I DID IT! I UPDATED!!!

Well, let's not waste any time, I'll try to be quick with announcements. For those of you who are waiting for me to update 'Vestige', let me just mention this; since 'Vestige' is merely a spin-off of the main storyline, its only gonna be a few chapters, if I'm lucky, it'll be at least 8-10 chapters, if not, it'll be at least 5. But don't be upset. Davis will still have a good amount of screen time during the third Dark Jester story.

So without further ado, on with the story.

Knock knock.

Takato simply groaned under his blanket.

Knock knock.

"Aw, come on." Takato forced himself up and dragged his feet to the front door. He finally got himself into his night robe and got to the door. When he opened it, Rika was standing there. "Rika?" Takato rubbed his eyes, "It's a school day, what are you doing here?"

Rika simply raised a newspaper up to his eye level, "Looks like I was right when I thought you'd be exhausted at this time."

Takato took the paper and read the headlines.

Blood Rose Returns!

Masked hero returns once again after a long hiatus to bring justice back into our lives. His first act after his long disappearance was to stop the successful escape of armed bank robbers.

"...oh..." Takato looked at the paper. "So, is this why you skipped class?"

"I'm on a break today." Rika said, "But what's this about? I thought you said you needed more time before you can return to being Blood Rose."

"Well, I guess I couldn't resist the city's cry for help." Takato said. He took the paper with him to his living room and slumped on the single seated couch. "And I'll be honest, it was good to stop the bad guys again."

"So I guess this means you'll be out more often these days?" Rika asked.

"Well, I guess so." Takato said, "But that doesn't mean I'll have to be away from you for long. We can still work something out. After all, I'm a superhero, I always get things done my way."

"Takato, try not to be too confident." Rika said to him, "Not all superheroes had it easy."

"Easy?" Takato asked, "If I remember correctly, life wasn't easy for me when I first became Blood Rose."

"Oh, alright. You win." Rika punched him on the arm, "But don't let it get to your giant head."

"So um... do you want to go get something to eat?" Takato asked.

"Actually, I was thinking of doing something else first." Rika grinned. She pushed Takato onto his bed and then she sat on top of him.

"Whoa, wait a minute." Takato said, "Here? Now?"

"Yeah. Why not?"

"Hold on." Takato pushed Rika off of him as she rolled to the side of the bed. "This is a little too sudden. First of all, I just got out of bed, you find out about me going back to my hero time, and now you want to make love to me?"

"Make love? Takato, don't be such a pussy." Rika said, "You can call it sex."

"Sex, make love, either way, this is a little too sudden right now." Takato said.

"Oh come on. You don't work today, I don't have school today, we're alone in your apartment." Rika said, as she slowly crawled her way back on Takato. "What's wrong with doing it now?"

"Oh god..." Takato muttered under his breath, "Might as well."

"The least you could do is enjoy it, even if you pretend." Rika said. She then took off her shirt, revealing much more skin than Takato had seen before, she was now sitting on top of him with her bra visible to him.

Downtown, just outside a bank, police cars surrounded the building with the officers standing behind their open doors with their guns aimed at the bank door.

"This is your last warning, come out with your hands up, or we will be forced to go to extreme measures." On of the officers said through a loudspeaker.

While they waited for a response, a loud explosion broke out from the side of the bank, far from the front entrance. Everybody in the vicinity of the bank ducked in cover, worried that the explosion was closer and didn't want to be hit by the debris. From the explosion, several masked men came running out, holding several large bags and guns.

"There they are!" On of the officers shouted, "Pursuit!"

Being too big to follow by the car, the police ran after the criminals, but with the head start, the criminals had the upperhand in the run. They were able to outrun those officers through the alleyway and made their way across the street and through another alley way.

Takato and Rika sat together on Takato's sofa while they watched TV. There was an pizza box with a few crusts inside and several pop cans. The TV was turned onto an episode of Kamen Rider Kabuto, showing a scene of a man in a suit being thrown out of a van in the rain, with another man in a trenchcoat sitting in the rain.

"So, what's the point of this?" Rika asked, "Why is that guy kicked out of ZECT?"

"Because he sucks." Takato answered, "I never liked him to begin with."

The TV suddenly changed into a special report.

"Aw, come on!" Takato complained.

"We interrupt this program with a special report happening right in Shinjuku."

