《Warfare Between Lost Hearts》Episode Seventeen: Wager… Who’s The Enemy Now?
Advertisement
After the pledge between Zhackary and Keisha, their bond strengthens as well as Keisha’s feelings for him. The deep wounds on her neck that she produced were cleaned by Shino assisted by Jeffrey and Zhack. Everyone’s hearts raised and were in sync as they tried to lessen the bleeding. But a few moments later, the deep wound healed itself and Keisha’s skin that was pale returned to its healthy color as if nothing bad happened.
“Amazing! The Seditio Syndrome heals not just muscle tissues but also blood cells. This is an amazing discovery”, said Shino and was surprised while removing Keisha’s bandages
“Does that mean that she is… immortal?”, wondered Zhackary; astonished he was.
“Well… theoretically”, Shino replied with his eyes shining with excitement.
Jeffery came barging in the room after checking the place where the wager will take place.“Lets go… They are waiting.”
The dojo, the place where the wager would take place, was full of people ready to watch the match. There was a girl who was ready to fight our protagonist as she stood up with pride and dignity with her martial arts attire on, and a red belt wrapped around her waist, wearing a ponytail. Not a little while, Keisha entered with her usual black signature tank top and a pair of sweatpants.
“Regan?”, Keisha laughed hysterically upon seeing the girl that was challenging her to the throne. “Is there anyone who is willing to fight? Even everyone vs me will do. Anyone?”
“What kind of high horse do you have? Is that what you really ask for?” Regan scoffed with her signature cocky kind of smirk. “Very well then. GIRLS?”
When she called out, three girls stood up from different chairs wearing the same outfit as Regan’s. They stood in a circle with Keisha in the center. The boys seemed to be paying a lot of attention to what they call a cat fight. Needless to say, they knew that the young woman in the middle is a black panther on the inside.
“This is a very amusing phenomenon in my entire life. Is this all you have Regan? I mean, you might need roughly a hundred more if you want to bring me down.” Keisha smirked while she looked for their weak spots.

“Nahh… these girls are more than enough to break your perfect teeth.” Regan replied and soon, they began to execute their move.
Regan dashed and gave Keisha a quick punch on her left front cheek near to her mouth. Keisha didn’t even flinch from the impact that the punch did. Her eye colour changed to orange partially controlling the great power she now possesses. The woman didn’t seem to notice it because she was caught up with the fact that it was the hardest punch she could give yet it didn’t even make Keisha’s cheeks swollen. Nevertheless, Keisha grabbed Regan’s wrists and pulled her to throw the girl on her back. They fell together and that indicated for the other two to attack.
They both launched butterfly kicks though Keisha completely dodged all the attacks. While in mid-air, Keisha grabbed the hairs of the two and pulled it down to slam them on the soft cushion beneath them. Regan after regaining posture, immediately went for a sidekick and a round house, yet both were blocked by Keisha’s sharp eyes and flexible arms, as well as the strength of a man’s shield forged with vibranium.
Though Keisha seemed to have the upper hand, the two on the ground immediately pulled both of her legs down, making her unable to balance and fell on the ground. The first girl that attacked immediately ran and did a body slam on Keisha. Regan took the advantage to give Keisha a hard kick on her face but luckily, she blocked it with her arms.
Regan stomped on Keisha while she couldn’t move properly with three girls that were restraining her arms and legs. Her eyes were transitioning to a more reddish colour. On the other hand, Zhack who was watching sensed the upcoming rage mode. He closed his eyes and meditated so that he could calm down not just himself but Keisha as well. He repeatedly spoke the word “control” while he focused on his deep breathing.
“Girls, I am getting tired already because of you ganging up on me. And the sun is already setting, I need a little beauty rest.” Keisha felt this self-therapy and realized that she was starting to lose control. “Welp.”

