NEXT DAY
"And done!! The metal armor is finished!!" Jun shouted as he finished making his armor set "Now all I gotta do is paint them white!"
"Yay!" Lilly clapped her hands.
"Can we also spellbind armors?" Jun asked in his head "I'm gonna have to go to Coen's kingdom to check this out"
A few hours later, Jun opens the door to his house to discover Nugget, 07, and some random dude standing there "Woah! You guys are here!?" Jun shouted.
"Yeah, we have to introduce Xuanyu," Nugget said.
"Hey," Xuanyu laughs.
"Oh, hey. Do you guys know each other or something?" Jun asked.
"Yes, he's one of our friends who is also human and we all woke up in the same area" 07 answered.
"Wow, just like me, George, and Mikey," Jun said.
"I'm gonna go exploring now, so, I'll see y'all later" Jun runs around them and down his stairs to the valley.
CHLOE'S HOUSE
"Well.. in a few more days there's going to be a new president," Chloe said to Evelyn and Angie.
"Yeah, and your presidential term is ending along with it too, right?" Evelyn asked.
"Yes, but.. we don't know who will be president after this" Chloe explained "It depends on the election"
"I see" Evelyn replied.
"I'm going exploring! Take care of everyone!" Jun runs past them and into the woods.
Then he stops when he spots Moises in front of him.
"Hey," Jun greeted Moises and two random people again.
"Geez, why are there so many new people" Jun said to himself.
"See ya! I'm going exploring!!" Jun shouted while running away.
Moises takes his friends and runs through the town of Izuzunu.
He then stops in front of George's house "It wouldn't be good if this house gets destroyed.. right!?" Moises laughs it off and places down dynamite.
George is still fast asleep in his house on his bed.
Soon the dynamite got lit up and exploded "BOOM!!" George woke up in fear and fell to the floor.
He lives in a two-story house and the bottom floor was exploded.
"What the!?" George shouted as his house began to fall sideways.
George quickly jumps out of his windows with his armor equipment and lands perfectly.
George watches as his house crumbles into pieces and falls into ruins. Behind his house, he sees Moises and two random people running away from the ruins. George was shocked.
"Why did Moises explode my house?" He asked himself as he punched the floor.
"George! What happened!?" Chloe shouted as she ran up to George.
"Moises... he did it" George looked mad as he looked at his house with an angry facial expression.
"I'm gonna do it again" George tries to calm down "I'm gonna try to become the president again... to execute Moises!"
RISE OF IZUZUNU
VOLUME 3, CHAPTER 22, MOISES'S GOAL
THE PLAINS
Jun walks through the valley with his sword in his hands. Surrounding the valley are mountains. Today is a bright day as the sun beams onto Jun's face. Luckily, it was a pretty windy day to keep Jun cool.
He runs into a hole in the ground with a ladder. "What is this?" He wondered as he entered the hole into an underground basement.
He finds a chest full of loot and a stairway that leads down to a mining tunnel. Jun slowly enters the stairway down to the tunnel and spots a boy in the distance. Well, he kind of looked like a teenage boy.
"Hello?" Jun said as he entered the mining tunnel. The boy walks up to Jun with a mining axe "Oh hey! Who are you again? You're Jun, right? From Izuzunu?" The boy asked.
Jun continued to question the boy in his head. In confusion, he thought why does the boy know him? Is Izuzunu popular around the world already? Is he a survived Izuzunian from the war?
No questions of confusion were spoken out of Jun's mouth except "Yes, who are you though?" Jun asked.
"Oh, we were just moving our village to a new place because the Doomgaders tried to attack us, but we managed to get out safely" He answered "My name is Misha Morozov, and this is my friend Mark" He pointed at another boy; he looks a lot older than Misha though.
"He's incredibly good at fighting though! So don't mess with him!" Misha says.
"Oh... well, do you guys want to maybe stay at Izuzunu for a while?" Jun asked. "Sure! Let me just get my people!" Misha exclaimed as he left Mark with Jun.
"Well, he seems nice," Jun said to Mark, a druzel-looking boy with pink hair and pink eyes.
