"Alright, let's start with the first question, are you alone?" I say keeping my aim straight at him as I could see the sweat drip down his face.
"W-what? I mean of course I am Alo-"
*Bang*
My rifle fired off as the bullet whizzed by his head and cutting a line across his right ear making him place his hand on his ear.
Johnny and Gyro got tense from the gunshot while Stocking looked outside her tent before coming out to watch the show.
"Andre Boom Boom, don't lie to my face like that, I keep a good track of everyone that was in the top twenty of this race, and I know that you got a brother and father who are with you in this race, so that was a big fucking lie, in fact if your here that means they can't be to far away, I wonder, will they make it before I kill you?" I said with a menacing look in my eyes making him stumble and fall on his ass as he began to hyperventilate as fear was beginning to overtake him.
"Question two for you Andre, answer right and you won't get a bullet to the brain, answer wrong and the next one will go right through your stomach." I said before moving back the lever to load in another shot.
"Hifu-" Johnny was about to say something but Gyro held up his hand and stopped him while shaking his head as if this guy has others that are nearby then he most likely is an enemy to all of us.
"Question Two, have you ever gone through a 'Devils Palm'?" I said which visibly shook him making me squint my eyes.
"Ahh, I already have my answer, question is are you going to tell the truth or not?" I said keeping my aim on him though I began to hear the sound of hooves clattering in the distance making his eyes widen, but I wasn't going to give him the time to think.
"That's them isn't it? They must have heard the loud gunshot across this quiet desert and want to see if your alright huh, question is, do you think they will make it before I shoot you again? Now then, ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION!" I say which makes him scurry backwards all while his pants were soaked in piss from fear.
"Ok! Ok! Yes! Me and my family went through a Devils Palm alright!" He couldn't help but blurt out the truth as he very well knew death was staring him right in the face.
"You and your family huh? So then all three of you were cursed by the Devils Palm weren't you? And because of that you got something out of it, last question! What did you get from the Devils Palm!" I shout out at him just as we see two horses crest a nearby hill.
"Andre! You alright! Pa heard gunshots!" Andres brother, who for some reason looked more like a woman but was definitely a man, shouted out to Andre who was doing his best to run from me.
*BANG!*
"UUUWWWWAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!" Andre couldn't help but scream out in pain as a golf ball sized hole ripped right through his stomach and out the other side.
"Andre! You Bastard!" L.A, that's Andre's Brothers name, shouted out at me when he saw his brother get shot through the gut by me.
"Dammit Andre! You were supposed to act inconspicuous and get them to touch your stuff! How could you fuck this up so badly!" Andres dad, Benjamin Boom Boom, said as he reprimanded his son for messing up the job, not even remotely caring his sons got shot in the gut a second ago.
"So touching him or his stuff is the trigger huh? Gyro, Johnny, Stocking! Let's get out of here and fast! I will explain what the fuck is going on along the way!" I say slamming my foot onto the ground and rapidly using the spiral to get everything packed up once more for all of us.
Stocking grabbed our stuff and hopped on her horse, Johnny was hesitant but Gyro saw the bigger picture and listened, seeing this Johnny began to follow as I got on my horse and sped off.
*bang bang bang!*
Benjamin boom boom began to shoot at us making me turn and fire back on them, though for some reason I noticed from this distance that Andre's bullet wound from his back got bigger and that made me realize what he did as I checked all over me but nothing foreign was there on me or my horse making me look at Gyro and Johnny but I didn't see anything on them either.
'He must have missed, at least I hope he did.' I thought to myself as we kept going along.
"Hifumi! What the fuck was that all about?! Why did you go all gung-ho on those guys? And what the hell were you talking about when you mentioned the Devils Palm?" Johnny couldn't help but asked while he ride up beside me with Gyro on my left and Stocking behind me.
"It's rather hard to explain but the devils Palm to most people is like a cursed land that keeps on constantly shifting the shape and location of where it's at, there's at least one Devils Palm on every continent of the world and the one in North America resides mostly within the Arizona Desert."
"Compasses don't work and the scenery can rapidly change making it hard for one to travel through and escape it, most die when caught inside of a Devils Palm, but those lucky enough to survive are cursed by it and are given powers that are beyond humanly possible, I have been through one before and have been cursed by it as well, and out of it I got an ability a human could never possibly possess, but the thing is that when you go through a Devils Palm and are cursed by it you can feel it in others near you if they have been cursed as well, and those three were all cursed allowing them powers beyond imagination." I said making them sweat a bit.
"I don't know what they have but from what his father said is that Andres only works if something from him touches you, or that you touched something of his, and I'm guessing ever touching it through clothes or shoes means you activated the requirement for his power to work, but since none of us touched him it didn't work at all."
"I don't know how his brother or fathers powers work but if they got it together then that means all of their powers are similar to one another." I say while looking at them both.
"When we lose them I will prove to you my powers and then you will know what I'm talking about isn't a load of bullshit, but let's just keep moving for as long as we can." I say to which they both nod to me and agree to get the hell out of here.
But this wasn't the last we'd see of the Boom Boom Family.
