Some Time Later (in New Marais)…
Sly with Bentley and Murray, Dante with his friend Kat, Zeke, and Parappa with his friends along with the city's residents were all gathered around for a funeral, but just any ordinary funeral, it was one for their now deceased friend: Cole MacGrath, who heroically sacrificed himself to stop a monster that everyone in that world referred to as: "The Beast". The one who was once known as : "The Demon of Empire City" will be forever remembered as: "The Patron Saint of New Marais". His amp was gently placed into his grave while a giant of portrait of him was hung on the church. But Cole's coffin was being loaded onto to a boat over bay the swamp which led out to sea which did leave the other unlikely heroes curious but thankfully Zeke had an explanation for them.
"Hey guys, I hope ya'll don't mind but since I know Cole longer than you guys I just wanted to say goodbye to him personally, he was like a brother to me." Zeke said taking off his sunglasses.
"No problem Zeke, just go ahead with what needs to be done, we said our goodbyes already." Sly explained hoping that the last part didn't sound too disrespectful.
"Thanks man, I appreciate that, and I'm sure Cole does too. Well, I'll see y'all soon." Zeke finished putting his sunglasses back on walking away.
Everyone else told Zeke "bye" as they began to talk among themselves.
"I'll tell you guys one thing, Cole will make one hell of an angel." Dante said with a straight face.
"Yeah, and maybe he'll meet my mom and dad, they would like nothing more than to meet someone like Cole." Sly said nonchalantly, but still trying to little the mood a little.
"Well, I know that he wouldn't want us to be upset, maybe now we can still help out with this city." Parappa suggested with a hopeful smile.
"Not that I think it's a bad idea Parappa, but after hearing about what Cole is capable of and that it is possible for other conduits in this world to be just as powerful as he was, I don't think that there will any crimes for a while." Kat pointed out. "But if there is still a way to help I would like to how."
"I could use some help." Voice spoke behind the crowd.
"Mother- what now!?" Dante groaned as sword appeared on his back which he quickly grabbed it while having a sense deja vu. He looked down and pointed at a cardboard box that just seemed to appear out of nowhere. Than someone emerged from the box that can be described as the same way Cole did, white hair, a samurai sword, and looks like that he was made of metal who was listening to the whole conversation.
"Vergil! Again!?" Kat gasped, Dante then mode in front of her protectively.
"No, take a closer look." He said to her. "You must be the guy that attacked Cole."
"So what if I am?" The stranger asked.
"Then you better back off while you still can." Dante reported back pointing his sword at the cyborg. "Last chance to walk away."
"Relax, I'm not here to fight any of you." He corrected. "But I really could use some help."
"With what? Getting you a new eye?" Sly joked noticing how the mysterious cyborg was missing one.
"Funny, but no, I'm actually a spy for the U.S. Government where I come from, my team did a lot of research on you guys."
"So what does that do with us?" Sly asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well, what if I told you that I have a job for you that if you agree to do it, me and my team can see if we can help get you guys a pardon for your crimes in your world?" He answered.
"Hmmm, I don't know, that would make my job a little less exciting than usual." Sly reply with a smirk. "But what the hey, I'm all ears." Sly concluded with Bentley and Murray also listening closely.
"Alright, you guys must know I go by Raiden, and I was wondering if you guys can help out in dealing with a few terrorist." Raiden told them.
"Terrorist eh? What kind?" Dante asked having a good feeling about the offer.
"They're a group of people who go by code names like Monsoon, Sundowner, and Jetstream Sam, the bastard who cost me my arm and eye." Raiden answered with clear disgust. "Normally I would just go ahead and take them out one at a time, but after hearing what YOU GUYS are capable of, you'll be saving both me and a whole lot of innocent people some trouble if any of you are willing to lend a hand. So what do you three say?"
"Count me in, I'm getting sick of just fighting demons." Dante said still having a smile.
"Me too!" Parappa joined in also with a confident look on his face, but then his friends panicked.
"Parappa you can't do this!" His friend Katty said.
"Yeah, you could get killed." PJ added.
"I know, but I gotta do it. It's the right thing." Parappa said right of the bat.
"Okay, but please… be careful." Sunny Funny said with complete concern.
"Don't worry, I just gotta believe." He said helping his friends relax a little more.
"Bentley, Murray, what do you guys think?" Sly asked looking back at his childhood friends.
"Aw yeah, bring on the bad guys!" Murray exclaimed flexing his muscles.
"Of course Sly, we're with you not matter what." Bentley told Sly, then turned to Raiden. "Raiden if you don't mind I would like a sample of whatever technology half of you is made, seems far more advance than most of my inventions."
"You'll have to ask Doktor about that. But I'm sure he won't mind." The cyborg assassin then looked at his "volunteers" and unsheathed his sword. "Now with that out of the way." He clenched his fist and his visor appeared over his eyes. "Let's go!"
Hey it's The Kill Boss, I'm sorry if it's looks like I'm favoring Cole way too much, even though I will admit that I do enjoy playing as him the most in All-Stars. Also, incase if anyone is wondering (I doubt that any of you are) in the Intro Chapter when I said that I "made" the story's cover, I meant that I made the match-up in it from the Official Playstation All-Stars website, I just edited like I did to the Lady Death movie poster. Other than that, I hope you guys enjoyed reading this story because I enjoyed writing it, no need to sound egotistical of course. And I'll see ya'll next time.
