Gina’s Uncle (of sorts..)

A few days after the Last Crazy Blue raid…

Gina and Tom woke up tied up..

“What the…..?”

They looked around the chapel confused and bewildered by how pristine it all looked..

“Do you like it, it took me and my clan years to put it back together…”

Tom and Gina looked to see Draxum without his helmet..

“Hello you two, how have you been?”

“You, you’re that crazed lunatic that took down Marel’s family!!” Said Tom

“How?”

“Security Cameras!!” Said Gina

“What…… Are those?”

“Arghhh, Ok you’ve got us, now what do you want with us?!”

“…… I’ve been looking for your father children, do you by chance know—“

“Yeah we know about that, why are you looking for him?!!!” Demanded Tom

“……. Because he was my brother, he left when he had a sacred duty to preform, he was engaged to another chosen from our enemy to bring about an alliance by our clan’s leader but…… the wiggly little fool left just when it had began and left us in a fight for our lives, I….. was the only one to survive!!”

“….. wait so…..”

“That’s right, in a way I’m your like your uncle!!”

“Great, at we know more of our extended family is just as worse as our regular one!!” Said Gina annoyed..

“What do you mean?”

“You wait however many goddamn years to show your face, came back and now you want to **** us!!”

“On the contrary, you see it did take me years to find your father hiding spot, but little did I realize that he started an entire family of sorts, and with you two alive, it means I can revitalize my clan back to its former glory!!”

“What the hell are you on about?!!” Demanded Gina confused

“Our god, nay….. the Will of the Universe gave our clan the means to punish all, the armor I wear contains the souls of many who stood before us, the weak, the unenlightened, the ones who couldn’t think for themselves and came to us…. Everyone and…… anyone!!” He said chillingly

Gina and Tom looked at him a bit scared of his tone and the way he spoke about what his people did…

“I saved the armor, and in return it let me live on for years with every soul I gave it, and now soon I’ll take this entire town’s souls and…… I want you two by my side…”

“Why….. the fuck…… would I ever agree to something…… as STUPID AS THAT?!!!!”

“….. excuse me?!” Said Draxum confused breaking out of his insane rambling

“You’re crazy, that things not a god, it’s a trickster, Ora doesn’t care about what you do—- Arghhhh!!!”

“GINA!!”

Draxum grabbed her by the throat and looked at her angrily

“You dare?!……. YOU DARE SPEAK ABOUT MY IDEALS, MY CAUSE LIKE YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS?!!!!”

He threw Gina violently against the chapel wall..

“Please…….. I—-“

“YOURE OUR MY BLOOD, YOU SHOULD BE OVERJOYED TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY LIKE SO MANY OTHERS!!!”

“You sent that ninja girl…… to kill me…”

Draxum sighed and tired to retain his composure..

“I did….. and I’m sorry….. but i wanted to see if you had what it takes to be….here with us!”

The Soulless came barging into the church to aid their master as they could sense his emotional outburst.

“Calm yourselves….. I’m fine, why wouldn’t I be….. you’re….. reconnecting with the family….. after…… all these long…. Hard years……” he said trying to reassure himself..

“The hell did I just walk into?” Daniel asked confused

Daniel came inside as Draxum looked at him unamused..

“Ohhh it’s you….. speak your piece “assassin…”

“Again with that, if you were half the leader I am, you’d let me end them and give me my—“

“Enough, Im merely being hospitable to our guests it also helps that I possess some caution to my enemies and their plans”

“Caution?!, you’re shown anything but caution, if you’d show a bit of caution you’d let me—!!”

“ENOUGH, STOP BARKING YOUR ORDERS TO ME, OR ELSE….. I’ll take your soul for my collection..”

“Okay Okay, you’ve made your point..”

Tom looked at Gina as she smiled to him, Tom sighed some relief looking at Draxum..

“Tch Good luck, it’s not like Linsey’s going to back down from this fight..” said Tom trying to egg him on..

“Who….?”

“She’s a bitch, of course she’s going to back down once her life’s on the line!!”

“Who….. is Linsey?”

“She’s the new leader of the school, I couldn’t stand against her no matter what tricks I pulled!”

“So you were beaten by someone else?!!”

“She was just…. Too strong….. but…. If you beat her maybe…. I’d see a reason to join you….. Uncle…”

“……. Really, you’d be willing to join me if I—“

“Please the girls just trying to earn your favor, if you’re kill that pain in the ass, you should at least take her along with you!!”

“Dammit!” Thought Gina

“For once assassin….. we agree, I think my grand daughter would most enjoy such a delightful spectacle wouldn’t you?”

“Offf course, can you at least unchain me though?”

“Heheh, not yet…. But after I beat this “Linsey” with but a itch of life, I’ll let you free and give her to you as a gift when I take her soul… Gina..” he said happily to her taking her along with him…

Daniel walked with them out the church as Tom noticed a pocket knife fall from his jacket..

They exited the chapel as Tom quickly wiggled his way to it, cutting his bonds and freeing himself..

“I’ve got to go after them!!” Said Tom fearing for his sister’s life.
