Chapter 1

It has been several hours since the plane took off from New York, the flight for the most part was good but to someone who was wearing a black Armani suit the flight was boring. This person had long dark hair that reached his shoulders and lightly tanned skin and on his neck was a tattoo with the name Jenny; this man's name was Jackie Estacado to everyone else he looked like a business man, but in reality he was the head of the Franchetti crime family who currently were the most powerful family in New York. Jackie's beginnings started off like everyone else when he was born his mother died in child birth and his father was the one who was left to raise him, his father did a good job too, even if he wasn't always there for him but on his 7th birthday his father died some say from a heart attack others say he died from years of doing smack but in reality no one really knew how he died. After his death Jackie was sent to St. Mary's orphanage where he became quick friends with a girl there named Jenny Romano. The two of them were inseparable Jackie acted as her protector and shoulder to cry on where Jenny acted as his conscious, kept him in control of his rage and was his biggest supporter, but eventually Jackie was later adopted by Paulie Franchetti the don of the Franchetti family before Jackie.

Instead of being excited Jackie was devastated and refused to go at first, but Paulie wouldn't take no for an answer. Before Jackie left he swore to Jenny that even though he was leaving that they would always be friends and he will come by to visit her; this made Jenny happy and she gave him a hug. Unfortunately when Jackie was brought home his life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, the reason Paulie adopted him was because he needed a new hit man in his organization so by the time Jackie was 12 he was being taught how to became a killer and he was really good at what he did. But Jackie and Paulie never saw eye to eye on the way Paulie did business; Jackie believed that they should have respected and honor the rules and codes of the family as well as looking out for the people, but Paulie didn't care as long as he got rich this would always lead to an argument between the two.

Then on his 21st birthday everything changed, Jackie was coming back home when both he and two of his friends failed to collect Paulie's money and so they decided to whack a guy that crossed Paulie before in the past. So the three of them decided to go to the Grave's Ends construction site and put a bullet or two in the man's skull. But on the way there they were being chased by the cops who happened to be under the command of the Captain Eddie Shrote who worked very closely with Paulie. Jackie was confused as to why Eddie's boys were chasing them but he didn't want to know and instead he and his friends began shooting at the cops but one of Jackie's buddies, Nino died during the car chase. When they lost the cops they discovered that the Irish mob was there waiting for them Jackie and his friend Mikey were able to get through but they crashed their ride. While Jackie was okay Mikey broke his leg with bone sticking out, Jackie pulled him from the wreckage but he knew Mikey wasn't going to make it, Mikey then gave him his first birthday present on that day a pair of handguns with engraved markings on them. Jackie took them and still uses them to this day in honor of Mikey, Jackie stayed with him until he bled out and then he closed Mikey's eyes and moved towards the hit.

When he finally got there he discovered that this was a setup from his Uncle Paulie who got sick of Jackie and tried to kill him, the next thing he discovered was the man he tried to kill was already dead and there was a bomb strapped to him courtesy of his backstabbing Uncle Paulie. Jackie was able to get away from the blast but discovered that Paulie sent some of his boys to make sure Jackie was dead. They chased him all the way to Trinity Cemetery and Jackie was able to kill a couple of them before hiding in the bathrooms. Jackie then discovered from a bum living there that the only way out was to go through Paulie's men; Jackie thought if he was going to die he would take as many men with him to hell. But when midnight came around that was when he got his second birthday gift.

On the way out Jackie couldn't control his body but what got to him was that there was a long black tentacle coming from him destroying some lights next two demonic snake heads came from both his shoulders and while he was walking towards Paulie's men the demonic heads made quick work of them when he finally got control of his body again he wondered what the hell was going on. Turns out that Jackie was the new host of an ancient demonic entity known as The Darkness and that it has been in his family since his great-great-grandfather Anthony Estacado brought it into the family during World War 1. Jackie soon discovered that as long as there was no lights he had the powers of a god and Jackie decided to use his new found powers to kill his asshole Uncle Paulie, but before he could do that he decided to check on Jenny. After he left the orphanage Jackie had been true to his word and visited Jenny and over time they began to fall in love with each other and by the time they were 16 they started going out. When he got to Jenny's new apartment she had a cake ready for him and the two of them spent some time together.

