Chapter 8 – Unexpected Reunion
Jason was dumbstruck that the brother he thought was dead was now in front of him. It was almost too good to be true. Jason didn’t truly believe this guy that said he was his brother; he just couldn’t fathom it.
“Why the hell should I believe you are my brother. Prove to me you are who you say you are.” Jason said questioning the suspected man.
“I am not surprised you are questioning me, after all you thought I was dead judging by your reaction. My name is Keith Robinson, your brother, I was supposed to have died five years ago in the fire from our old house, but I didn’t.”
Jason’s eyes widened when Keith told him what he did. There was no question in Jason’s mind now that the man was indeed his brother Keith. What bothered Jason the most was how he survived the fire, and subsequent explosion of their old house?
“Yes, all that is true, how did you manage to survive the blast?”
“I survived because the firefighter that was carrying me absorbed the vast majority of the blast. We managed to get to the ground before the blast and he covered me up, acting as a human fire blanket for me. I survived, but did not come out of there unscathed. The flames burnt me along my back and all along my left arm.” Keith said as he felt the burn scars along his arm. The scars extended from his left shoulder all the way down to his elbow. The scars felt like old wood because the scars have hardened over time. They were rough, rigid, and raggedy because of constant wear and tear on Keith’s part.
“That sure is am impressive tale, but why are you here Keith? It is great to see you though!” Jason wondered still trying to grasp the situation in front of him. Despite the haziness of the situation, he was happy to see his brother after all this time. Jason always felt he wasn’t dead, and here they are reuniting for the first time in five years.
“I wish I could say it was great to see you too brother, but I am here to kill you.”
Jason’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Keith’s response. Why would he want to kill me? What did I ever do to him? These questions crossed Jason’s mind.
“Why do you want to kill me?” Jason asked a little hesitant.
“All you need to know is that you will die today!” Keith yelled out towards Jason.
“But, but…”
“SHUT UP!” Keith blurted out and interrupted Jason. Keith did not want to hear what Jason had to say. In his mind, Jason did an injustice to him and now it was time for repentance.
“Are you ready for your final battle brother?” Keith said as he positioned his Konig Wolf for battle.
“If that is the way you want it.” Jason said as he readied his Zaber Fang.
“Jason, we are here. We have your back.” Brad said over a connection.
“Thanks, but not thanks. This is my battle do not get involved!” Jason yelled back. Jason still felt that the situation was a little weird. It all felt surreal to him, but he had to keep his wits about him because if he did not fight back, he would die today.
“Good, now that there will be no interruptions, here I come!” Keith said as he made his Konig Wolf charge Jason.
The Konig Wolf rushed at the Zaber Fang at good speed. It closed the distance between the two very quickly. Keith pushed the throttles forward and made the Konig Wolf perform a melee attack. Jason managed the dodge it and slid the Zaber Fang over to the side. Keith turned and fired the Multi-discharger at Jason. The shot scattered and pelted the Zaber Fang all along the right side. Smoke dissipated from the multiple holes. The shot stunned the Zaber Fang long enough for Keith to get in a melee attack. The sharp claws from the Konig Wolf shredded the Beam Cannon off the back of the Zaber Fang. The Zaber Fang crumpled to the ground from the assault.
“Jeez, you are good.” Jason said struggling to get the Zaber Fang up to its feet.
“I have been preparing for this day for a long time now. I would not be here now if I didn’t think I would kill you today!” Keith exclaimed out.
“I am NOT dying today!” Jason screamed as he got his Zaber Fang afoot.
Wires hung out along the back of the Zaber Fang where the Beam Cannon once stood, but that did not stop Jason from pursuing Keith further. He activated his boosters and equipped his Shock Cannon on the underbelly of the Zaber Fang. The Zaber Fang ran around the Konig Wolf in an attempt to flank it from the right. Jason fired the Shock Cannon and hit the Konig Wolf causing the cockpit to rattle and Keith was getting agitated. Keith turned the Konig Wolf around and gapped its mouth open. It lunged at the Zaber Fang, mouth open, and latched on to the Zaber Fang’s neck. The Zaber Fang swiped at the Konig Wolf and knocked it off its neck and placed its foot on the head of the Konig Wolf.
“You are as good as I have heard and seen brother.” Keith said almost mockingly.
“You can shut the fuck up!”
“Ohh, someone is finally upset. Looks like this will be an interesting battle after all.” Keith as he turned his Konig Wolf around on the ground enough to shoot the Multi-discharger at Jason. The shot gave Keith the time he needed to bring his Zoid to its feet.
