Sup guys, bringing you guys a new chapter.
Also, since I'm getting some reviews I'll be replying them and showing it here on this fanfic. Here it is, my response:
Memeking the Third: Yep, Reg is truly in his way. Hopefully, Reg could found a way to dodge it, but seeing what I have in plan for him, that wouldn't be the case.
TheCarlo65: I will...like, right now. But yeah, it is interesting to see Reg in these type of scenario. Some of it seem out of the ordinary...which is gonna be the case for future development.
With that outta the way, let's move on!
Reg found himself sitting on a shuttle alone, making a stop on a near by astroids.
Astroids consisting of several bars, markets, hotels, and other essential buildings. The shuttle landed, as every creatures and beings stepped out of the shuttle, including Reg.
Knowing how transportation work, Reg decided to take a rest stop here, as he head to one of the saloon that is sitting between two hotels.
Seeing that to be the perfect place to rest in.
He enter. The bar was made out of wood. The long, wooden counter is located way at the back, standing next to a small theater. The bar entirely wasn't packed.
There were a few individuals, speaking to each other, laughing, or taking a drink. But not a whole of activity going on. It was pretty quite for the most part.
The only figure sitting at the counter was a figure that Reg ignore, as he sat next to him, unnoticed.
The bartender was a normal human. Bald and muscular built, as he is seen cleaning a mug.
"What do you want, kid?" The bartender asked, "A reminder, we don't serve much alcohol around here. Only soft beverages".
"Umm just some food to eat, please", Reg asked, "Do you have anything special?"
"Not much. Only Potato stew and Butterfly pie".
The mention of butter pie caught Reg interest, "What's a butterfly pie?"
"You don't know? It's one of the more popular pie in this sector. Essentially, it consist of milk and butterfly meat".
"Oh...ummm, I guess I could try it", Reg replied, "I never really heard of it".
"It's on the house", He said, as he pulled out the pie underneath the counter and gave it to him.
The pie has a pale, blue like appearance. As he grab fork and took one bite, the flavor of it was dazzling. The taste was cold. It has a vanilla taste to it, although a bit harden to chew.
Suddenly, he felt a choke coming out. As he try to pat his chest, a drink is pass to him. He took it and drank it quickly, being milk as he consume it.
After he finished and huffing air out, he then replied to the fellow that passes the drink to him, "Thank you".
"Don't mention it".
Then he pauses. Reg stood, as he heard that voice. A voice he recognize before. Turning to his right, he see the figure sitting next to him, as the figure slam the mug down to get the bartender attention.
"Bartender! I got a complaint to you!"
"Huh, what is it?"
"The damn drink isn't drunk enough! I thought you say this is the closest thing to a stinking beer shake?!"
"I told you, we serve soft drink here. I only said that because the taste is quite similar, it doesn't have the same effect".
"WHAT?! So I been trick! You damn, scamming fool!"
"Hey if you want to complain about it, report it to customer service or something. I'm just the guy serving the drinks, not making them".
"Grrr fine! I'll send in the complaint! Right up there a**!" He shouted, as he continue to drown down the drink.
Unknown to him, Reg sat next to him with a shock expression. Jaw dropped, as he recognize him.
It was the same person he met back on Moonstar, when he was a prisoner. It was the same person with the same voice and same appearance.
It was Simffuring, looking exactly the same with long, black, spiky hair, pale skin, a mustache, horns completely shirtless. As well as wearing the same grey, large coat with fur on it and black boots.
He also still has his long, black hook as a hand.
After he finished drinking, he then notice Reg. Despite Reg knowing who he is, Simffuring seem to not have recognize him, "What the hell are you looking at, boy?"
"It's...it you", Reg utter, pointing at him, slowly.
Confuse, Simffuring asked, "What? Are you asking for an autograph or something?"
Reg was suddenly surprise of his lack of remembering, "Wait, you don't remember me?"
"Huh? Remember who?"
"It's me, Reg", Reg explained, "Remember me from the red planet where you, me, and the rest of the others were locked up together?"
"I don't seem to recall that, kiddo. No".
"Come on, you know. You said something about the universe being grander. You also were talking with Gine, Wreck gar, me, and Sari and Bumblebee".
"Uhhhh...no, I don't recall".
"Then do you remember Mon*star?"
"Mon-who?"
Reg gave up, realizing there's no point of trying to remind him of things as he slump over on the counter, "Forget it. Guess it been too long since we last met, anyways. I figure you probably don't remember the stone shard I picked up".
Suddenly, Simffuring spit out his drink by the mere mention of it, as it trigger his memory back and startle Reg, "Wait a second! I remember now! Your the kid I met back on the planet Moonstar!"
"Uhhh yeah, it's me!"
"Xahahahahahahahahaha! How stupid of me to not notice!" Simffuring cackle.
"Well...I'm glad your remembering".
"Gosh it been too long, hasn't it? I didn't even remember you when you mention the stone to me".
"It hasn't even been that long".
Simffuring then asked, "Say, what have you been doing for the past year or so? Been enjoying the freedom life, right?"
