Chapter 1: Origin
In Tampa Bay Florida was a small beach house made from painted white and blue wood. The house had a small balcony that had a small table with a couple of chairs. The balcony is currently occupied by a tall African American man, 6 ft. tall and made entirely of muscle, buzz cut black hair and with a hard face. His entire body was covered in scars from bullets, knives, blunt objects, and signs of torture. His face is also scarred with one scar going down his left eye and one going across his cheek, he was watching the sky looking at the coming dawn. The man's name is Malik Ellis Walken former street thug, thief, hitman, convict, US Army Ranger, Delta Force soldier, and Government Assassin. Malik grew up on the tough streets of New York City to a single mom named Terisa Ellis who worked as a teacher. He spent most of his child hood running around the streets and roof tops of Hell's Kitchen be it from pranking people passing by or pick pocketing civilians and other criminals. He eventually ran into his first friend Rebecca Lee affectionately called Revy, there first meeting was rough at first but eventually became partners in crime. Malik's life turned down hill when he found out his mother was killed by a future gangster as an initiation, he became vengeful and tracked down the gang infiltrated them and killed them all but not before torturing them until they revealed who the leader was and the one who killed his mother. After systematically hunting down his mother's killers he became more violent killing criminals and corrupted police officers then stealing from them, even his friend Revy was surprised by how violent he became she then became the only person he confided in and the only person that would calm him down from his murderous rage. He eventually ran into someone who would eventually change his life, when he was trying to pick pocket another person the person he attempted to pickpocket was Bear Walken a legendary hitman. Bear impressed with the kid's skill and bravery that instead of killing him he trained him as a hitman, Malik was trained to be a master marksman and hand to hand combatant he was also trained in Kenjutsu. Malik became a very skilled hitman known for killing his contract without leaving any evidence and making his kills look like accidents. Bear eventually revealed the reason he was there was because he was looking for his lover Terisa Ellis. Shocked Malik eventually revealed that Terisa was killed in a gang initiation, in surprise Bear broke down crying at the loss of his love. Malik eventually revealed that he was Terisa's son Bear was shocked that his last night with Terisa brought about a son, Malik in anger attacked Bear and started to question where he was when they needed him. Bear revealed that he left was because in his line of work he made a lot of enemies and to protect her he left to kill his enemies and eventually return. Malik forgave him and they reconciled. Bear eventually died of old age and gave his son a gold and silver wedding ring that he was going to give to his mother and a silver chain that it was attached to. He wore it under his shirt ever since. Malik eventually became a high in demand hitman with a reputation exceeding his fathers among the different crime families of New York and was wanted by the police and other forms of law enforcement. He still hung out with Revy and their friendship grew, he found out her father would physically abuse her, eventually paying him a visit, and beating him with a baseball bat and shooting him in both his knee caps, but before he could kill him Revy said she would do it and then killed him. Revy wanted to be left alone and left her to her own devices. A day later he found out Revy was in jail for the murder of her father, when he went to see her he found out that her interrogator raped her. In a fit of rage Malik left and hunted and tortured the information out of the officer and hung him outside of the precinct but not before attaching C4 to the precinct and blowing it up to free Revy. After gunning down all the corrupt officers and letting the innocent officers leave he freed Revy and gave her enough money to leave the city start new. Malik tried to leave the city as well but was eventually arrested and sentence to life in prison, he was put in Rikers Island where both inmates and guards feared him because of not only his deeds outside of the prison but also because of how many prisoners and guards he injured and killed so they put him in solitary confinement. While in prison he educated hisself in history, mathematics, escapology, philosophy, martial arts, and meditation. The military learned about his location and impressed with his skills and after much convincing he was recruited into the US Army Rangers under the codename Maverick because of his habit of going against command of his superior officer. He became known as an expert sniper and master of stealth, he was then transferred to Delta Force. Malik eventually was taken out of Delta Force by the CIA and put into a special division known as the U.S. Security Group or A-6 to eliminate different threats both domestic and foreign basically a government assassin. He went on many missions and was known for doing the impossible and completing what most call suicide missions the type of missions that if he was caught the US will deny all knowledge of him. He eventually grew tired of his violent life, the blood that he saturated the earth with coming to mind over the years he lived, he decided he was tired of the life he was living and faked his death and went into hiding.
