Here's the next chapter. This time, Vexx and Conker show each other just who they're messing with, but things take a strange turn at the end. Please enjoy! ^_^
4 - The 2 "Enemies" Fight
"Zere he is!", Kriplespac remarked. Both looked down at the indifferent squirrel sitting around on the the grass below them. Both were slightly confused from Conker's behavior.
"Vell, he doesn't look like he's doing anysing right now…", he mumbled. "Vell, he better vatch out for your little friend vhen he comes to get him.", he added.
Dark Yabu developed a slightly annoyed facial expression. Yeah, "friend" being the operative word...just so long as Vexx gets annihilated…
They both continued to look down for a few seconds before seeing Vexx slowly climb down one of the trees farther from them.
"Oh! Zere he is again! Zere's Vexx! I sink he sees Conker! Quickly, let's observe!", Kriplespac ranted, and with that, the 2 slowly approached the situation while still remaining over the trees. They left a gap open between some trees so that they can further observe the situation.
Meanwhile, Conker was still sitting on the grass beneath him. He moped around persistently, still messing with the fur on his tail. He began to grow tired as his surroundings remained soundless. He also began to wonder if he was even going to receive the promised $30,000 reward should he discover the whereabouts of the suspect shown on the newscast. Even though he did receive money for doing good deeds most of the time, he still had his doubts from time to time.
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted when he felt something sharp slice against the left part of his muzzle. He stood up quickly and hissed as he held onto the cut tightly. His eyes were glued shut and his teeth clenched together.
"Ah, what the heck..!", he grunted, still holding tight onto the fresh cut on his muzzle. After a few moments, he removed his hand from his muzzle and opened his eyes slightly, observing it; there was some blood on his hand that apparently came from the cut. The rest of his surroundings were non-existent at this point, but if he were to look directly in front of im right now, he would receive one hell of a surprise.
He continued to persistently paw at the cut just to see if it was actually there, but a more rough touch on it would send him hissing and groaning once more. He shook his head.
"What the heck was that? How did this happe-", his speech was interrupted when he looked directly in front of him. Who was this person standing before him? He looked somewhat familiar-ah, yes! The picture! He pulled out and looked at it, followed by the being before him, then back again. He began to compare the 2: spiky, blue hair, big, blue eyes, and red talons? This is when he realized that he had found the man responsible for destroying a village in his homeworld.
They both pointed accusingly at each other after finally meeting for the first time. "Hey, you're that guy that destroyed that village! Why don't you turn yourself in so I can get that reward they promised me!?", Conker shouted.
Vexx's facial expression went from rage to confusion within seconds. Destroyed a village? I didn't destroy a village!, he thought to himself as he finally placed his arm to his side, but then he assumed a fighting stance. YOU destroyed one, though!, he growled.
Now it was Conker's turn to develop a confused facial expression. He didn't understand why Vexx wasn't saying anything. He can talk, right?, Conker thought to himself. Then why isn't he saying anything?
"Look, I know you're angry and all for some reason, but maybe we can talk this out face-to-face…? Then after that, you can just turn yourself in so that I can get this money that's waiting for me...", he asked.
This only made Vexx even more angry because to him, Conker was acting like he didn't know anything, even though he recalled him being the one that destroyed a forest near his home. Conker remained as confused as ever from the situation, but nonetheless tried to keep his cool, that is, until Vexx would suddenly pounce towards him. Conker thought quickly and tried to hold Vexx back with all of his might, pressing his fingers into his shoulders as hard as he could, preventing Vexx from advancing forward. All the while, they were grunting in sync with each other
The wrestling continues for some time until Conker violently pushed Vexx aside, causing the Astaran to stumble backwards, but just before Vexx could regain his balance, Conker would take this opportunity to pin Vexx down on the grass beneath them. Conker's grip was tight on the Astaran's arms and he was seated firmly on Vexx's torso. Vexx struggled violently, but Conker wasn't getting off anytime soon.
Hey, let me go, you filthy rat!, Vex growled persistently while struggling here and there, trying to break away from Conker's grip.
"Look, I don't know what you want from me, but I'm not trying to fight anybody right now. How about we just calm down and talk for a moment, then I can get the money I deserve!?", he grunted, getting impatient.
Conker's hold on Vexx wouldn't last for long, however, as he reached over to his right side, giving Conker's arm a sharp bite. The bite went deep enough into Conker's arm to draw blood. Luckily for Vexx, Conker's right arm would let go of Vexx long enough for him to escape from beneath him.
While Vexx escaped, Conker would grip tightly on the arm drawing grunted as the sharp pain got worse.
