Chapter 6: Face Off - Part 1: Thurston vs. Richard

.

"Ack!" Richard screamed in pain as Thurston shot him with his hunting rifle

"Be a good boy Richard," Thurston pointed his rifle at his forehead, "Or else you'll die here.". Richard twitched. Thurston whistled, calling his pet wolf, Richard let out a 'tch' after Thurston ordered his pet to keep an eye on him while he's going to look for something

Thurston grabbed something, threw it here and there. At least he found something that's useful, like potion or anything else. He was looking for a roll that Luciano told him to find.

-Flashback-

Luciano turned around as he heard a clicking sound on the door know behind him. There, Thurston came in and closed the door behind him. Luciano greeted him, "Well hello Thurston. I don't need any introductiion yes?"

Thurston replied with a sigh, "I know you already, just explain why you called me over."

"So, ya asked me to find this 'secret roll' of the Spades?" Luciano nodded with a smirk. "But why you asked me? Why won't you ask the others?" he continued

Luciano simply answered, "I will tell you when you get the roll for me. And if you're not satisfied with that, I'll give you a reward, only you." Thurston agreed and the negotiation ended.

-End of Flashback-

Thurston moved to the shelf that stood near a broken table. He scanned everything that is placed nicely in the shelf, until he found something that interest him. He picked the book, the title is "The Tales of 4 Kingdoms", he decided to take it until he heard Richard mumbling, "What are you up to? Since I'm a Joker I could kill you anytime hah!" Richard smirked, Thurston calmly answered, "And what if you're a Joker? You're still a little brat." He opened the book, trying to read but failed since the words are ancient, maybe Luciano could read this. Thurston closed the book, then continued, "Jokers merely don't exist, they're just a failed-to-be-country. You should be grateful since that man's grandfather kept you alive, but he disappeared now, maybe your time in here won't be long." Richard was taken away by his words

One minute later, Thurston and his pet smelled gun powder, "Shi—!" and then an explosion happened. Thurston was quickly enough to cover himself, his pet wolf too. Richard fell unconscious as something hit him on the back of his head.

"Well, well, what do we have here?"

A clicking sound of someone's boots on the wooden stairs filled the dark room, Thurston glared at the person, it's Lea, with a grenade in her right hand, while her left hand is on the waist.

"Ah, we haven't met before yes? Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Lea Zwingli, the Queen of Diamonds, nice to meet you." She said sweetly, which creeps Thurston out, "And you? I believe you're not in the Spades or the Clover, are you maybe belong to the Hearts?" She asked politely, but Thurston answered roughly, "I may be at some point, but in other point I may not."

Lea chuckled, "Is that so? Then it makes me easier to kill you!" She took out a pair of machine guns and shot Thurston. But since Thurston has experienced this, he easily dodged her shots. He almost can't escape the room, but he made it. Not to forget his pet wolf too. Lea ran to outside, almost tripping. She soon took out a sniper and aimed at him, BANG! Thurston got shot on the knee. While he tried to stand up, his pet wolf lured Lea to make some time for Thurston to get away, it worked, but his pet wolf died after Lea shot it 5 times (poor wolf..).

He managed to ran away, but soon his luck ran out.

He bumped to Yang and Bash, Lea quickly followed behind.

Not long after he was surronded, a voice came from behind, "My, my, can I join too? You all seem to have fun~"

Yang widened his eyes, "You-! What are you doing here?!"

A chuckle came out from the man's lips, "It seems that my queen is eager to have your head on his beloved tree, and I wanted to join the fun too~". Thurston fell to his knee, almost like bowing, "It's okay Thurston, your role ends here. Now, shall we start?"

Before they could start another fight, the Viking Trio plus Egil escaped from the castle, Oliver and Francois came out, they soon met eye-to-eye, face-to-face

Oliver saw the man along with his subordinates, "It's been a while, Luciano Vargas."

Luciano chuckled once again, his lips curved into a smirk, "It's nice to see you again brat. I was hoping I could come back with a little present for my Queen."

"Haha. Don't be so confident Vargas. Who said I would let you out from here alive?"

A/N: haha, I did this in one day haha. /shot/
