Chapter 183 - Chapter 183 Alley Way Trouble

As the sun rose Thomas stood up and stumbled as he mumbled "I can barely keep my balance." Thomas glanced around the others who were still sleeping as he said "My balance should return to normal within the next few hours." Thomas glanced around at the village and began to slowly make his way towards it as he mumbled "She could've at least given me a break." As Thomas entered the town he heard two people talking about a mysterious shaking and a massive shadowy figure appearing and disappearing without a trace. Thomas stumbled towards them and fell over in front of them and asked "What?" The two people stared at him and asked "Are you alright?" Thomas rolled over and said "I'm fine but I'm more interested in this shadowy figure you seen." The two people stared at him and said "A massive creature or something just appeared after an earthquake." Thomas stood back up and said "Must've been scary." As Thomas stumbled away he mumbled "Good they have no idea it was me nor know what it was." As Thomas stumbled around town he bumped into a man and immediately fell to the ground. The man turned and stared at Thomas as he asked "What's your problem?" Thomas glanced at the man and said "My bad, my balance is a little off today." The man turned back around and said "Whatever I got places to be right now." As Thomas stood back up he sighed and said "These next few hours are gonna suck." As Thomas accidentally stumbled into an alleyway and into three other people he laid on the ground and said "Sorry didn't mean to bump into you." The three people glared at Thomas and said "We're in the middle of something." Thomas rolled onto his back and stared at the three people he bumped into and a kid who was against the wall in a panicked state. Thomas glanced at the kid and asked "Why do you looks so scared?" The kid stared at Thomas and said "You just bumped into the three biggest crooks in the town how aren't you afraid?" Thomas stood up and said "I'm not scared because I'm more so annoyed with my balance." One of the men put a hand on Thomas's shoulder and said "If you don't wanna end up like the kid move along." Thomas glanced at the man and asked "Who the hell are you?" The boy stared at Thomas and nervously asked "Were you not listening?" The man smiled and said "Maybe you'll know if we give you a little example of our power." The man pushed Thomas to the wall and said "Get ready because we aren't about to show you twice." The man held his hand towards the kid and said "With just a simple attack I'll make this brat unrecognizable." Thomas grabbed the man's hand and said "Brat or not I don't give a hell about an introduction." The other two men stared at Thomas and said "I wouldn't recommend you put your hands in the boss." Thomas glanced at the other two and said "I already told you I don't give a hell who you are." The man punched Thomas in the stomach and said "Perhaps you'd like to experience my power first hand." Thomas held his stomach and glanced at the kid as he smiled and said "Prepare to make a run for it." The kid stared at Thomas and said "You should've run now they're gonna kill both of us." Thomas leaned against the wall and stared at the men and said "At this point I think death is following me wherever I go, but I don't think he's following me to kill me." Thomas held his hand up to the man and said "He's probably following the trail of bodies I've been leaving." As Thomas smiled he shouted "Combust!" As an explosion happened behind the man he flew towards Thomas. Once the man was close enough to Thomas he grabbed the man by the throat and slammed him down onto the ground. Thomas glared at the man and said "Lately I've been trying not to kill people, but seriously killing kids, I think I'll make an exception this time." The two other men took a step back and shouted "Hey what are you doing to our boss." Thomas glanced at them and said "Just having a little talk." Thomas glared at the man he was holding down and asked "Why are you trying to kill the kid?" The man began to try to pull of Thomas's hand as he said "That little brat costed me a lot of money!" Thomas glanced at the kid and asked "How did that happen?" The other two men backed away and said "Boss we'll go get the others!" The man glanced at them and said "That kid ratted me and the others out to the kingdom when he stumbled upon our weapons deal." Thomas stared at the kid said "Getting mixed up in things that don't concern you won't get you very far kid." The boy walked towards Thomas and said "But if I didn't report it he would've used the weapons to supply his gang and kill everyone in the village." Thomas glanced at the man who was smiling as he held his hand on Thomas's arm and said "Now that you got your answers and I had enough time to think I it's time for you to die." The man began to laugh as he said "I'm gonna burn you alive!" As Thomas's arm caught fire Thomas glared at the man and said "If it's a battle of heat you can't beat me." Thomas smiled and said "Blaze." As the man's face began to burn he kicked Thomas off of him and held his face as he shouted "You bastard what have you done to my face!" Thomas glanced at the kid and said "Be sure not to use that language." The kid nodded and said "Okay I won't." The man let go of his burnt face and held his hand towards Thomas as he angrily shouted "I'll kill you!" Thomas glanced back at the kid and said "Move it or lose it your choice." The kid nodded and began to run away as he shouted "Good luck!" As Thomas glanced back he seen a small purple orb floating slowly towards him. Thomas stared at it confused as he asked "What's this thing suppose to do?" The man smiled and said "You'll find out soon enough." As the orb shoot out lightning and struck Thomas he said "The more mana I provide this orb the stronger and more destructive the lightning!" Thomas glanced at his tail and said "Dammit you've screwed up my tail." The man stared at Thomas surprised and shouted "How could a couple thousand volts have no effect on you?" Thomas walked towards the purple orb and grabbed it as he said "A little shock won't be enough to kill me." As he grabbed the orb his fur puffed up and he began to emit electric from his body. As the bolts of lightning shot out of Thomas and struck the surroundings Thomas threw the ball at the man and said "Why don't you give it a try!" As Thomas threw the purple orb his fur returned to normal and his clothes had some scorch marks. As the ball hit the man it exploded on impact blowing the man to pieces covering the alley in blood. Thomas stared at the bits and pieces of the man as he said "Shit, I didn't mean to kill him." As Thomas turned around he seen about ten people standing there as one of them asked "Where's the boss?" One of the men pushed his way to the front and said "The boss was here, tell us where he went!" Thomas looked around and waved his finger around the alley pointing to various pieces of him as he said "He's there, there, there, and there." The men stared at Thomas and shouted "You killed him?" Thomas stared at the men and said "Look it's really difficult not to kill someone, so I can't possibly be the blame for his death if he died to his own spell." The men stared at Thomas and said "As if we'd believe you'd killed our boss." As the boy pushed his way through the crowd he ran up to Thomas and said "I called the guards!" Thomas glanced at what was left of the body and said "Don't look that way." Thomas put his hand on the boys head and said "I think we should take our leave." Thomas smiled at the people and said "Believe what you want, just know that you no longer have a boss." As Thomas took his jacket off he teleported him and the boy away as a guard shouted "You people in the alley surrender at once!" As Thomas reappeared behind the guard with the boy Thomas said "Do me favor and keep quiet about this, Okay?" The boy nodded and asked "Are you one of those secret hero's?" Thomas stared at him and said "I ain't no hero, believe me I am far from it." As Thomas began to walk away he said "I'm much more of a chaotic neutral." The boy stared at Thomas confused as he said "Even if you say your not I believe your a hero!" Thomas sighed and said "Alright whatever you say, but don't hold me to any expectations."
