Chapter 1:
The Truth
Sirclois is now going by the name "Jack Ferlow". Among the many
clans and bounty hunters, he is known as "The White Reaper". He has been on the
trail of who he has come to find out was the person who massacred his clan. His
name is "Dirk Bezna", who is known as "Soul Eater".
Now back to the matter at hand, Sirclois had been following leads and had
recently heard at a nearby city that one of Dirk's thugs would be at an
abandoned battle arena. He was going along with five bounty hunters and they
were going to ambush someone because of the bounty he was supposed to be worth.
Sirclois was now there and had entered through an outer door that took him to
the inner halls below the seats. He walked along until he came to a giant pit.
He was thinking of a way to jump across when a bullet hit the ground next to
him. He pulled out his Military Sword and turned around in time to deflect the
rest. He then ran along the wall, dashed behind a crate and peeked out to see
that it was just a bounty hunter carrying a Renard. Sirclois jumped out and
quickly slashed him. The man fell down dead.
"Damn, looks like I might be a little late... Or some other bounty hunters
heard. Either way, I better hurry", Sirclois said to himself as he ran, jumped
and then ran along the wall on the side of the pit. He finally found his way
into the battle part of the arena. There, he found four bounty hunters laying
dead around the field and there were two people peeking out from behind their
cover, occasionally firing at each other. Finally, one hit the other in the
shoulder and the man was too wounded to fight any longer. Sirclois didn't have
much time to think because the other man was walking over to finish off whoever
was sitting there wounded. Sirclois ran and blocked the man.
"What's going on here? Who are you? State your name, now!", Sirclois yelled.
The man quickly ran and jumped behind some boxes for cover.
"Oh, you must be the Leader's long lost link. Well I am one of his faithful
servants. I am known as Demon. For skills as good as mine, I signed a pact with
Hell and became a Demon in order to have them. Now enough chit-chat, prepare to
die!", Demon yelled. Once he had finished yelling, Sirclois heard a small click,
like someone had pulled a Canox SG1 clip out. In a few moments, a Canox SG1
landed next to Sirclois and the other man who was wounded.
"Oh...", Sirclois didn't finish, he grabbed the man and ran for cover behind
some boxes. The Canox SG1 exploded and Demon laughed. Sirclois put his Military
Sword away and pulled his two Raven 7's out. Sirclois peeked out, Demon had
moved behind a pole, closer than he was when he was behind the boxes, and was
getting another Canox SG1 out. Sirclois knew that he couldn't run from the Canox
SG1s forever. He jumped up and fired as he rolled behind a small wall that
partially surrounded the central structure, closer to the pole where Demon was.
He put his two Raven 7's away and pulled his Military Sword back out.
"Ha! You must be at least a tiny bit skilled to have heard that these are
special Canox SG1 grenades with the most silent clips, but even with that skill,
you will DIE!", Demon yelled as he threw another Canox SG1 at Sirclois. He
jumped for some more boxes to keep his cover while still avoiding the Canox
SG1s.
"Damn you and your grenades... Don't you ever fight face to face you
coward!?", Sirclois yelled. Behind the cover of the boxes, he waited to hear
Demon yell back or throw a grenade. Instead, Demon jumped out in front of
Sirclois with two Renards pointed right at Sirclois' face.
"Oh...", again Sirclois didn't finish. He quickly brought his sword up and
blocked the bullets except for a few that
nicked his face. Sirclois jumped up and slashed Demon, then jumped for cover
again on the other side of the same boxes. Demon yelled in pain as he jumped
back for cover behind another pole, then threw three grenades one after the
other as Sirclois dodged each one.
"This has gone on long enough Sirclois, now you die for sure!", Demon yelled
again. He ran at where Sirclois was hiding. Sirclois popped out and fired off a
clip in each of his guns into Demon, but he didn't flinch. Sirclois quickly
holstered his gun, got out his sword and blocked what he could. He ran at Demon,
blocking what he could. They ran past each other but as Sirclois ran by, he
slashed Demon. Demon fell to the ground. Sirclois walked up to him to try and
get what information about where Demon's leader was.
"Where's your leader, Demon?", Sirclois said.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't make it to him alive.", Demon responded
with a laugh.
"Where is your leader, Demon!?" Sirclois repeated, but in a yell.
"Well, if you must know... He is going to send Darkness, another loyal thug
of his, to ambush two people with bounty on their heads. He might know where our
leader is, not that you would even survive long enough to ask him. He is being
sent to a beach over by the Cave of Death. Go there if you wish to die a painful
death.", Demon said, then closed his eyes and didn't even move.
Sirclois walked over to the other man and shook him to wake him up. The man
opened his eyes and looked at Sirclois. Startled not by Sirclois, but Demon
standing behind him with his Renards about to fire. Sirclois spun around blocked
some but
got shot in his arm. He slashed Demon again, and again Demon fell.
"Now I will make sure you're dead Demon. I will send you back to Hell!",
Sirclois said as he prepared to stab Demon in the heart. Demon rolled out of the
way and ran. He yelled back to Sirclois, "You already know my leader, Sirclois.
He was once your best friend! Demon yelled with a demonic laugh as he ran from
the arena and disappeared.
"Who are you? And what did they want to kill you for?", Sirclois said to the
wounded man as he bandaged his wounds, then the man's. "I'm Billy Buzley. They
wanted to kill me for bounty. Who are you? Did he say your name was Si-", the
man tried to ask, but Sirclois cut him off, "My name is Jack Ferlow. I try to
stop as much mindless killing as I can.", Sirclois said.
Once they where bandaged, Sirclois and Billy headed back to the city and
rested up. They then headed to the beach to find Darkness. Sirclois had told
Billy to go somewhere and hide himself until he was out of harm's way, but Billy
refused. He said, "I have to pay you back for saving my life.", Sirclois could
tell he was too stubborn, so he let him come. He figured he might help some.