"Oh great." Takato muttered.

"A bank robbery has taken place just downtown." The reporter said, "The bank robbers have eluded the police and are now on the run."

"These guys just don't learn." Takato said to himself. He turned to Rika, "Sorry, looks like we'll have to end things for tonight."

"It's alright." Rika said, "Just don't get yourself killed." Rika suddenly dropped her expression, "Oh god, it hurt just saying that. Anyways, give me a call tomorrow after school."

"Alright, night." Takato showed Rika out the door. When she left, Takato locked the door and went to his bedroom. He went to his closet and took out the small chest and opened it. "Well, its never too late to teach them."

The criminals made their way to the fenced gateway of a car dumpster. They all tossed their loot over the fence and then climbed over.

"Did we make it?" one asked.

"Dunno, are they still on our tail?"

"No, I don't see any of them cops."

"Come on, we still gotta meet with our ride." They all picked up the bags and ran deeper into the junkyard. As they continued to run, one of them suddenly tripped and was dragged off into the shadows.

"What the..." They all looked back when they heard a scream, but saw nothing. "Yo, Kanji. Where are you man?" With their attention now focused on one of their men, another was suddenly dragged off into the shadow. They all turned to that direction, but as before, nothing. "Yuusuke?" This continued to go on until only five were left out of ten.

"This is bad. I'm outta here." One of them ran off, but he didn't get far. Suddenly, a crimson figure dropped from the sky and kicked him in the head.

"It's Blood Rose!" They all pulled out their guns and cocked them. "Come on!" one of them shouted. "Draw your gun!"

"Gun? No, I walk a different path than that." Blood Rose whipped out his rose and it flashed into a rapier. He quickly sliced the gun apart from the first gunman and kicked him back. When the others came at him with their guns, Blood Rose quickly destroyed their guns as well in the same fashion. The rapier then flashed back into a rose, as Blood Rose placed it back on his belt. He ran at the first gunman and kicked him right at the guts, knocking him on the ground. He then jumped up with a spinning reverse kick at the next, he then landed on the ground and leaped forward delivering a punch at the next.

"What the hell?" The last standing gunman exclaimed. In his state of panic, he charged at Blood Rose, swinging his fist around. Blood Rose teleported behind him, and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and yanked him off his feet. He then used his telekinesis and pulled the thug towards him and when he was at close range, Blood Rose kicked him right at the face, knocking him out cold.

"Well, that takes care of that." Blood Rose said, dusting his hands clean.

"Now, you behave and stay here until the police arrive." Blood Rose finished up tying the last of the criminals with the chains he found around the junkyard. "They should be here in a few minutes." Done with his nightly duty, Blood Rose left them there and made his way out of the junkyard. When he was out of sight of the criminals, he took off his mask and ran his finger through his hair. "Well, that's enough for me for tonight."

"Oh, not quite."

"Huh?" Takato looked around the junkyard. He knew very well who it was, the voice was familiar. "Havik..."

"Missed me, boy?" Havik suddenly appeared behind him, sitting on a wrecked car. "I was beginning to think that you forgot about me."

"You're kinda hard to ignore." Takato said. He put his mask back on, fitting it perfectly on his face.

"Well, I'm flattered to know you remembered." Havik chuckled.

"You're done with causing trouble." Blood Rose said, drawing out his rapier. "I took care of four demon freaks, I can take care of one psychopath." He grasped onto the handle tightly, hopefully, this will be the last time Havik ever appears.

"Then I shall make your death, be the greatest chaos this world will ever see." Havik said, with a supposedly gleeful grin.

Blood Rose charged forward, aiming his rapier forward, making it be the first thing to come in contact with Havik. Once the two collided, their respective weapons clashed with the sound of metal grinding metal and the clang of blades making contact. Blood Rose took a swipe at Havik, but Havik dodged the slash, When Blood Rose tried to take a swipe at the legs, Havik retaliated by snapping his legs and bending them the opposite way, dodging the tip of the blade. Havik then snapped his legs back into proper place.

"Nice try, Blood Rose." Havik cackled. "But you'll have to do better than that if you want to defeat me."

"Better? Like this?" Blood Rose used his telekinesis and lifted Havik up to the sky. Using his two free hands, he lifted up two of the many trashed cars and lifted them up to Havik. With the motion of is arms, he brought his hands together and the cars smashed into each other with Havik in between. The two cars then fell to the ground, with the cars giving off a slight bounce as it hit the ground and the pieces of the car breaking off. "Well, that was easy."

