Keeper Of Tartarus

Cursing myself for the drastic attack. I check for broken bones and surprisingly this chic is still intact except for some bruises, which is healing quickly.

'-sigh- weirder and weirder well after all she'd taken care of me I suppose I can stay until she wakes up, after that I'm done here'

Lifting her up I check for any mattress for her to lay down, 'hmmm not a bad cabin' the cabin is of three rooms, the kitchen which we demolished, a bedroom with a bath. I lay her down on the bed, moving on to check the third room, which is not what I expected…

"holy shit!!" the room's filled with various types and kinds and models of weapon, the room is stacked with guns, bullets, bombs, swords, armor and other peculiar weapons.

'What is she going to do with all this?' while browsing through one of them caught my interest; a gauntlet, as for those who do not know what a gauntlet is, it is like knuckle-duster. However, the gauntlet is a full cover like a full glove up to my full forearm but sturdier and deadlier like a knuckle-duster.

These are ancient form of weapon that enhances the close fist-to-fist combat but with deadly blows, as an average gauntlet makes the user's blows 15 times more powerful.

Wearing the gauntlet on it gave me a strange feeling. Because firstly, it glowed, and it felt as if, it is a living creature and as if the gauntlet is c.a.r.e.s.sing my hand, treasuring the feel of someone familiar.

Wearing it I practiced air punches, the punches were swift, my hands feel like cutting through air like a laser sharp blades, my hands move like a well-oiled super-fast pistons with ease and complete control.

"Ha-ha I love this thing" and I feel the gauntlet c.a.r.e.s.s my hand as if it's being petted "ha-ha you love this too huh? Well let's see how fast we can go?" saying so I hiked up speed and perform complex chain attacks.

My ears were awarded with the faint slicing sound that one hears when you perform a superfast combo on a well-made Japanese sword, feeling indispensable, now I want to test its power.

There is an extremely sturdy punching bag in the corner of the room, when I take my stance I feel my bucker growling

Left-right-left-right-right elbow-left punch-right power punch

The punching bag busted, like a blast, like all the power of my strike added in. the bag could not hold it, as the impact released from the first blow twisted inside dealing damage until the energy could release through rupturing the sturdy bag.

I was toying; I was not at even through my 10% speed or power

Another interesting entity of the room caught my attention, there is a stone cube of 3 meters height, width and depth, its and impressive single piece stone and my gauntlet started to snarl again, like it wants me to hit it, believing in my gauntlet.

I take the stance, the growling increases due to anticipation. I close my eyes to perform a fist combo called "the clawed dragon" the technique involves slightly curved punches, straight punches and multiple fast punches dealing a wider angle of damage and crushing the torso of the opponent without knocking him over, the power of these punch doesn't radiate throughout the body.

It just destroys the impacting surface, but these are not the only punches in the combo. for every 15 punches there is a high powered right or left impacting the entire being not knocking him down, but knock his senses down as his whole body will vibrate and the high power punch increases for every 15 punches as 1 and for the next 15 as two and so on.

I let out a hard breath and close my fist and eyes here goes

Left-right-multiple succession-right-left-high-powered right…the rock starting to crack

Right-left-multiple succession-left-right-high-power left elbow-high powered right elbow… the crack travel deeper in the rock

75punches… the rock block is cracked, throughout with craters on the front

High-powered right high powered left-double elbow-double fist-spinning superman right

A loud crumbling noise, I open my eyes to see in there not a block of rock but a pile of rubble before me

-Clap- I turn to see Alexia all awake and in pristine condition like she never been through a fight which just happened an hour ago, "I knew you would use the gauntlet first, you are so predictable"

"But you are not Ale, what is all this? What is this weapon room for? Why are we here?"

