Carnage Cycle

Somewhere, in another dimension, Red Cobra is hired to kill a gangster. He prepares his black and red gun, his red glowing sword, he puts on the red metallic skull mask, he puts his black hoodie on, with the hood, and enters the place where his target was.

He killed some of his mobs. The other mob noticed this and tried to stop him, but they were unable to. They got sliced, and shot. The gangster's wife was seeing Red Cobra in action, sobbing with a knife, and asked him:

"Please, don't kill him… Don't kill him… Don't-"

Cobra shot her in the head, went inside, and finished his job.

Much later, he arrived home, and decided to write down the novel he was writing. He typed those words in, and the novel seemed less like a story and more of a sadistic brainstorm. Afterwards, he entered his battle room… And began practising.

Meanwhile, the dimension trio arrived in another dimension. They were stepping on clouds, with the sky lacking any of them, and the sun was shining.

"Original. Am I right?" asked Howard.

"This isn't original, Vaporwave!" Said Farshtey. "Wait, are you being sarcastic again?"

"Yes, I am, it's… Wait, that's new"

"What is?"

"I am seeing exclusively Red, Orange, and Purple buildings and such over there"

"It has to be made of stone" said Synthwave.

"It must, or else it's going to be quite catastrophic" replied Howard.

"Wait… What are you two talking about?" asked Farshtey

"You see, Farsh, this dimension might have… Let's say it might also have stormy grounds and it would be downright dangerous" clarified Howard.

"But why stone?"

"Because it can easily protect you from lightning"

They kept walking until they arrived in the city. Red skinned people are habitating it.

"Hurm"

"These are… Wait, are they what I think they are?" asked Farshtey.

"Well… They are, literally" replied Howard "Unless your dimension also has literally-"

"Actually, no, mine I believe have regular skin"

Then the three of them saw how a man was being chased by Red Cobra, with the latter screaming "YOU WILL GET BACK HERE!"

Some people got in his way, so he decided to attack them. A little kid was about to get his life taken away until Red Cobra saw vapour and noticed that his sword was clashing towards something…

Another sword.

"Are you alright, champ?" asked Vaporwave to the kid.

"Yes! Thank you sir!"

"It's nothing. Just try to go somewhere safe… And look away, because this is going to get nasty, ok?"

Then the child escaped, and Synthwave kicked Red Cobra.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY! There's a target I need to murder" said Red Cobra.

"You will not murder anyone, outlaw!" said Farshtey.

Red Cobra let a human roar and ran towards them, while Vaporwave ran towards him, and their swords collided, again and again.

Cobra evaded a slash from Vaporwave and shot him in the back with his gun, damaging him. The two of them then later stared down.

"Those moves…" said Red Cobra in a low tone.

"What?" asked Vaporwave.

Farshtey then tried to shoot Cobra, but he evaded the attacks, and deflected a blast.

"I've seen those moves before… Impossible"

After one second, Howard freezed for ten seconds. He noticed the gun… The sword…

His hand that was holding the sword was shaking.

"I fought two people like you before… I hope they are burning in the nether as we speak" said Red Cobra with a calm, venomous voice.

Vaporwave kept shaking the sword… He held it very tight, screamed intensely, and went running towards his enemy.

Their swords clashed, again.

Farshtey asked to Synthwave "What's… Happening?"

And he replied "I… Don't know. But we have to stop him" and they ran towards their new enemy.

Red Cobra kicked Vaporwave, making him crash into a wall. He then saw Synthwave and Farshtey were approaching him, and he told them in a growling voice: "I'll kill you three later"

He then used a smoke bomb, and escaped.

Synthwave then looked at Vaporwave, who was striking a blow to the ground while screaming.

Red Cobra finally found the target, and executed him.

Repeatedly.

He then returned to his house, sat down, and started to write his own work. Much later, he decided to practise his hunting skills.

His anger gets replaced with logic… He realises a quality that Vaporwave had, and decides to call someone to get a gadget.

Meanwhile, the dimension trio were talking about Red Cobra.

"Howard… Are you alright?" asked Synthwave

"It's him… It's him…" He murmured.

"Who?" asks Farshtey.

"Red sword… Red blasting gun… He knew where my moves came from… It's him"

Synthwave freezed for a second, and then told Farshtey while taking him away from Howard "This is his opponent"

"What? This is also our opponent, kid! He's a criminal!"

"Yes, but we will not intervene unless he's in trouble"

"Why? Explain that to me, because I am not understanding anything"

"He isn't just any foe to Howard, he and his parents have fought him before, he never saw them again"

Farshtey then kept his face frozen for some moments.

Synthwave then decides to use his RV to try and locate Red Cobra. He didn't appear until the next day. Synthwave charged up his batteries during the time gap, while Farshtey was still as energetic as ever despite not sleeping…

And so was Vaporwave.

After seeing it, Howard dropped, transformed, and landed on the ground.

"You again?!" asked Cobra.

"You and I have unfinished business… MURDERER…" said Howard with the last word said with a lot of venom.

Red Cobra then activated a watch, and said "So were your masters"

"My parents… They were my parents!"

"... I see… You're wasting my time just so you can kill me… Well, guess what, do you see this watch? If I die… I'll take a child with me" he said.

Vaporwave flinched, and froze for a few seconds.

"Where is he?"

"In my house…" he said while putting a private live video, with a child tied up to a chair with the watch "You'll never have the chance to kill me"

Vaporwave summoned vapour to make his sword disappear, and then ran towards Red Cobra, trying to punch him, but Cobra shot him with his own gun, but he managed to evade it, summoning vapour around the battle.

"What happens if I try to take that watch away from you by force?"

"He will die. However, if you take the watch away from him, he should be perfectly fine"

Vaporwave appeared from behind and punched him repeatedly, disarming him. He was about to knock him down until Red Cobra evaded the attack and kicked him. He then ran towards Vaporwave trying to give a finishing attack, but the former grabbed him by the neck and tossed him to the ground.

"WHERE IS YOUR HOUSE?!"

"... Try Red Cloud Street, 209"

Vaporwave dropped him harshly to the ground, and called Synthwave "We must go to Red Cloud Street 209 NOW!"

"We'll be there, handle him"

"Gladly"

But Vaporwave turned and saw smoke disappearing, he raised his head a bit, and he decided to tell Synthwave "Take me with you! I am having a bad feeling about this!"

The dimension trio arrived at the house. Vaporwave turned off the camera, took off his watch, and hugged him, cooling him off.

After an hour of waiting for him to show up, the dimension trio were walking towards the RV. Everything was silent. They were going inside, and they left for another dimension… Without knowing there was a tracker planted by a Synthwave lookalike, with darker brown clothing and purple dots for eyes.

"Finally… I have found you"
