After the previous day, when Roberto showed the last cards, the fear in the hearts of the few finally disappeared, disappeared forever, because everyone knew that what was said two days earlier on the edge of the newly built and now destroyed port was a great game of a crazy man and himself, Roberto Halski he never wanted to hurt anyone, though he had it in his plans from the very beginning when he came to this world, he never, ever had the strength or the opposite to do all these terrible things, because what does it take to be a real cruel man, strength or its absence, it's hard to say, anyway, Roberto revealed his cards and disappeared the previous day, it seemed forever, it seemed that his past decision would also affect the struggle between him and the created system, but no one knew that the previous day, the evening of the creator himself system was broken, and the world was about to be shaken by an unspeakable threat.
Now, today was a completely different day, the sky was clear, the sun was shining, giving the farmers another successful day and the fear in their hearts, the unnecessary fear of Roberto, bit by bit, broke the hearts of the few who knew the truth, including the now marching black and white Kitty as the wind swept her green cape and today she was secretly and alone marching through a field of grain and a great plain where cows were supposed to graze, it was here that Kitty was following someone with a specific purpose, one of the initiates, who, as it turned out, was a silver wolf with a black cape and red eyes sitting on a roach , a wolf fighting against the blow of sudden memories.
Death has forgotten about his past for many years of his work, you can say that while he was working, taking souls, he changed a lot, his character was partially changed, sometimes he took souls when he wanted to, sometimes when he had to, he had his scores to settle with Puss of his time, now his gloom and eyes focused only on the ground and his thoughts on memories of the old days and what he wanted to do not so long ago, because these few days showed him everything, and above all what connects Puss in Boots with Kitty, he became even more gloomy when He heard her voice behind him.
- a lot has changed since the last day, right, tell me something happened, are you different, so gloomy, angry, angry at yourself?, what happened to me, you can tell me, I won't tell anyone. Kitty said, raising her paws high, then jumping on the fence and sitting down next to the silver wolf.
- forgive me, me. said Death avoiding those big blue eyes.
- but what, because I don't understand, Death you have a job like Flying Dutchman, hard duty but duty. Kitty she said.
- I know, I mostly take souls because I have to, when the time comes, but there was one day when I wanted to take the souls of an arrogant cat not knowing that I would hurt you, you both!. Death shouted, releasing all his anger on himself, and Kitty, hearing him, looked at the ground, smiled, jumped down from the fence and stood in front of the wolf looking straight at him, to which Deathrh could not react otherwise than to widen his own red eyes in surprise because he saw a brave face in front of him the soul that pitied him in the present moment.
- that's what you wanted, but ultimately he and you, your joint fight and action that my Puss is a completely different cat today, and I thank you for that. Kitty she said making Death fall off the fence.
- are you OK. Kitty asked as she ran over the fence and landed on the startled wolf looking him straight in the eye.
- en, this, no, nothing, after all, such a fall will not hurt me. Death said looking at the cat that was now twirling its white mustache on his chest.
- Death, tell me what she was like, I mean, you don't have to answer sorry. She said Kitty as she suddenly turned around, but the silver wolf showed no hostility to her, on the contrary, his red eyes trembled and he himself stood up, holding it high to the height of his head, holding it in his paws and remembering the last moments of the past.
- she was wonderful, wonderful, Keira, she carried me in her arms, I always felt safe with her and a bit like a child, she was the greatest hyena I've ever met in my life, Keira understood me without words, she always knew what I wanted to do and what I was thinking, she always did everything let's be happy together. Death said, remembering the happy moments in his beloved's arms, his face was shining with happiness, and Kitty, held in his paws, always wanted to hear the end of this story because she knew too well how it ended.
- Death, that's enough, I understand now, you loved her with all your might, I understand why you didn't like Love then. She said Kitty, wanting and actually changing the course of the conversation in a clever way.
- you're right, I didn't like Love so much, on the other hand, I never did anything to her because I couldn't, although I wanted to destroy her in the first years, but I wasn't able to hurt her because she's also immortal and my weapon doesn't is capable of destroying her heart, now I feel sorry for her because I know how she feels, come on Roberto didn't leave, even so, they shouldn't be separated today, they shouldn't. He said Death and Kitty looked right into the green grass in the fertile land knowing full well what Death was fighting for as he raced through the mirage desert.
