Oh I've lost you yes I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
Chapter 11 - Pain Of Loss
Author's Notes: I altered a lot from the original "What Goes Around" and "Ha Ha You're Dead" but it's still has the same basic plot.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"KEVIN!"
Turbinski's head snapped up, eyes narrowing. It appeared his next victim was coming straight towards him - perfect. Kevin was choking slightly. Turbinski snorted, "Poor Kevin Mask. Look at him now. So now do you know what it feels like to have your arms ripped from their sockets? Well do you?"
Kevin's arms lay on the canvas-mat covered with blood, detatched from his body and slightly twitching from where the nerves had been cut. Turbinski's hands were soaked with Kevin's blood and he unconsciously lifted a hand to his mouth, licking at the blood there. The two camera-men pulled off their disguises, revealing Pumpinator and Ricardo. Pumpinator was laughing, "Don't you just wish you hadn't left the dMp now, huh Kevin?" Ricardo looked slightly sick. He said nothing.
Lord Flash ran down to the ring, almost falling to his knees at the sight of his once-pupil. Turbinski laughed loudly and lifted Kevin's mask, uncovering the face that was hidden to the world for so long. Kevin's head slumped slightly to the side, trying to hide his face with the last ounce of dignity he had left. Lord Flash stepped closer to the ring, placing his hand on Kevin's knee, trying to comfort him. Kevin looked back at him, "You were... going to warn me about him." he choked out, "Weren't you?"
Tears formed at Lord Flash's eyes. Or something that looked like tears. Could androids even cry? "D-Da Kevin. Da..."
Turbinski laughed, bringing the android's attention back to him. "Here, take him!" Turbinski kicked Kevin out of the ring. Lord Flash cradled the dying Brit in his arms, stroking the dirty blonde hair out of his face. "Kevin... the only other time I saw you with your mask off was when I held you as a baby... after your parents came home from the hospital. That was so long ago..."
Kevin smiled weakly. His shoulders were twitching. Bone and broken nerves could be seen admist all the blood. He was choking, eyes focussing and unfocussing on Warsman's form. "Warsman..." he choked out. He felt his ex-trainer's hand close around his throat. Kevin knew what the android was going to do. "Thank you..." he whispered quietly so that Warsman and Warsman alone could hear it.
Warsman pulled his hand hard and snapped Kevin's neck, causing instant death. Painless. The great Kevin Mask, son of legendary Robin Mask and finalist of the Chojin Crown was dead. The audience who had been previously screaming in terror were shocked into silence. Even Pumpinator and Ricardo were silent. Pumpinator had finally realised that this had all gone too far. He'd never expected Kevin to actually die. Ricardo almost damn near fainted on the spot.
Turbinski laughed, jumping over the side of the ring. "Poor Kevin Mask..."
He held the Brit's mask in his his hands, gently stroking through the eye piece with one finger. Then he tightened his grasp around the metal mask, breaking it into pieces. They dropped to the floor. Lord Flash looked up, eyes narrowing at Turbinski, his arms still around Kevin's body, holding the Brit close to him.
There was a terrible silence between the two Russians. The one who had tried to save Kevin, and the one who had destroyed him. Finally, Turbinski lunged for Warsman, "YOU ARE NEXT ANDROID!" Lord Flash fell back and they scuffled for a while on the floor. The dumbstruck audience finally came to their senses and backed away from the two Russians. Turbinski's hands grabbed furiously at Warsman's arms, tearing open the circuitry. Warsman cried out, pain overtaking his sensors as Turbinski pulled out various wires and such from inside his left arm, leaving it wrecked and him unable to use it. Warsman pushed his legs up, throwing Turbinski away from him. The other Russian slammed hard into the opposite wall and slumped down, falling ungracefully to the floor.
Turbinski groaned and got back to his feet, shaking his head. Lord Flash pulled his one arm up in front of him, the back of his hand glowing slightly. Turbinski turned to the android, narrowing his eyes. Warsman hissed in surprise and unconsciously took a step back. Turbinski's head-gear had cracked - and one of his eyes were blood red. It reminded the Russian android of his former master, the Barracuda. Warsman looked around, this place... it was too crowded. He pointed at Turbinski, "Meet me in the warehouse behind the construction site in fifteen minutes. We will have our match there."
Turbinski snorted, standing up straight. "Very well." he rose one hand, clenching and unclenching it three times. "Fifteen minutes. If you're not there, then it will be Robin Mask who dies next." Warsman hissed, stood up and left the building without another word.
Turbinski smirked and turned to leave. Pumpinator ran forward and grabbed his arm forcefully, "Haven't you done enough? Kevin is dead, like you wanted."
Turbinski pulled his arm back, "This isn't about Kevin. This was never about Kevin! Kevin Mask's death was just a warning to Warsman. Everything that happened in my life is because of that android, and he is going to pay for it!"
"What the HELL are you talking about Turbinski?"
"Don't you get it?" Turbinski turned to face Pumpinator. The shoe Chojin said nothing. "Ugh! Never mind." Turbinski headed out, transforming into his plane form and flying towards the construction site. Ricardo and Pumpinator looked at each other awkwardly.
"I always knew dat guy was a psycopath..." murmured a quiet voice. Pumpinator and Ricardo turned to face the newcomer, eyes widening in disbelief. The newcomer headed down towards them, "Yous two, get back to da base, I'll deal with this." Pumpinator blinked uncertainly, "I said GO!"
"Right, come on Ricardo." they both left, heading back to the base.
The man headed over to Kevin's body, leaning over him and stroking his bloodied hair gently, "Shit Kev', why did yous come here...?"
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
The rain was pouring down around him, soaking his armour, but he didn't care. "Come on Warsman, stop playing hide and seek. I know you are here... come and meet your fate like Kevin did. Who knows...? Maybe androids get to go to heaven as well." Turbinski laughed, leaning one hand against his hip.
There were footsteps behind him. Turbinski turned around, smirking. At least he'd gotten rid of that Lord Flash constume he wore. Warsman seemed rather sluggish, his left arm sparking. Warsman's eyes glowed, speaking in Russian, "Does it make you feel proud comrade? You've deprived a man who has been hurt all his life of his only son, not only that, you've also deprived the world of a great Justice Chojin."
Turbinski smirked, "But of course."
Warsman pointed a finger at him, "You have lost your mind! You have gone completely insane!"
"BECAUSE YOU AND THAT BASTARD MADE ME THAT WAY!" Turbinski screamed back, lunging at Warsman.
No more words needed to be spoken. This was going to end. Right now.