"Oh me? I have been traveling, that's all", Reg replied, "I've been thinking of trying to found a new home to stay".
"A home huh?" Simffuring asked, "Your looking for a home, ya say?"
Reg paused and glance at him.
"And what sort of home ya thinking about? A sweet, sweet, sand field beach. A luxury castle filled from the brim of artifacts or good. Or how about a land of underwater rabbits. That sounds good, ain't it?"
"Ummm no", Reg replied, "Good choices, but no...I was thinking of...something new entirely".
"Then what is it? It can't be too complicated, it'll rot your brains. Xaaahahahahahahahaha!"
"Well...it hard to explain it, but I've always dream of somewhere that's...sort of fits me".
"Kid, if you want to search for that type of specific, your out of luck! The universe is large and vast, you'll only get lost by the grandeur of it!"
"Yeah..I guess your right", Reg replied, "But then again, there's a likely hood I could found it".
"Whatever!" Simffuring said, "As for what I'm doing, well...I'm just taking some rest. I'm trying to search for a...specific legend".
"Legend? What legend?"
He drank once more. After he finished, he continue, "A legend...denied by it existence. Nobody knows or heard of it, but it a legend speak of an ability. An ability that no one dare be interested in, but me! Xahahahahahahaha!"
"What ability is it? Does it has something to do with the stone I have here?"
"Probably! Don't know!" Simffuring told him, "All I know is it out there, likely located in the deepest depth of the universe. It could be in a different, primitive dimension for all we know!"
"Well...I hope your successful with that", Reg said.
"Say Reg, now that you mention it, how about you show me the rock you still have".
"The...stone?"
"Yea, let me see it".
After thinking about it, Reg relunctely did so, seeing there's nothing much wrong with him and the fact he's been acting nice to him seem to relieved him a bit.
He show it to him, much to his awe. Glimmering at his eye.
"So it still in tact, huh".
"Uhh...yeah, it is", Reg replied, "I'm still wondering where the other pieces are at. I also wonder more about it origin".
"It's probably nothing! Just a random rock you found or something that some how has power to it!"
"Do you know anything about it?"
"Uhhh, not that I know much about it", He said, "I'm just a random guy you met. Of course I probably don't know much about it".
Reg stood there as Simffuring continue to cackle further more. He stare at the stone, as it glows to him with it half blue and half red flair.
"So kid, what are you going to do afterwards?"
"Afterwards?"
"Yeah, like after you found a new home, new friends, and...well, everything that's going on in your mind?"
"I...I don't know", Reg replied, looking back at the stone, as he ponder over it.
In his own thought, there was two objective in his mind. Found a new home and new friends, and found the origin point of the stones while gathering all pieces of it.
He isn't sure what he'll do with it once they all gather, but he know that this is his only purpose.
A curiosity purpose.
"I'm really uncertain, but I'll figure it out".
"Ah whatever. Whatever your going to do afterwards, it hopefully going to be something of a miracle, that's for sure. Everything is a miracle in this ages, even existence itself regardless how harsh and complicated life may be".
Reg was some what touch by his words. Despite knowing him from long ago of some random guy he met, despite knowing little of him, and despite being a odd character, he was quite...motivational to him.
He can't put his word on it, but for some reason it made him go deeper into his own thoughts.
About everything from his own creation, from his own journey, and from where he is now. His words got to him.
Simffuring then stood up and was ready to leave, "Welp, I'll be going then, kid. It was really nice reuniting with you again, boy. Hope you and I meet again, some day".
As he began to leave, Reg spoke up to him getting his attention and stopping him on his track.
"Hey Simffuring, I got a question".
"Yeah, what is it?"
"Does...my existence matter?"
"What do you mean? Are you hitting a existential crises right now?"
"I'm just asking because...with what I'm going through now, with everything that involve me searching for a new home and all that, will it matter at the end?"
"Kid, I don't know everything or the real answer", Simffuring told him, "I only know what I know. What I do know is it your own existence that decide. Not me, not even the universe itself. The only thing the universe can do for you is guid ya, that's all".
As Reg stood there in silence, he continue speaking, "So go continue with your journey, boy because that seem quite promising to you. Continue what you wanted. As for me, I'm going to do just that. Hell, wouldn't be kinda funny if he come back again as enemy, RIGHT?! Xaaahahahahahahaha! The universe is large, so do with it!"
He then leave, as his cackling laughter is the last thing he heard before he fully disappear out the door.
After everything Reg had been through, he sat there thinking to himself even more. He desire a home, a friend.
At the same time, he wonder if the stones have given him this destine purpose. An objective for him to do. Will it benefit him and anyone around him. Or will it cursed him in mysterious Reg.
Reg cannot be certain. What he is certain, though is that the places he goes to and the people he meet up may be unpredictable further down the line. Wether it is his stone, the objective for a home and new friends, or even..himself.
Reg returned back to the shuttle, joining alongside the many passengers that sat on the steel chairs line out throughout against the side walls.
The shuttle departed, and as Reg sat there with his backpack sitting by his side, all of a sudden the shuttle stopped.
A rubble is felt. Causing some to move or be push a bit further by the cause of this shook.
