Brad had reached his limit. He laid on the ground with arrows and swords sticking out of every part of him. After beating Rando's army, and Rando himself. He laid next to buddy who stared at him. The last words he spoke before collapsing on the ground ring through his head.
"Did I make the right choice?"
Beat up with exhaustion he could feel his body mutating due to joy. But Brad didn't care. He had failed buddy, he had failed himself. We was nothing more than a failure. As Brad's vision began to darken a name fills his mind. A name that haunted him every day.
"Lisa." Groaned Brad.
"Lisa... Help." Brad closed his eyes as his world began to fade.
…
Brad walked into the damaged building. The whole place was a wreck. In the center of it was a boy. His face mutilated.
"Dusty? What happened?" The bloody-faced boy stared up with disbelief.
"I-I'm sorry. I w-wasn't strong… e-enough to f-f-fight him…"
"Who did this?"
"It w-was him again…" Brad took a step back and looked at the damage.
"He, He's crazy master. H-he used a saw." Brad simply stood there.
"He, he s-s-said, 'This is for Lisa.' Why master? W-who is Lisa?"
"…"
"Master?"
"…"
"M-master Armstrong?"
Brad simply walked out the building. Not saying a word, leaving the boy alone in the remains of the dojo. The boy stared at the ground and began to weep, bloody tears streaming down what remained of his face.
"Dad… I-I'm sorry…" A sinister laugh followed as the image faded.
…
"Brad… Why did you let me die? Why didn't you help me? Where were you when I needed you? Why didn't you protect me? Why? Why!? WHY?!"
Brad jolted up awake as he gasped for air. He sat up straight as he continued to breathe. He felt horrible, his whole body hurt. He laid back down on his bed as he recollected his thoughts. Wait, Brad didn't have a bed, or house like this. Where am I? Thought Brad. He got up from the bed and managed to stand with his weak legs. The room was big with a giant bed in a mirror on the opposite side of the room. As Brad stood up he walked to the mirror and stared at his reflection. He had his scar which crossed over his eye, as long with many new scars covering his body. He had only his pants with no shirt, and stub in place of where his left arm would be. He held his head with his only arm and tried to remember what happened. All he could remember was fighting Rando, blacking out and…
"Buddy!" Brad remembered his whole quest and his journey. Yet still no recollection of how he got here.
"I see you're awake" A voice spoke from the other side of the room. Brad turned around and froze in his tracks. It was a fox like person with gray hair, fox ears on her head and she had two tails. She had a happy smile on her face with some revealing clothing. But it wasn't the fox like features that shocked Brad. It was the fact that she was a girl. An actual girl.
"You're a girl…" spoke Brad.
"Well of course I am! I don't see what the big deal is." Said the fox girl in gleeful tone. Brad couldn't believe his eyes. Another girl in Olathe. He thought Buddy was the only one. Buddy
"I need to… Sit down for a moment." Said Brad as he sat down on the bed.
"Oh, are you still hurt? I tried my best to heal you but it couldn't fix your arm…" He stared at his stumped arm.
"Don't worry about it…"
"What happened to you? When you were found you had arrows and swords sticking out of everywhere! Luckily you were somehow still alive, so we were able to heal you."
"Thanks, but where am I?"
"Oh, you're in Yamatai Village! You were found not too far from here."
"Where is that in Olathe?"
"Olathe? I don't think I heard about that place…" Brad's expression turned grim. How did he get all the way to wherever this place was? He then focused his attention to the fox girl.
"So... how did you survive the flash?"
"The flash? I don't remember any flash." Impossible. Not only did she not know about Olathe but they were unaffected by the flash as well. Well not completely unaffected if it turned her to fox creatures.
"So how many more are there of you?"
"Do you mean kitsune? Well this town if full of us!" Brad was shocked by this statement. Humanity was never in danger. That meant that Buddy…
"I have to go." Brad said as he got up from the bed. "If you could show me you put my things that would appreciated."
"But you're still hurt! Plus I don't even know your name!" Brad stared for a second before responding.
"Brad."