After she fell asleep on the couch Jackie decided to check on his friend Butcher Joyce to see if he could help him with Paulie. Even though Butcher was never one for politics when it came to the family, he knew Jackie's father and was always Jackie's friend first so he told him how to hit Paulie where it hurt, by killing one of his biggest drug dealers Dutch Oven Harry. Jackie made quick work of Paulie's drug dealer and then he got some info from and another old friend named Jimmy the Grape who was an old school mobster and told Jackie where to make another dent in Paulie's operation Jackie then asked if Jimmy could look after Jenny while he was doing this and Jimmy agreed wholeheartedly. When Jackie was done he went back to Jimmy he found that he was beaten up pretty bad and that both Eddie and Paulie kidnapped Jenny and took her to the ruins of the St. Mary's Orphanage. When Jackie got there The Darkness decide to make a point to Jackie that it was in control of him not the other way around, and The Darkness forced Jackie to watch as Paulie killed Jenny the only woman he ever loved.

The Darkness said that Jenny was a burden, but Jackie didn't listen and picked up a gun and committed suicide against The Darkness' will. Jackie was then sent to Hell while The Darkness repaired his body there he met Anthony Estacado and together the two of them came up with a plan to fight against The Darkness. Jackie was able to get two guns made by a previous Darkness host to help him control it, but before Jackie could act on the rest of the plan The Darkness brought him back to life. Jackie then decided that he was going to kill both Paulie and Eddie for what they did, so first Jackie went after Eddie only for him to get away but Butcher came through for him and told him of a suitcase that contained both Eddie's and Paulie's dirty little secrets. After Jackie "borrowed" the suitcase and killed anyone who got in his way Butcher put a bomb in the suitcase as a surprise for Eddie.

Jackie then got a call from Eddie telling him that he wanted the case back. Jackie then arranged a meeting at Trinity Church and told him to come alone, but Jackie knew that Eddie was going to bring back up. The reason Jackie chose the Church was because in order to go back to Hell which he later discovered was actually where the mind of The Darkness was he had to commit suicide on holy ground. But even though Jackie killed a lot of Eddie's men he didn't anticipate that Eddie would use flash bangs on him. When Jackie work up he was tortured by Eddie but when some idiot blocked some of the lights that was trained on Jackie to keep him from using his powers, Jackie summoned a tentacle that destroyed both the case and activated the bomb inside killing all of them. When Jackie woke up he was back in Hell again and together with Anthony they were able to get a shell for a cannon in order to get inside the Darkness' fortress, but Anthony was lost along the way. When Jackie entered the castle and gave up his powers and he discovered a physical manifestation of the Darkness and it attacked him.

Just as Jackie was about to lose hope he heard Jenny's voice telling him to find another way to beat it. In the end Jackie walked up to the Darkness and absorb it, embracing it which allowed him to gain control over it. When Jackie opened his eyes again he discovered that he was once again back in the land of the living. Jackie then went to visit his Aunt Sarah who was married to the original don of the family before Paulie and was an old friend of his father's but to Jackie she was her real Aunt cause she was the only other person to love him for who he was aside from Jenny. Aunt Sarah along with Butcher and Jimmy told Jackie of a boat that was owned by the Chicago Families that was coming in with Paulie's drugs and told him that if he killed the captain of the ship the Chicago families will wash their hands of Paulie for good.

Jackie went to the Santa Maria and killed everyone on that boat, but he then got a page from Aunt Sarah that they were under attack and that Paulie sent his goons after them. Jackie hurried back and helped the others kill off the goon squad. After the dust settled Jimmy asked Jackie if he wanted to become the new Don of the family, Jackie thought about it and said yes then when Butcher came over he told Jackie where Paulie was hiding and told him that he had a friend who would take him to Paulie's lighthouse mansion. Wasting no time Jackie found the guy and he took him to Paulie's hideout. When they got to the mansion there was a solar eclipse which allowed Jackie to use his powers, the moment Jackie got off the boat he began to unleash hell on what was left of Paulie's forces. Jackie summoned an army of darklings which were demonic servants made from the Darkness he also used his Darkness guns and unleashed black holes and used his demonic arms to impale anyone in his way. By the time he was done the only living thing on the island was Jackie and Paulie. Paulie begged for his life like the pathetic piece of shit that he was, but Jackie killed him by putting a bullet right between his eyes. 4 months later Jackie became the don of the Franchetti family and he expanded his territory but he also decided he would never use The Darkness ever again to punish it for what it did to Jenny.

