I don't own anything in this story
Darkwings, Nothing, and Judas went to the barbershop Sharp Cuts that was run by middle aged barber Jay Sharp. Darkwings felt his hair was getting too long and needed a trim. They walked through the door and sat down to wait their turns. Jay usually had several other barbers working alongside him but today he was all alone in the shop.
"Ah….Darkwings" Jay said as he wiped a seat clean. "Come…sit." Darkwings noticed several other men in the shop who had been waiting longer.
"It seems like you already have a line" Darkwings said motioning to the men sitting down.
"Nah nah man, you go ahead bro" one of the men said.
"Yeah feel free" said the other. Darkwings thought it was odd but he sat in the chair.
"Just a trim" Darkwings told Jay.
"You sure…?" Jaw asked. "You look like you need a bit of a shave too…" he said as he ran a hand over Darkwings's five o'clock shadow. "I'll throw it in for free" Jay said in a begging tone.
"Okay…." Darkwings said. He was starting to get suspicious and without Jay's knowledge he took a peak at his thoughts using his powers. He suddenly felt Jay's razor knick his throat. "Hey, easy there Jay. You almost got me."
"So-sorry" Jay muttered as he continued his shave.
"Hey Nothing, Judas, why not go walk around a bit and pick up some smokes for me while you wait" Darkwings suggested.
"Smokes?" Nothing asked knowing full well that Darkwings didn't smoke. Judas thought something was suspicious from the beginning and left without asking any questions, Nothing left right behind him. Darkwings secretly sent a psychic message to both Nothing and Judas as they exited.
"So how is your family Jay?" Darkwings asked. "Your wife and son doing ok?"
"They-they're doing pretty good…" Jay stuttered. "Hold still… I am almost done."
"I know you are…" Darkwings said as he felt the shaving blade slowly getting closer to his throat. Suddenly gun shots were heard in the back of the building and curses were shouted out.
Nothing kicked in the door and came in from the back of the barbershop with his gun drawn. The two men who were waiting in the seats behind Darkwings jumped on to their feet, drew guns out, and started firing at Nothing and Darkwings.
Darkwings snatched the razor from Jay's hand and charged at both the men. Darkwings slashed one of the men's throats causing him to drop to the floor and bleed to death. The other Darkwings grabbed from behind and held him by his throat.
"Drop the gun and grab some sky!" Darkwings ordered. The man immediately complied. "Now…" Darkwings said pulling the man and forcing him down into the barber chair.
"Nothing, how are the other barbers and Jay's family?" Darkwings asked Nothing.
"They're alright, a little shaken up but they'll live" Nothing said.
"Where you hit?" Darkwings asked.
"In the back of the leg…" Nothing said as he winced in pain. "It stings but it still feels kind of cool."
"Awesome" Darkwings said. "Now back to you…" Darkwings said to the man in the chair. He held the razor up to the man's cheek. "Pauley sent you huh? He had you hold the Jay's family and barber staff hostage so he'd slit my throat huh?"
"I…I didn't…." the man tried to speak. Nothing stood by the chair and said,
"Don't bother lying; Darkwings is all up in your brain dude." Darkwings picked up some shaving lather and spread it over the guy's face.
"Have you ever seen Sweeney Todd?" Darkwings asked him as he started shaving him. The man started begging,
"No, please no…" Darkwings started singing,
"Pretty women…fascinating, sipping coffee, dancinnngggg… pretty women sitting at the window, standing on the stair, something in them cheeerssss the air…pretty women." Jay's family and coworkers walked in through the back. "Oh good, you are all here. I want to show something. It's going to be your newest special here at the shop. 'The Darkwings Special' a very special shave."
Darkwings pressed hard and dragged the blade across the man's throat, slashing it open. He fell to the floor and clutched at his throat, trying to keep the blood in, but died within a minute.
"Now…you…" Darkwings said pointing the razor at Jay. "You…tried to kill me."
"I just wanted to protect my family" Jay calmly said unflinching.
"Oh I know" Darkwings said. He grabbed Jay's chin and held a razor to his cheek. "That is the only reason you aren't dead right now." Darkwings raised the blade and slashed Jay across his cheek. Jay fell to the floor and clutched his cheek.