As Malik was looking back on his life and how far he has come he felt a pair of feminine hands wrapped around his chest and felt a pair of lips on his back. He turned around and wrapped his arms around the figure and looked at the woman. She had long silk like black hair and creamy skin. Her eyes were a chocolate brown and her body partially hidden by her night gown showing her hourglass figure wide hips and petite breast pressing into his chest, a gold and silver wedding band on her finger. The woman was Kagome Yashida Walken daughter of the head of the Yashida crime family, how Malik met her was during his time as an assassin for the government his assignment was to kill Kagome's father Shingen Yashida. To do that he had to tail and get information on Shingen and his organization, while gathering intel on his target he met Kagome being harassed by the son of the head of the Washimine group Takeda Washimine. Takeda was constantly trying to grope her and get her to go out with him until Malik came up and just stared at him, the look in his eyes screamed one word death. Takeda ran off but not until vowing Kagome will be his, after making sure she was all right Malik was about to continue his mission until she stopped him and offered him dinner at her home. Thinking that this will help his mission he accepted, that day he met Shingen he was an old man but still looked like he engaged in routine exercise and just by looking at him a very skilled combatant. Despite being a crime boss he showed a great amount of affection for Kagome and was surprised at Malik's presence since she never brought home a man before. Shingen greeted his daughter then asked who Malik was, Malik gave his full name which surprised Shingen he asked if his father was Bear Walken, Malik nodded in confirmation and Shingen revealed that they were trained by the same man in Kenjutsu and became rivals and friends. Malik was welcome with open arms to the Yashida clan home, during that time Malik and Kagome became closer going on simple outings and eventually dinner dates. Shingen already noticing how close his daughter was getting to Malik didn't stop her. One day the Washimine group came to the Yashida clan compound wanting to arrange a marriage between Takeda and Kagome to strengthen ties and eventually make a joint group, Takeda agreed to the plan so he could get the only woman who spurned his advances and make her his in any way possible. Kagome was against the idea because over the last few weeks she fell in love with Malik and he felt the same way, Kagome said her heart belonged to Malik, Shingen was originally going to say no since he didn't like Takeda and his womanizing ways, he also knew that the young man would make his daughters life miserable so he was happy that his daughter found someone to love just like he did when he met Kagome's mother. Takeda saying that a Gaijin has no business being involved in this matter and that she will forget all about him when they are married. Malik already not liking the upstart almost drew his gun hidden in his sleeve, but Takeda announced that he would fight Malik in a one on one duel to determine Kagome's fate, Malik responded by saying Kagome isn't a prize like in a game but a human being with a beautiful mind but he accepted just to keep her happy. The battle was quick since Takeda spent most of his time partying and chasing skirts instead of keeping his skills sharp and with an equal amount of arrogance, he was quickly defeated by Malik but Takeda being the sore loser he is tried to stab Malik in the back. Kagome tried to warn Malik but Takeda managed to slash Malik's back. Shingen tossed his sword to Malik and before Takeda could come at him again Malik sidestepped and slashed Takeda's Achilles Tendon causing him to lose his balance and fall to the floor screaming in pain. Shingen told the Washimine representative to leave and never return. As Kagome was helping Malik with his wound he returned the sword given to him by Shingen, Kagome took him to the infirmary to get it looked at. When he was sewed and bandaged he told Kagome to get her father because he had a few things to tell them. Malik revealed to Shingen that he was an assassin working for the US and he was sent to kill him by his superiors and that he would understand if Shingen was going to kill him, but Kagome stood in front of Malik and said