Chapter 16
Enemies?
"How are we meant to get in" Mr. Chicken asked.
"My Twizzy, I have Tonka Twizzies cuh." Frank Tonka responded. Although Mr. Chicken couldn't translate that phrase, they knew it meant that Frank Tonka had an idea. Frank Tonka proceeded to pull a knife out of his pocket. The knife was too big to even fit in his pocket, but Mr. Chicken didn't question it. It was a shiny cooking knife, carved with the words, "stainless steel." It was about 30 cm long and looked as if it hadn't been used yet. Frank Tonka handed the knife to Mr. Chicken, which Mr. Chicken received happily. Mr. Chicken had the idea of using the knife to cut a hole in the wall, but the clouds seemed too hard to cut through. Mr. Chicken concluded that there was no harm in trying to cut through the wall. So, they stabbed the wall, but to Mr. Chicken's surprise, the knife went right through. Mr. Chicken reached out to touch the wall to see if it was just as hard as the rest of the wall, but it still felt like concrete. Mr. Chicken continued to cut through the clouds as if it were merely clouds. Wait it was! After Mr. Chicken had finished cutting a large rectangle out of the cloudy wall, it fell forward, revealing three figures, one resting on a wall clutching their leg, the other two standing in the middle of the box. One of the people in the middle of the box was holding a knife, a bit like the one that Mr. Chicken was holding. They looked like they were originally facing each other but turned to face Mr. Chicken and Frank Tonka when they busted through the wall. "You not my Twizz. You all Twizzy gods." Frank Tonka said.
"Isn't there only one god of onions and bananas?" Mr. Chicken asked but said no more as Frank Tonka charged at them, yelling, "Twizzy!" and drawing another knife out of his pocket. One of the people standing in the middle of the box started to say, "Wait-" but Frank Tonka had already started a sword fight between them. The other standing person made a long knife out of a large banana. "Be careful! That will turn you to glitter!" The person who was leaning against the wall yelled. As soon as Mr. Chicken stepped into the box, the hole that they cut reconstructed itself and became a solid wall again. Mr. Chicken walked over to the person sitting on the wall and said, "Are you a banana god, because you warned my friend of the danger and that was nice."
"No, I thought you were banana gods. The real god of bananas broke my leg, so I cannot fight." The person replied.
"Okay, my name is Mr. Chicken, what is your name?" Mr. Chicken asked.
"My name is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, but you can call me Pneumono for short," They responded kindly.
"That is a very long name, mine came from when people would tease me and call me a chicken." Mr. Chicken communicated in a friendly voice with hints of somberness.
Frank Tonka swung his knife over his head at the person with the knife, they blocked it with a horizontal slash, sending Frank Tonka spinning backwards a little bit. The person holding the banana sword jabbed forward at the other person with the knife, he jumped out of the way towards Frank Tonka, who slashed the person viciously. They parried and jumped backwards, away from both people. Frank Tonka lunged at the person with the banana, but they effortlessly jumped out of the way and prepared to strike him. Frank Tonka turned just in time to block with his knife and leap away from the god. All three people stood in a circle with their weapons raised, they were all puffed and exhausted. The other person with the knife said, "Who are you? I thought I only had to fight one person!"
"I am no person!" the person with the banana sword boomed loudly.
"Calm down Twizz, I want to Twizz the Twizzlers as well." Frank Tonka explained.
"What? You have serious issues… You should meet my friends." The person with the knife stated dryly.
"You both have issues. Now, stop talking so I can add you to my collection of pink glitter." The god announced before they lunged towards the person with the knife and Frank Tonka at the same time. While the god was in the air, another banana sword materialized in their left hand so they could stab them both at once. Frank Tonka and the other person stepped to the side. The God hit the floor and rolled to their feet. "Do you want to team up? My name is Bruce," He declared.
"You da Twizz" Frank Tonka agreed although Bruce didn't know what that meant, he could tell that Frank Tonka was agreeing. "My Twizz is Frank Twizzy Tonka" Then Mr. Chicken exclaimed from the side of the box, "That means his name is Frank Tonka!"
"Are you his translator or something?" Bruce yelled back.
Then the god of bananas got up and turned around, "I'm not going to go easy on you anymore, prepare to die!"
"Oh, well then, I am ready." Bruce replied miserably. The god swung at Bruce with a horizontal slash. Bruce lifted his knife to block but was met with a surprise when the god was a lot stronger than Bruce originally thought. Frank Tonka seized the opportunity to stab for the god's side. The god parried and struck Frank Tonka's knife away, leaving him armless. Bruce withdrew from struggling against the god and leaped backwards, soon to find out that Frank Tonka's knife was directly behind him. Bruce slipped and fell back. While Bruce was forcing himself to get up, the god tried to slice at Frank Tonka's throat, but he ducked. The god continued to advance, slowly pressing Frank Tonka into a smaller space with less room to dodge. Bruce got up just in time to see that Frank Tonka was cornered by the god with a knife to his neck. "Goodbye, my Twizzies," Frank Tonka exclaimed with a tear in his eye as the god of bananas impaled him with the banana sword and he turned to pink glitter. Mr. chicken ate the pink glitter that used to be Frank Tonka. When Mr. Chicken finished eating the remains of their friend, they picked up Frank Tonka's knife and charge at the god of bananas. Mr. Chicken lunged into a diagonal strike upwards with all their energy, in hope to overwhelm the god. The god blocked, surprising Mr. Chicken with his strength. Mr. Chicken struggled to advance their knife against the strength of the god. Amidst the struggle of the god and Mr. Chicken, Bruce got to his feet, picked up his knife and stabbed towards the gods heart while the god was distracted.
