Chapter IV

My name is Dewey Duck, and I am a survivor. It's been a week since Louie was injected with demons blood. He still has 3 day until he wakes up. Destiny finally recovered somewhat from her injuries, but she still needs more time to heal. Baron and Iris want to stay by their side until they recover, so it's me and the new guy, Dante, looking master Washi. At first, I was reluctant to fight against my master, but now I'll do what ever it takes to save Webby. As we search for Washi though, I kind of want to know more about Dante.

Dewey and Dante were looking in what used to be Seattle for Washi. As they walked around the city, Dewey decided to strike a conversation.

"How did you end up joining the group?" Dewey asked.

"Well, we just came across each other and they needed my help." Dante said as Dewey was unsatisfied with his answer. Dante noticed this and continued. "I was alone. I had a group, but they all died in a demon attack. After I killed the demons, some of the blood got in my mouth, so I got my demon abilities. My demon taught me more about demon abilities and the powers we gain from them. My demon ability is being able to control the wind around me. It helps my bullets go faster. What's your ability?" Dewey thought about it as he started to answer.

"From what I already know, when my demon ability activates, I can't die until my target is dead." Dewey said causing Dante to be surprised. "And I also gain an immense amount of power." Dante was shocked by how over powered Dewey was. "But it comes at a price. Once it activates, I'm not in control of my body. My demon takes full control." Dante then felt like asking Dewey a question.

"What's with the relationship between you and this Washi guy anyway?" Dante asked causing Dewey to shift his emotions from curiosity to intensity.

"He was my master." Dewey said as Dante listened. "We drank the demons blood together and we both survived. We would both use our demon abilities until got too out of control. Though I remember what his abilities were. He had the ability to see the future. So he knew what move you were gonna make before you made it. On top of that, he's the best swordsman I've ever seen." Dante started to comprehend how powerful Washi was. Dewey then started to remember that Dante didn't fully answer his question. "So how did you meet our group again?" Dante then answered.

"When I was walking down an alleyway of what used to be Chicago, I overheard your friends talking about Coton." Dante said as Dewey listened. "They didn't know where it was and they were talking about rescuing two people inside. I already knew where Coton was, so I said I'd help them in exchange for me joining their group. If you're wondering why Louie and I were on top of the RV, it's because there was someone on the roof that was trying to kill us. He might have done it if he didn't leave by saying 'It's not your time yet'." Dewey was surprised to hear that and started to ask Dante another question.

"Was the man that was trying to kill you an old Asian guy with an eye patch and a katana?" Dewey asked as Dante nodded in agreement. "That man was master Washi, and it looks like he already knows we're looking for him."

Huey, April, and Henry made it to what used to be California. They all the way to the ocean. The ocean used to be beautiful, blue, and full of life. Now it's just a desert wasteland full of nothing but demons. Henry was confused about where they were.

"I thought you said we were going to the ocean." Henry said as Huey took out a ball and threw it on the ground.

"This is the ocean." Huey said as the ball turned into a red car. It looked like a luxury car from the before times. April seemed upset.

"We walked all the way from the east coast and you had that the whole time?!" April said angrily as Huey explained.

"It only has enough mileage to get us there and back." Huey explained as April sighed. "I know I should have said something but I didn't think I had to at the time. Also, I only used this on Beak's special missions. And according to my calculations it will stop working right when we get back." April then took out a sword and started sharpening it.

"We're gonna kill him right?!" April asked as Huey answered.

"I'm not sure yet." Huey said causing April to stop sharpening her sword.

"Henry, can you close your ears for a second?" April requested calmly as she started talking to Huey.

"What the hell!" April said angrily as Huey tried explain himself.

"I've never killed a damn kid's relative in front of him before, how do you expect me to kill him in front of Henry?!" Huey said causing April to hold her forehead.

"God damn it would you stop being so amateur, you're the Blood Revenge, you killed plenty of people before." April said.

"I used to be the Blood Revenge." Huey said he tried to start the car. "And even still, I never murdered a man in front of a child. I did it when they were vulnerable and alone, or at least away from their family!" Huey said as April pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Look we're figuring something out before we get there, or so help me God, I'll..." April was cut off by Henry.

"Mr. Huey, Ms. April, is it alright if I call you aunt and uncle?" Henry asked as Huey and April stopped having their argument. They didn't know what to say.

"Um, whatever you feel comfortable with Henry." Huey said as Henry smiled.

"Okay Uncle Huey." Henry said as the car started. Henry then got in the car. As Huey got in, April grabbed his hand.

