francis landed on the ground, but wasnt knocked out. he picked his head up and opened his eyes to see the little boy that bear was with when he was hit with the first combustion wave. the boy had medium long black hair with green streaks, nervous dark green eyes, and he was wearing a big dark green shirt that was a little too big on him and loose black pants.
the boy walked up to francis to see if he was dead. francis jumped up and pushed him to the ground.
"aahhh! wh… who a-are you?" the boy stuttered.
"first off, I ask the questions right now. iv been through too much in only three days just in this one place. what in the world do you keep shooting me with? you don't look like you can even hold a weapon. and why exactly are you and bear trying to kill me?" francis yelled.
"wait. y-you know my brother? how do you know h-him?" the boy asked concerned.
"oh iv known him for a long time. we're really good friends." francis lied.
"I don't believe you." the boy claimed.
"fine. don't believe me. either way, you wont be finding that out." francis said.
"w-why not?" the boy asked wordily.
"what. you don't know? he just left the country. he said for me to leave too. he said there are things here that would kill me. he didn't say anything about you." francis said smoothly, trying to get him to talk.
"w-what? he left? why would he do that? he wouldn't do that. not to me anyway. and iv never even heard him say anything about you. he always tells me everything. I don't even know who you are! who are you? tell who you are and why your here! now! or ill…" his hair started to glow a flaming green. his hands did the same as he balled them into fists. his pupils blended into the color of his eyes as he got more upset. francis noticed that the kid started to get a little teary eyed.
francis, a little worried that his plan didnt seem to work out like he wanted, decided to give it up before he dies.
he gave a sigh. "look. I dont know your brother that well. hes already questioned me about my existence and he didnt leave this boulder field. sorry. I just really needed a mulligan on this whole 'being on my own' thing. my names francis and iv been stuck here for like a week maybe."
the boy was quiet for a minute. his hair, hands, and eyes started cooling down and he went back to normal. then he spoke, "oh. well…. did you see where bear went?"
"yeah, well, I think. I was looking for him when you shot me down. what was that anyway?" francis said.
"uugh…its this stupid thing I was born with. its why I live in a secluded field with zero population and not with any body else except my brother. hes way too big for his size and would never find any reason to fit in. so he lives with me, in the middle of nowhere. I don't remember having a father, but I did have a mother. she used to beat me till I drop. all because of this curse. it sends a wave, a current, straight through the air out of my hands, destroying everything in its path. I can set my hands on fire, giving my concussions an incinerating explosion, but id have to be in some physical or emotional state of mind. I cant control it. its just comes out when im scared and it used to blow up the house we used to live in. every time some one sees what I can do, they send 'people' out to get me. that's mainly the reason no one knows we are here. I can show it to you if youd like. but your gonna have to stand back though. I can be really dangerous at times." and with that, he punched his hands forward, sending the same blasting wave current through the air. his concust obliterated a large boulder a few meters in front of him.
he prepared for a second demonstration, only this time his hands glowed into that green flame thing. he tore his hands through the air, leaving a trail of fire behind in the exact place his hand flowed. he quickly punched both hands through his fire and sent a mass inferno to the other side of the field. almost every boulder that was bigger than his fathers airship was completely destroyed.
"I thought you said you couldn't control it." francis softly said, obviously amazed at what he just witnessed.
"I cant. only when im a little too emotional." the boy replied calmly, "I was thinking about bear actually leaving me."
francis was silent. he was really sorry for telling him that. "listen, I have an order from my father. I have to find a way out of this field sometime today." francis soon said. he turned to leave when he heard the boy.
"yeah. and I have to bear." the boy too turned to leave. before disappearing behind a boulder, he turned to francis, "by the way, my name is Bumi."
"Boomie?" francis tried to pronounce.
"it sounds like boom-ie. but its said bumi." he corrected
"oh. well ok then. I guess goodbye bumi." francis said.
"goodbye francis." bumi said with a wave.
