The World Has Fallen
Chapter 15
Atlas Wolves Convoy Leaving Anchorage, Alaska.
This convoy was an important one. Not only was it new weapons and tech from Crusader to the Atlas Wolves Militia, but also it was Lupe and his son Curtis. Lupe was beyond pissed, but he couldn't stay pissed forever. However, they did need to get this brand-new equipment to their HQ near the great mountain of Denali.
He has gone back from what he threatened to do to his son because he is a father and couldn't bring himself to do it and have the guilt of hurting his only son on his chest.
At this time, Lupe was driving his truck that was a simple Ford F-150 with some minor modifications, so it fits better in Alaska. He was also in the middle of the convoy and protected by his escorts, but it was only him and Curtis in the truck.
"I'm sorry for what I said in that call. I couldn't live with myself if I ever harmed you or lost you," Lupe told his son after a long moment of pure silence, with only the sounds of the wind and the surrounding vehicles.
Curtis only sat in silence. He was no longer in chains as his father removed them himself. He was free for all he knew after killing Dijak.
"I understand your fear of Dijak, now Rocky, and whoever the hell Valor is. The devil works in many ways, and I am convinced he possessed my soul and most definitely Redstone's during our time as some of the most wanted terrorists in the world. I was angered by the injustice of the canines, but then it was twisted, and he took advantage of my anger and I took it out on so many people. A lot of them were innocent people who didn't deserve death." Lupe explained to his son, who was now listening to his father. "With that, I was used to creating terror with other factions like Abstergo and entities. What you brought up about Dijak and Rocky is concerning as well, however. I might have not taken the same route as you did, but something along the lines."
"You would have killed them too?" Curtis looked to his father, his ears picking back up.
"If they presented a threat, yes. You also said that Chase and Everest would also kill them if they got out of control, right?"
"Yes." Curtis looked back down.
"You acted on emotion. Chase, Everest, myself, and your mother would have acted on logic. You were in a battle. You didn't think straight." Lupe then sighed, "As the devil spawn that Dijak is, he could be alive for all we know and probably wants you dead. Or, he has changed and doesn't want to kill you. That would be something."
Lupe was met with silence from his son but understood it. They were almost to the headquarters with all the new gear that Lupe was excited to equip his troops with. The same equipment is also headed to all his subgroups who are part of his organization. All new Crusader gear and weapons that were tested at Fort Jackson to replace the Abstergo gear that could malfunction, possibly on purpose to kill as many of Lupe's forces as possible. Lupe wasn't aware of the change that was coming. Once they get the new stuff, they are to destroy and/or hand over all their Abstergo gear to the CIA and ASF for them to study and possibly reverse engineer small parts of it if Crusader already didn't.
Realm of Hell
Deckard Crossfang reappeared back into Hell with his right front paw covering his right eye after being shot. Deckard saw that Sweetie was here, but Lucifer was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is he?" Deckard asked, referring to the missing King of Hell.
"I'm afraid Lucifer can no longer be involved, however he says that I can still help you," said Sweetie.
"Fine with me, but we have a problem," said Deckard.
"What happened… other than the fact that you got shot in the eye," said Sweetie.
"After I killed the Vice President, I found out that everyone in the club was either a wanted terrorist or a spy. So I killed everyone but Slasher, Storm, and Sylvia showed up and of course a fight broke out," said Deckard.
"What happened?" Asked Sweetie.
"Tore off Storm's left ear, ripped off Sylvia's entire right paw and right as I was about to interrogate them this task force from Crusader with weaponry and defensive tech unlike anything I have ever seen showed up. Their distraction allowed Slasher to shoot me point-blank range in the eye before escaping with Storm and Sylvia," Deckard explained.
"Did this task force see you?" Asked Sweetie.
"Yes, but I don't think any of them recognize me. However, I'm going to need another disguise because if I stay like this then it's going to be a problem explaining why I killed the VP and I don't need to be an internationally wanted fugitive," said Deckard.
"Do you have a preference on what you want to look like?" Asked Sweetie.
"Actually, you can decide, so give me your best shot," said Deckard.
"I'm going to make you regret those words," said Sweetie.
Sweetie led Deckard to a medical lab to take care of Deckard's eye and fix him up. Deckard was put into a capsule that would heal his wounded eye and fix him up, all nice and clean.
"Ready when you are," said Sweetie with a seductive smirk.
"Give me your best shot, Love," replied Deckard.
Sweetie typed a few buttons on the control panel to start up the capsule. The door to the capsule closed and started to glow between blood-red and black. Deckard could feel the wound on his eye healing and his fur changing on his body. A few minutes later, the machine stops and the capsule door opens, revealing Deckard's new body.
Deckard's body physique looked the same, however this time Deckard had pure white fur all over his body with hot pink color claws with matching hot pink color pads on the bottom of his paws. Deckard now has hot pink sclera eyes with black slit pupils and a long white tail with a sharp pointy quadrilateral barb tip. The tip of Deckard's tail was hot pink, with the rest of his tail having hot pink highlights throughout its length. The tips of the white fur tufts on his head, as well as the tip of his ears, were also hot pink. Finally, there was hot pink fur on his back in the shape of an inverted pentagram.
"Oh man, you are good lookin'," said Sweetie.
"Okay? So… um, what's with the hot pink?" Asked Deckard looking at his new fur color.
"Oh nothing, it's just that I find the hot pink looking rather well with your beautiful white fur. It makes you look cute and sexy," said Sweetie, with the last part being whispered into Deckard's left ear, making the demon wolf shudder.
"Well, since you think I look nice like this, I'll keep it this way. Consider me representing your memory with it," said Deckard.
Sweetie smiled at Deckard's comment, but something was bugging her. It was a thought that she has been thinking for a while deep within her mind and that thought has been slowly crawling to the front of her mind, and now she finally has to ask him.
