Tisane took a few more steps and stopped as he watched the creature move towards him using it's four limbs. Seeing the creature's funny looking appearance, Tisane couldn't help but smile as he squatted down.
"Hey little guy, is this your planet?"
~Skrrr~
"Yeah, I don't speak alien. I mean up until now, I never really knew you guys existed, but here you are"
Tisane was not really sure what he was doing or saying but with all the craziness that was around him, he would prefer; as the Americans would say 'to swing it' instead of losing his mind.
~Prakk!! ~
The sound of thunder went off in the distance. Glancing at the storm clouds which had suddenly appeared a great distance ahead, Tisane had a worried look on his face as a certain scary thought began to creep into his mind.
He was just beginning to remember that he was stuck in a strange and unrecognizable world which made him to begin to shiver in fear.
What if he was trapped in this strange world forever?
Even if this was a dream, what if he couldn't wake up?
All these thoughts kept going through Tisane's mind until...
~Skrrr!!~
Tisane was jolted from his thoughts by the loud growl of the monkey creature. Switching his gaze back to the creature in front of him, Tisane saw a flash of light and then.....
~Slash!~
What Tisane felt next was an overwhelming pain and a strong blow across his face that sent him flying a few meters away.
Thump!
Falling and rolling like a ragdoll, Tisane was about to lose consciousness due to the pain that invaded his whole body. Touching and feeling the huge gash on his face, Tisane finally knew that this was not a dream but a virtual reality nightmare.
Struggling to get back on his feet, Tisane saw the monkey creature racing towards him in bestial bloodlust and glee. Now he understood that there was nothing funny about the creature for he now knew that the creature was more horrifying than it earlier seemed.
Watching the creature advance towards him at a terrifying pace, Tisane made an instinctual decision to fight for his life.
30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters.....the creature was already before him as it unleashed it's full appearance. Eight limbs, scarlet fur, a pair of ivory horns protruding out of its head and a bunch of deadly looking fangs.
"What the...?"
Tisane watched the monkey creature lunged at him and then...
Blam! Phewww
A huge flash of light struck the creature which was halfway in the air. Tisane watched in newfound shock as the creature was thrown a few meters away from him.
~Skraah!~
The creature gave a cry of pain and anger as it watched it's fur get burned by the strange flash of light. Tisane blinked and scratched his head in confusion at what just happened. What was that light?
~Skraah!~ hiss
Tisane stared at the creature with terror in his eyes as the creature began to regenerate it's burnt body and fur at an alarming rate.
'This isn't real...' Tisane was beginning to wonder if he had somehow been transported to some kind of underworld dimension. If not, how else could he be witnessing something as crazy as this?
"You should stand back" a queer voice spoke from behind him. Doing a quick 180 to see who the new stranger was, Tisane was bewildered as he watched a humanlike figure walking steadily towards him.
This strange person was all wrapped up in a black hooded ninja outfit. He or she (TN: because Tisane couldn't confirm this person's gender) walked up to Tisane and stretched out his hand.
(TN: well I don't mean to be gender biased but this scenario fits a guy more. Don't you think so? *wink*).
Tisane noticed that there was a smooth round object in the ninja's hand.
"Here eat this" the ninja said.
"Huh?" Tisane stared at the ninja in confusion.
"For your injury" the ninja stated, pointing at the bleeding gash on Tisane's face.
"Ah" Tisane flinched at the pain that he was enduring for the past ten minutes.
"Eat now" the ninja said with an insisting tone as he made a quick gesture and slipped the round object past Tisane's lips.
Before Tisane could spit out the object, the ninja tapped his throat and chest as Tisane involuntarily swallowed the object.
~Wurk wurk wurk~
Tisane went into a coughing spree as he tried to vomit the object that was forced down his throat.
"It would help heal your injury" the ninja said nonchalantly as he walked past Tisane.
"Are you nuts?! How can you just force something down someone's throat? What if it was poisoned? You---"
In the midst of Tisane's outburst of anger, he paused as he felt an incredible sensation flow through his body and settled on his face. Touching his face, Tisane noticed that the gash on his face was closing up quickly. In the span of five seconds, the wound had closed completely.
