Chereads / The Ultimate Vagrant / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Another me

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Another me

"Whoa!" I woke up from a really bad dream.

"I'm still here?"

Yes I am still in the place where the meteor landed. I ran

back to the shack I currently live in, because if they see me right around the meteor they'll probably question me.

Still, I have no idea what happened there. I was hurt big

time but, I think I'll just take a rest for now.

The next day…

In the warm summer morning, with the heat going up to forty-one Degrees Celsius. The crowd in the arena woke me up. (Creator's note: buddy did not cook with this one.)

"Come on! That's all you got!?" "Go get him!"

"Ugh, what's happening here?"  (What's this? They're fighting? For what?)

"We do this for fun!"(Amar)

"Wha- okay, are you also getting in there?" (I have to ask, I'm interested on who fights who.)

"Yeah, I'm actually next." (Amar) (Alright let's see what he got.)

"Also Amar, is it just me or is it really hot in this island."

"No, it really is hot in here it's been like that since the start!"

(Well, this island really is similar to my home town, oh wait it is near my hometown… Hold on something's not right-)

"Oh yeah, you better prepare because you're next after me."

"A-all right."

"There's armor in that cave over there, you can't  just fight with an attire like that."

"Got it"

The battle starts with them walking in to the arena.

(Just how good is Amar at fighting? Let's find out.)

Amar starts with a kick in the groin, the opponent blocks it with his hand. Amar's opponent reacted fast, he grabs Amar's hand and he stands with his hand on Amar's hand and kicks him by letting his feet go through his arms and to Amar's face and Amar fell.

"That's a wild display of skills."

Amar gets up and pulls out a barrage of punches.

"His opponent was fast and yet, he'd do this kind of attack?"

 

All of the punches were aimed at the head and blocked causing the body to open up, Amar stops and swoops in for that body, using his left hand he tries to get a hit!

"Too bad." (???) Said Amar's opponent that blocked Amar's

punch. Amar's opponent then proceeds to hit Amar in the face.

"Ow! That stings."(Amar)

"Wow these guys are going crazy." (The leader is coming to

me, I know going ask some important questions.)

"You're amazed aren't you?"(Leader)

"Yeah, of course I am" (I actually don't know if I'm amazed or concerned.)

"So I have been wondering, what's the reason you came here

anyways?" (There's a question I can't answer.)

"…"

"Come on now, don't be shy."(Leader)

"I'm not answering that, it's a… private matter" (Really it's not.)

"Well, If you have questions you can ask."(Leader)

"What happened here." (What am I saying?)

"Pardon?"(Leader)

"I know something big happened." (Hey, stop that!)

"You sound different!"(Leader)

"Quit stalling!" (I SAID STOP!)

"Nothing happened here, and 'You' would not understand."(Leader)

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing… I have to go! I'll see you sometime." (Leader)

(….)

"All right, let's see who wins." (What's happening to me?)

"Wha-"

"*Pant*"

Amar's opponent is on the winning side dominating Amar in speed and skill.

"You're already tired?"(???)

"Not yet, I can still win!" Amar is determined and charges up an attack,

"Hnngh." Amar's fist glows in green

"Come on show me what you got!"(???)

Amar comes in with a strong punch! Amar's opponent blocked it with and the green light explodes

"That was strong, but!"(???) Amar falls down unconscious

 "That kind of power consumes of energy."(???)

(Power? What's he talking about?)

The fight ended with the crowd screaming in excitement.

Hours passed, and there I was.

 

Amar walks in to the cave where I prepared

"Amar! You all right?"(I really hope he does)

"Yeah! Also… swords?"

"Yeah, I wield two because of my bizarre style."

"All right."

(I remembered, that green glow, what was that?) "Amar what

was that green glow?"

"Oh that, that's my training finally paid off!"

"W-what?"(What does he mean by that?)

"That's a common technique, it's called "The fists that are true" Or truth energy."

"What does it do?"

"It makes your attacks ignore all lies, or let's say all armors."

"For a common technique that's quite strong."

"Oh no, It's only common because of the fact that it can be learned by anyone."

"With enough practice… right?"

"Yes!"

"The downsides are that, if its user is inexperienced, it costs more energy" (???)

"W-who are you?" (He just came out of nowhere!)

"He's the village's most powerful soldier."(Amar)

"Oh."(Well, don't just come out of nowhere!)

"And I'm the one who trains this guy!"

"Well, what's your name?"

"They didn't give me one, just like the leader." (He doesn't have a name too?!)

"I also beat this guy to a pulp in that arena." (He says that as if he's proud of it.)

"Oh yeah I remember."

"If, you want to know a thing or two just come to me!" (I will for sure)

As I walked to the arena, I find myself thinking about that man

(He sure sounds egotistical, but I know for sure, he has a lot to offer)

I was already in the arena yet I was still talking to myself, but I don't know how I was still fighting. What happened to me in that meteorite, isn't just a random occurrence

We stared eye to eye waiting for the other to attack. (I know it feels weird for him to fight someone with a sword.)

(Welp I can't wait for that long.) I rushed in for an attack to the head. (This should work) my opponent blocked it like it was nothing!

(What?) "You don't know what this is don't you?"

(Wait I'm fighting against a woman?)

 "What's with that look?" (Man, I can't be beaten by a woman.)

"What was that?" (Magic is absolutely different from energy!)

"We're all trained to be able to defend against sharp weapons." (Her expression saying that is so... empty.)

"That was just your own physical body parrying it?"

"No, It's energy, I just used tiny amounts." (WHAT?! ... Focus! I have to do something!)

"It's pretty tiring to see you stand there and think of your next move."

"Say that again I dare you!"

"Come on man! What are you doing!" (???)

(Who are you?) "If you're not gonna do anything, I'll just take over!" (What are you talking about?!)

"Heh, thanks for letting me in your body! You can just study about whatever's happening! Oh wait! You probably can't!"

She charged in for an attack

*BOOM* A large smoke covers the arena. As the smoke clears a purple fire engulfed the two swords.

"What?!" (This guy just now, he's a completely different person!)

(Did I just… use energy?)

"Hup!" 'I' parried the attack with ease. I didn't know what was happening, but you can already guess where this came from.

"What is happening?"

What is going on with me? Did I just use energy? What is this power? Maybe we'll find out after a decade because the creator isn't disciplined enough to do his work. Until next time!