Reg can feel it, but thought to be just a technical issue going on in the shuttle he is riding on.
Then the passenger door is blasted open from the way back, revealing a dark abyss. All of the passengers were confuse, even a bit worry.
Soon a figure enter the scene. The figure has a rotating like visor that rotate to four different scopes. He wielded two wrist golden guns with two long, barrel tubes. He wore entirely in a black jumpsuit, wear silver armor, and a belt.
He's also muscular built.
Everyone pause and looked at him, intimidated by him as he enter through the room, looking around the place.
Reg can sense danger, as he glance down, hood up.
"Greetings", He begin, "The names Killoff! Infamous bounty hunter and mercenary known to the multiverse. I'm here looking for a certain someone. A certain someone with...a likely huge bounty on it's head. ".
After a long silent moment, he continue, "I'm not looking for trouble. If you know who you are, stepped out in the open and come quietly before I start shooting up the place".
One of the passenger, in a desperate attempt to not die, got up and ran up at him, thinking he could punch him.
Instead, Killoff quickly took notice and shot him dozens of time with his wrist gun, shooting him down as his corpse lay on the ground in the puddle of blood, much to the shock of everyone in the room.
Even Reg was modified by it.
"See that? That's me not hesitating", Killoff continue, "I don't have all day, so your better stop hiding and come out in the open before I start counting the amount of carnage I'm going to start doing in this shuttle".
Reg wasn't sure what to do. He has no idea what this person is talking about, but for some reason he feels the need to put a stop to this some how.
"So no one is going to step out, huh?"
"Sir, who are you even looking for?" One of the person asked.
But before a replied came, he is then shot down by Killoff, mercilessly ending his life, much to the terror of everyone around him.
"I'm looking for a kid name Reg! And I know he's around here".
Reg was shocked to hear his name. He can only assume to be the result of the army he had dealt with. An army connected to an organization, which could surely mean they must've send out bounty based off of him.
"I'm going to count to three, and if I don't see him I'll start killing", Killoff then proceed to count.
As he counted, he began to aim around. Some ducked their head down, some hid behind someone else back ( Particularly the children's ), and some tried to not look.
"1..." He said, aiming at a person sitting and firing, killing him. Causing the wife to cried out and mourn his death.
"2..." He then aim at another person, directly in his face. Firing, killing the figure as he fallen to the ground, "And..."
Not wanting to put everyone in danger and having enough with this, he yelled out before he can strike a three, "Stop!"
Which got Killoff and everyone attention, staring at him as he stood up and approach him in the opening, as everyone backed away from them.
"It's me you looking for, right?" Reg asked, as he pulled his hood down.
"Got that right, kid", Killoff said, "Didn't think you would come out and face me. Honestly, I wouldn't mind causing a blood shed to happen in this shuttle, since most if not everyone in this shuttle has bounty on them".
"What do you want from me? And how did you track me here?"
"To answer your second question, I just picked shuttles randomly", Killoff said, approaching him slowly, "As for the first question, I'll let you guess. Dead bodies, innocent group of villagers, and well...let's just say the report about you is quite interesting".
Reg without hesitation, launch himself at him head on at accelerating speed.
Using his fist, he was going to knock him out, but suddenly Killoff grabbed his fist much to his surprise. He then slam him to the metal ground, pinning him as he squirm and struggle to get out of his grip.
"Stand down!" Killoff demanded, aiming his gun at him.
Reg, not giving up, kicked him in the face, releasing him as he got up and back away.
"Trying to knock me out...lovely", Killoff told him.
Reg position himself in a fighting position. Arms out and giving him a fierce look.
Killoff then proceed to pulled out his sword from his back. He then charges at him. With one swing, Reg leap back as it strike the metal ground.
He swing again. Reg duck down from it.
Reg swiftly moved to the side, as Killoff made the third strike, swinging it down at him.
Reg uses his arm to block it, using it as a shield. Trying to hold him off, struggling to make sure the blade doesn't bend him down.
Killoff then hold his weapon in the air to strike once more, only for Reg to use this opportunity to kick him back, dropping his weapon.
He resume in his position.
Killoff, having no time to deal with this, decided to grabbed the near by innocent person to use as a tool.
He grabbed a child, holding him up with his arm clenching him, as he aim the gun at him.
Reg goes from fierce and serious to highly concern, appalled, and in shocked, "No!"
"Surrender! Or else the child get it!" Killoff demanded.
Reg, not wanting no harm to be given to a child, gave up his fighting position by the indication of his gesture as he nodded and glance away.
Thus pleasing Killoff as he let the kid go from his grip.
Then he proceed to throw at him a grenade ball. A grenade that trigger a electrical net that shocked him and pinned him to the ground, tied up.
As Reg is being electrocuted to the ground, he glance up to see him, as Killoff commented, "Don't feel too bad, kiddo. You going to make me a lot of money".
That's wrap up. What will happen next for Reg? Will he escape?
I won't spoiler too much, but the next chapter will include a guest appearance of a certain someone.
Someone that Reg encounter before...from the previous chapter.
Anyways as always, stay tune!
