Kid Years Part IV
From Last Time
He grabs his pack and fills it with all sorts of weapons, kunai knives, daggers, throwing knives, pistols, shotguns, and all sorts more. He begins walking and after a few minutes, he catches a squirrel and throws it in his pack. Ranger begins to continue walking and suddenly, he’s caught upside down in a rope hanging from a tree! He grabs for his pack to cut the rope but as soon as he does that, he hears a sick thud. He looks down and there was his pack.
Ranger knows he can’t stay like this for long or all the blood will rush to his head and he’ll die. He begins trying to grab something around but there is nothing to grab. He decides to pull himself up on the rope and he does just that. The only thing now to be worried about is how to get down. Though he looks over and things get worse. He’s allergic to bees and there’s one five feet from him and they don’t look happy. He suddenly feels something land on his forearm and it’s just what he thinks it is… a bee.
Continued…
Ranger knows not to freak out. So he acts calm, and so it pays off, the bee flies off. Ranger lets out a breath of relief. He begins thinking of ways to get down and it hits him. Break it with gravity. If he can pull himself up on a branch, jump off, his weight could pull the rope thus making it, or the branch, break, which allows him to get down. There’s only one downside, he’s at least ten feet up, and if he takes a fall like that, he’s destined to injure himself. Though, he feels another bee land on his arm. He decides to kill this one as he smacks it, thus killing the bee. His first priority now, is to get that bee’s nest down, without getting stung.
He begins climbing up the rope until he gets on the branch that the rope is tied around. He swings off! He swings right at the bee’s nest and kicks it into the air. It twists and turns all the way, to the hard ground. The nest busts as thousands of bees fly out and they aren’t in a good mood either. Ranger tries to stay calm and make as little commotion as possibly. While he’s focused on that, he forgets that he’s swinging back and forth. He slams back first into the tree. Ranger screams as the bees all start flying at him. Hundreds land on him as some just swirl around him. Then, he feels a sharp pain on his arm. He’s been stung.
He begins freaking out. He waves his arms and legs as he falls to the ground, back-first. Ranger lays lifeless on the dirt with the bees flying around. Ranger manages to pull his bag over to him. He grabs a syringe and a bottle, putting the liquid in the syringe, and waiting till’ the bees leave. After, 10 minutes of unimaginable pain from stinging, they fly off. He pulls his arm up, but barely, and injects himself with it. As soon as he injects himself, he’s knocked out.
Ranger’s eyes open, as every inch of his body is in horrible pain. Though, he still gets up. He tries to move but can’t. Eventually, he moves his leg forward. After that, he begins moving on leg at a time, trying to make it back to his shelter. Slowly but surely, he makes it, only to collapse when he gets there.
Ranger wakes up. The pain has been removed but he’s still a little woozy. He begins to walk back to where he got caught, stung, and unconscious. He gets there and grabs his pack. Then, he walks back to his shelter. Only to find it destroyed, as it looks like it’s been like this for days.
Ranger (Woozily): How did I not notice that?
Ranger falls to his knee, beating the ground. He begins yelling, punching, kicking, abusing anything and everything. Eventually, he calms himself down, only to notice that he’s lost a few pounds and he’s starving.
Ranger (Woozily): How long did I sleep?
Ranger begins walking through the forest, looking for something to satisfy himself. As he’s walking, he notices a cleared path. His gut tells him to go down the path but his brain, thinks different. Ranger takes the gut’s opinion. He begins walking down the path, aware of his surrounds, do to what happened last time he was unaware. He continues walking and stops. A brick house is what appears.
He walks to the door and knocks. A figure hangs their head out the door and throws Skittles in Ranger’s face.
Figure: TASTE THE RAINBOW!
Ranger: You do that again and you’ll TASTE YOUR BLOOD!
The figure walks out in none other than, a clown suit. Ranger nearly has a heart attack. The clown honks the horn in his face. Ranger falls backwards and begins crawling away.
Clown (Corny Voice): Are you scared of clowns? I can fix that right up!
Ranger: Yeah, uh, really doubt that.
Clown: Come on in, it’ll be fun!
The clown helps Ranger up and holds the door as Ranger walks in. Ranger takes a look around as Ranger feels a small cut on his throat as he looks down, to see none other than a knife to his throat.
Ranger: This is EXACTLY why I’m afraid of clowns!
Clown (Normal Voice): Shut up, kid. Follow what I tell you to do or you’ll die. Now go.
The clown begins pushing him towards a cell. He kicks Ranger in the joint of his knee and throws him in a cell. The clown locks the door as Ranger holds his knee.
Ranger: So I’m a prisoner, eh? Not for long!
Ranger begins pulling, yanking, hitting on everything. After hours of that, Ranger finally falls to his knees and sits.
Clown: So, now that that’s over, what’s your name and why are you here?
Ranger: Well since I haven’t got anything better to do, everyone calls me “Ranger”, and I’m here because I’m hiding; now you spill your beans.
Clown: Well my name is, Jacob Jenkins, I’m here be-
Ranger: Wait, I’d know that name anywhere; YOU’RE THE ONE WHO KILLED MY PARENTS!

My Time to Shine
Ranger appears in the same alley as last time, in a black jacket with the hood on and some ripped jeans. He flips the hood off and pulls out a piece of chalk. He makes four marks on the wall to his left and then puts the chalk back.Ranger: You see the marks on the wall to my left? It’s the number of losses I have under my belt. I’ve lost to a guy where I don’t even know where to start, a fat grandma that has to have people to tie her own shoes for her ‘cause she can’t reach, a guy who no one cares to know about, and a girl with a horrible trainer. I’VE BEEN FED UP WITH THESE JOKES, PCW! I deserve someone of worthiness and someone that actually matters in this company. Not some fat old bat you picked up. The only soul I’ve fought that was worthy was that of Brian Stryker’s. Other than that I could care less. You want me to show you that I deserve better, well, you watch Rapture, because I’m going to make quick work of Victor Cavanagh.
Now if this is the first time you’ve heard of him, well, you aren’t the only one. He’s another one of PCW’s pick-ups. Though, I have to admit Victor, you and I have a lot more in common, than all of my other opponents. We have no friends, allies, no one to turn to. I actually like you better than a lot of my other opponents. There’s just one difference between you and me. That difference is that fact that I’ll be the one flying out of Wisconsin with a victory. Don’t let his name fool you, Victor isn’t a victor, he is nothing but a loser. No one’s heard of you and no one will when I’m done with you. You will be nothing but a pile of ashes under my being. I’ve been defeated over and over and over and over but now there’s a change. They grey skies are vanishing and the sun is coming out. IT’S MY TIME TO SHINE!
Ranger walks out of the alley as the screen fades.
