the hunters catch
Mavis, who was standing right next to the door had heard the sound of running and as she peers through the window to see the man charging towards them "shit, can never get a break!" Mavis pulls out her revolver from its holster and gets ready to fire until her gun falls to pieces "huh!?" the door is then busted down with the man crouched down and holding his sword with both his hands "what the hell do you want?" James asked as he gets ready to punch the swordsman but he quickly gets knocked out by the handle of the sword "hey what's the fucking problem!?" Sam gets ready to overwhelm the man with some sort of feeling but the man smirked as he hoisted his sword over his shoulder, "apologies for the trouble Mr but I'm afraid that I have some business with you." Sam formed a sphere of shame, in the hopes it would bring back a embarrassing memory for the man, as he launched the sphere at him it landed but the man wasn't affected at all which left Sam confused, Mavis charges at the man swinging and she lands one clean hit on his chin, he felt his chin and winced in pain "owie, that stings." he then swung his fist directly into Mavis' stomach which left her winded and on the floor.
he peered over to Pete who was still in his seat, but he was left alone as the man saw him as no threat "I'm guessing clockwork orange sent you?" Frank asked but there was not a peep from the man until he broke his silence "no not him though I've heard of the man, nice nickname by the way." Frank gets ready to set fire to him and turn him into ash, however the man leans on the wall and sheathed his sword, he reaches into his breast pocket and pulls out a toothpick "the person who sent me here was one who is quite famous." Pete's ears twitch "is it shigi?" he said with a jolt of excitement "keep guessing you're getting hotter." they all think for a moment until "was it.... the one who hunted linfer?" Sam mutters and then a smile spreads across the mans face "bingo we have a winner, Emerald himself decided to hire me and oh God he is not looking good now." Sam eases up as he then stood awkwardly "he told me to come and fetch you and the fodder." they state as he looks at James "in my opinion only one of you is fodder." he then taps on James body to see if he was still kicking "look all I gotta say is that you all have to meet at a bar called," he pulls out another card that has the name of the location "saint-Olives bar, oh I've been there few times, well anyways blondie you're coming with me." he then walks out of the room, Sam hugs Frank one last time before leaving and gives Pete a high five.
as the two walk out of the hospital and down the street they have a little bit of small talk "hey can I ask you, how did you actually beat Linfer?" Sam was asked and with that came an answer "well as you call him candle wick was the one to defeat him by just burning him until he was ash." the man then had a look of interest on his smug face "wow so its him I've got to thank, oh wanna hear?" he asked and Sam agreed to hearing the story "yeah sure." then Sam gets ready to hear the story of the monster himself.
it was a raining, the patterning of the rain smashing against the windows and the man, Dom sat in his apartment that was desolate, Dom sat in his red armchair with his sword at his side and all he heard was people screaming and begging for their lives "please let my wife live!" yells one of Doms old friends but Lucy didn't really care at all "hm..." suddenly the door to Dom's apartment bursted open with all he saw was Lucy and the body of his old friend, Lucy holding him by the head "morning." the monster said with glee as he looks at Dom peacefully relaxing, *sigh....* Dom then stands up "Linfer...." he mutters as he watches Lucy turn his fingers into blades "sorry for the bother Dominic but I wanted to ask you something and you wouldn't answer your phone." Lucy then pierces his blade like fingers through the corpses back "what do you want?" Dom asked and before Lucy could answer he found his hand having been sliced off "oh my." Lucy said as then Dom pierced his sword through his chest "listen up Lucy!! I'm not joining your organisation not even if it meant life or death!" Dom stated while Lucy didn't seem threatened by Dom or his empty threats until.... "my limb isn't growing back?" he then saw Dom's sword being coated in a toxin that would slow down Lucy's regeneration "you fucking ba-- ahhhh shit!!" Lucy watches as the veins in his body seemingly turn a dark green "good luck healing from this." then he pulls his sword out from Lucy's chest and sheathed it, running out the window and hiding away but Lucy found a way to combat the poison.
Sam was surprised "so you were able to hold him off for a bit?" Dom smirked as his ego was inflating "yeah but that's expected from someone like me." Dom then showed Sam a glimpse of his shining sword "and thanks to this baby it was all possible." he kept boasting until he reached the bar with Sam.