"Jay! Daddy!" cried Jay's wife and his daughter. "You bastard!" Mrs. Sharp screamed at Darkwings.
"I'm ok" Jay said reassuringly to his wife. "He only knicked me. It is not as bad as it looks." Darkwings squatted down next to Jay and held his face. He traced the wound across his cheek with his index finger, healing it shut. The bleeding stopped but the cut would leave a permanent scar.
"That is the only warning you are going to get from me" Darkwings said. "Anyone who would slit my throat, my brothers', or any of my friends is my enemy. Don't be my enemy Jay. You work hard and you run a decent business; I like that. I'm moving your business closer to my tower, your family will live in one of the buildings surrounding it, they will be safer there." Darkwings turned to leave with Nothing and Judas behind him.
"Thanks" Jay said. "And I am sorry. I really didn't want to do it…." Darkwings stopped suddenly and turned around.
"I know Jay" he said. "And that wouldn't have done you much good even if you had. Check this out…" Darkwings raised the razor to his own throat and dragged it hard across his skin, cutting his own throat open. Mrs. Sharp shrieked as Darkwings's black blood bubbled out of his neck and he gurgled and choked on it. Judas and Nothing were unaffected and just watched. Just as quickly as he made the cut, the wound suddenly sealed up and healed completely.
"Pretty cool huh?" Darkwings joked as he dumped the razor into some disinfectant on the counter. "I'll see you later then Jay. Probably in three weeks for my next haircut."
"Yeah…I'll see you later" Jay said.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD At the Grocery Store DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Tsujido stopped by the grocery store earlier for some food and started a conversation with store owner's son, Akira. Darkwings, Judas, and Nothing walked in just as Tsujido was finishing a story.
"HAHAHA, So then…hahaha…we are all running out of the bank away from the cops and guess who's pants fall down while we're running? Darkwings ran bare-ass all the way to the get-away car!" Tsujido said trying to hold in his laughter. "Can you believe it? Gaston takes us to learn how to crack a safe and Darkwings loses his pants! HAHAHA."
"Yep, that is pretty funny" Akira said in his nonchalant uncaring tone. He reminded Darkwings of Cross. "Hey guys. What are you up to?" he asked.
"Here for the essentials Akira, you know chips, beer, and x-rated magazines" Judas said.
"Yeah, that sounds about right" Akira said. Akira took a magazine of the rack and handed it to Judas. "There's a chick in there with three boobs."
"How many butts does she have?" Judas said flipping through the book.
"Hey,hey,hey!" Akira's father shouted at Judas. "You buy first! A library this is not!" Akira's family originated from India before they came to Purgatory. When Akira's father stabbed a corrupt policeman who was demanding bribes from their store, they had to flee. So they came to Purgatory in hopes of a better life. Nehru's wife died later of sickness, leaving her husband and son by themselves. As always, Nehru saw a lot of prejudice so Akira was given a Japanese name to help him fit in. "You buy magazine now! No credit!"
"Relax Nehru, you know I am good for it" Judas said as he continued to read.
"Nehru Rana Kashmir Sabha Medvedev!" Nehru shouted pronouncing his entire name.
"Well damn!" Judas said. "No need to cuss at me you son of a bitch, at least throw in an 'infidel' or something so I get the general idea of what you're saying" Judas said knowing full well Nehru was saying his name.
"Stupid stupid stupid! Pissing me off, you are!" Nehru said as he smacked Judas on top of his head with the now rolled up x-rated magazine. Nehru took the magazine to the counter and rang it up for Judas.
Darkwings browsed through the store's inventory and found his favorite snack: rice cakes. His mother would give them to him as a snack and he developed a liking for them. He pulled off the wrapper and took a bite into one. As he chewed and enjoyed his snack he tasted something familiar in the air. The smell of…bloodlust.
Gunfire rang out and the glass windows of the store shattered as bullets flew through them. Judas dropped down to the floor and pulled Akira down with him. Tsujido and Nothing flipped over a 'samples' table and covered themselves with it. Darkwings popped the other rice cake into his mouth and finished eating it as bullets flew around him. He looked out the window to see five men armed with assault rifles.
"Hey Crow Family! Since you refuse to die the easy way, we're going to blow you away and give you five new assholes!" One of the men outside said as he reloaded his gun.
