Chapter 1

Nothingness, that's all Kaine Parker A.K.A the Scarlet Spider could see nothing else but never ending nothingness and just like his current home he could feel nothing, Not fatigue, not hunger , not even the passage of time and from the feel of it seemed he wouldn't even be able to have the pleasure of going insane to escape the endless boredom, so after giving it some thought he came to the only logical (at least it was in his mind) conclusion

He was in hell.

Not that he was surprised mind you, a tab bit upset but who wouldn't be. After all he had been a stone cool killer and he knew that no matter how many lives he saved he knew that finding redemption would be close to impossible but hey you can't blame a guy for trying right. At the very least he could take comfort in knowing he had struck the inheritors a crippling blow when he killed that bastard Solus and maybe just maybe that had been a big enough impact for his brother and the rest of the spider-men and women to defeat those soul sucking bastards.

So if this was his fate so be it.

'At least I'm not burning in a pit of lava or getting my ass pocked by some demon snail with a pitchfork' Kaine though as he closed his eyes.

"Now that's a rather disturbing image if I do say so myself" said a disembodied voice coming from all directions. The clone began to look around along with using his enhanced hearing but was still unable to locate the speaker.

"Who said that?! Show yourself!"Kaine demanded.

"Since you asked so nicely" said the voice with an amused tone.

At that moment gravity seemed to return to the empty void as Kaine hit the ground releasing a lound 'oomph' that echoed through the realm. When the spider themed hero got back on his feet he continued to look around for the owner of the voice.

"Where are you?!' Kaine shouted in a demanding tone.

"Right here" answered the voice which came from behind Kaine.

The first clone quickly turned around ready to face the owner of the voice. But the second he laid eyes on him Kaine's anger vanished being replaced by shock and confusion. For before Kaine stood a figure he never excepted to meet, with a tall muscular build, dirty blond slicked back hair with a few bangs combed to the right and a pair of heterocromiac eyes with his right eye blue and his left eye brown while wearing a deep blue three piece pinstriped suit.

"David Bowie?"Kaine asked completely god smacked.

"The one and only mate; though if you prefer I also go by Elohim, Yahweh, Jehovah, Adonai and my personal favorite, the one above all"

"….Am I being punked"

"Sorry to disappoint you mate but this isn't a joke" Bowie stated

"So let me get this straight. You're telling me that you're God. Freaking God, like with a capital G?" asked the first clone.

"In a nutshell, yes, I am the being that humanity along with many other species have come to know as God" 'David' answered to which Kaine responded

"…Bullshit"

At that moment the being before gave him a cocky smirk as a golden aura surrounded Bowie shinning as bright as the sun while at the same releasing small amounts of power to emphasis his point. But what was a small showcase of power for the omnipotent being was like being hit by a tsunami to the scarlet hero. Bowie ceased his 'little' demonstration of power all when quiet, but that quickly changed when Kaine slowly began to laugh. At first it was just a low snicker, and then slowly grew into giggling until it turned into a full bellied laugh. This lasted for three whole minutes and while some would find it offensive that someone was laughing right in their face the Supreme Being took it in stride as he knew that this was just Kaine coming to terms with the sudden revelation.

"HAHAhaha! I can't believe Aracely's was right" Kaine said in a low voice remembering the time he and his ward had gone out to eat and out of nowhere the young girl started talking nonsense a rock god or something along those lines after pacing a music store that was playing a David Bowie song.

Once the scarlet hero regained his composure he asked "So what do you want with me? Cause I seriously doubt you're here for a friendly chat"

"*chuckle* Sharp as a whip, that's something I've always liked about you Kaine. May I call Kaine?"

"You're 'God', pretty sure you can do whatever you want" the clone answered emphasizing the word god.

"True enough but it's always polite to ask, now then on to business. You see Kaine as you probably already know you're dead…again" 'God' said as he began to pace back and forth.

"Yeah, waking up in an empty void completely all healed after getting impaled was a pretty big clue. So what? You here to take me to hell" Kaine said with no real emotion.

"Oh quite the opposite, for you see I am here to offer you another chance at life?" David proclaimed gaining yet another surprised look from Kaine but it quickly turned into one of shame and self-loathing as he averted his eyes from the god's.