From under the wreck, Havik slowly got back onto his feet, but with a heavily deformed body; his neck was hanging to the side, his left leg was broken, his right arm was broken off, and his left hand was snapped. Havik snapped all his joints back in place and cracked his neck to the side. "Heh, tickled."

"Son of a..."

"Well, let's get to the real fight now." Havik lunged forward and dived down to the ground. He continued to drag his body along the ground until he reached Blood Rose. once he did, he grabbed Blood Rose's ankles and lifted him up. Havik then swung Blood Rose around, smashing him against the junk and finally tossing him into the stack of cars.

Blood Rose slowly got up, badly bruised and bloodied up. He waited until all his cuts were healed and his bruises faded off. He got back on his feet and wiped off the excess blood from his chin. Blood Rose stabbed his rapier to the ground, leaving both his hands free. He then conjured up his telekinesis to lift up a large amount of dangerously large objects; poles, thick scraps of metal, glass, anything he knew would do serious damage. Swinging his arms forward, all the objects flung towards Havik, all at once, but Havik simply batted at them with his weapon, smashing them away leaving him unharmed.

"Is this the power that the Demonic Brothers fell to?" Havik laughed, "How pathetic, either you were lucky, or they were weaker than I thought."

"Oh sure, rub it in." Blood Rose groaned. He watched as Havik swung his Morning Star around, flailing it in circles. "Keep it up, I'm gonna make you eat that thing." He needed to be clever on this, frontal attacks proved to be no good, and smashing him with stuff was just as pointless, he needed to think of something new. The only solution he had was to find an opening for him to attack him with his rapier, the blade that the Demonic Brothers fell to, the Rose was what overpowered them.

He finally had an idea.

Blood Rose threw his rose directly at Havik, and as he predicted, Havik side-stepped and the rose. Timing it, Blood Rose used his telekinesis and brought the rose flying back towards him. The rose changed back into the rapier, catching Havik's attention, but before he could prevent it, the rapier sliced at his side and back into Blood Rose's hands. He then charged at Havik and with his sword, he slashed at Havik several times and finally finished it by running the blade through Havik's chest.

"About time, you bastard." Blood Rose grunted. When he removed the blade, Havik fell to his knees. "And that's the end of that." Blood Rose turned and walked away, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard Havik laughing. He turned back around and looked over to Havik, who was still kneeling, but now laughing psychotically.

"This isn't over." Havik said, "You've simply delayed the inevitable. Chaos will destroy this world, and I shall be the one to rule it all."

"Well, as long as I delay it, I'll take all the time I need to kill you." Blood Rose raised his rapier at Havik.

"You won't be around to delay it anymore." Havik said, "Suffer in darkness. ETERNAL DARKNESS!!!" Havik's body began to be covered by a sheet of darkness, slowly enveloping him from the ground and crawling up to his head. Once the shadow completely covered Havik, the figure that took shape of his body sank to the ground, gradually flattening until it was nothing but a shadow pool.

Blood Rose looked down at the pool of shadow that Havik left behind. "What is this?"

The shadow suddenly began to move around as if something was underneath it and trying to break out. Suddenly, the shadow pool broke out into many roots, all directing at Blood Rose. Before he could escape, the shadow took hold of him and began to consume his body. While Blood Rose did all he could to try and remove this shadow, all his attempts were hopeless as the shadow continued to grow over him. By the time the last bit of his body was covered, his scream was muffled as if he was being stuffed by a pillow. Amidst the struggle, his body slowly sank into the ground, until all that was left was nothing more than the pavement that he once stood.

When Blood Rose opened his eyes, he found that he was in darkness, perhaps he was still in the grasp of the shadow. When he pressed his hands down to push himself up, the ground under him was suddenly soft.

Sand?

Blood Rose looked down and saw that it was indeed sand. But the sand was strange, it wasn't in color like ordinary sand. It was...colorless.

"Where am I?" he asked himself. He looked around the colorless beach, realizing he was no longer on the streets of Shinjuku.

From the far end of the shoreline, a black caped figure watched as the new arrival looked around the beach, as if he was looking for any form of life.

"Well well, it seems I have a visitor."