that if Shingen killed Malik he would have to kill her to. Shingen surprised both by revealing he already knew and that he was simply waiting for whether Malik would fulfill his mission or not. Malik said that after being among them for so long he could never think of killing him and hurting Kagome in such a way. Kagome happy that Malik will live kissed him in front of her father, Shingen told Malik he better take care of his little girl. A couple of months later Malik asked Shingen if he could marry Kagome and with Shingens blessing they were married. On their honeymoon Malik gave Kagome a red Shamisen that she saw in the market and Kagome gave him a katana that was commissioned by her father and the design made by her on that night they consummated their marriage. A couple of months went by and Kagome announced to her father and Malik that she was pregnant, Malik swept her up in his arms and spun her around in the air happy that she was pregnant and Shingen being more reserved hugged his daughter congratulating her and Malik on their child. Nine months passed and Kagome gave birth to a little girl that she named Mariko Shingen noticed that she looked exactly like Kagome when she was first born, Mariko had soft black curls on her head and a more caramel skin tone darker than her mother but lighter than her father. Disaster soon struck the happy couple when Takeda returned now the boss of the Washimine group and demanded that Kagome renounce her marriage to Malik and marry him, again he was denied Shingen told him to leave but before leaving Takeda demanded that Kagome marry him or there will be war between the Washimine and Yashida clans. Shingen announced to his clan they were now at war with the Washimine group, while preparations were being made for the upcoming conflict he arranged for Kagome, Malik and Kagome to leave Japan until things quiet down and the war was over. Around that time Malik faked his death so his government won't find him and he can live peacefully with his wife and daughter.
While Malik was reminiscing about his life and meeting Kagome she decided to ask what he was thinking. He looked at her with a loving smile and replied.
"Just thinking about all the things that I have done and meeting you, thinking how I don't deserve this type of peace with how many lives I have taken over the years." Malik said with a sad smile on his face, he felt his wife put her hand on his cheek bringing his face down to hers and kissing him with all the passion she had and putting his mind at ease.
"Cast aside these dark thoughts watashi no ai, you may have sent a lot of people to the afterlife but that is not you anymore. You made a great life here and you will continue to do so for me, you, Kagome and" she took his hand and brought it to her stomach Malik's eyes widened in surprise with tears coming to his eyes. our future child." Kagome finished with a soft smile, Malik smiled and kissed her with a lot of passion eventually licking her lips asking for entrance which she gave there tongues moving in tandem with one another, there moment was ruined by a quiet giggle coming from behind followed by a voice saying "eww" Kagome and Malik looked behind them to see there daughter Mariko behind one of the curtains at the balcony entrance.
"No what are you doing up Mari?" Malik asked his giggling daughter, she just reached her hands up to her father asking to be picked up. Malik chuckled and picked her up swinging her around which caused her to giggle.
"I heard papa and mama talking, is it true will I have a little brother or sister to play with." Mariko asked eyes full innocence and excitement. Kagome nodded and stood beside her husband. "Yes Musume in nine months we will have another addition to our little family" Kagome said with a smile as she caressed her stomach. As the family of three watched the sunrise on a new day Malik thought nothing could ruin the perfect moment with his family.
"It wasn't your fault you know?" Kagome said completely unexpectedly, Malik blinked and looked at her.
"What wasn't my fault?" Malik asked in a confused tone, Kagome looked up at him with a sad but loving smile.
"Me and Mariko dying." Kagome said, the scene then changed showing the small boat house burning. Malik looked around in confusion until he looked down and saw Kagome and Mariko in his arms with bullet holes through there chest.
