It's near midnight in a dark dreary cemetery outside of Dom Pedro's compound, 20 years later. A ground of unnamed men have just exhumed Cooper Howards coffin that he had been entombed inside of by Pedro and his men. With the men's guns drawn, a chicken clucking to the side, the door of Coopers coffin was finally opened.

The sound of the creaking door was deafening as everyone remained silent

The sound of the creaking door was deafening as everyone remained silent. It was unsure if the Ghoul would be feral when he was awoken so the men were already on edge.

Rustling from the coffin was heard as the Ghoul stepped forward, his leather clad hand wrapping around the edge of the coffin as he stepped forward into the darkness.

Cooper stumbles forward, trying to catch his breath, scaring the already terrified men, their guns shaking. He coughs deeply trying to get his breath after being stuck in the coffin for 20 years.

The leader, thinks for a moment, an insidious laugh escaping his mouth, "Welcome back," he says. "I'm Huncho, now you don't even know us."

Cooper interrupts, "No, I do not," he responds low and threatening. His eyes go down to the chicken clucking around the cemetery as they stand in the moonlight.