- today I know perfectly well why you fought so hard to get the chip, Man in Blue Suit, he gave you hope, faith, I'm sorry that it was my Puss who had to win the race. She said Kitty, escaping the gaze of the red wolf eyes today until her right thumb pointed her head and her blue eyes at him.
- he did it because he had to, and don't torment yourself with it because I'm not blameless either, as you know, as you remember. Death said with obvious shame in his eyes..
- I hope that someday you will forgive me that I wanted to take your beloved. He said Death and Kitty nodded her head slightly closing her eyes for a moment thinking intensely.
- I already decorated it, as I said, both of you motivated yourself, you can say that it was you who made Puss change and today thanks to you Puss is a different cat, thank you. Kitty said and the surprised Death opened his eyes wide looking at the sincerity in Kitty's blue eyes and her sincere smile and after all Death hugged Kitty to him thanking for all these words and for a moment there was peace until both of them suddenly jumped when a jealous scream spread in the air.
- Kitty!, Death!, what's that supposed to mean!. Shouted an orange striped cat in a black cape, hat, boots with an outstretched sword shimmering in the morning sun, and Death, seeing the jealous cat, jumped up, laid Kitty gently on the ground and began to carefully back away himself.
- I this, I mean, I. Said Death once again struck by fear because today he saw before him a cat ready for anything and his green eyes showed him a true desire to fight for his beloved.
- Puss, wait, it's not like that. Kitty said slightly annoyed but Puss in Boots didn't listen to her, he only glanced at her and moved towards the retreating wolf to the very fence.
- what is it, you are hitting on my future wife, I dare you!. Puss screamed as he suddenly choked on a fluff and started coughing uncontrollably.
- Push!. Kitty screamed, helping the orange Cat to spit out the fluff, beginning and ending with a blow to the back, and the fluff fell out of the cat's mouth, which began to flinch back nervously.
- Puss, you must be very careful of yourself, you know that you only have one life left, I don't want to come for you, but if something goes wrong, I will be forced to, so don't do it to me, and this here is just a gesture of gratitude, I don't have the heart to take you away Kitty and now that, Em Puss or something happened. Said Death as Puss in Boots started to show something in the sky.
- there, there, there, look there!. shouted Puss in Boots, pointing to something in the sky, something that had been thrown the previous day flying on a huge expanding balloon, and that was what caught everyone's eyes.
- what is here, Kitty asked, looking at something yellow, something poisonous that was getting closer with every meter, it was moving slowly, swept by strong high winds, it was constantly moving towards the main goal and Death's standing side immediately stretched out its sickles that shone here, which meant that the time of the end was coming.
- it's something very bad, that's what I can call it, it brings doom and dying. Death said, lifting his head high.
- but where is it going. Kitty asked.
- probably to the city, you need to alert everyone quickly, maybe what Greed, quickly!. Shouted Puss in Boots and then ran quickly to the city waving his paws in boots with all his might and to be faster he helped himself as far as his front paws allow, rushing through the ground and passing on his way a light brown dog in a Perrito sock, and marching in a silver blue Kevin's helmet cuirass on his head, he, seeing Puss in Boots running, looked after him with his brown eyes pricking up his ears and the words of the running cat made Kevin and Perrito run after him.
Running to the main square, the screaming orange cat was gathering an increasingly dense crowd, among which a red-and-pink fox lady in a blue kimono with white flowers embroidered marched.
- Maybe it's Robert. Love whispered to herself and ran with everyone to the blue palace where everyone was led by an orange cat.
Finally, when Puss in Boots stopped in front of the palace and the royal couple had just come out, the black- mustached King Wingard in red and yellow and a cape lying on green, and his wife, red-haired Selena dressed as always in a green dress, ayy blue eyes, seeing the panting cat, focused on it, and on the thickening crowd where Love, Kitty, Kevin, Perrito and Death also appeared and on the other side emerged a brown-yellow Komodo dragon wearing a blue jacket holding his black trident with both hands shining in a strange way as it was sickles Death.
- what happened, Puss, what's going on, tell us if something's wrong, he Roberto!. Wingard shouted, and though he knew the truth, he played his part perfectly.
- it's probably not him, my trident is shining, someone's life ends today. Said the Flying Dutchman looking at the trident with his blue eyes.
- I see it too, some life ends today and now. Said Death, raising his sickles.
- but what does it mean. Selena asked as her eyes suddenly went up into the sky where a yellow balloon appeared in the sky.