"Hey, Deckard… There's something I want to ask you. When you return to Chase and the others, will you try to kill Curtis for what he did?" Asked Sweetie.
"Kill the kid… of course not! Now I'm not happy that he put me through this, but if our roles were reversed I probably would have done the same. Curtis is a pleasant kid, he just needs some guidance. I mean, during the majority of his life after he was born, Lupe, Artemis, Redstone, and everyone else around him were wanted terrorists, and now they're part of the good guys," said Deckard, "He just requires time to adjust to helping people instead of killing them, besides I have a good feeling about Curtis doing something big to help us all he needs is a push in the right direction."
"I honestly thought that you would go berserk and try to kill him," said Sweetie.
"The old me probably would have, but that's not who I am anymore. I made some horrific mistakes, mistakes I wish every single day and night that I could change them and make the right choice. Sometimes I wish that if I had parents who actually loved me when I was a pup and took care of me instead of growing up around soldiers of death, I would have turned out different," said Deckard.
"I wish I could change the things I've done too, but I guess there's no undoing what I have done," said Sweetie.
"Hey, Sweetie, what can you tell me about my new venom?" Asked Deckard.
"It's a deadly combo of venom of the Saw-scaled viper and the Black mamba," said Sweetie.
"A deadly combo," said Deckard.
"Just like us," said Sweetie.
Deckard and Sweetie embrace each other as they share another tender loving moment. Deckard got an idea and started to sing a song that they sang on their wedding day.
"To love the right,
Yet do so wrong.
To be the weak,
Yet burn to be so strong."
Sweetie smiled at her mate and joined in on singing the song.
"Go rider, although your ride has been through lies.
Go rider, see your soul through the devils eyes."
"If I could live my life again,
Would I live that life of sin?"
"Go rider, go ride into the night.
Go ride, now see your soul through a woman's eyes."
"I am sinner.
Hold my prayers up to the sun.
(Hold my prayers up to the sun)
I am sinner."
Heaven's closed for what I've done."
"What have I done? (What have I done?)
What have I done?"
"I am sinner. (I am sinner)
Hold my prayers up to the sun.
(Hold my prayers up to the sun)
I am sinner.
Heaven's closed for what I've done."
"Heaven's closed for what I've done."
Deckard and Sweetie smiled at each other as they kissed once again.
"We are probably the two biggest sinners to ever exist," said Sweetie.
"Oh, I agree, we are definitely the two biggest sinners to ever live," said Deckard.
Sweetie and Deckard continue to enjoy each other's company when Sweetie gets a notification on her phone. The female West Highland White Terrier looked at her phone and saw that it was from the King of Hell.
"What is it?" Deckard asked as he came over.
"Lucifer is granting you permission to return to your family and friends as long as you return the book to him when you get a hold of it," said Sweetie, "He has also proclaimed you as the Wolf of Anarchy."
"The name fits, and tell Lucifer I understand and that I thank him for giving me a second chance," said Deckard.
Sweetie nodded her head in understanding of what's happening, "I'm going to miss having you here with me, so I made you a new outfit to remember me by when we did our first shopping trip together. The outfit is made with super lightweight carbon fiber ballistic proof material."
"I'll enjoy it no matter what," said Deckard with a smile.
"I hope to see you soon," said Sweetie.
"I'll return when we put an end to all this shit, and I promise when it becomes my time to join you in Hell we'll spend our afterlife of sinners together and ride the highways of Hell together," said Deckard.
"And I'll be waiting for when that day comes, so until we meet again, my love," said Sweetie.
"Until we meet again, my love," said Deckard as a portal opened up and with one last kiss, Deckard fell backwards into the portal to return to the living world.
Nightwatcher's Bunker
Morning
Guardsmen and other soldiers from both Crusader and US Army were looking over the corpses, making sure the living were cared for and taken prisoner while the dead stayed dead. Others were pulling security and making sure that the battle was over by either capturing any stragglers and shooting those who resisted.
Chase, Everest, Fuchs, and Rosalie handed off Curtis to Atlas Wolves just moments before. Chase was conflicted, Curtis had no reason to shoot Dijak, or did he? Dijak is a demon now, not just part but full demon as well as Rocky and whoever this Valor person was. Just because they helped in the battle doesn't mean they are fully on their side.
Rocky and Dijak are friends, but what has happened to all of them has changed. Chase and Everest have super serum, which is a much more tame and controlled upgrade than Rocky and Dijak's demon upgrade. The only reason why Lupe is also part of the "Most powerful canines in the world club" is his influence and power over his own troops that even outnumber some countries' militaries. It is only a matter of time before Morgan sells the serum to Lupe and Artemis or even gives himself, Everest, and Robyn a boosted dose.
Speaking of Morgan, Robyn contacted them after they got their paws free of Curtis. She is to arrive to join them, as not only has she the same serum as them, although by accident. If she is to be useful, she needs to be trained by Chase in the forms of combat. She has stated she knows some basics as her new designs started to focus more on weapons than civilian technology. To Chase that is saying, not enough. There is going to have to be some serious work put into her if she or even Everest wish to be on his level.
Not only that, but Valor was also supposed to arrive soon by helicopter. Chase has to make a decision. One that he wished he never would have to make. Does he allow Rocky and Valor roam free, or does he have to lock them up not only for his safety but also their own and the world's? He'll have to interrogate Valor when he arrives but also wait for Robyn as if there is a vote, she could help break it.
Unknown Location
Storm and Sylvia were being treated for their wounds from their encounter with Deckard, and to say that the two of them were pissed off would be an understatement of the entire goddamn war. Storm and Sylvia were on a new level of pissed off, and their soldiers were so afraid that one wrong word or action would get them killed that they went to Slasher instead.
"I am going to kill that mother fucking asshole," said Storm as a medic was cleaning and bandaging his wound.
