Wanted Rippers

"And what's your take on it! Captain" A high military official, half blind on his left side - looked like a straight huge scar from a sword - that went from his forehead to his chin, barely touching the side of his lips - intimidating appearance. The two guards who were waiting their captain Bartholomew outside described him as monstrous in power and in looks.

"They were strong sir! reckless but strong with a little disciplining they can be a powerful asset to his Majesty's military" Bartholomew stated, as he firsthand experienced the might of Genges and also the might that brought the giant down in one hit.

"Pinning down a free mind is like accidentally googling at someone else when your wife is around,,, you never get to hear the end of it ----- aaahahahahah -- it's next to impossible" the official said, laughing out loud.

Laughter stops he lit up a huge cigar, he gets serious and said

"Here's my verdict Captain! first You and your squad will be given three months off for training and training only! Second about the two, the solution to recklessness is time. Are my orders clear?" "You're dismissed Captain! Now give me a room to think, my wife expects some grand gifts, I'm thinking what to get her"

"Sir!" with a soldier salute - right hand on the forehead.

"Oh! andd you have a lot more power to show - you just need the thrill of death".

" Death? sir?" Bartholomew said as he opens the door. This particular sentence was heard by the two guards which made them shiver and fear the official even more.

"You'll know when you know" the official said.

"Yes sir" Said Bartholomew finally closing the door.

"Marcus, Zudi inform everyone - all troops signed under me will have a three months hard training in Pilatun valley"

"haa? sir?" Zudi asked doubtful and unwanting.

"Did I stutter?" Bartholomew said, his pale brown eyes was determined.

And the two saw that and are immediately taken into his zone.

"Yes Sir!" they said.

"Soooo anyways, where are we going?" Szlick asked Lu, they were still in the forest of Halhazar.

Lu's face stuffed with meat from a wild-boar's thigh - his hand grabbing the end bone of the thigh " I don't knoww broo - I just walk wherever and do whatever"

"And why are you still following me, Szlick"."You're very strong to go solo you know".

" Following you? no I go where the hype takes me". " so far it's hype after hype, bustin my hips for the fight - its fun wherever it takes me".

"You love to fight! huh?!" Asked Lu.

"I do and don't, it's one part of F-U-N" Szlick said and continued

"I was just wondering, are you just super strong?".

"Wanna know?" said Lu.

"I just asked didn't I?!"

"Really wanna know?"

"What're you a child?" Szlick said grabbing the thigh from Lu

"My turn to eat your turn to speak"

"Hmmm-- it's like this - it's not that I'm strong, I'm just not very good at getting hit and stuff"

"Wha-duya mean?" asked Szlick.

"Welll--- Like I said I don't feel any pain from anything-sometimes I used to think that I'm a walking talking tree".

Szlick confused" Tree? - feel?"

"Yeaa - I don't get tired, I don't even need to sleep"

"But you still slept, heavily too"

szlick interrupts.

"I like to sleep - it's fun"

"okaayy- so you don't tire, you don't feel any pain, but what If I punch you like I did the giant" Szlick proposes a deal.

"In turn you can tell what my power is, whaduya say?"

"Okay" Lu without any hesitation.

Szlick moved a couple of feet away from Lu, he tossed him the rich thigh of the wild boar.

"Are - you - readyyy!?" asked Szlick.

"Yes".

Szlick busted his hips back and forth, fingers clicking in the rhythm.

"You always need to dance first?" Lu asked, kind of disappointed at the start up of Szlick's massive move.

"Yes- it's absolutely necessary to get into the groove - baby" Szlick totally in the zone, he was feeling it, and then he pauses and asked " You ready? "

Lu nods and stood ready.

With that Szlick hold his arms up and tapped the ground with his lead foot and he shouts "Wooo~~".

In the blink of an eye he connected his charge - a fistful of flesh directly hits Lu's abdomen.

Lu slightly pushed back - slightly - centimeters away.

" Woah!! " Szlick exclaimed.

"You really didn't feel that!?".

"wow - no one ever took it head on and stand like that".

"Woww- me too, I've never been pushed back before" Lu amazed and filled with curiosity. "We should fight" He said.

"Later, I have lots of questions" Szlick said.

"Ask awayy, hurry hurry" Lu like a child - wanting. What he craved was a fight.

"I can see - you're not effected at all but what's the deal with your absurd strength? " Szlick asked.

"Welll about that, I don't tire at all so one day I did push ups in the morning - andd I got lost in thought so I ended up doing push ups for 1 month straight or was it 4 ? I didn't keep count" Lu answered.

"Huh?!" Szlick's reaction was dumbfounded.

