Bounty Hunter Bash Jones Lock Arc Part One

 Welcome To Jones Lock


They opened their eyes to see that they were no longer on the Island Of Coral. Bash and Chashathrophogh looked around to see where they were. The ground was dry and there were several arches upside-down like the bottom of a ship out the top of a church. With a flat aria in the center. They could see dry coral around them that had never been touched by water in decades. Then when they looked up at where the sky should be, they saw a body of water above them as far as the eye could see! They could see sharks and kraken swimming above them.

Upon seeing this Chashathrophogh looked at Cerpheres and ran up to him. Before he could even do anything he grabbed the man by his color and pulled him in. He drew a dagger and dug it under his chin. His face was completely taken over by both rage and anger. Meanwhile Cerpheres looked at him shocked but also amused at the same time.

"Where are we?"

"Jones Lock."

"Alright, now tell me, why don't I kill you right here and now?"

Cerpheres smiled and kicked his lips. His face became red as he looked aside.

"Well I assume you want that sorcerer that cast that spell on you?"

His eyes widened.

"What! Are you telling me-"

Cerpheres chuckled playfully, looking at the man as if he was a cute animal.

"Oh dear no! But I do know him. In fact I'm his most troublesome son!"

"What!" Chashathrophogh exclaimed, his grip loosening slightly.

"Yes. Although, I can't say I know where he is, however I do think that if you keep me around…" 

He licked his lips.

"Maybe you could find him easier. And one you do…"

He cupped his cheek.

"Could you kill him for me?"

At this Chashathrophogh punched him.

"Aw! That wasn't very nice."

"I don't care. Also I would like you to know, once we find him and make him break his spell. I will kill him and then you're next. Have you got that?"

He smiled drunkenly with a nonchalant look on his face. He shrugged.

"Of course."

"Then wipe that look off your face. It's getting me irritated."

His flirtatious look intensified.

"What?"

"You look so cute when you're angry!"

At this he threw the blade at him. He dodged, just missing his cheek. His eyes widened as he looked at the blade and him. He smiled, impressed by this.

"Next one won't be a warning!"

He smiled to himself.

"Alright. I'll think about behaving!" He sang.

Yet his red cheeks told Bash that he read only saying it in jest. She knew that the longer that he stayed around the more of a liability he would become. She also knew that she would probably be the only one to keep her uncle calm and try to make Cerpheres behave. Yet she could not know if it was something that she could do, well alone at least.

"Tell me, is your physical appearance part of your curse?"

He looked at a stand of his hair. He pushed it back.

"No."

"Then why does it change along with your voice?"

"What? Can't I have a little fun?"

She rolled her eyes.

Don't entertain it. Just get him to keep talking about anything that won't anger Chashathrophogh.

"So what was your original hair and eye colour?"

"Well the hair that is…" his hair changed to the colour of royal purple garnet and emerald eyes. "...this colour I use this voice but.." his hair changed to emerald and amber eyes. "...when I use this voice this is my hair and eye colour. Although my original eye colour is amber and the purple hair is my original eye colour."

She nodded.

"Now where's civilization?"

"Here!"

They followed him to a small town with buildings made of old coral and shipwreck wood making up the doors and window doors. Underneath each of the windows were a row of plants. All of the coral buildings were off all colours. There were flat roads and none had any gardens. They could see that there were several towers that were so tall that it even touched the water. There were several men and women swimming at the bottom and some caught some fish in a net and then swam down and grabbed the top of a ladder and pulled themselves down and climbed down. Then they would walk down the there's and Greece them over to a group of children. They walked to a table, where they hired the fish. 

They noticed a child tug at the rim of his father's coat. He looked down and the child pointed at them. He looked up at them. Then others noticed the group. Some stayed where they were yet others started to walk up to them.

"Hello, I am Jonoh. I can tell you must be new."

"Yeah."

"We just arrived."

"Then welcome to Jones Lock."

"Come! We have new residents!"

Jonoh's children and their friends took them and pulled them to a group of adults.

"Let go of me!" Chashathrophogh snapped.

"Oh come on! Just go along with it. You might find it fun!"

"Cerpheres, please don't push him like that!"

"Why not?"

"He would try to kill you."

He raised his eyebrows as he smiled. He would have looked present if it was not for his red cheeks. She noticed that his breathing had become heavy.

"You would like that, wouldn't you!"

"Maybe!"

"Come on! There are children around!" Snapped Chashathrophogh.

He sighed.

"I'll try to keep a kid on it. Although I'll make no promises!"

They were drafted to a restaurant.

"Come on! Get some fish! We've got new people!" A boy shouted.

"We have!"

Soon they were eating fish and seaweed and they drank into the night.

"Here's to the new ones!" 

"Here, here!"

Some danced. Cerpheres then took Bash and pulled her in and taught her more dance moves, while Chashathrophogh looked at them, carefully monitoring them. Yet a girl walked up to him.

"Urm…could you dance with one of us?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I prefer to keep a close eye on him."

"Why?"

"I do not trust him with her."

"Alright."

Yet soon they soon walked back to him. Bash was looking sleepy.

"Is there a hotel here?"

"No hotel. Just choose an empty house and live there."

They then walked out and found one on the outskirts, they walked up and sprouted that it was a small house with a kitchen to the left and the living room to the right. In the center was a curved staircase that looked to two small bedrooms.

"Cerpheres, you're with me." Barked Chashathrophogh sleepily.

There they walked up the stairs and were all soon asleep.

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