"…If you really are God then you know the things I've done, the people I've tortured and killed along with the people who've lost their lives because of my incompetence. So out all the people who disserve another chance to live why would you choose me" Kaine asked as the images of all his victims rushed through his mind.

"Your right, I have seen all the horrors you've committed, all the lives you've taken. But at the same time I've seen the good you've accomplished, the people who will live long happy lives thanks to you and the struggles you've endured" David told him as he placed a comforting hand on Kaine's shoulder. "Kaine from the moment you were 'born' the odds were stacked against you, but in the end you prevailed. Instead of continuing to be the heartless killer S.H.E.I.L.D. and many others saw you as, you became a hero and saved countless lives, instead of living in Peter and Ben's shadow you became your own man and while there were a few bumps here and there you always did what you thought was right and contrary to what you may believe you achieved what you yourself thought incapable of, redemption. So stand proud knowing that you are no longer Kaine the murderer, the failed clone, the monster. You are Kaine Parker, Savior of Houston, A New Warrior, The man who slew the father of the Inheritors, The Scarlet Spider and a true hero. That Kaine is who you are and that is why I offer you this chance"

"What's the catch?" the rogue asked for he was no fool. Pretty words aside Kaine knew better than anyone that nothing in life was free, so why would the afterlife be any different.

Instead of feeling insulted at the young man's response Bowie simply laughed "The catch my intuitive friend is that I will not be sending you back to your world. Instead I will send you to a world of a my choosing"

"Why can't you send me back?" Kaine asked.

"Oh do not misunderstand it's not a matter of not being able, but as the as the late madam webs once said; 'Every world needs a spider' and your world is in for a bumpy ride in the not so distant future that will leave it with its fair share of spiders. Plus the particular world I plan to send you too never had one so I figured why not" David said with cheeky smile that greatly annoyed Kaine.

"That's a pretty shitty reason"

"Would you have preferred the 'because I'm god and I bloody want to excuse?" Bowie asked but received no answer, however the annoyed twitch in Kaine's left eye didn't go unnoticed. "That's what I thought"

"*sigh* and if I refuse?" asked the spider themed hero

"Then I pass you on to the afterlife, you've more than earned it. Though between you and me after the first century it starts to get a bit dull" The All Mighty responded with a shrug.

Kaine stood silent for what felt like age as he considered the cons and pros of the opportunity presented before him. On one hand a new start did sound good and contrary to his previous new start being in a new world also meant a clean slate, no being hunted down, no dark past chasing him. On the other hand something at the pit of his stomach told him that he'd probably end up dealing with the same type of crap he had to deal with back when he was alive. After a few minutes of contemplation Kaine decided that the pros out weighted the cons and that if by some unforeseeable stroke of bad luck he was sent to another world with insane amount of weirdness he'd play the hand he was given, and if that was the can\se then he'd play by his own rules and no one else's.

"Alright, I accept" was his simple answer but one that carried more weight than he realized. The all above one simply smiled as he began to laugh joyously.

"Excellent choice my friend, I assure you, you won't regret it. Now before I send you off there are two gifts I wish to bestow upon you" Bowie said as he approached Kaine until he was mere centimeters from the scarlet hero. "The first is a gift. something I'm sure you'll enjoy" 'God' told his as he placed his index and middle fingers on his for head which sent a small shock throughout Kaine's body.

'the hell was that' Kaine though placing a hand on his head as he was suddenly struck by a slight headache train of thought was stopped when he felt the rock star grab hold of both n his arms and saw that he was about to speak " And Finally the second gift are some words of advice. And does words are loosen up, have fun and most importantly try to keep an open mind" Bowie said with a slight suggestive tone at the end.

"Um ok," Kaine responded not really knowing how else to respond, while Bowie simply gave him a look that screamed 'trust me'.

"Think nothing of it mate. Now I think I've held you up long enough. Good luck and remember, open mind" where the last words Kaine heard as suddenly everything went dark.

