Narrow Ravine Of Choices

He was a young boy, Among the entire crowd of these countless people he was the only one who stood equally to shaizu In height.

Unlike the reflecting eyes of other people this kid seemed like he had rusty rocks, he lacked a smile on his face, he looked somewhat pale.

Shaizu was leaning on the ground from the constant pain in his ears.

"Crap I have to do something about this buzzing sound in my ears or my head will explode!"

Shaizu tried looking up at the boy who stood in distance.

"Oye, are you the one who's been calling to me?"

"Well.. At least you're someone more realistic than these freaks in the crowd who only know how to smile in every condition"

"What's wrong?"

Shaizu slowly approached the kid, he wanted answers, But only thing he heard was that paining voice growing louder, the boy just stood there staring at him. He really was different from the crowd, only he could notice shaizu unlike others, But instead of deciding to answer anything he vanished from shaizu's sight and Disappeared slowly into the gathering crowd.

With each step taking the boy away, the sound also slowly calmed down. Shaizu could finally have a breather from all the strange pain he noticed.

"Sighs, and there he ran off again. this is clearly a very rude way to respond to someone who'd answered your call."

"Give me a break I'm not so free you know? I have to go check on earth too.. I'm worried about my family."

"But this makes me worried even more, I need to do something about this first, trusting Mano and Kano with earth is the only option."

Shaizu pulled out a round sphere type of gadget and it slowly started shining, it was supposed to be a communicator given by his mother incase he needed to contact her. But this device proved itself useless by not letting anyone to contact through it.

"Geez, even you? It's like anything lands on this planet will start ignoring me."

"Just what is on this planet? First my telepathy was blocked and now I can't even receive any signals to contact the headquarters."

"Can't assume this planet has negative energy that blocks others from contacting outside, or that kid wouldn't have been able to send a signal to me either.

"So is there someone who's purposely stoping me from connecting with the headquarters? I'm worried about Mano and Kano on Earth."

Shaizu decides to follow the trails of that signaling kid, he could only hope to find something from him. As he left the crowding place and people, he came across a very narrow run down street, the walls were high enough to stop the eyesight reaching the very top.

The chilly wind didn't stop bringing chilly feelings with it, it was as if someone or something had been eyeing on shaizu from the giant blue crystals attached to the soaring walls.

Hmm, I don't like this, someone's stalking me and I don't appreciate this, guess becoming popular is not so fun.

The chilly feeling keeps chasing him all the way till he reaches a strange dead end. It's like a giant man made out of Crystals had shattered into many pieces, as he goes a there are more statues made out of the same crystal, in their huge hands each holds a shield, although they're not going to protect anyone since they're all broken down. Among all these broken soldiers stands another giant statue, he has beaten them all in size declaring itself the largest there is. This stand sits in the middle as it holds a huge hammer made out of blue boulders, unlike other fallen statues this one stays in it's pristine condition.

"Eh, did someone through a tantrum and broke all his homies? Well good luck staying alone now."

Shaizu walks past it while staring at it amazed. He's wondering where might have the kid gone. There doesn't seem to be any place he could go from here. The walls here are short and sky is more clear, but they're still too high to be climbed by a kid. The giant statues are also blocking the 3 different paths standing in his way as well so there's no way out.

But the boy isn't standing there either, It's a mystery.. Until shaizu remembers he can fly.

"Ah crap! I can't believe I didn't thought of it before, what if he'd just flown out of there from the start, I could have done the same!"

I basically just trapped myself here and wasted time, he slaps her forehead. Before he could fly out he notices a strange presence reaching out to him at the speed of light.

KRRRAAAAAAAA!

A Deafening voice comes out.

The voice spoke some words out but there was no one seen to be talking, shaizu looked everywhere in the middle of the giant cornering walls.

"What the? What's going on? Shelter myself? Calamity is that a riddle?"

"It's mentioning sides, does that mean I'm not the only one in this game? It's highly possible!"

"If it is then I Happen to be expert on breaking riddles." Shaizu grows a big as his arms are crossed.

"Hmm 'throw the Stones' or 'shelter thyself' if I threw the stones, the one I'll throw the stones at will be the side calamity will go to."

"At least that's what they want me to think, if I'm able to shelter myself and it's supposed to protect me, the other side will be protected similarly"

"If I sheltered myself.. I'll be.."

"I got this.. Throw the stones!"

As soon as shaizu speaks the giant statue that had been resting on the middle with a hammer made out of boulder let's it's eyes shine open.

It's crumbling legs shake the ground as it stands up. It's giant, way giant than shaizu or the 11 feet taller people, it's as if it's a giant mountain. The statue now readies it's giant hammer to strike.

"Ah cr*p, I messed up!" Shaizu finds himself under the giant shadow of the statue.
