Chapter 5: Multi tasking

Ignis closed the door behind his house and put his hammer behind his back and then was approached by Colt.

Colt: Morning Ignis, ready for the erands?

Ignis was writing to Colt.

"Sure, what's up?"

Colt: Basically I have this problem with some trio of pirates and they basically keep robbing Barley's bar and almost put it out of business.

Ignis was writing yet again.

"Who are they?"

Colt: They're names are Penny, Darryl and Tick. We better go look for them now, I'll get the horses, you wait here.

He left to get the horses and them Ignis suddenly got a text from Jacky.

Jacky: "Ayo hot armor, I'll be waiting for ya. 😉"

Ignis then replied to her.

Ignis: "I'll be there, I have to take care of something else, it'll be very quick."

Jacky then replied back.

Jacky: "Sure, I got all the time in the world to wait for you to arrive"

Ignis then thought that if this thing with Colt took longer than he thought than Jacky would be dissapointed that he didn't appear. So he then used some of his flames and created a copt of him that looked identical as the real Ignis. He then told the copy what he had to do and it nodded and Ignis left. Colt then came with the horses and Ignis put his phone down.

Colt: Alright, also I put it a metalic seat for you just in case you don't burn the horse your writing.

The clone of Ignis nodded.

Colt: Good, let's go.

They got up on they're horses and began riding them so they can find the pirate trio. Colette saw them leaving.

Colette: Oooh, I wanna go and thank Ignis again for what he gave me yesterday!

She then ran after them.

The real Ignis went to the gem mine where Jacky was, she gave him the cordinates on his phone and he was walking towards there, then suddenly a person of some sort dashed behind Ignis and he stopped to look behind him but there was nothing. Then the person dashed in front of him and he looked what it was and it was nothing.

???: Turbo time!

Ignis then looked at the figure as she stopped. The figure was wearing a red and yellow stripped suit with a helmet with the exact colors, it appeared to be a female by the body struction.

???: Whoops didn't see ya there.

She then noticed Ignis.

???: Wait a minute, aren't you that new brawler that everyone in Brawl town is talking about. You made one heck of a storm upon arrival.

Ignis then began writing to the femenine figure.

"What brings your attention towards me, mortal? I am a bit busy right now"

???: Woah woah, take it easy big guy, was just jogging.

Ignis gave her a note.

"More like running like a cheetah"

The woman laughed.

Max: The name's Maxine but my friends call me Max for short , you must be Ignis right?

He nodded.

Max: So what's your work that you have to do?

Ignis was writing to Max.

"I got to go to the gem mine here in this town to lend her a hand."

Max: Cool, also would love to hang with ya anytime, I just followed ya on Brawlstagram too so we can keep in touch if you know what I mean.

She smirked and shook her eyebrows in a seductive manner. Ignis then began writing yet again.

"Alright I'll see you next time, I have to go."

Max: Alright, peace!

She began dashing away again but she had a small thought about Ignis.

Max's mind: Maybe I can invite him to a game of bounty something, but I bet it'll be fun.

Colt and the Ignis clone were still looking for the pirate trio.

Colt: You see anything?

The clone nodded a no!

Colt: Aww shucks! We'll never find them...

The clone began writing to Colt and created a paper plane and threw it at Colt who caught it.

"Don't give up, there's always hope"

Colt: Yeah I guess your right-

The horses then stopped and the two saw a skeleton dressed as a Mariachi guitar player.

Colt: Hey Poco, sorry I didn't see ya there.
Poco: It's alright dude and I see that's the guy named Ignis over there.

Ignis' clone nodded his head in a yes.

Colt: Yeah, anyways we are looking for Penny and her crew, have you seen where they went?
Poco: Yeah I did, they stole my guitar!
Colt: Don't worry, we'll find it.
Poco: Mind if I come with you guys, I wanna be of some help, I can tell you where they went.
Colt: Sure, hop on.

Poco then went to the clone's horse.

Colt: Giddy up!

The horses began running again, then Colette was still running after them, it was like she had endless stamina.

Colette: Oh Ignis! Where are you?

She tried to find Ignis but she didn't knew it was a clone she was following.

Ignis made it to the mine and saw Jacky waiting for him.

Jacky: Took ya long enough hot stuff, where have ya been?

Ignis was writing to her.