"Nehru! Akira! Are you ok?!" Tsujido shouted. Nehru appeared from behind the counter with a bloody shoulder and leg and he hobbled over to Akira.
"I'm ok" wheezed Nehru. "Get them" Judas peeked over the broken window. He pulled out his gun and shouted,
"You hear that you bastards! Nehru ain't dead, Nehru says, 'bring it on bitches!', so bring it!" Judas started shooting back at them. Nothing and Tsujido joined Judas and started firing back at them as well.
Darkwings was with Akira at Nehru's side. Darkwings examined the bullet wounds, the one in his leg was a simple scrape but the one in his shoulder was deep…and fatal.
"Make Akira…safe!" Nehru begged Darkwings. Nehru clutched onto Darkwings arm, "Make Akira…strong!" Darkwings nodded and Nehru's grip became weaker and weaker until he let go, fell on his back, and his eyes glazed over. Darkwings turned to the speechless Akira. He was trembling and his mouth hung open.
"You bastards…" mumbled Akira. "You BASTARDS!" he screamed as he went behind the counter and picked up his father's shotgun. "I Kill you!" he shouts as he fires out the window at the men. "I kill you all! I'll tear you limb from limb! *fires shotgun*" He continues marching toward the door firing. *blam**blam* "You like that?! You like that! They will never find you! *blam**blam* BECAUSE I AM GOING TO EAT EVERY SCRAP Of FLESH AND BONE!!" *blam**blam**blam*
"Yeah Akira!" Darkwings shouts. "YEAH AKIRA!!" he turned to his brothers and his assassin Nothing. "Akira shows us the way! Let's go!" Darkwings charged out the front door behind Akira as the continued blasting away at the five men as they hid behind the rubble of the torn down building across from the store.
"You just pressed the button on the whoop-ass machine boys!" Judas shouted. "Killing is my business and business is good!" The men across the street all ran out of bullets, Darkwings could hear all of their empty guns clicking.
"They're out guys! Go in and get them!" Darkwings ordered. All of them began reloading their guns when Akira shouted,
"NO! They're mine! Mine! MINE!" Akira picked up a piece of rusted re-bar and ran through the rubble swinging wildly at the unarmed men. He swatted one across his face and the others charged in on him. Akira swung away with seemingly wreck less abandon and wanton blood lust.
"Die! Die! Die! Die!" Akira shouted almost like a chant as he swung and whacked every single man to death. Even as all the men lay dead on the ground Akira kept hitting them over and over and over. Their blood splattered his face and body more and more after every swing. After Akira was done, none of them were recognizable, their faces all were smashed in and their brains and organs were strung all over the place. Akira stepped out of the rubble towards Darkwings still panting heavily and full of rage.
"Hahaha, it looks like we have a new soldier amongst us brothers!" Darkwings laughed. "Rikichi!"
"Rikichi?" Nothing asked. "What's that?"
"An old samurai movie character" Tsujido answered. "I think it fits. Don't you Judas?" Judas looked Akira up and down, noticing him completely drenched in blood and a face still twitching with anger.
"Yeah, I think it fits" he said. Darkwings wrapped an arm around Akira and told him,
"Come along brother Rikichi. We will give your father an honorable burial and then we are going to go and beat the rest of the Saints to death. Does that sound good?" Darkwings asked him. Akira/Rikichi rasped out,
"Yes…very good."
After they made a proper funeral fire for Nehru, the Crow Family gathered up all the food and useable tools from the store and went back home.
Halfway towards the tower a bloodied Richard came limping towards Darkwings.
"Richard!" Tsujido yelled as he tried to steady his friend. "What happened!?"
"They…took them." Richard wheezed. He spat out some blood and continued, "Danny and I took…Momoko and Kayo to…the park. The Saints came…they took Momoko and Kayo away. Danny and I chased them but…we got separated. Oh Danny…" Richard started to sob.
"They Saints have them!?" Darkwings shouted. "Damn! Richard, where did they go!?"
"They…went towards Main Street. They've barricaded themselves with overturned cars, hid inside of homes, and are scouting on top of roof tops."
