REAPER
"Not fast enough" King said, me ending up on my ass again. We'd been training my Speed for weeks now. It was frustrating. I punched the ground
"When is it fast enough?" I asked
"When you can do this" King replied, lifting his hand and using Speed on just his fingers. They were a blur. Suddenly an orb of compressed air appeared in his palm. Kings fingers slowed down and he kept the ball of air in his hand "Can you do this yet?"
"No" I spat
"Exactly. So you'll train with your Speed until you can" King replied
"Fuck you" I replied
"Excuse me?" He asked, walking towards me. Suddenly I couldn't move. For fuck sake. This again. I closed my eyes and concentrated hard. I could handle this. Wolf's was stronger than this. "This is a good time to train your Influence as well" King said. I concentrated harder, picturing myself imposing my will over him. Suddenly our training was broken by a villager running into our hut
"Red Haired Emperor!" He gasped
"What is it?" King asked
"A Black Cat is here sir! With an army of Chasers! They have two outsiders as hostages!". King sighed and turned to me
"We'll continue with this later" he said "follow me". We exited out hut which was on the top of the hill and immediately saw rank upon rank of Chasers. They immediately aimed their guns at us. Quick as a flash, King had his sword drawn
"Stop" a voice called. A stout, ugly man was climbing the stairs to us. He had a girl walking with him. Except he was pointing a gun at her head. Behind them, a boy was handcuffed and lead by four guards, a broadsword hanging from his side. As they drew nearer, I recognised them. The gun was a Desert Eagle made of 24 carat gold. The girl had long, red hair and a beautiful face. The guy was tall with jet black hair. Valentine and Whiplash. King walked down to meet the man, me at his side
"What are they doing here?" I asked King
"Not a clue"
"Red Haired Emperor" the man said. He was short and fat and had the look of an over privileged man with greasy blonde hair and small, piggish green eyes
"Black Cat Marcen I believe" King replied
"So you know of me? It's expected of course. Everyone knows of me" he replied.
"What do you want?" King said. Marcen blinked
"To make a deal"
"I'm all ears" King replied
"I have permission to make this area my territory" Marcen said
"From who?"
"This places previous owner, Pitch Black"
"The Elite Hunter"
"Correct. Anyway, I wish to post myself and my troops here without them being slaughtered by powerful Frighters, like yourself and your companion, the She Demon" he said, gesturing towards me. The She Demon? I liked that.
"I have three choices. One, leave. Which I shall not do. Two, try to fight you for this land, which again, is not the best plan, or Three, i let you and these Frighters do whatever you want, but get rule over the peasants and commoners."
"So you'll let me and my Crew do what we want?" King asked
"I will. I just want control over the lower town"
"Deal" King said. Marcen gave him a grin
"Wonderful! I'm keeping this gun though" he said, releasing Whiplash and Valentine. He started walking back down the stairs, then turned around
"If you do double cross me, I have a microchip on my brain that signals to every Chaser, Gaia and Shade nearby. You'll be dead. Even you can't take on that many foes" then he walked away. So much for Paradise.
