Shattering Humanity-Chapter 136: Mislabeled Beauties: Shelly & Madame Fryer, Mistress Sword Of The Sun
From the Home Team entrance on the court, Saku and the Don Laban stand there and wait for Katsu and Shelly to walk to the floor of the arena. The Don has her Eyelien in 2nd Stage with a grey aura, her confident and cocky smirk staring at the invaders of the city she controls. Saku has his arms folded and leaning against the wall.
Saku: "I’m telling ya, this is a bad idea, Laban. I don’t mind running the fade with Katsu, not to help you, but cuz of our own beef. But, after using your eye ability to see what you did to Itsuka, I promise you Shelly is going to fold you. And if she doesn’t, I will."
The Don Laban DaeMon turns around with comedic heart eyes and a now pink aura replacing the smokey grey.
Don Laban: "Ohh, Sakiii! Please! Fold me and put my face into the pi-"
Saku: "Fuck off! I don’t like you! You’re so toxic it makes me sick, and the fact you’re kinda cute while being so toxic, makes me even sicker."
Don Laban: "Sakiii! You think I’m cute?!"
Saku: "Of course you didn’t hear anything other than that..."
The Don Laban reverts back to her original smoke aura and confident smirk.
Don Laban: "Unfortunately, my Saki, ’you’ are the prize that those two are here for and because I want to laugh as I put another halt on Skalmönd’s pitiful ’Seiõr Spell’ of hope, I’m going to be the only one fighting."
She holds up the golden sheath with the sounds of crackling flames coming from inside.
Don Laban: "I won’t even need to use her dead grandma’s legendary ’Mindscape’ sword."
The sound of the shot clock buzzer goes off. Don Laban and Saku look to see that Katsu and Shelly have both already willfully entered the threatening arena, ready for any challenges thrown their way. The metal bars close behind them. From the Don’s hand the golden sheathed sword can ’see’ Shelly. Once Shelly’s peaceful blue eyes look forward, towards the sword, it begins shaking from within the sheath. It startles the Don Laban and Saku as the sword unsheathes itself.
Don Laban: "Wait! What the f-"
She goes to swipe and grab the golden hilt of the flaming, floating sword. She misses as the sword dodges her attempts and begins flying towards the caged area. In the dark stadium, the bright glow of the sword is brighter than when held by the Don and the flames roar louder as well.
The crowd starts to notice and point at the spectacle, even the jumbo tron big screen has a camera focused on the flying sword of flames. Shelly looks to see what the commotion is and also sees the bright orange blade of flames. She grips her own SunSword and steps in front of Katsu, but then he puts his hand on her shoulder and she turns around surprised. Again, she can’t see his Yang aura, but she can see his comforting smile.
Katsu: "Don’t worry ’Shell’, I have a feeling ’that’ sword, won’t be hurting you or me."
The Don Laban runs out to try and stop the sword. Saku watches her, but then realizes he’s now alone and looks around. He runs in the opposite direction.
At first glance, the hilt is too wide to fit through the squares of the metal bar cage, and it seems as if it will be forced to stop.
There is the sound of multiple slashes and Shelly turns to see the flaming sword bashes through the clean cut hole it created.
Don Laban: "Fuck! Open the- Shit they can’t hear me..."
The audience notices the Don running for the sword.
Female Audience Member: "Hey isn’t that the Don Laban?!"
There is a roar of repeating cheers of "Don La-ban! Don La-ban!"
The blazing sword then calmly floats towards Shelly and flips itself so she can grab the golden hilt.
Don Laban gets to the cage but the mechanical door is closed as she reaches in for an ineffective final attempt at the same time that Shelly is reaching to grab the sword right in front of her. Katsu looks on to the scene with a ’creepy smile’. Enjoying the Don’s inability to stop Shelly from rightfully obtaining this "Sword of the Gods".
Don Laban: "Noooooo!"
Shelly’s hand flinches back but then immediately grasps the golden hilt and Shelly is no longer in the Initiation Arena.
No longer in Roronora City.
No longer next to Katsu.
She is under the largest and most beautiful tree ever seen or described in any story ever told. It is full of leaves regrowing and falling continuously and visible by her two human eyes. All the leaves are going through their own individual aging process making it steadily ’rain leaves’ around Shelly and the colors of the tree are continually shifting.
Shelly then looks surprised and swivels her head around but there is the sound of running from behind her. She goes to grip her SunSwords but there are none at her hip and she grabs air.
