Chapter 12 Into town the two friends go

It was day time at cait shelter guild Zodie and Wendy were sitting inside Wendy's room carefully watching over the egg as it sat upright on a pillow. The kids have been at this for half an hour now, sitting there watching and waiting for the egg to hatch or even the slightest shake.

"Uhhhhhh I'm so bored I never knew taking care of an egg would be so boring" Zodie whined.

"Zodie you just gotta be patient" Wendy said

"I know but still I'm just eager to see what sort of creature is in this egg is it a Phoenix a dragon or a new species". Zodie exclaimed

"Oh man Just the thought of discovering a new species we'll be real famous and have tons of money" Zodie started getting excited.

This caused Wendy to get a little worried she grabbed the egg for protection giving zodie a stern look.

"NO ZODIE if that were to happen then a lot of mean and bad people would try and take the creature away from us"

, land you wouldn't want that would you"? Wendy asked

Zodie pondered a little

"Okay yeah you're right I'm sorry Wendy I'm just soooo boooooored of just sitting here".

Zodie said as he fell onto his back

Suddenly a knock was heard at the door and in walked Lupita carrying a tray of snacks for the kids with some juice.

"Hey there kiddos hope your hungry" Lupita said

"Are we ever" Wendy said grabbing the juice from the tray

"Are you two still watching over the egg"? Lupita asked

"Yep we slept in this room together and have not left it to use the bathroom" exclaimed Zodie

"Ew zodie" Wendy complained

"Okay okay I haven't been to the bathroom but the point is we're serious about hatching this egg".

Lupita then sets down the trays and places her hands on both Zodie and Wendy

"Alright look how about you kids take a break and get out of this room, a little sunshine will do you kids some good" Lupita said as she ushered us out of the room

"But what about the egg Wendy" asked

"I'll look after it in fact here" Lupita dug into her pocket and pulled out some jewels and handed it to Wendy and me.

"Why don't you kids go into town you can pick up a couple of items for the egg and use the extra remainder of it for a treat" Lupita smiled at us.

"Okay" Both the kids said in unison

They ran out of the room heading towards their destination.


Coming towards town

Zodie and Wendy are hitching a ride with Keanu in a carriage towards the nearby town, after a couple of minutes they arrive at the entrance of the village. Zodie and Wendy hop off the carriage.

"Okay you two take all the time you need to gather up the supplies I'll be here waiting for you two"

"Okay" the kids said.

"Also take this with you" Keanu handed the kids green crystal shaped orb

"What is it"? Zodie asked

"It's a communication lacrima"

"Zodie looked even more confused"

Keanu then explained

"Lacrimas are substances used for many different purposes, this one is used for communicating with people far away"

"Here let me show you"

Keanu then used his magic power to use the lacrima making the lacrima zodie was holding blinking in a green color. The kids then looked at it and then Keanus face appeared.

"Whats up is it working"? Keanu asked

"Wow" the kids were amazed by this

"That is so cool" Wendy said

"Yeah now that you know you know to use it for emergencies so make sure you guys don't lose it" Keanu told them

"Yes Keanu" The kids said together Zodie placed the lacrima in his pocket and the kids ran off into the town.


Into the town

Zodie and Wendy ventured off into the city exploring many sights they've never seen before. It's been so long since Zodie has been in a city and as for Wendy she's probably never been inside a town so she was more than excited.

"This is great, I haven't been in a town in like a year I forgot how it felt" Zodie said

"I've never been to a town before so I feel a little nervous" Wendy told her friend nervously

"Hey don't worry, you're not alone in this and also think of this as getting your feet wet" Zodie said reassuring his friend.

Wendy then grew a smile on her face and felt less nervous now that her friend was there helping her out. She looked back up to Zodie with a smile on her face,

"Okay then your right thanks Zodie" Wendy said happily.

"No problem wendy now lets go got a lot of stuff to see and get for the egg"

"Okay let's do it".

And on through the town the kids went it was a good thing lupita gave them a map of the town so it would be easy for them to navigate. For the past few minutes the kids went from shop to shop to buy the supplies they'd need for the egg, since they arrived to cait shelter they learned how to count money and they caught on pretty quick so it wasn't hard for them to count the amount jewel needed.

"Alright I Think that we got what we needed" Zodie said as he and Wendy came out of a nearby store with a basket of products.

"And look we still have enough left over, what do you think we should buy with the rest"? Wendy asked.

"Well I was kind of thinking we could look around town a bit more you know, explore the town"

"Your right okay where should we go first" Wendy replied

"Lets check out this part of the town first" Zodie said.

After that the kids were off for even more sightseeing there was restaurants clothing store's and even a beautiful fountain in the middle of the town, they heard music playing from all corners and demonstrations of magic everywhere. It truly was amazing to see all of these never before seen things.

