Hello my fiends of the dark and friends of the light. I know the name change is sudden but I felt it speaks more about later on the story than the other. I'll explain later. But for now let's read on. Oh and BTW this will be a dark chapter.
Albotross is reliving some anger in Murray's gym. Three days ago Sly and Carmelita informed Kittrina and him about the letter that came from Kittrina's birth parents. They also explained that they only had a week to figure out a way to stop her mother from trying to come and take her by force. Kittrina broke down in tears at how her own birth mother only mentioned Kittrina as an object. Growling deeply Albotross reels back his last punch and splinters the training dummy with the final blow.
My sister, my mate, and one of my best friends. And her own flesh and blood mother treats her like some lost pet. He rants in his head as he sets up another dummy, the sixth of the twenty in the building, and the next victim of Albotross's anger. He needs to vent, but Sly and Carmelita are getting tired of resetting the power in the house every three hours when he fires off some bolts of energy. He sighs as he relaxes himself a little taking up a boxer stance.
He starts punching his dummy, first in the face. Once, twice, then a punch to the core with his right, lifting the dummy and it's stand about two feet. He dodges left and ducks as he pretends he's fighting an actual person. Then uppercuts, the head and the plastic start to stretch a little farther than what it's made for. Albotross growls again, more to himself for hitting to a breaking point already, but keeps going. He looses a right cross to the body and then a haymaker to the face, once again the dummy stretching a little further than it needs and the sound of plastic straining to hold together.
Albotross keeps this up for an hour, switching fighting styles every ten minutes. He's now in kick boxing and is landing critical low and high kicks bashing in the plastic dummy. He's kicking the face left and right spinning the dummy around. He pulls off a street fighter whirlwind kick and then leaps up and axe kicks the dummy cracking it in half.
"Wow kiddo. I thought you were joking when you said you needed to break something. How many dummies is that?" Murray asks.
"Six. And I'm still not satisfied. Got anything harder, something that doesn't tear or break easily when I hit it full force?" Albotross asks.
"Nope, but I think Bentley has something for you to hit. I'll have him send it over tonight. For now help me clean and then head home. I'm closing the gym for the day." Murray says. Albotross nods and grabs a broom.
A few hours later Albotross is walking out of the gym with Murray, who locks the door behind them as they exit. Albotross heads to his car and Murray goes to his van, a family mini van.
"Tell aunt Beatrice I said hi, and tell little Benny he should come to work with you more. I miss the little guy." Albotross says giving Murray a hug. Murray hugs him back and nods patting im on the back before getting into his van.
Murray met a female oxen five years back, Beatrice, and after a year they were married. The wedding was military style per her family traditions. How Murray passed her father's scrutiny, especially how much he got food all over the place. Although uts easy to see how he won his respect, being a professional wrestler, and how much strength he has backing him. Her father actually challenged Murray, only took Murray ten minutes to gain the man's respect, by not finishing the beaten and worn man.
Benny is the three year old son of Murray and his wife. A full blown hippo like his father, Benny has a lot of strength for a three year old, although he likes Bentley's profession a bit more and so is usually playing games or messing with a laptop.
Murray drives off and makes a left in the opposite direction of Albotross's home with Sly and Carmelita. Albotross sighs and calms himself before he starts the car. He heads off and makes a right out of the parking lot. He drives by a couple of sweets shops, mostly chocolate or caramel in the dim windows.
What I wouldn't give to have a piece of caramel to suck on. At least maybe then I could have something sweet to take my mind off of Kittrina's egotistical mother. Albotross thinks as he drives out into a more desolate part of town. The farther he drives the less light he has to go by except for his headlights. Ten minutes later he nearly runs into someone in the middle of the street.
"Holy mother-." Is all he says before swerving to miss the pedestrian. He manages to miss the person, and ends up on a sidewalk inches from doing more damage by hitting a brick mailbox,( you know the one, it's literally built into the ground like a miniature dog house out front and it deters most people from trying to vandalize it with a baseball bat for practice.)
"Oye cabron what the fuck are you doing?! I could have hit your ass?" Albotross says getting out of the car growling.
"Yo madicon you listening?" Albotross growls walking over to the figure. No other cars seem to be active on the street and the figure is just standing there.
"Puta I'm talking to you!" He finally yells and grabs the figures shoulder. The head falls off it and in the dim light Albotross sees the stuffing poking out the neck from the head and body.
