Chapter 6: Chapter 6: You Damn Dirty Ape

“Burst of Speed” I yell as I rush towards the closest ape with my bone axe raised aiming for the center of his skull. As soon as my axe comes crashing down on my target, the ape claps his hands together and catches it with both hands. The ape snarls at me and it almost seems like its smiling at me as if he has no care in the world and doesn’t even see me as a threat.

“I’ll show you, you stupid ape” I say while tugging at my bone axe to no effect. I let go of my bone axe and fall to the floor. I then take my stone axe with both hands, and I aim for the center of his chest. The ape tries to block but both of its hands are still holding my bone axe and it hasn’t dropped it in time. My stone axe strikes the ape in the chest barely enough to pierce the skin, however it is in enough pain that it drops my bone axe.

I leave my stone axe lodged in its chest as I catch my bone axe before it falls to the ground. The second ape is now within striking distance as the first ape has taken a step back to remove the axe out of his chest. The second ape raises both fists in the air and throws them both down as if they were a hammer striking down the head of a nail. I do a backflip to escape the beating I would have soon received; in mid flip I feel the gust of wind across my back as the apes’ fists barely miss me and lands on the ground.

“Thank you acrobatic skill” I say as I ready up my bone axe for a counterattack. I swing my axe as hard as I can desperately trying to hit anything solid as the ape recovers from his unsuccessful attack. My axe comes down directly on the apes bicep almost cutting it clean off but alas my axe only went halfway through his arm.

“RRROOOAAAARRRRR” the ape yells as I pull my axe out of its arm. As the ape stumbles backwards the blood from his partially decapitated arm spurts everywhere. The ape desperately tries to hold his arm in place, as he does this the first ape has removed the stone axe from its chest and is making its way into the fight once again.

“BULLS EYE SHOT” I scream as I raise my bone axe over my head. My arms become tight as I grip the bone axe ready to throw it has hard as I can at the first ape. The warmth of the skill sears though the veins in my arms all the way up to my hands, and as soon as I feel the skill reach my fingertips, I throw the axe as hard as I can. The bone axe flows through the air at a speed almost too hard to see until it reaches the chest of the first ape. The ape then begins to struggle to remove the bone axe as its now somewhat deep in its chest.

“Stay their asshole, I’m not done with your friend” I say as I reach into my inventory and pull out a stone spear. As I’m removing the spear from my inventory, I see the second ape is advancing towards me. I steady my feet and raise my stone spear ready to stab the ape as soon as he gets within range. The ape gets to me faster than usual I assume it’s due to his enraged status. I push my spear towards the ape, but to my surprise the ape pushes past my spear and strikes me in the side. As his fist comes into contact with my side, I immediately drop my spear and skid across the floor about 15 feet.

“Ughh fuck that hurt you damn dirty ape” I grunt as put my hand to my side “Your gonna pay for that”. I pull out my slingshot from my inventory and launch shot after shot in rapid succession at the ape. The ape swats away the shots with ease as it continues to run towards me albeit a little slower now since it has to constantly swat away rocks aimed at his face. As it gets within a few feet of me, I rush towards the ape and make a mad dash towards its almost severed arm. As I grip the apes partially decapitated arm he begins to strike me again and again trying desperately to get me off.

“RRROOOOAAAARRRRR” the ape yells as I rip and pull at the injured arm until the arm is finally ripped from its body. As the ape screams and cries, I pull a stone spear out of my inventory and shove it directly into its open mouth piercing its soft tissue until it protrudes to the back of his head. As the ape gags on its own blood, I grab two of my stone knives and stab the ape repeatedly in the face until it falls over dead.

I rush towards the first ape as he is now enraged after seeing his ally fall by my hands. As I rush towards the ape, I pull another spear out of my inventory and throw it has hard as I can towards the enraged ape. As it flows through the air the ape smacks it away with ease.

“Fuck Fuck Fuck” I say as I continue to run unable to come to a complete stop. I pull out yet another spear to hopefully stab the ape once it gets into striking distance. As soon as the ape gets close enough I shove my spear aiming right at its face, it however it sees this coming and grabs my spear inches away from its face.

“Dammit stop doing that” I yell at the ape. The ape tugs on my spear tugging me along with it until a see a fist coming at my face. Fuck it’s too late to dodge, this is going to hurt I think as I brace myself for impact.

The force of his fist across my face made me fall flat on my ass as well as my eyes getting swollen shut. The ape stands over me ready to issue out the death blow as it raises its hands to strike me down but with my one good eye, I notice that my bone axe is still lodged in its chest.

“RRRROOOOAAAARRRRR” the ape screams out as its fists come crashing down however with all of my strength, I kick the blade part of the bone axe that’s still lodged in its chest. I close my eyes thinking that I will soon be dead but to my surprise as I open my eyes the ape has stopped and has taken a few steps backwards. I walk over cautiously, afraid that at any moment he will spring back into action and rip my head off.

I can barely make out the status screen in front of me however the only thing I can really make out is the 1 next to its HP. That is enough to make me walk a little faster to the point that I’m at the ape before he has a chance to react. I grab the bone axe with both hands and pull on it with all my might to which the axe finally dislodges from its chest after a few pulls. The ape struggles to hold its chest as blood streams down its chest like an open faucet, as he continues to struggle, I have raised my axe over its head.

