Chapter 2 - Izuzunu

"You know what" Jun says as he stood up.

Mikey stood up along with Jun "What?"

"Izuzunu" Jun spoke out.

"Izuzunu? What's that?" Mikey and George asks.

"Our new country... our new town" Jun smiled looking out the window "I plan on starting a new town for people to protect one another. We will start a military and protect eachother from the Kalkruts and the brutes of this world"

Mikey and George were amazed.

"And I am.. and will be... the first President of Izuzunu"

RISE OF IZUZUNU

VOLUME 1, CHAPTER 2, IZUZUNU

30 minutes later, everyone took a nap except Jun. All he could think about is the village and hoping everyone is fine. "The village" He whispered.

Jun stood up "It's fine.. I will start this country and protect that village, once I get prepared for-"

The door suddenly gets banged opened by a boy. He falls to the ground onto the door. He panicked and crawls to the corner.

"Who the hell are you!?" Jun yelled at the boy.

George and Mikey woke up and saw the boy. The boy is frightened "I'm from the village where you were just at" he had normal black hair with brown eyes and looked to be the same age as Jun.

A moment of silence has occurred as Jun breaks it "Is everyone okay there?"

"I don't think so" He looks at the ground and slowly calms down "My name is Kyle Khao" The boy says "Can I stay with you guys for a while?"

"Yes... but we have to get ready" Jun walked to the crafting table.

"Ready for what?" Mikey asked.

Jun replied; grabbing a sword "Ready to save the village"

George, Mikey, and Kyle all looked at each other in fear.

"You don't have to go... but I'm going"

Later that day Kyle told them about the village "I'm not actually from that village. I woke up yesterday and I couldn't remember anything so I explored and saw this village.. and went to it for shelter"

"That's exacally what happened to us too" Mikey exclaimed "We couldn't remember a single thing about our past.. it's like we've just been born"

"That's weird" George thought.

Jun added "Everything about this world is weird"

THE VILLAGE

"This village will burn!" Piller shouted as he swings his sword around. The village's town hall is getting burned down while people around the village are running for their lives; people screaming and dying.

"Lord Piller!" A Kalkrut shouts at the leader of the Doom Brigade.

"What" Piller asks.

The kalkrut gives him a diamond sword he found in one of the houses.

"The diamond sword" He takes it and summons more Kalruts.

"This village shall be destroyed!"

The leader of the village comes out to the front lines.

"It won't be" the Leader says as he pulls his sword out.

The old man spoke "I have the power of the slasher, you can't defeat me"

They both got in a stance. They screamed out and dashes towards each other swinging their first hit "Cling" the swords hit each other as everyone else started fighting. The leader's sword blasts white beams out.

"Piller! Your time ends here" Vonda jumps onto Piller and stabs his shoulders.

"Gah!" He kicks the girl off and falls to the ground.

Piller blasts a huge amount of his shards out of his knuckles as it all cuts Vonda's right arm off "Ah!" She cried out.

"Noo!!" The village leader shouted.

He unleashed more white plasma and attacks Piller. Piller dodges the beams and runs after the leader.

"You'll pay!" The leader shouted in anger.

"Your time has end here! Leader!" Piller laughs out loud.

Piller manages to get behind the village leader "This is it"

Piller struck his diamond sword against the leader's chest. The man slowly goes unconscious and falls to the ground.

"I think my pet is hungry" Piller smiled.

He brings in his pet Kalrhino and says "This is your treat for today! Eat up!"

The Kalrhino bites into the leader's head, soon eating up his body whole. Everyone is terrified. Piller picks up the diamond sword with the power of slasher "Let's leave now. Pick up all the money and loot!"

He left some Survivors in the Village.

"Remember! The Doom Brigade will come again! Be ready!" Piller shouted at them while he hops onto his Kalrhino and leaves the town while everyone watches the Doomgaders leave the village with their stuff. Vonda slowly blacks out from blood lost in her arms. She falls onto her pool of blood.