"Bwahaha I was thinking about how the fire lions lived with their kids and why am I alone?"

"Buut how can you say a month flew by?" Szlick asked, absolutely still dumbfounded.

"well the lion cubs were bigger than before - they grow fast so you can tell"

"That kinda makes sense"

"So you don't know your parents too huh? " Szlick asked.

"Sometimes In my dream two kind adults loved me very much and the me there was very horrible- veeery horrible,he couldn't even breathe without feeling pain".

"Wait do you know yours" Lu asked Szlick but he was lost in the thought of Dreams.

"Dreams?! huh" Szlick talked to himself while Lu was rambling on.

"Bahh!! anywaysss what exactly is yours?" Lu asked.

"Hello?? Mister Jahgger??" Lu trying to bring back faded szlick into their conversation.

"SZLICKKKK" Lu shouted.

"huh?! oh sorry, what?"

"Your powers"

"Ohh! well it's quite simple, whenever I move - in that particular momentum I am invincible - yeahh- unstoppable - aha - and speedy beyond speedy" answered Szlick in his usual demeanor.

"Cool, so like you got actual killer moves" Lu amazed and he often was amused with Szlick's eccentric style.

"Got that right! I'm a rockstar - dancer - lady's charmer - wooo" Szlick always so honest in praising himself, he likes it.

"Should wee spar now?" Lu asked, his excitement was visible.

"If you can still handle the hustle" Szlick smiled, also excited for the spar.

'Two strong rippers, unknown at that' the previous official thought. Looking at the wanted posters in the far right was Genges the giant with a 50000 deins reward. "Two strong confirmed rippers, one of them blocked Genges attacks with a flick of a finger and the other flew through his leg in a single move". " Lucy! can you find any data on the two?".

A bespectacled brown eyed black haired beauty, an assistant of the official "Yes and No sir!".

"Hmm?elaborate!"

"Sir! The one who defeated Genges with one blow is named Szlick Jahgger. Age - 20, the other one Lu is not even marked in the census of the kingdom".

" Unmarked? is he a spy?" the official said.

"It's just a hunch sir! but he somehow fit the description of the struggler in the dent"

"The struggler? impossible! the unlucky kid in the dent that the behemoth of Halhazar laid it's eyes upon...,12 years ago? "

"Yes sir! not only tried but it actually pounced and the story goes that the kid broke through the chin of the behemoth and they fell in the dents-fall, what's more bizarre is that the behemoth was never seen again and the water was died in blood, further proof is in the waters fishes down stream grew bigger and became carnivorous. Forcing the King to launch the --- blah ---- .....". Lucy the secretary/personal assistant rambled on an on.

"Struggler in the dent?! Intriguing" the official stated. Stopping Lucy's report in an instant.

"Is Wadu assigned in a mission?"

"No sir! he is in a bar right now, enjoying a break".

"Tell him he is summoned, I need a full on search and test mission for him"

"Right away sir!"

"Oh and Lucy?"

"Yes sir?!" Lucy eyes saw the official's eyes which befalls directly at her.

"I saw you, gawking at an ice cream the other day"

Lucy embarrassed "Sorry sir?!"

"Here go buy some after you're done" He handed out some deins.

"Tha--thank you sir!" Lucy blushed a little and walked away.

The scene faded and appeared at Halhazar where Lu and Szlick were at. The trees around them fell, the flat grounds abrupted in design, shallow cracks and dents on the ground. The two were going all out. Their fight, their friendly spar was like a rhythmic beat. Szlick dictates the rhythm he was fast and in each intervals of attacks he pauses for a slight - hip bustin move - . And Lu casually negates all attacks, he launched his own but the force of Lu's attacks meet with Szlick's own attacks negating each other and were nulled in all, some attacks a punch with massive shockwaves involved were dodged by Szlick, and it decimates the environment.

"You're kinda fast Szlick" Lu shouts.

"yeaaa- I don't fancy getting hit with those absurd punches" Szlick answered.

"Lemme grab you then, I wanna do a new slam - I made up" Lu said.

"Nahhh! but you can try and catch me" Szlick answered again.

"This fight is going nowhere and you can't tire" Szlick added.

"Say 'you win' " Lu childish in results.

"How about a draw? " Szlick proposes a new term, he too childish at results.

"Nooo I don't tire, I can do this all day" Lu completely disregards a draw-outcome.

"Aww come onnn, I'll show you amazing places you've never seen before" Szlick continued on persuading a draw.

"Mehhh!! I'll see them all eventually" Lu ignorant and in this instant Szlick launches a knee attack which Lu negates with a palm forward trying to grab Szlick's knee in turn.

