Chapter 4:A new Ally

.....

The two turned on the tv and connected it to the PlayStation.

They began to play injustice gods among us while they sat on futons in there matching green pagamas

They cut the cake placed it on a small coffee table they found and emptied seven soda cans before they new it...

The two where sweaty gaming and had staid on the same position playing injustice for ten hours

The radiant of there smells where all over the room and every bug that flew into the room just dropped to the ground after a few seconds

"Don't do that I'll use my fatal blow if you continue backing me by the corner Keith...!!!"

"Haa....like I'll ever fall for that, the stupid thought you had of using Batman against Aquaman was what got us in this situation..."

Keith backed James in the corner and repeatedly using the same move to insure that James could not excape

Thus irritated James because it was going on for the past 10 hours and all the time James was forced to use his fatal blow to get out of the corner

The two got trapped by the game food and drink that they lost track of time and they lowered their guard

Meanwhile behind them a shadowy figure emerged with a metallic baseball bat getting closer to them

They only noticed it when the shadow loomed over the television

They both where jump scared and shocked.they both had a stroke for a second before they noticed that the person might have been the owner of the house

Keith tried to explain what was going on but got soaked in the head with the bat

"Wait we are friends not enemy...we thought the owner of the house died..."

James tried to explain the situation but was also smacked

James was knocked out after the first strike but Keith persisted a little longer

"Ah...(moan)...that really hurt man...damn..."

The person that hit them wore a large winter coat with winter equipment and face was covered by snow glasses and scarfs

The person started removing the thick clothing off and to Keith's surprise it was a girl not that far from his age

She had brick red hair with an orange hair color on the ends of each hair follicle

She was 5 foot 8 and had the most beautiful face Keith had ever saw. Her bust size also surprised Keith as well

"So you two idiots had the audacity to just get into someone's house just because you thought I had died...hmmm....normal scavenger behavior...."

"Ah it's not like that we waited for about two days now and..."

"Can it...I've got no time get dressed and leave..." She was furious to see the cake she worked on just eaten by scavengers she didn't even know

"If you tell me the truth now you scavenger...I'll spare both your lives..."

She glared at Keith and unconscious James with the bat on her hand spinning it around

"Uhm...well you see my name is Keith he is James we met each other about six days ago or so...we are on our way to Denver Colorado to the mediators library...we want to retrieve James old memories and..."

Keith then explained their situation and all the trials they faced till that moment and added some spice to make the girl laugh about so that she could let her gaurds down a little

She then put her baseball down and got closer to Keith. He didn't know what exactly was happening but in a matter of seconds she punched him and he flew all the way to the kitchen

"Ah...that really hurt why'd you do it I just told you the truth..." He was stuck in shock even though she had believed him a while ago

"Oh that's just revenge for cake no worries...it just took me a while to make you know ingredients aren't easy to find..."

Keith understood her pain and asked if he could help her back another cake

.....

James eyes stated to open up again. He found himself covered by a thin blue blanket on a couch

Keith and Zora Neale( the name of the girl) where on the console playing Call of Duty Black ops ii multiplayer split screen

'Uh...looks like he got to her but wait what game is that...' he thought to himself

He stood up holding his head which was aching so badly. And got closer to the two

"How are you able to play split screen on such a small television..."

Zora and Keith just looked at James with a disappointed expression on their faces. And just kept playing the game

"Looks like you finally woke up it took you a while..." Keith exasperated

"Oh yeah how long was I even out for..."

"Ten days you took a long time I actually thought I had killed you..." Zora says with a huge smile on her face sarcastically

"Yeah like I believe that if I was out for ten days how come the cake is on the exact place I left it and cut the exact same way as before..."

Keith and Zora then turned back and saw that James had noticed the cake they backed just a while ago and got surprised to see that he memoriezed the exact place the cake was on

"Well that's a new cake and I cut it up the exact same way as before..."

James looked at Keith and disagreed at the fact that he could place the cake in the exact same spot and cut it in the exact same way

"Yeah I believe you..."

Keith glared at James and the two gave each other heavy glares for a moment

"Hey James right..." Zora asked with excitement

"Yeah I never got your name though miss..."

"It's Zora...Zora Neale...want to join us...Keith sucks at this he only had fourty three kills and I just hit one hundred and twenty...maybe your a better player..."

'Hmmm she stays here she owns that console and she Is also able to sweat the... scratch that more than Keith and I did a while ago...that means she's probably a pro by now...should I take the bait Boeing that I'm a noob...' James thought very carefully while stroking his chin

"Ah but there are only two controllers how can I join..." He says very happily 'though she might make Keith and I swap each time we lose but it's worth a try...' he thought

"Well in that tv stand behind there, there are a number of customized controllers I scavenged pick your favourite and come join in..." She smiled very minaically like she prepared her self for this exact day

'Huh...'"Uhm well you see..."

