Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump!
Ferrin's heart beat like he was running a marathon, he could hear it beating like a rhythmic drum in his ears. 'Who is she?... What is this burning inside me?' Ferrin felt something suffocating him as he gazed at this stranger whom he had never met in his life, ever, according to him. 'Is this... joy?'
"Keke?" The genius monkey took a step back in surprise, its eyes turned resolute and it waved its hand towards the gang of monkeys.
Almost instantly the whole group screeched ferociously, activating their suppressed desires to help guide their rage through their veins. Their combined screams deafened the trio who were right next to them. Yet the silvery-white head beauty remained unmoved, her feet didn't waver in the least. Her blood-red eyes glowed ominously, an endless rage sealed inside them, one whose thirst desired to swallow these nightmarish creations.
Her eyes zoomed past everyone. Noticing and marking down her prey and the ones' she needed to protect. For some reason, her eyes which remained cold and ablaze in a fiery rage, wavered on a specific monkey for a while longer and it wasn't the genius either.
The beauty took a large step forward before swooshing herself into the air. Her hand stretched out and pulled the spear from the dead monkey's head which was still suspended on the ceiling.
The splattering blood loosened up the monkey's tense body. Causing it to let go of both Seilo and its own grip on the ceiling, resulting in them both falling down with light thuds.
"Evacuate from here and don't bother coming back. Leave this instant!" The beauty shouted at Seilo and Ano, one of whom readily agreed and the other? Calmly ignored and stepped closer to Ferrin.
Ano wanted to facepalm herself after seeing Seilo. She ran towards her and held onto her wrist, "Lets go."
Seilo smiled while pulling back her hand, "No, you leave."
Ano frowned deeper, "Don't be an idiot! We need to leave!"
"HURRY!" The beauty shouted with anxiety, fearing the monkeys' would make a move any second. Their brazen and overbearing roars was a grand show of their confidence at themselves, so what if they were wasting time? They would still crush these puny insects.
Seilo turned around and held Ferrin's furry wrist, "Lets go, Lord!"
Ferrin, completely engrossed in the beauty finally snapped out of his daze.
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?" The beauty screamed in panic and rushed towards them. Her spear pointing forward, her intention of slicing off Ferrin's wrist eminent from her spear's ruthless aura.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Seilo's face which hadn't been anything but monotonous finally morphed in panic. She stepped between the two and spread out her arms wide.
The beauty came to a halt, her eyes questioning staring at Ano, "Does your friend have a screw loo-"
"KEE!" The genius found the most perfect chance to strike while their were infighting and commanded the dumb monkeys, who were roaring their guts out as if they were blind and completely ignoring the prey that had been squeezed between them to attack.
The monkeys thumped their feet to the floor and dashed forward, their claws stretching out, thirsty to taste blood. A contemptuous grin on their faces, vividly displaying their loth.
Ferrin's felt his skin crawling all over, he hurriedly glared at Seilo and Ano and screeched loudly, "KEE!"
Seilo turned her head and stared at Ferrin.
"YOU ARE FOOLS!" The beauty gripped her spear tightly in her hand and rushed straight ahead to meet the monkeys' charge head-on.
Ferrin also couldn't entertain Seilo's desire for a staring competition and turned around, preparing to fight with his tooth and nail.
"LETS GO!" Ano dashed towards Seilo and dragged her by the arm. Her eyes burned resolutely as she stared at the tight gap between the two monkeys blocking the corridor's path.
"FINALLY! CHARGE, THEY SHAN'T COME CLOSE TO YOU!" The beauty heaved a sigh of relief and zoomed close to them. Her feet behind their's in merely seconds and overtaking them the next. Her spear let off a violent aura as she stabbed it towards one of the monkey.
Her fine and exquisite movements felt to have been refined thousands of times over under both fire and ice. Her figure was as swift as lightening, nimbly and elegantly dodging the monkeys' barbaric attacks which were full of openings for her.
The genius analysed the beauty with squinted eyes while taking a step back. Its palms getting slightly sweaty.
'Not good! Can she fight two at onc-' The monkey slammed its fist heavily into Ferrin's gut, fully utilising his distracted mind-set.
Ferrin gritted his teeth in hate, he stomped his feet on the ground and smashed his thick skull heavily into the the monkey's gut. 'Payback!'
Ferrin wondered if this was the salvation after having repeated the same mistake twice, 'STAY FOCUSED DUMB FERRIN!'
He slapped his cheeks, trying to light up a fire in his gut. All while once again allowing another monkey behind him to grab his extremely long tail and hurl him swooshing into the wall.
Ferrin blasted into the wall with a heavy thud, indicating the few bones that might have fractured, "Kek!"
Ferrin fell down on his knees, holding his stomach area in pain. The wounds on his back hadn't vanished either, the constant injuries kept worsening this form's of his condition.
'I need to use the other one.' Ferrin dived deep in his mind, without wasting time he drove out his consciousness and drilled it into the 7 feet tall silhouette right next to him.
His body instantaneously healed up and started growing larger, his body shifted into another shape, so rapid that even the monkey's out-stretched claws had only managed to advance a few inches.
Ferrin felt something weird and wrong at the sudden feeling of lose and addition.
'Something's... inside of me!' Ferrin's characteristically hazy monkey green eyes lit up, his body vanished like empty wind, appearing far away from the monkey's claws.
The monkey about to sneak attack Seilo and Ano suddenly halted in bewilderment.
Almost instantly the beauty flickered behind it, her spear hummed ferociously, piercing through both the air and the monkey's skull!