What the fuck!? Albotross thinks as he backs away and crouches on all fours. Luckily he did cause a kunia throwing knife barely misses his ears by hairs as he touches the ground. Albotross growls in his throat and sniffs the kunia to get a scent. His ears twitch as he gets a scent and he dodges left narrowly being skimmed by three more kunia.
"You know, you Puta's should stop wearing a scent of the forest. Cause while it could camouflage you at extreme distances, I can still smell you and your sweat." Albotross growls, electricity sparking off his fur. But today instead of its usual blue hue, it's a bright red. He hears someone say something in Japanese and he transports himself through a bolt to directly under the attackers.
"Next time keep quiet and stay out of my way on days like today." He growls before using a fist coated in the red lighting to uppercut, flying into the first attacker and sending the other into the street. The one Albotross is punching in the solar plexus manages to roll off him and falls to meet the other on the ground. Albotross takes his time walking to the two groggy attackers.
"Alright. Now I'm gonna ask some questions real nice like. If you cooperate, I fix your partner there before he died from internal bleeding." Albotross says, the one he punched confirms to their partner he's telling the truth, by coughing up large amounts of blood. Flicking open his claws Albotross forms the red lighting into a gauntlet then some spikes poking out of his knuckles.
"First question, do you speak French, English, or Spanish?" He asks, the figure spits at him, the glob of spittle landing on his boot.
"Wrong answer." Albotross shoots a spike into the attackers knees. They scream in pain, the scream is feminine.
"OK! OK! I can understand you wolf-san! I speak French!" She answers. Albotross nods in approval at her change in decision. Then he smiles and kneels down and removes her hood to reveal a red panda, (think of a raccoon but with red white and black stripes.)
"Alright my lady, now why were you trying to kill me?"
"It is what we do. Nothing more." She says. Albotross shocks her abdomen she screams louder, amazingly no one wakes up.
"Lie again and the next one makes you impotent." He says
"Our lady hired us!" She exclaims as the red electricity subsides.
"Why, and fair warning, next one goes in one of those pretty little eyes my dear." He says aiming his fist with the spikes right at her face.
"She wants no fights over when she arrives so she sent us to take out the oldest males of the household, seperatly. The raccoon hasn't left the house all day, we saw an opportunity with you." She whimpers staring down the spike bolt that's aimed in her eye.
"Pfffft, for assassin ninja you two are the worst I have ever seen. But wow you are self centred if you give in with the eyes. At least the last person to see this fought till he needed medical attention. I had to pry the information from his corpse. Alright final question Mon Cher. Who sent you?"
"They will kill us if I tell you!"
"Who says I won't kill you right now my dear, because honestly I don't give two flying rats shit." Albotross says turning and pulling his fist back so that the spikes are aligned to go up the torso then the head.
"...It was lady Foxhunt. She sent us so that miss Montoya would be to grief stricken to argue with my lady." She says barely above a whisper. Albotross smiles and lowers his fist, right before the electricity fades back into his body it returns to its blue color.
"See now that was not so hard. You two are the only ones correct?" He asks going over to the still blood coughing animal next to her. He kicks the person gently so they're on their back. Then with the energy flowing through his foot, heals them. The sound of bones fixing and organs stitching back together can be visibly heard.
"Thank you kind wolf. But we are now traitors. If we return we will be killed." She says as the other figure calms as the energy finishes it's job.
"Can't say that I care. For all I know you were never here. I never saw two ninja in the trees try to kill me and fail miserably. For all I know your two strange people who I just happened to help. Now get lost before two bodies end up in the eleven o'clock news reel, mauled after being fried by stray lighting." Albotross says before turning and walking back to his car. He watches through his rearview mirror as the red panda picks up her partner and walks back into the forest. Then he shoots red bolts into his conjoined trunk and listens peacefully as a third attacker is shocked to death, screaming in pure agony as the voltage courses through his body and slowly and painfully kills him.
"If there are more of you guys I just found my stress reliever." Albotross says with a sadistic grin as he backs up, opens the trunk by pushing a button on his dash and speeding off, letting the corpse roll out.
OK folks I know this got pretty dark. But it's the path of the Anti hero for you. They save many by killing a few. But these chapters will be few and short...usually. Any who hope you enjoy the next chapter that's coming soon, and the name change. Don't worry you'll find out who Trinity is shortly. Till next time my fiends and friends.
Remember to keep the balance!
