The Man of the Future

Chapter 20 (Clark Becomes Referee)

The four of them continued to talk about their lives, unaware of Little Jean's presence. Who was hiding behind a big tree near that place. He continued to observe the circumstances around him, focusing on the net that captivated Mark and the others.

Looks like Little Jean is planning something to free the four of them.

"Save them outright. Surely I will be caught by them" said little Jean in his heart. While thinking about how to free his friends.

"Say Brother, if you don't want to be seen by people, then I have to use this red bracelet," little Jean, then wear the red bracelet that is in her pocket, and then wear the red one, to his left wrist.

And suddenly, he disappeared, invisible to the eye. Only the sound of his footsteps was heard by Mark. They have sensitive hearing.

"Something seems to be coming?" mark said, speaking for yourself.

"Who came to Mark, there's nobody here?. Other than us and them" Nack said, asking about Mark's remarks.

"I don't know, Nack. But I heard the sound of his footsteps. Even though he has now stopped his steps. It seems, now he is beside me," said Mark, over his hearing.

"It's me, Mark.." said little Jean, quietly but heard by the four of them.

"APPARENTLY YOU, LITTLE JEAN," cried Mark, loudly. That made Axel and his 2 friends hear his words.

"You seem to be frustrated, Mr. Well Junior. Until it is so central. Like someone will help you" said Axel, looking back for a moment.

"Just calm down, we'll soon take you to Gura-Gura Island. But for now, let us drift in our memories first" Abel continued, and the three of them resumed their conversation.

"You're how Mark speaks slowly" said Little Jean, who whispered in Mark's ear.

"Yes, I get it" replied Mark, now softly.

"Well, now this net will I tear with my knife, so that you can be free. But remember not to make a fuss. Before all of you are free" said Little Jean, who was invisible to the eye.

It looked slow but sure, the net began to tear and open. Increasingly enlarged and enlarged the tear by a special knife that has been drained by Little Jean shen.

Until finally Mark and his friends can get out and free from the net. Unwittingly by Axel the owner of the net.

"I'm finally free too, Little Jean." Mark told little Jean, who had been seen by the eye. For having removed his red bracelet, from his right hand.

"You're really frustrated, yeah. Master Well Junior!!" axel said, without looking back.

"Look behind you, New Guys. We are now free" heard Mark's words. Axel then looked back.

And how surprised Axel was, when he found his opponent was free.

"Come!, they're free," Axel said. Adel and Abel were no less surprised.

The three of them then got up and walked over to Mark and the others.

"Looks, we have to use violence right now. To take them to Gura-Gura Island. But remember not to let them die" Abel said. Ready to attack.

"Well, why do we become enemies, we better be friends. Because we are the same. We are just lonely people, conditioned like this by fate," hearing Mark's words, the three of them laughed.

"Huh...!!!"

"We are not the same as you, we are members of the New Gura-Gura group" Adel said.

"What is the great and special group of New Guys?, just a collection of chaos makers only. You better come with me to Mount Well, there you will be more appreciated by the residents of Mount Well. Rather than remain a member of the New Gura-Gura, that is otherwise useless. Then you will be removed and removed. Do you want to be like that, someday?" mark said, trying to be friends with the three of them. Due to the similarity of fate of those who lost their parents. Due to war and massacre.

"You are the one who should have come with us to Gura-Gura Island. It's not us who should come with you to Mount Well" Abel said.

Mark seemed to think. Looking for a way to take them to Mount Well.

"What if we bet, who loses this fight. He who will follow the wishes of the winner," Mark bargained to the three of them, who seemed to immediately negotiate.

"How about Axel, Adel. Do we have to obey Well Junior's will?" abel asked his two friends.

"I don't think we have any other choice. Even attacking them we are not necessarily winning. Especially plus Clark and that little robot. Our chances of winning are getting smaller" Axel said.

"If I were up to you. But we certainly can't kill them. And even if we lose later, we better kill ourselves. Than we should die being tortured by the Chief. Because we failed in this task" Adel said coldly.

Abel then approached Mark to sign the deal.