'The wound has healed' Tisane was quite surprised. So the ninja was not lying.
"Erm....." Tisane stared at the ninja with an awkward look on his face.
"You're welcome" the ninja said as he glanced at Tisane over his shoulder.
"How did you----?" Tisane was about to ask a question that popped into his mind when...
~Shriiiik!!~
The roar of the creature reached the both of them as it sped towards them like a red shooting star.
"Stay back now!" the ninja exclaimed urgently as he pushed Tisane with his left hand. Tisane couldn't stop his momentum as he was thrown backwards and fell with a thud.
"Can't you give me some warning first?" Tisane grumbled as he massaged his aching buttocks.
~Shriiik!~
The monster roared once more as it drew closer to the ninja. Feeling the monstrous aura emanating from the monkey creature, Tisane's body shivered uncontrollably.
"I actually thought I could communicate with such a monster?" Tisane forgot to breathe for a few seconds as he recalled coming so close to the monkey creature earlier.
Meanwhile, the ninja just stood in a carefree manner, with arms folded across his chest and legs spread apart. Tisane couldn't see the ninja's facial features or expression due to the hooded covering that casted a shadow on his face.
Tisane was wondering whom this ninja was. Was the ninja also trapped in this world?
Well he had stop his thought train because the monkey creature was already closing in.
Thirty meters...twenty five meters.....fifteen meters...
Tisane began to wonder if the ninja could handle the monkey monster.
Ten meters....five meters. The monkey creature was already in front of the ninja. Tisane gasped and closed his eyes in a hurry, trying to avoid a gruesome sight.
Piak!
~Skraah!~
Bam!
Tisane's body shook violently at the sound of battle. But then, silence pervaded the atmosphere. Tisane slowly began to open his eyes, only to behold a shocking sight.
The monkey creature was seen smashed into the side of a huge stone few meters away from their current position. Tisane stared at the monster which seemed to have collapsed.
Switching his gaze from the immobile creature to the unfazed ninja, Tisane had a dumbfounded look on his face as he took a few steps forward.
"How did you----?" He began to inquire until...
~Skrrrk!!!~
Boom!!
The monkey creature could be seen rising amidst collapsing rocks as its black eyes began to emit a reddish glow. It's fur stood on end like that of an electrocuted rabbit.
~Skrrrk!!~
The monkey monster also seemed to have increased it's previous size as it stood fierce and imposing with sharp elongated fangs. Tisane took few steps backward as he understood that the battle was not yet over.
"It's gone berserk!" Tisane stared unconsciously. Recalling a comic book scene that he had read, where the monster manifested a much more menacing appearance when it was driven by rage. Tisane felt as if he was having a mirror view experience of a manga novel.
"Hmph" was the reply of the ninja as he took two steps forward and then....
~Whoosh~
Tisane felt and heard a rush of strong wind as he noticed that the ninja had vanished.
"Huh?"
Bam!
Tisane saw a strong shock wave in the distance followed by an outspread of debris and dust. Covering his eyes to avoid the dust, he caught a glimpse of two figures engaged in a heated battle. Moreover, it was the creature that was actually unleashing all the attacks, while the ninja just kept dodging. And I mean effortlessly dodging, it was like the monkey monster was just aiming at plain air.
Tisane stood rooted to the spot as his eyes were glued on the mortal combat between monster and human.
(TN: we are not actually sure if the ninja guy is human, cos the author hasn't even specified his gender yet, but well...fingers crossed).
The ninja did a strange footwork technique as he vanished again...
~Whoosh~
~Skrr?~
Bam!
Confusion was etched on the monster's face as it lost sight of its opponent, only for it to be attacked from behind with a deadly punch.
~Skraah!!~
The monkey creature cried in pain as it was thrown a few meters away. Landing on its eight limbs, the monster glanced around in alarm trying to watch out for the ninja but then...
~Whoosh~
Bam!
It never saw the attack coming as it was sent flying again by a punch to the face.
