Hello everyone and welcome back to HellFall!
So new episode came out yesterday, right? Wrong. Apparently there was some stuff happening during the Rooster Teeth live stream or something that had to do with RWBY, which I think is a really stupid idea considering not everyone watches live streams, let alone Rooster Teeth for anything other than RWBY. That's all I care about with RT anyway. I'm not interested in listening to them cuss for who knows how long just to get a bit of RWBY talk or World of Remnant or something. So far they haven't even posted the supposed World of Remnant episode though, which is pretty dumb if you ask me. But anyways, angry rant over, GIVE US WHAT WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR BUT EXPECTING ROOSTER TEETH, COME ON!
As I neared home it began to rain, hard. I saw lightning in the distance, and heard thunder. I started to run, but quickly stopped as I was unable to see more than two feet in front of me.
Ahead of me I saw a tall figure in the distance. The rain parted before in a straight path, revealing the man from the bus. He wore a white jacket with a dark blue trim and tall collar which was pulled up to his ears. On his lower body were dark blue skinny jeans and sneakers.
Looking up, I saw the rain falling all around me, yet nowhere on this dry path before me, or on the man.
"Who are you?!" I called, rainwater spewing from my mouth as I spoke.
His hands were tucked into his pockets and his back slouched. His leisurely position didn't change.
"What's going on?" I asked.
He didn't reply.
I reached up to the handle of ShoGun, which towered above my head. Before my hand could grasp it the man disappeared, whether he ran or the rain enveloped him I didn't know. Either way, I knew he was still here. The dry path before him had disappeared.
I drew ShoGun and spun around. No one was there. At least at couldn't see anyone. The rain picked up, obstructing my vision even more. Spinning around, I saw nothing but the heavy rain that surrounded me.
Tracing my feet along the ground and spinning, I made sure that I was seeing everything that I could see. The heavy rain made it hard to hear, as well as made it difficult to see. It was inconvenient for me, but the same was for him. I listened for the slightest of disturbances. That seemed to be my only hope.
I heard light shuffling and spun, raising my blade. A man appeared in the air, hands raised above his head. Without a second thought I swung, slicing him clean in half. Blood spilled out and washed away with the rain.
Suddenly I heard a breath and spun, seeing another man charging, dagger in hand. I swung, his knife coming up and deflecting the blow. My knee came up and smashed into his jaw, sending him falling backwards. As he fell I swung, barely catching his neck and decapitating him.
The rain let up on my neck, and I spun, seeing the blue-haired man walking towards me, a dry patch surrounding him. He appeared to be controlling where the rain fell. His semblance perhaps? I thought.
"Not surprised." He said, looking down at the two mutilated bodies, "Too bad"
I swung my blade at him before he'd even finished. His hands came out from his pockets, revealing square-shaped golden rings that covered his knuckles like square plates. ShoGun stopped at his rings, which didn't surprise me at all.
He stepped back, out of my view. I kept ShoGun gripped in both my hands, and faced the direction from which he'd disappeared. My eyes and ears scanned the surrounding area.
Suddenly I felt a sudden jolt to the back of the head. Stumbling forwards I quickly recovered and spun, seeing him standing with his fist outstretched. His face appeared surprised.
I threw myself forward, cutting through the rain with my blade, but nothing more. He'd vanished again.
I felt two more punches in my back, followed by one to the face as I fell. My body splashed to the ground. I felt his hands grip my collar and lift me up. I faked being unconscious.
"How do I turn you off?" He wondered aloud, feeling around my neck.
I spun myself around, dragging my blade through the air towards him. He adjusted his head, avoiding the blow with seemingly no effort.
He punched me in the face, slamming the back of my head against the wet pavement.
I kicked up my feet, throwing myself into the air and back onto my feet. By now he was gone already.
Bending the handle of ShoGun, I allowed it to take on gun mode. However, I held the handle in two hands, so that from a distance it'd still appear to be a sword. I made sure I made frequent, quick turnarounds.
Sure enough, when he appeared next I glimpsed him as I spun, caught myself, and pulled the trigger. He flew backwards, and I saw blood splatter across the sidewalk before rushing down the drain.
The rain let up, and soon disappeared completely. I saw the man lying on the ground with a bloody bruise covered in cuts where I'd shot him. Sheathing ShoGun, I turned around and left. He wasn't dead, I knew that, but he was close enough to send the message.
Back at home I stripped down to nothing and wrung out my clothing before throwing them into my dryer.
I untied my hair to let it hang out and dry. Entering my kitchen, I opened up my main cupboard and retrieved a needle with my required dosage until tomorrow morning. Filling it up, I injected it into my arm, set it back inside the cupboard and shut the doors.
I went and checked my door, making sure all six locks were closed tight before heading to bed. Pulling the blankets over my body, I shut my eyes and waited. Soon I felt myself shutting down for the night, signaling the beginning of sleep.
So there you have it. Have you figured out who the hostile blue-haired man is yet? Yes? No? No worries, If I remember correctly the next chapter tells you anyways.
Also, more on Roy, and specifically his home life. Lives alone, takes drugs, never eats. Pretty sketchy if you ask me.
I'm going to take this chance and advertise my new facebook page, under the same name as my account here. I just started it this weekend, and I post reviews on movies, TV shows, and video games (not sure if video games will happen though). I write a fair amount of reviews on IMDb (Internet Movie Database) and I wanted to put them somewhere where people might actually read them, so here you go! Give that a like if your interested.
One more thing. I'm planning on starting to post an original story of mine on Fictionpress, so if you interested, check in every once in a while. I'm hoping to get the prologue and first chapter up this week perhaps. I'm under the same name, SquigglyCrunch, as I am here.
Anyways, that's about it. So as usual, favorite, follow, review, tell your friends, tell your enemies, or don't if you don't want to and I'll see you all in the next chapter!
