Shit hits the fan a now familiar thunder clap booms in the cave. The flash of lightning killing one, two no four Gnome's at the same they all fall quick as the flash. Njuko rubs his ribs gasping for air.
"That's what you get for standing in a straight line you rock eaters." He sultrys over to the fallen teeth that makes this his sixth cave and twenty first tooth.
Njuko is constantly adapting himself in order to clear the every increasing number of Gnomes. The Gnome's are not very dangerous just annoying. In the fifth cave he had been to confident and spent almost an entire hour trying to kill those Gnome's the problem is that once they hit him he always flinches. This is caused by them having rock hard fists.
Now in the sixth there are two more remaining, Njuko moves throwing a punch to the face of the one Gnome. His fist is not as hard as a Gnome face but he fights through the pain shoot up his arm. Opening his grabbing the Gnome by the face then shooting twool bolts into each.
The Gnome's have subtle variations, the ones with just the buff arm like tree trunks are just normal Gnome's. Then the ones like the one in front of him with a chiseled jaw are much strong and slower and have a stun that lasts a whole three seconds. Him surviving the fifth was luck because he was stunned of balance so when old chiseled jaw hit him he was thrown back far enough that old log legs couldn't catch up in time.
The final Gnome he practices on, he has figures that by fighting the energy build is gradually but most important. Its like shoes, when he fights he doesn't have to think about the body just knows. It like learning to swim he knows what to do he is just reminding him self.
The fight pushes the Gnome to its limit, it actually evades one of his punches managing to graze, he flinches from the blow, the Gnome tries to smile it rock face cracking a little. A flash of light, a smile and all that's left is a tooth.
Njuko picks the tooth and carries on. Walking into the tunnel. Its walls like the body of snake Njuko following it to the next pit. Eight Gnome's he can tell five of them are common Gnome's and the two are chiseled Gnome's and new type its head is bigger almost to big for its body, it bobbles along. Njuko observes there movements. His one leg moving up and down like a pusher waiting for another hit.
Njuko moves in launching a lightning at the wall, he used the flash of light to get into position. He release again striking down Gnome's he moves because chilesed is throwing his sword. Njuko dodges both chiseled throws. He wants to finishes the remaining two Gnome's so he goes behind right at the back of its neck his bolt comes out and kills the other that was dragging itself towards him.
Four teeth mark the fallen on the ground Njuko, focuses on chiseled gnome closets to him. It swings wide, Njuko ducks bobbing his head to side. With such a slow shot he can only... DODGE!
He turns his head, his feet skid he is out of position. Crumbling as a rock succumbs to a wall. A shadow, he through his right shoe, two flashes in quick succession. It blinds the Chiseled in front. A groan confirming he throughs his other shoe and dashes. This time thou it's first one flash.
His feet tapping as he runs, he aims his second shot, boom a rock explodes in front its that damn new type. The stone head, no block head. The block head had thrown another rock, its almost as fast as his lightning shot.
Njuko's head is turned, big brown chiseled whaloops him with a big fist. He flies across the room side banging harder than Mduju on after a bender. He flinches landing awkwardly.
Rock for brains lumbers around to Njuko's general. His movements are so padantic that it's difficult to feel threatened Njuko then is throughly shocked as the old Boulder block's arm spawns a rock. Njuko is still frozen when he launches his spawn at Njuko.
Two heart beats stand between Njuko and death. His heart beats, the chiseled Brothers are coming, he is in the middle of room standing there like bison in a mud sink. There that big ass rock the size of two heads chopping through the air towards him. Njuko blinks thinking about Bilat and Mduju. His new friend and whatever this goblin pot of a party he is in.
Njuko heart beats again, he knows its too late to get out of the way. He can't use another spell not that he has another. By the time he is finished swallowing this spit he be dead or stunned again either way fucked like duck a stuck in a Puck.
Njuko twitches ever so slightly, he panics pulling up his socks they become pants. He jumps up. The flying death rock of spiralling doom collides with him. A loud crack and crunching sounds comes from his usually silent and not mobile rib cage. His pants rip apart. His body joins the wall, hanging there held up by hope like ugly wallpaper. His blood decorating the floor by his feet.
The small puddle is coming from a wound in his side, one of his own rib had Brutused him and puncture in the side. The chiseled brothers stopping since they both lost sight of him. Njuko breathes in or at least pretends to since his lungs don't actually take in any air. He tries again after all needs to breathe to live. 'I'm alive!' the pain in chest, and shoulders, arms, neck, back, stomach and any place on his body confirming that as he knows all to well living is painful sometimes.
He is naked now not a lick of energy in him but alive every else is secondary just like the chiseled brother. Finally free Njuko spies, the cobbel headed cunt. It seems these bastards have a short point of view and have all lost sight. Three tough opponents that Njuko is going to feed to his rock crusher once he pulls himself together.
He gets a sending, happy it is just encouragment to stop being such a dark cloud and storm off. He sees a storm that lasts a thousand years. The way the lightning moves is his hint. If she had made it any more obvious it would have hit him harder than a rock to the gut.
She also sent that that the process is incremental, his had just passed a barrier when he managed to spread himself into some pants. He actually removes all his clothes and puts them away into his ring marvelling again at how big his dick looks in this light.
He moves with purpose he doesnt focus on socks, pants or gloves but rather a storm swirling inside that self perpels once started remeaning and demand to be used. He fills with power running along towards Chiseled brown, who has his back to him.
The various disconnects and constant changing of how his ability manifests itself is caused by in large a lack of understand like how Bilat feels about him. He thinks it's one way but she show another just like his surge first the the bolts now the lightning, "storm Sisters thunder! How did I not see this sooner."
The storms are a blowing and Njuko Issa coming. Chiseled brown rock brow see him, lifting its strong arm which is both. They slam into the ground a crack starting to appear. Njuko doesn't falter but he does lunge both hand up front, bolts fly out of him three at each of his enemies. Mid air twist parry into somersault double leg lock on Chiseled Grey with granite lips. Using his huge body for cover a murder rock leaves a feast for the crows.
Now it just him and Granite top, Njuko can easily out maneuver him. So he does slip in around its leg and then it hits him the Rock brain and Njuko. Four bolts come out of him two when he punch one kick and one when he stuck out his tongue a sort of final fuck you for showing Njuko how to use his own body.
It is also why he feels so frustrated he had not considered that if he just does what feels natural instead of what he was told he could better understand the ability . Now that he knows he can basically do whatevrr he wants he plans to experiment.
