《Being Badass》Chapter 15

"What!" Dustin shouted. "You're lying he couldn't have. That was 11 years ago! He seriously can't expect-"
I was getting tired of him repeating what I already knew so I interrupted him. "But he does D. Now we need to figure out what to do."
He puts his face in his hands and takes a deep breath before continuing.
"You have your own, way more powerful gang and so does Cayde. We can even involve Emrald and-" he begins.
"Dustin. I dont want to start this off violently. I wanna try talking this out first then do that if I have to." I say authorotatively.
"How about you just go in there and talk and we'll decide what to do from there." Xavier says.
Dustin looks up and nods. We all seemed to be on the same page so I stand up, ready to leave.
"Wear brown contacts." Dustin says. O give him a confused look, and he begins to explain. "He thinks you have brown eyes. He thinks we all have brown eyes. Idiot never looked very close." He said. I simply nodded.
"I got a fight tonight. Wanna come see Agate in action?" I tease. D simply shrugs and follows me out the door.
:::::::::::::::
We were at the ring, Cayde, Jay, and D were all talking as I was stretching out getting ready for my match. When I was done stretching Cayde pulled me over and told me about my opponent.
"This guy came from Northern California just to fight you Dyl. He's serious. He calls himself Destruction." He says in a low whisper. I simply nod and look at him.
"I'm serious too Cayde, I got this." I said.
"Are you still angry?" He asks as I dig through my bag for my mask.
I give him a sly grin as I fasten my mask to my face.
He sighs and says one last thing before the group walks out of the locker room "Don't kill him Dyl." I giggle in response as I skip next to D.

We walk out into the main room and the person I see in the arena arena makes me stop in my tracks, and D stops with me.
"What is it?" He whispers.
"It's Damien." I say, fear lacing my voice.
"Oh I'm gonna kill a mother-" Jay begins and walks towards him, but Cayde grabs her before she can get far.
"Trust me, Dyls gonna." He says in an almost matter-of-fact voice.
I smirk, my mask hides it but I know they can see it in my eyes. "Oh. Its gonna be hell for him." I say before running onto the mat.
The announcer does his thing as we each circle the other around the mat. I'm wearing a constant smirk, which he can't see, and he's wearing a serious face that I'm tempted to laugh at.
I hear the word "Fight!" and I'm tempted to lunge at him, but I let him make the first move. I watch him shift his feet as he's preparing to 'sweep me off my feet' and not in the good way. As he swings his foot around I jump up and land on his leg, causing him to scream in pain.
Once again a smirk appears on my face that he can't see. He looks up into my eyes from his place on the gorund and says " You bitch!" which just causes me to laugh
He hobbles up and throws a weak punch, which I grab before throwing a hard one to his temple.
"And he's out." I hear Cayde mutter from behind me, but I can tell he's smiling. He was, in fact, out cold. I called a medic for his leg, which I'm pretty sure was broken.
I walk to get my winnings and skip out the door to my jeep. Everyone hops in cause we're having a sleepover at my house tonight.
We drive a ways down the road before unhooking my mask.
"Damn was that fun!" I shouted. Everyine laughed in return. "I mean, I snapped one of his limbs and put him in his place! I couldn't have asked for much better!"

