The following is a spin on the Witchblade Anime and the Darkness games. While not a sequel to either series they are the versions we'll be using in this chronicler.
The streets of New York. It is here, at night, that you might meet our young friend, Jackie Estacado. A typical everyday twenty-one year old male New Yorker. His likes are women, money, fancy cars and killing and maiming. Oh, did I mention he's a hit man for the mob. Well that's inaccurate of me to say actually, he's a Hitman turned Mob Boss.
You see after a rival crime family hit his homestead, Jackie's boss, his uncle, was... To put it mildly, whacked. So after wasting the punks who preformed and put the hit out on him and his boys, Jackie took over. You're probably wondering how one lone man managed to accomplish all of this. Don't lie, I know you are. To be completely honest folks-
Jackie turns his head while standing under a street lamp as he hears some screaming. He peers down an alley to see a woman being robbed, fighting a couple of thieves over her purse in a tug-o-war.
Oh, you're in luck. We'll just show you.
"Yo homies!" Jackie says, catching the attention of the thugs. Both men release the purse and approach Jackie, allowing for the lady to run.
"You lost bro?" One of the muggers asks.
"Nah, I just got something eating away at me." Jackie says as he steps out of the light and into the dark. A mist of shadows begins to rise up behind him and two serpents slither out of it and over his shoulders. "But now it'll be eating you."
Both of the muggers eyes widen as they see the monsters lunging towards them.
Later, Jackie arrives at his home. He is greeted by one of his friends and employees, Vinnie.
"Hey Jackie, where've ya been all night?" Vinnie asks.
"Just had to get a bite to eat. What'd I miss?"
"Not much. Dolfo is just taking pot shots at the pigeons again. Think we'll be getting some noise complaints if he keeps it up."
"Eh, let the man have his fun. Not like he's hurting anyone. Well, not anyone of importance at least."
"You're the boss."
"Speaking a which, think I'll be in my office. Let the boys know not to disturb me unless it's important."
"Got it boss."
Vinnie walks away as Jackie closes the door to his quarters. He then turns out most of the lights.
"You've been anxious tonight. What you've gotta say?" Jackie asks.
"Jackieeeee... She grows in power...!" A scratchy but echoing voice answers.
"She? She who? The Angelus?"
"No! Something much worse. Go to Japan. Stop her before she can grow any more!"
"Japan?! Who is this dame?"
"The one who wields my creation!"
Meanwhile, in Japan where the sun hangs over the sky, a brunette haired lady, possibly in her late twenties early thirties, walks the street market with a little black haired girl by her side.
"What do you feel like having for lunch today, Rihoko?" The lady asks.
"Anything's fine with me mom." The little girl answers.
And so now our boy must find the girl, but will the two find salvation or damnation? Only time shall tell.