The kids even came upon a carriage being pulled by a giraffe which was ecstatic for Zodie he had always liked giraffes he read a lot of them in picture books. What really amazed him was their spots they were so cool.

"Wowie wow a GIRAFFE I WANT ONE SOOOOOOOOOOOO BAAAAAAAAAAAAD" Zodies yelled with excitement.

Wendy then started to giggle at Zoide's behavior it was cute she thought.

"Zodie come on lets keep looking around" Wendy said pulling on his arm and they got back to exploring.


Minutes later

The kids after looking around got a little tired and then sat down together on a nearby bench resting.

"Wow this was fun and we still have money left, what should we spend the remainder of it on Lupita gave us a lot," Wendy said.

Zodie looked around the town for something to spend the remaining money that's when he spotted a stand with with an image of a cone shape and something colorful on top of it. The sign read ice cream Zodie remembered Lupita telling hi and Wendy about ice-cream it was cold and very sweet. Zodie was very curious and really wanted to try it for the first time.

"Say how about we try ice cream" He said pointing over to the stand making Wendy look to what he was pointing at.

"YUM ice cream I've always wanted to try some" Wendy said excitement in her eyes.

"Alright then let's go" Zodie said

As we made our way toward the ice cream stand without being aware the kids were being spotted by three guys in rugged clothes one had a bowl cut the other was bald and they're leader had a red mohawk. The leader then spoke up.

"Look at that boys easy prey" the mohawk haired man said

The bald man then spoke up yeah "yeah look those jewels let's go for it then". the three men then made they're way towards Zodie and Wendy quietly

Zodie and Wendy made their way to the ice cream stand with excitement in their eyes

"Oh man I wonder what sort of flavors there are I won't know which one to pick" Zodie said with excitement.

"Don't stress yourself just choose one flavor and then next time pick something new" Wendy said.

"Okay" Zodie replied

Before the kids could even get close to the stand they were then knocked to the ground. Zodie could feel the sack holding the jewels was gone. The kids looked up and saw three thugs running off with them.

"He he he like taking candy from a baby" the bald thug said

"Thanks for the cash twerps" The mohawk thug said

"Hey stop get back here you thieves" Zodie yelled as he got up he then dug into his pocket and gave Wendy the communication lacrima.

"Wendy call Keanu tell him what's going on" Zodie told her and then ran off.

"Zodie wait" Wendy yelled trying to stop him but was no use he was out of ear shot

Now with the three thugs they ran through the town trying to make it back to their hideout but were stopped by a certain obstacle in their path Zodie.

"Hey boss it's the brat from earlier" The bowl cut man said

"How did he get in front of us" the bald man said

"It doesn't matter take hm down" The mohawk boss said

The two thugs ran at Zoide at top speed but Zodie didn't dare back down

"You stole from us and you mad Wendy cry now your gonna pay"

Zodies then took a breath ready for an attack

"Dark Phoenix Screeeeeech" Zodie yelled hitting the goons and knocking them against a wall

"Wow man did not see that coming" the bowl cut man said

"Now give me back our money or else this is gonna uhh" Zodie said but was interrupted by a punch to the face by the boss.

"Not bad kid but you shouldn't've followed us and now your gonna pay" he said

The mohawk man lunged towards Zodie for another attack but Zodie was quicker and got out of the way in time. He rose to his feet and delivered a dark phoenix kick to the mans face knocking the mohawk man down.

"Take that you big jerk" Zodie said

The Mohawk man got back up to his feet but did not look happy his eye was black and his teeth were gritted like he had murder written all over his face.

"Thats it im done playing nice you damn brat" The mohawk thug said

He then shot out chain form his fingers and wrapped it around Zodies body, he swung the six year old around and slammed him against the ground a couple times. He held him there still entangled in his chain magic. The bowl cut man and the bald man got back up and joined their boss.

"You two get him while he's down now" The mohawk man told them

"Yes boss the goons said in unison"

The two men began to kick at Zodies body and he couldn't move he could feel their boots hitting him all over his body.

"Yeah thats what you get for messing with us you stupid brat"' the bowl cut man said

"Yeah mess with us and you get wrecked" The bald headed man said.

After about a couple of seconds they cesed they're attack and the mohawk raised him up in the air with his chain magic.

"Any last words" The mohawk man said

Suddenly a blur striked the mohawk man and his chain magic spell disappeared, Zodie then began to fall and was caught into the arms of a man holding a sword. He looked up and saw a familiar face it was Keanu

"Zodie are you alright"? Keanu asked as he put the child down

"Yeah im okay im just hurting a little bit" Zodie replied

Keanu then directed me to where Wendy was

"Go over there with Wendy alright i'll take care of this"

Zodie nodded then ran over to join Wendy on the side.

