Cassius: Life's Lesson

[Neo Zanther]

This story is for the char Cassuis that Opal sent me to write a background story on how he lost his left arm for winning the Thingy Game. Please excuse the spelling errors as I don't have spellchecker anywhere on my computer :)



Cassius was at his favorit bar that night. The night that he lost his left arm. As with most of the people, there, he was drunk. And this made him more cocky then usuall. It didn't take long before he begain to challange people to fights. He was a ery good figher. He was one of the best around the area. This gave him an attatude of being the best and was always chllanging people to fights.

After defeating afew people, his big mouth got him inot something that would change his life forever. "Isn't there anyone here that can make me break a sweat?"

"Someone who thinks highl of himself, huh. I live to fight people like you. I test them to see if they have what it takes to ven be fighers. I've been hearing of you Cassius. Now lets see if you do deserve to be a figher." A women soon stepped up. She was thin and weak looking to Cassius.

"You expect me to fight you? You're just a girl. You stand no chance.", said Cassius.

The stranger didn't like this comment at all. "It's people like you who got me into fighting. And it's people like you who I defeat and cause them never to fight again. You will pay for your words." Then the women soon took up a fighting stance.

Cassius now had no choice but to go into his. The look on her face made him abit uneasy. However, he was the best figher around. He would take her down. He charged at her with one of his starting moves. She easly defended aginst it. No big supprise to Cassius. Half of the people he fight usually defend aginst it. He then tried something more advanced. This time she defended aginst it again. "She's better then most.", he thought. "But still, she's no match for me." Now cassius tried one of his stronger moves out. This time not only did she block it but counteread using one of her own attacks. And it hit hard. Cassius was supprised but fustrated just the same. "You got lucky.", he said.

"Why are guys always afraid to say what they really know as the truth? Don't worry, you'll know and speak the truth about female fighers soon enough." Then she started her offensive. Cassius was trying his best to block. She was fast. Even his blocking were just bairly keeping him from getting hurt. "Are you even trying to defend yourself?", she said.

Now Cassius was very annoyed. She was mocking him. He decided to use one of his best moves. He charged at her. "Big mistake." she said. Jus as he was begining his attack she grabbled his arm and turned around. Her elbow then came down onto his upper left arm. Then came the sound of breaking bone. Not just one sound but several. Almost like popcorn. Cassius screamed in pain.

"That my cocky friend was the sound of your bone turning into dust. You'll never use that arm again."

Cassius didn't know what to think. All he was thinking about was the pain in his arm. But soon he was able to push it to the back of his mind. He had to beat her. His reputation was on the line. Her guard was down. He charged at her. However he had forgotten his left arm was nolonger working and so didn't move with the attack and was easly blocked and he soon found himself on the floor. She gave a swift kick to his stomic and sent him flying back.

"So, still have some fight in you. Most would of given up by now. Afew have tried to keep going."

Cassius got back onto his feet and charged her again. Again he found himself on the ground and kicked.

"Dam it!", he said to himself. "I will not loose to a girl. But this bum arm is not helping. It's just getting in the way. Time to take out the trash." Since his arm had already lost most of it's feeling and didn't have much for bone left, he grabbed it and begain to twist and pull like he was trying to rip a steak apart. With one big burst of strenght, he ripped his left arm off and threw it aside. His arm begain to bleed badly now. But he didn't mind. Now he could fight again. He charged again. He swing his right arm. Again she guarded agins it. But this time he brought up his left leg and kicked her in the leg. She was supprised abit. He then tried to attack again but his body didn't seem to respond. Soon he blacked out and collasped onto the ground.

Cassius opened his eyes. For a moment he was confussed to where he was. Then he reconized that he was in a hospitl room. For the moment, he was alone. He tried to sit up using his arms but couldn't. He then remembered he was missing his left arm. He was not very happy now. He scaned the room. There were afew flowers and cards there already. One card caught his eye. It pictured a wounded figher he opened it.

"I must say I'm impressed. You are the first to show that much determination and change in attempted fighting style after being disabled. You can still go far. You have much to learn still. I give you my blessing to keep on fighting."

Give him her blessing? Cassius threw the card in anger. He didn't need her blessing. He would train again. He would learn how to use his legs for fighting. He will find her again. He will win next time.

Interesting. Although it's probably worth mentioning that there are a ton of typos. It was a little graphic as well, and not everyone can read something like that.

This made me smile ^^


The only part that shocked me was how he ripped off his own arm.
