chapter 23

He finally gets it that he is now much larger that he was yesterday.

Tenlong yells," I am Tenlong and I am not lying!"

The woman yelling at him gestures over to some hunters.

Two large hunters come running after the boy.

Tenlong does not how much strength he now has so runs away as the two hunters chasing after him#

He runs so fast that he easily outruns the two hunters in less than a mile away from the village.

The two hunters give up the chase as they are lying on the grassy ground panting for air.

Tenlong runs all the way back to mother's murder site and is angered by what he saw there.

Large birds were eating on his mother's flesh. Tenlong chases the birds away while screaming at the top of his lungs. He killed some of the birds by swiping them with his large hands. Tenlong cries as he sees that his mother is covered in cuts and blood. The boy starts to clean up his mother.

#

Tenlong finished cleaning up his mother's body and he had Zizi wrapped in a spare blanket in the buggy that they had traveled in this morning.

#

Tenlong walks back to his home town but does not get within eyesight of the villagers.

The villagers of Lowroda stayed inside after it got dark to keep from running into bandits that search for anybody that they can rob.

Tenlong entered the village as soon as the last person entered their home and locked their door behind them.

He walked over to the house that his mother and himself lived him his entire life. He did

not have the heart to enter the home and he walks to his backyard.

He sets his mother down on the ground gently as he able to. Tenlong found a shovel leaning

against the back of the house and he started to dig a grave for his mother.

#

Tenlong makes a very rough grave and sets his mother in the hole.

Tenlong cries while he has a broken off tree branch in his mouth to keep him from wailing out of grief. The boy is inconsolable as he pours dirt on his mother's dead body.

#

Tenlong leaves before morning to avoid making a scene with the villagers.

He was so upset that did not think to get some food from his kitchen and he left with nothing.

Tenlong walked away into the nearby wilderness.

#

The next morning there was a stir in Tenlong's old village.

People were in tizzy because somebody had buried a body in Zizi's backyard. On the two large tree branches was badly written" I love you Momma! Tenlong will be a good boy!"

The woman that hit Tenlong begin to cry that she had rejected the boy that she had loved for the last four years.

The villagers present there all wonder where the young Tenlong would go.

#

Mary had confronted the mayor over what she thought was a travesty.

She spoke," Tenlong was just a boy and you had placed a hit on him! Are you insane?"

Grimwald could do nothing but remain silent and look down on the floor.

Mary punches the mayor in the his jaw as hard as she could.

The blow knocks the old mayor unto his back.

The mayor was taken completely by surprise by the blow.

Mary had never been violent her entire life but she had busted her hand opened by the blow she

had given to the once cherished mayor.

Over the last few days, Tenlong had become family to the young mother and her son. Now someone was trying to kill the young boy that she had tried so hard to protect.

#

Tenlong had been fighting with the village's hunters and was some how very successful at it.

The boy was no fighter but he managed to overwhelm his foes. Only six hunters were left and they did not know what to do with the large Gigantos.

Tenlong's body begins to be covered in a large and powerful aura that begins the rattle the forest

around him.

Tenlong yells out loud as his aura knocks the hunters several yards out of sight.

His body mass begins to change to that of a four hundred and fifty pound muscle bound man monster.

That weight was all muscle and had contained very little fat. The young boy was around twelve percent body fat, which was well within that of an athletic adult.

Tenlong had totally lost control of himself and was being controlled by a blood lust for battle.

#

Minutes goes by the hunters come to and see the monstrous boy covered in ki.

They knew that they better leave this warrior to his himself than to be killed by him. They were so scared they had left their prized weapons behind in the woods as they ran for their lives.

#

Jimmy Sr was fighting to protect his village as he was fighting against the Zarabas brothers. Bandits had attacked the village while Jimmy was away hunting.

Jimmy had managed to defeat some of the bandits when he had returned to the village.

The brothers had fused together using the process of Xenomorphication.

This process was invented centuries ago by someone long since dead but the act lived on through many hundreds of variations made over time.

The newly formed Zarabas brother was stretching his body in the attempt to continue the battle.

#

Seconds later, the warrior was readied to battle the hero Jimmy.

Zarabas tilted his head backwards until his torso was tilted behind his feet and he erupted a flame based ki blast out of his agape mouth.

Jimmy jumps to the side of blast but the blast follows after him as he tries to escape the scorching flames.

The fire was destroying everything it touches upon contact. If Jimmy stopped for a second he would be killed instantly.

The weapon master had the ability to process information within a fraction of a second.

Jimmy ponders,"This punk has managed to power up considerable. I have heard that Xenomorphication is a process that multiples ones power by multiplying the powers of it's users. This guy has to have the strength and speed of that of a second order warrior easily."

Zarabas can not hit Jimmy no matter what he does and is staring to get angry.

Jimmy thought," His skill has gone up but not as much as his power has. Xenomorphication only adds the users skills, unlike like his strength and speed being multiplied. I still have a massive lead in this battle.

Zarabas only has the skill of a third order warrior. I know that with the governor that the

battle academy had given me I have the power of the second order and the skill of the first order. I know what he is capable of now I must rid myself of this corrupt menace!"

Jimmy would not hold back any longer since he needs to help the rest of the villagers. He could not shake the feeling that something was wrong with his wife and son.

But Jimmy had no time to worry about that now.

He was dodging both flames and a giant spiked ball(on a chain) from the Zarabas brother.

Jimmy Sr had enough of his inaction and he decided that it was the right time to act.

Before the brother could regained his spike ball, Jimmy rips it out of the ground. The spike ball is thrown at the mouth of the Zarabas brother.

The spike ball pierced through the head of the foe and the spikes were now solidly in the man's flesh. The Zarabas brother was stunned by the blow but was still standing solid on his feet.

The Zarabas brothers had been preparing for another ki blast and it was ready to unleashed.

The blast went off and the transformed brother exploded into blood and gore.

#

Jimmy had spent four straining years training at the battle academy and it was a mighty day when he would returned.

Unbeknownst to Jimmy, Kimza had written a letter a month in advance to encourage the village to have a welcome home party for the young man.

The battle worn master, while wearing his trademark cloak was walking with the over eager Jimmy.

Kimza was doing all he to keep Jimmy from running ahead.

The weapon master spoke,"Slow down my boy! The village is not going anywhere since it is not gonna run away from you!"
