CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
“Get up!” The Man groaned, lifting his head up and looking ahead, yawning.
“Time to work already? Give me a few more minutes.” Laying back down he heard one of the men shuffling for a whip but it was stopped, laying there he began to drift off before he heard a sudden shouting. Opening his eyes he looked over and saw two kids both red haired being descended upon by their captors, he kept an eye on the situation seeing the brother being blocked by his sister who shouted at the men.
“Leave him alone!” The sister cried out, blocking her brother angrily.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHhA2gmk4s
“He’s already been worked to the bone, can’t he get a rest! The minerals aren’t-”
THWACK!
“You don’t get to talk back to us! You both work when we say work, you’ve already proved before you can’t take the brunt of his work and yours. So you shut your mouth.” One of the captors slapped the girl and began to place shackles around their necks.
“Yo man…” The captors heard a voice behind them and then in a second half the cage was destroyed by one of their bodies sent flying.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ3roc5MsW
“Crap… Forgot my shackles aren’t on…” The Man sighed looking at them rubbing his hair.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe0ws0FStc
“Whatever…”
“HRAAAAH!!!” The captors ran at him and he turned to face them, clenching his fist he cocked it back riding it along the winds and with a quick uppercut he caused a miniature upheaval which caused a small tornado launching the men up into the air to come crashing back down into the trees.
“Wh-Whoa…” The sister looked on at him in absolute awe, despite how… Tired and ruined, this one always looked like he was very lively in his own way.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7rCRQEavl
“C-Come on Samuel!” She lifted up her brother and looked at her savior.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC9ySOI5Q4
“My name is Juilet, this is my brother Samuel. Come on, we gotta go before- b-before, what’re you doing?!” Juliet watched the man step back and walk towards his cell which no longer had a door attached to it, he stepped back inside and laid down on his bed. 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8PAuV4SbI
“Old Man get up! We gotta go! They’ll be coming with their reinforcements and-”
“I’m too sleepy for all that kid, plus we won’t get far anyway. There’s no point.”
“Of course there is! Freedom for one and-”
“Kid… Freedom ain’t all it's cracked up to be. Now go ahead and run, leave me out of it.”
“But we’ll die, w-I can’t keep my brother safe, not by myself.”
“Uh huh… Guess you’d better rest up and prepare for work.” He laid there, Juliet looked out into the distance… Freedom was so close but…with her brother in so much pain… They’d never make it..they’d-.
“You’re a disappointment Dallas.”
“You can’t be serious-” Getting up Dallas turned back towards the kids and now also there was an officer of some sort behind them. Clad from the nose down in a black cloak, a black hat with a golden triangle on it and black boots, occasional bits of gold showing on the interior of his cloak.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOuapTaJWJ
“Seriously Hanzo… You didn’t actually follow me all this time did you?”
“I did. You’ve been running rampant in my mind for a while. I just don't see it.”
“Don’t see what? Are you going blind or something Hanzo?”
“I don’t see why you can't do positive things with your skillset Dallas. The world is what it has become and far as we know it’ll never get better. You don’t care and yet.. Somehow, you go against that without even knowing it.” Juliet looked on holding her brother, she was scared but if this guy was the old man’s friend, they’re safer here with them than out there.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoakmcpQnUT
“Dallas, you have vanquished the various demons around the world. Beings some would call great evils time and time again. I've seen it, even with these men instead of killing them outright you just incapacitated them.”
“That’s incapacitating someone for him? He hit them with a freaking tornado with a punch!” Juliet couldn’t believe what she was hearing…
“ I believe you must still hold a shred of goodness in your heart no matter how miniscule Dallas, I know it, in your soul. Remains the same hate for those who seek destruction and use others for their own benefit… So why? Why aren’t you taking your stand to fight against it?"
“Nah, these things just don't stop ending in my way, that's all. I take hit things 'cuz they’re botherin' me. That’s all.” Dallas rolls over and lays back down.
“That’s a load of crap and you know it! You’re saying you do what you do because things annoy you?! That’s stupid! You’re stupid!” Juliet shouted at Dallas who waved his hand.
“Look kid, I’m sleepy. Just let me go or take me with you, I don’t really care. Just let me get some sleep.” Dallas laid down and began to doze off, shortly after a few crew members came over with guns aimed at Juliet but Hanzo blocked her.
“What is the meaning of this?” The guard asked, looking at his fallen troops.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdXdp2iriz
“Who did this?”
“Your men aren’t very mannered towards these enslaved individuals.” Hanzo spoke, brandishing a dagger.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDVVVNRMrU
“I’m taking them into my custody.”
“Say you, what authority gives yo-” The man felt blood sliding down his throat causing him to grip his throat and gasp.
“The authority is power, now I’ll be taking this one and the two kids. Understood?”
The man knew his place and thus Dallas embarked on a journey beside the kids, Juliet was very determined to figure out what made him the way he was… When she found out however she could see why he was so hurt.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FtkL7wRed
“Chin up old man, maybe you’ll find another old lady to be with.”
“Mhm.” Dallas groaned and walked behind them much further.
“What’s with him?” She asked Hanzo and he simply told her.
“Have you ever been in love with someone? It’s a marvelous feeling… And a poisonous one. Dallas had fought many years for a girl he loved, sadly after The Revival and fighting hard for those five long years… His significant other left him. That breaks a man, leaves him a shell of his former, most say they’ve never changed but I know Dallas and I know he’s changed. For the worse.”