I was clearly happy. Beating his ass and all. If only he knew it was me.
I'm going to his gang house tomorrow. Xav and D were going to tell the rest of the group after I left and I gave them a code to see where I am (mom and dad put a chip in me when I was little. I have since changed the code).
Not going to lie, I was kind of nervous. I had no idea what that sociopath he was now, but I couldn't do anything about it.
:::::::::::
I woke up early the next morning and got ready. I decided to wear a decent outfit and I got on the road, he did live across the state.
It was a long road trip with just me and no radio since I decided to take my Harley, big mistake. But I eventually made it. When I pulled up at the gate I told the keeper my name and he smirked. Good lord this is gonna be fun.
I pulled up and I already had some lovely escorts waiting for me. The boys, note I say boys, I had met before sitting on their asses. When I take my helmet off they all jump up.
"What's up sissys." I say with a hint of playfulness in my voice.
"We're not-" one says, I cant remember his name, he's cut off when he sees me raise my eyebrows in amusement.
'Mmhmm' I hum before skipping up to them. "Let's go then." I say while shoving them towards the door.
They walk me up to what I assume to be Damien's office and knock. They boy hadn't even finish knocking before there is yelling from inside.
"I swear to christ you motherfuckers this better be something goddamn-" The source of the yelling opens the door and thankfully shuts up, but not for long. "Who the hell is this?" Damien asks.
"Pleasure to see you again too Damien." I say, faking a sweet voice. He has a carmel man bun with an undershave and his round brown eyes are looking heartless as ever.
"Seriously, who is this." He asks the guys around me while pointing a finger at me.
"Welp you clearly don't remember so I'll be leaving now." I say while turning around and beginning to walk away, but sadly he grabs my arm and pulls me into him.
"Oh, I remember now my little gattina. How are you." He asks while pulling me into his office and closing the doors.
"I am not your gattina. You couldn't even remember me." I spit while freeing myself from his grasp. Then I decide to fake gasp and win an oscar.
"What did you do to your leg?" I ask acting concerned. Not just for the sake of it, but to see if he'd be honest with me.
"Let me see your eyes." He said coldly yanking my chin up so he could see. He then clicks his tongue and shoves me into a chair.
"You know what business I am in. It was an illegal fight. Some guy thought it'd be funny to snap my leg. But he's got another thing coming." He says.
Yup, sociopath.
"Anyways, you know why you're here gattina." He says. God I hate being called that.
"Yes. But that was when I was 6 you cant expect me to-" I begin, but I'm rudely interrupted.
"But I do Dylan." I says. I swear his words were ice.
"I can't Damien. You have to understand." I say, still keeping the innocent act up.
"No Dylan you were mine the day you promised. I dont care how old you were." He says while raising his voice. I can tell he's about to start yelling when the door bursts open.
"Boss. It's Mateo Winters. He's gonna have hell."

The City of the Dragon Twisted
. 🐉 . The City of The Forever-Peace witnesses a pale young Buddhist Monk fighting his fearful thoughts of whether to cross the borders to Nepal and India against the death penalty. Why would that matter? In that September Autumn night of circa A.D.655, Emperor Táme’ Tie’-Zeon has been ruling an empire spanning 13,000 miles from the East to as far as the Baikal Sea in the Western Regions bordering the Middle East kingdom and the Rome Empire. Meanwhile, news has traveled that his Dharma-Son, Pan G. Monk faces an incredible Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves. The Empress Wǔl Zénder-Tan’ couldn't be careless. Why would that matter to the imperial family? Monks are just officials with equal vicarious duties and privileges. She would then spare her resourceful energy to maintain the fruitful relationship intertwining The Grand-Khan Jurchen-Warlords Clans in the North-East Desert in attempts to affirm her fate as the first and only female-Emperor, in the Medieval Ages of the Great City of the Dragon. Whereas The Abbot Master Xend'-Zeon of the Jade-Lotus Temple faces factions of religious politics. Particularly in the present, the Empress needed to manipulate the Master’s reputation to desperately seek life and/or the after-life merits. She decreed to be addressed as The Old Buddha Grand Father. The Master has had ideals of service to sentient beings since he was young. He could have traveled the Silk Road to the Far West entrance-point bypassing the five beacons as shortcuts save that he lacks the pertinent travel documents. Instead, he chose to cross the 800-mile овь-Gobi Desert that is as vast as the Baikal Sea, on foot. A route that is impossible in the history of the Buddha dharma. His heart never withers to support the mage of the red lotus that promises the Enlightenment of the Buddha-Land. Except that no one has ever endured the latitude of the heat. The pain. Alive, out of the desert sea. But he is also vulnerable to recognize the un-staticity of The Truth, The Truth itself, and the truth of seeking passion and mission for compassion in humankind. The mind and body reciting The Sūtra and The Heart, A phenomenon they knew better as if souls in chemical layers of their physique. Realizing enhanced mind training attaining controlling powers of life and death. Realizing the transformation of the unbearable pains and grievances he thought possible. . 2 . 🐉 . Meanwhile, dreams have been watching him to open The Third Eye, at The City's Amethyst-Jade Palace of the Second Emperor, Third Emperor, and Fourth Empress. Old Monks at The Nālandā Temple at the Far West Buddha Land; Householders Masters and Kings of the Jeek’-Foot Mountains of The City of the Naga-Dragon Twisted; in the Far West of The City of the Ever-Peace witness adventures of The Master. Lives at brinks of suicidal choices slaughtering ordeals. Who have inadvertently neglected the Master's karmic inflictions that would paradoxically affirm in a point of Near-Death Experiences; The Two-Profound-Reflective presented upon attaining The Deep-Active-Meditatitive Flow of Equanimity Samādhi. Eventually, The Seer Consciousness sees the Active Heart that is replete with The Latent Unconditional Love, Compassion And Empathy; that had been so close to us that we could not see it; as if one cannot see her own face. . 3 . 🐉 . Meanwhile also, the Imperial Criminal Affairs Clerk Ewen Hawk-Jean suffers too much seeking possession of desires and relief from a certain situation. Pan G., the Assistant Dharma-Translator to the Abbott Master Xend'-zeon has voluntarily or otherwise fallen into the supposed conspiracy or plain indifference. The imperial family's agenda of the Imperial Family of The Fang’-Chucks of course longs for a waist cut in halves not simply as souvenirs. Awaiting the Abbot Master is to come out from the disturbance. Incredibly transformative factors of the Mind-Transcendence-Samadhi are profoundly desired to spare the Monk Pan G. from the Post-Autumn Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves...... …But why would it matter to You?