"Shit!" swore Darkwings. He placed a hand on top of Richard's bleeding head and said, "None of your injuries are fatal. I'll heal them up quick but it is going to burn like hell." Darkwings sent his healing power shooting all through Richard. His cuts and scrapes scorched shut. Richard let out a roar of pain as Darkwings's power coursed through him. "That should be enough…" Darkwings told him. "Show us where you were last."
Richard lead them through every alley way, every twist and turn until they came to where he and Danny had split up.
"This is the place" Richard said. "Yep this is the place alright, I went down that alley and Danny went down th-" Richard stopped in his tracks and his face turned visibly pale. He walked slowly down the alley Danny had gone down. The others followed him. Richard turned towards a garbage dumpster and froze in his tracks. Darkwings looked around the dumpster to see a bruised, naked, dead Danny.
His body was completely pale except for all of the black and purple bruises around his body. He was completely stripped naked. The word 'queer' was etched into his chest and a broken pipe was jammed into his anus.
"Oh good lord…Danny" Richard said kneeling down and running a hand over Danny's face. "Oh man…"
"They're all dead Richard" Judas said. "Everyone one of the Saints are already dead…they just don't know it yet" he promised. E.O., Stripe, Battle, and Cross came running down the alleyway.
"We got here as soon as we could boss" E.O. said. "What's the trouble?" Darkwings motioned with a jerk of his head towards Danny's dead body. "Oh shit…what's the plan then?"
"Take that pipe out of Danny's ass" Darkwings ordered. "Then you, Stripe and Battle, take his body back to the tower and bring him down to the basement. Then you come find us, any Saints left alive after we get there I want to be destroyed."
"Come on Darkwings!" Battle yelled distraught. "Look at Danny! I want a piece of these guys too! By the time I get there you guys will have mutilated them all already! I want some revenge too man!" Stripe put a hand on Battle's shoulder and said,
"Darkwings told us to bring him back, so we're bringing him back."
"Why can't you do it!?" Battle asked.
"Cause this guy is a fucking body builder you idiot!" Stripe shouted with tears in his eyes. "I can't drag him back by myself. I am a scrawny five foot eight inches; it is a matter of physics! And even if I could do it alone I don't want to have to drag him on the ground. That's disrespectful. Now come on, let's get Danny out of here." Battle wiped his eyes and did as Stripe said.
The pulled the pipe out of him and carried him back, each supporting him with an arm around his shoulder. They looked like they were carrying home a drunk friend, but everyone there knew that Danny would never be waking up. Richard was still on his knees sobbing,
"Danny…oh Danny… what have they done to you…" Darkwings patted his shoulder.
"Come on Richard. Let's go and get them." He turned to the rest of his gang. "All of us…lets go rip of their heads and shit down their necks!!" Richard got off of his knees and roared in anger along with the rest of the gang.
"This way!" Richard screamed as he ran down the alley.
"He seems to have gotten his spirit back." Tsujido said.
"Revenge is good for your health brother" Judas said. "Let's go!"
The Crow Family ran down the alley towards Main Street everyone of them feeling fire in their lungs and venomous bloodlust running through their bodies. They reached their destination and far down the street they saw the barricade of overturned cars and old building debris.
"Pauley!" Darkwings shouted. "Pauley! Where are you? Where are you son of a bitch!?"
"Somebody call my name?" Pauley playfully yelled from down the street. Darkwings unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Pauley from over a block away.
"I'm going to skin you alive Pauley!" Darkwings shouted. "I saw what you did to Danny! I'm going to EAT YOUR SKIN!"
"Danny?" Pauley said playing ignorant. "Danny…Danny… oh yeah! Do you mean that guy we just killed?" Pauley laughed mockingly. "I remember him! I shot him in the ass! And I have some other people you might recognize!" Pauley whistled and Momoko and Kayo were shoved in front of Pauley. "Look familiar?"
"Daddy!" screamed the sobbing Momoko.
"Momoko!" screamed Darkwings.
"Oh so you do know them" laughed Pauley. "Well that's good. I think I should get to know them better, so I'm going to take these two inside for a bit. I'll see you later." Pauley waved goodbye to them and forced Kayo and Momoko into the building.