"You have your two brother's, let me have him," said Sylvia as her wound was being cleaned and stitched up, so a prosthetic paw could be placed on her.
"I officially hate Deckard just as much as my brothers," said Storm, who was twitching in agitation.
Storm and Sylvia continue to sulk as the medics continue to treat their wounds. Slasher later came in with his signature sharp grin on his face, with Storm and Sylvia looking at him with confused looks.
"What are you so happy about?" Sylvia asked, not liking the look that was on Slasher's face.
"Oh, nothing," said Slasher as he came over.
"Then what do you want, because as much as I want to kill my two brothers as quickly as possible, I want Deckard dead first," said Storm slamming his front left paw down onto a table beside him.
"I probably deserved it. Things need to change," said Sylvia, but Slasher took it in the way she wanted him to.
"I had a feeling you would want the demon dead, so I brought a little surprise for you two," said Slasher as he snapped his fingers and the doors opened with Ethan and Maria entering with five unknown canines.
"Storm and Sylvia, I would like you to meet Foxx, Glen, and Finn, the three sons of Elena Blackskull, as well as Raven and Eclipse Crossfang, the parents of Deckard, Rocky, and Valor," said Slasher.
Storm and Sylvia looked up in shock as they stood face-to-face with the parents of one of their most hated enemies. Storm started to growl while Sylvia pulled out a knife hidden within her collar.
"Give us a very good reason on why we shouldn't kill the two of them right now," said Storm, who was on the verge of attacking Raven and Eclipse, who seemed unfazed by the actions of Storm and Sylvia.
"I have more than one very good reason why you shouldn't kill them, and one of them is that they are the ones who have been running this whole thing from the beginning. They are the true leaders of the Blackgate Hellfire Club."
Sylvia spat at the two of them sheathing her knife, "I should have known. Fuck this. Abstergo is pulling all support from Russia, China, and after this, you. This has been nothing but a waste of time, effort, and money."
"What about my cartel?" Storm asked Sylvia.
"Abstergo is pulling out, period. No more support to the Royal Cartel, nothing to the BHC, and nothing more to the Russians and Chinese. We have bigger plans for the future, and all of you have shown that you are either idiotic with your attack on the Nightwatcher Bunker. Seriously, right to their front door. Right into the meat grinder that were tanks, trucks, grenades, machine guns, etc. Right into a trap." Sylvia explained. She then looked at the Abstergo medic that was attaching her new bionic paw custom-made for her if this sort of thing ever happened. She then looked at Raven and Eclipse, "If you say you have some grand plan to take over and install the new world order, I don't want to hear it. Because it is probably going to be a great plan, but there is one glaring issue."
"And what is that?" Slasher asked skeptically
"You have become reliant on my company's money and resources. Thanks to this war, I am losing money and workers by the hundreds of thousands. I am pulling all my resources and money away from you. All of you. There is nothing you can do to convince me otherwise. If you threaten me, then you seal your fate and make a new enemy. I am liquidating what is left and possibly salvageable. Backstabbing Lupe was a risk that has not played out well. More than likely that he has already replaced most of his equipment with Crusader Industries." Sylvia was serious. She was done, Abstergo was her company. Not only was she the representative, she was the CEO and was making an executive decision. She was pulling all funding from the BHC, RC, RU, and CCP. She was finished, she wanted no part. Furthermore, she was a simple company with big ambitions. Ambitions that could lead her to being either a member of the high class with Morgan, Lupe, Elon, and other high ranking officials on the wealth scale of the global economy. Or put her at the bottom of the food chain that is the economy. She wants to join Morgan at this point and his vision of complete corporate control over the UN. He has some nasty plans for every country but the United States, which he has helped come back to the global stage and the most powerful nation on the planet by far, from how this war has panned out.
"Kill me now, or curse me to oblivion, you have ten minutes to get all your shit out of my compound. Any attempt on any of my employees or my own life will be met with swift action by my new Praetorian Guards." Just as she finished, the cybernetic was finished and installed on her. She tapped something, and five heavily armed and armored men came in the door with their weapons raised at all the members in the room. They were Storm, Slasher, Eclipse, Raven, Foxx, Glen, Finn, and any other guards or personnel who was with them that was not an Abstergo employee. These men were fitted with some of the most modern equipment Sylvia had been saving for herself, but then there was an even bigger issue.
"I'm afraid Ms. Abstergo is correct," Said a voice coming from another doorway with ten more heavily armed guards but in white, gray, and red. Then Storm got a look of this new armor, the classic C with a sword on the top. "There is something new in this world, and that is the power of America. Sylvia finally realized it and has made the right decision." The voice came again. Then after all the guards came in the room, in a black overcoat and fedora hat was none other than Morgan Zanavich himself. They were at an underground Crusader Industries, how could they have been so ignorant to Sylvia's ploy.
"Abstergo is freezing assets and selling what is left to Crusader," Sylvia said as she came to Morgan's side, guarded by her guards. "How else did you think Crusader rose quickly as it did? By buying up shares of Abstergo on the international market. He just bought what was left. Mr. Zanavich here is now the richest man on the planet and the most powerful."
"What about killing Deckard? He probably still wants to kill you. You even said you wanted to," Slasher told Sylvia as she smiled at them all with a smirk that angered him.
"You misunderstood me. In a way, I wanted one of my paws ripped off, so I could have a cybernetic implant. Not as good as the serum that Morgan has stated that he will never share, but good enough for me. As for killing Deckard, everyone has a better plan to kill him than any of you. Hell, Lupe's son, Curtis, managed to send him to hell with a single silver bullet. Everest has poison claws and Chase has Reaper blades. Those are fail safes if he becomes out of control," Sylvia started looking at her cybernetic. "For him killing me, I will do what Lupe did and sell secrets of my own creations. Sell myself out, as that is the agreement I did with Mr. Zanavich."