"Damn you…", he groaned. Conker seemed off-guard at this moment, so Vexx took this opportunity to pin Conker into a nearby tree via his neck, his metal talons barely missing his neck as he gave the red squirrel an evil scowl. He slowly drug a talon across Conker's shoulder. He managed to get deep enough to rip part of Conker's sweater, but not enough to draw blood yet again.
Conker choked, trying to pry off Vexx's hand to no avail, but some quick thinking allowed Conker to perform a violent kick against Vexx's gut, knocking the wind out of him. Vexx coughed persistently as he struggled to catch his breath.
Despite the situation Vexx was in right now, it seemed like he was still winning this fight, as he managed to draw blood from Conker. Twice. Conker had yet to make Vexx bleed out from somewhere.
That was a cheap shot. He still hasn't broken my skin yet…, he panted.
But Conker would prove this wrong as he brought out a chainsaw - his trademark chainsaw, to be exact. He quickly whirred it and growled at a recovering Vexx. While Vexx was still off-guard, Conker took this time to say:
"Alright, it looks like we'll have to do this the hard way…", he growled. When Vexx finally regained his composure, he looked up towards Conker and gasped.
A chainsaw!? You Can NOT be serious…, he growled.
Conker smirked. "That's it; you're one dead bitch!", he chuckled, charging toward the enemy facing him, hoping to land an attack on him, only for him to dodge the rather swift attempt. This only made Conker angrier as he was determined to defeat Vexx once and for all.
Conker made a few attempts to hit Vexx with his chainsaw, but most of the time it passed through a few trees, causing them to be cut from their stumps and fall over.
Vexx huffed. That's too sad; he can't even get a good shot at me!, he chuckled, repeatedly dodging Conker's attacks.
But Conker would show just how good he was with this chainsaw as he charged once again; he attempted to plan a finisher on Vexx, only for the Astaran to block the attack with one on his talons and throw him to a very short distance. He grunted from the force of hitting the ground and his clothes were becoming stained from the dirt beneath the grass.
Just as he got from the ground, Vexx swiftly attempted to plant an attack on the downed Conker, only for him to completely notice and dodge the attack; his arm remained outstretched as Conker then took his chainsaw back out and gave Vexx a nice bladed swipe on his arm. He roared in pain from the sensation as he covered his blood-filled arm with his other hand.
Well, I was wrong; he managed to draw blood from my arm…, he grunted.
As Vexx remained distracted onto the small, yet deep wound bleeding out from his arm, Conker then pounced onto him; he was now beneath him. He ghosted the still whirring chainsaw toward his neck. This was supposedly the end of this battle.
"Say hello to my little friend.", Conker chuckled smugly.
Just as Conker was supposed to finish Vexx off, they paused to hear a loud rustling noise. They both looked up to see something falling...towards them.
Wow, I guess my aim wasn't all that good after all…, Conker thought to himself, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Apparently, one of the many trees that Conker managed to cut down was now about to fall directly on top of them. Neither of them immediately thought to move out of the way, but without thinking, Vexx pushed Conker from off of him, causing him to land face up onto the dirt away from Vexx. His chainsaw was still whirring, so he turned it off, and just after he did so, the tree fell on top of Vexx; he was completely smothered in the rather heavy tree upon him. Conker winced as this happened.
At this point, Conker was clueless on what to do now. His instincts told him to help Vexx from under the tree, however he had some doubts as he did try to kill him. We had yet to know what Conker would do with the smothered Vexx.
Dark Yabu and Kriplespac saw the whole fight between Conker and Vexx. It seemed like their plan was halfway complete, as Vexx was now unconscious at this point. Dark Yabu smirked and let out a low chuckle; he seemed happy that Vexx was out of his way, however the same can't be said for his companion next to him.
"Ugh, damnit! Conker is still alive! I can't believe zis! Zey were supposed to kill each other, but your little friend saved zat little rodent!", he rambled.
Dark Yabu was noticeably unamused by Kriplespac's complaining. Oh, quit your whining, professor. At least one of them is dead. We'll just have to find another way to destroy your little squirrel friend… he thought to himself.
"Vell, ve'll just have to find another vay to destroy him, but how…?", Kriplespac mumbled.
At this point, it looked like Dark Yabu and Kriplespac would have to find a different way to destroy Conker, since it seemed like only Vexx was defeated at this moment, and they wanted both gone. What neither knew, however, was that Vexx wasn't quite over with yet. He might've been done for at the moment, but that doesn't mean that he was done for forever.
I might publish 3 chapters a week, since I did that last week. To be continued...