Fast forward two years later and Jackie is on a plane heading for Japan the reason for this is because he recently got into contact with an old friend. That friend was named Saito Murakawa who was the head of a Yakuza family in Tokyo. Jackie remembered Saito when he was still working for his Uncle Paulie the two of them were partners in a major drug deal and while Saito was in America, Jackie was order to act as his escort and bodyguard and when the two of them hung out they got along really well Jackie saw that Saito was a good man and Saito saw that Jackie was a man of honor. But Paulie came up with a scheme that ended up screwing over Saito. Paulie was able to frame Saito for a crime he didn't commit and by working with Eddie they either arrested or killed most of his men and were closing in on him, Paulie even told Jackie to find him and kill him. When Jackie found Saito instead of killing him Jackie helped Saito escape from Paulie and flee the states. Paulie suspected that Jackie helped Saito but considering he had no proof and Jackie was one of his best hit-men at the time he let it go, plus considering that when the drug deal was a success and he was able to keep all the profit without sharing it, so he was happy.

Since then Saito said that he has owed Jackie a debt that he could never repay and said that he need help and he wanted to see if they could form an alliance between their two families. Jackie was interested in the part about the alliance with the two of them together they could have an easier time expanding their territories in their respective countries and their partnership would be very lucrative in terms of profit, so Jackie decided to bring his right hand man Vinnie with him as well as Eddie and Frank to act as his muscle, he also left both Jimmy and Butcher in charge of the Family until he got back. After saying goodbye to his Aunt Sarah, Jackie and his men got on his private jet and flew to Japan.

Jackie was brought out of his thoughts the moment the plane landed on solid ground Jackie then looked at Vinnie who was the first to stand up "So did you enjoy your little nap, boss?" Jackie popped a couple of bones, smiled and said "Yeah it was real refreshing, but it doesn't change the fact that the flight was still boring." Eddie agreed with Jackie by saying "Jesus that was a long ass flight." Frank then added "Well what the hell do you expect numb nuts. We had to fly across the U.S. and the Pacific Ocean just to get here." Jackie stood up and walked out of the plane with his boys following him out of the plane. When he walked down the ramp he saw that it was night and that a limo was already waiting for them, Jackie smiled and thought that it was good to always plan ahead. Vinnie got to the limo first and opened the door for Jackie who got in followed by everyone else.

Vinnie then said to his boss "Alright Jackie, first order of business will be us getting settled in the city. So while the limo takes us to the hotel I'll make some calls and get in touch with Saito, is there anything else you want to do while we wait?" Jackie shook his head no and said "No, even though this is a business trip there's no reason why we can't have some fun. So Vinnie, when we get to the hotel and you make the call the three of you can enjoy yourselves." Frank then asks "What about you, boss? What are you going to do?" Jackie looked out the window and said "I think I'll do some exploring of the city and stretch my legs." Eddie agreed with that and said "I think I'll do the same I also wanted to try Japanese food" Frank looked at his brother in law and said "What the hell are you talking about, you hate fish?" Eddie looked at Frank and replied with a perverse grin "That's not the kind of fish I'm talking about." Jackie shook his head amused and said "Sounds like Eddie has a case of Yellow Fever." Eddie smiled at his boss and said "An' the only cure is some Asian babes." Jackie looked at Eddie and said "Try not to have too much fun." All of them had a good laugh and then the rest of the ride was in silence.

When they got to the hotel they checked in while Vinnie, Eddy, and Frank got high quality rooms Jackie got the penthouse suite. When Jackie settled in; he put his clothes away got his twin pistols and put them in their holsters and he then went out for a night on the town. While Jackie was walking around he noticed that there was some armed guards walking around the city he also noticed on the way in to Tokyo which was now called Shinto Teito there were military checkpoints at the entrance to the city. Jackie was confused as to why there was so much security as far as Jackie knew there were no reports or news of a terrorist attack or anything that would warrant something like this, Just as Jackie was about to move on he thought he saw movement above him when he got a closer look he was surprised when he saw a woman jumping from roof top to roof top with relative ease. He also saw that the woman was being chased by two other people, Jackie then thought about this and was going to ignore the whole thing, but for some reason something was telling him to follow them. Jackie wanted to ignore this feeling but in the end he chose to follow that girl.