"Face it Slasher, Storm. The time of cartels and new world orders hell-bent on the change of the world with bizarre ideas is over. Your legacy is nothing more than drugs, crime, and using China and Russia to your will. My legacy is how I became the genius I am in the Engineering field and now business. How I helped repair America to the massive, unmistakable superpower it is. And now, partnering with Abstergo, SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon Technologies forming the Big Five Corporations (BFC) has only guaranteed American grip on the world and unrestricted space and global dominance." Morgan explained, while making sure to block off every exit with his guards. "The ASF and Crusaders have only become the enforcers of this new emerging world of American power and liberty. Not by the threat of firing nukes and ending the world, but by taking out our competition which was Russia and China, now no longer. You are now fighting a war of attrition against an enemy that out produces you, out guns you, out numbers you, and has some of the best if not world-class training for soldiers that are now becoming widespread in the American Military as well as our European Allies Militaries."
Morgan finished saying, "I am no killer and believe that God will judge me at the end just as he will judge you. I am doing what I believe is right for my country, as Sylvia has lost hope in hers." He then turned and left with Sylvia by his side, guarded by their guards.
Just before they left, Sylvia said, "It's nothing personal. It's just business."
Just as soon as they arrived, Morgan and his guards were gone with Sylvia and her guards. The group had no time to take it in as a robotic voice came over the intercom.
"Facility Self Destruction activated. All personnel evacuate in five minutes."
"What? She said ten minutes," Storm shouted, getting off the medical table.
"They intentionally waited five minutes," Slasher said as he and the others rushed to get the heck out of this building before it exploded.
Slasher tapped an earpiece that was in his left ear and spoke in a language that was unknown to the others. Within moments a dark red portal opened up and Slasher, Storm, Ethan, Maria, Foxx, Glen, Finn, Raven, and Eclipse went through just as the underground facility came to a pile of rubble.
The nine of them emerge on a massive, large piece of land. The land had a massive fleet of super advance ships, as well as an airstrip with super advance fighter jets with advanced looking armor and weaponry. Ground vehicles of heavily weaponized tanks and large trucks were parked not too far away from the airstrip. Another part of the land had multiple underground missile tubes with small black rockets with a single white skull towards the top, Slasher had given these missiles the name Deathfire. Slasher and the others were arriving and overlooked where their massive army was working, training, and doing other stuff to prepare for the upcoming battle. However, these were no ordinary soldiers, they weren't even alive. Their army was entirely made up of demons of all shapes and sizes; most of them looked like massive large skeleton canines that were at least ten times bigger than the gray wolf, which is the largest canine species alive. There were even a few massive flying dragon type creatures.
"Thanks again for doing your part," said Raven as he looked towards Storm.
"It was my pleasure. The Royal Cartel served its purpose and if Sylvia waited for Slasher to explain our next course of action, she could have been a part of this. She would have also found out that there was a reason why I sent my men straight into the meat grinder," said Storm.
"The foolish bitch will pay dearly for her pathetic ignorance," said Eclipse.
"How is our boy doing?" Asked Slasher.
"Valor is following his part of the plan just as we planned out," said Raven.
"Excellent. At least part of our plan is still on track," said Slasher.
"ATTENTION, MY LOYAL ARMY!" Yelled Raven to his army below.
Everyone stopped working and looked towards Raven and Eclipse, the two canines that they have called their king and queen and soon to be supreme rulers of the new world.
"It is almost time for us to unleash our supreme might on the entire planet and wipe every single living creature on this planet from existence and reform it into a better one. We will show the world that it doesn't matter how advanced they make their technology or train their soldiers, everything that they love will be obliterated into nothing," said Raven.
The army down below started to chant and yell as they listened to their king and queen, waiting for their king to give his order.
"As soon as Valor informs us of the Book of Hell's location, we will unleash power upon the world that nobody could possibly imagine. However, it seems to me that there are a few people who see us as a joke, so let's give the world something to remember us by," said Eclipse as she pressed a red button.
Four Deathfire missiles shot out from the underground tubes and went straight towards their targets which were locked on to Camp Buehring, Camp Arifjan, Kuwait Navy Base / Camp Patriot, and the Ali Al Salem Air Base. All of them were near one another and within a matter of a few minutes the entire area was a charred wasteland of death and destruction.
"As you see, we can cause destruction on an unimaginable scale, and it will only be a matter of time before the Black World Order rises up and claims this world as its own," Raven said. The army yelled out as they started to get back to work and continue with their plans.
Slasher and the others went inside their Headquarters, which was a two thousand feet tall building, to discuss their next phase.
"Your missiles worked wonderfully, Slasher," said Eclipse.
"As much as I enjoy the fireworks, the world will be scrambling to figure out where the missiles came from. Even though you have this entire army and facility in camouflage and have the power to move it at will, this place won't be hidden forever," said Storm.
"Storm's right, on to business," said Raven, nodding towards Ethan and Maria.
Ethan and Maria took out three syringes filled with strange black liquid and ejected each needle into the necks of Foxx, Glen, and Finn. A quick surge of power flooded through their bodies as their form became demonic looking.
"You three have your assignment and you three know your target, correct?" Asked Storm.
"Yes, Mr. Hunter," the three replied in unison.
Foxx waved his front right paw in a circular motion, creating a portal and walking through, followed by his brothers.
White House. Oval Office.
The President of the United States of America was in a meeting with Morgan Zanavich discussing what will happen from now on. Changes to the military have been made and quickly implemented, as this was a time of war.
"I must warn you Mr. President, if what my men are saying are true then Dijak is most likely back and the government mole is gone for now. Until there is a new one," Morgan stated as the meeting was coming to a close.
"Thank you, Morgan. As of now, your military training and tactics are proving to be useful on the battlefield and have become a part of everyday training," the president said.