(New World-Unknown location)

"Argh!" Kaine groaned as he regained consciousness. When he regained his vision Kaine saw through the lenses of his newly repaired mask a star filled sky and a bright full moon. He slowly lifted his body but instantly stopped when a sharp pain ran through his body. He stayed there for approximately ten minutes and when he felt the pain subside and a good portion of his strength return he gave it another go, this time with much more success. Once he got to his feet he began to examine his surroundings while slowly stretching the kinks from his muscles. "a 'A freaking cemetery? *sigh* screw it, I've woken up in worse places, no point to look a gifted horse in the mouth. Guess I should figure out where I am' Kaine thought

'A wise choice my host'

"The fuck!" Kaine exclaimed as he began to look around much like how he did in the void. That's when he realized that unlike in the void 'this' voice did not come from his surroundings but from inside him, it was so familiar but Kaine's mind was still a bit foggy.

'Surely you haven't forgotten me already my host. Not after all we've been through' said the voice. At that moment great pain surged through Kaine's mind as memories of surfaced from the fog that clouded the hero's mind.

"You!" Kaine said through clenched teeth."How the hell are you still inside me?"

'You are me and I am you'

"What the hell is that suppose to mean"

'To put it simply my host you and I are one and the same. For when you accepted me we became one forever bound in body and soul, something even death cannot undo' said the Other

"Well that's just fan-fucking-"

BAN! BAN! BAN! BAN! BAN!

"-tastic" the revived hero said a greatly annoyed Kaine as he heard the all too familiar sound of gunshots being fired off in the distance. At first he considered to just ignore it after all this was a new life he didn't have to be the hero even if that was why he brought back, it wasn't his problem, and it wasn't his-

'With great power comes great responsibility' said a tiny voice in the back of Kaine's mind. A voice that no matter how hard he tried he just couldn't get rid of, the very same voice that made him don the mantle of the Scarlet Spider. He didn't know if it was his conscious or just a remnant of Peter's personality but whatever it was it always compelled Kaine to do the 'right thing' even if he really, really, REALLY didn't want to.

'God damn it' Kaine mentally cursed as me made his way to the origin of the shots.

Thanks to his enhanced speed and agility it took Kaine no more than a minutes to reach his destination, however what he found was not what he expected. Lying against a large tomb stone was a blonde man wearing some kind of skeleton themed costume covered in a large quantity of blood which was probably a side effect of being shot five times in the chest. Kaine kneeled in front of him and placed two fingers on the man's neck, good news was the he was still alive, the bad news was that if he didn't get medical attention soon he'd more than likely die, but Kaine had seen injuries like that before hell he'd caused a few himself and he knew that the skeleton man's chances of survival were slim at best.

But all of a sudden the blonde man awakes and grabbed Kaine's hand in a vice like grip.

"Help…them. Y-you *cough* have to…help the twins*cough* please" the man said in heavy breath as he cough of gulps of blood.

"What? Who are you talking about?" Kaine asks.

"Sally and *cough* Susan. Please…save them" the skeleton man said

"…Alright where are they" Kaine said not being so heartless at to deny a dying man's last wish.

With the last ounce of his strength the blonde man raised his hand and pointed to the far end of the cemetery before his arm went limp. Kaine went to check his pulse in case the man had simply passed out and he'd be able to find him some help. But it was too the man had died from his wounds. Kaine closed the man's eyes and lowered his own head in a show of respect. He might've not know the blonde but if he gave his life to protect someone the least he could do was honor his dying wish.

(Far end of the cemetery)

"Are you sure this is the right place? Maybe you got the directions wrong" said a young man who was sat down on a fallen tombstone shacking and hugging his legs close to his chest as he watched a gruff looking male who was digging up a grave.

"Johnny seriously would you chill out. Seriously how many abandoned cemeteries could there possibly be in these woods" annoyingly responded an older male who stood on the other side of to the dug up grave.

"Pierce, we were kidnapped by freaking pumpkin monster, forced to dig up a grave for some wacked out goth chick and top it we just saw a guy get shot like seven time. How can you expect me to fucking chill out! And how do we even know if this is the right grave, you heard what she said pierce if we get her the wrong body those things are going to do god knows what with up"

"Look you fucking pansy I don't care if this is the right grave or not. You and your friend paid me to dig up A grave and that's all I'm gonna do! Now do me a favor and shut the hell up before I run out of patience and decided to burry you alive" said the largest of the trio as he continued to dig.

