Chapter 40 - Operation: Unfair Ass Kickin'

The big guy was absolutely furious with what transpired. He'd never seen such disrespect towards him from anyone. Especially from a woman, and a child. He grasped the tiles, and ripped one out of the ground with ease. The faces on the worker and Arthur, drop instantly when they both see this.

"How dare you! You little shit!" the guy swings the tiles at Arthur's face, he dodges it and hides behind a shelf. 

The girl punches him square in the face. His face doesn't even move at all. In fact, her knuckles were bruised. And some of her fingers weren't in the best of shape. He looks at her with rage in his eyes. Getting ready to murder her with one punch.

Just then, Braxton comes flying in with a kick straight to his head. He then uses his leg to jump off him, and backflip. He lands perfectly and looks awesome while doing it. Arthur gives him an applause from behind the shelf; just barely dodging another thing flying at his skull. It went so fast that Arthur couldn't even tell what it was. Almost like the thing was some sort of bullet, about to blow his head clean off.

The guy swung his arms swiftly at Braxton's legs, but he managed to jump over them with minimal effort. 

"Yo! When the fuck did you learn all that?!" Arthur was genuinely shook. 

"I took a bunch of self defense classes a while ago!" HE says while kicking the guy in the stomach. "I also… like… dancing… sometimes!" He blurted out as quickly as he could, and then went back to kicking this guy repeatedly.

The guy was starting to have enough of that. So he whips out his gun, and shoots him in the leg. 

He flops to the floor writhing in pain and agony. Feeling like his leg was on fire. Arthur's face dropped once more, not realising they had to actually take this seriously.

The blood was seeping through his pant legs really fast. He was hyperventilating, not knowing what to do at the moment. The fear though, because the worker is here! She rushed past the big man, dodging some of his blows, and over to where Braxton was tightly holding his leg. She knelt down to his level, and ripped off the end of his left pant leg. Making a pseudo-bandage out of it, she coaxes him to let go of his leg for a second, and she could wrap the bandage over the wound. 

The guy tries to stop all of this from conspiring, but Ethan finally comes in to save the day. He dives an uppercut towards his jaw. Teeth immediately fly out on impact, and blood shows up too. The guy coughs up a whole bunch of stuff, and is holding his jaw with his left hand. Making sure to stay locked on whoever did such a thing to him. He was looking around, pointing his pistol at anything that looked like a person, just to get pummeled in the head by Arthur once again. The impact didn't really do much, but it did disorient the guy just enough for Ethan and Arthur to start beating the living hell out of the guy together. Each punch from one of them, the other one landing right after. The only problem with this plan, is the fact that the person getting jumped has to react to the blows.

He grabs them both by their head, and lifts them up to his eye level. Without even looking at either of them; he says: "you guys should probably change things up, before you irritate me even more…" he throws both of them to parallel walls. They crash into them around the same time somehow.

Arthur landed behind the counter, and was coughing up some wall chunk out of his mouth. He also ruffled his hair so stragglers would get out, and stay out. 

The glint of something underneath the counter, caught the eyes of Arthur, would crawl his way over, making sure that guy didn't see what he was doing. He managed to get over there with little noise, nor trouble. He saw what the glinting thing was, and it looked to be a pistol. Not the same brand as the big guy's, but still a pistol. He picked it up, and checked to see if the magazine had any bullets left. He hoped it did, but anything could happen.

The worker was pretty much done with nursing Braxton back to not dying of blood loss. He seemed fine from her perspective at least. She gets up, and circles herself around the big guy. Once again, to try and land some cheap shots on him. Although, he didn't seem to mind her doing that in the slightest. Just as she would almost connect her foot onto his balls. He grabbed her by the ankle, and threw her back onto the floor. She landed pretty hard, and almost broke a bone. She watches as the big boy looms over her with who knows what kind of intent he had. 

"Now that everyone else is finally gone… we can resume what we were talking about…" She closes her eyes as his hands slowly inch themselves over to her shoulders. 

*BANG!!

Her eyes opened back up suddenly, to see that the guy now had a bullet hole through the left side of his head. His body flops to the ground, and his heart stops instantaneously. A pool of blood started to form around where his head layed, and she skooched her way away a tiny bit so she wouldn't get it on anything.

Arthur was panting, and limping from the pain, but he did still help her up. They both go over to where Braxton was laying, and he seemed to be just fine at the moment, besides seeing that giant drop dead from their hands. Arthur also helps up Braxton after seeing how red the bandage over his leg was; and they all go see where Ethan even landed. With her on the right, and Braxton on the left, and Arthur and the middle, they slowly inch their way throughout the store.

Ethan was seen slumped over, and landed into the snack aisle once more. Arthur giggles at how he landed, with his whole body upside-down, and with a bunch of chips bags that exploded on impact, all over his body. After Arthur and Braxton laughed at him, he got him out of there with the hello of the other two. Now that they're all okay. The last thing that needs to be done is get back over to the front. 

The worker is seen sitting on a chair in the back, while Arthur is helping Braxton stand, and Ethan is standing next to them, not knowing what to do.

"So… sorry about wrecking the place…" Ethan apologized on their behalf. She just shrugs it off though.

"No. I'm fine… I'll be okay… my boss won't be too happy about this though…" She starts to wonder how she'll break the news to her. Braxton motions everyone to look over at his direction.

"We could help you, if you want…" He throws that idea into the eternal abyss. 

"Oh you guys don't have to do all of that…" 

"C'mon, I insist…" Braxton pleads with her to think about his offer.

She sighs. "Hmm… fine. Sure…" she extents her hand. Even though Braxton couldn't really give her a handshake at the moment.