"I am glad. Years of Asymmetric warfare under the US's belt as well as the new weapons I have sold to the military have proven to make our military a true powerhouse that is unmatched," Morgan agreed, "I just hope it is enough to wipe the remains of these criminals from the face of the Earth."
"When this is over, how do you think the US, let alone the world, will adjust?" The President asked, "Will Crusader go back to producing civilian technology?"
"The plan is that Crusader, Abstergo, Lockheed Martin, SpaceX, and Raytheon Technologies will attack the solar system. Our goal is to, after this war, colonize the planets and mine the crap out of the asteroids. There are so many resources untouched and plenty of money to be made. With all of these companies now tied with the US, the Space Force can be a Space Police if you will and help regulate what is up there. In the far future there will be pirates and other civilians but until then, the resources are rich and the money richer. The US economy will explode, and we will be 100% self-sufficient with new reactors and less need for oil. When this war is over, and we take this plan in motion, oil will be as cheap as dirt. Every country will look to the US, and we will be the major power for eternity."
"That sounds like a great plan. The US will flourish if that works," the President said, smiling, liking the sound of that plan.
"It will work, Mr. President. I know it will," Morgan reassured.
Out of the blue, Secret Service agents barged into the room with devastating news. "Sir, we just suffered a major attack on our bases in Kuwait. Camp Buehring, Camp Arifjan, Kuwait Navy Base / Camp Patriot, and the Ali Al Salem Air Base have all been destroyed along with major parts of Kuwait City damaged or destroyed. We lost most personal and several million civilian casualties."
The President and Morgan stood up from the couches in the office, and the Secret Service briefed the two men. Yes this was a mostly closed door thing, but massive casualty events like this, after months of success, will get out to the public quickly.
The President read over the reports that came flooding in and made decisions as the commander and chief of the new and improved American Military, "I want air assets in the region in the air now. I want to know where those missiles came from."
"That's the problem sir, even with our new systems we can't figure it out at the moment. They had some kind of stealth tech," reported the agent.
"Abstergo Stealth coating," Morgan said out loud.
"I thought you said Abstergo was controlled." the President said, getting a bit heated.
"They are, Mr. President. That doesn't mean that the criminals behind this didn't have access to it before. Sylvia has completely purged all Abstergo research and copies from her systems and I have the blueprints to this stealth coating that we can now put on our already existing nuclear arsenal as well as non-nuclear," Morgan assured. He added, It might also help us if we dig deeper into the files, for there is also some sort of flaw with Sylvia's tech. Whether that was by intent or not, it can still prove useful."
"You think it was the criminals?" the agent asked.
"Why not Russia or China?" the President also asked.
"Russia and China are failing as well as collapsing as we speak. We are at the gates of Moscow. With Abstergo in my control, there is no major weapon supply, and they will start going dry on ammo and weapons the more we capture and destroy. This attack in question has Storm and Slasher written all over it." Morgan reasoned. He then looked to the President to get his approval for something and said, "The Royal Cartel, The BHC, and the Devil himself are our new enemy. This is no longer country vs. country but good vs. evil. God vs. Satan."
The President lowered his head. Not wanting to believe what is happening in the world. He then looked up to Morgan, nodding then saying, "You have permission to work on Project Almighty. If you believe, God will help us in our darkest hour."
Morgan nodded and left the room. Eager to get started on this new project. One that he already started. Weapons that kill demons, weapons that the Nightwatchers and the Atlas Wolves, already have, for they were the testers. Sulfur and Silver bullets and ungodly amounts of alcohol, will be weaponized on mass scale now for the American Military. The battle for Earth has begun.
White Hall, West Virginia
Deckard reappeared in the middle of nowhere and decided to teleport to one of his many hidden safe houses to grab new gear and a new truck. Deckard disappeared and quickly reappeared in his little safe house that was hidden deep within the backwoods of White Hall, West Virginia. Deckard took a deep breath as he was semi-mentally stable after everything he's been through, but just wanted everything to stop, so he could finally find his peace. Deckard realizes that he has spent basically his entire life dealing with false identity and chaos within the many battles and war zones that he was sent into during his time as a soldier, and after he became a demonic wolf, his battles and life-threatening missions have gotten more and more dangerous with each passing moment.
Deep within his mind, Deckard knew that he was never going to get his peace until he dies for real. The reborn Wolf of Anarchy was finally accepting that he was nothing but a monster created for the sole purpose to kill. Deckard pulled out the new outfit that Sweetie made for him and started to sing a song to himself as he geared up to return to his family.
"Ever since I could remember
Everything inside of me
Just wanted to fit in (oh, oh, oh, oh)
I was never one for pretenders
Everything I tried to be
Just wouldn't settle in (oh, oh, oh, oh)"
Deckard started to clean his fur and made sure that it was clean and cut short to the way he likes it.
"If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me"
Deckard got dressed in his new outfit, consisting of black tights with black skinny jeans that are ripped at the thighs. Deckard also put on black combat style boots on his hind paws and black fingerless gloves for his front paws. Next, Deckard put on a tight-fitting long sleeve shirt followed by a tight black casual cotton jacket with a stand collar and a black baseball style hat. Finally, Deckard then proceeded to put on a hot pink velvet choker color with a new silver tag, with the inside being black and the symbol being a red-color inverted pentagram.
"I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger"
Deckard took a look at himself in front of a mirror and had to admit that Sweetie picked out clothes that made him look very nice and, in other people's words, sexy. Deckard did this despite not fully understanding why Sweetie thought these were perfect clothes for him.
Can I clear my conscience
If I'm different from the rest
Do I have to run and hide? (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I never said that I want this
This burden came to me
And it's made its home inside (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Deckard grabbed a duffel bag and prepared to load up his new weapons that he got while he was down in Hell. The weapons included his two Taran Tactical Innovations STI Combat Master pistols, his 12 gauge Benelli M2 Super 90 that's customized by the Taran Tactical Innovations Ultimate 3 Gun Package. His Taran Tactical Innovations SIG-Sauer MPX Carbine that's fitted with a Trijicon MRO sight, Streamlight TLR-8 weapon light/laser module, TTI +11 base pad, and BCM adjustable stock. He also had his Snake Eye Tactical Karambit Knife and two Gerber Mark II Fixed Blade Knives.