IZUZUNU

Kyle spoke "I don't think my friends survived"

"We need to go back" Jun tells Kyle "We can't just leave them there to die"

Jun isn't so sure if they should go back and help, but he wants to be a good person. He may not know what he was in the past, but that doesn't matter to him at this moment.

"Okay" Kyle replies "Let's get ready then"

Jun tells George to go explore in the caves to find more good materials. George agrees and goes on his own.

Moments later, Jun, Kyle, and Mikey is prepared to leave and save the village. Full iron armor, tools, weapons, and a small backpack.

Jun and the rest were ready "Alright... let's go!"

They began sprinting through the forest Mikey gets a little tired a minute later but kept running.

"We're almost there!" Kyle shouts.

Everyone is out of breath as if they were running a marathon. The sun is still up in the sky "This is good" Jun says "The sun is still up, which means there would be no brutes out-"

They pass by a bush and stop "n- no way.." Jun says in fear. At the distance, they see a tall gray and black figure standing near a tree.

"What is that?" Mikey asked.

It had reptile skin texture with dark blue colored eyes. Then Jun remembers what Vonda has said..

Vonda's explanation "There are plenty more I can't explain yet because you haven't seen them. The deadliest one has gray and black reptile-like skin with blue eyes, it can run super fast"

"Guys!! It has super speed!" Jun shouted.

"What!? What do we do!?" Kyle and Mikey screamed out at the same time.

They then made one mistake. They screamed out loud. The figure widens its mouth and eyes a devilish angry face appears as he began sprinting out of their view. The kaimog is blind but it has super hearing and speed.

"What the-!" Everyone yelled. "Everyone! Stay close!" They form a circle.

Kyle starts panicking and so does Mikey "Where is it!?"

Jun shouted back "How the hell am I supposed to know!?".

They move around the place looking for it. A short second later, the monster jumps onto Kyle and opens its mouth "Aah!!" Kyle screamed as he holds onto the brute's mouth so he doesn't eat him.

Kyle looks at its sharp teeth with blueish looking blood, panicking. Jun stabs the brute in its back as it runs away in pain. The screaming was so loud, they all covered their ears. It ran back to Mikey while Kyle takes his axe and manages to chop its head off.

The brute dies on the floor.

Everyone catches their breath as Kyle asks a question "So... did Vonda tell you how THAT monster got here!!?"

"No."

THE CAVES

George lit his torch up as sparks fall to the grounds.

"Iron, Iron, Iron, where are you" He spoke out loud.

George suddenly hears a sound. Sounds of a zombie "What was that.." He frightenly said. A brute comes into George's vision "Zombies!" He shouted, swinging his sword at it. The growling zombie began sprinting towards George.

George runs through the dark caves with his torch and sword, jumping over obstacles on the grounds.

The zombie still behind him, George quickly turned his entire body back at the zombie and slices its head off.

George was relieved. He fell to the ground and put his head down "That was close"

George looks around the cave to see that he's surrounded by lava.

He walks to it, holding his sword like a baseball bat. George takes little steps and lit up the cave with the torches.

"Rubies?" He says to himself as he grabs a shard and easily breaks it.

He walks by something glowing and looks at it "What is that?"

A shiny light blue rock.

He realizes what it was as he screamed out in joy "Diamonds!"

He found Diamonds down the cave system and mines it with his Pickaxe. "Oh hell yeah! Jun's gonna be happy when he sees this!"

After getting the piece of diamond, he held it in his hands and the diamond shined onto him "Wow"

He looks at the top of the ceiling and notices more of them "No.. way"

There were plenty more, more than he can carry.

Moments later three zombies jumps from a hole in the ceiling as he quickly dodges away from the zombies.

"What the-!" George grabs his iron to protect himself because he left his sword on the other side of the cave.

The zombies roared and run to George as he kicks them all to the lava and falls next to the stone walls of the caves.

As George falls onto the ground, the walls randomly creates a weird red forcefield. The walls disappear as it turns dark red. George is speechless on the floor, looking at the dark red forcefield.