Her smile got even larger

"Unless your a chicken..."

Both Keith and James got triggered by that word it was the exact same one she used on Keith during James' knock out. Ith the boys burned in fury

James did not hesitate to go to the tv sat f and get a controller. Once he open the drawer he saw a number of controllers of different colors and styles

He got a yellow controller with Cratos on it then before closing the drawer he thought maybe the other drawers also have other cool looking controllers

He opened the next drawer and to his amazement it was a glass controller with gold buttons. It was like he was staring at the world's greatest treasure

He dropped a single tear and was about to pick up the controller

"Hey get away from Sam..."

Zora threw her Sandle at James and it hit him on the back of his head

"But you said I get any controller..."

Zora stood up and walked towards James with murderous eyes and smoke coming out of her mouth like she was about to breathe fire

James immediately got terrified and just got the Cratos controller and went to the tv and connected it to the console

"See I'm ready unless you the one chickening out here..." He says trembling

Zora's facial expression changed and she put a huge smile on her face again

"Okay if your both ready let's start..."

James turned his face to Keith and started imaginaing the horrendous things that Zora did to him as he was unconscious

"Do t worry I survived bro...I survived..." Keith dropped a tear while looking back at Keith

James also dropped a tear and the two began to cry while hugging each other

"Wait you two are really close where you childhood friends before the Apocalypse..."

"Uhm I don't remember my past that much..." James strokes his head

"Well I also forgot my childhood because of how traumatic it was...I don't really want to remember..." Keith emmited some depressed aora in the room that caused Zora and James to rethink about the game

"Anyway the free for all is about to start..."

The three got serious and picked their favourite weapons. Zora picked a sniper rifle, James picked a shot gun and Keith picked a heavy amo assault rifle

The game began and the three looked very intensly at the tv. They drunk the remaining soda and at pieces of the cake as time went by.

.....

All the soda finished the cake was just a spoon scoop always from finishing and the threes eyes got stern from all the playtime they had

Although they played for three hours straight James was killed by Zora like a mouse to a cat first she played with him by shooting half of his life the letting him get away and regain his life..

Following him again and head shooting him to die instantly

Keith had half of Zora's kills and James had half Keith's kills

Zora was at 1260, Keith 630 and James at 315

The game had ended and James'expression was quite depressing Keith was in mental pain but didn't want to show it Zora on the other hand gloting at her supremacy

James sstood up and walked outside where it began raining for a while

"Wait it's raining outside and the number of demons while rapidly increase just by the scent of a human..." Zora stood up and tried to stop James with a very worried look on her face line this had happened to her before

Keith stopped her and told her to watch

James moved several metres away from the house. And used his ability to summon a large sword with flames in the middle of the rain

Several fruit demons of different species surrounded him with a single high end

James began shouting and leaped for the high end. He began a furious battle with it while the fruit demons followed him up from the back

"Wait aren't we going to help him..." Zora looked terrified and tried to go out but Keith blocked her exit

Zora lost hope and thought Keith wanted to sacrifice James

Knowing that Keith's ability could create illusions In his enemies minds she couldn't defeat him even if she tried

James leaped back and the fruit demons got misdirected and all fell on the high end. All the demons where cleverly pit in the same direction by James movement

He leaped back and began shouting

"Forbidden technique the divine sword of justice...Divinity strike!!!!!"

He slashed his sword and a very emense power of the swing vapourised everything in its path. The demons, buildings and trees behind the buildings all got vapourised and the ground too was quite damaged

Zora saw this great power and was stuck in a transe of shock and awe

Keith just smiled and the reliezed the cause of this energy outbreak

'Shit I almost forgot James is a sour loser...I do t think Zora understands what's going on though...'

James walked I to the house with his clothes all soaked

He was smiling very awkwardly and entered the house

"Uhm...I'm going to take a shower well I am soaking after all then we can continue our game right Keith and Zora is that fine with you..."

"Uhm...yeah go take a bath maybe we will even change the game to injustice if you'll like..." Zora said with a low tone

"Uh not injustice Keith really sucks at it he only wind the first round via using one move all the time the loses the rest when I get serious...but COD seems great...it's the only game I'm losing..."

Keith and Zora git surprised at James

" But why don't you want to win...any game..." They both Said

"Well my dad always told me if your playing a game and your not losing change the game losing is better than winning because when you lose the only thing you wish to do is win..."

James walked into the bathroom and began bathing
