Meanwhile...
"THREE SWASHBUCKLERS! WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS!" Tommy sang horribly as he strummed his guitar.
"Tommy," Cory snapped at his traveling companion. "Shut. Up."
The hunter ignored his friend and continued. "GOING NEAR THE DRAGON'S DEN! SURELY THEY ARE DOOOMMMMM!!!"
Uni's eye twitched in annoyance.
It's been a few months since we last seen the other three of the shred heroes. During those months, Cory discovered that he can shoot lighting arrows, Tommy learned that he can change his voice from an echo to a deep dark voice, and Uni found out that his mask changes as well when he changes.
They've also finally stepped out of SkyMediaton's territory and were in the middle of Crafttiron's.
The three stared at the sign of the town they will be staying for a few days.
"Sixcan," Tommy read out loud. "A town like no other and a perfect place to find a lover."
Both of his companions gave his a flabbergast look.
"What?" The hunter said, "Its just... a thing I do."
They kept staring until Cory started to laugh.
He grunted as he tugged on his shoulder bag. "Let's just go." He quickly walked away from his companions.
"Wait!" The archer called out to him, still chuckling. "Tommy! Haha.. I'm sorry!" He followed him.
Uni lingered on the sign before Cory called him out. "Just bloody wait!" He yelled back as he grabbed the wanted posters of Ashlie Nine and Jon Jest and ran to them.
_______
Tim missed Jon and Ashlie.
Beside the fact they were friends, it's been a hell since they suddenly disappeared.
First, the soldiers of Crafttiron were swarming the town for a few days. It was awful not able to go outside and have fun.
And even before they left, they put up wanted posters of Ashlie and Jon! Furious, the townsfolk ripped down any poster they find.
That was a fun afternoon.
But after that, Chad Damson kept the whole town tight. Anything fun Tim and his friends did, a punch on a face will be their reward. Laughing at a joke? Will be sent home and force to sit on the corner for 3 hours. Hell, even just just running will make Chad so mad.
Ched was much better than Chad, his friends and him concluded.
But no one saw the day where the two brothers fought each other.
A punch was delivered by Ched multiple times as the townsfolk watched the fight in horror and curiosity.
The brothers always got along and even if they fight, it never got physical.
And you won't believe why they are fighting right now.
Tim watched Chad grabbed the fist of his younger brother and threw him to the fountain.
The older brother lifted his younger brother out of the fountain by the collar. In blinding fury, he started to choke on him. "This is my town now brother! And it's my decision on how I treat the town people!" He glared at the younger man, "No one, even if they are a shred hero or my own brother, will stop me!"
"You want to bet?"
Everyone turned to the direction of the voice and on the entrance of the town, a man that was wearing an emoji mask.
Chad growled as he let go of his unconscious brother. He stepped out of fountain and pulled the same knife that stabbed Jon out of nowhere
"Don't test me emoji." The older brother spat out. "Or I'll silence you."
The mystery man chuckled and shook his head.
"Excuse me." Tim heard behind him. He stepped back and watched a man wearing a white hoodie, covering his face, stand next to him. The young boy couldn't help but stare at the hooded man, wondering why did this man look so familiar...
Chad shook in anger as he watched the man laughed. 'How dare he!' Chad thought to himself, 'I'm the greatest hunter in the god damn world! No one should laugh at Chad Damson! NO ONE!'
In blinding rage, he leapt to the masked man who was smirking at him with no panic in his eyes.
The hooded man looked at Tim and the young boy silently gasped at what he saw. The older man had a camera for a face.
The camera face gave the young lad a smirk and disappeared as fast as lighting disappears.
_______
Ched couldn't believe what was happening.
For half of his life, he admired his older brother and tried to act like him.
For half of his life, he watched his older brother treat the people of sixcan as shit and copied him when Chad left the town.
For half of his life, he never saw his older brother this mad.
For his entire life, Chad never ever tried to kill him.
In shock and awe, the younger brother watched as a hooded figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and tackled his older brother to the ground.
"I'm a distraction!" The emoji guy laughed.
The hooded figure chuckled as well as he pinned Chad. "You sure are Tommy."
"Hey, are you ok?"
Ched turned around and saw a man wearing a giraffe onesie and a pug mask, holding his hand out. Tired, the younger man accepted his help and step out of the fountain.
When he stand up, he realized that his clothes were drenched. "Great." He groaned.
The odd man noticed and snapped his finger.
Suddenly, he watched the water drying out form his clothes.
Ched, and the townsfolk, watched in amazement as the water formed into a pug.
The hooded man, who had his older brother pinned down to the ground and handcuffed, and the emoji guy that was apparently named Tommy walked up to them. "Woah. Since when can you do that Uni?" Tommy asked as he pointed at water pug.
The other man just gave the pug a poke which it replied by rippling.
The odd man, Uni, chuckled. "Since you and Cory was busy one-ing up each other and hunting for food."
'Wait.. are they..?'
Cory, he assumed thats the hooded man's name, threw his arms to the air to form a surrender gesture. "It was Tommy's fault. He was always targeting me when we all practice."
"Dudeeee, I do not." Tommy replied with a whine.
'Oh shred, they are.'
Ched couldn't help but gaped them, ignoring his brother pleas and insults to release him.
Sooner or later, the three noticed not just Ched was staring, but everyone else was as well.
"What?" Uni snapped.
"You three are—"
"The Shred Heroes!" Tim interrupted Ched.
The whole town cheered and drag the three to celebrate this day.
_______
"I love this town!" Tommy declared with a beer at his hand.
It was nighttime but the town of Sixcan was up and about. They were celebrating the arrival of the three Shred heroes.
Pretty lights were hang, laughter can be heard and music filled the town.
It was quite the party.
But just like every great party, it will end when the police suddenly appear.
And boy did the shred heroes ran.
"GUYS IM LOW! IM LOW!!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE LOW CORY?!"
"I DONT KNOW! IT JUST FEELS APPROPRIATE TO SAY RIGHT NOW!"
"I BLAME GREEN TEAMMMM!"
"TOMMY WHAT?!"
But little did they know, they were running at the same direction where Ashlie, Jon, and Nick are heading.