KLUNK!

"Hey! I found something" the thug said as he cleared out what little dirt remained with his hand until he uncovered a wooden coffin with a golden plaque that had the picture of a two headed girl. "What kind of freak is buried here?"

"Don't know don't care. Let just get it back to the Goth chick befo-"said the bearded man when he was suddenly hit by a web shot which sent him crashing into a nearby tombstone.

"Put, the coffin, down" said a gruff voice that put the two other grave robbers on edge.

Both men turned around to see yet another costumed individual, though unlike the one Kerstin had dealt with this one gave off a far more intimidating vibe.

"Great another one" the larger thug murmured.

"I swear ill never smash another pumpkin as long as live" Johnny said in a hushed tone.

"I said put the coffin down now!" shouted the masked vigilante causing the smaller thug to take a step back in fear. But it seemed that Kaine's scare tactic wasn't affecting the brawly thug in the least.

"Listen here freak" said the large man as he climbed out of the dug up grave. "Do yourself a favor and walk away or else you're going to end up like the other masked weirdo who tried to play here" he announce lifting his shirt to showing off his 9MM

"Interesting offer, now here's my counter. Put the coffin back, leave "

In response the large thug began to laugh as he looked at his young employer with clear amusement in his face. After the small fit of laughter the man reached for his gun and fired three shot to Kaine's direction. But to the surprise and shock of both men the anti-hero dodged all three shots with relative ease. Kaine landed gracefully on the ground and at that very second he changed towards the big man with inhuman speed and landed a solid right hook to the thug's face which sent him crashing on to a nearby tree.

Kaine then turned his attention to the now quivering Johnny and began to make his way towards the young man, but then.

"RAAAGH!" Kaine heard the war cry of the bearded thug as he rushed towards Kaine shovel in hand. The spider themed hero sidestepped avoiding the pathetic attack, but pierce would not be deterred as he relentlessly attacked the masked hero. This continued for a few minutes with Kaine avoiding each swing with relative ease. Deciding that he had let the bearded thug have enough fun Kaine took hold of the shovel while in mid and with a quick palm strike he broke the shovel in half, taking advantage of pierces' shock Kaine delivered a haymaker to the thug's face as a laud 'crunch' sound rang out as pierce fell to the floor now holding his broken nose.

As Kaine looked down at his fallen foe he felt several 'projectiles' hit him. When he looked down he saw that what had hit him were nothing more than few seeds. Kaine raised his gaze see that his 'attacker' has been none other than the last remaining member of the grave robbers. Now while the attack didn't hurt Kaine it sure as hell served to annoy the already recently resurrected hero. But before he could finish off the last thug, a familiar buzz went off in the back of Kaine's head

"Spider senses?!" Kaine as his spider senses suddenly went off, warning him of like always danger arrived in the form of a long thorny vine that belongs to a large flaming pumpkin monster, which was currently rising from the ground along with six other pumpkin monsters.

Now most people would have been terrified at seeing the daemonic flaming pumpkins, but Kaine was not most people.

"Are you kidding me?!"Kaine shouted out loud with clear annoyance in his voice. He stood there rubbing his forehead as the flaming Halloween pumpkins began to swarm around him. One of the pumpkins charged straight for Kaine.

"I really, don't need this right now." Kaine growled jumping over the creature and shooting out a web line from his wrist that attached itself to the back of the creature's head. Once on the ground he pulled hard to the left and the pumpkin creature was sent crashing straight into a mausoleum bursting open on impact.

"One down, six to go." Kaine told himself

"Oh my God!" Johnny yelled catching Kaine's attention as a crunching sound reached his ears. When he turned around Kaine saw that the source of the sound was one of the pumpkin creatures sinking its jagged teeth into the head of the large thug he had knocked out.

Kaine watched in horror as one of pumpkin creatures munched on the man's head. Kaine watched on for what felt like hours. At that moment his spider sense flared when a thorny vine made its way towards him. The Scarlet Spider shot himself into the air, landing in front of his attacker and proceeded to punch it as hard as he could. The end result was the creature exploding into hundreds of pieces.