NO KAGOME MARIKO NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Malik snapped his eyes open drenched in sweat and breathing hard. It seemed to happen every night him dreaming about that night when Mariko and Kagome were killed. He went to the bathroom in his apartment and washed water on his face to wake hisself up and cool down. He looked in the mirror noticing that he hasn't changed over the years except he now had a mustache, beard and he grew his hair a little, after he washed up with a shower he put on his clothes to get ready for the day he took out some black cargo combat pants, a black button up shirts twin gun holster and steel toe boots. Once he got dressed he went to the table top that held his weapons, first he picked up a pair of M1911A1s the pistols were his personal favorite he built and customized the guns hisself, he bored the chambers, customized the triggers, and added some thread on compensators. He also added some Novak night sights, extended the barrel wells, combat hammers and combat triggers, extended the slide releases as well as added beavertail grip safeties and front cocking serrations. After examining the guns, he holstered them then picked up another gun, this one is a modified Smith and Wesson model 500 he added a Knights Armament RIS setup, a tactical flashlight, laser sight and a black suppressor. He holstered the gun in a tactical thigh holster. The last gun he picked up is another customized pistol a Glock 17 fitted with a compensator, a flared magwell and a red dot sight. He holstered it in a backup holster on his belt on the back of his waist, he then reverently picked up a katana a gift from his wife on there wedding night one of three things he recovered that night, after putting his ammunition in pockets in his cargo pants and putting magnum bullets in loops on his belt Malik put on a leather jacket (which is bullet proof) and carrying his sword in his hand he got ready to start his day. He looked around the hellhole that is Roanapur a city in Thailand that was started by soldiers that deserted the Vietnam War, it was a dying port town before all the criminal's, wannabe's and organized decided to make it there home. The criminal center of the world perfect place for someone like him to live in no one was after him, he just pissed off to many people in the states and wasn't welcome back. He walked to his car which was a black 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, as he was getting in the car and about to pull out someone knocked on the window of his car. He looked and sighed in annoyance and recognition, another one of Mr. Chin's lapdogs, Chin is a minor crime boss in Roanapur constantly running around thinking he is at the top of the food chain and is the top boss when he only feeds on scraps from the top bosses table and that he just a pawn in the grand scheme of things. Malik looked at the thug with an expression that said speak quickly or die.
"Mr. Chin wants to talk with you Mogwai." The thug said in a scared tone, like everywhere he went be it on the streets of New York, Rikers island or the battlefield he developed a reputation of doing the impossible and his name is said with fear so he was given names from the different organized crime lords of Roanapur, among the triads he is known as Mogwai meaning monster, evil spirit, devil or demon, the reason this name was given was because he could appear and disappear almost supernatural like and also the look of absolute horror that is left on his targets face, among the Cartel he is known as La Luz Mala because most of his targets in Argentina were killed in swamps and the lights represent the gunfire of his targets trying to escape. The Russians of Hotel Moscow he is known as Baba Yaga the Russians version of the Boogeyman. How he got that name was when he first did a job for a Hotel Moscow he seemed almost supernatural with the way he walked and the level of anger and hatred that he produced caused even Balalaika to shiver in fear but most call him simply Maverick the call sign he used when he was a soldier.
"Tell Chin that he can go fuck hisself, I have nothing to say to him." Malik said in a tone that dared the messenger to argue with him. In a moment of either bravery or stupidity the messenger drew a gun.
"He isn't asking Mogwai he is demanding that you come meet with him." He said still nervous, Malik looked at him with a small glare, then looked at the gun.
"You know the safety is on right, maybe you will have better luck threatening me if you can actually shoot the gun." Malik said his voice calm and level, the thug looked at the gun which would be his last mistake, Malik then pulled his arm inside the car causing the thug to hit his face and then he screamed in pain because Malik broke his wrist. Now on the ground and in pain Malik calmly got out of the car with his one M1911A1 drawn, he walked to the screaming man and pressed the gun to his eye.
"Now you are going to help me with Chin, do you understand me?" Malik asked in a calm tone, the thug nodded his head quickly.
"Ok, fuck Chin what is it that you want me to do?" the thug asked in a scared tone tears and snot coming from his eyes and nose.
"Just this." Malik said simply and pulled the trigger blowing a hole through his eye and out the back of his head staining the sidewalk in blood and brain matter. Malik sighed in annoyance and picked the man up and put him in the back of his car.
Mr. Chins Hotel
Chin was pacing back and forth wondering where his messenger is and if he found Mogwai yet. Then there was a knock at his door, his men reached for there guns while one answered the door. It was the hotel manager with a package in hand with a look as if he stared death in the face and lived.