"Was doing some erands, honey"

Jacky: Don't call me honey. I am not your honey and let's get that straight from the get go. Don't call me that or any other of those "drill" pet names.

Ignis found this amusing and wrote to Jacky again.

"Listen, I come from Hell and my parents used to say that to each other and I learned a thing or two from them, so simmer down sweetie."

Jacky laughed.

Jacky: Alright, you got me there I'll give ya that. Come on, let's go and do some stuff.

They then entered the mines and it was a huge place for Jacky to work.

Jacky: Welcome to the mines, this is where the Gem Grab matches occur the most.

Then Dynamike and a robot miner riding a minecart came.

Dynamike: Hiya Ignis!

Ignis waved at Dynamike.

Jacky: You know Dynamike and this right here is Carl the nerd.
Carl: Hey! Watch it! By the way, Carl is my name and geology is my game!

Ignis was writing to Carl.

"What's geology?"

Carl them sighed.

Carl: A subject where you study rocks and other types of them.

Ignis gave him a thumbs up.

Jacky: Alright, enough of those "drill" boring lessons from nerd-bot over here, let's get some work done and close the mine and call it a day.
Dynamike: But why did you brought Ignis here for?
Jacky: Ignis agreed to help us with our tasks and I accepted his offer. His job will be to move the mine carts full of gems to the storage room and if we need some help with gatherint gems he's a natural helping hand with that trusty blacksmith hammer of his.
Carl: I'll have you know that me and my pickaxe are twice as smarter and sharper than that hammer of his.

Ignis then wrote Carl again.

"Oh yeah, I have a hammer that wields powers you don't know about, how many hammers have you got?"

Dynamike: Ohhhh!!!
Jacky: "Drill" he got ya good Carly boy.

They all laughed at Carl, minus Ignis for various reasons.

Carl: Whatever...
Jacky: Anyways let's get to work.

They all went to do they're tasks.

Colt, Poco and the Ignis clone have found a huge pirate ship.

Colt: So this is they're ship eh?
Poco: Yeah! Let's get them.

They got off they're horses and they began walking a plank that lead them inside the ship, Colette saw them.

Colette: There you are....

The three were now at the deck of the ship, they saw two robots, one had the head of a bomb and a cannon like body and the other one was inside a barrel and had a huge pirate captain hat.

Colt: Hello you thieves! We want you to return all you have stolen from Barley.
Poco: And my guitar!

The clone grabbed it's own hammer. The robots saw them and they draw they're weapons.

Darryl: Intruders! You're about to be pownaged!

Tick made a sound that no one understand.

Penny: Hey, all of you stop!

They turned around and saw the captain of the pirate ship.

Penny: Hey Colt and see you brought some of your friends here.

She them spotted Ignis, or if she thought it was him.

Penny: And you must be that Ignis guy, Leon told me all about you. Me and my crew have been dying to meet you.
Colt: How about you roughscallions return what you took.
Penny: We will, but if we play a game.
Poco: What kind of game?
Penny: Present Plunder, the team that collects the team's present twice wins the game. If you win, we will return all the gold we stolen, but if you lose then you will stop sticking that sheriff nose off of our business, got it?
Colt: Once you swear about your part of when we win?
Penny: We swear in pirate's honor!

She and her robot helpers raised they're arms up.

Poco: But wait, I need my guitar to fight.
Darryl: Alright, here you go.

He pulled out Poco's guitar from a chest filled with gold coins and tossed it at Poco as he caught it.

Penny: Alright, let's get started then.

Colette then was sitting on top of a pirate's cabin.

Colette: Is this really happening? I get to watch so many cool brawlers fight? Ignis is the coolest of them all.

Ignis felt every move that his clone made, he can sense it in a far distance. He had the power to control it using it's mind since they're linked together. He was pushing some mind carts to the storage room while the miners where drilling or blowing up rocky walls so they can gather gems.

Jacky: Hey Ignis, come and help us with some gem gathering!

Ignis then stopped and went to help Jacky.

The Present Plunder match was starting going under way. Penny was firing her gun filled with fool's gold and Tick was firing mines above the sky. Poco and Colt were counter attacking the duo's attack, but they didn't suspected Darryl to sneak and try and grab the blue team's present but Ignis controlled his clone via mind to hit Darryl with his hammer and it stunned the barrel robot.

Darryl: Hey, totally legit pirate over here!

