BONK POTENTIA                             By Gus

Half man, half cactus. Bonk was born unlike any other, one parent a cactus, the other a human. Bonk was indistinguishable from anyone else by anything except from the spikes that covered his skin. His birth came when a wizard merged the parts of his parents, Oda Potentia and Cactus V Bartholomew. As Bonk grew his father, Oda, told him of how he was in a time that he didn't belong to and that in his time he was the brother of a king and that one day Bonk would get to meet his uncle. Many years passed and Bonk trained with his parents as they moved around the world of Rathnir, basking in the hot sun.

Bonk had grown into a fine Cactus man, at the age of 18 (quite youthful for a cactus) his father, Cactus V Bartholomew had left to join a town called Wordesh. While Bonk stayed with Oda as they continued to travel. Oda Took his son and brought him to a mighty wall. Those mighty walls were those of the great city of Galadonn. Oda thought this a good time to explain why they were here.

“My son, before we go in this place, I must explain why we are here” Oda told his son, “A long time ago, something to this day I cannot explain happened. I was sent back in time, and this is when it happens, my 15 year old self is about to get sent back 20 years”

“Nice story, so why are we really here?” Bonk replied

“Just come with me, and then see what you think.” Bonk went with his father, who despite his age was still as agile as ever. They approached a giant castle with big wooden doors and a guard standing outside holding a halberd. “What brings ye ‘round ‘ere travler?” The guard asked in a very colloquial tone. “I request presence with Commander Cactus V Bartholomew'' Oda responded in a perfectly opposite tone.

“ ‘ang on for a sec’ then mate” The guard said, opening the great wooden doors and stepping inside.

After a while the guard came back out and brought with him the Commander, a green cactus man with a sword on his waist. “It’s time” Oda announced to the group

“Time for what?” Bonk asked

“Do you not remember what I told you?” The group went inside the Commander at the front who was talking quietly to Oda out of earshot of Bonk. “yo’rite boy?” The guard asked Bonk who was quite bewildered by this question as he had never spoken to someone so vulgar before. “Well, I'm not quite sure what's going on here, my father tells me that his younger self is about to be sent 20 years into the past”

“HA HA HA HA, You’s a chuckle me lad!”

“It would be funny, but I’m not joking”

“Oh, well then, me gra’est apologies. So, your father, I kno’ a geeza that looks just like ‘im, y’no I wo’da thinked they is rela’ed. Oda, they are callin ‘im” Bonks face went flat and he stared dead at the guard “Oda?”

“Eye, Oda. Ya kno’ ‘im?”

“I think I might”

Bonk caught up with Oda and Cactus, “You were being serious?” Bonk asked in a panic.

“Have I ever lied to you before?” Oda replied as they approached a huge room with a throne at one end and a very distinguished looking man sat in it. “Commander? Who are these people?” The man in the throne asked

“Look at your brother, Cassius,” Cactus replied. Cassius looked to the side where a young Oda was turning into dust before their eyes. Cassius jumped out of his seat and ran towards his disintegrating brother, “MY BROTHER! HE IS DYING, HELP ME!”

“He is not dying. He is being sent 20 years into the past. Just as I did.”

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN?” Cassius screamed, holding what was left of his brother in his hands.

“I am your brother Cassius, I am Oda, This is my child, Bonk. I was sent back in time 20 years ago, 20 years have passed, and here I am.” Bonk gave a quaint little wave to Cassius. “NO! YOU DARE LIE TO ME LIKE THIS? I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD!” Cassius ran at Oda with sword in hand. “YOU WILL PAY FOR MOCKING THE DEATH OF MY BROTHER!”

Swords clashed, that of Cassius and that of Cactus V Bartholomew. “He is telling the truth, I was there with him. Bonk is my child as well. Cassius, this is your brother” Cactus exclaimed. Cassius stopped dead in his tracks and looked at Oda saying nothing.

“Is it true?” Cassius asked Oda.

“Yes, Cassius, I am your brother.” Oda spoke softly

“This is very reminiscent of another time where you didn't believe that Oda was who he says he is and you nearly killed him” A voice butted in, They were sat on a smaller throne beside the main one. A magenta man with a beautifully bald head, Gus the Great. Cassius threw his sword at him, the hilt of it hitting Gus on the head.

“I don’t need your input on this” Cassius demanded

“Sorry my Lord” Gus murmured

“So, that makes you my nephew!” Cassius announced to Bonk “How wonderful that is, and now my younger brother is 17 years older than me”

“Indeed, Uncle Cassius, It's very nice to meet you sir.”
