Could this day get any weirder [Open] (Read 404 times)

[bunji]

With a quick roll Bunji would dive left, barely avoiding the serpent like dough attack the solid object crashed into a nearby table completely shattering the wooden structure. Quickly jumping up to his feet, Bunji figured this guy did not care about destroying his bakery because with a wave of his hands he manipulated the dough snake to drag across the ground swinging it at Bunji .This time the young man would not be as lucky. With a square hit he was sent off his feet, and onto a nearby wall with solid impact he crashed onto the wall creating a small crater, falling to the ground Bunji groaned in pain. The dough wrapped around his waist, raising him off the ground still groaning Bunji weakly grabbed onto the dough in a pitiful attempt to try to ease the pain of the crushing pain he was feeling from this thing squeezing him tightly. His eyes closed in pain opening one he stared at the old man, who was chuckling enjoying this scene, it seemed he had trapped the young man who put up a little fight.

Then suddenly a bright flash of light cause the man to cover his eyes, the sound of a blade slicing the air echoed in the store. With a thud Bunji landed on the ground with the piece of dough landing next to him, he smirked taking a stance with his sword drawn, and his shield ready he had used his requip magic. “Steel beats dough gramps!” he said confidently, being able to open his eyes once more the old man glared at the young mage. ”Talk is cheap, you’re still outnumbered!” he declared as he waved his hands around, and multiple cupcakes floated around the old man then shooting his arms forward he shot the cupcakes in Bunji’s direction one after the other. Holding his shield up Bunji ran to the side as fast as he could, avoiding most of them but some hit his shield. These however were not soft cupcakes, it was like being hit with solid rocks the cupcakes bounced off his shield, but every hit he could feel it on his arm. “What the hell are those made of!” he called out from behind his shield, however as he ran he failed to see the dough serpent from earlier sweep out in front of him tripping Bunji.

Falling face first with a loud crash, Bunji knocked over some tables, and chairs as he scrambled to avoiding the serpent that was slamming down towards him managing to roll out of the way at the last minute. The dough serpent slammed onto the ground with a solid slam, causing the floor to crack looking back Bunji ducked avoiding the swing of the dough serpent that swung over his head. Bunji had to figure out a way to get near this guy, otherwise he was going to be dancing around the store all day! The old man jumped on the counter, and began swinging his arms in a windmill fashion this immediately caused a series of cakes to shoot in Bunji’s direction, the young man rolled out of the way, and barely avoided the slamming cakes that crashed into the wall, and floor with deadly force. With wide eyes Bunji stared at the old man, ’What did I get myself into?’ he thought to himself, starting to wonder where the hell Nexus was.

[Nexus Martel]

Nexus had started to get to his feet and start at the scared man but he wasn't about to waste any time in this fight. The man lifted his arms and punched out twice and sent two blast of wind right at Nexus. He managed to avoid the first one ducking under it but the second caught him right in the chest sending him flying back into the wall of the building. He let out a coughed breath looking at the man, it felt like he was just hit with a brick. The man was coming at him again, well more like flying at him and he was moving fast. Nexus managed to time it just right slashing upward with his claws and catching the man over the chest. That made him back off for the flying backward and sending two more blast of wind at Nexus "Fuckin Kid, just die."

Nexus got his arms up to take and block the first wind blast and then dashed forward staying low to the ground and moving under the second blast. Nexus was closing in on the guy and started to swipe his claws up at the guy, the scared man just barely avoided it flying up and out of the range of the attack. He raised his hands up into the air the wind starting to swirl and pick up around him before he forced them downward and Nexus was hit with an intense blast of air the pressure flattening him to the ground knocking the air out of him. Nexus let out a groan and mumbled under his breath "Shot of a -" He never got to finish that sentence because the man was setting up for another blast to end it all. Nexus eyes widen at the sight and he just managed to roll to the side out of the way as the ground that he had just been laying on was crushed and dented in.

Nexus looked up and noticed the scare guy was lower than he had been before, it seemed those last attacks had taken more out of him than he thought. That was perfect for Nexus as he flipped to his feet fighting the pain in his side as he leaped up and sank his claws deep into the thighs of the man pulling him down and tossing him into the wall the mans head bouncing off of it before he fell to the ground. "You are a pain in the ass windy, one hell of a pain." Nexus was sure that the guy wasn't dead but he should be out for awhile from the blow to the head. Nexus dragged the guy into the bakery, he had to get to Bunji and help him out. Nexus looked around then remembered the locked room and kicked it open the action loud enough to be heard through the bakery. He tired up windy and tossed him in there before turning to head to the front hoping that he wasn't to late.

