Chapter 20
Bastion, Meg, Jenny, and Wesley walked into the amazonness arena. They scanned the crowd of the clan of bulky women and children who looked similar to their mothers and sisters. Wesley gasped when he saw their competitors. He tugged at Jenny's arm. She smiled and whispered, "You need this." She looked at their opponents. Her blonde hair was braided and she was wearing shoulder pads and some armor she found lying around.
Bastion sighed wondering how this battle would turn out. He laughed as he saw Raoul wearing warrior clothing but shirtless to show a tad bit of flab. Bastion thought Meg can most definitely take down Taniya. I can probably take down my stepfather…how'd he get here anyhow? Jenny can take down my mother, and I am sure Wesley, if he truly wanted to, could beat the hell out of Raoul. He looked over at Meg who was looking forward to this moment.
"Kuroko!" she exclaimed as her panther ran to greet her, "what are you doing here?" The giant feline rubbed against the pale girl's body. Meg thought should I let her fight with me? "Do you want to fight, Kuroko?" The cat nodded in understanding. (Let's say she had a brilliant pet who understood human speech.)
All nine, including our heroic feline, of the fighters stepped onto the middle of the battle field. A large cheer surged through the crowd as Raoul tried to launch a punch at Bastion's stomach. The punch was caught by Wesley who threw it back.
"Raoul, I'm your damn opponent," yelled Wesley as he kicked Raoul in the face. Jenny ran up and did a back flip into the mother of the Misawa family. Bastion and his stepfather were already throwing punches at each other. Bastion broke his mother's second husband's nose. He looked over at Meg who seemed to disappear then reappear for an attack. It was almost as if she was a ninja.
"Stop running away," screamed Taniya as the panther knocked her over. She had never known that Meg had been training after school every day to finally take her down. Meg jumped over Taniya.
"Sorry," Meg replied, "You always said I needed to be faster, stronger, and braver, and now looks who needs to learn from what she's taught." Taniya escaped from the panther's grasp. They began their grueling battle of Taniya using punches and attacking from behind.
Meanwhile, Wesley and Raoul were wrestling. Raoul tried pulling his brother's hair to prove that Wesley had a high tolerance to pain. This surprised the bad actor as he was pinned to his back to have his drug-addict brother choking him without any sympathy.
"Please let me go," pleaded Raoul hoping to save his skin and then go in for the kill. Wesley let go and then punched him in the face. This feels pretty good said Wesley to himself. He looked over at Jenny who had already knocked out his mother. In the amazonness world, that meant Jenny was the winner and the mother was to be kept there until worthy to fight. This meant for a lady in her mid-forties, she wasn't exactly going to be let loose into the world for awhile. Jenny smiled and ran over to assist Wesley.
"You need help?" she asked her boyfriend who was punched in the mouth by Raoul. Jenny who was bruised and had a broken arm jumped on Raoul's back knocking him down. Wesley stepped on him. Raoul and Wesley both bleeding were not meant for this type of confrontation. Jenny smiled as she jumped into her boyfriend's arm. He kissed her on the cheek as they watched the step-dad go against Bastion.
Bastion did not particularly like violence, but he couldn't let down his brother, Meg, or himself for that matter. His step-father had punched him in the stomach. Bastion noticed that his step-father was less attentive to the fight now that his mother had lost to Jenny. I need to take care of this once and for all Bastion noted. He punched his step-father in the stomach making his father throw up crimson blood. The step-father fell to his knees in pain.
"What is your problem, kid?" demanded the man attempting to stand. He took a swing to Bastion's head but fell from exhaustion instead of hitting his step-son. Bastion ran over to Meg who was still battling Taniya. Soon, Taniya was defeated. Meg was once again covered in blood and so was her pet panther.
The crowd had left the stadium and so did Wesley and Jenny. Meg smiled at Bastion who took her hand. "We did it," he said, "though; I didn't think getting revenge meant imprisoning our family." Meg laughed.
"Yeah, your step-dad and Raoul are going to be sex slaves now," she said. He laughed then dropped down onto one knee and pulled out a ring.
"I know timing is awful, but Meg will you give me the pleasure of being your husband?" he asked. She nodded excitedly not noticing Bastion sliding the engagement ring onto her finger.
"Yes," she said happily knowing that they lived through their Romeo and Juliet scenario. They shared a romantic kiss as the sun set.