“Let’s go ahead and take this battle to the next degree, shall we?” Keith state nonchalantly.
===============================================================
“Sir! Sir! I have some news you may want to hear!” A man dressed in soldier attire came barging in.
“Ugh…how many times must I tell you, don’t interrupt me during my break?” The man said.
“Sorry sir, but I think you this news will please you.”
“Okay, what is this ‘oh so important’ news?”
“Keith Robinson has come back, and it seems he found his brother and is fighting him now!” The man said excitingly.
“Wow that is some news. It would seem he has finally decided to go after his family. Have you found the coordinates to where he is fighting? I would really like to see how much he has improved.” The man intrigued.
“Yes sir, I will bring it up now.” The man began typing on a keyboard close to his boss and pulled up the fight against Keith and Jason.
“Hmm, so it is true. You really have comeback Keith. This is good; this will really help put my plan into action. I will sit back and watch this battle between you and your brother, but tomorrow we will reunite and you will get you own ‘blast from the past’.” The man said reclining back into his chair, taking a sip of wine.
===============================================================
Both Jason and Keith were pushed to their limits out on the battlefield. They were in a fight for their lives. Both the Zaber Fang and Konig Wolf were on the ground, functional, but motionless due to their last exchange. Both Zoids were a shell of their former self. One of the Konig Wolf’s Multi-dischargers was ripped off; leaving the electrical wires to dangle. Along with the Beam Cannon that was torn off earlier, the Zaber Fang now has a limp in its left front leg. This significantly decreases the Zaber Fangs’s mobility.
“Huff…huff, goddammit, this is getting difficult. My mobility is nearly shot, but at least I got one of his shotguns” Jason said kind of tired from the battle against Keith.
“Huff…huff, no lie, I may be tired, but that still won’t stop me from killing you! Here I come!” Keith said charging at Jason.
The Konig Wolf came charging at the Zaber Fang at great speed. The Konig Wolf lunged at the Zaber Fang with claws extended and the intent to kill. As the Konig Wolf came down to strike, the Zaber Fang pivoted and hopped backwards, dodging the potential blow. Jason followed up the dodge with a quick shot from his Shock Cannon into Konig Wolf’s front and hind legs on the right side causing the Zoid to buckle under the weight.
“It’s time to put an end to this…” Jason said activating his boosters and sending his Zaber Fang into a wide sweeping motion. He was moving in for a variation of the Tandem Claw used by him and Brad, except this time he was flying solo. Everything was in place for Jason to strike. Jason turned the Zaber Fang around and ran towards the right side of the crumpled over Konig Wolf. The Zaber Fang lunched forward and brought its arm out to slice the Konig Wolf from tail to head, hoping to take off the other Multi-discharger in the process. As Jason swung the arm of the Zaber Fang, Keith activated the left side booster. This gave Keith enough power to dodge Jason’s attack. Keith followed up his attack with a shot from his Multi-discharger taking out the left hind leg of the Zaber Fang.
“But…how? How did you dodge my attack?” Jason was awestruck.
“Brother, you are very predictable. I have seen all of your previous battles and I figured you would try that move. That and you have been attacking me from my left side all battle, whether I was facing you or not. Now you will die…” Keith said slowly approaching Jason.
“So this is where it all ends huh? Life over before it truly ever started.” Jason said to himself.
Keith got to Jason and raised the claw of his Konig Wolf. “Now, Jason, time for you to di-“ Keith said before he was interrupted by a shot that crashed into the ground in between him and Jason.
“What the hell?! You!” Keith yelled out knowing who it was.
“I know you told us to stay out of this Jason, but it is not your time to die yet.” Naomi said; smoke dissipating around her new Sniper Tail.
“UGH! You are one lucky bitch, if my Zoid was still 100% functional, your ass would be mine!” Keith yelled from frustration. Keith retracted the claw of his Konig Wolf, and back away from Jason, figuring he would never get a chance to take Jason out with his teammates still around.
“You are lucky this time Jason, but next time you WILL die. Better get your last prayers in because you do not when I will be back.” Keith turned his Konig Wolf around and walked away into the setting sun.
“Don’t count on that too much Keith…”
Jason was dumbstruck that the brother he thought was dead was now in front of him. It was almost too good to be true. Jason didn’t truly believe this guy that said he was his brother; he just couldn’t fathom it.
“Why the hell should I believe you are my brother. Prove to me you are who you say you are.” Jason said questioning the suspected man.
