Urban Rivals Tales (An Urban Rivals Fanfic)

Part 1: Kharl’s Story…


It had all began innocently enough. Kharl the contortionist used to watch from the shadows the high-wire act of Diyo with avid determination. One may question Kharl’s motives as to why he would do such a thing but you see, Diyo was everything Kharl was not. He was strong, nimble and athletic, able to grace the skies above with his high-wire hi-jinks and stun the crowd with his death-defying balancing acts. Also, Diyo was blue and that was also an attention getter.
Kharl ignored the applause from the audience and held his breath, waiting for the person he really wanted to see.
After Diyo went off to the side, the lights dimmed down and a spotlight shone on the backdrop of the black and red-striped circus tent. In the spotlight was a gorgeous young-looking woman with pale skin and blue hair. She was sitting in a round circle that was held to the top of the ring with a wire. This was the lovely Maamoon, the person Kharl had been waiting to see. Wether it was the fact she was beautiful in his eyes or that he felt he and her were destined to be, Kharl could not say. In fact, he could not say much but watch with somewhat saddened bliss as Maamoon started her act on the round trapeze.
“You ain’t got a chance with her, mate,” stated a voice Kharl knew only too well.
Kharl turned his head after a second and he had to force himself to look away from the girl he secretly adored.
The person who spoke gruffly was Crassus, the main clown (and only clown for that matter) in the Freaks Circus.
With a cigar in his mouth and bowler hat upon his head, the colourful clown appeared to smirk cruelly with a twisted grin. But, with his make-up on, Kharl was unsure if it was just the clown get up or Crassus who was really grinning. Crassus was not really a friend of anyone because like they knew how to push his buttons, he knew how to push theirs.
“Why do ya say that?” asked Kharl while turning back to look at Maamoon who was upside down hanging by her feet on the trapeze ring.
“Because, you are ugly. Not only that, she never comes down for anything. Not even Diyo can get to her,” muttered Crassus with his usual gravelled voice.
At this, Kharl snapped back to what Crassus was saying and gazed away once again from Maamoon.
“What’s Diyo got ta do with all this??” asked Kharl angrily.
“Nothing. But I just wondered how you’d react,” stated Crassus heartily as he puffed out his cigar smoke as the audience cheered and he walked away onto the ring to do his act.
Kharl watched Crassus walk away into the ring and gazed up at where the spotlight was that had Maamoon in it. He knew she was still there, hidden in the darkness. He could only dream or think what she might be thinking. Yet, it all seemed so useless.
‘Crassus is right. Why would a girl like her hang out with a freak like me? What’s the point?’ thought Kharl to himself as he felt his heart sink to his stomach and turned away from the laughter of the audience that was watching Crassus and left the main tent.

Diyo was blue. Have you ever seen the movie (originally a TV miniseries, and still _more_ originally a book) "The Five People You Meet In Heaven"? Its theology was all wrong, but it featured a blue-skinned man who was well portrayed by Jeff Daniels.

Yeah, I've seen that. It was pretty weird at the end, though. Can't recall much of it off-hand but I do remember it partly...including the blue man.


(part 2 of Part (Story) 1)

Outside it was dark, it seemed somewhat darker to Kharl. The Freaks Circus was playing some hick town on the outskirts of Clint City. Ever since they were no longer able to perform within City Limits, the Freaks Circus became a travelling act instead of a one-town (or in this case city) circus.
With the laughter drifting from his ears with every step he took, Kharl made his way back to the admissions booth, which is where he worked when not in the Freak Show as The Gruesome Contortionist. Sighing slightly to himself as he put on his Attendant hat, Kharl closed the booth door behind him and glanced at the faded poster of Maamoon that was inside his booth. This Admission Booth was also Kharl’s home and trailer, one of Boris’s brilliant ideas.
“Why put you in a new trailer or cage, my boy? It is far better and less expensive to put you into the place where you will be working,” Boris had stated when Kharl was signed up to the circus.
Kharl had agreed with this, he was used to being in a small place. Larger areas made him feel cold and uncomfortable and being a contortionist Kharl was able to be happy in a small and cramped area. Being hunched over regularly because he was too tall if he stood up straight, Kharl gazed out and up at the stars from his windowpane that was at the front of the booth.
On occasions Kharl used to think of what may happen if he and Maamoon fled the circus and lived their lives happily together. It was a wonderful yet secret desire of Kharl’s though he knew it might never come true.
What made things worse was that there was a full moon out tonight, making Kharl keep on thinking about Maamoon. Kharl was so wrapped up in his thoughts that Kharl did not hear the growling sound until suddenly a savage beast appeared in front of his window.
Shouting out in fright, Kharl awkwardly stepped back, making him tumble against the back wall of the attendant booth.