"Nice hair," Jun said.
The boy kept quiet. Jun was getting irritated that the boy was just standing there quietly, making it awkward for both of them. Jun thinks of what to talk about until he finds out "Mark" Jun called out "I might need your help"
It was quiet for a moment until Mark finally spoke out "With what?" Mark finally spoke out. "War" Jun answered.
Mark finally stopped staring at the ground and into Jun's eyes "War, huh?" he said as he placed his metal axe down on the table next to him.
"There's this guy... and he wants to go to war with us because somebody stole his wood" Jun explained to Mark.
"Wood?" Mark began speaking with a confused face. "Heheh" Jun laughs as Mark still kept a confused face.
"Okay, I'll maybe fight too, but I'm gonna have to get new armor because all my armor was stolen by the Doomgaders" Mark accepted Jun's invitation to fight in the war if it happens.
"I have armor for you-" Mark interrupted
"No thank you, I can do it myself" Mark walks up the stairs and back up to the surface.
"Geez" Jun let out a sigh as he held his chest "That guy is so scary"
"Sorry Jun" Misha laughs "We have over fifty people with us, you think this is good for Izuzunu?"
"What!? Fifty!?"
IZUZUNU, MORICHI
"It's funny how Jun just left his old house here without clearing the land," Evelyn said to herself. Jun left his huge house on top of the small mountain next to the lake to build a new house behind Chloe's farmland.
"Oh, Jun's back!" Evelyn exclaimed to Chloe. "Jun, wait- who are all these people?" She asked. "New Izuzunians!" Jun is said; out of breath with excitement.
A few hours later after making the Druzels a place to stay, Chloe finally explains what happened to George's house "Moises, he did it... he destroyed George's house with dynamites. I think Moises wasn't playing around when he said he was gonna start a war because of his wood"
Mark's face filled with anger "This guy. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard"
"Except for that war that started because someone got their socks stolen," Max laughed. Mark looked at him with a stern face while Max's smile slowly turned into a frightened face.
"I'll go talk to him," Jun said, but Chloe stopped Jun "He's not home," She told Jun "Where did he go?" Jun asked.
"How am I supposed to know? He's so... mysterious" Chloe answered.
"Don't worry George, you can spend the night with us!" The druzels included.
George thanked them "Thanks" He heads inside the houses of the druzels.
"Is this really how Moises is going to act like?" Jun said to himself then said out loud "So, really... who took his logs?"
"I have no idea" Chloe replied "It's like it just mysteriously disappeared"
"Mysterious" Jun said "Okay, I'll just go check on Lilly" Jun walked back to his house through the bridge.
MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
"I'm gonna start a war against Izuzunu" Moises smiled at Mark "I'm gonna slaughter all of them, well, maybe not Jun"
"I see" Mark commented.
"Someone stole my wood... I wasn't in the mood for any theft" Moises added.
"Wood" Mark spoke. In Mark's head, all he thought of was how ridiculous all this sounded to him "How though?? He only has three people with him. Plus I don't get it!? Go to war!? Over wood!?? Come on bro, Over wood? Over wood!??" Mark asks questions in his head; he's very confused "He could just get more wood! We're surrounded by wood!"
"So.. why?" Mark asked out loud.
"They took my wooden logs," Moises said with a serious face. Moises then takes out a sword, a sword made of diamond with a different material for its handle "I'm gonna kill every single Izuzunian until they're all gone!"
"But they gave you home.. they gave you a place to stay" Mark tried to convince Moises not to start any war.
"I don't care... I could've been all good without them... well... except Jun"
"Jun?"
"Yeah"
The forest was quiet. It's currently nighttime as the owls in the trees hoot all night.
"I have to go now" Mark runs away into the distance "I see, he's really serious about this. Jun, what will you do?"
JUN'S HOUSE
"Hey, Lilly" Jun sat on the kitchen chair in his cooking room. "Yeah?" She replied to Jun as she got ready to go out and make her own house.
"So... do you want to be the second candidate to become the president!?" Jun smiled, trying to find out who wanted to be the second candidate.
