Running at full force, I manage and dodge the big paws of the Peacobear.
'Phew. Wasn't expecting to dodge that. In your face!'
I laugh and start running back to the cave direction. Finally reaching it, I decide on hiding inside and enter(don't try this or you might end up a tasty snack), looking around for any danger.
A deafening roar from outside makes me hide behind a huge boulder. The creature enters the cave and I can hear it's big paws pounding against the ground.
I inhale deeply and hold my breath, hoping it doesn't notice me.
It reaches my hiding spot, it's breathing loud and clear and pauses, after some sniffing it passes and continues moving forward.
"Thank goodness." I mumble to myself, closing my eyes and sighing in relief.
I open my eyes only to be scared half to death, seeing the Peacobear right in front of me, staring at me, with only some three or four inches distance.
Before I can stop myself, I shout, "The hell man! You scared me!," and receive a growl, that obviously says, "Shut up lunch," receiving tons of spit barrage in the process.
It hits me with it's huge paws, breaking the boulder and sending me crash landing hard to the cave wall.
I manage and stand up, coughing and groaning.
It roars again and begins running towards me.
'The exit!'
I begin running to the exit, increasing my speed. The sight of another Peacobear entering the cave through the same damn exit makes me stop on my tracks, and almost faint.
'Two?!'
I sigh and say, "Guess I'm fighting then."
The one behind me stops in it's tracks and I turn to see it isn't happy.
'Guess he isn't the sharing type.'
They begin roaring at each other in aggression.
I move back, knowing the next thing that will happen.
'A death match for a tasty snack.'
They move towards each other and only stop some meters apart.
"He is my snack! I found him first!" The Peacobear that found me first snaps, taking me by surprise and scaring me due to it's deep voice.
'They can talk?! What sort of creepy mess is this?!'
"Sorry bro, we're gonna share." The second one says calmly.
"No I aren't sharing!" It roars. "You'll have to fight me for it!" The first one snaps.
"Are you for real?! You're gonna fight over this little snack that might not be tasty?!" The second replies calmly.
"Hey!" I shout, feeling insulted.
"Hush it snack!" The first Peacobear shouts, at the same moment the second says, "Keep quiet desert."
Anger begins rising in me.
'Ok that's it! I'm gonna show them! But, God! I'm too weak!' I groan.
'Aren't you suppose to beat them up.' The voice in my head says.
'I can't. They can talk!' I say.
He sighs in disgust. 'What an idiot you are!' He laughs. 'Oh well, I'm already picturing you in their mouths, being munched away. I wonder how you'll be shared.' He laughs more.
A mental display of it shows in front of me, causing me to shudder.
'No way!'
'Good. Now go and fight!'
'God! I feel like I have done enough fighting in one day.'
'True. True. But...' It pauses.
After some seconds of silence, I ask, 'But....?'
'But... But.....'
'Yeah?'
'But..... I don't give a damn!' It starts laughing an annoying laugh.
'Ok! I'm out!' I say in irritation and open my eyes.
'When did I close my eyes?'
'Don't ask me! Ask your eyes!' It says in an irritated tone.
'Well, I wasn't.' I reply in irritation.
'Good. Now go.....'
'..... Fight.' I sigh. 'That's all you say.'
'Wait, what?! That's not true!' Silence. 'Bye.'
I open my eyes and sigh. "Great." I mumble to myself.
"Ok. We share. But I'll take more, since I found him first."
"Sure."
The two Peacobears are now looking at me.
"Can't you just let me slide?!" I ask.
"Nope!" They both say and lick their mouth.
"Fine." I close my eyes and begin breathing slowly, but somehow it hurts.
'I thought Purple healed me completely.' I groan. 'He obviously reversed it, bringing some of the pains back.'
I continue breathing, bearing the pain that hurts. I open my eyes and grin. "Come get me!"
They both look at each other, then at me in amazement and burst into laughter. They stop instantly and begin running towards me.
"This might be fun!" I shout and begin running towards them.
One attempts to hit me with it's tail, but I dodge only to be confronted by the tail of the other, which I also dodge and land on my foot behind them, running a little bit and stopping. They begin running towards me again.
'What a drag! I think I won't try to escape again!'
I sigh and groan. "Do you know death is around the corner?! It is closer than you think!"
The two Peacobears stop and laugh.
"Are you threatening us?" One asks.
"Nope. I'm just advising." I inhale, expecting a dumb reply.
"Advising?! Who do you think you are?" The other says and they both laugh.
'Well, I wasn't disappointed!'
"Fine." I stay still, knowing they'll run towards me, but expecting dissapointment.
They continue their running towards me in a very fast and wild manner.
"So much for dissapointment." I mumble to myself and start walking towards them. "Let's go all out!" I say in excitement. For some reason, I want to fight them badly and win.
They finally reach me, causing me to grin. One attempts to hit me with it's paws, but I luckily dodge it. The other spreads it's big colorful tail and brings it down with force and speed. I dodge it, jumping backwards and landing some distance away. The tail lands on the ground hard, shattering the spot.
"Those tails are tougher than I expected!" I say in disbelief.
I rush forward, dodging the huge paw of one, jumping up and punching the other hard on the right side of it's face, releasing a wave and sending it shifting back. I rush towards the one that attempted to attack me, jumping up and giving it a strong kick on the right side of it's neck, releasing a wave and making it move back a little.
