Origin of the Gunslinger (Chapter 11)
Daniel didn't trust Obsidian and the feeling was mutual. The two denied to walk behind the other in fear that one would kill the other.
"You'd better not try anything asshole" Obsidian said
"Oh ha ha. Making it seem like I'LL do something"
"You will. You ALWAYS do"
"Name onetime"
"Hm, let's see" he said sarcastically "Maybe the time you pretended to start to leave and you whipped around and scar-ed my face for life"
"Oh yea" the Gunslinger chuckled
Obsidian's face began to turn red with anger
"YOU…YOU…"
"Shut it" Gunslinger said, cautious "We're close, I can feel it"
"Like you can 'feel' when a weapon is close to you"
And just then, the Gunslinger caught an silent arrow as it was about to pierce Obsidian's face
"Exactly"
The two looked up and saw a man with a crossbow pointed at them. Before the Gunslinger could pull out a gun, Obsidian pulled out a sniper rifle and shot the man. He fell over and grabbed a rope and slowed his fall. He gasped and clutched his chest as he bleed on the floor. Obsidian put his rifle away and smiled smugly at the Gunslinger
"Oh yea REAL original" the Gunslinger said, rolling his eyes
He walked over to the man and grabbed the sides of the man's head. He extended his right leg for support as he smashed the man's head on the concrete
"You can be helpful or you can be dead"
"I'll never help either of you"
"Fine then"
The Gunslinger smashed his face hard on the concrete. The man's nose broke and he started to sniff, trying not to cry
"A grown man crying, that's just sad" Obsidian said, crossing his arms
"Ok, ok, ok. I'll help, I'll help"
"Tell me NOW" the Gunslinger stressed
"Um, well. That freaky looking vampire guy felt drained since he was brought back so quickly. He trusted the device to another enemy of yours but I forget who"
"Good enough"
The Gunslinger let him go and shot him in the back of the head, killing him instantly
"Great Gunslinger, now we lost a possible hostage"
"Hey he was dead when you shot him got it?"
Obsidian shook his head and saw a large warehouse at the end of the area. Suspicious, he walked toward it. Still not trusting him, the Gunslinger followed. The walked in and the Gunslinger got a tingle up his spine. He moved to the side and a fist whooshed past his head. He grabbed the wrist and flipped the man over his shoulder. He slammed onto the concrete and broke his back. Then, a group came out and surrounded them. Then, the two vigilantes heard the 'THUMP…THUMP' of giant footsteps. Then, a large 8 or 9 foot man came out. He was large and buff with muscle. His arms were very hairy and bushy with brown hair. He had a bald head and large dark eyes. His teeth were large and looked like they could bite through bone. His teeth clenched as he saw the Gunslinger
"Oh shit" the Gunslinger said
"Who the hell is that?" Obsidian asked "And why does it look like he hates you more than I do?"
"That's…"
"I MAMMOTH" the large guy yelled "I want to kill Gunslinger"
"Yea big guy?" the Gunslinger said "You've never been able to before"
Obsidian looked around and slipped out a small device from a hidden compartment in his jacket, by his wrist. The pressed the button and it extended into a steel spear. He slashed a man's chest and kicked him down. That started everything off. The Gunslinger slid under Mammoth as a fist tried to smash him. It missed and cracked the concrete. He pulled out his chain whip and jumped up to the level of Mammoth's neck. He put the chain on Mammoth's neck and squeezed. Mammoth stumbled around and fell over, passed out. The Gunslinger moved the body over and went to kill the other men. One person almost slashed Obsidian's neck, but the Gunslinger shot the man
"Nice" Obsidian said, killing another man
The Gunslinger saw a man holding a slick black, handheld object in his hand. The man panicked and tried to run. The Gunslinger, however, grabbed the man's neck and put a gun up to the side of his head
"That the device?" the Gunslinger asked
"Um…um…"
"Tell me now or you'll have a bullet in your brain faster than you can say 'oops'"
"Fine…fine yea it is"
The Gunslinger ripped the device out of his hand and leaned closer
"You go and tell your boss that I'm comin' for him. He'd better watch his back"
He dropped the man and the guy scrambled away, scared out of his mind
The Gunslinger looked down at the device. He turned it in his hand once and turned around.
"We did it. We actually…"
Then, something hit his head hard and knocked him down. He held the device in his hand loosely. He heard steps coming toward him and he assumed it was a villain. He tried to grab his gun, but a foot stopped him. The person bent down and picked up the device. The Gunslinger looked up to see Obsidian smirking while holding the device in his head.
"Obsidian" the Gunslinger "we had a deal you ass"
"Yea, but you never got me to PROMISE anything"
"You dick, you just used me to get the device?"
"Pretty much. You should have seen this coming Gunslinger"
He tossed the device in his hand and continued
"The ability to control people, that's something I CAN'T just throw that away. I'll keep crooks off the streets and people will finally accept ME as their hero, not you"
"Well I stopped a bomb from blowing everyone up, beat that dip shit" the Gunslinger said, smugly
Obsidian turned and walked to the way they'd came in
"This isn't over Obsidian "the Gunslinger growled
"Oh I know Gunslinger. I still have to 'thank you' for the SCAR ON MY FACE!"
"You're welcome" the Gunslinger said smugly as Obsidian walked out angrily
The Gunslinger got up on his elbows and took out his phone and pressed his speed dial
"Mark, I need you right NOW! Don't ask me why, just come to the warehouse on 3rd. The one with the retarded pizza boy, which one do you think? It's the ONLY warehouse on 3rd. Just hurry"
He put his phone away and began to crawl away. He slowly picked up his gun and put it away. His head hurt a little and he felt the back of his head and felt wetness. He knew right away that it was blood. He looked over and saw a bloody wrench that he was sure Obsidian had used. He quickly crawled toward the place where Mark would pick him up, hopefully, soon
0o0o0o0o0o0
He'd gotten to his weapons room in just enough time to not lose a lot of blood. Mark had wrapped up his head and made sure he was fine.
"Thanks man" the Gunslinger said, gently touching his head
"It's cool, just stop touching your head"
The Gunslinger rolled his eyes but did what he asked
"So why didn't you want to go after Obsidian?" Mark asked
"Other than the fact that I had blood loss?"
"Yep, that sounds good"
"Well…Obsidian thinks he outsmarted me…"
"Didn't he?"
The Gunslinger smiled "Not even close"
"You psyco" Mark smiled "What did you do?"
0o0o0o0o0
Obsidian got to a safe distance from the Gunslinger before taking a break. He knew this blow wouldn't keep him down for long, it never did. He looked at the device and smiled, his brown-yellow eyes full of joy. He'd finally get to stop playing second fiddle to the Gunslinger and his murderous ways. Then, he thought he heard a beeping coming from somewhere…or something. The turned the device just in time to see a small bomb on the back. Then, the device blew up, leaving his hand black with ash. All that remained was a chuck of black. Obsidian's face twisted in rage
"He knew" he thought "He KNEW I'd do this"
He threw down the chunk and his fists tightened in rage. He'd been outsmarted by his own rival
"GUNSLINGER" he yelled in rage
