Arc 7.04

  Φ After a little bit, we all arrive in front of the giant rotating wings. Moving closer, I throw ice through the wings which gets diced up, so I say, “Yeah, definitely no way we're going through this. I guess our only option is to go over it.”

  Moving close to everyone I say, “Suzuka us up.”

  Usiails Suzuka tethers all of us together, then I create an ice pilr under us. “Cyrus it’s your turn now.”

  With his monstrous strength, Cyrus jumps directly over the barrier, so we start falling down oher side.

  As we fall Atanta says, “Orb what’s your pn now?”

  “I am w on it; I didn’t expect Cyrus to jump so high. Suzuka, I need you to use your tails to cushion our fall.”

  “It won’t be enough.”

  “Don’t worry about that, I hahe rest.”

  Following my instrus, Suzuka uses her tails to form a giant ball around us. Then stig my hand out of that ball, I create snow to take care of the rest of the force, right before we crash into the ground.

  Getting up I ask, “Suzuka, Cyrus are you guys ok?”

  “Yes,” they respond.

  “Ok, it seems all the important people are ok.”

  “I heard that!”

  “That’s what I intended.”

  “Orb stop bullying sissy.”

  “I don’t know what you mean,” I say while running away.

  Following after me, they say, “Don’t run away coward.”

  -Break-

  Stopping in my tracks I gaze upoy of Skydust, and the most noticeable thing I see is that everyone has some piece of oversized clothing.

  Hearing Suzuka and Atanta e up behind me, I lung forward to dodge their attacks, but I only see Suzuka. Looking to my side, I see Atanta, in mid-air, I am kicked at full force.

  The force of her kick sends me flying into some workers. “I fot about her stealth mode.”

  Turning around, I help the man I flew into stand up. The momes up he yells, “YOU BASTARD YOU DELAYED ME, NOOINT 9 SEDS BEHIND TIME!”

  He yells so loud that I cm up and say, “I am sorry.”

  Taking a sed to look at us he says, “All you people look strange, is this some new fashion trend, if so I like your clothes. Where did you buy them, I o see who crafted these clothes.”

  Atanta says, “Aren’t you behind schedule?”

  “Oh crap, I am, I don’t have time for this versation. Shit, you bastards have deyed me again, since you are not doing anythi your asses over here, help me.”

  Putting a bunch of the stuff he was carrying into our hands he says, “GET YOUR ASSESS MOVING WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO WASTE!” Then he runs off.

  Overwhelmed by his tempo Cyrus starts following him, so I follow close behind.

  Φ Turning around to look at the workers, I notice the red-headed one has disappeared. Looking around I see her hitting on someone.

  “My god your muscles are truly beautiful.”

  “Sorry I got to work.”

  Running over to her I say, “What the hell are you doing? we are te!”

  Grabbing her I tio run, but then I notice the two little girls are missing so I go look for them. I see they are both pying with a dog.

  So, I run over and grab them. Pg the three on the floor I say, “Didn’t you three want to help me!”

  The three in front of the man were only having ohought; We didn’t agree to this, you just dragged us away.

  “Failures, every one of you, the only person who is petent is the man covered in cloth over there.”

  Rubbing the back of his head, the tall man cover in cloth says, “Following instrus is the only thing I dht in life.”

  The white-haired girl says, “Not a siutter when he said that, he must really be fident in it,” while looking shocked.

  “That’s kind of sad.”

  The girl with yelloink hair says, “Aren’t you still going to be te?”

  Starting to freak out I say, “YOU BASTARDS DELAYED ME YET AGAIN!”

  “You really get worked up easily.”

  “All that stress will shorten your life span.”

  “I teaeditation if you need help calming down.”

  “DON’T MAKE FUN OF ME YOU BASTARDS. Now I need all of you to get your asses in gear and help me finish my work.”

  “Don’t really want to.”

  “You have no manners; you could at least say please.”

  “And to be ho, when we ran into each other you also weren’t looking where you were going.”

  “So shouldn’t you be repaying us?”

  “Yeah, repay us.”

  “But with what?”

  “I am hungry.”

  “So am I Suzuka.”

  “You hear that man go get us some food now.”

  With my rage leaking from my body I say, “CUT THE SHIT DICKHEADS, YOU YOUNG OHING YOUR LIVES OUR SO HARD, BUT LET ME TELL YOU THE STRUGGLES OF A THIRTY-FIVE-YEAR-OLD MAN WITH A NEWLY BORN BABY IS WAY BEYOND THAT.”

  Croug down in a er with tears f in my eyes I say, “When I finish my 18-hour shift I have to go home to a wife who screams at me for w too much, and then I have to py with my newly born baby who refuses to sleep and cries throughout the night. You know why the hell am I even alive.”

  Getting up I toss all the materials away and say, “FUCK WORK.”

  Φ Starring at the man shocked, I turn my head to Suzuka and say, “I think we broke him.”

  “Isn’t this bad? Where are about to take a father from a kid.”

  “Don’t worry parents are overrated you will grow up fihout them.”

  “Orb!”

  “Ok, ok.” Me, Suzuka, and Atanta walk up to him and rub his back saying encing words.

  “Want some butterscotch?”

  “Life is full of fun things.”

  “Hang in there.”

  Getting up the man says, “No need for that, it’s just my 3rd breakdown today.”

  “Today!”

  “We have no time for this.” Putting the materials into our hands the man says, “No time to waste!” And runs off with us following close behind.

  We follow him until we arrive at an area with multiple wonderbeasts, though they were all the same type. Every single one had their giant mouths open in the shape of a regle.

  Whes there, he throws the materials into one of their giant mouths, where it is ched down on and squished.

