Hopian 43 - You're so Cool!
Last chapter, instead of continuing the adventure, the story instead went back 45 years to the time of a boy named Noble and his master Venus Fanghit. Both of them are Vigilantes who are trying to cause a revolution in order to overthrow the ways of the Hopian Continent. They now stand face to face with a starving homeless man and two robots who apparently stole his job from him. Now, the two revolutionaries prepare to take down the metal people.
Noble's P.O.V.
"Ok, from this distance, I should be able to launch a flawless and more importantly awesome attack!" I think to myself with an impatient smile as I raise my knee to my chest, staring down the two robots who ruined this poor man.
"My Parabolic Eruption!" I try to roar just like my master would, as I swing my leg back to the ground with all my weak- but still growing body's might, in which I stomp my foot down to the pavement beneath us.
After a second of the robots standing in front of us confused, my Blessings ability finally reaches them, as with a loud erupting sound from the Earth the two of them are launched about a foot into the air.
"Oh yeah, that's what I like ta see!!" My master quickly says with a grin as she runs up to the two flying pieces of metal to finish the job.
"My Kiss o' Poison!" My master shouts as she puts both of her palms on the chests of the now landed and still confused robots, causing them to start shaking, and soon after the effect of her Blessing finally reaches the rest of their bodies as their arms and legs start to rust at an insane rate that only someone like Venus could hope to achieve.
"That should do't." She says with a scoff as she takes her hands off of the two piles of junk, with rust now covering their bodies from head to toe.
"Wow... you're so cool, master!" I say with gleaming eyes.
"Hah, damn straight. Now then, let's send off these bastards." My master responds as she flicks her hair off of her forehead and walks closer to the two job stealers. I follow closely behind her.
I then look down at the robots crumpled on the ground, who are both still twitching a tiny bit and with dimming green lights for eyes.
"Haha, it'll only be a few seconds until they die I bet. Actually it's not like they can die anyways, they aren't even alive in the first place!" I think to myself as I shake my head.
Suddenly, one of them barely turns their rusted heads towards us, "Dear Hopia- n, do you- do you requ- require assistance? Dear Hopi-"
"Shut up!" My master yells as she stomps her foot down on the bots face and drives it back onto the pavement.
"DeAr H-..." Its about to say one last time until its eyes completely shut off and its body goes limp.
"That was... that was just like when Lucria died... that robot went limp and everything, it was just like the life went out from its eyes..." I think to myself as my stomach starts to churn.
"...Master. Did those robots really deserve that? I mean, they didn't choose their jobs it's in their code. And they didn't even fight back- did they- did they even know that what they were doing was wrong?" I ask as the pit in my stomach grows even bigger.
"Are you kidding me, you fucking idiot!" My master yells at me with a furrowed brow, as she stretches her arm out and swings it towards me to backhand my face.
Her hand hits my face with a loud slap, "What are you, one of those people who think kids can get away with murder because they "don't know" they did something wrong?! They're computers for God's sake, and you don't think they know?! Look, just look at the poor man they ruined!" She continues to try to convince me as she grabs my face and turns me towards the homeless man.
"..." I don't respond, as I stare at the man who is now passed out on the floor with a empty bottle of whisky in his hand.
"If it weren't for those bots taking his job, this never would've happened to him! Do ya understand now?! Mark my words, this new technology is gonna be the death of Hopian." She says as she bends down a tiny bit and stares into my brown eyes.
"...Yeah, I see what you mean." I respond, finally snapping out of my stupid ideology as I stare at the fallen man.
"Good. This is why we're never getting one of those new "phones" either, all they do is make people antisocial. And that internet too, it seems like everyone's got it in their house nowadays..." My master continues to mumble to herself as she wipes her hands together.
"What?! And I wanted to see the new tech too, those new phones they made recently are so cool... But, like master said, it's better to not have one." I think to myself as I quickly cheer myself up.
"Anyways, bud. Yer Blessing really is getting way better. I still don't get how it works though, but, it looks like our training is paying off!" She says with a laugh and a thumbs up.
"Oh, that's easy! Hold on a minute, I'll show you, this is my time to shine!" I respond with gleaming eyes as I dig my hands into my track pant pocket and pull out my small journal and pen I always keep handy.
I then lay down on the dirty- but natural pavement and flip to a page in the book. "Alright, so if I'm standing here, then..."
"Right, right, then acceleration too, can't forget motion!" I mumble to myself as I continue to draw.
"...Right! Master, take a look at my genius on paper!" I say as I finish my diagram and jump up to show it to Venus.
"Hah?" Is all master says as she stares down at me and then at the book I'm holding towards her.
"It's sideways, ya know... annnnnd that's even worse. What'm I even looking at?" My master says as she takes the book from my hands and scrunches up her face.
