A Hero Tale: Jeff

Jeff waited for his inevitable demise, but a loud crack of flesh against wood was all he heard. Dacer stood between him and Rajaka, holding a giant green bow up, which he had used to block the intruder's fist. The masked man's eyes widened. Dacer pulled back on an imaginary drawstring, and a column of white light appeared between him and the massive man, like an arrow of light conjured from thin air. "Pick on someone your own size, Blondie," Dacer growled, releasing the arrow right into his target's chest. It struck and pushed him back several yards, causing his giant booted feet to drag across the ground. There was a small marking on the man's bare chest now, but he didn't seem too phased. More surprised than anything. "Jeff, get the fuck out of here, and bring as many people as you can with you," Dacer asked sternly. It was rare to see him to serious, but the situation called for it. "Don't you fucking dare go back to your hut and pick up all your schematics, just go."

Jenso's fist crashed against the worm's rough exterior, but didn't seem to do anything. His strength simply wasn't significant enough to harm it... The worm dug underground again, and appeared behind him, attempting to swallow him up for the second time.

It seemed that unless Jenso could harness his abilities, he would not be able to harm this worm. Either that, or he would have to find another way to win this battle, or retreat.

The tall man stood still and allowed the rock to smash against his skull. He reeled back and clutched his face, "OW, YOU GOT ME!" He shouted, stepping back. It looked like he was injured for a split second... But... "Just kiddin, twerp."

With that, he dashed towards Jeff, grabbed his grappling gauntlet, and tore it in half, before aiming to punch his lights out with one of his massive fists.

Dacer's eyes widened at Jeff's surprising courage. Sila was still silent from the fall, supposedly knocked out. The intruder didn't seem to care either way, but he gave a hearty 'HAH' when Jeff spoke those words. 'You've got guts kid! Tell ya what, I'll give you one free shot! Right here, in the face. You can do whatever you want!" The massive man insisted. Dacer was frozen in place still, his hands shakily reaching past Jeff, too slowly to do anything..

Dacer dashed out of the tree's path as well, and stopped by Jeff's side. He looked at the man curiously, thoroughly surprised by his appearance. "Jeff," He started, walking to his friend's side. But before Dacer could say anything, the intruder began walking towards them both with a yellow, glowing smile.

"Ohoho! You got a problem, bub?" He said loudly. His voice was overbearing, but not deafening. It was like he exerted a presence over Jeff, something that couldn't be seen with the naked eye. "Like I give a crap about this one-horse town!.. Village.. Whatever- What are you gonna do about it? Huh!?" He urged Jeff to do something, spreading his arms and taunting him. He then spotted his grappling gauntlet and snorted. "Hit me with your little rope glove?"

Dacer held Jeff's shoulder, and was about to say something, but he was also somewhat frozen in place.

Chapter 11

_{A Heretic's Wasteland}

The entrance to the mine was in his sights after only half an hour of running. Jenso felt fine! His stamina was truly something to behold, and it felt like it kept improving as time went on. Was that his Ki getting more powerful? Who knew. The important thing right now was finding Bobba and exposing him for the dirty criminal he was.

The entrance was a hole placed dead center in the middle of a large rock that lead downwards, held in place by support beams and lined with a rocky path. It looked like there was nobody on the outside, and no trees for at least a mile. It was like a rocky desert out here. But before Jenso could reach it, something burst out of the ground and blocked his path. It was a giant worm, about 5 feet wide, and over ten meters long! Part of its body was still underground, but it aimed its mouth towards Jenso, and revealed several sets of razor-sharp teeth, right before it rushed him and attempted to swallow him whole.

On his way out of the store, Katie was just getting off of work, and noticed Jenso's rush. She was about to call out to the shirtless man, but wasn't able to say anything in time. Was he headed towards the mines? Why? She looked awfully curious, and headed towards Bobba's shop to say hi to the workers, and wish them a nice day...

The rocks weren't nearly fast enough to hit Jenso, and ended up crashing into the rock wall, sending small shards of rocky shrapnel towards their commanders. They were both impaled by the rocks, and collapsed on the spot. These workers didn't seem very good at their jobs. Then again, their jobs never accounted for Jenso.

A Hero Tale: Jeff

"That's enough out of you!" Sila shouted with her hoarse voice, pointing at Jeff angrily, "We've been eating the apples that fall naturally for 50 years! I won't have you trying to change that with some new fangled contraption!!!" Dacer sighed and shrugged, knowing full well that there was no reasoning with this old hag. However, there was a sudden earthquake that shook the ground. Sila fell over, and Dacer had a hard time keeping his stance sturdy. Then a wooden cracking sound roared loudly.

"TIIIIIMMMMBEERRRRR!!!" A large man roared as the trunk of the tree was split in half. The massive tree began to fall forward, towards where Sila, Dacer and Jeff were standing. Nearby civilians rushed away from the crash site as fast as they could. What the hell was that!?!

On the other side of the tree stood a man taller than 8 feet, and bulkier than anyone Jeff had ever seen. He wore an opened yellow vest that revealed his chest and abs, and a pair of yellow pants with a series of erratic black stripes along them. His hair was long, bright blonde, and his face was covered with a mask, revealing only his glowing eyes.

"WOOO!" He shouted excitedly, flexing his arms. The civilians nearby backed away from the titanic man as he continued to show of his strength. "Xi'Ti'Ya always said STRONG trees means STRONG fighters!"

Jenso knocked the man out easily, and kicked the door right off its hinges this time. It seemed to be older than a normal door, and didn't have much strength hold it up. The other two workers immediately turned to Jenso and flourished their own bracelets. Suddenly, rocks jutted up from the floorboards like daggers, all blocking Jenso's path as more rocks flew up from the ground behind him, and headed towards him like little bullets.
