Authors Note: This is a prequel thing to No Fear; it features Jack's first sacrifice, of his stepfather ironically, and I also put in a word for word transcript of what my legit stepfather said to me not 5 minutes ago. So the bald-headed bastard finally has some use. I only own Jack and his stepfather. This is what Jack mentioned when he went to sacrifice Ivelisse, which is still the scariest thing I've ever written.
Enjoy, review and all that jazz.
'You're 19 years old Jack; start acting like it
One of these days I'm going to jam my fist down your throat
You're a fucking wuss Jack, grow up
Have some self-respect you dickhead'
That was the last conversation Jack Kustom had ever had with his step dad; the day after that, the 19 year old Englishman had left his Newcastle flat for the Dojo Kai temple in Japan. He had gotten no respect from anyone apart from his mother and a few college friends who were no longer around. Jack was hoping that he'd get some respect in the orient and after years of training; the now 23 year old Jack had been trained with the mysterious and enigmatic 'master' that all the Dojo Kai students pledged undying loyalty to.
The last Dojo Kai initiation test that all graduates had to do to pledge their undying loyalty to the master was to get someone they knew and sacrifice them, Jack had the perfect person in mind. The crew cut sporting Geordie had set up a fake meeting with his step-dad in Japan, where he would sacrifice him and get his own back for all the times that his step-dad made Jack feel like absolute trash.
The Dojo Kai temple itself had a very ancient Samurai temple feel to it, with the traditional roof layout of it looking like a Christmas tree, only more sinister, there was the flag of the Dojo with the kanji of 'Dojo Kai, Never Dies, Zero Fear'; there was a huge courtyard where the students would train and practice the art of hand to hand combat. However the old school feel was mixed with modern technology, all the students had access to laptops, TVs, video games and their own private living quarters; which was better than some of the students got back in their home countries.
Jack smirked as he sat in his quarters with some fellow UK natives, Wolfgang, Stevie Boy, Kay Lee Ray, Chris Renfrew, BT Gunn and Jack's best friend who hailed from Mexico known as Pentagon Junior. "Okay guys; I can't wait for my cunt of a step-dad to get here, not only am I going to make that bald-headed prick suffer, but I get to become the newest official Dojo Kai member, will you guys be tagging along?" Jack offered as the other unsworn in DK members smirked and nodded.
Suddenly Jack got a text from his step-dad, who still believed he was going for a job interview 'I'm here; where are you?' as Jack responded by texting 'Just enter, me and my associates will meet you there and show you to the interview room' as Jack smirked and looked to his best friends before saying "Time to get my first sacrifice under my belt" as he stood up and walked out of his quarters with Pentagon, KLR, Stevie, Chris, BT and Wolfgang.
Meanwhile, Jack's step-dad stood in the stone hallways of the Dojo Kai temple, wondering if he'd come all the way to Japan for nothing, he was a lean man with a shaved head and a smart business suit on and a shaved head, he got the shock of his life when he saw his step-son strolling from around a corner with his associates behind him.
"Hi Paddy" Jack smiled "Miss me?" Jack politely extended a handshake, he hope that his stepdad would at least apologise to him for being such a bully as Paddy, or Patrick, looked at the extended hand of his step-son before saying "What the fuck are you doing here? Did you set this up you fucking prick!?"
"Please, look, we just want to-"Jack calmly said only for Patrick to shout at him "Don't you interrupt me you fucking cunt!" as Jack still just smiled calmly and nodded as his step-dad continued to shout at him "You better not have been pranking me, you stupid fucking waste of space, I'm gonna knock you out."
"Go on then" Jack calmly said with a cherry demeanour as his stepdad went to punch him only for Jack to catch his hand, perform a judo takeover that caused his step-dad to land right on his back as Jack had a hold of his arm. "Now, I wouldn't have wanted to do this if you were any good as a step-dad. But since you gave me nothing but grief, I don't really feel bad about this at all" Jack calmly stated, his tone similar to the Phone Guy from Five Nights At Freddy's only with a Geordie accent.
Jack grabbed his step-dad's arm as his step-dad tried to apologise "Look, Jack, I'm sorry okay" as Jack simply scoffed "If you weren't in this position you wouldn't be apologising. I'm going to remember this moment as one of the happiest in my life" as Jack pulled back in the signature Dojo Kai arm-breaker fashion as he felt his step-dad's arm snap and break like a twig.
As his step-dad screamed in pain, Jack calmly crotched down and smiled cheerfully "Now it's time to take you to the interview room…only it's my interview, with my master, he's more of a father than you'll ever be. Now come on Paddy, he's got more students to see." Jack sighed as he kicked his downed step-dad in the ribs as Wolfgang viciously yanked the screaming middle aged man up.
"Now this is where I've been for four years, the Dojo Kai dojo; it's a lovely place; we've got everything, we've got technology and martial arts know-how. But as I found out; it has something more important…a family; it's given me a sense of respect, attention and love that you have never given me." Jack said as he entered the room where the Dojo Kai 'master' was.
The room in question was dark and cold with the phrase 'Dojo Kai, Never Dies, Zero Fear' on the wall in white letters; there was an open casket in the centre of the room and a big shrine to their nameless and faceless master; Jack walked to the end of the room and started to pray in Spanish and English to his master as Wolfgang started to bound Jack's stepdad so he couldn't run or fight back.
"Now" Jack smiled as his former tormentor was thrown to his feet "The roles are quite reversed aren't they Patrick? You're not so mouthy anymore are you?" Jack smiled as he patronisingly patted his step-dad on the head before giving him a swift series of boots to the ribs as he pulled the bloodied and broken armed Paddy up and calmly said to him.
"It's ironic. You've obviously never heard of the phrase 'Treat others like you want to be treated' well I have something I wanted to say to you in response to what you said to me the day before I finally left that hell-hole I called home" Jack smirked and cleared his throat before rearing back and spitting right in his step-dad's face.
"FUCK YOU! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU SUFFER YOU BALD-HEADED SON OF A BITCH!" Jack suddenly psychopathically screamed out as he started to kick and punch his injured step-dad as he let out all of the anger and rage for the verbal torment his step-dad put Jack through as Jack, with blood all over his hands, stepped back and smiled when he saw his step-dad was still conscious.
"Sorry about that. Had to get that off my chest" Jack said with a cheerful chuckle as he grabbed his barely conscious step-dad and threw him into the open casket before saying "You're going to be a sacrifice to my new master. The master of the Dojo Kai; to be honest I wanted to kill you anyway so at least I get something out if it" Jack laughed as he whistled casually before coming back with a canister of gasoline.
Jack hummed to himself as he poured the contents into the casket and all over his panicking step-father as Jack emptied the contents he snapped out "Dojo Kai! Never Dies! Zero Fear!" as he slammed the lid shut and locked it before lighting a match and dropping it into a small hole in the casket, burning his step-dad alive as Jack bowed before his master and started to laugh psychopathically as he heard his step-dad scream and perish inside the casket.
It didn't matter now though; he had a new family in Dojo Kai. He would now be prepared to do anything for his master and little did Jack know, in a few months' time he would be in Boyle Heights with his best friend Pentagon Junior to show America how Dojo Kai operated.