- oh no, it's a yellow spot with black appendages, it's a plague!. Selena screamed and everyone in the crowd started screaming for fear of getting infected.
But before that happened, before the balloon burst, infecting everyone, it was hit by a powerful laser and shards of iron ore shining with destructive power, all of it hit the yellow balloon, burning it on the valve, and everyone trembled again in fear of now the greatest object of their fear, except for the few who knew the truth, suddenly from the sky from a black cloud a man will fall, black-haired Roberto Halski in a camouflaged paratrooper's uniform holding in his hands what turned out to be a deadly black hog in a white suit with abscesses around the neck, and his image shocked everyone.
- Greed!. Angry Wingard shouted seeing the hog in the hands of a man.
- but how, he's sick. Perrito asked in surprise.
- this cursed plague is capable of infecting even immortals, except for him. Said the Flying Dutchman without taking his eyes off the black hog held high by his white suit.
- but wait, his whips are broken, he's mortal. He said to Death as his sickles gleamed and pointed to Greed, as it turned out, devoid of his powers and his whips.
- so it's done, it's over. Said Roberto releasing the defeated hog to the ground and he himself began to moan.
- Roberto. She said Love ready to run but Puss in Boots and Kitty stopped her by grabbing her kimono and her tail.
- wait, can't you see, Greed is sick, don't approach him. Kitty said.
- you can get infected from him, let Roberto take care of him himself. He said Pussi in Boots and Love took a deep breath and looked at her lover, eagerly awaiting the end of everything.
So does that mean it's over, the lies are over? Kevin asked, looking with everyone at the man and the black hog lying in front of him with yellow abscesses around its neck.
- it looks like it, but how, how did it happen, how could his whips break on their own, it's impossible. Said Death, unable to understand what he was seeing, a defeated Greed, deprived of his immortality.
- maybe it's a sign of a broken system. Said the Flying Dutchman standing close to them.
- I don't think it's something else, I don't know why, but I have shivers down my spine, it's strange but, I wish it wasn't something worse. Perrito said with wide eyes before Love covered his mouth and cuddled nicely close to the diamond heart around her neck.
There was a momentary silence, now punctuated only by the black hog's groans of pain, and Roberto, being truly ruthless this time, clenched his fists and drew his blades from the Adamant, showing Greed his latest doom.
- come on, tell me fat pig what happened, did my lie defeat you, yes lie. Said Roberto showing his blades to the suddenly startled hog.
- rrrrr, what are you talking about, what a lie. Greed asked.
- Yes, Martin lives, and my hits on two ports were only feigned blows you would believe and everyone else around. Said Roberto, raising his voice, and there was consternation among everyone, a momentary silence suddenly broken after opening the door of the blue palace from which a princess with long red hair in a blue dress and accompanying her golden-haired farmer in a black and yellow uniform appeared, and his appearance made everyone who did not know the truth screamed, others breathed deeply, many of those present until they hit themselves in the face, after all, everyone looked at the man standing over the hog no longer with fear and hatred, but with a desire to know the truth, just like Greed, defeated by a lie.
- yes it is greedy rag, I defeated you as I said myself, evil with evil, fire with fire, fear with fear, and a lie with a lie, and how do you feel seeing your defeat. Roberto asked, and Greed, writhing in pain, suddenly screamed out loud.
- you fool, you tricked me just like he did!. Greed screamed as his body shuddered with pain and thorns.
- Who are you talking about. Roberto asked, putting his blade to the black hog's throat.
- he is your undoing, he is the father of all corruption, he is a plague, he is a virus, he is called Worm and he is not from this world, unknown star visitors were supposed to burn him in the star but their stupidity and arrogance led them here in search of a golden chip!, now he will destroy the whole world because i freed him like this fool!. Greed shouted and everyone around them shivered, took a step back and looked at Roberto who closed his eyes thinking about something.
- is the undoing of all living things, all of you!. Greed screamed and Roberto grabbed him by the throat and looked into his golden eyes.
- at first I wanted to forgive you, give you my healing blood but now you have no mercy here from my hand, Death he is yours. Roberto said throwing Greed at the stupas of the shocked silver wolf.
- but wait, that means our world could die. Kevin asked terrified, and Martin and Puss in Boots, listening to him, began to shake their heads together, disagreeing with what was hanging over the heads of the whole world.
- no!, that's impossible. Martin said, and Jessica, who was listening to everything, snuggled up to him for reassurance.