"Just hold on for a bit mini man I'm on my way." With that Nexus raced to the front kicking in the side door that had lead to the back. As he looked around it looked as if someone had just had a large food fight in the place. Nexus spotted Bunji and then to the old man just as she claws started to fade "Seems you started the party without me."

[bunji]

The battle was raging on inside, the old man was not letting up for a second as a bombardment of pastries flew in Bunji’s direction. From donuts, to cupcakes, and strudels it seemed the old man had no shortage of projectiles to launch at the young man, running around, and rolling out of the way best he could he was avoiding everything so far though he had those few close calls where his shield came in handy. However he was growing tired of jumping all over the place, granted the old man had done a number on his own bakery, and a crowd had gathered outside they were looking into the shop through the window wondering what was going on. Bunji knew that was bad, because at any moment the police could show, and then assume that he is just vandalizing this guy’s store, “Ok…No more games” he said raising his shield, to prepare himself to go in for a full charge, he was going to close the distance, and end this already.

The young red head locked eyes with the bushy eye brow man, then he charged as he did cupcakes flew his way the young man moved side to side avoiding the cupcakes as they zoomed passed him, it seemed he was more determined than ever to cover the distance between them. His mind was already formulating a plan for when he got passed this old guys constant barrage, yet as Bunji was getting closer the old man would clap both hands together, then begin to apparently charge up. This was his chance, Bunji kicked up into the air his swords blade glowing a bright golden color as his eyes focused on the old man, then just as Nexus would kick the door down the old man would spread his hands apart, and explode?! Yes, he exploded into a mysterious white foam that expanded outward in all direction consuming the entire shop in seconds.

Bunji’s eyes widened as he was hit by the fluffy substance, and pushed into the wall, he was sure Nexus would have suffered the same fate as the white fluff was so suddenly released. Bunji was pressed against one of the windows by the foam, the pressure was so great he broke through the window being dropped from a few feet off the ground he landed onto one of the outside tables with a loud crash. Some of the spectators scattered, and others lingered to see the injured red head laying on his back on a bed of rubble that was once a table, with heavy breaths he laid there staring at the dawn sky with one eye. “Gah….To hell with this crap…” he said to himself wishing he could just be on his hammock sleeping, with a heavy sigh he forced himself to rise to his feet. Both shield, and sword in hand he stared as the bakery was completely ruined by that last attack the old man used, the foam however would begin to deflate when it was finally gone the young mage walked into the bakery. A ’squeesh’ made him look down only to see his boot sink into the pool of white foam that now filled the entire area, staining the walls, an gathering all over the floor.

“Nexus!” he called out, seeing as he saw no sign of the old man he figured that was some sort of escaping technique. However he did remember seeing Nexus, so he wondered where the hell he had gone now.

[Nexus Martel]

Nexus didn't have much to to react, look around, do or even say much of anything before all hell broke out. It was already a mess in there that much Nexus had gathered from all the smacked cakes and things around. He had managed to see Bunji with a sword and shield in hand ready for battle than it was all white stuff expanding fast. Nexus didn't even have time to react to the white foam before it was already smacking him against the wall. He could feel the stuff getting wider and wider crushing him into the wall, it was starting to get hard for him to even breath in the stuff. He had to let the air out of his lungs so his ribs weren't crushed and then just as fast as it had come the white foam was gone. Well not completely but it had deflated and was a sloppy mess along the floor.

Nexus let out a strained cough as he wheezed and tried to catch his breath feeling a bit dazed. That was when he heard them the sound of footsteps moving out the back way pass him. Nexus shook his head and tried to focus he couldn't let the guy get away, he had murdered a girl or had part in it and tried to kill him and Bunji. Nexus pulled himself to his feet and scrambled after the guy reaching out to grabbed him. The guy waved his arm and Nexus felt something hit him in the back of the head causing him to fall face first on the ground. He groaned as he headed the footsteps fading away, for an old man that guy sure didn't move like one that was for sure.

"Damn it all to hell, our one chance to get out of this mess just got away. Now what the..." Nexus stopped as he remembered there was still a chance for the two of them. As long at the old man hadn't had the change to get to the closet then it was all fine, this was their last hope. Nexus quickly picked himself up to his feet and started heading back toward the door and room that he had tossed the man with the scar into. As long as they had him they could at least prove that they hadn't killed the girl and that there was more to this than the cops knew about. Nexus steeped carefully the white foam still lingering along the ground here and there as he headed to the door wiping himself off. He opened the door and couldn't hide his grin at what he found there.