The other five pumpkin monsters seeing how their kin were so easily killed moved to surround the spider themed hero. They attacked by sending out their roots along with poison filled spikes, but they were all too slow for Kaine who thanks to new regained spider sense along with his multiple years of combat experience was able to dodge them with complete ease.

As Kaine dodged a vine by jumping high into the air he shot out two web-lines that landed on two different pumpkin monsters; he then landed on the roof of a nearby mausoleum and pulled both monsters towards himself. The Scarlet Spider launched himself at the creatures; he extended both his arms unsheathing both his stingers and once they were in raged Kaine sliced them in half while landing gracefully on the ground.

The surviving pumpkin monsters realizing now how serious a threat Kaine was as they began etching away from him. The spider themed hero saw that they were planning on making a break for it and so charged at them. But stopped halfway when he saw two of the pumpkin monsters suddenly sliced in half.

"Wow." Kaine muttered when he saw the person responsible for the creature's demise

It was a young woman, probably in her early twenties; she had fair creamy skin, long red hair that reached the middle of her back and beautiful green eyes. Her attire consisted of a black and gold masquerade mask with two long horns on top of her head, black elbow length gloves, with golden decorative designs on it. A pair of black knee-high heel boots, with silver spikes on the side. A black and gold armored like G-string and what looked to be a black and gold armored bra. And to finish of the rather flamboyant outfit was a black cape with a purple interior along with a broadsword with a golden cross-guard.

The Scarlet Spider stood there frozen as he watched the women through his red lenses. She kind of reminded him of Mary Jane Watson, but taller and with way larger assets that were rather hard not to notice. Before she engaged the surviving pumpkin creatures in combat, she caught Kaine's gaze and he could've sworn that for a brief moment she sent him a look of recognition.

Kaine watched as she dodged and slashed the pumpkin monsters tentacle. She was obviously a very skilled fighter, but Kaine could tell she wasn't very experienced. The multiple openings she passed up clearly showed that. Plus there were moments where she was obviously showing off.

She lunged forward to slice the pumpkin monster, never noticing the large vine that emerged behind her. The monster, seeing his chance wraps his tentacles around her neck and began to thrash her around causing her to dropped her sword as she continuously hit the ground.

Her cry of pain prompts Kaine to action. Launching himself forward at speeds inhumanly possible in an attempt to save her. But the creature had noticed him as he brought the redheaded warrior in front of him using her as a human shield while its vine wrapped tightened itself around her neck, which automatically made the scarlet hero stop in his tracks.

Kaine growled in frustration, he had to be smart about what his next move would be. If h made the slightest mistake and he knew the monster would snap her neck. On the other hand, if he didn't move fast enough, she would die from strangulation. After a few tense seconds an idea came to him, it was risky but right now it was do or die.

For a few tense second both Kaine and the creature stared each other down. But then to both the creature and its captive's surprise Kaine vanished in the blink of an eye. The monsters shock only lasted for a few seconds before he attempts to snap the woman's neck. However those few seconds were all Kaine needed as the monster suddenly screeched in pain. The creature had loosen its grip around the red headed woman's neck enough for her to turn her head and see the Scarlet Spider with multiple stingers on his forearms as he continuously impaled the abomination's head. Releasing its hold on the masked woman In an attempt to throw off the spider hero the monster began to thrash around and while It managed to get in a few hits in but Kaine would not concede. The Scarlet Spider retracted his stingers and leaped high into the air while shooting two web lines at a pair of nearby head stones.

"!" Kaine Shouted launching himself towards the creature at bullet speed, the result was the creature's demise as it exploded into a million pieces

"By the goddess!" the red head screamed out in amazement. She had seen a lot of wonderful and strange things throughout her twenty-two years of life but she had never seen anything like the one sided massacre she had just witnessed.

"Hey" Kaine said making the masked woman almost jumped out of her armor when the unfamiliar voice broke her from her thoughts. When she looked to her side she saw the masked stranger now covered from head to toe in pumpkin guts. "Are you ok?" he asked her offering his hand which he gratefully took.