Psychotic Death Online
(Side Project for now)In a futuristic alternate reality, the creators of nanotech team up with the VR capsule company to create a capsule where one could stay it in for a year at a time before having to leave. These capsules could be use for rehab and even reconstruction! Eventually, Buzzard, the largest gaming company in the world, created a new VRMMO with 99% realism pending the new capsules, of course the rate dropped to 97% with normal capsules and 90% with the old fashioned visor systems. Unfortunately, the new capsules cost $100,000 and not many people can afford them, either way the new game World of Destiny was a hit with over 110 million subscriptions!Meet our tragic MC Feng Jun, an injured psychopath that simply wants to get his next kill. He has no MO, he doesn't even care if what he kills is an insect let alone a person. He just has to kill every once in awhile to scratch his itch. Up til an injury that left him without a leg, he was able to make do simply killing insects as no one cared and he didn't even have to visit any doctors about it. People just thought he hated bugs! But after his injury he has been suck at his home not being able to do anything! Fortunately he is rich and spends most of his time playing MMOs since normal VRMMOs don't work well with his injury as the realism setting always keeps him with only one leg! But what will he do with a new opportunity to rebuild his leg with nanotech? Knowing he has to spend a year in the game minimum for something like this, he sets a goal to insure he doesn't go crazy (er) without having stuff to kill.This is a VRMMO story where the game is closer to zhan long than royal road with a few twists here and there. The world outside of the game is sci fi and has very little impact at least for the first year due to obvious reasons. No gore or explicit sex in this story, if cursing requires a mature tag I will add it later, this story is at best PG-13. Tragedy is for his circumstances and previous life, the game itself isn't tragic at all as it's just a game more or less.(This story will be put out alongside my main story whenever I feel like it for now, no set schedule at this time)

Magikind [Original]
The third millennia, a time of change and evolution. An era, where people, through countless generations, have evolved strange powers and abilities. Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some refused to change or adapt. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin, will herald a new era for all Magikind. A story of how man could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. Disclaimer: Chapters will be edited once the first volume is done. Bear the beginning for the time being, and hopefully you can see my writing improving over time (I've learnt a lot on how to write because of this (though I'm still not perfect :P)) Proud Member of Writers to the End, WriTE The link to the pledged fictions PS. If you find the 'notes' too boring or too info-dumpy, feel free to skip them and just read the main chapters. They're there for the reader to understand Gin's world (written in the perspective of Gin). But later on, we can see some interactions between the main characters and the occasional references to his past in the notes, so it has its purpose.