The scarred man had woken up and was trying to get free from his bindings, but he was still there. Nexus walked over to him drawing his fist back as he punched the man feel in the jaw knocking him out again "Night night." It was then that he heard Bunji's voice and called out to him "I'm in here, I got us a bit of a present so to speak should help with getting the cops off our backs." With that Nexus waited for to make his way to the back closet where the scarred man was out cold.

[bunji]

Hearing the voice that called to him from the back room, Bunji would make his way there by walking along the awkwardly soft floor that was layered with the substance that seemed more like a melted marshmallow then anything. Once he walked passed the counter, and turned into the back he spotted Nexus not so far away from the door, once he stepped inside at least he was no longer walking through the puddle of mush that was all over the front part of the bakery. He walked over to Nexus stopping just a few feet next to him, then turning to look at the man with the weird hat, crossing his arms over his chest Bunji would smirk, “Well would you look at that!” he exclaimed feeling a sense of joy come over him. The baker may have escaped them, but at least they got the scarred man which was the one who had committed the murder “I was starting to think you were a little crazy Nexus…” he admitted with a pause before turning his face to look over at his fellow would be detective.

“I guess your scarred man, that smelled like baked goods is real” he said to the man with a joking tone, turning his attention to the guy who was unconscious Bunji would have his attention pulled from said man to some commotion outside. He inched over to peek through the open door, there he saw the crowd splitting, and police cautiously stepping quickly walking over to Nexus he tapped his shoulder. “Hey the cops are here, look you go ahead, and tell them what happened, also about this guy” Bunji paused as he made his way passed Nexus, then to the back door to use it as an exit. “I will go to see if I can find anything on our crazy baker, that way we cover more ground” he said with a smirk, and a nod with that Bunji stepped out through the back door rushing down the alley to the nearest way out so he could blend into the crowd, and vanish from sight.

Just as quickly as he had left the police charged in four in total, luckily none recognized Nexus as one of the two men who had ran away earlier. ”What’s going on here?” one of the officers asked as he, and his men moved forward two of them grabbing hold of Nexus, and the other officer kneeling down next to the unconscious man.

[Nexus Martel]

Nexus couldn't help but feel a bit smug at having captured the scarred man considering the cops wouldn't. If they had left things to them well, the girls murders would be out there and Bunji and himself would be locked away for something they didn't even do. He shook his head to think that all of this was the cause of an old man in a bakery and this weird guy. The thought of the old man had hit a sore spot for Nexus, he was upset that he had let the old man get away even if they did have this guy. However Nexus would have to just tell the cops that he was still out there and that they would have to do what they could to catch and stop that man. So even though things hadn't wrapped up as nicely as he would have hoped it was still a good ending in the end.

Nexus had turned to face Bunji as he made his way through the white foam like stuff over to the closest. Nexus let out a slight laugh at the man's comment about the scarred man and he nodded. "Hey I can understand that, for awhile I was wondering if I hadn't been seeing things and wasn't going a bit crazy myself. However we have found the truth and caught this guy so it is somewhat of a happy ending there. I only wish that damn old man hadn't gotten away for just some old guy baker he was a lot tougher than I thought he would be." It was just as Nexus finished his sentence that he head the sound of the cops making their way to the shop and heading in after parting the crowd. Will they were in for a surprise when him and Bunji told them what happened.

However it was Nexus that would be in for the surprise when Bunji started to take off saying something about searching for the old man while Nexus handled the cops. Before Nexus even got the chance to reply Bunji was gone out the back way and away from the cops, Nexus turned to see the cops coming at him a few grabbing him as another went toward the scarred man to make sure that he was alive. Nexus let out a sigh and said "Look if you loosen up on the grip i can tell you all what happened here, also I'd be careful and not get to close to that guy. He happened to be a murderer and a very dangerous one at thing, so I'd take a few steps back from the man." The cop looked at Nexus wary but did follow his advice backing for the scarred man.

Nexus nodded "Good, now that I know you guys are at somewhat smart I'll fill you in on the details. There was a murderer earlier today I'm sure you guys know of it girl killed in the open well that's your killer. he is a mage with wind magic that's how he did it. He had a partner as well but he got away, lucky for you guys I was able to catch this guy thus the mess of the place, now if you will unhand me you can take that guy in." The cops looked at each other unsure of what to do if to let him go or not until finally the main officer nodded for them to take in the scarred man. "You don't go leaving town we will have more questions for you." That was all the cop said as they dragged the scarred man out, it seemed they didn't really care to much as long as they had someone to blame everything on. Now Nexus just had to get to Bunji, but when he headed out the back door the guy was nowhere to be seen. That put a dent in his places to find the baker now, but he had a feeling he'd run into them both again.