George talked to himself "a.... portal?"

THE VILLAGE

"The village!" Jun shouted out, everyone sprinting faster to the village.

Once they got there, they see dead bodies on the floor and stops in the middle of the Village.

"No" Jun frowned. Some survivors run to Jun and asks for help. "The Leader! He died!" The person cried out.

Jun tried to not make eye contact "I'm.. sorry. I couldn't get here sooner"

The villagers were also feeling the same. The entire village still on fire, but slowly going away. The sun still up, slowly going down.

Later that day, Jun helped them clean up and bury some bodies.

"May you rest in peace" Jun says to Vonda, the girl he met, as he brushes her soft silver light orange hair.

As Mikey walks around, he asks if the villagers would like to come with Jun "Would you guys like to come with us? We've just made a new town and would like some people"

"We would gladly take that offer sir!" a boy says. He looks like a teenager, almost in his 17s, wearing a helmet and gloves, he looks almost like a blacksmith. He has silver light orange hair and purple eyes.

He shakes Mikey's hands "My name is Eungi Saubaudiak"

"Nice to meet you Eungi" Mikey was glad.

Jun appeared around a corner of burning building "Introduce yourselves"

Mikey started first "My name is Mikey Khang"

After the brief introduction, Jun asks what are they.

"What do you mean what are we?" Eungi asks.

"What is your kind?" He fixes his sentence.

"We're Druzuls, isn't that obvious?" Eungi tells Jun.

"Druzuls huh?" Jun says in his head "I don't think this is a world I should be in, it feels like I'm living on another planet"

"Well we're what's called Humans" Jun tells the villagers.

"Humans? That sounds like a made up word" a villager laughed.

"Humans?" an old man says.

"Yeah" Jun answered.

The old man continued "There are humans in this planet.. they live in an island at Point Ocean. I haven't been there in so long though, but all I know is that all the druzels and kalkruts had been kicked from that place for a long while"

"Can you guys take us there?" Jun asked "We need to find other humans"

"No one's allowed in there" another old man said "If you go there, they'll kill you"

"I see... well do you know what this planet's name is at least?" Jun asked.

"This planet is called Kepkury.. and the humans have been here since 1969... Maybe they sent you out here and wiped your memories" the old man answered.

"1969.." Jun thought until he finally says "I know we belong here, but.. we'll find a way to get to the island... But for now, we should head back to Izuzunu now" Jun was feeling worried. He kept wondering why they're on a new planet.

"Wait!" an old Druzul yelled out, his left arm up in the air "I think you're gonna need a bit of an upgrade on that sword of yours"

"What upgrade?" Jun turned to the old man.

"I can give you the power of the First Slasher" the old man says.

"What is that?"

"Let me show you"

A few minutes later the old man is ready to do his spell on Jun's sword. He takes out a glowing blue liquid in a bucket.

The old man grabs Jun's sword and placed it inside a blue liquid in a bucket. A few seconds later the liquid started glowing and getting brighter as the sword starts floating in the air.

"What-" Jun and the rest of the humans were surprised. The blue liquid began getting sucked into the sword. The sword finally takes in all the liquid and drops down to the ground.

"I have spellbinded your sword" the old man exclaimed.

"What?" Jun asked.

Jun grabbed the sword and he can kind of feel the power. The sword is steaming.

The man points his finger to a nearby target practice "Swing it to the target"

It took a short moment for Jun to do it. Jun swings the sword to the target as a sharp wind gushes out of the sword's tip and slices the target in half.

Everyone was all surprised. It wasn't even the reach distance. It was 7 meters away.

"What did you do to my sword?" Jun asked in shock.

The old man explains it to Jun "I spellbinded it, giving it the power to slash anything from a couple meter distance. There are way more spellbinding liquids we could put on your swords, but we would have to find it. We will find more, and make your sword the most powerful sword ever!"

Everyone else was surprised about it. The day's almost ending as the fire in the village dies.

"What..?"