"Alright Junior, we accept your challenge. 3 against 5, we are not afraid. Let's start this fight" Abel said, and Mark smiled.

"3 against 3. Clark and little Jean are not going to be in this fight" Mark said firmly.

Hearing his name, Clark approached Mark. He looked at Abel with a sharp look.

"I won't interfere in this unless you want to kill Nack. I had to interfere. After all I have a better proposition, than having to fight like that. What if you were fighting over the arrow that I was going to throw into that forest," Clark said, pointing to the forest in the interior, with his right index finger.

Mark looked confused, while Axel was suspicious of Clark.

"Where do you have arrows, Clark?" ask Mark.

"Of course it belongs to him, when I have to go home to Pacific Water City, it's just a waste of time" Clark said, pointing at Abel.

"You don't suspect me, I won't side with them. I am neutral, not in favor of anyone. I just want to provide the best solution, for all of us," Clark said.

"Fran, Nack, you guys agreed to Clark's idea?" mark asked his two friends.

"Yes, I agree" replied Franco.

"Yes, I agree too" replied Nack.

"What about you, New Guys?" ask Clark.

"All right, we agree" Abel said, representing his friends.

"If so, lend me your bow and one arrow" Clark told Abel.

And Abel gave the bow and the arrow to Clark. He looked at the bow and arrow.

"You're an expert at hunting. And know a lot about bows and arrows. What you hold is a bow given by Mr. Dran, the number one bow on Gura-Gura Island," explained Abel, with his knowledge.

"It turns out to be the same class as my grandfather's bow. Using a tree branch as his arrow, he was able to kill an elephant. Especially if you use shen class Leader. The hill can be destroyed by archery. If I'm to be honest, I can only destroy a 10-story building, using this arrow" Clark said.

"Now you'd better stand on equal footing" Clark said.

Nack, Mark, Franco standing to Clark's right. While Abel, Axel and Adel stand to the left of Clark, who is in the middle as a separator between the group Mark and Abel.

"I'll act as a referee here. I'll give you 10 minutes, whoever gets the arrow before it runs out, then it's still up for grabs. Now I'll count down. Remember the New Turtle, I'm the leader of the Pacific Water City hit squad. It is impossible to cheat. Hold on to this," Clark explained, glancing at Abel and his two friends.

Clark began to prepare to release the arrow from his bow.

"3...2...1...!" the arrow then quickly shot. And so quickly the six of them chased him.

"Little Jean, how do the darts I released. Do you think they can go after him?" clark asked, smiling at little Jean.

"Maybe not now, or rather not yet. But there is still a possibility in the 8th minute they can catch up. Or maybe the arrow will be stopped by something" replied little Jean.

"Well, you better carry it on my back. We're going after them now!" clark said, and little Jean clung to Clark's back who immediately ran, as fast as the speed of the arrow he released it.

In that forest. The arrows released by Clark, continued to shoot at high speed, piercing through the large trees until they fell into collisions. And blocked the path of the 6 people who were chasing him.

"It turns out it's difficult to also chase the arrow, even though it's at full power" said Mark, while continuing to run after the arrow.

"Yes, in hunting and in the land Clark is the expert. He's used to hunting sharks in the ocean" Nack said, explaining Clark's skills.

"When it's 5 minutes, but the arrow is still darting. What an incredible ability, when compared to us," said Franco, who still runs parallel to everything. With Abel and his two friends.

"Yes, I admit that his shooting speed is much better and faster than mine. But how about yes, if that arrow hits that rock. There is no way he can avoid it, he is just an arrow that has no eyes" Abel said, staring at the rock in front of them.

And true to what Abel said. In front of them has been seen a coral hill as high as ± 50 meters. The arrow then hit him. When that happened, then there was a great shock on the rock. Until some of the peaks collapsed, down. But finally the arrow stopped darting, stuck in the rock that composes the formation of the hill.

"Mark, Nack, I'll move first. Wait for me at the top of that rock" said Franco, then darted with his whip. While Mark and Nack darted to the top of the rock.

"Axel, Abel. You better follow them both. Let me take the arrow" said Adel, darting after Franco. While Abel and Axel follow Nack and Mark who have been on top of the rock.

