A Hero Tale: Jeff

Upon seeing the barn in that state Jeff slowed down a bit, I mean just how much damage has this nutcase of a villain done and why? Though I guess the time for questions would come later as they would need to keep looking for a safe place to escape to. Perhaps something near the barn could at least be a of use.
Before Jeff could start heading off, Dacer appeared running at god knows what speed to catch up.
"Oh thank gods that you're safe! Though I still don't get how or what you were doing..." Jeff said before Dacer's question of storys were mentioned.
"Wait stories...? Yeah I remember a little bit about them, though what does that have to do with you sudden super powers and Mr. Tall, Blonde and Stupidly Strong?"

A Hero Tale: Jeff

"But Elder, We need to get away from that maniac." Jeff said examining her condition as he continued onward. "And you're hurt, but don't worry I don't mind carrying you."
Honestly at this point it really was gonna take a lot more then a simple command to let her down to stop him. He might be a failure on many regards, but heck if he wasn't going to at least honor Dacer's request to get the villagers to safety.

A Hero Tale: Jeff

Jeff stood there frozen for a moment before opening his eyes to realize what had taken place. His eyes almost practically widened to the point of falling out or well at least it felt that way to Jeff.
"Dacer, since when could you do this?" Jeff asked him awed by this sudden magic like power. For all the time he knew his friend, he never once seen him do anything remotely like this. Giving himself a moment Dacer's response finally echoed into his mind. "But.. are you sure? This power of yours looks strong yes but.. but..." Jeff said frozen again in thought over everything that happened. Before he could say anything else his body started acting on there own and before he knew it he had picked up the elder and started rushing off to get the other villagers' attentions.
"DANNNGGIITTT!! YOU BETTER NOT DIE ON ME DACER, OR I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!!"

A Hero Tale: Jeff

"Sorry guys... looks like I've failed again..." Jeff said as he stood there. He knew there wasn't any point in trying to dodge this attack, it was way too fast so he did his best to brace for it with putting both arms in front of him.
'though I guess it would take more then a puny rock to hurt this guy... stupid...'

A Hero Tale: Jeff

'Well shoot seems like both Sila and Dacer are unable to react here.', Jeff thought to himself.
'what to do.. what to do?! doubt this thing will have any real effect if I take a direct shot, using it to strangle him is probably out too... ah man, AH MAN!' Many ideas on how he could handle this popped in his head but only one really stood out to have any real chance whatsoever, 'I know this under normal circumstances would not do much but perhaps if I use something else to maybe add a little force to the blow... still is better then nothing I suppose.'

Jeff then took a few steps back away from Dacer and Sila and firmly gripped his grapple gauntlet in his hand, only hesitating for just a single moment before aiming the gauntlet out at a small pointy rock he noticed lying on the ground.
"You want my best shot then? Well have at it!!"
Jeff then shot the hook at the rock and grabbed hold of it and in a similar way to how he did it with the apple earlier, Jeff swung the rock into the air and by using the momentum swung it down aiming for the top of the big guy's head.

A Hero Tale: Jeff

This was bad... VERY BAD! He knew that that gauntlet of his was not battle ready and to use it on such a foe was suicide, but part of him felt like things would be bad if refused his request either.
"Um.. well... isn't really designed for well.. fighting.." Jeff responded back to the man. It was clear at this point that Jeff's fear was starting to get the best of him. At least till the thought of the elder of Dacer crossed his mind. What if this guy turned his focus onto those two instead of him. Perhaps at least a screwup like him could at least buy them enough time to get away from this place.

"But you know what fine. If that's what you really want." Jeff said as he motioned for the elder and Dacer to get out of here. "Though I hope you don't mind leaving these people alone then. I don't care what happens to me."

A Hero Tale: Jeff

The earthquake took Jeff by surprise and from the look of things, it did so for everyone else. Lucky enough for him though, he managed to stay standing long enough to notice the tree coming down. Doing his best to handle the situation, he turned to Sila who was unable to remain balanced from the quake and proceeds to grab her and pull her and himself away from the tree's timbering path.

"Sila are you okay?!" Jeff as he then looked up to note the buff blonde man who had from his guess caused this quake. The idea brought Jeff into an panic. How could one man knock that tree down? Let alone cause an earthquake that shook the whole town and why the hell would he even do this?!

Going against all sense of reason in his head, Jeff yelled at the man with the questions. "Hey, why did you do that? You realize how many people in this village used that tree for food?!"

A Hero Tale: Jeff

"Oh..." He responded back feeling like an idiot for forgetting how the Elder would react to having this village tree messed with. "I was just trying to get the out of reach apple, just imagine how easy harvesting from trees could be with this device." Jeff said trying to do his best to reassure her his device was a good thing. "We would never have to worry about out of reach fruit again. Plus once I get better supplies to make this with, It could even potentially be used to climb tall objects or pull larger objects!"

A Hero Tale: Jeff

"Well it's not just abut the apple, its about having something that can grab stuff that normally can't be reached. And NOBODY has been able to reach that one for weeks. At least until NOW!" Jeff said as he took aim at the apple and hit the trigger on the gauntlet which then fired the gauntlet. It was now, everyone was watching. And to even his surprise it actually worked! The gauntlet shot out flying through the air and latched on to the apple with it still dangling from the tree.

"woah..." Jeff murmored quietly to himself for a moment before realization hit him and he began talking normally again. "errr.. yes.. Ahah!! I knew it would work! Now to tug back and get the apple and from the tree successfully!" Getting a little too cocky for his own good, Jeff tugs back on the grappling hook of his and removing the apple from the tree............ unfortunately... in his excitement, he forgot to properly retract the cord and thus causing him to release the apple and accidentally fling it towards one of the groups of unsuspecting villagers. "..whoops..."

A Hero Tale: Jeff

"Well geeze", Jeff said giving one of his usual sarcastic responses back to his friend, "Glad to see that usual faith of yours."
Jeff really wasn't too bothered by Dacer's comment truthfully cause he really did have faith that today this was the day he's manage to get this gauntlet of his operational. Sure it was just a prototype, but if this one worked how he expected, it too he'd be ready to take things to the next stage and see about perhaps making more stable version of the device.

Jeff then proceeded towards the door and held it opened for Dacer. "Anyways, feel free to follow me outside so I can prove you and everyone else in this town how wrong you are. I'm finally going to nab that apple from the top of that tree dangit!! No Climbing Necessary!"
