A Battle So Fierce

When Jun opened the door on impulse he announced his arrival with a shout only to get silence as a response.

Shrugging his shoulders he headed straight to his room, Setup the gaming set up which was rather easy and straightforward despite how dangerous it is if something went wrong.

"I hope my brain doesn't fry" Jun mumbled to himself, Before getting up to take a shower, A cold one at that since it's healthier...

Freshened up, Jun stared at the headgear plugged into the wall socket, Laying on the bed, Jun fell asleep.....

You seriously can't expect him to have the mental capacity to play a game after a near death experience can you? It's already impressive he was able to purchase the Game and headgear, Plus the trauma he might've acquired...

Waking up, Jun noticed it was already dark out. "So much for my schedule" Jun mumbled before hearing a growl that got rid of all his drowsiness, Looking around his room in vigilance, ready to pounce at the door in a heartbeat, *GROWL* He heard it again, This time he was sure he heard it under his bed, Taking a brave peek he saw nothing, before hearing it again, This time however he finally knew where it came from, "I'm just hungry... I feel stupid". Jun grumbled in relief when he knew no one saw his embarrassing actions. Or so he thought

Heading downstairs Jun was greeted by the sight of two women, One young while One was older, " Yo" Jun called out to announce his presence, which slightly surprised the two.

"You were in your room the whole time? Mom and I thought you were out or something" Peeked a beauty slightly younger than Jun from the behind the couch.

"Mom you're cooking!!?" Jun exclaimed when he saw his mother holding a knife. You could see the Panic in Jun's eyes when he noticed his Mom preparing dinner.

"Hmmm, Quiet down Jun, It's only dinner" Jun's Mom reprimanded him but that didn't seem to cease Jun's growing despair, rather it heightened it to levels unknown to man.

Taking a deep breath Jun decided to bite the bullet to save himself, "Let me do it.. I'll prepare dinner for us" Jun said with a solemn expression that would make anyone looking at him right now think that he has tasked himself with something so important he won't hesitate to die for it.

Not taking a glance at her son's expression Jane or most commonly known as mom considers his words.

Seeing hope, Jun was ecstatic, 'if all goes alright I'll be able to enjoy my food tonight' Jun thought with no less joy as a mother holding her newborn. Just as Jane was about to agree, A voice came in and like a Judge in court, With words so absolute you can only wallow in despair when they give you the death penalty. At least that was how Jun heard his sister's words.

"Your food sucks, Let Mom cook!" Hearing those words, Jun knew his life was forfeit, All color in Jun's life began to fade until it was only black and white.,

However Jun was not one to accept defeat so easily, Jun forcefully called back the colors as his eyes burned with a passion, A passion to survive to endure and to Win!

"I learned a new recipe I wanna try making it" Jun exclaimed with gritted teeth and a dark somber expression, 'To survive I'll do what I can't.' Jun exclaimed to himself as he regained some of his confidence, Enough to last out this battle to the death. Or so he thought

"But mom, I wanted chicken adobo tonight" Jun thought he won when he heard the defeated tone of his sister, Sighing in consolation he cried out 'VICTORY!!' inside his mind. But when he saw the expression his sister was making, His complexion turned as white as baby powder.

'Sh-She's using the kicked puppy eyes technique!!' Jun thought while he looked like he had just seen his own ghost waving goodbye at him.

Casting His eyes at his mother, Jun's expression became as dark as space can be, You'd even suspect him to be no longer human, With how his face became as pale as baby powder to as dark as the night sky, You'd think he was a lizardman.

Just when Jun thought all hope was lost, Just when Jane was about to agree, Came either Jun's Salvation or His Killer.

------ With James Jay ------

Coming home from a hard days work is always a great feeling, Especially so when you just got promoted, Well that's exactly what happened with me today, Not only was my hard work recognized, I even got a promotion.

Of course you'd wanna tell your family the good news if you were me, I mean it's something to be proud about, Make your children feel awe for you when you tell them about your efforts, And maybe even a reward from a loving wife.

"I can't wait to see their faces when I tell them the news Hahahaha, I wonder how my darling Jane would think ehe" James mused with a proud and ecstatic expression before it slowly morphed into a perverted and shit eating grin that would make you wanna punch his face.

'Opps I'm here hehe' Opening the door, James felt a sudden chill... Suddenly his whole demeanor changed, much like a war veteran ready to face his hardest fight.

*Creak*

----- Back to Jun -----

*Creak* The sound of the door opening called in all our attention, With a snap of our heads we all locked on at the door with firm gazes, Seeing who it was Jun felt like he saw a ray of sunlight when he's been stuck in a cave searching for an exit for days.

I lock eyes with my father, And with how he locked eyes with mine, I knew he understood how grave the situation was, My survival all depended on him...

It was like telepathy, I showed him the current predicament and his gaze hardened, As if he already made a decision. 'Wait, It's too early in the battle for him to make a decision' Jun thought with brows furrowed before he widened his eyes in realization.

Jun locked eyes with his father once again as if to ask for confirmation, But when Jun saw the apologetic look in his father's face his heart sank. Then it came the dreaded words...

"Honey! What's for dinner?!"

*Bang* Jun felt like he was shot in the back, His own father... The only one who understood his predicament in this whole household, Would rather endure this pain rather than avoid it completely, Only one word surfaced in Jun's mind when he thought about his father.... Simp

-------------------------

The Jay family was having dinner together, Both ladies had jovial expressions on their faces eating with grace and elegance. However the two males contradict those two females completely, Rather than being happy with how good the food was, Both were crying while devouring the food with gusto.

Then Jun heard it again, That Lion like Growling, Even tho Jun knew what made that terrifying sound, He also knew that it was growling for a different reason now. Food so good that the male body rejects it completely, That's what happens when Jane cooks...

Without any word, Jun stood up and in an awkward way, Sprinted towards the toilet. His father James just looks at his awkward figure with eyes that seem to shout out "GOODLUCK COMRADE!!" For James knew that his son will fight a great battle, And he will surely follow suit *Growl*....Maybe even sooner than he thought