Uzume was not having a good day. When she woke up today and went to get some breakfast, Miya chastised her about coming down stairs naked again. Miya then scared the crap out of her with her terrifying Hannya mask stare. When Uzume came back down stairs fully clothed this time she had her breakfast and help Miya with the dishes just when she was going to go outside to enjoy her day Miya came to her and asked if she could help her with the groceries. Uzume decided to help her out considering one she was staying for free at Maison Izumo and two she didn't want to give Miya a reason to use her Hannya stare on her again. Plus Kagari was busy at his job, so she said yes got Miya's list and went to the supermarket. When Uzume was heading home she was intercepted by two people she recognized Sekirei #40 Shi and Sekirei #31 Sai who were Higa Izumi' s Sekirei. Sai was the one to talk first "Hello #10, how are you?" Uzume kept her guard up and said nothing Shi was the one to talk next "#10 we have good news for you. Our master Higa has chosen you to become his next Sekirei you should feel honored." Uzume felt disgusted and said "I'm not reacting to Higa so I know he is not my Ashikabi." Sai then said "Either way you don't have a choice. So you'll either come with us or we'll force you to come."

Uzume decided to take a chance and make a run for it. Uzume began jumping from rooftop to rooftop she was trying to find a crowd believing that they would not chase her if it meant drawing attention to themselves. Uzume dropped down to an alleyway and ran down it and turned left only to find a dead end, as she was about to turn around and head back she saw both Shi and Sai on the other end, Uzume then began to back away from the two other Sekirei. Sai then said "There is nowhere to run Number 10, so just give up peacefully and maybe we won't have to hurt you too bad." Uzume had no idea what to do she didn't have her battle robes and she could handle two Sekirei on her own without her battle attire Uzume began to tremble 'No...No…I can't let it end like this. I want to find me true Ashikabi I don't want to be a slave to somebody I don't love.' Uzume then began to cry 'Somebody…..please…help me.' And just when Uzume was about to lose hope, her prayers were answered.

Jackie kept up with the woman as best as he could he then found them down an alleyway where two other woman, he had no idea what was going on but he knew that the woman at the end was in trouble. When he got a good look at her he saw that she was a very well-endowed young woman with curves in the right places, she wore a very tight pink shirt with a gold star in the middle of her chest which showed her massive assets. She also wore tight Capri jeans that showed her lovely waist. Jackie also saw she was quite a looker with big brown eyes and long brown hair that was tied into a ponytail on the side of her head. all in all Jackie saw she was very beautiful, if nothing else she was going to help her out because she was in a tight jam "Hey leave her alone." Sai and Shi turned around and they looked at Jackie with an unimpressed look while Uzume was surprised that someone was here to actually help her. Sai was the first to speak "Who the hell are you?" Jackie then walked up to them slowly and said "Who I am isn't important. What is important is that you are going to leave that sweet girl alone."

Shi then said "This matter doesn't concern you, please walk away before you get hurt." Jackie wasn't going to leave for all he knew they could have been human traffickers trying to kidnap and sell that woman off. Jackie then noticed that they were carrying weapons one had a bunch of knives on strings that were in between her fingers, while the other one had blades attached to her arms. Jackie took out his pistols and said "I'm not leaving her to you. Last chance leave now." Sai then said "Normally attacking and killing a human is against the rules, but I think I'm just gonna kill you anyway." At that moment Sai ran towards Jackie. Jackie was surprised by how fast she was, but Jackie was able to move out of the way in time and fire a couple of rounds at her. Sai dodged the rounds and ran towards him again Jackie was prepared this time instead of dodging he sidestepped her attack and he kneed her in the stomach knocking the wind out of her. Just before Jackie was about to put a bullet in her skull he heard someone yell "LOOK OUT!" he turned around and saw the woman with arm blades charging forth he tried to dodge out the way but he was cut on the shoulder, luckily though she was only able to hit cloth.