"What?! I even wrote out the definitions too... Is it because my parabola isn't drawn correctly?" I respond sadly as I lower my head, realizing my master is still quite stupi- unwilling to learn physics.
"Haha, is the sun smilin'?" She says with a goofy grin.
"Oh come on that's what you noticed! Yes but- anyways that isn't the point! What I meant to show you is that when I stomp my foot on the ground, my mass and how fast I move my leg down determines the amount of force my Blessing outputs. But! That's normal physics, MY awesome Blessing takes that to the next level!" I explain with a grin on my face.
"Mass? Isn't that what those uh, Hopian praising people go to?"
"No not that! Anyways as I was saying, instead of normally transferring the force to the ground, my Blessing lobs it through the Earth in a parabolic motion! And then when it finally reaches the surface of the ground... KABOOM, the force's power is multiplied by a whole bunch, explodes in a huge radius, and hits everything standing in its path! Isn't that so cool, perfect for someone like me obviously!" I say with enthusiasm as I start to pant a little like one of those mad scientists.
"...Right. Anyways, long story short ya still need to train and get some more muscle on ya. Let's get outta here." My master says, sounding unconvinced.
"...Why can't people appreciate physics, I don't get it... anyways, she does have a point though, the power of my Blessing is directly related to my mass so, I do need to gain some more muscle." I think to myself optimistically as she gives me back my book that's years in the making as of now.
"Hey, hey! This is a perfect opportunity, right boys?" The voice of a guy sounds from the entrance to the alleyway, in which five tall guys all wearing ripped brown vests and shorts now stand and block off the exit.
"Ya need something? You bunch aren't my type ya know." My master says in an annoyed tone as she gets in her classic fighting position with her dragon-tattoo-covered arms stretched out in front of her and her palms facing outwards.
"Yeah, that kids got a sweet ass necklace we wouldn't mind having. And I'm sure you guys have some other stuff for us too, right?" Another one of the men with a pony tail and a unsightly scratched up face says to us as he takes out a small knife from his pocket.
"Well that's too bad, ya ain't gettin' shit. Stay back, Noble, I'll show these punks who's boss!" She says to me with a grin and confidence pouring out from her.
"Yeah!" I respond with a smile, quickly moving out of the way further down the alleyway in order to watch my master go all out. Hopefully!
"Heh, big mistake missy, let's get em' boys!" The same pony-tailed man shouts as he charges towards master with the other four idiots following behind him, in which she only retains her classic and invincible fighting stance.
The same man reaches her first as the others standby, recklessly swinging his entire wielding arm at master in an upwards motion. She quickly steps backwards to dodge, causing the man to stop his swing and try a stabbing motion instead. Master then of course launches her own two hands out at his now moving wrist, disarming the knife from the guys hands like it's butter. Then without hesitation she steps forward again, slapping her hand onto his face.
"My-" She's about to say, but two of his men go on both sides of her with both of them throwing a punch towards her head, in which she nimbly ducks below both hits, stretching out her arms as she does so.
"My Kiss O' Poison!" She shouts as she plants both of her hands on each of the attackers legs. Both of the men of course throw another punch down at master, but they suddenly stop and start screaming in pain, backing up while holding their now corroded bloody knees and falling to the floor in tears soon after.
"The hell did you do?!" The pony tailed man calls out as he charges at master again, seemingly having nothing in his hands which allows master to run at him too.
"Wha-" She panics as the man raises his arm up, with the knife now in his hand. He hid it behind his wrist!
"Master!" I utter extremely quickly as the other two uninjured men also charge towards and launch their arms at her. The knife-wielder continues to swing his arm at master in a vertical slash, in which she makes no attempt to dodge as the blade cuts her entire frontside. At the same time though she manages to grab both of the other two men's wrists as she shouts "Ah! My... My Kiss O' Poison!"
"Shit!" The pony tailed man cries out in fear as he takes his blood covered knife and tries to stab master, but he stops the motion when both of the men who Venus is holding start screaming in pain.
"No... guys!" He says with a surprising amount of concern as he drops his knife to floor, and he cries out in anguish as he looks to the other two men who master took out beforehand, who are now completely unmoving with the flesh corroding poison having spread all across their bodies.
"AHAA IT BURNS!" The other two living men scream as they break their hands free from masters grip, in which they try to hold their wrists to ease the pain, but little do they know it'll only make things even worse.
"Fuck it, boys, we're getting the hell out of here!" The uninjured ponytailed man says with a scoff as he grabs the two of his living companions undamaged wrists, dragging them out of the alleyway and leaving his other two dead friends behind.
Master finally falls to her knees, "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Damn it, shit this hurts, ow!" She starts to say as she... weeps? But master never cries...
"Are you okay?!" I call out to her in a nervous state as I quickly walk over to her.
