Chapter 7 - Rainbows and Sunshine

This man who was over seven feet tall, muscular built, wearing a tight Navy blue t shirt, and white baggy cotton pants, his hair was also as blue and spiky. His both ears hand gold earrings and there was a scar on his left eye.

Acura looked up and was amazed, in his mind he knew that this man was indeed strong.

"Are you not going to apologize kid"

Acura just sat there on the ground dumb founded, the man stooped down to Acura's level and said "it's too late now" Striking Acura on the back of his neck, his vision faded slowly until his head dropped to the ground.

The man stood back up sighed and proceeded to walk away, until he heard someone yelling. As he looked back it was the same kid he had just knocked unconscious. Surprised at this he just looked at Acura with suspicion.

Acura who was now back on his feet was huffing and puffing, but now his usually black down hair was up and messy, and his pupils were now inverted. He yelled and charged after the man with a rage.

The man simply caught Acura and lifted him up to his height. Acura struggled and struggled he even managed to kick the man in his chin but this did nothing. While Acura commenced a barrage of blows the man just gazed at him.

"I don't sense any Psych whatsoever, it must be ridiculously low."

The man thinks this while his cheeks is being stretched apart. He wonders how a kid that he struck is now back up with this much vigor, it didn't make sense to him, but regardless trash was trash. The man no longer interested flung Acura right into a nearby wall. As the rubble and dust cleared an unconscious Acura can be seen eyes pale white and blood streaking from his forehead.

The man again decides to walk away, but yet again he's stopped. This time his natural instincts alerted him and instead of turning around he immediately gained distance. What he saw was a little boy floating in the air with an intense white glow surrounding him. He readied himself assuming a battle posture.

Acura slowly turned his head facing the man, his eyes then slowly opened, when it did the man gasped. What he saw was grotesque, there were numerous eyes looking at him through the eye sockets. Squirming around as if there were battling for dominance. After a moment all the eyes were now locked onto the man. Acura's hand raised towards the man.

Out of natural reflexes he jumped out of the way, and huge blast flew right pass him.

"There's no way that kid who exhibited not an ounce of psych could produce a psy blast that huge, and the aura was nothing to play with either, what the fuck is this kid"

The man analyzing what just happened had no time to think as he was now assaulted with a flurry of psy blast. They were smaller than the first, but they had the same quality and strength behind them. As he dodged each blast more of the area was disappearing from the attacks. The man knew that this was no longer a matter to go easy with, he extends his hand and cracks his thumb, and his pointer finger.

The man vanished and appeared right in front of Acura with a devastating punch. Only that his punch did not reach Acura, it was stopped by the sphere of light that encased him. The man jumped away again.

"That's one strong shield, I guess I'm going to have to go all out"

With that the man stretched both hands out and began gathering energy. The same time Acura raised his hand above his and gathered psych at a rapid rate.

"How is he gathering that much psych so quickly"

Acura finished with his preparation, and was about to launch it towards the man when he heard in the background "Acuuura"

Volks had finally found Acura and ran up to him, hearing his voice Acura snapped out of his trance like state and fell into the arms of Volks. His vision faded once again.

Acura finally came to once more, but the first thing he saw was Volks being choked in the air, followed by a hand impaling his stomach.

"POPSSS" Acura shouted at the sight of Volks being impaled right in front of him. But no matter what he was unable to get up, not that he would be able to make any difference.

The man looked at Acura and displayed a sinister smile as he dropped Volks to the ground, the sound of dead weight impacting the earth.

The man then approached Acura and in his ear whispered "My name is Bentley, and you're the reason he died..." then suddenly a look of excitement appeared on his face. "You're still quite young aren't you, I wouldn't want you to forget now."

Bentley raised his hand and stared at the bright red blood, a vile impression on his face. He then stuck one finger out grabbed Acura's shirt and began writing.

"There now you have my name in case you forget it, don't lose it now" he said with a smile. With those words Bentley got up and walked away, for good this time.

Tears, screams, cries are the only thing Acura was able to do at the moment. No matter how many times he wiped his face, more tears just resurfaced.

*cough cough*

"Acura.." a raspy voice interrupts the wailing. "Come here *cough* quickly"

Acura in the bad shape he is in, had to crawl towards Volks. Acura's crying was quelled with the thoughts of Volks surviving the ordeal and everything going back to the way things was. But upon gazing at the hole left in Volks even Acura as young as he is knew better.

"Acura you are a good boy..." Volks struggled with every syllable. "Please remain that way, don't let my death turn you towards the path of hatred. Remain kind and enjoy life make friends and chase your dreams"

Acura biting his lips listening to his pops last words nods his head to Volks last request.

"My wife, my wife isn't surveying the Veil, she is trapped outside it. Take this locket Acura, this is made from metals found nowhere on this land. This is proof that there is a way to pass through the veil, take better care of it than I did. One day when you're older take it to carp town and find..." Volks fights to get the last words out of his mouth, Acura eyes filled with tears begs for Volks to stay with him. The eyes in Volks usually full of vigor and light suddenly dims and fades away.

Once again the cycle of tears and screams from Acura begins. Drops of water falls on the lifeless body of Volks, but it's not the tears of Acura, its rain. As if the sky itself is saddened the rain pours heavily over the two.

Time passed and footsteps is heard approaching the two bodies in the rain.

"Is that bastard actually dead? Ha this is priceless!"

Mr. Waker stumbles upon Acura grieving over the lifeless body of Volks.

"This isn't what I thought I'd see after hearing all this ruckus. Who's going to protect you now boy?"

Acura looks up at the Mr. Waker and it's as if he's looking at a demon wearing a sinister smile, one he's seen too often lately.
