True Identity

"Krawwwww!"

A raven sounded circling around the forest.

"Krawwwwwww!"

Another raven seemed to respond. One by one, ravens started gathering among the clouds gliding in circular pattern.

'Damn, three-eyed ravens. Tonight is not a good night indeed' Ace looked towards them from a high tree.

Three-eyed ravens were birds that used to hunt or scavenge during the day, but ever since they mutated, they had a better vision in the night thus becoming nocturnal monsters.

Growing at a full 2 meters when reaching adulthood, they become extremely annoying when it comes to dealing with them as they have unbelievable agility in the sky. They usually hunt in flocks to reduce casualties among them making it even harder to deal with them.

"I wonder what's making them flock there, could be a clue, but Argh! But I have to deal with them if anything happens, what a pain", Ace muttered while fumbling his hair. "Damn job, why does it have to be ravens" whining to the sky as he race across the forest.

'Shit! They're breaking formation, gotta keep quiet', "Movement Technique- Wind Steps". As if by magic, he started gliding through the forest floor towards the location.

A giant brown bear lay under the lingering moonlight, hundreds of cuts was seen all over the body. The bear had a confused look like it couldn't believe it was dying. The neck was still oozing out blood while its paws was unable to move. Letting out low growls towards the ravens in the sky warning them not to make a move.

Ace was bewildered for a moment at this scene before finally regaining his composure. 'Why didn't the hunters kill it? It's head would fetch a good price and maybe the claws as well, hmm should I kill steal or..'

His thoughts was rudely interrupted when he heard faint sounds coming from the other side. Not worried about the dying bear, he glided across towards the other side ignoring its threats.

"Finally you're drained of energy keekeekee, after I'm done with you, I'll throw you to the ravens where they'll do the work for me KEEKEEKEE!", a voice sounded in the high bushes.

Ace jumped to the top of the trees to get a good look. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a young man on top of a woman bounding her limbs as she struggled wildly in desperation.

"Still got alot of energy huh, that's what I like in a woman, luckily I know how your powers work, you're mentally drained now so you can't do anything to me" the man continued as he rips the clothes of her body slowly. Two daggers hung on his waist, a dark green overcoat covered his body, a pair of retractable claws were strapped to his forearms.

'He must be the Twin Star Berserker looking at his attire but really? In the forest? Of all the places to do this shit is here?' Ace thought to himself as he scratches his head.

"Time to enjoy myself keekeekee" as he forcefully spread her legs and ripping off the pants. 'Wait a minute, that annoying laughter sounds familiar. Where have I heard of it before' Ace thought to himself as he looks at the man slowly taking off his pants.

"There's no one around to save you, so best shut up and enjoy what I'm gonna do to you", the Berserker whispered to her ear. The words took all the energy away as the woman finally stopped struggling accepting her fate. "Good girl" he praised as he started groping her body.

*Whoosh!* a throwing knife stabbed into the back of the Berserker. "Argh!" As he stood up looking around "who's there? If you got the guts, come out and fight me face to face!", he yelled towards the trees.

"Alright then" a shadow appeared in the distance, a mask covering his face. "Didn't expect that the hero Berserker would be so limp", Ace casually said while looking between the legs with mocking eyes. "Bastard! How dare you disturb my good time with this woman!", he yelled while pulling his pants up.

"Well", Ace continued looking at the pants, "she doesn't seem to enjoy your limp though" he continued with that mocking look still on his face.

"You..you..you!", the Berserker stuttered, "I'll kill you!" His eyes turning red as veins started protruding out of his skin, muscles bulge as the overcoat seemed to wrap around his body and the knife fell out of his back as the wound healed.

*Shriiing*, claws came out of his arm guards *BAM!* the ground cracked as he leaped forward arms crossed in front of him "Berserk Technique-Claws of Fury" red aura started covering his forearms to his claws and swiftly started lashing in wild frenzy.

"Wind steps" Ace glided around trying to dodge every move, and going behind trees and rocks for cover. 'Damn it, I can't use flowing wind if he's not even thinking while swinging that shit around. I only use this steps when I have to, my body is still not strong enough to handle this technique for long' Ace thought to himself while still moving around dodging the Berserker Claws slashing at him.

Suddenly the Berserker slipped for a second and seazing the chance, Ace spun while drawing his sword "Sword Drawing Technique-Sudden Wind". *Sppfff!* Blood sprayed from the Berserker arm as the sleeves were sliced apart leaving a deep cut. "Argh! Motherfucker!", he cried out as he tried to put some distance between them.

"You're not getting away from me", Ace mumbled while gliding towards him. *BOOM!* dirt and debris flew around as the Berserker pummeled the ground as a last attempt to keep his distance.

As the dust settled, Ace stood there watching the Berserker shrink to his normal size while the wound healed. He then noticed a tattoo of a snake in the form of LJ on the arm that was exposed.

"No wonder I recognised that laughter, if it isn't Lusty Jack. I thought you were dead ever since you were banned from the Assassins Union. No wonder your name was still on the Betrayers List after all this time" Ace casually announced while sheathing his katana.

"You piece of shit!", Jack cursed as he stared at the man in front of him as he drew his twin swords.
