Abnormal Mission Request

I could feel the rain make contact with my body and I was quickly drenched buy it as I vwalked down the street and made my way into The Black Pedal that was right in front of him.

The Black Pedal was a club that was frequently visited by the bounty hunters and assassins of the vampire race.

I was going in to see if someone had requested me for my services. I made my living as a bounty hunter, and I went all over this war-torn galaxy either hunting down people to prove a point, or to be capture them, and most of the time to kill these people.

As I made it into the club I was quickly greeted by a mug thrown at my head, and I ducked to my left and it shattered behind me.

"Come on Marcus you're going to have to improve your aim if you're going to try to catch me by surprise anytime soon".

As I looked around I noticed that there were plenty of people here in the bar section of the club either getting drinks or ordering the house special.

The building had three floors each with a different purpose of architecture. The first floor contained a bar that was set up against the left wall, and there were tables in the middle area of the main level.

The second floor was for gambling and games.

The top floor contained the management offices as well as the private offices of a handful of bounty hunters and assassins that explicitly took special request missions from this building.

I saw Marcus behind the bar he was a turned vampire; completely bald and quite short in height. He wore a muscle cut red t-shirt; and he wore a pair of heavy duty jeans.

"Yes and before you ask me Nathan someone has requested your services". Marcus said to me as I walked by the bar and I saw him cleaning out a wine glass.

"Can you tell me anything about this client?" I asked him when I made it to the bar since I needed to know more about the client before I accepted their request for my services.

"I would say that he was an elderly gentleman and he definitely worked for one of the higher true blooded vampire households".

"Well thank you very much for the information I will be requesting a fresh bottle of wine to be sent up to my room since I successfully completed my last mission.

You should have seen the face of the bulky male human as I told him what it was that I was there for and that he was the target of my mission. I know that you won't believe this but he literally shit himself".

"All right Nathan I will send you a bottle of Asdurian '47".

I've been knotted at him so that he knew that I approved of what he said and went into the elevator that was in the back area of the building.

As soon as I entered the elevator I used my ring that was on my right ring finger and placed it in a ring lock that was on the right wall.

After I put my ring in one of the Ring holes the elevator started to instantly move up and it stopped and opened up a few moments later in front of the back door of my office.

The inside of my office was very simply designed with only a rocking chair and the desk a few inches in front of my back door. Against my left wall I had a set of pictures of some of my former family members in order to make my clients feel safer in case they were going to physically visit me to tell me about the job.

On the opposing side of my table I saw a male vampire that was clearly a turned vampire standing they're looking at me.

This mail had short and thin red hair and I noticed that his eyes were a light blue color. Other than that he did match the description that I was given.

"So I was told that you are requesting my services". I said as I set in my chair and looked at him.

"Yes sir this job is going to be an important task that multiple people are in a race to achieve.

Now I hear that you are one of the best bounty hunters on this side of the galaxy. If that is true The house of Zenwae will pay you whatever you require to be the first to find this artifact and bring it back to us on Dorius-9". He said to me as he gave me a hollow projection cube by placing it on the table that was in between me and my possible client.

"So who else is looking for this artifact?"

"There are a variety of different parties but only our house when it comes to our species. You know that The House of Zenwae serves our society as our historians.

Since archaeological digs fall under that category it is their responsibility to undergo this mission.

Despite this fact though there are a few human and cyborg parties that you might encounter on this mission.

Also you do not need to forget about The Fifth Column. Even though reports tell us that their leader had been killed by a human known as Danny a few months ago; we have been given reports that they most likely have found new leadership and due to that I highly suspect that they might possibly send a party too".

"I understand the risks now. Due to all of these third parties that will be involved in this Mission I will have to raise my rate".

"That is no problem. Is there anything else that I can help you acquire to assist you in your mission?"

"I will need some Paradisus this time since I will be most likely fighting against multiple parties. The second thing that I will need is high quality blasters for this mission since I will be versing multiple races when I am fighting instead of a single target".

"We can definitely accommodate those requests without any trouble. My master has given me full authority on this Mission since it has been marked as top priority".

"All right then I will be leaving in a few hours for the planet that this artifact is located on. You have until I leave to give me the items that I requested. You can find my ship in the fifth level of the spaceport in this town".

"Okay Mr Nathan I will inform my master that you have accepted his job offer; as well as tell him the conditions that you have given me".

"It is a pleasure to do business with your master". I said as I turned around and looked away from him.

When he left me alone in the room I saw that there was a bottle of that special liquor that Marcus said that he would send to my room.

I drank a cup worth of liquor from the bottle while I looked over the data that was available to me about this artifact that I was supposed to retrieve for my next mission.

As I examined the data that was available to me I noticed that this artifact was located in ruins for The Ozdronian Dynasty.

That must be why there are people of each race going after it. Since The Ozdronian Dynasty no longer exists as an active power each race is now fighting over the items that they could find in their ruins.

I knew that I would have to unfortunately use my secondary vision when I make it to these ruins. The thought of that sent chills down my spine because every time I used it it reminded me of the family that I no longer have.

When I finished my glass of alcohol I put the bottle in my mini fridge that was inside my desk.

Then I got out of my chair and left my office so that I could head to the spaceport and begin my mission since it had been a quick three hours.

As I made it to the spaceport and in front of my starship I could tell that this mission was not going to go according to plan and also that it might possibly have more impact on my future than I thought it would.
