Chapter LXXIV: Ballester vs. Hallester

Chapter LXXIV: Ballester vs Hallester 

Ballester leaves Mollyester’s room and checks in on Gorgax. “Hey babe.” Ballester says. 

“What’s up?” Gorgax asks. 

“Did you, uh, hear that?” 

“Yes, I did.” 

“Are you mad?” 

“No, why would I be?” 

“Cause I just fucked Mollyester.” 

“Yeah, I can smell it on you. She’s your wife just as much as I am, and it’s not the first time, I just wasn’t included this time.” 

“And that doesn’t piss you off?” 

“She’s on her way out anyway, I understand." 

“You’re really cool about this whole thing.” 

“Maybe it’s the meds, but I don’t really care." 

“Ok, well, feel better babe."  

“You too.” She says as she nods off. 

“The hell did you give her?” Ballester asks Nyvar. 

“Oh, she said she was hurting again, so I gave her some more meds, why?” Nyvar says. 

“Cause she passed out.” 

“Then leave her alone, let her sleep, she needs to heal.” 

“Fine.” Ballester leaves and heads out of the hospital, back to the lobby. “Sup, Arizona?” He says as he walks past her. 

“Ballester?” Arizona asks. 

“Yeah.” 

“Nice to see you.” 

“Hah.” 

“Shut up.” 

“Glad to see you up and about.” 

“Yeah, well, I slept long enough, don’t you think?” 

“Well, yeah. But again, thanks for saving our asses.” 

“I’d do it again in a heartbeat.” 

“Even though it almost killed you?” 

“Yup.” 

“Well, thank you again.” 

“No problem, boss.” 

“We’re home now, you don’t have to call me that anymore.” 

“How does that work?” 

“I don’t f*****g know, ask Serge.” 

“Alright, well I’ll see you later.” 

“Hah.” 

“F**k you.” She walks away, laughing. Ballester ends up running into Hallester. 

“Sup, bruh?” 

“I heard a rumor that Molly is leaving?” Hallester says. 

“Yeah, she tried killing my wife, so she’s gotta go.” Hallester punches Ballester in the face. “What the f**k was that for?” 

“Because if you don’t want her, I’ll take her!” 

“Dude, she doesn’t want you, I’m pretty sure she made that perfectly clear to you.” 

“F**k you!” They get into a fistfight. Hallester, with his bulletproof skin feels nothing, whereas Ballester feels everything. Hallester elbows Ballester in the throat, and Ballester kicks him right back in the balls. The skin may be bulletproof, but the testes inside aren’t. He felt that s**t and dropped right to the ground. So here’s how Hallester’s power works. He’s invincible to ballistic weapons and explosives. However, If someone put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger, he’s dead. If they put it to his temple, he’ll be ok. If he gets shot in the nuts, the skin will be alright, but his testes will still shatter. Unless his eyes are closed, he can still get shot in the eye and killed, but it’s such a small target, it'd have to be point blank range to kill him. Any shot he feels will just be a vibration. He can’t get cut either, unless a knife is shoved in his mouth, nose, or eyes. 

“Guys, seriously?” Serge asks. 

“Take it back, Serge!” Hallester yells. 

“Take what back?” 

“Don’t let Molly leave!” 

“Sorry, it’s out of my hands.” 

“How? I thought you were the Ultimate Ruler!” 

“I am, but murdering family and coworkers isn’t something I let slide here.” 

“Well, f**k you too!” Hallester runs to the hospital, and into Mollyester’s room. “Babe!” 

“Ugh, I told you Hal, I don’t want you.” Mollyester says. 

“Yeah, but if we got married then they can’t kick you out, right?” 

“I... I don’t know...” Serge and Ballester followed Hallester to the hospital. 

“Nothing you say will change my mind.” Serge says. 

“This is all his f*****g fault!” Hallester says, pointing to Ballester. 

“How is it my fault?” Ballester asks. 

“Because you’re the reason she’s crazy!” 

“She was crazy when I met her, bro.” 

“Uh hello, sitting right here!” Mollyester asks. 

“Shut up, we’re talking here!” Hallester says. 

“If I could get up, I’d kick your a*s right now!” 

“B***h, please. You couldn’t kick my a*s if I gave you all the free shots in the world.” 

“Wanna bet?” She reaches next to her and takes her gun, and shoots him in the balls. 

“F**k!” Ballester takes this opportunity to kick him in the head a few times. Nyvar, hearing the gunshot, comes into the room. 