If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
Once all of Deckard's weapons were loaded into his bag, Deckard went over to his truck, which was a militarized 2009 Hummer H3T. The truck had a roll cage in the interior, while the entire exterior was made up of a special lightweight carbon fiber ballistic proof metal.
Deckard proceeded to make sure the truck was all tuned up and all of its systems were working.
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
Deckard finally took a chain that was laying in the bed of the truck and tightly wrapped it in a crisscross pattern down the length of his tail. While Deckard swung his tail back and forth to make sure the chain was tightly secured, his tail started to rattle like a snake's tail.
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
Deckard finished his little song just as he was finishing putting his gear in his truck to head back to the Nightwatchers bunker. However, Deckard's phone went off, making the demon wolf groan in irritation. Deckard pulled out his phone and saw that an unknown number was trying to call him.
"Hello?" Asked Deckard as he answered the call.
"Greetings Deckard, it's been a long time, of course it hasn't really been that long," said a voice on the other end.
Deckard's eyes widened upon hearing the voice.

The helicopter carrying Valor finally arrived at the Nightwatcher's bunker, and to say that Valor was agitated would be an understatement. Valor knew that he was supposed to be a spy and eventually led The Nightwatchers and their allies into a trap. But he knew what would happen if he did what he was told, and he could not let that happen. Not now, or ever. Valor was in the middle of being examined by Rosalie with Everest, Fuchs, and four other human soldiers guarding him.
"Is there a reason why your heartbeat is beating so fast?" Asked Rosalie.
"I apologize, but I need to talk to your leader, Chase, as soon as possible," said Valor.
"Why are you so eager to talk to him?" Asked Everest with a stone-cold glare.
"Because what I have to say will be the difference between life and death," said Valor.
"I highly doubt that, so stop being so dramatic," said Everest with a spat.
"Everest, be cool," said Fuchs.
"Better listen to the arctic fox, pup. I know that we just met, but you obviously need to learn some respect," said Valor.
"Well, I can clearly see that you're related to Dijak and Rocky, by blood and by attitude," said Rosalie, looking at the results of the blood work as well as other sets of data she got from test results.
"Well, at least that answers parts of my questions," said a voice entering the room.
Everyone in the room turned to see Chase entering the room with Rocky behind him.
"However, I still have a lot of questions I need to ask you," said Chase.
"I understand, but what I have to say will only be said with you and the people you trust," said Valor.
"You four leave and one of you get Ripfang and Skyclaw and send them in here, please," said Chase.
"Yes, sir," said one of the human soldiers as he and the other three left, with Ripfang and Skyclaw entering a few minutes later.
"Skyclaw, I want you to record this conversation and Ripfang, I want you to tell me what Valor says is true or not," said Chase.
"Yes, sir," Ripfang and Skyclaw replied in unison.
Skyclaw started to record while Ripfang attached a wire to Valor and dimmed his eyes, so that when Valor told the truth they would flash green and when he lied they would flash red.
"Just to let you know that if you lie about anything, I will deck you into next week," said Everest.
"I look forward to it," said Valor.
"So tell me, Valor, where have you been all this time?" Asked Chase.
"That's kind of a long story and well let's just say that some of the stuff I'm about to spill is a real mind blower," said Valor.
"Well, we have lots of time and I highly doubt that anything will surprise me after what's happened so far," said Chase.
"Well…" Valor said before being cut off by the door opening.
"Sorry to interrupt this meeting, but Col. Hunter, Robyn has arrived," said the soldier stepping aside to let Robyn in.
"Thank you. Robyn, I'm glad you're able to join us," said Chase.
"The pleasures all mine, Col. Hunter. I take it that these are the famous Crossfang brothers that have caused quite the commotion lately?" Asked Robyn as she pointed to Rocky and Valor.
"Yep, this is Rocky and Valor," said Chase as he motioned to the one next to him and the one on the medical exam table respectively.
"I thought that one of their names was Dijak?" Asked Robyn.
"Unfortunately, Dijak is MIA after Curtis shot him, and he fell off the cliff outside," said Chase.
"We have yet to find his body or any trace of where he might be, so we have no way of knowing if he's alive or dead," said Fuchs.
"Wait! Dijak's not here, I thought he was sleeping somewhere in the base," said Valor.
"Sorry, but your brother isn't here right now," said Rosalie.
"Good riddance if you ask me," said Everest.
Rocky and Valor looked at Everest with wide eyes. Rocky letting out a snarl.
"Everest, I know that my brother has made a lot of mistakes lately, but let me inform you of this very clearly… my brother did not ask to be turned into some kind of monster. So instead of insulting our brother who's probably dead, why don't you think about how you will feel if someone you thought you could trust betrays you and turns you into a monster," growled Rocky.
"Alright that's enough. Rocky I know you're worried about your brother's well-being, hell I'm worried about him and believe me when I say this that I really hope Dijak's okay, but we need to get back to the topic at hand. So Valor, if you would please tell us your story," said Chase.
"Well, first of all, the reason nobody knew I existed is that I wasn't even born yet," said Valor.
Everyone in the room curled an eyebrow as they gave Valor a confused glare.
"How can that be possible? Ethan and Maria killed our parents before taking me and my brother," said Rocky.
"Were the bodies recovered or identified?" Asked Valor.
"We were told that the bodies were so badly burned, but we were able to get reports that it was Raven and Eclipse from their dental records," said Rocky.
"False," said Valor.
"Pardon?" Asked Rocky.
