We're crazy and proud of it

CHAPTER 9 - AFTERWARDS

On the news report the lady reporter said, "In a desperate attempt to clean up after the city's attack yesterday, many were found dead. Some people see the unknown heroes known as The Crazys to be dangerous, others see them as heroes." The camera panned past a wall where Johnny had burned the crew's insignia- a big crooked grinning smiley with a capital X for the right eye and carot symbol for the left- along with the caption THE CRAZYS into the wall. She then walked over to a civilian and said, "Tell me, what do you think about our unknown heroes, the Crazys?" "They are not heroes, ok!"the man replied,

"Why would you say that?" The reporter asked.

The man finally said, "Some of my friends are now dead because of them, and to whoever the Crazys are, I say this, you'll get what's coming to you!" then he walked away sad and angry. "Well, there you have it, people hate us," Jack said with a sigh. "Sounds like someone badly wants a karmic retribution," Jodake commented. Then one lady walked up to the reporter and said, "Wait, are you talking about the Crazys?!,"

"Yes we are, What do you think about them?" The news reporter replied. "They saved my life, who am I to complain about them?" the lady said. "I would just want to say thank you!" then she walked away. "So some people's opinions differ from others," the reporter said. Then it went back to the station's headquarters. "Thank you Charlotte. And now, other opinions about our unknown heroes," the man said. He then showed tapes of what people said. "You know, it's good they're out there watching out for us." one man said. Another one then said, "I've heard they're psychos. imagine what they could do to us!" "Even if they're psychos, that doesn't excuse the fact that they saved us. They don't seem all that bad to me." one lady said. "If at all, I think they're more than heroes. They're guardians." one man said. "And that's all we've heard about them from people. What do you think in your personal opinion, Charlotte?" the man said. Charlotte then said, "I don't know. All I can say is that if the city was ever in danger again, I'd hope they'd be back to protect us." "So there you have it, folks. Who are those people and would they ever be back to protect us, should the city ever fall in danger again?" then the report came to an end. "Alright! We're gonna be famous!!!" Katon said. Jack replied, "I don't care if we we're or not. I just care everyone else is ok, don't you guys?" Jack asked. "Yeah, I guess, but as long as you're with me safe and sound, I'm happy." Karen said. "Well if you're happy, I'm happy," Jack said. "What about Etimis?" Jodake asked. "I have a feeling we won't be hearing from him for a very long time, actually y'all wanna go visit him in prison?" Jack said. "For sure! Who wants some Saki?!" Katon asked. "NOT ME!" everybody but Asaka and Katon said. "We can drink this whole bottle and don't think we won't!" Katon said. "Go for it," Jack said. "Alright class, it's time for a FIELD TRIP!" Bobby yelled walking to the Psycho Serpent. Everyone, except Asaka and Katon boarded the serpent and headed of towards the jail, on the way there Johnny played the rest of the Crazys his new favorite song "Wildfire" that he had found on youtube and Sera played her new favorite song."ECHO" "Hey Jodake, what all can Joseph do anyways?" Jack asked

"Well, let's see you already know about red eye which gives perfect aim. There's eyecam- self explanatory and berzerker mode which you already saw during the zombies, and probably a few more things to discover," Jodake said. A few hours later, they were at the prison. "Let me go at it alone." Jack said. "What about me?" Karen said. "No. I need to go about this alone. It's okay, Karen. I can handle myself," Jack said. "Ok," Karen replied. A cop went to Etimis' cell and said, "You have a visitor." "Who might that be?" Etimis said surprised. "You sound surprised, Etimis. Although you had to expect me coming," Jack said. "How's your time in here?" Jack asked. "Well, can't complain as far as jail goes, Mr. Kennway," Etimis replied. "How did you learn my last name?!" Jack said. "Oh, I know a lot about you, I-"

"Just shut up!! You don't know me," Jack said kicking the cell bars.

"In fact, I suspect I know you better than anyone, Jack. Of course that's not your real name is it?" Etimis said. "But, let's not talk about that now. This is a reunion, old friend." Etimis said. "Yeah, friend," Jack said with a scoff. "We stopped you, your hitmen, and your scientist. Oh and thanks to him, me and a few of my buddies got some neat powers." Jack said transforming his hand into a steel claw. "You're gonna be here for a very long time, Etimis. This place ain't that bad, but it's not where you're staying. Instead, I've arranged a trip to GITMO. I got some family over there. I'll leave you there to get acquainted with everyone else." Jack said. "Well, my family's already acquainted with yours you see, Jack. Your Mom's death was tragic. Especially following your family's secret past. "No one knows for sure what happened, but maybe it's time you figured it out. But I won't go there anymore. I'll escape the place. After all, I do have a vendetta to live up to. It runs in both our familie's lines." Etimis said. "And I'll be waiting for you, to settle the score. But I'm reeeal getting tired of dealing with you." Jack said. After he left, he got on the bus wondering what Etimis meant by his family and Jack's. "Did everything go okay?" Karen asked. "Etimis said something that I didn't understand. But I won't think about it now." "Hey where to next, Jack? I'm bored!!" Bobby asked. "Has anybody been to the beach? Let's go to the beach Bobby!!" Jack said. "Good idea, Jack." Bobby replied, "Beach, here we come!!"