"This conversation, isn't over." April said causing Huey to laugh nervously. Once they all got in the car, Huey started to drive through the ocean desert. He then started thinking to himself. If you take out the fact that they were both former assassins determining whether a child's uncle should live or die, he actually started to feel human. He didn't feel like a runaway test subject anymore. He felt like he was apart of a family.

Baron sat on the RV as Iris sat on it with him. Baron didn't want anything bad happening to Destiny, so he tried to be look out. Iris kept staring at a weird looking building.

"What's that building over there, Baron?" Iris asked as Baron looked at the building. He started laughing.

"I know what it is, I just don't know what it's called." Baron said as Iris was confused. He started to explain. "My parents took me and my cousins here once. Well, when I had cousins and parents. Our whole family called it the UFO building, because it looks like a flying space craft. We never really knew what it was called. It was famous though." Iris didn't know what question to ask first. Either why was it famous or what happened to his family. She decided not to ask to many questions about his family.

"Why was it so famous?" Iris asked as Baron laughed a little more.

"Cause it looked like a space craft." Baron answer as he noticed Iris was a little unsatisfied. He knew she wanted to know a little more about him.

"If you wanna know if my family died before this, then I'll tell you." Baron said as Iris was curious. "My mother died of cancer, my father died of pneumonia. We weren't very rich back in the day, so we couldn't afford treatment. My sister committed suicide after her whole situation. My cousins and I were the only ones left. When the whole apocalypse thing started, I witnessed one of my cousins get burned alive in a pit of fire from hell. I wanted to save him but I knew there was nothing I could do. My other cousin Darius tried to save his brother, but I told him it was too dangerous. As he reached for him, demons came out and took my cousin with them. When I tried to get him back, Darius fell to the ground. I lost both my cousins that day." Iris soon regretted wanting to know about Baron's family.

"So about that UFO building thingy." Iris said as Baron saw her pointing at the building. "Is that thing on top of the needle an alien?" Baron was confused as he looked closer. It looked like a person was standing on top of the needle. He tried to get his binoculars from a compartment in the RV. Once he got them, he looked at the man standing on the with the binoculars. It was an old Asian man with a katana. He zoomed in and realized he had an eyepatch. It was the same guy that attacked them when they were going to attack Coton to rescue Dewey. The man was looking right at him. The man was probably 5 miles away, and he was looking right at Baron's eyes. Baron now knew who the man was.

"If that's not Dewey's master Washi, I don't know who is." Baron said as he took the binoculars from his face. He started to prepare for a fight as Washi started running down the building. He was amazed that Washi could do that. He didn't even think it was possible for any human to do that. But he wasn't just any human, he's the only human that ever officially beat Dewey. Iris started to prepare as well, she's been practicing with her demon abilities as well. What ever happens, they will protect Louie and Destiny, no matter what.

It was starting to get dark. Huey and April let Henry sleep as Huey and April talked about what they would do to Falcon when they see him. Huey eventually agreed that Falcon had to die, so they started talking about Henry.

"Why did Henry want to call us aunt and uncle?" April asked as Huey looked at the sun setting. "I mean, I would get mom and dad, but..."

"As we were walking, I told him about my uncle Donald." Huey said as April listened. "I told him about how my uncle only cared about us. He would always have our back. He didn't care about himself as much as he cared about us. That's what a true uncle is. That's what a true father is. The fact that his uncle didn't even want to keep him, the fact that he abandoned him, sickens me." April smiled.

"That was really sweet of you." April said as she and Huey watched the sunset. They then turned around to watch the moonrise.

"It's rarely ever that you get to see both the sunset and the moonrise." Huey said as April became fascinated. He then pulled something out of his pocket. It was a little red case.

"Sin, April, we've known each for a long time." Huey started as April listened. "Everyday in Waddle was a living hell, except when I was with you. For the past 4 and a half years since you got there, you helped me through the toughest times. Even though we didn't know each other's real names, we knew each other's real in interest." As the moon started to rise above their heads, Huey opened the case, causing April to gasp. "April, I don't know how long we have left, so let's make every second count. Will you do me the honor, of letting me have your hand in marriage?" April didn't know what to say. She looked at the ring and gave Huey a kiss. She then put the ring on.

"When this is all over, we've got a lot of wedding planning to do." April said as she hugged Huey. Huey was happy that he was now gonna have a family. Just then, he sensed the presence of other people. His happy expression turned into something serious as both former assassins got their weapons out.

"We're surrounded." Huey said as a familiar voice called from out of nowhere.

"And outnumbered." Falcon Greaves said as he came out from hiding. "We were just delivering something to Rank 1. Would you happen to know her by any chance?" Falcon then showed Huey a cage. Inside of the cage, was his former friend and Dewey's current love interest, Webby.