"No!" screamed Darkwings. He ran towards the barricade when all of the Saints started shooting at him. Darkwings used his mind bullets and shot them at as many Saints as possible. He managed to kill eight when he ran out. He ran back to the rest of his gang who were all behind an abandoned car reloading their guns.
"I don't have much power left…" Darkwings panted. "I have enough to put a shield up, but only for a few minutes. I am going to put the shield up, and we are going to run straight for the building Pauley is in. We'll fight them from there. They won't burn it down with their leader inside. Everyone got it?"
"Alright brother" Judas said. "Do you think you can put a shield around all of us for that long?" Darkwings looked back and saw the distance was about a mile long to the building.
"I think so." Darkwings said. "I am not positive though."
"I got another idea Darkwings" Nothing said. "Half of us go with you and the other half stay here and attack from this end. That way, we'll sandwich them and force them back towards each other."
"Alright" agreed Darkwings. "E.O., Richard, Tsujido, and I will make a run for Pauley. Judas, Rikichi, Cross, and Nothing, you all fight your way towards the building. Now let's go!"
E.O., Richard, and Tsujido crowded around Darkwings as he put up his psychic shield and all of them ran towards the building with Pauley in it. They ran through a gauntlet of gunfire, hundreds of bullets hit Darkwings's shield and bounced right off. The two sentries outside of Pauley's building fired over and over trying desperately to hit Darkwings. Tsujido jumped out from under the shield and sliced the two apart with his sword.
"E.O and Tsujido, you stay here and guard the entrance! Richard and I are going in!" Darkwings shouted. Darkwings charged into the building and Richard followed right behind him. Several Saints were inside the building, but none were a match for the rage of the two intruders. Darkwings drew his gun and shot every Saint that got in his way. Richard didn't require a gun, when he saw an enemy he charged him and slammed him into a wall breaking their necks and snapping their vertebrae.
At the top of the building in the last room on the floor Darkwings kicked in the door and entered along with Richard.
"Where are you Pauley?" Darkwings demanded. "Where are you!?" A whistle came from the next room. Darkwings ran through the door and saw Pauley with a gun to Momoko's head and a knife at Kayo's throat.
"We'll look who's come a courting" Pauley laughed. Darkwings and Richard drew their guns and pointed at Pauley. "Uh-uh-uh" Pauley said cocking his gun and moving his knife closer. "If you shoot me, I might twitch a muscle and blow this little girl's head off and knick this pretty bitch's throat." Darkwings gritted his teeth and threw down his gun, Richard did the same.
"Now I want you guys to empty out your pockets, nice and slowly" Pauley ordered. Darkwings complied and dropped his extra ammo, his wallet, his pocket watch, and many knives. "Dude, how many knives do you have!" Pauley said laughing. Darkwings pulled out his last knife, a particularly small switchblade knife. "Ooh. That looks intimidating, what do you do with that Darkwings? Cut your veggies?"
Darkwings smiled and raised the knife up to eye-length with Pauley. He said,
"Well this is a pretty special knife. It's really quite cool."
"Oh? What is it?" Pauley asked genuinely interested.
"It's a ballistic knife fool!" Darkwings hit a switch on the knife's hilt and the blade shot out and hit Pauley in the shoulder.
"AAAHHHHH" Pauley screamed. He dropped the gun and Momoko got up and ran to Darkwings. She ran behind him for safety. "Damn! Motherfuck that shit hurts!" Pauley wailed in pain. He grabbed a hold of Kayo and held the knife closer to her throat. Darkwings and Richard picked up their guns and aimed at Pauley's head. "Oh! You bitch!" Pauley screamed at Darkwings.
"Who's the bitch now, bitch?" Darkwings asked cocking his gun. Pauley jerked Kayo's head back, causing his knife to knick her throat, letting a drop of blood roll down her neck. "You made a big mistake coming back here Pauley." Darkwings said. "Not only did you kill a bunch of innocent people, but you also killed a goof friend of ours, Danny. That upset my friend here" Darkwings said motioning to Richard. "And when my friend gets upset, he stomps on people's spines."
"Well I still have your pretty little girlfriend here" Pauley said stroking Kayo's long cyan colored hair. "You've got a gun, I've got a hostage. So how do you think this is going to end?"
"I blow a hole in your face and then I go home and sleep like a baby" Darkwings said.
