So here's Chapter 2. I hope you're enjoying the story so far.
The trio just make it to the desert. Jason and Black Star just look up at the night sky and think for the moment.
"What are you thinking about, Jason?" Black Star asked.
"My past." Said Jason.
"Is it still bothering you?" Tsubaki asked.
"Yeah, sort of. I regret doing it, but I can't just go to the Northeast and fix everything I've done."
Jason's eye starts to twitch.
"You mentioned you were bullied, is that why your eye twitches?"
"Not only that, but got beat up. This was before I had the power of lightning and before I could transform into a weapon."
"That doesn't make sense." Said Black Star. Jason has a surprised look on his face. "You were either born a weapon or you're not, what's the story here?"
"I guess I am a weapon but just didn't know until I was angry enough to murder everyone I knew."
"I guess that makes sense."
A VTOL is seen from a distance. "What the hell is that?" Black Star asked.
"I don't know, but get ready." Said Jason.
His forearms turn into blades as he and Black Star get tensed about the VTOL. It lands and out comes the Outlaws with Section and Harper.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?!" Jason yelled.
The team points their guns at Black Star and Jason.
"Put your weapons away, we don't mean any trouble." Said Spectre. He then takes off his glasses and stares at Jason. Jason does the same to Spectre. His blades transforms back into forearms as the two inspect each other.
"You look exactly like me when I was 18!" Said Spectre.
"Oh, my God, you look exactly like me 10 or 20 years later!" Said Jason.
Tsubaki takes a closer look at Spectre. "So this is what Jason will look like in 10 or 20 years?" She asked. "Hot."
Jason looks back to Tsubaki in a surprised look. Spectre does the same. "So I take it this is your girlfriend?"
"Where are my manners? Um… May I ask who you all are?"
"Mike Harper."
"Omar Martinez."
"Josh Brown."
"Lt. Commander David Mason."
"And I'm Lt. Commander Jason Shepherd. What are your names?"
"My name is also Jason Shepherd. This is Black Star and this is my girlfriend Tsubaki."
"Okay, I've totally seen this somewhere before." Omar let out.
"Alright, but to avoid confusion, call me by my callsign, Spectre."
"Okay, Spectre. What are you guys doing here in Death City anyway?" Jason asked.
"We were called here by callsign 'Grim Reaper'." Spectre replied.
"OH, you mean Lord Death!" Said Jason.
"Lord Death?" Spectre asked.
"That's the Grim Reaper." Black Star interrupted. "He's practically our God."
"I'm going to have to take you guys in tomorrow during school hours." Said Jason.
"Fair enough, but where the hell are we going to sleep?" Harper asked.
"Jeez, aren't you guys soldiers or something? Just sleep on the sand." Said Black Star.
"Meet me at the top of the city tomorrow, that's where the Death Weapon Meister Academy is. That's where Lord Death is." Said Jason.
Harper was about to say something until Section calms him down. "Calm down, Harper. Alright, we'll sleep here and we'll meet you there tomorrow."
"Alright, we'll be heading home." Said Jason.
"Sleep tight in your damn beds, you bastards." Said Harper.
"Mike, calm down. We'll see you tomorrow, Jason." Said Spectre.
Jason, Tsubaki, and Black Star wave good night at the SEALs and head back to their apartments.
"What was that about, Tsubaki?" Black Star asked, wondering about earlier.
"What was what about?" She asked.
"About what I'll look like in about 10 or 20 years." Said Jason.
"Oh, well you're cute now, but in about that time just imagining what you would look like, I'll just die."
It was quite unlike Tsubaki to say that. "Typical boyfriend-girlfriend talk. I'm tired, I'll see you tomorrow, Jason." Said Black Star.
"See you tomorrow, Black Star. And I'll see you tomorrow as well Tsubaki."
"Sweet dreams!" Said Tsubaki as she kisses Jason and shuts the door.
'What could Lord Death want with these soldiers?' Jason thought. 'Is there a possible threat?'
