War Chapter Six: First Man

January 6th, 2037
Las Vegas, Nevada

Emilly: You've got to be shitting me

??? (Sobbing): What? Can't cry?

Ranko only looks disappointed at the man as he is sitting at a blackjack table, Henry, Aaron, and Jeremiah just watch from the back as both girls berate the crying man.

Henry: That's the first man?

Aaron: God he's pathetic...

Jeremiah: I still feel like this is a waste of time

Aaron&Henry: Definitely

Ranko: Hey help us drag that shitbag out of here!

All the boys sigh as they pick the man up and drag him away and out of the casino with a sobbing Adam in hand.

Adam was thrown out of the Casino and Ranko picked him up by the neck.

Adam: Ow Ranko! That hurt!

Ranko (Blandly): Shut up dude your pathetic

Adam only gave her puppy eyes which made her pull him by the ear away from the Casino.

Ranko: I had one kid, Adam, don't make me treat you like her

Adam: Yeah yeah, I almost hit though so you could've just left me there, what do you need anyway, It has been years since I last saw you

Ranko (Sighing): Look Nathaniel broke an alliance between himself and Yamaguchi-Kun, and it seems like war is on the horizon with the ever-lurking breaking of Purgatory

Adam: Well that ain't good, but what do I contribute to this?

Ranko (Sighing): I was sent here by Oscar to recruit you, Now I know-

Adam: Yes, absol-fucking-luetly

All the students stood there in shock at the change of his tone from whiny to stone-cold, Ranko only smirked and stuck her hand out that Adam shook.

Ranko: Hay Adam...

Adam: What?

Ranko: Your clothes, they're gone...

Emilly passed out having Aaron laugh at her misfortune while Henry and Jeremiah looked at Adam freak out as he was bare naked beside a leaf covering his genitals.

Jeremiah: Why did we come here?

Henry: Cause we were forced...

All the antics stopped when they heard whistling in the distance and the Vegas strip with tons of people watching as a hodded figure carried around his large objects.

Adam: John's returned huh?

Ranko (Grumbling): Sadly yes

The whistling stopped and John pulled his hood off to show one of his eyes now had a pentagon in it.

John: Stop running, it's getting tiring

Ranko: Let hell I'm gonna turn myself in

John only clicked his tongue and sent the chains at Ranko where Adam got in the way of the chains his eyes flashed both red and blue at the same time and the chains ricocheted off him and straight back at John.

Adam: It had been a while huh John?

John: 1st sinner

Adam avoided more chains but John with quick speed closed the gap on Adam and pulled his butcher out and down downwards. Black flames had stopped him and Jeremiah in Mammon's form had black swirls surround his arm as the flames then pushed him back and strings attached themselves around his butcher.