"Fuck off damnit, stupid brat! Ow! It hurts! Make it stop..." She says weakly, and walking in front her I can see that her entire chest has a long and fairly deep cut stretching across it, and more importantly that tears are now freely pouring from her eyes.
"...I know you may be embarrassed, but I think you fought really well! Those guys were pretty tough, and you sent every single one of them to the afterlife or calling for their mommies!" I try to cheer her up, not being affected by the murder of those two men. Why? Because they tried to hurt my amazing master that's why, they had it coming!
"Just... just... help me up, will ya? We can just go back to the- Ow! Apartment." Master says as she starts to try to stand back up again, with blood still oozing out from her chest. Luckily it seems like it's not coming out too quickly and we're not far from the apartment, so bandaging the cut should be able to wait.
🗡🗡🗡
"Ow, can't ya be a little gentler?!" My master shouts out, laying down and flinching on the rundown couch in our apartment as I rub her stomach with a cloth covered in rubbing alcohol.
"Sorry! I'm done now." I say meekly as I step away from her, as she lays her head back in relief.
"..."
"You know, your Blessing might even be cooler than mine. After all, it can literally kill anyone or thing if you touch them for three seconds or something like that, right master?" I ask, trying to break the weird silence between us that no one ever likes.
"...Yep. After I touch someone with my palm and keep my hand still on the same area for three seconds, the poison from my Blessing corrodes the their clothes until it reaches their skin. Then it gets right into the persons veins and the work is done. Deadly is the right word for it if anything, the thing even somehow works on bots." Master replies with less enthusiasm than normal.
"Haha yeah, me and you sure are "blessed" to have won a trip to Vega, aren't we?" I say with a small laugh.
"...That pun was horrible, a brick wall would be "punnier" than that one." She replies as a grin creeps onto her mouth.
"What, oh come on master you just used the oldest one in the books!" I say back to her with a loud laugh.
"Yeah, but it's a classic. And Noble... Sorry for actin' all weak back there, they must of had some Blessing that made me cry." She says in a more serious tone as she stares up at the ceiling.
"Oh so that's what it was! I should have known, sorry for doubting your awesomeness!" I say back to her in complete relief, master isn't weak after all!
"Yep! By the way, tommorow, me n' you are goin' out again to fight so more bad guys. Hopefully we can meet that pony tailed punk again and send em' down under to his stupid pals." Master says in her classic confident tone.
"Yeah!" I brush aside the thought of questioning whether or not she's ok to fight after that big cut, but I know better than to doubt her!
The next morning...
"Alright. Ya ready Noble?" Master says to me as she walks by the long black wooden counter of the apartment, swaying her hips like always in her classic attire as she grabs a small lollipop from the glass bowl at the end of the countertop and puts it in her mouth in a cool fashion as always.
Luckily, the cut on her chest doesn't seem to be effecting master too much, as even with a bandage wrapped around her entire chest and covering part of her black tank top she's still raring to kick some butt.
"Yeah, let's go!" I reply happily as I run and leave the apartment through the black wooden door, with more energy than yesterday as I chose to study my physics a little earlier with the extra downtime we had.
"That's the spirit! Now then, to the streets! Justice must be served!" Master declares proudly as she too exits from our ground-floor apartment and onto the busy street like one of those awesome superheroes from the comics.
"I'll let you decide, which way do you think evil stinks from? Left or right?" Master asks me as she continues to suck on her cherry flavored lollipop.
"Hm... left!" I say with glee as I point to the left of us which of course happens to be the sidewalk full of hurrying people- with some wearing suits and others ripped rags.
She laughs cooly, starting to walk in the direction I! Me! Told her to go on! Maybe her strength is seeping into me, I guess it would make sense as her Blessing is like a disease, right? But a good one of course!
We continue to walk along the sidewalk, until we pass by an alleyway and master stops dead in her tracks and stares into the darkness.
"What's wron- Oh!" I say in shock, as I look where master is looking and see the same pony tailed man crouched over in the alley with a bottle of alcohol in his hands and by his mouth.
"Looks like we're in luck, Noble. Don't you dare even think about interfering, ya got that?" She says to me with a glare in order to make sure I understand as she stares down at me, although master isn't that huge so the height difference isn't crazy.
"Of course, I would only get in your way!" I say in anticipation as I sit myself down on the rough sidewalk outside of the alleyway and she walks towards it.
"Good, now stay on watch will ya?" Master says with her back turned to me.
"Haaaaah? It's my lucky day after all, eh?! Look'ho showed up boys, hehe!" The pony tailed man says, slurring his words as he stands up from the ground with at least 10 other shirtless men wearing brown vests and shorts coming out from the darkness. Nothing master can't handle, though!
"You'll be lucky to make it out of here alive, ya bastards." She only says with a grin as she stretches out both of her dragon covered arms with both of her palms stuck out.
A/N: Action, action, and more action! Will Venus really be able to take on 11 men at once, or will she fall?