"KEE!" Ferrin's body flickered again, appearing in front of none other than the schemer itself.
"Keke!?" The genius took a step back but without waiting an instant, smiled amusingly while flipping backwards rapidly and making a dash towards the exit.
'Tch! I want, no I need to kill it right now but... will she be able to handle all pf thes-'
Thud!
A tight fist smashed heavily into Ferrin's skull, numbing his mind momentarily.
Before the monkey's fist could smash inside him again, his body vanished.
"KEE!" Ferrin's reappeared behind the monkey, his claws stretched outside his body to the limit, without any hesitation he slashed down with a mind swallowed in anger.
The heavy wounds on its back splattered blood all over the floor, dying it in red.
He ruthlessly gazed back, his eyes flickered again as he gazed at the monkeys. 'DAMN YOU ALL!'
His body vanished again, ignoring the genius who was leaning against the corner of the corridor and observing both him and the beauty.
He flickered behind a monkey and intended to go for the kill but the monkeys had packed together, heavily focusing on the beauty who was blocking the corridor. Not letting the monkeys to chase after is the two girls. The monkey near Ferrin immediately reacted and hurled its tail heavily towards Ferrin, causing him to dunk and let go of the opportunity.
The beauty's blazing eyes flickered as she stared at Ferrin, something welling up inside her. Something ancient, yet familar, 'What is this? Who is this? A nightmare? No, whatever that thing is, its conscious, its not dreaming.'
Ferrin flickered behind the beauty, almost like a refined expert and used his tail to hurl back the claws aiming at her wide-open back.
'Tch! I am losing control.' A frown appeared on her face, but as if through instincts, her body turned around, guiding her maliciously glowing spear and tore off the monkey's head that Ferrin had deflected.
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
The two stared at each others faces, their eyes reflecting each other's. Their hearts beat rapidly, echoing in their ears.
'What is this? Who is this?' They questioned themselves, asking the reason for their unease, their joy, their unusual reaction.
The monkeys didn't allow them to have their moment peacefully, the remaining 5 monkeys charged over all at once.
The two didn't break eye contact, they couldn't sense the threat placed on them but for some unknown reason, their hearts throbbed outside their chest, feeling the peril placed on the other.
Their body's moved instantly, flickering simultaneously like a candle flame. Their eyes oozed off a rage not comprehensible by either of them. It was something unusual, it was a type of rage they had never displayed, never for themselves.
Their bodies moved like machines having been perfected thousands of them. Even if nothing could be said about the beauty, it was purely surreal for something like this to be performed by Ferrin.
Their figures whooshed across the monkeys, leaving blurs as they flickered about, one by one bringing an end to them in a swift and nonchalant manner. They didn't even feel the threat, it was nonexistent. Only the concern for the other existed, fuelling them to move and kill.
Under a minute the two killed off the last of the monkeys and once again stood face to face with each other.
Ferrin gazed straight at her, admiring the way she had been forged into such a spectacular form. The beauty did the same, both of them were confused about the inexplicable feeling inside their chest.
Ferrin felt something chocking him as he forced a few words out of his mouth with great difficulty, "Wh-Who are you?"
As if it was a signal, the beauty snapped out of her confusion and stared at Ferrin with a cold gaze, the blood-stained spear in her hand raised high, next to Ferrin's neck. The blood from the spear dripped doen Ferrin's neck, staining his furry body.
"I am... a guardian! You... you whose mind wanders the realms of reality, what's your business in the realm of nightmares?! Introduce yourself, guardian!" She asked in an icy tone, her spear inching closer to Ferrin's neck.
"Guardian... What guardian? What are you going on about reality and nightmare?" Ferrin's brows knitted together, he gulped nervously yet forced himself to not step back. He didn't know how but he knew she had barely used her everything just to place the spear next to him. She could in no way attack him.
"Yo-you... what are you playing at? Introduce yourself guardian, if not," She inched closer the spear, causing Ferrin to clearly feel its sharpness, "I will kill you due to your strange origins!"
Ferrin frowned deeper, "I don't know what you're going on about a guardian but," Ferrin's eyes flickered confidently, he leaned his neck closer to the spear and mocked in a casual tone, "I dare you, go ahead if you can."
Her eyes opened wide, "Yo- What do you mean? Are you not aware of what will happen when you die?"
"Of course, who wouldn't know about death. It's just that... something tells me you can't move your spear." Ferrin replied calmly. A strange soothing sensation inside him, desiring to freeze everything here. So that he could be besides her forever.
'Why? Why am I trusting him? Why does something inside me tells me that he is speaking the truth? What is this? What am I doing?' A conflicted look flashed in her eyes, 'Has he used some kind of hypnosis on me?' Despite wondering about the chances, she still lowered her spear and took a step back.
She stared at Ferrin's monkey face which kept smiling warmly and widely before sighing heavily, "Fine then, tell me just what do you know?"
Ferrin felt as if he had won something grand just from obtaining her recognition, he smiled even more brightly and replied honestly, "All I remember is coming to this world after a bright flash appeared admits my sleep. The whole chaos occurred while I woke up. The outside world was destroyed, my mother was laying unconscious in the kitchen and," Ferrin stared at his hands, "I could somehow do this!"
The beauty frowned deeply, "So, you're saying you were pulled here along with yo-"
"AHHHHH!"
"FERRIN! MONKEYS!!!"
The two's conversation came to an abrupt halt. Ferrin stared behind him, at the corridor the two girls had escaped from, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, "Shit!"
