The Heir and the Chimera
Chapter 4: Sewer Rats
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Chimera walks down the mysterious path and it ends at the underground sewers. The smell in the air is not pleasant for G77 and S151, but T21 acts like smell didn’t exist. T21 thinks of where to go.
G77 complains, “It smells so bad, I don’t even have a proper word for it.”
S151 comments, “The poniesss that took Master Glasss Cannon are above us!”
T21 responds, “I know where those ponies are going to take him and I have a plan.”
G77 asks, “What is it?”
Footsteps are heard coming their way. The footsteps echo louder and louder with each rushing step.
“Just go along with my act and we will get him.”
“Why can’t we just…?”
T21 shhes G77 as the coltnappers go around the corner. T21 moves forward to meet them. The coltnappers are 2 unicorns in brown and black cheap looking uniforms (including one with patches and holes). They had Glass Cannon in a brown sack floating behind them with their magic.
T21 says with a smile to one of the coltnappers, “Hi guys, the boss told me to get the brat from here.”
One of the Unicorns comments, “Aren’t you...” He looks at a certain line pattern. “You’re Hand Me Down Tizzy.”
“I rather be just called Tizzy.”
As T21 gathers the unicorns’ attention, G77 use a magically electric attack to zap one of the unicorns. The unicorn’s horn gets fried and breaks. The unicorn falls on the ground fainting from the pain.
Before the other unicorn could react, T21 had no choice but to grab the off guard unicorn’s head and break it.
S151 extends herself and grabs Glass Cannon as he was falling from the air. She puts Glass Cannon down and rips open the bag.
Glass Cannon takes a deep breath and immediately regrets it. He tastes the smell of the sewer. Glass Cannon looks around and quickly realizes where he is.
Glass Cannon says, “These bums took me into the sewer and took my sword.”
Glass Cannon looks around and finds a cheap ax on the nearest body. The ax has a dark grey blade with a cheap wooden handle. He puts the ax in his sword bag and surprisingly, it fits. Glass Cannon takes a closer look at the pony. Glass Cannon realizes that the pony is from a gang of lazy bums who try to steal his gruncle’s diamond collection and other high class ponies’ fortunes.
T21 says, “We should get out of here, master.”
“Agree, do you know how to get…”
“Yes, sir. I know a short cut.”
As the Chimera runs to the exit, Glass Cannon is trying to think of what happened. S151 notices that he is not moving and grabs him.
The Chimera walks up to the way out. Another Chimera with tattoos, wearing unique markings, brown clothes, and helmets. The goat head of the other chimera has glowing eyes and electricity flowing between its horns. This other Chimera works for the bum gang.
S151 lets go of Glass Cannon and whispers, “Hide.”
The 2 chimeras stare down at each other, each knowing the other is not an ally but foe.
T21 taunts, “Nice hats, I can’t wait to take yours.”
The Gangster Tiger Head comments, “Aren’t you the hand me down? I don’t know why you are here but I know you’re not one of us anymore. I never liked you, anyways.”
The Gangster Goat Head starts the fight with a ramming attack with its static horns and gets stuck with G77. The magic lighting does nothing and the goats’ horns get stuck with each other. T21 pulls back by holding her paw down and moving her leg back to stretch the Gangster Goat head’s neck. The Gangster Chimera tried to pull its goat head back but made thing worse.
T21 orders G77, “Cut her neck!”
G77 cuts the Gangster goat neck off with her paw using full force. The Gangster goat head is still alive and screams from the pain while pink blood oozes out of her wounds. G77 grabs the gangster goat head and it bites back. G77 responds by crushing the head like a stress ball. The head becomes a pink mess with fur.
Fortunately for Glass Cannon, he didn’t see any of that brutality because of his Chimera’s body being in the way.
Glass Cannon asks S151, “What is going on?”
S151 answers, “We are winning, Massster.”
The Gangster Tiger Head says, “I will have my revenge for killing my sister. You cheap re…”
T21 grabs the Gangster Tiger Head’s jaw and looks directly in the eyes, “You should talk less.”
The Gangster Chimera tried to strike back but S151 and G77 grab its arms. T21 pulls the jaw of the Gangster Tiger Head. The Gangster Tiger Head gurgled in pain.
T21 says with an evil smile, “No Witnesses.”
T21 bites her victim’s head off and eats what’s left of it. After swallowing it, pink blood was left. The rest of Glass Cannon’s Chimera looks at T21 with shock. They let go of the arms of the enemy Chimera.
G77 asks, “Did you need to… do that?”
S151 comments, “You ate a fellow tiger, a sssister.”
T21 says, “We are not done yet.”
The remaining snake head of the Gangster Chimera uses his unquestioned control of the body to put the arms up to surrender. The Gangster Snake Head slowly reveals itself. It is blue with a light yellow zigzag pattern.
The Gangster Snake Head says, “I give up. I never wanted to fight in the first place.”
Glass Cannon climbs over his bodyguard’s body to see what is going on. He sees the carnage and was ready to scream. S151 covers his mouth as he screamed.
S151 whispers into Glass Cannon’s ear, “We won, calm down, and help usss decccide the fate of this bad guy.”
“Please, we don’t have much time. I want to leave this gang and this smelly hole but I need to find somewhere close to transfer myself to your body.”
The Gangster Chimera points at Glass Cannon’s Chimera.
Glass Cannon taps on S151 and she lets go of his mouth.
Glass Cannon asks, “What do you offer?”
“I’m a healer snake limb, I can fix up any wounds, look.”
The Gangster Snake Head stretches to the front of its body where it fixes the bleeding holes within a few moments.
Glass Cannon and his Chimera look at the process with amazement.
“What is your problem?”
“A long story but I can tell you that some college dropouts force me and my brothers to make constant repairs to these bodies.”
Footsteps are heard echoing through the Sewers.
Glass Cannon announces, “You’re part of my team, let’s get out of here.”
T21 asks, “Are you…”
“I don’t want to be part of more fights today. So Move.”
The Gangster Chimera opens the secret door.
It says, “I am Patchwork, sir.”
Patchwork leads the way out with Glass Cannon and his Chimera behind him.
As they leave the underground, Glass Cannon comments, “Patchwork, I like your nickname. I should think of ones for…”
G77 interrupts, “More running and less talking, sir.”
Patchwork leads the party into a nearby alley for hiding places. They pick their spots and wait.
