《THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP》THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP - Chapter 27: Complications
Advertisement
The dragon was old.
He, and i'm guessing, he was about over a millennia or more.
Farah, focused on the dragon, and started creating a strategy, the king was readying himself for battle, white was warming, and i was eating popcorn. i can easily solve this situation, but ending the fight here means less plot to work with, and more ideas needed to come up so.... let them fight it.
"What are you doing?" [King]
"Eating." [Henry]
"Really, now?" [King]
"What, i'm peckish right now." [Henry]
"Just, don't get in any of our way." [King]
"As you wish your majesty. literally." [Henry]
As they ready for battle, the dragon was looking for something, his eyes were wandering around, searching for something, but wha- i'm fu*king with you, it's obviously the dragon egg. what else would that old dragon be looking for, his youth?
The first one to attack was Farah, h-she, god dammit, jumped in the air , and punched the dragon in the face, but particles was emitting out of her fist.
"[Super Punch]!" [Farah]
Although the Dragon's face was forced to the right, but he quickly straightened his head and continued searching for the egg.
"The scales are harder than it looks." [Farah]
"Let me get a hit in." [King]
As the king was saying that, he took out a giant golden battleaxe.
He winded up and he threw it at the dragon, but with skill.
"[Throw]!" [King]
Let me tell you, the axe was flying. it spun like it was a circular blade. getting hit by that axe would definitely deal a large blow, so the dragon just tilted his head enought to dodge the axe.
"Wha? face the axe like a man you damn dragon!" [King]
"Let me try." [White]

White slowly walked forward, and charged up. and by that i mean CHARGED UP, like electricity was flowing in and out his body. he then raised one of his hands.
"[Lightning Strike]." [White]
then a bolt of lightning came out of no where, and struck the dragon. the dragon, was a bit fazed by it.
"Damn! that looks like that'll hurt a lot!" [Henry]
"Damn humans! Would you just leave me be!" [Dragon]
the dragon said with a roar, and everyone was looking at him with anger.
"No one here will follow your orders, damn dragon!" [Farah]
"Then i shall kill you all! so i may idle in peace!" [Dragon]
And what your probably expecting is a huge battle with detailed parts of will power and never giving up, but no. let's just skip at the end. the author is too lazy to do any of that sh*t. and you probably don't want that either.
the battle was long and difficult, but humans prevailed once more.
"Finally, it's over- wait, what did you even do!?" [Farah]
As Farah pointed at me, their was a blob of meat attached to me. yes, i am once again fat. but not the fat like i used to be, i mean i wasn't that fat, right? but i am both relieved and disappointed. disappointed for me getting fat just from a few buckets of chicken. and relieved that my best friend was finally back. oh, how i missed him. i won't ever let him leave ever again.
"I didn't get in anyone's way." [Henry]
"But you eventually would." [Farah]
"But i didn't." [Henry]
"...." [Farah]
There was debris everywhere, the capital was in ruins, even more so than Fenrig.
"How many people died because of our battle?" [King]

"Probably in the hundreds." [Farah]
"Damn that demon king! i promise you, we will kill you." [King]
This was sad. Low key, but i feel guilty. i could've ended the fight right there, but i decided not to. i could reset the capital to a different time period so that everything would be peachy, but everyone's just gonna be "What the fu*k are you!?" or "Are you a Fu*king God!?" and it's too annoying to deal with. i don't want to be a narcissist. i guess the best course of action right now is to kill the demon king. not right now but, in like a few months.
As i left the City, i saw Christine on the road, and was talking to some people.
"Hey, Christine." [Henry]
"Oh, hey." [Christine]
She looks like she doesn't want to be near me right now. what's wrong with her?
"What's wrong?" [Henry]
"It's you." [Christine]
"Me?" [Henry]
"You had the power to stop the fight, to stop everything, but you just ate and watched." [Christine]
"...." [Henry]
"People died you know. a lot of them-" [Christine]
"Shut up. you don't think i know that? think of the aftermath here, i could've saved the Capital and be a hero, but then all their responsibilities would be mine now. they would depend on me." [Henry]
"That doesn't change the fa-" [Christine]
"Then i'll just f*cking revive them, will that make you happy?" [Henry]
as i said that, she nodded.
I was ticked off. i don't want a lot of attention, people coming up to me, and looking the stars in their eyes is great and all, but the higher you go up, the easier for you to fall down. if you make one mistake, people would start ridiculing you, say if your the hero, why couldn't you do this? i don't want that.
As a started the formation i selected all the recent deaths that happened in the capital. i activated the formation and all the people who died were all lying on the floor.
"What happened?" [Citizen 1]
"I could've sworn i died." [Citizen 2]
Then panic struck.
"THERE IS NO HEAVEN!! THERE IS ONLY DARKNESS!! FOREVER TRAPPED IN AN ABYSS!! " [Panicked Citizen]
As one person yelled that, everyone's faces became pale, they remember what happened after death. they all started panicking.
Is that true? is everything jus-'That's not true, they were just waiting in line.' -t WHAT!? DAFUQ!?'You don't remember me?' What!? again!? wh- oh, your him. GOD. i forgot.
"See?" [Henry]
As i said that line, Christine's face was pale, she fell in despair.
"I-i did this, i made you revive them, i'm...." [Christine]
OKAY. this is getting out of hand.
"[Knock out]." [Henry]
As i used the skill, everyone fell down. damn, i either kill all of them, or erase they're memories. what the F*ck do i do now.