- I don't believe it, was it all to provoke the Worm, I don't believe it. Puss said as Kitty landed in his hands.
- yes, everything is possible here today, as I said, this is the day when the fate of the world was in the hands of two, ultimately two, because Greed doesn't mean anything today, his time has come to an end. Said the Man in the Blue Suit as he stepped out of the jumping crowd of people in shock and stopped in front of the black hog looking at the silver wolf.
- he is yours, his time ends today, he is yours my friend. said the Man in the Suit, turning his gray eyes on Roberto.
- everything now depends on you, you and him, you will decide the fate of the whole world, it's a random choice, and it happened today, now it's time to end it, and whoever wins, his victory will be accepted by me.
- what do you mean, are you playing with us all, why, I ask why, is our world just a game. Selena asked terrified, extending her right hand and angrily showing the Man in a Suit, to which he, as always, did not show much emotion as if it was completely unnecessary for him.
- you will never understand the level of my consciousness and what I am guided by is like understanding the whole cosmos, but you are not given it, one thing is certain, I give this world a choice, a random choice, and you my friend, chosen by a chip. Said the Man in the Suit addressing his last words to Roberto until Love stopped it all, suddenly the Fox Lady jumped out in front of Roberto, covering him because she knew what it was all leading up to, something she never wanted to see or hear.
- enough, please, enough, I don't know who you are or what you are guided by, but does it really all have to end like this, I don't want to look at the fight, the tragedy, me. Love said and the Man in the Suit raised his right eyebrow, hiding his hands behind his back.
- he will die, you will die, the whole world will die at the hands of the rotten, at the hands of the Worm, and on its ashes maybe a new cycle of return will arise, or everything will be broken by your hand my friend, anyway, it's inevitable, and know one thing. Said the Man in the Suit coming closer but again Love cut him off screaming at the top of her voice.
- enough, do you really have to, what will you gain by it, why are you doing it, why!. Love screamed before being pulled aside by Roberto and another scream behind them echoed in the great square in front of the blue palace.
- does it have to end like this, not blame what you get from it but whether there really is no other way out, after all, you can. Kitty said.
- you can change everything, you are the power, you can erase the existence of this monster from the face of this world. Jessica spoke equally loudly and the whole crowd of viewers and hearing the final truth no longer showed any anger, fear or hatred directed not so long ago to Roberto.
- I don't have vanity, I don't have greed or anything of your dogma, that's why I am That Beyond All, now listen to me my friend, when you understand, you will see, you will feel, you will know, sometimes it can't be fixed and healed diseased tree, since its roots are already poisoned and twisted, then there is only one way out, burn everything, hurry up, this monster is crossing the Folin River right now. but don't be afraid he leaves his spores on you, time to challenge him. Said the Man in the Suit and with the last words he ascended into the sky to watch the upcoming duel for reasons or reasons incomprehensible for the most part, no one was able to understand the strange motivation and mind of The One Beyond It All, there was only one thing to do, fight the coming destruction.
When the Man in the Blue Suit rose high and there was a momentary silence in the square interrupted by the moan of a black hog, Roberto Halski looked west and without a word soared into the sky.
- Roberto, wait!. Love screamed and when she saw Roberto landing on the brown brick walls, she quickly moved to the very walls and the Flying Dutchman standing in the square nodded his lizard head to Death, who, holding his sickles, looked in a chilling way at the black hog lying in front of him.
- I didn't think that this day would ever come, but today it happened what should, isn't it beautiful, most greedy, vain self-righteous worm. He said Death and Greed trembled because he knew his end had come.
- no no no!. Greed shouted before the last glow of the two sickles flickered before his eyes.
- but wait, what are we going to do now, can we somehow help our friend, can we. Kitty asked, turning her head from the final view.
- I guess not, we can only wait, why can't I make this one wish, that I wish that this beast would be forever erased from this world. He said Puss in Boots looking up at the sky and then a voice boomed from the sky shaking everyone.
- your wish as well as the fate of this world is on a thin thread, because the victory of the Worm will invalidate our bet once and for all, even though everything will end, it will end with your existence. Said the Man in the Suit, revealing the last fine print of the verbal agreement because it was never specified at first.
- you sneaky madman, what are you, why are you doing this to us, no!, we have to do something and t quickly!. Shouted Puss in Boots.
- but what, you heard that master of contracts, only Roberto is able to stop the destruction. Perrito said.
- but he also said what can help us, read his words carefully. He said Puss in Boots looking at everyone.
