Laughter being a Warrior's Weapon too!
Lincoln is looking around the blacksmith shop seeing the weapons on the counters and by the windows as the others also look around as well, he also notices some other tools for other needs.
"(I may not know a lot about crafting like blacksmiths, but even I can tell these weapons and tools were carefully made with the finest details I have ever seen.)" Lincoln thought complimented.
"Oh sweet, check out the sharpness of this spear!" Ronnie Anne showed the new looking spear to the others.
"Wow, it must've been recently made with how it shines!" Carlota amazed of the spear.
"They all look the same to me, I can never understand some of you girls being so interested in something dangerous than worrying about how make yourself look pretty." Airi said uninterest in the weapons.
"That's because you're more of the serving girl type than a warrior." Ronnie Anne pointed out.
"Watch it, little missy or else I'll grab your heart." Airi warned with a grin.
"I like to see you try!" Ronnie Anne excited as she twirled her own spear getting ready for the fight.
"GIRLS!" Cattleya shouted from the back with her head peeking out.
"Do I have to remind you all NO fighting inside my shop?" Cattleya pointed at the sign that says "NO FIGHTING INSIDE" with a drawing of Cattleya's glasses at the top.
"We don't want to repeat what happen last time." Cattleya glared of a fierce mother look.
"No ma'am, no fighting!" Ronnie Anne and Airi promised together and looking scared at the same time.
"Thank you." Cattleya smiled before getting back to work.
"Oh man, she may have the sweet motherly love, but she can still pull of that fierce look that can make you feel like you have been stabbed in the heart." Ronnie Anne exclaimed.
"I take it she has been doing that to all the other Amazons when they do something in her shop that she doesn't like." Lincoln guessed.
"You guess it right, she's one of those women that can stop a fight with just her stare. I just felt shivers from just thinking about it." Carlota shivered of the thought.
"Don't let that make you think she isn't a fighter on the battlefield, you saw how big and strong those muscles of hers were." Branwen mentioned.
"Oh, she was big. With the muscles, I mean!" Lincoln stated with his cheeks blushing now.
"Sure, that's what you meant." Ronnie Anne chuckled, knowing how her boyfriend was just thinking about Cattleya's huge melons just now and understand that as most women on the island are jealous of her large shape.
"She goes by a nickname that has been remembered throughout the years around the time before she became a mother." Branwen looked out the window and staring at the sky.
"She was called… Cattleya the Giant Slayer." Branwen revealed, remembering the time when Cattleya fought against giants.
"The Giant Slayer? As in she fought real giants?" Lincoln asked exciting.
"That's right, Cattleya's brute strength really helped out get out of a jam when giants came invading our homeland about sixty years ago." Airi remembered that time.
(Flashback)
Several Amazon warriors were thrown like little ragdolls with their bones shattered into pieces and blood gushing out from their bodies, the others are standing their ground glaring at the giants marching down on the land.
"You bitches better hope some of your bones will still be intact for us to use a toothpicks." One giant mocked with a grin.
"Fuck you, damn ugly mountain men!" Echidna shouted in rage.
"Face the wrath of the Amazon!" Branwen charged at one giant hoping to force one down on the ground.
The giant swings his massive wooden club down to crush the tanned warrior as she jumps over the club to dodge it, she pierces her sword down on the arm and dragging it along to create a big cut that made the giant scream in pain and Branwen stabbed the right leg.
Branwen was about to do the same making a big cut attack, but the giant easily smacks her off from his leg and crashes onto a tree knocking it down.
"No, Branwen!" Alleyne gasped as avoiding a strong stomp from another giant.
"We're losing ground here! We need to fallback and regroup with the other warriors." Maria suggested while looking a bit scared at the same time.
One giant tried to reach out for the nurse woman, but the hand was brush away when Queen Rita comes in with a cross slash on the palm with blood coming out. This causes the giant to scream in pain and forcing his hand to pull back.
"If we retreat now, the giants will follow us back to the city and will cause destruction to countless of our people meaning we'll be wiped out." Rita pointed out.
"We still have to do something against those fucking giants, they cannot be allow to harm anymore lives like they have done to other lands." Airi said floating next to the queen.
The giants kept coming closer to the group of Amazon warriors with sinister smiles getting ready to kill more of these little bitches, and maybe have a little fun with the sexy ones before killing them too.
"You will not pass!" Rita shouted in rage spinning her daggers before getting into her fighting stance.
"The giants were too strong for most of us, we thought this day was gonna be our last until a new hope came to us." Branwen said.