"Yes. I'm all right. Though I feel that I should be the one to ask you that" she replied, as she stood up off the ground dusting herself off.

"I'm as all right as I can be all things considering" Kaine said as he attempted to brush off the pumpkin guts covering him. "So, don't suppose you happen to know what those Halloween freaks where or where they came from? Would you... um?"

"Tarot, witch of the black rose" She said with a smile as she extended her hand.

'Kaine, but most people know me as the Scarlet Spider." He told her since he was never one for the whole secret identity thing and as strange as it sounded something told him he could trust her. Kaine was broke out of his thoughts when he saw she was still waiting for him to shake her hand so he moved his right arm to do so.

The moment their hands touched a spark was ignited and a wave of something neither of them could describe washed over them. Their minds merged and form a single image. A card that had a naked man with orange skin, blue whirlpool like tattoos on his arms and shoulders, glowing green eyes, a sun medallion on his forehead and long red hair. In his well toned arms the orange skinned man held a naked woman with pale white skin with the same blue whirlpool tattoos as the man on her breasts, shoulders and her posterior, she wore a crescent moon medallion on her forehead, she had glowing blue eyes and silver-ish hair that went down to her lower back. Both the man and woman's lower half were wrapped in vines. Both the lower right and left side of the card had three black roses stacked on top of each other. Finally, there were two words at the bottom of the card that read "The Lovers" and right next to those two words was a single black rose.

While the strange sensation lasted a second was completely painless, as soon as it was over, both Tarot and Kaine quickly pulled their hands apart from each others.

"Whoa!"Kaine exclaimed startled by the strange sudden experience." The hell was that?"

"I-I don't know" Tarot answer with a stutter just as surprised as Kaine." I'm sure it was nothing" she told him though there was a hint of hesitance in her voice

"But-"

"Listen, you asked me earlier if I knew what those creatures were and where they came from. To answer your question they are called pumpkin golems creatures brought to life by necro-magic and they were sent here by my sister. For what purpose, I know not"

"Could it have something to do with the coffin?"

"What coffin?" Tarot questioned.

"Before you got here some guys were digging up that grave over there and talking about getting 'the body' to some freaky goth chick who I'm just going to assuming is your sister. I was able to stop them but before I could get some answers out of them one of them threw a bunch of seed and boom, those golem things popped out of the ground"

"I don't know why Raven would want a corps. But we need to find her and put a stop to her plans as soon as possible"

"Wow there red. There is no we, I'm just here because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time" Kaine exclaimed. He had been through enough weirdness for one night, from meeting God ,coming back from the dead…again, being forced back into the hero shtick and to top it all off fighting a hoard of monster pumpkins, so yeah Kaine's 'new' life didn't exactly start off as he had liked.

"I beg to differ" she told him with all the confidence in the world.

"Really? And why is that" Kaine asked as he began to massage his temples, all this was giving him a headache.

"This may be difficult to believe but I knew you'd be here. Earlier today I had a vision through my tarot cards and they showed me the impending darkness and a dark warrior, someone who could help me find my sister and stop her"

"And you think that's me?"

"I do not think it is you, I know it is. So I ask you will you help me" Tarot told him.

Personally Kaine wanted nothing more than tell her that this was all bullshit go find a place to rest and call it a day. He was tired, his head was killing him and he needed to get that damn stab wound clean and patched up because it was starting to hurt like a bitch. But before he could open his mouth to give her his retort the little voice reared its ugly little head again

"* sigh* How bad is this impeding darkness"

"If we do not stop my sister it could spell out the end of both the magical and mortal world as we know it"

'of course it is' Kaine though , his headache getting stronger. "…Fine ill help you. But you're goanna have to give me a more detailed explanation" Kaine replied.

"I will and thank you, but I warn you that even with your help the task before us won't be easy, we will be facing forces, darker than the ones we encountered here tonight and my sister will not be so easily defeated " She stated, picking up her sword. Then, turning to face Kaine

"Thanks for the heads up red but trust me I'm no push over myself" Kaine told her receiving a nod of confirmation

"We should retreat to my spell room to-." Tarot paused as she took notice of Kaine's wounds that hadn't been covered by the self repairing suit.