Uzume watched the fight unfold before her, she was worried for the man that was fighting for her. Just when she was about to move in and help him get away, she felt a strong heat flow through her body. Uzume began breathing heavily and looked at the man in the Armani suit and she then said to herself "I finally found him." Jackie was having a hard time dealing with both of these women at the same time. Every time he tried to shoot them, they either dodge or blocked the bullets. Then the woman with the arm blades moved in and attacked him, Jackie was able to dodge the blade, but the woman then kicked him away from her. Jackie rolled on the ground and hit a wall, he felt like he was hit by a fucking sledgehammer there was no way this woman was that strong unless those two weren't human. Just as Jackie was about to get up he heard a voice in his head "What's the matter Jackie having a little trouble? If you really want to make them pay, all you have to do…Is give in to The Darkness." Jackie knew that The Darkness was looking for any way to break free, but he wasn't going to give it the fucking satisfaction. Jackie then fired a couple more rounds at the duo all the while hearing The Darkness saying "Ussseeee my power Jaaaccckkiee and these vermin will be squashed like the bugs they are." Jackie then said mostly to himself "Fuck off." Jackie was about to fire another volley when he ran out of ammo.

The two girls then rushed him while he was trying to reload, Jackie knew that they would kill him before he got the chance to reload, but before he was cut down the woman he was trying to save tackled him out of the way. Jackie looked up at the woman who was currently straddling him. She was blushing and was breathing heavily if he wasn't completely sure, and he was she was very horny and it look like she wanted to screw him right here and now. Before Jackie could say anything the woman began to speak "I finally found you. My destined one….My Ashikabi. Please." She then began to lean in close and said "give me my wings." Jackie was very confused, of course he was never one to turn down sex, but right now wasn't the time. Then he heard the Darkness yelling "GET AWAY FROM HER JACKIE. DO NOT LET HER MARK YOU!" Before Jackie could do anything the woman kissed her. Jackie has confused by what was going on but he could tell that the brunette was a great kisser, but what happened next was astounding; behind her bright yellow lights that looked like wings grew from her back and spread around them in that moment the woman looked like an angel.

When the kiss was over the woman looked down at Jackie and said with a smile "Sekirei #10, Uzume. I am yours now and forever." She then caressed his check and added "By the veil of my contract, my Ashikabi's nightmares shall be dispelled." Jackie was memorized by what was just happening one minute he was trying to save this woman and the next she kisses him and weird shit begins to happen and now she was basically professing her love for him. Don't get him wrong ever since the Darkness manifested itself on his 21st birthday shit has always been weird, but this was a whole new level of weird. Before Jackie could make sense of any of this, Sai then said "Dammit that fucking monkey winged #10 now we can't bring her back to our master." Shi then said "We have no choice now we must leave." Sai then said "Oh hell no, we aren't leaving yet. Not until I kill that son of a bitch." Sai then charged forth. Uzume was about to shield her new Ashikabi, but Jackie moved her out of the way and was going to take the blow for her. Then out of nowhere a fire ball struck the ground between them making Sai back off from the pair she looks up and she sees Homura, the Guardian of the unwinged Sekirei standing on top of a ledge before jumping down and standing in front of Sai. He said casually "This Sekirei is already winged by her true Ashikabi. Now leave unless you both want to be burned to a crisp." Sai was angry but she knew they couldn't take on both number ten and a single number, so she turned to Shi and told her that they were leaving and they jumped away from the scene.

Homura then turned to Uzume and asked "You okay, Uzume?" She nodded and replied "Thanks for the save back there, Homura." The Guardian Sekirei shrugged his shoulders and said "No problem, I'm glad you finally found your Ashikabi." Then Homura left as well. Uzume then looked back at Jackie who was still on the ground, still trying to figure out what the hell was going on when he noticed that Uzume was offering him a hand up. Jackie took the hand and Uzume helped him to his feet she then asks "Are you okay?" Jackie then replies "Yeah I'm fine. Are you alright?" Uzume smiles a loving smile and says "I have never been better." Jackie still has no idea what is going on, but when he looks at Uzume's smile he can't help but smile back.

Yeah I really wanted to do a crossover like this cause I think that Jackie's Sekirei would be able to help him through his emotional pain of Jenny's death as well as become his new light in the darkness. I hope you guys like this and if you guys have any ideas let me know. Also I am going to use the Darkness games universe with bits and pieces from the comics to add to the story.
