3. Mr. Smiles

After the reappearance of a familiar face, Ron has to decide either to, trust this mysterious being or Take another volatile approach.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!"

I Your Friend

- Ron Sighs

"That's not what I want to hear." Ron said

~ After a few seconds of stare downs, IT finally spoke...

- After emitting a Strange sound, it said....

"Please forgive me, I had to step in when I did. The group that was with you are highly skilled in the art of lying. They are good at it because they stay in a group. They carefully plan as a team to ensure they are successful."

- Surprised and confused, Ron decided to stay calm.

"Ok so you can talk." Ron said

"Yes sorry, but as a cosmic traveler I have to adapt to the environment and try to not say or do too much, to stay aware and safe, I change my speech and how i respond. In simpler words, I act stupid."

"Ok, so what your saying is all that "In here, I YOUR ONLY FRIEND" thing was you acting stupid?" Ron asked

"Well, yes and no. For starters, I say that to let you know I'm not a threat to you, but at the same time, letting you know I don't trust you just yet."

"Right. Not to be mean or anything but why are you smiling?" Ron asked

- After a moment of hesitation and silence, HE answered.....

"Well, it's my normal face, I know it's a little different from your species but it's not a facial expression, it's like that all the time. Think of it as the opposite of your face. So, when you smile, I don't. My smiling face is like your current face and your smiling face is my natural face."

"Ok, that's a little weird but I forget your not like me." Ron replied

"I knew your energy was good. Your at times, understanding.That's why they chose you."

"Really?, anyway, what's your name?"

"Name?, Hm. I don't have one but I'm known in other universes as "Mr. Smiles."

"I see that" Ron said

- A few seconds later, a loud gust of wind blew across the room.

"Ok, so what's going on here, With me you and those other guys"

Yes, Well if they haven't told you, they are traveling around universes. They may have told you who they were and who I might be. What they didn't tell you was, they are very skilled fighter, hand to hand fighting if you will. They are very deceitful. Because if they unpredictable nature, I try to stay close while staying unnoticed and at a distance."

"Fighters, huh." Ron said

"You have to understand the situation now. I acted when I did because they were striking you. They were very close to corrupting your mind and soul."

- A look of confusion overcame Ron

"What are you talking about" Ron said confusingly

- Mr. Smiles sighs

"Ok, the container that they placed in front of you, that required your DNA, it was really a highly advanced soul stealing machine. They trick you but not taking care of it, leaving it rusty, but the gears and technology inside it, is very clean and new. They keep it updated. They your need DNA to access your genetic history, therefore, your soul and mind is theirs. Your spit was just a cover up, they only required your blood. In other words, they trick you into helping them steal your mind and soul. They aren't skilled Fighters for nothing"

"SHIT!, I was about to die."

"Indeed. That's why they see what i do as a major threat. Not everything they told you was a lie, they only switched it around a little, they are the ones that don't like anything good not me"

"I see, so why do they call you a Light Beast." Ron asked

"Light Beast, they still call me that. Well, that name has a lot to do with the room we're in now, but I do have a more, "Beastly" side."

"Ok, so do the Night Fighters have a Beastly side as well?" Ron asked

"Not really, that's why they stay in a group, they try to stay ahead of their prey."

~ Ron had a concerned look on his face

"I gave them my DNA, what can they do with it?" Ron asked

"Not to worry, that container was my first priority, it blew up right before I transferred you here."

- Ron sighs

"That's good to know. So, the question remains, how will I get back to my reality?" Ron asked

"As of now, that's probably not a good idea, with the presence of the Night Fighters, they will surely take a more aggressive approach the next time we meet, so for now, I will be protecting you."

"I heard that before" Ron said

~ Trying to keep the trust if Ron, Mr. Smiles took a moment to respond.

"I'm sure you have, but don't worry, I want your return to your universe, your reality, as well. First, we must deal with the threats of the Night Fighters, then we could work on getting you back. But you see, the Night Fighters aren't our only problem"

"Ok...wait.. what do you mean"

"There are other threats out there. This universe is crawling with evils your probably not ready for, let alone ready to see. That's why you need protection. In other words, your mot going home just yet, it won't be so easy."

- As Ron slowly became more hopeless, Mr. Smiles tried to reassure him it will be possible for his safe return.

"All hope is not lost"

"Yeah, but don't I need a weapon o you some kind." Ron asked

~ Before Mr. Smiles could respond, a giant explosion overcame the sky of the room, and another explosion appeared more closely to Ron and Mr. Smiles....

"SHIT!.... NOT AGAIN!!!....."

- Mr. Smiles emitted a high pitch screech, as he moved closer to Ron to try to protect him.

"GET DOWN FRIEND!!!!, AND REMEMBER, In here, I YOUR ONLY FRIEND!, STAY AWAY FROM THE LIGHT!!!!...."

"WHATS GOING ON HERE!" Ron Screamed

"THIS ROOM IS BEING ATTACKED BY THE NIGHT FIGHTERS!, NOT TO WORRY, YOUR SAFETY IS MY TOP PRIORITY. STAY CLOSE AND OUT OF THE FIGHT. IT'S ABOUT TIME I FINISH THIS RECKLESS PROBLEM!!!"

- Mr. Smiles' smile faded.

~ Not having a way to defend himself, Ron had no other option but to listen to this otherworldly entity known as Mr. Smiles, as he try to keep him safe from the evil group known as Night Fighters. Will Ron witness Mr. Smiles, "Beastly" Side?.. Only time will tell.