He began firing with his double shotguns at the clone. Ignis commanded it to dodge the bullets as it hit Darryl once more.

Colt: Wait! Where's Darryl?
Poco: Ignis is dealing with him.

Then Poco used his super and healed all three up, Ignis then eliminated Darryl but was soon to be brought back, he then went to grab the red team's present until Penny noticed him.

Penny: Where do you think your going? Scallywag!

She tried to shoot the clone down but with Ignis' mind synced it dodged the attack.

Penny: Tick! Fire head first!

Tick saluted to Penny and removed the head from it's body and it began following the clone as it grabbed the present and began running away.

Colt: Hold on Ignis!

He began firing at the head and destroyed it and Tick grew a new head. The Ignis clone captured the present and put it on it's team's zone.

Penny: Dangnabit! We need extra effort maties!
Darryl: Aye Aye captain!

He then turned to his barrel form and rolled all the way to grab the blue team's present.

Poco: Get Darryl!

They tried all they can but it was then even between both teams. It was now personal.

Colette: Come on Ignis! You can do it!

She performed some cheerleader poses.

Jacky was drilling with her jackhammer, until a huge rock soon fell crumbling and was gonna fall down.

Carl: Jacky! Look out!

She looked up as the rock was gonna land on her. She screamed but Ignis lunged at her and saved her from certain death. She opened her eyes and saw Ignis hugging her, she blushed madly.

Jacky: Mind... Letting me go...

He looked at her and did let her go.

Dynamike: You alright Jacky?
Jacky: Yeah, thanks to hot stuff here, would repay ya anything for saving me from that crummy Ol rock.
Carl: Hey, rocks have feelings-
Jacky: Put a sock on that mouth of you son of a *drill*!

Carl then zipped his mouth and Ignis then went to control his clone.

The teams were tied and were desperate to get the present. It was now overtime and everything was destroyed and it was a clear field. Colt and Poco were trying they're best to fend off Penny and Darryl, Tick tried to grab the blue present but the Ignis clone managed to eliminate him, it then was going to his teammates and by Ignis' will of control it used his super and activated the shield and surrounded Colt and Poco.

Poco: Wow dude!
Colt: Thanks a lot Ignis, watch this.

His used his super.

Colt: Bullet storm!

He managed to eliminate both Penny and Darryl with his super but soon they would be spawned back. Poco went to grab the present while Colt and the clone Ignis fend them off. Poco put the present on his team's zone and it was won. Colette then jumped around as Ignis won.

Colette: Hurray! He won! He won!!!

Colt blowed the barrels of his revolvers.

Colt: This was too easy!
Poco: Now I am gonna turn it up to 11!
Colt: Where Penny, a deal was a deal.

She sighed.

Penny: Fine, you can return the gold back, but nice brawl anyways.
Darryl: I especially like how the fiery man fought.

The clone threw the barrel robot a paper plane.

"You weren't as bad yourself"

The real Ignis and the miners were done with they're tasks and the mine was closed down.

Jacky: Can't thank ya enough for helping us and saving my bacon back there.

He began writing to Jacky.

"No need to thank me, at least your safe and that matters a lot to me"

Jacky blushed while Dynamike and Carl laughed.

Jacky: That's very kind of ya to be honest...

Ignis gave her a thumbs up.

Jacky: Hope to see ya again, I'll call ya when your needed or if I can use some company.

Ignis nodded as he waver goodbye to the miner trio. He then managed to transfuse his spirit back to the clone as it fully took over it's body. Currently the clone was with Poco and Colt as they were leaving with all the gold.

Colt: Barley will be do happy about the news.
Poco: Yeah, I mean we all did our part. Right Ignis?

He then pretended he was there and he nodded in agreeement.

Colt: Is it just me or this was one wacky adventure between us?
Poco: I guess-
Colette: Ignis!

She jumped behind Ignis and hugged him and this freaked out Colt and Poco.

Colt: Don't borrow some of my hair!
Poco: Or some of my guitar strings!
Colette: Nope, all I need is him and I wanna thank Ignis for the stuff you gave me, it really means a lot you know...

Ignis felt the soft tone of her voice, he then wrote to her on his notepad.

"It's no problem, happy I can give you something"

Colette: Your the best brawler ever!

They then continued they're journey back to Brawl town.

OK guys, this was chapter 5.

Peace out!