"Woah-woah not so easy" szlick immediately, with a speed of light or maybe slightly faster withdraws a couple of feet away from Lu.

"I'll give you a deal! I'll let you say you are the leader when people asked about us" Szlick's sly deal for a draw.

"Deal!" Lu immediately answered.

'well that was easy' Szlick thought.

"I thought you wanted me to go solo. Why's the change in thoughts Lu?" Szlick asked.

"You're fun bro" Lu simply smiled and stood unguarded.

"So a draw it is" he said.

"Yeaa--you are way too crazy for me" szlick remarked Lu's strength.

"Thanks! You're very fast and strong too ya know" Lu reciprocated. Leaving Szlick to slightly feel prouder than he was before.

"So where we going?" Lu asked Szlick.

"I crave a town - girls and the booze" Szlick answered.

"Lead the away navigator" said Lu laughing care free without any consent. "Navigator" he continued laughing.

"Can you call me leader?!" Lu aksed.

Slightly annoyed Szlick answered " Don't push it".

"C'mon you're the one who said leader" Lu insisted.

"There's a time and place for everything" Szlick replied

"Pretentious" Lu replied

They looked at each other and said "Monk-mate" and laughed loud as they can be. Jolly in both nature and nature both similar a perfect duo for fun.

They walked towards town which was almost half a day walk from where they are.

In our hero destined town, Lucy walked the streets of the town, the road was made with long blocks of stones, houses were of wood and some a mixture with rocks, hinting uses of rippers powers. The theme of the town was classical fantasy, with green colored atmosphere and all in all a time set in an era of fantasy.

Lucy walked past markets, across the side road leading to the red light district, finally to the bar where Wadu was the central of attention. Inside Lucy finds flocks of men reeking of booze and ladies all around.

The loudest of them all, a soldier with no uniform, two ladies in each lap, he sat a a booth, bossy and a drink in each hand.

"Mister Wadu?" Lucy approaches and asked straight away.

"Who's asking?" said Wadu looking up at her, and his smile halted in her sight.

"I'm on my break secretary" he said.

"Is she bothering you daddy?"

"Want us to escort her out?"

The ladies on his lap were all for Wadu, they got his back, so it seemed like.

"Aww my beautiful babes"." let's first hear her out shall we?".

What follows was a barrage of kisses from the three, awkward was Lucy, also slightly disgusted.

"A - a -- search and test mission"

Lucy said.

"Huhh?!" Wadu replied.

The ladies seemed annoyed at the buzz killer.

"Search and test mission" Lucy repeated herself.

"I'm on my break, I earned this"

wadu replied.

"By order from Colonel Mustang" Lucy confidently spoke, due to the simple involvement of the Colonel's name.

"Tell the old man ---- I'm on a break" again Wadu replied abruptly, leaving a hint of bad-ass-e-ry, felt to the brim by the two ladies as they moan and hearts were shot through by a cupid.

"It's urgent Mister Wadu" Lucy calmly spoke.

"Arghhh! seems like our nation can't let a good man rest" said wadu, his every words are like barrages of arrows that made the ladies moan and fell in love with Wadu.

"My pay roll?" Wadu asked, this left the ladies in a state of pause.

"Half a million deins" Lucy replied, this time an atomic moans from the ladies loud so loud that Lu and Szlick heard it far from the forest(comedic intent).

"It's settled, also I want a 1 week vacation"

"I'll arrange it with the Colonel"

"Ladies I'm off, don't fret" Wadu as he stood up and walked towards the door he turnt back and said " I'll be back", leaving the ladies unable to stand anymore, they were on and oiled up for him and himself alone.

"Daddy I'll be waiting only for you"." We won't let any men touch us"."we love you daddy".

Leaving the bunch of men in jealousy. Wadu walked out of the bar with Lucy. He stood besides the outsides of the bar and asked "My target?"

"Targets" Lucy handed out the drawn-ed picture of Szlick and Lu.

"Szlick motherfucking Jahgger" Wadu exclaimed with a twitch of blood vessels in his forehead, giving a sign that he knew Szlick.

"You know them?" Lucy asked.

"Where?" Wadu replied.

"Hal-halhazar" Lucy felt the intensity of Wadu's aura the moment he saw the pictures.

"I'm off" Wadu said as he abruptly walked away.

"Remember it's a search and test only" Lucy shouted.

"Oh! I'll test him alright, szlick fucking jahgger" wadu said to himself.

'Damn that's rude, why assign that guy in the mission, rash and violent' Lucy thought as she looked at Wadu.

"Oh well! Duties donee, time for ice cream" She said as she licks her hot colored lips.