“The f**k is going on here?” Nyvar says, as she sees Hallester unconscious on the ground. “What’d you do?” 

“F****r thought I was his property or something.” 

“Ugh. Serge, I’m gonna need to borrow your laser scalpel.” 

“Why? He only got shot in the nuts.” Serge says. 

“Yeah, I gotta check him, make sure everything’s ok in there, and if not, I have to remove the damaged tissue.” Serge leaves, and comes back with his laser tools while Ballester and Nyvar get Hallester onto a gurney and wheel him out for surgery, Nyvar taking Serge’s tools. 

“I gotta admit, that was kinda funny.” Ballester says. 

“And to think, you want me out.” Mollyester says. 

“I can’t forgive you for trying to kill my wife.” 

“Why not?” 

“Because I love her more!” 

“Oh...I see.” 

“You should have known that already.” 

“On some level I did.” 

“How are you gonna spend your last 36 hours?” 

“Well, I’m gonna lie here as long as I can, I don’t have anything to bring with me anyway, there’s no need to pack. Everything in the apartment was there when I got here.” 

“Well, ok then, I’m gonna go check on my brother.” 

“Weren’t you just fighting?” 

“Yeah, but he’s still my brother.” 

“And I’m still your wife.” 

“Oh, just give it up already.” 

“I can’t, could you send Sal in? I wanna talk to him before I have to leave.” 

“Why?” 

“I wanna know why he betrayed me.” 

“Fine, whatever.” Ballester leaves Mollyester’s room, heads to Sallester’s apartment and knocks. 

“What’s up, dad?” Sallester asks. 

“Your mom wants to see you, she’s in the hospital, room 2.” 

“I have a bad feeling about it.” 

“Just come get me if you need me. Be careful, she has a gun on her.” Ballester and Sallester head towards the hospital, and Sallester goes into Mollyester’s room, while Ballester heads to the OR. “How’s he doin’, hun?” Nyvar is suturing Hallester’s sack when Ballester comes in. 

“His sack is empty, she blew them up when she shot him.” Nyvar says. 

“Ooh, that’s gotta hurt.” Ballester takes this opportunity to punch the unconscious Hallester in the face repeatedly. 

“Was that really necessary?” 

“We’re still fighting, so yes.” 

“Like I said earlier, you’re a child.” 

“Don’t talk to your father like that.” 

“Sorry dad, but it’s true.” 

“Look, maybe one day you’ll find out how much fun it is to mess with people for no reason.” 

“I highly doubt it.” 

“Don’t knock it till you try it.” 

“I grew up with three brothers, and you and mom, I’m over it.” 

“Well, you’re no fun.” 

“I never said I was.” 

“How long until he’s awake?” 

“Are you kidding? He’s gonna be out for at least a couple of days.” 

“Oh, I’m not gonna let him live this down, I’m gonna be calling him ‘empty sack’ from now on. Hahahaha.” Nyvar rolls her eyes. 

“Child.” 

“Oh, get a sense of humor.” 

“I have one, but not your immature kind. Maybe I should be grateful.” 

“Why?” 

“Because if you, mom, and Molly didn’t act like children, I’d be bored out of my mind.” 

“See? That’s the spirit!” 

“I was being sarcastic.” 

“I kinda wanna nail him to the table.” 

“What is wrong with you?” 

“Where do you wanna begin?” 

“Help me take him to his room.” They wheel Hallester out of the OR and put him in the room next to Mollyester’s. Ballester picks him up, and throws him on the bed. “Not so rough.” 

“He can’t feel it anyway, what’s the difference?” 

“Good thing you don’t work in healthcare, you’d make a terrible nurse.” 

“Yeah, well, my speciality is the opposite.” 

“I know, dad. Look, it’s getting late. Why don’t you head back to your apartment, and come back around noon tomorrow, that’s when I’ll be discharging mom so you guys can have your special anniversary.” 

“Sounds good, kiddo. Good night.” 

“Good night, dad, I love you.” 

“I love you too, hun.” Ballester leaves the hospital and stops by Serge’s lab. “Quite an eventful day, huh?” 

“Yeah, what is with everyone today?” Serge asks. 

“I don’t know. By the way, with our anniversary tomorrow, I’m sure you’ll understand if I don’t work.” 

“Yeah, yeah, it’s a’ight.” 

“A’ight, cool.” Ballester heads back to his apartment.