The giants got closer and closer ready to kill some more Amazons with one of them swinging his club toward the group, but the club never came because it was cut in half and one leg was chopped off too.
"What the…?" The giant shocked in confusion until as figure jumps higher than himself and his head was cut open.
"Sorry that I'm late, everyone." Cattleya apologized as she lands on the ground.
"Cattleya!" Rita smiled, glad to see the blacksmith woman is here.
"It took longer than I thought, but I finally finish my sword!" Cattleya showed her Giant Slayer sword.
"Now I can fight all out against these giants!" Cattleya smirked with her glasses shiny at the giants.
"Kill that little motherfucker!" One giant shouted in rage.
"Everyone, support Cattleya!" Rita ordered as they charge at the giants right behind Cattleya.
"If Cattleya hadn't shown up like that, we would've been in much worse shape or even dead, and thank the Gods for making Cattleya born with immense strength that she had hone over the years." Branwen smiled.
The scene changes to the sun setting creating the sky to become crimson with Cattleya raising her sword in the air and standing on top of the corpses of every single evil giants that came to their island.
All the Amazons cheered for Cattleya for having to slain the giants by herself that was a major struggle for the others, even for Queen Rita as she was only able to take down one or two of them.
(Flashback End)
"And so, Cattleya was given the title as the Giant Slayer and the island praises her strength." Branwen finished the story to the White Warrior.
"Wow, that was epic!" Lincoln amazed.
"So, what did you guys end up doing with the giants' bodies?" Lincoln asked.
"We ended up using most of their bones to reforge them into strong weapons like the ones right here." Airi answered gesturing at the weapons.
"Hold on… you mean these are made from giant bones?!" Lincoln gasped.
"Not all of them, weirdo. She only uses them when it's a special order or something from the higher ups like the Queen." Ronnie Anne chuckled.
"Oh, okay then." Lincoln said.
"Though you should also know that Cattleya also has a big heart when she also performed a funeral for the giants by packing their heads on a boat and sending it off to the ocean then set it ablaze." Carlota mentioned.
"Why would she do that?" Lincoln puzzled. The giants were the ones who attacked the island, Cattleya decided to respect her fallen enemies.
"Because she's just nice like that, even when she knows she has to take down and enemy." Carlota answered as the others nodded.
Lincoln is a little surprised to hear that one of the strongest and motherly warrior on the island would even help her fallen enemies rest in peace, guess there's a silver lining to everything in battle.
But his thoughts on Cattleya were push away when he notices a very odd object on the counter.
Lincoln picks up the odd object getting a closer inspection to see that it's a banana and it doesn't seem like one with a hidden weapon inside too.
"Why is there a banana here in a weapon shop?" Lincoln asked as he looks closer.
"Probably left by someone who doesn't bother herself in eating it at all." Airi shrugged.
"Well, might have some while it's still fresh." Lincoln decided as he does not want to let this fresh banana go to waste.
But Ronnie Anne and Carlota couldn't find ease with being around that banana like there is something about it that spell deceives and misdirection, but they couldn't figure out why.
That is until they saw a little purple symbol at the end of the banana, one they are very familiar of.
"Lincoln, wait!" Ronnie Anne and Carlota tried to warn the guy.
But it was too late Lincoln peeled the top of the banana off and what came out wasn't a banana as that would normally be, Lincoln suddenly got hit in the face by something wet and a little slimy with his face now change into that of a clown with black paint running down from the eyes making him a sad clown.
"What the what?" Lincoln shocked.
"Yeah, we tried to tell you…" Ronnie Anne exclaimed.
"Hey Cattleya, I'm here to pick up my clown face banana!" Luan called out entering the shop, but then saw Lincoln's face being a clown face.
"Uh-oh, looks like someone a-peel to a makeover session." Luan joked laughing which made Lincoln laugh too.
"That banana was supposed to be for you?" Lincoln asked as he tries to wipe the paint off.
"Yeah, just a little prank I've been thinking of doing. Well, not anymore face you already paint for it." Luan joked again as she pulls out a cloth and a spray bottle.
"Sorry about that." Lincoln apologized.
"It's okay, it's not like I was going to use that for battling anyway even though I have been known as the pranking warrior of the island." Luan bragged a little and help clean his face.
"You heard that right, despite being a strong warrior like us, Luan here has her own style that brings both laughter to others while bringing pain to those in the fight." Carlota explained.
"Aw, come on now, you're making me blush." Luan giggled with her cheeks blushing.
"Man, this reminds me of some fictional characters that fights so weird that they make me laugh every time I play them in my video games." Lincoln commented smiling.
