Here you all go, another chapter to my new exciting story in the Magic The Gathering Universe. Enjoy :)
Here stood two children, a Kitsune and a Human, before a large angry brute of a thug that is trying to kidnap them to take them as crew members for his ship. The man was disgruntled, angry that his two crew members were knocked out by one of the boys that stood against him. The development of the situation had gone in favor of the boys, as Jakus had taken a knife from the thug. "Fine, if you want a real fight, I'll give you a real fight!" shouted the man as he began to run toward the children.
"Canis! Take the knife, I'll punch this fuck into oblivion eh!" yelled Jakus as he threw the knife to Canis. Canis caught the knife, and then bolted right; at the same time, Jakus cracked his knuckles and started to sprint toward the thug. Mid sprint, he reared his fist as far as his arm could go, only to bolt it back at the man into his stomach. The man leaned in with pain, Jakus jumped back, allowing Canis to move in and slice the man's shins to shreds with the knife Jakus stole only moments ago.
The man then straightened up and grabbed Canis by one of his tails before he could escape. "Let me show you a trick I learned sailing the seas!" yelled the man as Canis tried to escape. The man then threw Canis into a nearby building, knocking the wind right out of him. Canis lay helpless as the man began to approach him slowly, "I coined this move, it's called 'Death by Example', and it's my favorite thing." The man's fist then began to glow with a yellow aura; he raised his hand into the air then proclaimed, "Khalia's might be upon me!" He then pointed at Jakus with the glowing hand. Index finger directed at him like a blunderbuss; he whispered, "BANG."
A beam of light then shot from the man's finger tip, reaching Jakus' shoulder and going straight through it like a bullet. Jakus then screamed as blood started to rush from the hole in his shoulder. His cries could be heard all over the island. His scream was heard by Mariah, who had been hiding since the strange men appeared. She was hiding in a nearby building because Jakus and Canis feared for her safety and always made her hide. But, the screams of her friends could not stop her from helping.
Mariah jumped from hiding and put her hands before her in a praying type stance. "I call upon our savior! Khalia, bless my hands as I destroy this beast!" She then started to move her hands apart, creating a large sword between them. She readied the blade in defiance of the man, pointing toward the aggressor, "MAY MY BLADE STRIKE TRUE!" She then sprinted to the man, blade in both hands. Her movements were quick, faster than even Canis could move. Mariah moved her blade to the man's throat, and then plunged the blade into his neck. Blood shot from the man's , covering the angry face of she who attacked him.
Mariah was covered in blood, but was unfazed as she started to move the blade to the man's jaw. The man's eyes were flooded with his own blood, streaming from all opening. His eyes were wide open, showing the pain and fear he was feeling in these last few moments of his useless life. He started to gurgle as his throat was full of blood as he tried to scream for help, only to find that his efforts were as useless as he was. He started to bring tears to his eyes as he started to move his hands slowly to his face, only for them to fall to his sides. The man then fall farther onto the blade, causing his head to be split in two as he reached his knees.
Mariah's blade disappeared into dust, a twinkle in the air from the magical blade she manifested. She turned, face covered in dark red blood, towards her two best friends. Jakus and Canis were horrified by what they saw, but were relieved to know that it was all over. "Sorry I went a little Clicker shit; I just couldn't sit by and watch you guys get beaten like that." Mariah began to walk to Canis who seemed to be in the worst shape. She got to him and reached out to him with her hand, "Come on, let's get an adult to make sure this matter get's straightened out." Canis hesitated to grab her hand; he wasn't that into getting his white fur dirty. He grabbed her hand and pulled himself up from the ground.
Jakus walked to the building that Canis had been knocked into the side of; he was looking around for something to tie the other two thugs up with before they had time to wake up. He eventually found a length of rope and cut it in two. He ventured over to the men and began to tie their arms into binds. "This ought to keep them from getting away." he said as he finished tying the men up.
Canis walked over to Jakus and started to poke his shoulder. "I think you might want to get this taken care of before we go anywhere." Canis then tore a bit of cloth from one of the two men's shirts. He then started tying it to Jakus' shoulder. The wound went all the way through his body, but it seemed like it would end up healing in time. "Magic users make me sick when they abuse their powers. Khalia would be disappointed to find such a vile being using her blessing in such a way. Anyways, we should report this to the base; let them know that pirates made it under their nose and almost killed a bunch of kids."
"I'll take it from here." spoke a man from a few feet away. It was one of the fort's head officers, Officer Jackal. He had just arrived on the scene and saw none of what happened, but was sure that the kids weren't the cause of such a bloody mess. He was tall, his hat was cocked to the side a bit, and his uniform was spotlessly clean. His stance wasn't that of most Officers in the military, he seemed more laid back and relaxed. "I'll need you three to come with me to the fort for questioning. Nothing too hard, just want the incident on record." He then snapped his fingers, making three other soldiers reveal themselves and stand at attention to him. "Clean up this mess, that'll be your last duty for the day." The soldiers then began to grab the thugs and carry them away.
The man noticed that the children were a little distraught, possibly shaken by seeing a platoon show up and start their duties. "I'm deathly sorry, almost forgot to introduce ourselves!' he said as he put his palm to his face. "My name is Third Officer K. J. Jackal, I am head officer of platoon J-17. My friends here are Private L. Primus, Private Plymouth, and Private T. K. We were on our way to receive a cargo of Demon's Eye when we heard a shrill scream coming from the streets."
Jakus raised his hand in solute, "That would've been my screaming eh." He then pointed to his shoulder, showing that he had taken a heavy hit.
"Well, it seems you all made it out with relative ease soldier." One of the privates then walked up to Jackal and nodded his head. "Looks like we're all set here. Alright kids, let's get going to the base so we can get you all patched up and ready to go home."
