Golden Age 11: ‘Kings of Endless Calamity! Shines Forth Your Stage! A Refuge alongside Predators within the Deadly Mountains?!!’ (Part 1)

"OH MY GOD!!!" Feng screamed running as fast as he could. The others practically shocked themselves sprinted dumbstruck.

"But! How in the world did you trigger a bear out of everything?!" asked Xavier baffled. Cassiel remembering sighed while Ezekiel rolled his eyes remembering.

"Don't ask…" Heber uttered with his expression blackened.

"What do you mean by don't ask hun?!" Kenzo asked vexed. "There is seriously, a six feet tall black bear chasing behind our backs, ready to stomach us all any moment from now on yet here you are saying not to ask?!" he continued running endlessly.

"Who knows what happened?! We were just looking around. Who knew a bear would come right before our eyes out of nowhere?" told Adam.

Helios hearing his peculiar explanation rolled his eyes, "As if I'll believe that…"

Suddenly the bear bellowed loudly. His sight clearly visible, he approached, madly focused on the fourteen of them. Gabriel looking behind along with Azazel and Cassiel ran oblivious. "Tch! Just forget about what happened. At this rate it might catch up to us. Just think about what to do now!" said Gabriel.

Poseidon turning around glanced at the bear, "Judging from the looks he turns out to be a black bear. On which lying dead doesn't work at all. If you did then you're as good as dead yourself…" Instantly Ryan interrupted, "Then quit telling us what not to do and find a way out!"

Cassiel eyeing his journal continued, "Black bears are famous for their intelligence and just like Poseidon said cannot be fooled by lying dead. The only way to tackle them is to fight them head on." "Are you kidding me?! We have to fight that thing head on?! He is twice the trouble than those black suited men we faced a while ago?" shrieked Ezekiel as Feng nodded haphazardly.

"Of course, it isn't a human that's why." added Helios.

"Forget it, if we don't have another way else than fighting it out. Tell us what to do?" Seraph asked panting. Kenzo eyeing him twitched his brow, "Brat, you seriously have to tell me what literally happened once we're done with it!" Xavier tracing the bear smiled sarcastically, "Yeah! Once were done with it in the first place…" "Don't tell me you're losing hope so early, Vice-captain?!" Feng uttered shocked. "

Wait a minute, let me think first." Poseidon whispered thinking hard alongside Cassiel and Xavier. "Black bears can climb trees and are quite ferocious when angered to the point that they can even take away lives. Since they have an unbeatable stamina the ones who would deplete their energy first would be us. Creating the greatest disadvantage of all… so what to do now? How to fight it back?" they thought hard.

Suddenly, the bear increasing his speed plunged forward, flinging his hairy, clawed arm towards the boys who ran behind. "Watch out!!" warned Cassiel as Ezekiel and Adam jumped up screaming.

"Wah!!! It's here! It's here! Sera, Sera! We are doomed!!" Adam shrieked rushing as quickly as a fox while Ezekiel was pulled by Helios, his eyes rolling blank.

Azazel looking ahead gulped running ahead. "Captain! I really don't want to die yet!!" he pleaded crying. "Growl!! The bear growled once again. "To the right everyone!" pointed Cassiel as the others eyeing him from the corner of his eye turned right. "Now what?" Kenzo asked bewildered.

"Hurry up! Here it comes!" pointed Feng sprinting. Suddenly Seraph called out stopping in between, "Stop! Everyone!" "Now what?!" Poseidon and Gabriel uttered together. "A dead end…" gulped Adam alongside Seraph as the others too stared at the path which was enclosed with twines and enshrouding large trees.

Kenzo clicking his tongue turned around to find the bear approaching steadily. As large as a mythical troll, he made his way towards them. "Shall we act as corpses for once?" Azazel gulped, his back squeezed against the tree. "It's no use, black bears are quiet intelligent to know if were acting or not. I don't think you are eager to get squished beneath his feet?" Cassiel replied ironically.

"Then what?! Wasn't it your fault in the first place when you said to turn right?!" asked Heber puzzled. "It was just a prediction it cannot be 100% correct. Moreover, who in the world would've know that it would be a dead end? Did you think I toured here often?" Cassiel asked back in disbelief. "How about the trees then?" Ryan asked grasping Xavier's sleeve as Feng stood before the two of them. "No use as well. Black bears are masters at climbing trees." Xavier informed, thankfully shattering all the remaining hope as well.

"Then what…?" Ezekiel shuddered. Gabriel who was finally annoyed by the bear's sight stared at him grave. "Looks like he didn't give me a damn choice hun…" he whispered, "Then so be it!" he growled bowling his cock ball harshly towards the bear's face. "Slam!" it went hitting right on his forehead.

The boys eyeing Gabriel and the bear stood as white as paper, their mouths a gape. "Darn…" muttered Feng hopeless.

Gabriel once again taking another ball out from his pocket shoved a fine delivery towards his feet next as it moved back. Helios eyeing the movement took out his bat, throwing the ball into midair, he too slammed the ball next aiming for the bear's feet. The bear slightly surprised moved back growling. Poseidon instantly realizing called out, "Every one! Try to make as loud voices as possible! Loud noises are hated by bears, he would turn away once he gets annoyed." The boys looking at each other nodded.

Suddenly Heber interrupted asking, "Hey, hey, hey! Just hold on your horses everyone! Scream all loud?! What if just to send a bear away attract lions and jaguars instead?!"

Adam hearing his words beamed all of a sudden, "Lions!? Jaguars!! Are you sure they are here Heber, Heber?! I want to meet them! They are my best friends! My family!" he cheered out of the blue.

Seraph and Heber smacked their foreheads in disbelief. "Someone just lock his mouth up already, his family hun…" Ezekiel said irritated while Seraph sighed. Kenzo picking his queen up smacked it on the nearby tree as coconuts fell from above. "Whoa…!" Ryan dodged glaring at him grave, "What the hell? Do you want to die?" Kenzo looking back smirked, "Haha! As if brat! You were the one about to die in the first place."

Ryan clicked his tongue annoyed as he stared at the coconut hitting his feet. Picking it up, Azazel and Feng stared at him form the side. "What are you thinking?" they asked together certainly sure it wouldn't be anything good. A sudden smirk leaving his face Ryan tossed the coconut up.

Taking his bat out, he slammed it towards the bear as it hit bursting open startling him. Poseidon eyeing the sight gleamed as Xavier clapped his hands proudly. Adam amused by the sight climbed the tree, pulling out some coconuts he too fired them over the bear from the top as well. "Haha! Take this! And that! And All of this back!!" he cheered happily.

The boys swirling round and round, running left right doing nothing but showing the sight of pure childishness. Some throwing balls and the others firing coconuts, someone shrieking, some creaking. (And god knows what more or not) A grand sight of ruckus roofed the middle of the jungle. Even the animals passing by eyed their sight sighing.

The black bear too, finally giving up turned around and rushed back from where it came. The boys finally tired yet, victorious sat on the ground taking deep breaths.

"We seriously… did it." Kenzo said in shaking his head as Helios and Feng agreed. "Oh god, I am dead meat…" Ezekiel whispered panting.