"Who will win?" mark spoke to himself.

"We will win, and you must come with us to Gura-Gura Island" Abel said.

"It's not right, about who will win. But rather, who is luckier among you. It's only the eighth minute, there's still 2 minutes left" said Clark, who suddenly appeared before the four of them. With Little Jean. While looking at his watch which is in the shape of a pearl shell.

"You, surprise us" said Mark, keeping a close eye on the events below.

Franco managed to retrieve the arrow with his whip, but Adel suddenly grabbed it with his steel thread coming out of his right index finger. Then gripped with his right hand. Seeing this, Franco did not remain silent. He then kicked Adel's right hand up. Until the arrow was floating, flying towards the top of the rock hill.

"Mark, Nack caught the arrow" said Franco, who immediately jumped on top of the rock. Followed by Adel.

Hearing that, Mark and Nack move, almost the arrow can be grasped by Mark. If Abel had not taken it.

"I'm the winner!" said Abel.

"No, there's 10 seconds left, I'll count down. Seconds to 9!" hearing that, Mark immediately snatched the arrow from Abel's hand. And immediately ran away from the pursuit of Abel, Axel and now added Adel.

"SECOND 5!" scream Clark.

Mark looked cornered on the lips of the ravine. He threw the arrow at Nack. The one behind Abel and his friend. But I haven't touched the arrow yet. Nack has been hit by Abel, Adel and Axel until he fell, stacked by the three of them. The arrow continues to fly. Who was eventually captured by Franco's whip.

"Second to 1!, the match is over!" said Clark.

Franco seemed to be smiling with satisfaction at his victory. And Mark came to him immediately. Adel, Abel and Axel rise from the ground, followed by Nack. Who immediately approached his friends.

"It is clear who is the winner, you are the loser" said Franco, still holding Abel's bow in his left hand. While Little Jean still looks at home in Clark's sling, behind his burly back.

"Yes we lost, not because you guys are stronger than us. But just because you guys are more solid than us" Abel said, then whispered something to Adel.

"Are you ready to make us die together, Adel?" asked Abel, who was heard by Axel.

"Yes, I'll use my shirt. To cut off the heads of the three of us together" said Adel, then from his fingertips. Out came the steel thread that was waddling their bodies, which seemed to form a triangle, towards their necks.

Seeing that Clark immediately acted quickly. Like the wind, he then darted and pecked at the three. The three of them were unable to move at all. Which makes Adel's steel thread stop moving.

"As for speed, I'm the fastest of you all" Clark said in a loud voice.

"KILL US, IF WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO KILL OURSELVES!" abel shouted, filled with emotion.

"No, and we won't let you do that. We just want to be consistent with our initial agreement. You lose, it means you have to come with us to Mount Well" Clark said.

"We're not consistent with our agreement. But the thing is, the Leader and the other New Guys will definitely hunt us down wherever we are. Because we have failed in our duty!" obviously Abel.

Clark seemed silent to Abel's explanation. Clark can't seem to provide any more solutions for the three of them.

Mark stepped forward and stood beside Clark. To provide solutions to the three of them.

"Don't mind them. I'll talk to Grandpa Well, so he can protect you three. In the worst case, the New Guys Leader will arrest you. But that's with the record of you staying on Mount Well, and obeying the rules there. The problem is with you, is there an intention or don't you want to change for the better of the moment?" mark said, it seemed the three of them were thinking, especially Abel who finally made a decision.

"Well, we will follow you to Mount Well" said Abel.

"Clark, let go of that tootch, we're going to Mount Well now" Mark said, and Clark then released the photo to all three of them.

"This is your bow, thank you for the loan" Clark said, returning the bow to Abel. Who immediately put it, behind his shoulders back.

"This is your arrow" said Franco, then returned the arrow to Abel who immediately put it in place.

"Mount Well, 1000 km to the northwest of here. Let's go now. The faster, the better," said Mark, then down the Rock Hill, followed by Clark who was still holding Little Jean. Abel, Axel, Adel, Franco and Nack are behind Clark. They ran at high speed, to get to Mount Well as fast as possible.
