Chapter 50: Dublin Dangerous!
(Normal POV)
We then found ourselves on another ship heading for Ireland, I was pretty stoked for this. I was heading to the land of my ansectors. I was smoking a cigarette and I was joined by my partner in crime Jase.
"Can I bum a smoke off of you?" He asked as I pulled out my pack of smokes and flicked one out for him, he then pulls out a lighter and lights his cigarette.
"Looks like our next destination is Dublin, Ireland." I said as I took another puff from my smoke. And within a moment's time, we found ourselves of the coast of mother Ireland.
Now me being of both Irish and Scottish descent, there are two things I flat out refuse to do. One: wear a kilt, and Two: eat hagus. For anyone who doesn't know what hagus is, it's sheeps intestine with ground up internal organs inside it. And it's considered a delicacy in Scotland.
"We'll be reaching port soon, so you might want to get your stuff ready." Dutch said behind us, Jase and I then collected our cases filled with weapons.
The ship finally docked and we were finally made our way to Dublin where as we were coming in, a building exploded. Luckily we were out of the blast radius. My guess was that it had to be another act by the IRA, they wanted Ireland to be for the Irish and not have any protestants in this country.
"I'm afraid with all of this happening, this is as far as I'm going to take you." The driver said with an Irish accent.
I understood, it was better to be safe than sorry. I then handed the driver some money.
"For your worries." I said as he took it from me, we got out and got our stuff. The driver then backed up and drove off. We walked closer to the damage of the bomb, there were many people suffering and many others dead. I could bet my bottom dollar it had something to do with the IRA.
"What's the situation?" Balalaika asked, I was trying to estimate the number of dead to the number of injured.
"A bomb exploded here, and I estimate a good thirteen dead, and twenty five wounded." I replied, soon after the police and paramedics show up.
"Looks like we need to schedule the meeting now." Balalaika suggested, she also added "Otaku, take Rock and meet up with our contacts. I still need to take care of some loose ends. Jase you're with me."
Rock-O and I headed for the designated meeting place which was an Irish pub. We then met with our new found allies as they came in, I just hope that Rock knows fluent Gaelic, because if the Irish speak in English then it might be recorded.
[We welcome you fine gentlemen, please have a seat.] The Irish leader said as Rock-O and I sat down.
"Thank you for having us here, we had a bit of an issue on the way here." I said as Rock-O translated what I said into Gaelic.
[So, where's Balalaika? She said that she'd be here, why did she send you?] Another man asked in the same language.
"My boss is dealing with a personal issue, she'll be here as soon as she takes care of a small nusciance." I answered with the same effect of Rock-O translating. My phone rang, it was Balalaika.
[Yes?] I said in Russian.
"I have some good news, we found the one who detonated the bomb. He set it off too early and it was meant for us. And here's the really interesting part, he's working for EPSILON."
[Fuck my life, just kill him and send his corpse as a message.] I replied, [Also how long do you think you can get here for this meeting? The Irish are getting antsy for you.]
"Tell them that I'll be there in fifteen minutes." She said, she then hung up as did I. Focusing on Balalaika, Jase doused the bomb assassin in gasoline. He was gagged and tied with duct tape, he couldn't move or talk.
"We hope that you could be a little more precise, about who or what you kill. Becuase if you don't, then you might be the one to end up dead." Balalaika added.
"And now my friend, this is where we part ways." Jase said as he lit a flare and tossed it onto the man as it caught him on fire and his skin was charred and he died of major third degree burns all over his body.
*Fifteen minutes later...*
I saw on a TV, that the news was covering a the explosion that had happened here in Dublin.
"We have reason to believe that the IRA is responsible for this sudden attck in downtown Dublin, plus there's been a string of bombs going off. Three is Glasgow, Scotland. And five more in London, England. We also have footage of the one's responsible for these heinous acts."
The footage then changed to a man who was shadowed out and had a monotone voice.
"Greetings one and all, I call myself EPSILON. I am after the men who call themselves Otaku and Jase, if anyone can bring them to the police so I can claim them. If not, then these acts of terror will continue. And I do have a message for both Otaku and Jase, I'm also having a series of assassins to either kill you or gather you. Either way, you'll be mine. But if you manage to kill these assassins, then you'll be one step closer to a one on one confrontation with your's truly."
The screen then changed and the reporter said, "If anyone has any information regarding any or all of this, please report it to the local authorites." Looks like EPSILON wants to start World War III.
"I'm not going to give you boys up without a fight. If this EPSILON wants to start World War III, let him. We'll fight it and win it." Balalaika ensured us. Just then, a group of armed men came aroud the pub and had their guns drawn.
Looks like this pub was going to be a kill box if we don't act soon, the Irish leader then showed us to an underground path that was used to carry liquor from the road to the pub. We made it outside, but the exit was blocked and we had one chance to take out the front guards.
"Ready to do this?" I said as I pulled out a garrote.
"Ready when you are." Jase replied as he pulled out the same weapon.
I then let out a whistle as the guard heard it and he turned around, he then came closer and I had one chance to take him out quietly.
"Stay here, I'm going to take look." The one guard said as he came into the opening, he turned on a flashlight...and was moving down the narrow corridor. As soon as he was in the room with all of us, Jase slipped the garrote wire around the man's neck, and choked him to death. He then slid the body into the darkness.
"Sheamus? Are you there?" The other guard called, Jase and I switched sides, the other guard came in...and I did the same thing to him as Jase did to his partner, choke him to death. I also placed my knee onto his back for additonal leverage to kill the guard.
Just then, we heard the sounds of Revy's Sword Cutlasses firing. This was going to be a fight for the ages!
"Anybody else wanna try to take me on?!" Revy shouted as she was holding her own against the so called assassins.
I pull out my guns as did Jase, now this is a way that you would say, "Welcome to Dublin, Ireland."
(A/N: Well, these next two arcs are going to be the "Irish fury" Arcs, and I've been schemeing to do this arc for so long. Assassins, drinking, murder, money, bravados, and all the good stuff that make this crossover possible. Is all thanks to those who support my work. Thank you all for your continued support. I will try to piece together who EPSILON is, it's just gonna take some time for me to unravel him. And I'll try to find some good assassins for hi to try to take us out in the mean time as well. Until the next chapter, Auf Weidersehen!)
