoul.
"Did you just call me an emo?" said Chazz jumping over the desk punching Raoul in the kidneys. "I am not an emo! Emo's are Goth-posers." He kicked Raoul in the shins.
"Oh whatever, you are just an angry fool cause you can't get laid by some girl…" said Raoul pulling Chazz's hair. Chazz punched Raoul's hair making Raoul fall backwards yanking out some of the pale-man's black spiky hair.
"Well, you can't get laid by man, woman, or beast," snarled Chazz giving his opponent a black eye and choking him until Raoul passed out. Everyone stared in disbelief. Who knew Chazz was such a violent soul?
"You are my hero," said the wide-eyed Mindy thinking Chazz is so amazing and strong to. Chazz rubbed the spot on his head where Raoul had pulled out a chunk of his hair.
"Well, you can do it next time or you can do something else for The Chazz," Chazz replied with a smirk.
Mew Kazurinu: Thank you to rurouni shadow for the great Chazz vs. Raoul idea. Well so I'm wondering what Chazz wants from Mindy and what is next for Meg's and Bastion's great adventure?