"Guess that explains why you always have that "Game" face whenever I see you." Luan joked and comment on the strong spirit.
"But just to be sure, these "video games" are something you play at home and stuff, right?" Luan asked and Lincoln nods a yes.
"Okay, good. Just wanted to be sure." Luan sighed in relief.
"So, what prank were you going to use that banana for?" Lincoln asked.
"Nothing much, just to give it to Lynn placing inside her fruit basket because she always want the proteins and vitamins while she does one of her workout routines." Luan explained about her prank.
"Oh man, Lynn with a clown face definitely would have been a laugh." Lincoln laughed a bit.
"You can say that again, too bad that was the only banana I had, and Cattleya helped make it." Luan said.
"Maybe you can still do the banana prank except have the inside be a wooden carving of a banana pointed in white." Lincoln offered a suggestion for the prank.
"Huh, that's not a bad idea." Luan interested in the idea.
"In fact, why don't we go do it right now!" Luan grabbed Lincoln's arm and drag him out of the store.
"But wait, I'm supposed to wait for my weapon to be reforged!" Lincoln yelled.
"Don't worry, we'll stay here and wait for you!" Ronnie Anne called out before letting out a laugh.
"Oh man, Lincoln has no idea what he just gotten himself into." Ronnie Anne chuckled.
"I don't know if it was a good idea to leave him alone with Luan. You know how she can be at times, especially with her love of pranks and what she'll do with her pranks." Carlota worried.
"Quit your worrying, Luan knows how to control herself… Mostly." Ronnie Anne stated though hesitate.
"We can only hope that Lincoln will be okay by the time we see him again." Branwen hoped.
(With Lynn)
"296… 297… 298… 299…" Lynn is doing pull-ups on a tall tree with her workout equipment and fruit basket sitting right next to the tree.
Two bushes are strangely tiptoeing their way close to the workout tree as Lynn likes to call it while being careful of not to get spotted by the muscle workout girl, two heads pop out revealing them to be Lincoln and Luan.
"Okay, Lynn is almost done with her pull-ups and will be coming down for a snack break." Luan whispered to Lincoln.
"I'm going around the tree to place the fake banana in while you distract her." Luan explained the plan again to Lincoln.
"Got it, I know how to talk with muscle people back home. She'll be no different." Lincoln smirked.
"Just be careful with what you say to her, she's still a woman if you know what I mean." Luan advised.
"Relax, I was raised to always respect women in their own rights and seeing Lynn loving sports and workout makes her pretty special to me like you with your funny." Lincoln stated with a smile.
Luan was a little surprised of hearing the White Warrior say such nice things about her and her younger jock sister, her cheeks feel like their blushing and her heart skipped a beat.
"Th-Thanks, anyway, just get ready, she's coming down." Luan said before moving away.
"Oh yeah, another 310 pull-ups from the highest tree!" Lynn jumped down and pump her fists in the air.
"Pretty impressive as always, Lynn." Lincoln made himself known to the jock Amazon princess.
"Hey there, Lincoln. Came here to do some hard workouts with me, bet Alleyne has been really pushing you to break your bones." Lynn smirked.
"Huh, yeah, something like that… But I'm here just to see if you're doing okay. I know that overusing your muscles can cause some pain." Lincoln said acting concern while Luan sneaks to the fruit basket.
"Please, as if I don't know about that. Had to learn the hard way years ago when I pushed myself too far." Lynn mentioned.
Luan succeed in putting the fake banana on the basket and single Lincoln a thumb up that she's done.
"I also heard like you like taking dares, like biting fast on a banana." Lincoln taunted.
"Please, baby games more like it. But if you really want to see it." Lynn smirked as she took a banana, unknown to her it's the fake banana.
Lincoln holds in his giggles as Lynn peel the banana and bites on the top, but she quickly spites it out realizing it didn't taste right.
"What?" Lynn gasped as Lincoln started to laugh and Luan too exposing herself.
"Oh shit… You got me?" Lynn shocked while spitting out some wood in her mouth.
"Oh man, that was great, and I can't believe her teeth were strong enough to bite on the wood." Lincoln amazed.
"Yeah, now we run for our lives from Lynn's rage that she wants to kill us." Luan informed with a smile.
"What, wait?" Lincoln puzzled.
"I'm going to KILL YOU!" Lynn shouted in rage before for fart in the face by a whoopie cushion from Luan.
Both Lincoln and Luan started running for their lives through the woods together as Lynn chases right behind them, Luan keeps on laughing while Lincoln is looking scared of not wanting to be at the end of Lynn's wrath though couldn't help but think she looks cute when she's angry.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