"You see, that doesn't work for me too well" Pauley said. "You kill me, you win. I kill you and your buddies kill me and you win. I kill your girlfriend and then you kill me and then you win. Anyway you look at it I am still dead. So I am thinking to myself 'how can you attain victory without your life?' Well I think I came up with a solution" Pauley said. "A way that you win but you still lose something."
Pauley smiled a big smile and then raised his knife and stabbed Kayo through her heart and then through her to the side. Darkwings ran forward to catch Kayo, while Pauley pushed Richard out of the way and ran out of the room. Darkwings looked at the knife wound in Kayo's chest. It looked deep to Darkwings. He placed his hand over the wound and tried to seal it shut.
"Momoko was worried…when we were taken" Kayo said. "I told her that you would come…she was so scared."
"He's going to suffer for every minute she was scared" Darkwings said as he continually tried to close up Kayo's wound.
"It's too deep…"Kayo said. "I know it is… please…don't waste your energy master." Kayo grabbed the bells at her collar and yanked them off. "Please keep these, master… Momoko will hear you then, and she won't be scared…please promise me" she begged.
"I promise I'll wear these" Darkwings said tying them to his ankle. "It'll be the sound of death coming to our enemies. Our enemies Kayo." Kayo raised Darkwings hand to her lips and kissed it just like she did the first time they met. Kayo laid her head back down, closed her eyes, coughed up blood, and died.
Richard moved towards Darkwings and said,
"I'll watch Momoko boss. You go get that bastard… and please…make him suffer" he said. Darkwings laid Kayo's body back down on the mattress and stood up. He ran a hand through Momoko's hair and nodded at Richard. He stormed out of the room and down the hall, his eyes glowing a bright blue.
Darkwings went out the window down the fire escape where Pauley went. The alley behind the house led all the way to a construction yard where Darkwings could smell Pauley.
"" Pauley called playfully. "Come out to plaaaaaayyyaaaaayyyyy."
"Where are you?!" Darkwings yelled.
"My brother spanked you as a child and I'll spank you now BITCH! You already forget that ass-whoopin? You must have Alzheimer's old man? You scared? Yeah you're scared aren't you? I can smell the bitch in you! Yep that's vintage bitch!" Pauley called.
"When you're done hiding and pissing yourself I have some ass-kicking for you!" Darkwings roared.
"Hey asshole!" Pauley yelled. "Up here!" Darkwings looked up at the crane and saw Pauley holding a high powered rivet gun. Darkwings run and tried to dive down as Pauley fired the gun repeatedly trying to nail Darkwings.
A rivet caught Darkwings's jacket and as he struggled to pull it off of him Pauley shot the rivet gun again and nailed his entire right arm to the wall.
"GRRRRRRAAAAAHHHH" Darkwings screamed as he tried to pull his arm free. His thick black blood flowed freely down his arm. Pauley laughed and sang and danced as he made his way down the crane and made his way to Darkwings. Occasionally he would try and hit Darkwings again with the gun, which Darkwings would manage to dodge by pure luck.
"Whoooooo's afraid of the big bad bird *Phhhwam!(rivet gun)*, the big bad bird *Phhhwam!*, the big bad bird *Phhwam!*, whoooo's afraid of the big bad black bird…." Pauley said as he raised the rivet gun between Darkwings's eyes. "….Not me…" Just as Pauley was about to pull the trigger he heard a cry go out by one of his men.
"Pauley! Help!" one of his men cried from around the building. Pauley looked back to where he heard the screams and then looked back at Darkwings. He grit his teeth and swore as he took his finger off of the trigger.
"Business before pleasure D.W.; I'll see you in a few minutes after I waste your friends and your pretty little girl" Pauley said as he pulled his handgun out of his pocket.
"Don't you dare!" Darkwings screamed at him. "Come back here! Shoot me! Come back here you nutcup! Shoot me! Do I have to paint a target on my ass?! Come back here and deal with me!"
"Oooooohhhh" Pauley said shaking in mock fear of Darkwings. "I'll be back in a few minutes, try not to bleed to death while I'm gone. And stop your squirming Darkwings; your death will be much quicker if you relax."