A pair of LARGE tan breasts, barely tucked into what seems like a dress made of flames, hits Shelly’s back and the force knocks her forward on her face.
’Flame Dress’: "Whahahhhhaaaaa! Skalmönd! Finally, you’re bahahaaack! I missed you soo much you don’t even know the torture it has beeheheeeen!"
Shelly wiggles her way out from her ’attackers’ grasp and gets up to see an outrageously gorgeous dark-skinned woman.
Her long dress IS made of flames. Her hair drips like lava and her tear-filled eyes have an incredibly familiar ’color of the sun’. A tear rolls down her cheek, over her orange make-up covered upper lip and falls off, past her red make-up covered lower lip.
Shelly: "Who are you!? Where is Katsu!? Where are we?! WHO. THE HELL. IS SKALMÖND!?!?"
The beautiful tan woman in a flaming dress clasps her hands together and thinks about her answer. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Madame Fryer: "My name is ’Madame Fryer’. I am the soul that lives within that flaming sword you are currently grasping outside of this Mindscape."
Shelly: "...’Mindscape’?"
Madame Fryer: "It may be confusing for some to understand at first, but within every individual mind is their ’true reality’. If someone truly believes something exists, like a God or Devil, then with the help of a Völva that’s extremely skilled with the control of Seiõr, they can enter a Mindscape and physically see that God or Devil.While in one of these ’Seiõr Spells’, for every 1 million seconds here, is 1 second outside."
Shelly looks at the giant color changing tree, raining leaves on both of them. The leaves don’t burn while touching the swords soul of a woman and her hair of lava or her dress of fire.
Shelly thinks about it.
Shelly(thinking): *She didn’t burn me while embracing me with her breasts either.*
Her thoughts are echoed through the white Mindscape and Shelly’s eyes grow wide in embarrassment.
The drop-dead beautiful Madame Fryer "scoops her chest" and bounces them twice with a smile.
Madame Fryer: "You can’t hide anything from your own mind sweetheart, teehee. You’re great- great- great- great- great- great- great- great- great- greeeaaaaat grandma loved when I hugged her with just these, teehee."
The light-hearted woman lets go of her bossoms and her expression changes to sadness.
Madame Fryer: "Over 1,000 years ago, a Valkyrie and a Völva that went by the names Skalmönd and Iôunn, travelled through different Mindscapes to save me and other swords from the Old Norse Gods and evil entities. She succeeded and became the greatest sword fighter to ever live."
Shelly’s blue eyes glow even bluer.
Shelly: "The greatest...to ever..."
Madame Fryer’s chest nods as she does.
Madame Fryer: "Whether it was against the most feared of real or fictional characters, she defeated them using the Seiõr of their universe. Sometimes, she didn’t even use her swords, and the respectable fighters threw fists. She truly was a hidden legend. Along with her true love, Thorhope, and the greatest ally, Iôunn, Skalmönd had children and lived in hiding for the rest of her days."
Shelly raises an eyebrow to the combustion woman’s story.
Shelly: "If she is supposedly the greatest fighter in history, why did she have to live in hiding?"
Madame Fryer begins to tear up again while recalling the tragic events.
Madame Fryer: "Because of certain religious cultural changes that swept over the North in the Viking era, the remaining Valkyries and Völvas that didn’t convert, used Seiõr for selfish and cowardly purposes, and created a new clan of children, that would be used to fight the new religion that brought the apocalypse to theirs.Unfortunately, those children realized their parents selfishness to creating their unwanted existence. Those children murdered their own parents and hunted down your great- great- great- great-"
Shelly: "Okay! I get it. (deeeeep breath) I get it. So, M-Madame Fryer, if you’re willing to help me accomplish becoming the ’Greatest Ever in Fiction or Reality’, I’ll get the rest of those swords back."
She holds her hand out to shake the flaming woman’s but she is met with the absolute smothering of cleavage.
Madame Fryer: "It’s so great to see you again, Skalmönd, I’m sorry sweetie if that’s not your true name, but over time, I promise, you’ll take pride in it."
She releases her embrace and Shelly takes a few deep breaths of oxygen for a few seconds. Then is met with a beautiful hand that has red, orange, and yellow fingernails.
Madame Fryer: "Time to bloom, Tree of Skalmönd."
Shelly reaches and without hesitation connects the handshake.
Everything goes white.