"Our parents faked their own deaths with the help of Ethan and Maria. They were given the book known as Hell's Gate, and apparently this book can show people the secrets of making the impossible become possible. Unfortunately, the longer the user uses the book, the more insane they become. Their minds become so messed up that they lose all grip on reality and become completely mad person with one fucked up mind. Raven and Maria knew that they might be locked up soon, so they brought Ethan and Maria into their plans and together the four of them created this whole shit storm that we're currently in," explained Valor.
"Okay, we're going to pause right here and get a few things clarified," said Chase. "Are you telling us that this dangerous weapon is a book of Hell?
"It's a book from Hell. The book was literally created from the deepest, darkest place in Hell," said Valor, "And from what I was heard from my parents only Dijak might be able to handle the book, because even with your super soldier serum flowing in your veins and in your blood, the dark power of the book will corrupt you and turn you into a sadistic maniac like it did with our parents."
"If that's the case, how will Dijak be able to handle it?" Asked Rosalie.
"Unlike me and Rocky, who are part demon, Dijak is a full demon. Since the book was created in Hell, the book might recognize Dijak as a being from Hell, therefore allowing the dark energy to flow through him without corrupting him," said Valor.
"That's a reasonable explanation," said Fuchs.
"If I may ask a question, how did your parents get a hold of something like this in the first place?" Asked Robyn.
Valor started to chuckle nervously, which gave him stares from the others, "How can I put this in a way where you believe me and don't freak out."
"Just tell us the whole truth," said Chase.
"Foremost, the book was uncovered when the original town of Adventure Bay was built. Because of the strange energy and radioactive signals that they got from the book, the book was locked away until the time was right to figure out what it was and where it came from. The book was given to them by a young man, who was overseeing the creation of a new top secret section of the CIA. When I say top secret, I mean top secret as in the deepest, darkest, horrifying illegal shit that the United States government doesn't want the public to ever find out about. After Raven, Eclipse, Ethan, and Maria were recruited into this new division, this man tasked them with finding out what this book does… and it went horribly wrong from there," Valor explained.
"Do you know who this man was and where he might be now?" Asked Rocky.
"That's the problem, he got into politics, and eventually he was elected as our current President of the United States," said Valor.
"WHAT!" Everyone, including Ripfang and Skyclaw, shouted.
Valor covered his ears with a groan, "You guys do realize I have sensitive ears because of my genetically demonic enhancements."
"Sorry, Valor, but are you absolutely sure?" Asked Chase.
"One hundred percent positive," said Valor, before taking his collar and ripping it off, revealing a small flat data chip. "This is evidence that our current President hasn't been completely honest with us."
Chase took the chip and inserted it into Ripfang's left front paw, who's eyes started to glow before displaying a bunch of data. Some were documents, others were photos, there were even one or two video files. A total of 5 terabytes worth of data was stored on it.
"I have a lot of data, however the most important pieces of data I found are from events that lead up to this point," said Valor. "According to these hidden payments that he made over the years he paid the Iranian terrorist that attacked Adventure Bay, he paid the Bulgarian terrorist that attacked Foggy bottom, and he also fabricated some shit that caused Lupe to defect to Russia all those years ago," said Valor.
"Not only that, the dates of the Adventure Bay terrorist attack by Iran happened three weeks after the operation that me, Stark and Dijak did in Iran," said Fuchs.
"A similar pattern happened a year later, according to this after Dijak and Scout rescued a bunch of captured CIA agents from Bulgaria four weeks later the terrorist attacks on Foggy Bottom happened," said Everest.
"So are you telling me that these past terrorist attacks that we suffered were acts of retribution because of what we did?" Asked Robyn.
"Who approved the ops for Iran and Bulgaria?" asked Chase.
"The CIA did for both of them, and it's not just Iran and Bulgaria that we need to look into, but apparently trouble seems to follow Dijak everywhere. All of Dijak's operations that he was a part of were operations that he was in command of, and they were all in highly dangerous places, Benghazi, Venezuela, Vietnam. There was even a solo operation where he was in order to infiltrate North Korea to assassinate an unknown target. Dijak's been responsible for either killing or arresting some high level wanted fugitives on Interpol's most wanted list," Fuchs explained.
"He was being tested, he was chosen from the moment he was born to become the demon wolf, to become the deadliest killer in this world. The reason that has happened is that the most powerful man of our Country made sure it happened," said Chase.
"That would explain the President's strange behavior with anything involving Dijak, the question is why is the President doing this," said Robyn.
"Because the President wants to wipe all of our enemies from this planet and recreate it with the United States of America as the country on top of everybody. As in, he wants everyone to be united under his rule," said Valor.
"What about the Vice President? What does he have to do with this that ended up with him getting killed?" Asked Rocky.
"Apparently, the Vice President was secretly planning a coup d'état to overthrow our government and turn America into a dictatorship country because he thinks America has gone soft with our freedom, so he decided to form a secret alliance with North Korea, and they were planning to end the war by using nuclear warheads to trigger a nuclear winter," said Valor.
"Holy shit! Our government has gone bananas," exclaimed Fuchs.
Chase turned and looked at Ripfang, whose eyes have been green the entire time, "Is there anything else that you need to say?"
"Other than the fact that my parents want me to lead you all into a trap, so they can kill every single one of you. And that they plan to wipe all of humanity and let this be a planet ruled by animals. That pretty much covers everything I know," said Valor.
"Well, I believe you, but I need everyone out except the Nightwatchers and Robyn," said Chase.
Rocky, Valor, Skyclaw, and Ripfang left while the four members of the Nightwatchers and Robyn stayed in the room.
"Alright, here's what's going to happen, I want the five of us to vote on whether we should let Rocky and Valor roam free, or lock them up," said Chase, "Everest?"