“I’m sorry I have to do this but you would kill me if I don’t” I say as swing my axe down as hard as I can.

“That’s two down, now its time for you” I say as I point my axe at the black ape who hasn’t moved since its arrival at the current battlefield. My axe is wobbly at best as I barely have enough strength to hold it up. I begin to walk towards the ape, until I see I sight that makes me stop in my tracks, the ape is clapping so hard that it makes the trees nearby him shake just of the force of his strength.  

“You smooth skin strong, Ape weak” the ape spoke as it snorted “Ape too weak not belong to island no more”. The ape paced back and forth as it slammed into trees violently.

“Holy shit you can talk” I say out load.

“Me Strong, Me Smart, Me leader of Ape kind” the ape says as he pounds on his chest.

“That doesn’t answer my question how can you talk” I lower my axe almost excited that this is the first conversation I have had since I arrived at this island that wasn’t towards a system screen.

“When Ape get smart, we use words”

“I guess that’s a good enough excuse as any”

“Why did your friends attack me”

“We protect island, we guard gold” the ape points at me with its long black skinned finger “You, You hurt island.”

“Are you talking about the tree, I’m sorry but I needed the wood.”

“Don’t care, you hurt island, we hurt you.”

“Is that how its gonna be, can’t we talk this out” I say as I notice the stone axe that I was using before that is now close by. “How about I take this little section right here and you can have the rest of the island.” I slowly start walking towards my axe without taking my eyes off the black ape.

“You outsider, we told not to let any outsider live” the black ape snorts as he speaks “We follow orders, you die now.”

“RRRROOOOOAAAAARRRRR” the ape yells as he rushes towards me.

“Oh god not again I can’t catch a break” I say as I rush towards my stone axe. The Black Ape beats me to my stone axe, I blink out of surprise as I did not even see the ape move. I pull two stone knives out of my inventory and throw them as hard as I can towards the ape. The ape however doesn’t even budge and lets the knives pierce its chest.

“Oww” the ape smirks as he easily removes the stone knives out of its chest.

“Did you just mock me” I say in surprise

“Me funny, now no more games you die now” the ape says as he rushes towards me. I pull out a stone spear and throw it towards the ape. The ape easily smacks the spear out of its way, that is until it receives a nice surprise. The ape stumbles backwards clutching its face as its face starts to bleed, he looks towards me seeing me hold my slingshot ready to shoot another shot at him.

“Suck it ape” I say as I pelt him with shot after shot hoping to hit him in the eyes again that way I can have some sort of advantage towards him.

“RRRRROOOOAAAARRRRR” the ape screams at me as he rushes towards me ignoring the shots to its head. As he gets within striking distance, I retrieve my bone axe and I swing it towards him hoping to catch him off guard. The ape however sees this move coming a mile away and catches my hands, as he has my hands he lifts me into the air so that we are eye to eye.

“I was wrong, smooth skin not strong” the ape says as he makes a fist in his hand that isn’t pinning me to him. I feel the ape fist getting close to me and that’s when I react by doing a backflip off the ape kicking him in the face as I do.

“Thank you again acro….” I begin to say as I am interrupted by the ape shoulder bashing me in the back. I fly through the air knocking into tree branch after tree branch until my face becomes well acquainted with a thick tree.

“Ughh God that hurt” I say as I lay next to the tree as I cough up blood and wipe tears out of my eyes. The ape rushes towards me until it notices that I have begin to smirk, the ape slows down to anticipate a trap.

“Why smooth skin smile, you almost dead”

“I may be close to death but you will die very soon” I say as I stand up slowly “Because My Pain is My Strength”

Instead of the usual warmth of the skill that I have come accustomed to I feel different I feel like my head is on fire and the fire is rapidly starting to course through my entire body. I pull stone spear after stone spear out my inventory as the ape resumes his rush towards me.

“Bulls Eye Shot, Bulls Eye Shot, Bulls Eye Shot, Bulls Eye Shot” I shout as I throw four of my stone spears at the rushing ape. The ape tries to block one like he had previously done however he is surprised that the stone spear has flown harder and faster than what I had previously done. The ape is able to block one spear, although three of the spears are able to pierce its chest. As the ape stumbles to recover after my rejuvenated strength, I rush towards him with my bone axe at the ready.

“Bulls eye shot” I yell as I raise my bone axe over my head as I feel the power of both My Pain is My Strength, and bulls eye shot almost tear through my skin. I throw the axe as I feel as if my body can’t take much more of both skills tearing my body to shreds. The axe flows through the air at a speed that myself and the ape can’t comprehend.

***CRITICAL HIT***

To my surprise I see that the bone axe has landed square in the apes face splitting it almost in two.

“Thank God, I don’t think I could take much more” I say as I fall over exhausted on my ordeal. “I need a nap”

“I’ll do it later” I say as I close out of the pop-up menu and limp towards my makeshift campsite. I throw a few more pieces into the fire and crawl into my makeshift tent.

“Its been a very long day” I say as I close my eyes and drift into my much need sleep.