- that is, what can we do, how to help him. Wingard asked.
- fire, we can burn it with fire, HE said! that the greatest corruption can only be burned to the root, this is our chance, besides you heard Greed, he said that the maggots wanted to drop to the star to burn him, this is our only chance. He said Piss in Boots and everyone looked at the king who immediately thought of a plan, scratching his beard.
- I know what we'll do. Wingard said.
Meanwhile, on the brown walls, the Maoist Roberto watched the horizon, the western part where the fields ended and coniferous forests began, there he saw something terrible, the sight of the approaching monster called the Worm, already from such a great distance Roberto saw the beasts which meant that the monster itself was huge and his power surpasses anything he knows, making him equal to, maybe even stronger than Roberto, but today, now Roberto showed no fear and the smile because he knew what he had to do, he knew this was the moment he was sent here for, they didn't care reasons and causes, but the effect.
- so be it, it's time to fight for the world, I've defeated the system, I've defeated Greed and his false illusions of the world, now it's time to do anything, even to sacrifice myself. Roberto Halski said and a crazy smile crossed his face.
Roberto has always planned to fight the system, but he lacked the power, anything that allowed him to win but today he had everything in his hands, power, opportunity and opportunity, he defeated the system and the lust for power and money was already broken with the defeated Greed and now Roberto he had more than he could count on himself to correct mistakes that were never mistakes, to show the truth and do everything to make the world see his sacrifice, make them stop fearing him, come on, it's already happened there in the square, but yet Roberto already felt great satisfaction, because he didn't care if he got out of this alive, all that mattered to him was to do everything to stop the destruction of the world, but what Roberto had planned did not please a certain soul and a shining heart, and she was it's Love.
The fox lady stood next to Roberto and grabbed his left hand to look him in the eye, to see perhaps the last time his blue-green eyes, and after all Love took off her amulet from her neck wanting to give it to her beloved man.
- What are you?, you're crazy, Love. Said Roberto not wanting to take the diamond heart.
- remember, my heart belongs only to me and I decide who I give it to, my heart belongs to you, if you die, let it reach me too, even if the world would be saved. Love said, sounding deadly serious.
- Love you can't, without you this world. Roberto said before Love covered his mouth with her delicate finger.
- this world will manage without me anyway, that's how it was, but if you lose I don't want to see you leave, I also don't want to live forever if you die despite your victory, please take my heart with you, and this. said Love as he kissed Roberto and that one moment seemed to slow down until Roberto clutched Love's diamond heart in his hand.
- I love you Love, no matter what the future brings, forgive me for what I'm going to do now. Said Roberto again kissing Love and when their lips moved apart Roberto spun the fox lady and handed her heart to her hand and took off into the sky rushing to meet his enemy.
- Roberto!. Love screamed as she stopped in place.
- I promise you that I will do everything to come back, but if I don't come back, promise me that you won't leave this world. Roberto said as he walked away.
- I promise!. Love screamed, grabbing onto the battlements of the wall and lowering her head to the view of the gate.
I promise, and please do whatever it takes to get back to me. Love whispered as her eyes closed for a moment and when she opened them she saw an orange cat running out leading Martin, Kevin, Death and Flying Dutchman with some soldiers holding some strange barrels in their hands. It was also the moment when Kitty appeared on the walls accompanied by Perrito, and the royal family, Wingard, Selena and Jessica, they all stopped next to Love and stared at the image of impending doom, the only chance that is a man rushing to conflict and the only chance to outsmart enemy.
- if it works, it must work. Wingard said, frowning under his thick black hair.
- it has to work, it has to. Selena said her surgery next to her husband and her blue eyes trembled.
- but why do we have to stay in the city. Jessica asked, shaking her head and her long red hair.
- how did Puss talk to me today, I should be there with him. Kitty said, putting his black and white paws in front of him.
- why did I have to stay, I understand Jessica and Kitty are girls, and Kitty is in a different state, but why me. Perrito asked, pouting no more than worrying about the upcoming fight and what was planned.
- it doesn't change one thing, everything was in the hands of so few, Roberto, please, you promised me something. Love said almost in a whisper, looking only at the horizon and the first blow was struck because the four trees growing on the back of the Worm started emitting poisonous spores thrown into the sky behind the rushing man, so the battle began.
L
Let the war begin, let the rot run the world, breaking everything, even the rules of life and death, all will be shaken as the fires ignite.