"What's in the box, hurry and open it." Chin demanded, as one of his men opened he dropped it with a shout. Inside the box was the thug he sent to bring Malik to him, his body cut to pieces with his head still intact a note in his mouth. Chin reached into the box and took the note, blood splattered on it but still readable it said only four words: Pick Up the Phone.
The phone then ringed and Chin hurried to pick it up. With a trembling had he brought the phone to his ear.
"H-Hello this is Mr. Chin." Chin said with a stutter.
"Mr. Chin, I hope you got my package." Malik said on the other line, Chin with sweat pouring down his face realized who he was talking to.
"Yes Mogwai, may I ask where you are?" Chin asked trying and failing to keep his voice level. He heard a chuckle on the other line that chilled his soul.
"Far enough where you can't see me, but close enough that I can see you and to show you I'm not bluffing." Malik said then paused. Chin heard glass breaking and a bullet went right through the head of one his men dropping him to the ground blood drenching the carpet.
"Now I am going to say this once, no one moves from there spot unless I tell them to, blink once for yes and two for no." Malik said, Chin and all his men blinked once remaining exactly where they were at.
"Now Chin I am going to say this one time, I will never work for you, send someone else after me again and the next bullet will be for you are we clear." Malik said his voice still calm. Chin simply blinked his eyes once for yes to scared to move or breath.
"I'm glad we understand one another and just so you understand that I am serious." Malik said then another bullet came into the room this time going through Chin's shoulder dropping him to the floor and causing him to scream out in pain.
Rooftop
Malik lowered his sniper rifle which is a Mk 14 Mod 1 ERB with a silencer attachment. He made his way across the roof and down the fire escape where his car was parked in an alley way. He pressed a switch on his keys that caused the back seats of his car to fold back revealing a small armory in the back with one slot empty showing that was where his rifle went.
He got into the driver's seat and pulled out of the alley way and took off down the road.
"Just another day in Roanapur." Malik said with a small smirk on his face. As he was driving his phone ringed, recognizing the number he hit his Bluetooth earpiece to receive the call.
"This is Maverick, what do you want?" Malik asked, a feminine voice was heard on the other end.
"I that any way to talk to someone who has a job for you Baba Yaga?" the woman with a Russian accent asked. Malik could tell the person was smiling and wanting the conversation to be over quickly got straight to business.
"I don't have time for your fucking games Balalaika what do you want?" Malik asked in a more serious voice. Normally people that talked to her like that would be tortured then killed with there body left as a message to everyone, but Malik could get away with it because he knew Balalaika and the rest of Hotel Moscow feared him a good portion of them saw what he could on the battle field first hand others have seen his handy work when he was sent to assassinate someone and let's just say they learned quickly. But Balalaika liked how he didn't fear her and she loved the power that he generated, she knew if he became a boss he could probably run all Roanapur on fear alone.
"I have a job for you, something simple for a man of your talents." Balalaika replied, Malik waited for her to continue so he can plan and get started.
"Cut the bullshit and tell me what the job is." Malik asked, while he was driving.
"I need you to guard a company nothing difficult just help them with a delivery by offering a little extra security." Balalaika said her smile still present. Malik narrowed his eyes thinking this is a repeat mission.
"If this is another one of your drug smuggling protection deals then forget, you know what happened last time you gave me a job like that." Malik said in a tone that brokered no argument.
"No, just protect them so they can deliver a disk to me simple as that." Balalaika said, Malik thought about doing it or not.
"Fine I will do it the usual fee 10,000 now and another 10,000 once the mission is done and I will guarantee they survive." Malik said, Balalaika agreed to the price saying the cash will be ready for him to pick up and told him to go to the Yellow Flag bar and ask for Bao he will have his money and to simply wait there.
Malik then hung up the phone and made his way to the Yellow Flag.
"I said it once I will say it again just another day in Roanapur." Malik said as he made his way to the bar not knowing this job will be anything but simple.