I land on my feet. "They both only shifted back a little?!" I say in disbelief, before shouting, "You guys are tough!" I frown. "But if it means defeating you to level up... I'll do it!" I shout and start running towards them. Although the breathing is starting to hurt, I'm not ready to give up, not when Purple is still alive.
The two Peacobears also start running towards me. On reaching them, I jump up and punch one harder on the left side of it's face, releasing a wave and swiftly turning around to land a stronger kick on the others left side of it's neck, releasing more waves.
Surprisingly, their heads only turned and they didn't shift this time. I begin to doubt myself a little.
I land some distance away from them, gasping for air. My body feels like it was never healed. It's beginning to hurt badly. I begin feeling scared.
'What if I die here?! What's going on?! Am I going to survive?!' I shake my head at my thoughts. 'No, don't be stupid! You will survive!'
They lunge forward, each attempting it's own way of attack. But luckily for me I dodge their powerful feather tails and move some distance away.
I run forward, gathering enough force on my two hands. Stopping instantly in front of them, I jump up and land two powerful punches on the two Peacobears, releasing a powerful wave and sending them flying some distance.
I land and begin laughing, then stop suddenly as I begin having an iron-like taste in my mouth. My eyes opens in horror as blood starts dropping from my mouth. I bend my head, looking at the dropping red liquids in horror.
The roaring of the two Peacobears makes me look up again.
"Aren't they tired?!" I ask myself, feeling myself becoming dizzy.
'Hmmm? What's this?! Two creatures are wearing you out!' The usual voice in my head says in irritation.
'I'm feeling pain from the battle before.' I reply warily.
'I guess so. Wanna know something? A secret?' He asks in a suspicious tone.
'On how to beat them?'
He hisses. 'Maybe. Maybe not.'
'Ok.'
'Good. If you want to defeat them, you have to use continuous attacking method.'
'Why?! That will worsen my condition! And besides they talk!'
He sighs. 'I guess Mr Mike and the hooded person don't talk then!' He says in sarcasm. 'Look, the Peacobears are supreme level beasts, in the beast level. They can talk. Creatures from supreme level to God level can talk, only when a person, strongly thinks of it or strongly believes it. If you can't think of them talking, they won't talk... Well they'll be talking, but you won't understand them.'
'Ok. But I didn't think...'
'That aside kid. If you want to defeat them, you need continuous attacking method. If you noticed during the fight, their skins are very thick and tough, making them immune to weapons, fists and so on. Also making them gods among non-magics that depends on weapons.' Silence. 'The only way to win is to continue attacking it, because each time you stop, the pain and damages you give it will die instantly due to its special skin. Therefore, making all your attacks a waste. So don't forget that!'
I listen to him in disbelief. 'You sure are a true joker! How can I affect them if weapons can't?!'
He laughs loud. 'You sure are an idiot.' He laughs more. 'Do you think you can be compared to any existing weapon! You are the true definition of; weapon of mass destruction! Now, just go and start fighting!'
'Wait. How long will I last?!' I ask in desperation, but receive silence in return. 'Great!'
I open my eyes, only to see the two Peacobears running towards me.
I sigh, cleaning the blood on my lips. "I need to win, or I'll end up dieing in this 'life or death' situation! And end up not defeating Purple!"
I close my eyes and begin breathing in and out, slowly but with more force. It begins to hurt more, but I ignore it and focus more.
I feel a rush of air on me and quickly open my eye, slamming my fist on the first Peacobear's face and instantly turn, slamming my fist on the others face. The punch releases a powerful wave, shattering the ground below us and this time, sending the both of them flying.
I zoom towards one and begin raining punches and kicks on it, not giving it a break and releasing powerful waves everywhere. I continue attacking, not giving it any space of freedom.
I can feel something moving down the corner of my lips, but didn't bother to check it. I continue raining punch on the Peacobear, till I begin feeling dizzy. Gathering as much force I can, I punch my last punch on its left chest, releasing a very powerful wave and destroying the ground below us.
It roars in pain and drops to the ground. I watch it as it struggles to breathe, till it's completely motionless and lifeless.
Gasping for air and coughing out some blood, I manage and say, "One down. One to go." I turn and look at the other Peacobear and instantly fear, or is it shock? Rushes through me.
"Impossible!"
'Impossible!'
I and the voice in my head say together.
Standing on top of the dead black smoking Peacobear, is a female wearing a long blue gown and a blue hat that covers her whole hair. She is facing back, making her identity unknown.
She laughs a nice and gentle laugh and shouts, "You're welcome!" Before vanishing in thin air.
'Who is she?! How and when did she arrive?!'
The voice in my head laughs. 'Looks like someone is falling in love with someone.' He says in a voice that makes me cringe and feel irritated.
'Nope! I'm not!'
'You sure?' He asks in a calm voice. 'I can arrange a date or a wedding.' He teases.
I laugh calmly. 'How about you show your face. Let's plan it together.' I say with a smirk.
'No, thank you.' He sighs. 'We didn't even see her face. So, we won't know her if we see her.'
'True. So what are we going to do with these Peacobears?'
'You can sell them for a lot. I am sure they are worth a fortune. And since she's here, there'll definitely be a village or town around somewhere.'
'After I rest.'
I feel myself fall and soon, gone into sleep state.