Sam looks around and he saw Emerald sitting down at the bar, drink in his hand and he held Kevin's sword at his side instead of his usual dual blades, as Sam gets a good look at him he noticed that Emerald was wearing a red shirt with a black coat over it, his face had a scar on his left eye which was covered by an eyepatch, missing two fingers on his left hand, his hair was down to his shoulders and a stern look "oh hey Sam, please take a seat." Emerald said with Dom walking beside Emerald like a bodyguard "excuse me could you get this man a drink please?" "diet coke please." Sam muttered as he sat down "well you called me for a good reason I assume?" he asked as Emerald took a sip from his drink "I did, since you and your friends are the only ones who really care about the zodiac's, since the highest powers aren't doing anything and every other organisation working with the government isn't doing anything." Emerald then nudged Dom with his elbow, Dom handing him a wad of cash "so I think instead of getting paid a grand by the government heres half a million." Emerald smiles as he hands over the cash until he had a strange feeling in his gut as he saw someone walk in, that person being Dylan who wore a grey tie, sunglasses, blue vest with a navy blue blazer over his shoulders and smile on his face "hey bar keep could I please get a pina colada." he asked and so the bartender began to make his drink "I guess you like getting caught in the rain." Emerald jokingly referenced which made Dylan chuckle "ah good one." the two kept laughing until Dylan reached into his vest and pulled out a pistol, aiming right at Emeralds forehead however Emerald was not phased at all, he stared Dylan directly in the eye which freaked him out "what's wrong, too scared to speak?" he asked but Emerald grabs the barrel of the pistol "shoot me, but if you do my friend here will slice you to bits." he warned him but Dylan didn't listen until he groped the trigger with his index finger, Sam didn't intervene and nor did Dom, they just watched as Emerald kept staring down Dylan "I don't care what he does!!" Dylan pressed the end of the pistol against Emeralds head "one pina colada." the bartender places down the drink which Dylan picks up and takes a sip "take the shot." Emerald said but then the pistol was sliced into two pieces "ha... well as expected but guns aren't really my style." Dylan then spins around and slams his leg into Sam's head "now come on scar face." Emerald quickly stands up and draws his sword, swinging the sword but Dylan dodged it with ease, Dylan then then puts up his hands and starts swinging, hitting Emerald in the face and knocking the sword out of his hands and grabbing it mid-air "oh fancy sword you've got here, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before." Dylan mocked to enrage Emerald "you know what it is.... Mr Swanson owned that sword and that bastard killed him!!" a tear poured from Emeralds eye "oh that guy, yeah I kinds forgot about him sorry." Dylan then grabs the sword with both his hands and swings it downwards towards Emeralds head "guess you'll go and meet him real soon!!" *CLIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNG!!!!!!* Dom clashes with Dylan.
"stop, you're causing a ruckus!" Dylan lifted his sword and swings it towards Dom's neck but he does not break the sword that Dylan held, as he knew if he broke it that would hurt Emerald more than anything and instead he ducked under and stabs Dylan in the abdomen which caused him to drop the sword and clench his wound, Dom grabs the fallen sword and hands it to Emerald "oh you think that since you hit me you're a bit shot!?" Dylan teleported behind Dom and got ready to kick him to the floor however Dom avoided the attack yet again, sheathing his sword and turning around to face Dylan, who only saw a look of rage on Dom's face, he pulls his sword from its scabbard with a giant slash on his chest that cut clean through his vest and left a gaping wound on his chest, which left him on the floor, his pina colada spilt on him.
Dylan rests on the floor clutching his chest as he tries to use his powers but it just took too much strength "congratulations *cough!!* you've killed one of the zodiac's but Dorek will make you pay for this!!" Dylan said as blood continues to pour out blood "Dominic, fetch me a pistol." Emerald ordered and so Dom followed his orders, walking out of the bar and into the staff room. "So Emerald how do you feel now?" the weak Dylan asked him but Emerald didn't answer him until Dom walked back to him with a pistol, he hands it to him and Emerald aims it at Dylan "proud." *BAM!!* Emerald shot Dylan in the forehead, blood trickling down from the bullet wound that was at the centre of his forehead "that's how I feel..." Emerald stated as he looked at the corpse of Dylan.