"Fuck you! Get back here Pauley! You touch my family and your death is going to be that much more painful! Get back here you needledick! You bugfucker! Your mother wears army boots!" Darkwings frantically swore at Pauley.
Pauley never looked back. He just laughed, flipped Darkwings off over his shoulder and kept on walking.
"RAAAAAUUGGHGHH!!!!" Darkwings screamed as he tried to pull his bleeding arm free. He used up all of his energy between healing Richard and Kayo and using his mind bullets on the Saints he had come across. His wings would do nothing and his tail wouldn't help anyway at all. He looked to his left arm and tried to focus. He remembered having a special item put in his arm years ago in Europe for just this occasion.
DDDDDDDDDDD Flashback DDDDDDDDDDDDD
"As you know Monsieur Darkwings…." The doctor explained to Darkwings. "Theez is not my typical procedure. You are asking me to do theez to your ahrm?" (I know the phony accent is a little lame, but cut me some slack. I only took German in high school.)
"The way I live, I might need it one day." Darkwings said.
"Alright, Alright. I will do theez but I must warn you, I don't usually add things to bones in my surgeries, I usually replace them." The doctor said. "Where did you get theez idea anyway?"
"I saw it on an old video game" Darkwings said as the doctor placed the gas mask on his face.
DDDDDDDDD Back to Darkwings DDDDDDDDD
Darkwings focus hard on his left arm using all of the muscle he had to activate the tool he needed. Darkwings could see the object pushing against his skin from the inside out. Darkwings felt like his arm was tearing itself apart and it was going to explode.
Finally he saw the bulge get larger and larger until finally *SHINK*. A collapsible blade unfolded in his arm and tore through his skin.
"Daddy!" Momoko screamed in the distance.
DDDDDDDDD Over with the rest of the Crow Family DDDDDDDDD
"Shit!" Battle swore as he hunkered behind some rubble. "We had them on the run before Pauley showed back up with that damn rivet gun. Those things are the size of walnuts and can shoot at us as fast as bullets, how in the hell are we going to beat that?" Battle asked his silent companion Cross.
Cross grinned and said,
"Secret weapon." Cross pulled a thick brown paper bag out of his Crow Family vest and tossed it high into the air, right above Pauley. Pauley shot at the bag a dozen times thinking it was a bomb, as the rivets punctured the bag, something brown fell out of the bag and landed right on Pauley's face.
"Ahhhhhh" Pauley screamed. "I've been hit!"
"UGGGHHHH" said one of the Saints. "That smells like hog vomit"
"No, it smells like something that died in an air vent" another said.
Pauley stopped screaming for moment, wiped the brown sludge off his face and sniffed it. "Ahhhhh! I have been hit, with shit! Oh lord it is in every orifice!"
The entire Crow Family looked on at Pauley and laughed until they couldn't stand.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Battle laughed. "You hit him with a big ass bag full of crap! HAHAHAHAHA" Battle stood up and looked over the pile of rubble long enough to shout, "Hey! You! Hippie! Go take a shower! HAHAHAHA!" Battle ducked just in time to miss being hit by a round of rivets. "HAHAHAHA, Cross. How does a head as small as yours hold so much genius?" Battle asked Cross.
"Just lucky I guess" Cross shrugged. "Is he out of rivets?" he asked Cross.
Tsujido heard Cross's question and lifted up the corpse of a dead Saint. He picked it up and threw it into Pauley's line of sight. Pauley shot off another round of rivets until the gun made a loud clicking sound.
"He's out." Tsujido said.
"Doesn't matter!" Pauley shouted across to the Crow Family. "I've got a trick or two of my own!" he signaled his subordinates and half a dozen Saints dragged a struggling Richard before Pauley and one had little Momoko by the hair. "Come out now or you can say goodbye to some more of your family." Pauley held his knife to Momoko's face. "Don't make me cut a bitch!" Pauley warned. He dragged the knife down from her right temple, across her nose, to her jaw on the left side of her face.
"OWWWWW" Momoko cried. "DAAAAADDDDDYYYY!" she cried loud for all of the Crow Family to hear. Everyone stood up and dropped their weapons.
"Good. You're not all fucking stupid like Darkwings" Pauley said. "You know when to do what you're told."
