Shovel Brotha Ep3.




Footsteps and keys could be heard jingling behind the metal door. "I hear ya talkin' to someone down there.  What cha done gone stir crazy?  I'll fix ya alright." A fat sweaty pale skinned man with suspenders, suede shoes, and a shotgun on his shoulder swings the door open with a CLANG.  He flips a switch and the room buzzes with a blue fluorescent light.  The pale man's gold and ruby ring shines in the light.  The ring whispers to him in a sinister voice, "Don't be fooled -- someone's in here with the girl."  A pile of dirt sits on the concrete floor in the corner of the dank basement.

"You ain't the first one to come up in here try'na take what's mine.  I can smell ya stench blacky -- witcha frankincense and Myrrh.  Come on out heah!  I might just bury you instead of feeding you to my dogs."

Shovel Brotha shows himself.  Immediately the man in suspenders swings his shotgun in a downward arc taking aim, and fires.  Shovel brother does a roll-out under the gunfire and breaks the mans knee with his shoulder as he grabs hold of his leg and brings him to the ground.  He then kicks his leg over the man's body and hits his chin shattering his teeth.

"Poppa! You alright!?" Two twenty something year old men scream down the stairway.
Shovel Brotha scrambles to snatch the mans double barrel shotgun just in time to fire at one of them running into the basement firing a pistol.  The shotgun hits the young man sending him flying into the basement wall, cracking his head open on impact.

The other man who is large as a bear screams "Cletus! Poppa!"

The ruby ring yells at the boy.  "No time to grieve Bobby.  Give me your body."  The ring slices through the pale man's finger and places itself on Bobby's pinky.  Bobby's eyes start to glow red.  His eyelashes singe from the heat coming from them.  "This woman's spirit belongs to me.  She is the hope of black women everywhere.  She stays here.  You can't have her!"

[Shovel Brotha theme song plays]

Possessed the with the evil power of the ruby ring the Bear-like Bobby speeds at Shovel Brotha with a devastating reverse punch, sending him hurdling across the room.  Shovel Brotha slaps his forearms to the ground to stop his tumble and does an Ibuki breath.

The woman screams "Watch out!"

Shovel Brotha esquivas a vicious left hook and returns it with an Armada spinning kick.   The kick brings the possessed Bobby's head careening to the floor leaving a crack in the cement.  Bobby gets under Shovel Brotha's legs and jumps up slamming him into the ceiling.  On the way down Shovel Brotha  snakes his legs around Bobby's shoulder, chest, and neck -- and breaks Bobby's arm as he straightens his body into a fierce arm bar.
With the power of the ring Bobby seems to not feel the pain of a broken arm.  He swings around like a helicopter and throws Shovel Brotha into a wall.

Meanwhile, the old man crawls over to the dead body of his son Cletus to grab the pistol from his clammy hand.

The woman calls to Shovel Brotha, "Dig deep and use the Axe Spirit and Chi within you!"

Shovel Brotha yells "KiiiiiAAAAAAh!" as he pushes off of the wall with his feet and Superman punches through Bobby's face.  The pale man fires three times in fear.  All three shots miss as Shovel Brotha esquivas and gingas toward him.  There are no more bullets.  Shovel Brotha crushes the other knee of the pale man with a brutal elephant stomp.

The ruby ring flies back to the fat pale man's bloody hand.   "We won't let you get away with this.  We will hunt you down!"  Shovel Brotha picks up the empty double barrel shotgun and smashes the ruby within the ring with the butt of the gun.  With the destruction of the ring the old man chokes to death on his blood and broken teeth.

The woman tells Shovel Brotha to free her with the keys that are attached to the man's belt.   He frees her and they crawl out of the basement and into the sunlight.
