Chapter 7 - Chapter 6: The Sword Pull Out Competition

It's not specific oh how long was Hero out when he opened his eyes and regained consciousness, he saw himself in an old strange place like the tombs of Egyptians. The place was really ancient he saw the big pillars that were holding the whole place together.

"Good news he's awake". Hero heard someone say that, when he looks to see who said that Hero saw the place full of nurses all dressed in a khaki, brown-ish jibbaahs and there were also beds in that room maybe it must the hospital or clinic.

"Hey you are finally awake!" A strange man came and greeted Hero.

This man was tall and quite handsome his charm and good looks were so obvious all the nurses were eyeing him, like he was the last candy in the candy store.

"Where am I and more importantly who are you?". Hero looked at the stranger.

"Hah,hah,hah pardon me where are my manners, my name is Damacus Vice. But you can call Vice". Vice raised his hand to shake Hero.

Vice wasn't dressed like the other nurses and he wasn't wearing any jibbaah he was simply wearing a Chinese tunic suit black in colour with a Eye of Horus on the left side.

Vice had spikey brown hair his eyes were green and he had a smoking pipe to complete his look, he sat down next to Hero and read his hospital file that was sitting on the counter.

"Well, well, well that's interesting". Vice reading Hero's file and smoking his pipe.

"What is it?" Hero asked.

Hero was covered in bandages in his whole body his bandages were drawn many hieroglyphics from a bird, a stick and many more even one looked like a heart or a drum at best they were all disappearing from the looks of it.

"It says here your heart shifted to your right side, how are you still alive kid?". Vice comes closer to Hero and stares into his eyes. "Are you a witch or something?". Vice flinches his eyes.

Someone hits Vice at the back of his head.

"Ouch". Vice rubs his head.

A beautiful middle age looking nurse who is well developed in the chest area and has a beautiful figure, wearing a jibbaah that was very short it showed some things.

"You know very well you do not touch the patients files!". The nurse takes the file off Vice and snacks him with it.

"I'm sorry but the kid's heart relocated to his right side, now tell if that's not awesome". Vice says.

"Forgive my rude interruption, but what is he talking about?". Hero concerned.

"Oh sorry honey don't mind him this moron over here doesn't know how to read, so you can relax that's not the case". The nurse calms Hero who was trying to put on a brave face but was actually freaking out.

"That's a relief, so when can I go back home?". Hero didn't waste any time.

"Well you do have a few broken ribs which by a miracle are all healing up just fine and your body still has poison in it, so when you are all healed up you can then go back home. To your family". The nurse gives Hero a warming smile.

Hero's faced changed into sadness.

"Hey kid are you okay? You see now Cherry you bumbed the kid with your wrinkled face". Vice pokes the nurse's big melons.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that". Cherry apologizes.

"No it's okay it's just that I'm worried about the girl". Hero uses that as a cover story.

"Huh?". Vice continues to poke Cherry's melons.

"Oh would you just stop it you perv!". Cherry punches Vice on the head.

"I'm sorry". Vice feeling the pain.

"Where is the girl that I was with? Is she okay?". Hero ask both Cherry and Vice who both looked like they were going to kill each.

"Huh, a girl?". Vice confused as hell.

"Yes she was lying next to me badly hurt also". Hero explained to them.

"Oh you mean Cleo don't worry she's fine lucky for her, her bruises weren't that deep". Cherry assures him.

"Okay come on kid, you better tell me what really happened". Vice changed and became serious then he took Hero.

Vice and Hero were now walking around what at first seemed like just a small hospital building but the matter of fact it's actually more big just to the a hospital. This place looked huge it looked more like school or a state penitentiary prison.

The walls were so high even the window were wide.

"Okay kid tell me what really happened". Vice asked Hero.

Hero explained everything which by the way was a miracle because for someone who just went and experienced what he went through first hand and first time, he was in a much better position than anyone would expect him to be.

"And you went through all that and you are still breathing?". Vice interested.

"Apparently". Hero answered.

They passed so many rooms in that building and that's when Vice decided to take him to the other room, where there was tech and all kinds of science stuff.

"Baron". Vice greeted a scientist.

"Vice". The scientist greeted him back.

They entered the room and there were a couple of hundred scientist working on different kinds of science stuff.

One scientist came to meet Vice and Hero halfway.

"Vice so nice of you to join us". The scientist shakes Vice and Hero's hands.

"So Johnny what's going on?". Vice asked.

"Well you won't believe it but the Soul Reaper sword came flying through the ceiling and landed right here". Johnny take Vice and Hero to show them the sword.

When Hero heard the name of the sword he cleared his throat. "Sorry I have something on my throat". Hero lied.

"It came on it's own?". Vice asked Johnny.

"Yes". He replied.

"If that's the case then why don't you guys go out it with the rest of the dangerous artefacts?". Vice suggested.

"That's going to be a problem". Johnny fixed his glasses.

"And why is that?". Vice lost.

"Well I don't know how to explain this but it seems like the sword doesn't want to be lifted". Johnny tries to explain.

"What's that suppose to mean Johnny?". Vice waiting for an answer.

Johnny clears his throat "what I mean is that the sword doesn't want to be lifted off the floor, many of our smart scientists have tried everything to pull it out even pulled it themselves but it won't budge it seems to go in even deeper into the floor by each pull". Johnny explained further.

Vice didn't know how to react to that at first he didn't want to believe Johnny he thought maybe Johnny was pulling his leg, then Johnny decided to show them what's really happening.

Johnny showed them a forklift trying to pull the sword off the floor but instead of the sword coming out the forklift was the one that broke when the sword driver deeper into the floor.

"Whoa". Vice surprised.

Many attempts were tried to take the sword off the floor but all seemed to be hopeless they brought out the strongest people to pull out the sword which all of them failed, they also bought golems to life to try and pull out the sword but as far as the golems went the minute they touched the sword they melted to the floor.

Nothing was working and now the sword was deep into the floor, Hero just stood there in silently and chose not to say anything. Just decided to watch.

"Okay step aside scientists let me give it a shot". Vice told everyone to step aside and decided to give it a try himself.

Vice happened to be one of the most powerful person in there so he attempted his try, Vice pulled and pulled but nothing happened he pulled and pulled again still nothing happened, he even cast out hieroglyphics to help him but nope all that failed.

"Are you kidding me?". Vice getting tired."okay then one last try". Vice took a deep breath.

Vice rolled up his Chinese tunic suit sleeves all the way to his elbows and pulled one more time, nothing changed Vice kept pulling and pulling. To show that he was using all his strength... He even grunted then the sword made a sound that shocked everyone.

It sounded like it was getting pulled out for a second then stopped and went in even deeper the only thing that remained outside was it's tilt.

Vice joined Hero and Johnny who were standing watch then a girl in a hospital robe joined them.

"What's going on here?". She asked.

"We're trying to pull the sword out". Johnny told her.

"But by the looks of it looks like no one amongst us can". Vice sounded tired.

It looked like the girl was about to say something when what happened next shocked everyone Hero had pulled the out off the floor.