Keisha pulled herself together and stood up like normal, appearing like she wasn’t even experiencing a hint of struggle. On the other hand, the three girls she fought with were clinging onto her shoulders like koalas. She then swinged her left arm making the girl fly a safe distance. She then pulled the one on her right arm and threw her to the crowd. The boys luckily caught her.
When the girl regained a little bit of her consciousness, she found out that she was caught by some cute boys. “H-Hey boys.”
Then Keisha threw the other on her legs to the guy who was distributing his popcorn to the audience. The poor guy was knocked out with his popcorn but he was happy because a hot girl literally fell towards him.
“Now it’s your turn.” Keisha said as she turned her look towards Regan.
“Whose t-turn?” Regan replied nervously.
Keisha grabbed her on her hair and dragged her to the exit.
“O-ow… easy! If you are planning to throw me somewhere, please throw me to the hot boys.” Regan pleaded while she was being dragged to the door.
“Nope, I will throw you somewhere you belong.” Keisha said she already knew where to throw the drag queen.
Keisha dragged her across the fields and the audiences as well as Zhack followed her. She approached the Cipher’s garbage mountain where it smelled of rotten meat and discarded burned plastic. She threw Regan to the pile of trash. The strong impact made her penetrate to the innermost of the piled garbage.
Every boy in the group said that are watching the scene, said in chorus “DAAAAAAMNN!”
“She would smell like a rotten egg as she really was” Zhackary said and took everyone’s attention to him. “If you people still have doubts about me making Keisha to be my assistant, watching everything should’ve made you realize what I saw in her that I didn’t see in you guys. Now that the show is over, you guys are dismissed.”
Everyone said in chorus “YES SIR!”
Everyone left with smiles on their faces and giggling to this wonderful entertainment. Keisha then approached Zhack and patted his shoulders. Zhackary noticed Keisha’s heavy sweats so he grabbed his towel that he reserved for Keisha. He immediately wiped her sweat.
“I am so proud of you, even though you almost lost it earlier.” Said while he gently wiped her face.
“Actually, I should thank you. I felt that self-meditation you did earlier to calm me down. If it were not because of you, they might be bleeding right now.” Keisha replied when Zhackary finishes.
Keisha flashes a very sweet smile on Zhack. Zhack’s heart raised with this sight. Keisha then startled about this emotion she felt. Their feelings are now connected to each other. Thus, they felt how the other felt. Suddenly, Keisha’s eyes turned into a different colour.
“Woah… your eye colour is changing.” Zhackary was astonished by this phenomenon.
“What colour? I mean… I don’t even feel that I am in rage right now.” Asked Keisha and had no clue.
“It's yellow, a really bright yellow.” Said Zhack softly.
“OH Seriously?!” Keisha on the other hand raised her voice and was startled.
“YEAH look.” Zhackary handed his phone and turned on the camera for Keisha to see the weird colour.
“What does it mean?” Keisha asked when she saw the colour on the screen.
“I don’t know… Let’s ask Rhianna about it some other time. But for now, let's go back to our rooms and have some rest.” Advised Zhack and started walking.
“Okay then…”
They walk together as the sun sets and the crimson sky covers their world. Keisha had been deciding if she should cling on Zhackary’s arm. She decided not to and continued to walk with him, talking about the blast she had during the wager.

Unfettered Spear
[Ratata~] Being showered with bullets from all directions, I certainly don't feel so good. Especially, feeling the bullets passing through my body, which is simply torture. After God knows how long, the gunfire finally stopped. I had my head down, contemplating that this was the end. However, it was at this time that I heard someone jumping off the car in front. I looked up and saw that it was the "Boss." "I should've done this much sooner, you really done a number on my men despite being alone!" "I must admit that you are good, but too good that you're a threat to MY throne!!" "I–" Alas, the Boss' monologue was cut halfway through. When he held his head high, an action to signify his pride, a bullet pierced through his under chin into his brain and out the back of his head. He looked at me in disbelief, like the others around. None of them anticipated that I could still fire my pistol, much less accurately aiming at one's head at the hip level, after being turned into a bloody meat-sieve. "You... Monster!!!" To the Boss' dying words, I only replied with a smile as my strength left my body.