  “WHAT’S TAKING YOU GUYS SO LONG? CHUCK THIS STUFF IN.”

  Following his instrus, I throw the stuff I have into one of the wonderbeasts' mouths.

  “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING.”

  Freakout I say, “I did what you asked me to.”

  “YOU IDIOT, you threw it into the wrong wonderbeast. The greeurn materials into the air, while the blue ourn it into fertilizer. You threw it into the blue one, DUMBASS, DID YOU EVER PAY ATTENTION IN SCHOOL.”

  Walking over to Atanta, he says, “The red ourn it into water, and you're feeding it the wrong materials, red ones hate deerials.”

  Walking over to Suzuka he says, “I SAID PUT THEM IN THE GREEN ONES, WHY ARE YOU PUTTING IT INTO A PINK ONE.”

  Frightened Suzuka says, “Because it’s pretty.”

  “YOU FREAKING DUMBASS, THE PINK ONES CREATE HALLUOGENIC POOP. DOES YOUR BRAIN EVEN WORK?”

  Turniails into a fist, she hits the man away and says, “Don’t scream at me dumbass, I don’t know any of this stuff.”

  Moving close to Suzuka I cover her mouth.

  “Wait, how could you live in Skydust and not know any of this stuff, are you guys outsiders?” He says giving us a fierce look.

  That look makes it seem like they don’t wele outsiders here. What should I do?

  “I am done,” Cyrus says looking at the man.

  Turning his head fiercely he asks Cyrus, “Did you put them in the right ones.”

  In his broken heroes song Cyrus says, “The br-r-ronze ones in the y-y-y-yellow beast, the dense ones in the b-b-b-blue beast, and the rest in the green bea-a-a-ast. I am very good at copying others.”

  Hearing this me, Atanta, and Suzuka put our hands to our faces and look away. Cyrus is too pitiful, it is hard to watch.

  Finding my moment, I walk over to Cyrus and sp my hand over his mouth, and say, “What my big brother meant, was that he always does all the material disposal for the family all by himself.”

  “So that's why you don’t know how to?”

  “Yes, but we were able to learn today all thanks to your amazing tutege.”

  Rubbing the back of his head he says to us, “Ahh I see well if I could be of help it was all worth it, but please do tell, what shop do you guys run?”

  “Oh well, we currently don’t run one.”

  “So, you’re all without jobs.”

  “Your damn right.”Reag into his pocket he pulls out a whistle and blows it. “EVERYONE FREE WORKERS OVER HERE!”

  Everyone ierials disposal area stops and looks at us. I hear them all mutter, “Free workers,” like some kind of t.

  Then running in our dire, they surround us and start to grab us.

  “Hey if you’re not doing anything, e help me.”

  “I am pletely swarmed, give me some extra hands.”

  “I will pay you any amount, just help me.”

  “You're not doing anything else, help me.”

  “Sorry, we are not here to work.”

  Ign me they say, “I want the small one.”

  “I want the cute boy.”

  “I want the beauty.”

  “I want the tall one.”

  Without our sent, they take us all over the pce.

  As I sew a dress a woman says, “When you finish all that sewing I need you to get started on the 200 dress orders over there, then I need some help with my personal project.”

  Φ “My god, you are such a beauty and you even have an eye for Floral design.”

  “Of course, I do I happen to be amazing.”

  Orb has beaten my self-esteem, but this is getting it right back up.

  “Now when you finish with that, I have another 378 flowers I would like you te as well.”

  “That’s too many. I ’t do that.”

  Getting on the floor and holding my clothes while kneeling she cries, “Please, I have no one else you’re the only one I call upon, if I don’t get this work done why am I even alive.”

  “What a drag.”

  Φ “My god your skills at carving are unmatched.”

  “My mom was the best at things like this.”

  “And those 4 other hands you have how effit, how much would it take to buy those off you.”

  “I ’t really sell them to you, they don’t e off.”

  Wall smmihe man says, “DON’T LIE TO ME EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE, I HOSE ARMS, JUST IMAGIHE EFFICY I COULD GET THINGS DOH THEM.”

  Scared I scream, “EKKKKK!”

  Φ “You bastards hurry up, I am building this house out of benelium if we don’t finish the stru within a week of building the foundation, it will colpse. Are y to destroy my building?”

  “All this shit is super heavy, no ill be able to build this house within a week!”

  “Stop being babies, look at that mahere,” I say pointing at the man who is singlehanded building most of the house.

  “Who is this man?”

  “Some randow we picked off the street.”

  “His work efficy is most superb, I must have him.” Walking over to the man I stop him and say, “Your muscles will truly let my architecture asd to a biblical level, maybe even beyond that.”

  “T-T-Thank you.”

  “Now quickly sign this tract,” I say shoving it into his face.

  “Ca-a-a-an I read it first?”

  “Reading a tract before you sign it is the ultimate ck of passion.”

  “But it says, life tract, re?-retra of human rights.”

  “That is a basic deal. Just sign it.”

  Φ I o stand my ground. “N-N-N-No!”

  Grabbing me by the shoulder he shakes me rapidly and says, “Don’t you want to asd to a higher state with me, or do you want to stay a mere mortal? If we finish this building we will be beyond human, WE WILL BE GODS, and gods fear nothing but their own genius.”

  “I won-t-t-t be scared anymore?”

  “Of course, you won’t, you will be the height of existeno fear, no cowardice, able to do anything.”

  That’s exactly what I want. As I go to sign the paper it is grabbed out of my hand by some workers, and then I see the man who was about to make me sign it tackled to the ground.

  Ripping the paper the man says, “Life tracts are no longer allowed on Skydust, it is called workers rights.”