"You're fucking dead…" Judas said glaring at Pauley. "You have no idea how fucked you are right now. Darkwings and I are going to put you through hell. He's going to blow your brain all around the city, like a frickin mind grenade."
"Haha!" Pauley laughed. "Darkwings? He's dead! He's nailed to the wall! He isn't going anywhere, and you all are about to join him.
"No!" Momoko screamed. "NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO!" she stomped at Pauley's feet and bit at his hand and scratched at his arms. Everything she could to get revenge for her father. Pauley slapped her hard across her bloodied face. Momoko looked up to glare at Pauley when she turned her head and said with a joyous face, "Daddy!"
Pauley turned around slowly and saw a bloody, armless Darkwings with glowing bright blue eyes slowing walking towards him. His only arm had a blade coming out of his, on his other side, he only had a stump of an arm that was sliced off right below the shoulder.
"Shit!" Pauley said. "Get him!" he ordered his remaining seven Saints. All charged right at Darkwings, firing all bullets that they, had pulling out knives and swords, anything they thought could stop Darkwings.
Darkwings kept on walking as they charged. The bullets passed right through him and the knives pierced his flesh. Darkwings raised his left hand and slashed each Saint to death. Pauley realized he had no other choice, he charged Darkwings with his long hunting knife drawn.
Darkwings got madder and madder as he smelled the blood from the blade as it got closer. It was mixed with Kayo and Momoko's blood. When Pauley was within arm's length, Darkwings sliced off Pauley's hand and lifted him up by the throat.
"Shit…you must have the devil in you" Pauley said smiling. "Are you the guardian devil of this city?"
"No…" he said in an angry electrified whisper. "I am the angel Uriel; I'm here to judge you…" People started emerging from their houses after hearing no gunfire. A large crowd began to fill the street as they saw Darkwings dragging Pauley to an overturned pile of rubble, with the entire Crow Family behind him. Darkwings collapsed his arm blade back into its sheath between his radius and ulna (arm bones) and unsheathed the demon sword.
"Hahahaha! That's right Darkwings…" Pauley said. "Show these people what a monster you are… show them the price of defying you…" Darkwings started slicing skin and hacking limbs in the blink of an eye. Pauley laughed the entire time as Darkwings finished him. Darkwings finished by cutting off Pauley's head, he sheathed his sword, placed it on his back, and picked up Pauley's head.
"He was laughing in the end…" said Darkwings as his eyes still shone bright blue light. "He was laughing at me…AHHHHHHHHHH" Darkwings roared in frustration. Momoko rushed to his side.
"Daddy…" Darkwings looked down at here and his rage started to subside. "Is your arm ok?" Momoko asked as she touched the bloody stump where his right arm used to be.
"It will be fine Momoko" Darkwings told her as he threw away Pauley's head and took her hand. "I will grow a new one by tomorrow, and the one on the wall back there will dry up and wither in a day or so."
"What's the plan Darkwings?" Stripe asked as he helped Battle carry the injured Richard.
"We hold a proper ceremony for Kayo and Danny, cremate them, and then tomorrow, we're going to have a talk with the remaining clans in the Highlander territory" Darkwings said.
"Why talk with them?" Rikichi said. "I thought we were going to wipe them out."
"We need to find out who told Pauley where and when to go" Judas said. "Do you really think Pauley breezed into town and knew exactly where to try to assassinate us and who to try and extort into killing us? They knew from someone. The Highlanders send word to Pauley's gang so they would try and wipe us out before we do the same to them. They are responsible for Danny, Kayo, and Nehru's death. They are in for a surprise tomorrow" said Judas laughing.
"And I might just teach you all the technique that can win any battle" Tsujido said to his underlings.
"What is it?" E.O. asked leaning in closer.
"Well, I suppose I can tell you part of it now…" Tsujido said. "The secret is…what's that?" Tsujido asked pointing to his left. E.O. looked left and Tsujido suddenly slapped him lightly across the face. "Boom! You got schooled! The technique is the element of surprise! HAHAHA"
E.O. chased Tsujido around some more to everyone's amusement. Darkwings didn't laugh; all he could do was think of how he couldn't save Kayo. And as he carried her dead, bloody body in his arms. He felt no joy in their recent victory.