"-Sigh- David there is an answer for all, but you are not at the capacity to listen, the ancient weapons drains spiritual aura. Though you may not feel it you are about to pass out, come on have something to eat"

"It's late I least need to inform my girlfriend she will be worried"

"After you eat that is"

"I'm getting sick of your psycho games, I need to talk to her now for god knows when, I haven't seen her since I came to gym and I don't know what time it is now"

"She won't be worried David I promise"

"Zip it weirdo either I get to talk to her or I am out of here"

"Please David listen to me, please trust me"

"I do alexia. I really do, else I won't waste my breath on you, but things are really freaking me out and I need to talk to my girlfriend now! And that's final; I don't care what the consequences will be"

"you asked for it David" while I enjoy my victory of my first argument with a female, I remembered a wise man once told me to always go with the flow, that's a good advice friends, even now, cause nothing could have prepared me for what alexia showed.

How would I say this, Alexia transformed into my girlfriend, literally, her hair turned black, her face became the cute oval shaped which I love about her, her lips became full and soft which is my major turn on and my girlfriends hypnotic eyes became prominent, my girlfriend could always lock anyone in a stare.

I could not voice any thought, I just started in disbelief and she teared with hopeful eyes.

"Please don't hate me David, we had to be watchful over you, you are is something important beyond the universe, but we always loved you, please forgive us"

I feel a little buzz at the back of my brain and it intensified and intensified until I could concentrate on nothing else and I fainted watching her watered eyes shocked to see me going out of my senses.

-Some time later-

"My, my, you have a knack to knock yourself out cold, don't u? Hey, Ale is this really our guy? He faints like a princess. Do I have to train this mushy pie?"

I was termed a low life, and defenseless by a talking frog, yeah you heard me rite, a talking frog. Just about size of both of my palms, 'seriously, I'm going to squash him if it opens its mouth again'

"Tough words sleeping beauty, I rather not add the beauty part though, comparatively I look much better"

"Great that can read my mind too"

"Hey no 'it or that', though I may look like a frog, I'm a person, haven't you heard of lycans before? In addition, for you weakling, you are to address me master Khamayutho."

"Think you can take me? You, little runt and where was that threat you were thinking about, take a swing at me you weakling"

"Oh I'm going to love squeezing the life out of this one" with that I try to stamp the frog dead flat and *swish* it's gone

"Hey boyo look up" the frog is sitting on my head,

"Ewwww gross get out of my head you stinking toad"

"that does it you brat, now you are being racist and for your information I'm a mountain frog, the s.e.xiest of our kind" with the words out it popped up, literally into a full size frog man and used a kick, a full pulled back foot to the c.h.e.s.t kick that knocked all the air out of my lungs.

"That's enough Khamayutho, we need to train him not kill him"

"Humph I was just doing that and he need to be trained on his manners and discipline too"

"David he's your new tutor Khamayutho, the legendary frog master of fighting arts"

"You heard that runt, a thought of an insult and your a.s.s will be handed to u, and it isn't a pretty scene considering that's your ass"

"Great a talking frog is going to train me, but Ale, I've come to grips you've been my girlfriend in disguise, what's all this about and? Why do I need training? What was that that is after me? What is all this shit is? I promise I won't faint"

Another voice enters the room, "well boyo she necessarily need not be Sarah" and I see Sarah the real Sarah behind me handing me a cup of whatever that is

"Drink, it'll make you less tense" and so I drank the weird tasting liquid, it is not bad, just weird.

"Well I am Sarah as you know and she's Ale, we are what one would call us connected souls we are the daughters of the great sorceress Odyssey. During our birth once we were born, I was rapidly losing my pulse and I was dying. Our mother anchored my soul to my twin, Alexia, we share the same body, least used to until I could conjure myself a body. However, being just a soul entity, I'm easily able to tap into my soul's abundant energy. My mother being the legendary sorceress, I mastered the art of sorcery and spell casting. We are formidable opponents when spilt and invincible when merged, I will be teaching you sorcery and spell casting."

" ummm that's a lot to take in, so you are saying you and Ale are the same but are not, like two parts of a puzzle, together makes one, but there is actually two different parts, right?"

"Ha you always cut to the chase, I don't know about you Ale but his intelligence and understanding had always been a turn on to me.

After all to be a sorcerer one needs lots of intelligence and understanding and putting a complex thing into simple terms, I'm so going to have great fun with him"

"Mmmmhmm", "well since you mentioned 'turn on' which one of you was having s.e.x with me all this time?"

For which both the girls turned visibly red and busied themselves with nothing serious.
