The Past Returns: Chapter Eight
"Well I take it upon hearing that news you're probably going to stay huh?" Shin asked. "I understand it's only natural, don't worry it's okay, thank you for the help. Vicious and Julia will both pay for what they've done to me".
"No Shin your wrong. Like I said before, it's been decided I'm going no matter what".
The Next Morning . . .
Faye, who felt better physically and emotionally, sat at the kitchen table eating a donut. After she finished she headed back to her bedroom but when she opened the door she was pulled by and against someone. It was Spike.
He held her tightly to him. "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?" he demanded.
"What I decide to do is my business besides, who do you think you are to come here and
barge into my room?"
"Your room? You didn't think so a few months ago. Anyway, that's beside the point, I demand to know why Faye, why? After all I do have a right to know".
"Why? Are you going to actually stay and cancel your plans with Shin just so you can actually be a father?" She saw the answer written in his eyes, `no'. "I thought so but do you really want to know why I kept it hidden from you, it was because I saw the pressure you were already in and I didn't think you needed a new problem on your shoulders . . . anyway don't worry about me. I'm only three months along so I have plenty of time to get situated".
"Faye you were never a problem to me. I love you and I love you even more knowing that you're carrying our child".
"Correction Spike, my child. So why don't you return to your plan of vengeance against Vicious. Oh, and just to keep your conscious at ease me and my child do not need anything from you. I have Jet, heck even Ed and Ein to get me through this".
" . . . Well then that's that huh?" Spike let go of her. "I also came by to tell you that I'm leaving . . . I don't know if I'll be coming back. Just remember that I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you and that I love you Faye". He kissed her on the cheek. "Tell the baby about me", and left the room.
As soon as he did Faye locked the door and sled down against the wall crying. "I love you too Spike".

Spike and Shin went to Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, because that was where the Red Dragon syndicate's main building was located. They made it there within two months, making stops along the way to plan and lay out plans. Both went to the building and studied how many imperial guards were around and what time Vicious arrived and left. Too preoccupied in their work neither one knew how many more months had passed before they decided it was the right time to attack.
The building was located in an isolated area away from the civilization and was twice as big as a mansion with tall white gates surrounding it and about forty or so imperial guards walking about the compound.
"Okay Spike remember take out as much imperial guards as you can. Once we're inside you go for anyone who tries to attack you and Vicious is mine. No matter what do not intervene, this is something I need to settle myself". Shin told him.
"I respect that. Good luck my friend".
"Okay it's now or never".
Both took out their guns loaded and ran the gates. Shin shot the lock and kicked it opened. Immediately guards surrounded them however, it was of no concern for Spike and Shin they took out half of the guards and within seconds the alarm sounded off. Sensing that Vicious might escape they ran into the building as the twenty guards that were left chased them up the stairs. Both finally reached the superior court office and kicked opened the door. Spike locked the door shut and could hear pounding from the guards coming from the other side. When he turned around several guards and members stood on their feet while Vicious sat calmly at his desk.
"So Spike, Shin, to what do I own this special visit to? I must admit I'm quite impressed you made it this far . . . it's so hard to get good security these days".
"You will pay Vicious!" Shin yelled.
"Funny, because as I recall you were the last person who was paying the last time we met. Enough chit - chat let's play. Attack!" with that said the guards and members quickly advanced upon Shin and Spike.
Shin took out his sword and sliced his way to Vicious. Now standing face to face with him and seeing that he also had his sword in hand. "This is your final opportunity Shin, let's see what you're really made of".
"You'll regret everything you ever did to me but before I kill you I want to hear you beg for forgiveness", he lifted his sword and aim to strike him about the ribs, which Vicious blocked easily.
Shin continued to aim to his neck, chest, head, and legs, it was no use Vicious had always blocked his strike it was as if he knew what he was thinking. He didn't give up, he thought about Linda and imagined her beautiful smile she always had, that gave him more will to continue. With one hand he aimed for the ribs again and predicting that he would block that blow as well, with the other hand he punched his face and delivered a spinning back kick. With Vicious surprised and stunned, Shin took this time to kick the sword out of his hands and delivered more kicks and punched towards the body.
On the other hand Spike was fighting off the other guards and members that have came to attack him. He side kicked one person in the stomach, took out his gun and shot four other guys that were coming his way. There were only about five more left he did a spinning hook kick on guy number one and two which fell unconsciously to the floor. Guy number three he shot him in the leg and taken slightly off guard guy number four managed to knock him on his back while guy number five was beating the living daylights out of him. He regained his strength grabbed both hands of the guy and flipped him over with his legs so that he collated with guy number five. Slightly wounded he staggered to his feet and glanced over to where Shin and Vicious were fighting, seeing that his friend had the upper hand he smiled and look on at the fight.
Shin gave a series of multiple punches to the body and head; he ended it with a sidekick, which caused Vicious to fall hard against the wall. Shin smirked thinking he had won the battle so he then brought his sword above his head. "This is for Linda", Spike heard him say. Just then he saw a bullet go through his body. He turned around and saw who had shot him. There she stood, Julia. However, this time it was as if he were staring at a different woman although she looked the same. She stood staying at the entrance of another door that joined the superior court office to another, in her black leather uniform with a smoking gun in hand. If he still felt love for this woman like he did so long along, although his heart was now occupied with another, it was definitely gone. Rage and hatred filled him as he continued to stare at this cold heartless woman.
Vicious laughed and Spike turned his attention back to them. Shin fell to his knees and gripped his wound. "My beautiful and loyal Julia, she never did fail me Spike. Like I always say I no matter what I win! I believe this is my grand exit, do hope to see you again Spike", with that he fled with Julia and left.
Spike ran to Shin. He touched the wound and realized that it had punctured an organ.
"Damn Vicious, damn Julia. DAMN THEM BOTH TO HELL!" Spike screamed.
"Spike, promise me not to go after them now".
"I can't do that".
"As a dying wish, I beg you. You're filled with rage and hatred which will blind you and probably turn up dead just like me".
"Okay. But I swear to you Shin that I will get vengeance for you and me. Until then go on, go to Linda".
"I will my friend, just as long as you return to what you left behind". Those were the last words he said and breathed his last breath, as he fell to the floor, dead.
Several moments passed. "I think I will Shin, I think I will go back to what I left behind", Spike said and left the room in utter silence.
"Well I take it upon hearing that news you're probably going to stay huh?" Shin asked. "I understand it's only natural, don't worry it's okay, thank you for the help. Vicious and Julia will both pay for what they've done to me".
"No Shin your wrong. Like I said before, it's been decided I'm going no matter what".
