3 The Strongest Man

Luna rushes up the stairs, The corridors were long yet empty. Fear started to emerge and start to take over Luna's mind, It started to give in to any bad thoughts coming her way. She hesitantly ran inside almost crashing into the door, She looked to see a man. This man tied to a chair and seemed to have bumps filling his face, He seemed to have stuffed himself with food one might think. But in this world food was rare, putting the most dangerous people on one planet it's every man for themselves. There were beasts on this planet, they were the primary source of food almost going extinct at one point due to the enlarged and alarming amount of killings. Luna has never seen a beast like that though, they were only myths told in fables by her mother. Her mother would tell these stories when she went to sleep and even made a record player just so she could hear these stories while away.

Luna starts to look at this mysterious man to see his bounty, Her eyes widen as her jaws slump to the ground to see "1A".She starts to feel dizzy over the fact of there being the strongest person on the planet tied up and chained in the same roof as her. She looks at the man and starts to search for his belongings. She feels his jacket and even puts her hand in his pockets and to her shock finds a bar of steel with a button. Luna had stories and rumors of the knife being strong and hard as nails to use due to its goliath size. She then presses the button, "SWISH" as the knife stealthy comes out of nowhere causing Luna to drop it and shriek. She then looks at the bar of steel in the ground to notice the knife being small, confused Luna picks up the small knife and starts to compare it to her surroundings. She is astonished to this knife to be smaller than her fingers. Maybe the people sugar-coated the knifes size and intimidation factor due to it looking more like a baby's toy.

The anonymous man woke up to see this young lady fiddle with her weapon, He stood there staring at her questioning his surroundings and the lady's motives. The lady started to walk towards him unknowing of him being awake, she adjusted her brown jacket on her grey tank top and fiddled with the sheath around her back which had no sword to hold. She then looked right at him only to suddenly realize the conscious of the man. Startled she moved back causing her to trip while doing so, she fell flat and then slowly got up.

"Hello," said Luna

"Right back at you," said the man

"Name" Luna responded

"Azul" replied the man

"Luna" replied Luna almost immediately

Azul started to question the motives of such women suddenly appearing.

"Where am I?" question the suspicious Azul as he looked around his surroundings. He noticed blood on the wall probably caused the beatings he took just a minute earlier for what seems like to him. It reminded him of abstract art in museums he saw in Planet Gemini.

"Could you help a broken man?" asked Azul

"And...why would I?" questioned back Luna

"I will show you how to leave this planet" replied Azul

"Am I supposed to take your word as credit for your achievements?" replied Luna

"Your choice" Azul replied confidently knowing Luna will have to agree

Luna did not have much choice, she needed to leave this place to please her dad and more importantly meet her long lost mother. She needed to learn to fight and become the strongest, there are two ways to increase one's bounty: kill monsters or humans. Luna unable to do both needed to seek help and right here this man is showing hand waiting to help her. She picked up his weapon and cut the ropes that were mounting him on the chair but he had his hands tied with metal shackles. Luna at first tried to tear it apart but after 2 minutes of struggling had a plan.

Azul saw Luna show one finger signaling something and then ran downstairs, Azul at that moment started looking for ways to escape as he was searching he had started to hear footsteps shuffle in the corner. He went sat in the chair and started to awkwardly try to tie the ropes around him only to give up and put it on his lap. He then sat and waited to see luna come with her sword, Azul and Luna both awkwardly stared at each other with Azul embarrassingly getting up from his chair and walking towards Luna. He then showed his hands and Luna with all her might lifted her sword and "RING" with one swing was able to break the shackle. The sound was echoed throughout the corridors causing people to start to hoard towards the room, both Luna and Azul started hesitantly look for ways to get out and as they freakishly search they found a window in the middle of the room they both missed due to the increasingly tense the situation became as it unfolded. Azul took his bar of steel and banged the window as Luna moved back in fright, Luna started to step on the shards as "Step 1: do not be scared" said Azul in a comical way teasing Luna.

"Let's just go," Luna said annoyed

Azule stepped on top of the ledge and showed his hands to Luna.

"ARE YOU CRAZY!" shouted Luna

"Do you want to escape or not" replied Azul

Luna hesitantly looked at Azul as she then held his arm, Azul then held her hip as they both fell from there. Luna started hugging Azul as she felt the adrenaline kick in her as she knew her death was anytime soon, Azul looked at Luna and then Clicked the button and held on to it. "SWISH" the knife shot out of the bar as it latched on to the roof of the neighboring building, with the click of a button the grapple started to pull Luna and Azul to the top of the building. As they both landed on the edge of the building Luna started to fumble and almost falling down but as that happened Azul still had a grasp on Luna's hip and flung her back to safety as he fell. Luna horrified peeped from the edge of the building only to see Azul get flung back up. Luna then hugs Azul to release the tension in her.

"There there it's fine," Azul says as he pats her back

"Now let me show you how to fight and the ethics of the world," Azul says as he lets go of Luna and goes to the edge of the building.

Jacob walks into a room, Al is in the center of the room expecting his arrival.

"Jacob...Azul is here" says Al.

"What? why did you bring him here? If Luna meets him there will be a big problem" says Jacob worried.

"We caught and locked him up in chains, he can't escape...it is impossible," says Al confidence.

"Besides men are guarding him" he continues.

"CRASH" a sound is heard from afar as feet are heard shuffling.

"Looks like Azul has not met Luna clearly, he will use Luna," says Jacob as he points his finger at Al.

"I will be going," Jacob tells as he arms up with his two daggers

"NO" shouts Al as he holds Jacob's hand

"I will send men after them and besides it could be something else"

"Sir" one of the men shout as he comes out of the corner

"He has escaped," The man tells

Jacob gives Al a stare as he starts to walk away, Al knows what his objective is.

"Look after him," says, Al

"Ok sir, our men will take care of him," says one of the men as he walks away

Al pushes his wheelchair and moves towards the window. He looks at the window and stares at it with tears coming down his eyes. Al starts to wipe away his tears as he then starts to talk hesitantly.

"Why did you leave hell? leaving me with Luna and Jacob" says Al

"She misses you. Luna wishes you to come back or her to go to you. But Luna is innocent and does not want to kill, so now it's impossible for her to even go" he continues

"I hope she sees you and maybe can talk about what feelings that young lady is hiding, I don't share about our tough times..its how I was brought and putting it all on her" He starts to tell as he is crying.

" I already know that this situation will get much worse as it unfolds," he says as he moves away.