"No, I'm okay. I think I'm not gonna be a good president, I'm sorry" She answered.
"Okay" Jun's smile turns back to normal as he exits the house "I'll be right back"
"God damn it. No one wants to be president" Jun said to himself.
He spots Edison, Chloe, Angie, and Evelyn walking around the newly built Election Stage "Woah" they all stare at the stage.
"Hey Edison, you want to try to become president again?" Jun asked.
"Nah, I'm good. I don't trust myself anymore after that incident" Edison pats Jun on the shoulders.
"How about you girls?" Jun turned to Evelyn and Angie.
"Nah," they both said at the same time.
"Well Chloe, you found anyone?"
"No" She replied.
Jun makes it to Max's house and knocks on his door.
"Yo Max" Max opened the door "Hey Jun" He greeted.
"Do you want to be President-"
"No"
"-Bruh"
"Hey, Misha! Wanna try out becoming the President??"
"No"
"Irene, do you want a chance to become-"
"No thank you"
"What!?"
"Ay yo Mikey! Want to become the president?"
"No, I'm a bit busy so I won't be able to protect the land"
"... with what" Jun questions.
"None of your business" Mikey shuts the door.
Hours after asking everyone he knew, he finally stops "I give up" Jun sat on the grass in his front yard.
"What's wrong?" Lilly came up to Jun.
"Nothing, no one wants to be the second candidate" He answered.
"Oh... that is something" She sat with Jun.
"I'm bored" Jun lays down and raises his hands up to the sky "Let's fight the oshir"
"The what?" Lilly asked.
"I'm planning on fighting the oshir" Jun got up.
"What's the oshir?" She is confused.
"Of course, she doesn't know," Jun said in his head as he got up from the floor.
"It's a type of creature... a very dangerous one" Jun spoke out and explained.
"The oshir is summoned with sand and it summons a dragon-"
Xuanyu walks up to Jun "Yo!" He comes in out of nowhere.
Jun had the greatest idea ever... to ask Xuanyu to become the president.
"Hey Xuanyu!" Jun smiled and remembered something "Wait a minute.. I never asked him if he would like to become the president" He says in his head.
"Do you want to become the President?" Jun asked for the final time.
"Uh.... uuhhh..... uhh" Xuanyu thought very hard.
Jun and Lilly were waiting for an answer. Jun pleased him to say yes. Jun closed his eyes as he held a fist very hard "Please!!" He shouted in his head.
"Uh... sure" Xuanyu finally answered the question.
Jun smiled very wide and shook his hands "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! No one wants to become the freaking president! You're the final candidate!" Jun shouted.
"Well... glad I can help. Who am I going against?" He asked.
"George, he's about ten years of age, I believe" Jun replied.
"Oh... I better not lose to a child then" Xuanyu included.
"I heard your conversation, you wanted to fight the oshir," Xuanyu asked.
"Yeah, I feel as if I can get another chance to kill the oshir again," Jun said.
"Again?" He asked.
"Yes... back in Hwalshindo, which is basically the old town of Izuzunu, we fought the oshir because Nugget summoned it" Jun answered.
"wha-... why?" Xuanyu asked.
Jun turned to Xuanyu "We were enemies back then"
Xuanyu did not know that and just stared in shock.
"Do you want to fight it with me?" Jun asked.
"Sure" He answered.
"Okay, let's maybe get Nugget or someone else," Jun says.
"Yes," Xuanyu said.
"Well... I guess I'll see you soon then" Jun said.
Moises is watching from the distance.
"Let's invite Jun right now" Moises jumps off of Jun's roof. "Step aside Xuanyu, I need to talk to him privately" Moises grabs Jun.
"So, Jun... you know the plan?" He asked.
"What plan?" Jun replied.
"The plan... to kill everyone" Moises smiled "Will you join our side... or will you die losing the war"
"What..." Jun remembered a similar phrase from somewhere. Summer.
"You either stop and live, or keep trying just to die" Summer's words spoke.
"What'll it be?" Moises says.