"Robbing children and then committing assault is messed up you punks should be ashamed of yourselves" Keanu scolded the men.

"You really think the three of us gove crap were bandits and we take whatever the hell we want and we don't care who we have to hurt"

"Well here's the thing when somebody hurts a friend of mine then I go out of my way to make sure they get what they deserve, no one gets off scotch free" Keanu told the three men.

"Alright enough talk boys get him" The Mohawk man yelled

Bowl cut and the bald man charged at Keanu but he was ready The bald thug tried to reach for him but Keanu jumped in the air evading him got behind the bald one and kicked him right in the groin.

"AWWWWWW" my tenders the Bald man said in pain then dropped to the ground with his hands on his groin.

The bowl cut man grabbed a pipe nearby and tried to swing it at Keanu but since he had a sword he easily sliced through it and delivered a kick to the mans face knocking him unconscious.

Zodie and Wendy and were watching with amazement

"Wow Keanu is so cool and strong" Wendy said

"Yeah I wish I could fight like that too" Zodie replied

After the two men were down Keanu turned toward the Mohawk man, both stood there staring daggers at each other waiting one which one will make the first move.

"Your pretty good but let's see how you fare against me"

"Chain lash" The mohawk man said as he fired a stream of chains toward Keanu he tried to slice through it but was caught by the chains. Zodie and Wendy were both filled with worry that Keanu was in trouble

"Oh no that guy has Keanu by his sword" Wendy said

"Is he gonna be okay"? Zodie asked

But to their surprise Keanu had the upper hand

"Lighting strike" Keanu said as he launched a stream of electricity in his body onto the sword to the chain and straight to the mohawk man.

"Ahhhhhhhhh" the mohawk man shouted with pain

Keanu then pulled on his sword reeled the mohawk man in his direction and delivered a powerful uppercut to his face send him flying a couple yards landing into a pile of mud.

"That that's how much I fare against you Keanu said smugly"

He then made his sword disappear and went on to check if Wendy and Zodie were alright

"Zodie i'm glad you're alright" that bully got you good" Keanu said

"I'll be fine Keanu thanks" Zodie replied

Keanu then grew a serious look on his face

"Zodi what were you thinking running off after those guys and fighting them if I Wendy hadn't told me and if I hadn't made it over here you probably would've been dead" Keanu said as he scolded Zodie.

The said boy then grew tears in his eyes "those jerks stole our money and hurt Wendy plus I know magic and I thought I could take them" Zodie replied.

"Zodie having magic doesn't mean you go and pick fights" Keanu said but in a softer tone

"I understand you wanted to do the right but it was just money we have plenty of it back at the guild no amount of that is worth your life".

Zodie then held his hand down in sadness but then he felt a hand brush his hair and he looked up to Kenanu smiling down at him.

"But on the plus size im so proud of you acting like a man helping your friend when she's sad and being brave" Keanu told the boy which caused Zodie to smile.

"Yeah thank you Zodie" Wendy said with a smile.

"Now then Wendy here said something about ice cream how about a sweet cold treat as a reward" for you kids Keanu said

"Yeah Yeah yeah" The kids said happily

Keanu then placed Zodie on his shoulders and took Wendy by the hand as they made their way over to the ice cream stand.


Back at Cait shelter

Lupita was sitting in the same room fast asleep with the egg in her hand watching over the thing tired her out so she believed that she deserved a little rest. Though this slumber was interrupted when Keanu and the children arrived. Lupita saw Keanu's black eye and was tending to it after that Keanu explained what happened causing Lupita to give the kids a bone crushing hug.

"Oh im so glad you two are okay" Lupita said

"Yeah thanks to Keanu I didn't know he was so strong it was awesome"

"My grandfather taught me everything I know about combat if you want little dude I can give you some lessons in the art of combat" Keanu offered.

"Yeah yeah that be great" Zodie said as he began to jump around excitedly causing the other three in the room to laugh.

"Umm how about sometime tomorrow for now you kids just rest up" Lupita said

"Sure"

Wendy then piped up

"Lupita how as the egg has anything happened"? She asked

"Actually yes while you two were gone the egg has been shaking a lot here let me show you" Lupita then grabbed the blanket that the kids bought and placed on the egg and it soon began to shake.

"See that it means it's close to hatching"

Zodie and Wendy were both excited to meet their friend soon

"Oh man I can't wait to meet you" Wendy said looking at the egg.

For the rest of the day the kids tended to the egg paying close attention to it making sure that it was nice and healthy, filled with joy about meeting what was inside.