"You're injured," Tarot stated rather worried at the injury." Your wound must be tended to before infection sets in."

"Relax I'm fine. I just have to clean it and it'll be good as new in a few hours," Kaine said, looking at his shoulder.

"Still, you should let me tend to it once we reached my spell room."

"Sure, but first I think we should call 911 and let them know there's a dead bo-" Kaine paused mid sentence as his head ache had suddenly because almost unbearable."What... the hell."

"What's wrong?" Tarot asked

"M-My..head feels... like it's been hit by a bus."Kaine said right before his knees suddenly gave out felling to the ground." Feel… so… tired." Kaine could feel his strength rapidly draining, becoming weaker as each second past until he could no longer keep himself awake.

The last thing he saw before the darkness took him was Tarot, placing her arms around him, yelling at him to stay awake. She raised her arms and then a bright flash of light suddenly appeared before the world went dark.

(New World-Unknown Location)

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU COULDN'T GET IT?!" A woman Bellowed furiously seated on top of a black throne that was decorated with Gothic designs.

"I-It like I said we couldn't get the coffin you told us to get" Johnny told her while quivering in fear of her fury

"How could you have possibly failed to rob a coffin from an abandoned cemetery?!" The woman demanded furiously tilting her head left and right between the four men

"It wasn't our fault, some guy in a black and red came out of nowhere and attacked us!" Pierce Loudly told her as he cradled his head on his right hand while massaging his broke nose.

"A man in a black and red costume?" Question the woman raising an eyebrow at the man's excuse.

"Yeah, like pierce said he beat the crap out of us just as we were digging the coffin out." Johnny continued.

"Are you telling that the two of you were beaten by a single man?!"

"Ma'am we're telling you that guy h-he wasn't normal he couldn't be, he moved faster than a bullet, fuck he even sent the guy we paid to dig up the coffin flying with a single punch. I'm telling you whatever that guy was he wasn't human" Pierce tried to explain but his employer simply let out a sigh of exasperation.

"If this man was so much out of you capabilities why didn't you use the golems I gave you to eliminate him?"

"WE DID!" Johmmy said." B-but the guy just tore through them, god it was like watching pigs in a slaughter house"

"What?!" Shouted the woman rising to her feet in utter shock "Are you telling me this man slew all of my golems? Do you take me for a fool?"

"It's the truth!"

"Impossible! No mere peasant could have destroyed my creatures." Said the blue skinned woman as she began to descent down towards the two men with a dark expression on her face. But before she could decide on what punishment to inflict on the two men for failing her. A realization came to her dark mind.

"... Unless he had help" Whispered the woman." Magical help...Tarot."

"What the fucks a Tarot?" The bearded man asked.

"It sounds like a stripper's name" responded his young companion

"Quiet!" screamed the black causing both men to shut their mouths while trembling in fear as 'employer' radiated a dark menacing aura. "You worthless worms have costed me the key piece in my plans. But luckily for me i have a few 'replacement' before me" she said turning her gave towards the two frightens men with a wicked grin on her face. with a snap of her fingers dozens of undead crows emerged from the shadows and began to attack the two men.

"No! Stop please make them stop!" "oh God-ARGH!" both men screamed as they tried and failed to defend themselves against the onslaught of crows.

"...So you decided on opposing me instead of joining your own blood eh sister... well then let us see which sister fate favors Tarot... or Raven Hex"

I was inspired to do this when i both by Mark810 hex-citment along with hexy-tales and God of Alls Spiders and Witches, which I hope he'll continue, along with finding out that our man Kaine is coming back WOOOOO!. Now as the summary says this story will follow Kaine's adjustment into his new world and tries to make it his new home while defending it from whatever goes bump in the night and much more. Also if any of you get the chance I definitely recommend reading Tarot: witch of the black rose, fan service aside it's a pretty good read though id avoid reading it in public if you all catch my drift. Also on a slight note id like to apologies for any gramatical errors there are in the stroy, if anyone finds any please let me know Well that's all I have to sa, if you liked this story follow, favorite and leave a review.

Until next time, adios my friends)