"I love Rocky with all my heart, he's like a brother to me just like Zuma, Rubble, and Tracker, but with everything that has happened I feel like we need to start making some tough decisions here. So I vote that we lock them up… until we figure out how to cure them or train them to have full control of their demonic forms," said Everest.
"Very well, Rosalie, your vote please," said Chase.
"I'm going to vote for them being able to roam free. They trust us with the fact that we will treat them no different from when they were normal pups, and if we lock them up, we'll be breaking that trust. And in this war, that's the last thing we need to do," said Rosalie.
Chase nodded his head, "That's understandable, Fuchs, your turn."
"I'm going to have to agree with Everest, and it's not because I don't like them, it's just that these are tough times and tough times call for tough decisions. Besides, I don't think it would be a wise idea to have them roam around with them having abilities that they have little to no control over," said Fuchs.
"A reasonable argument Fuchs, however I am personally going to vote for them to remain free. Our enemies probably have a large, unknown number of demonic warriors where we only have three, so they are essential to our support. I will however make sure that they are consistently watched around the clock to avoid any unwanted problem and if they start showing aggressive behavior then we'll lock them up," said Chase, "However before a decision can be made, Robyn I need your vote please."
"Well I hardly know any of the Crossfang brothers, however I have followed Dijak's legendary reputation and the stuff he did before he was turned into a demon was stuff that I have never seen before. It's like Dijak has the ability to keep going on and on, no matter how badly he gets hurt or how impossible the odds are. He has a passion to keep doing what is right, even though sometimes his methods can become a little unorthodox and illegal, but I see him as a valuable asset to our cause. As for Rocky, he has some serious intelligence that is vital to us, hell, in some ways he's probably the smartest out of all of us and Valor just spilled everything that he knew about the enemy. Not to mention that he also revealed some disturbing news about our government that we need to keep an eye out for. Unless there was a glitch in his systems, Ripfang's eyes were green the entire time Valor was giving us the information that he was able to secure. In simpler words, I vote for them to remain free," said Robyn.
"Very well, thank you all for your input on this matter, but with three votes to two votes, we will allow Rocky and Valor to remain free for now. Now that we've gotten this taken care of, let's move on to other important business that we have to take care of," said Chase.
"Yes, Sir," everyone else responded with a salute before walking out.
"Robyn, can you stay behind for a moment, so I can discuss some things with you?" Asked Chase.
"Of course Chase," Robyn responded, letting the door shut, leaving Chase and Robyn alone.
Unknown Location
Deckard still couldn't believe that he was doing this, one moment he was gearing up to return to the Nightwatcher's bunker. Now he's on his way to meet with someone who he tried to kill just a few hours ago. Deckard knew he was taking a huge risk, but if what this person said was true, then no way in hell was he going to pass this opportunity up.
Deckard continued to walk around the woods that were very dangerous, yet a secluded area, until his senses started to alert him of someone else's presence. Deckard turned around, and with one of his SAI RED pistols in his front paws, got up on his hind legs and pointed the gun at his canine visitor, who appeared from behind a tree.
"I see you're still on the top of your game after everything that has happened to you, Mr. Crossfang. Not to mention the zero fear that you have shown by coming here alone" said the mysterious canine.
"I'm an unpredictable individual, Sylvia. Besides, you asked me to come here saying that you could help me with my problem is kinda concerning considering I'm one of your problems," said Deckard.
"Luckily for you Deckard I have no intentions on killing or harming you, like I said I want to help you with the help of a very powerful individual," said Sylvia.
"You want to help me?" Asked Deckard, in disbelief.
"Yes, I do," said Sylvia.
"How can you help me and with whose help?" Deckard asked.
Sylvia just smiled as she motions with her cybernetic right paw for Deckard to follow her. Deckard, giving off a cold glare, decided to screw it and follow the female canine deeper into unknown territory. As Deckard followed Sylvia, the demonic wolf started to talk, wondering why Sylvia wanted to help him after they tried to kill one another on multiple occasions.
"So, why exactly do you want to help me? I mean, we are enemies, so is there a reason why you want to help me?" Asked Deckard.
Sylvia let out a sigh, "You're not the only one who was greatly affected when Sweetie died. She was like a sister to me, and Storm took her from me… from you."
"I apologize that I wasn't able to save her… I also apologize for ripping your paw off," said Deckard, as he looked at Sylvia's robotic paw with a sorrowful expression.
"Don't apologize for something you couldn't control, and as for my paw, I plan on having it surgically removed and replace it with this one. However, I never had the time because of what's been going on, therefore I should be thanking you for removing my paw for me, even though it was more painful," said Sylvia.
"I'm glad I could be of service to you, but mind telling me where we're going?" Asked Deckard.
Sylvia pushed a button on her robotic paw and a secret passageway opened up from the ground, revealing a set of stairs leading into a secret underground base. Sylvia began to walk down the stairs, followed by Deckard who kept his guard up just in case. Once Sylvia and Deckard got to the bottom of the stairs, they came to a locked door with a number key pad right next to it. Sylvia looked at Deckard, who politely turned around while Sylvia punched in the code. When the door was open, Sylvia led Deckard through the hallways until they came to a door that read Medical/Laboratory.
Sylvia pressed her robotic paw up to a paw scanner and after a beep with the screen turning green, the door slid open. Sylvia and Deckard enter the room and Deckard notices that a team of medical personnel along with a man in a suit were looking at a bunch of documents on a table. The man in the suit then notices Sylvia and Deckard entering the room.
"Will have to continue this discussion later, I need everyone out, please," said the man in the suit.
Once all the medical personnel left the room, Sylvia locked the door, but as she did, Deckard had pulled his SAI RED pistol and backed away from both of them. The man and Sylvia seemed unfazed by this, in fact they were smiling.
"His reflexes are amazing, I can kinda see why you became such a legend in the military world.
"My reflexes are only a small part of my long list of skills and abilities," said Deckard.
"I'm sure they are, but there's no need for any violent actions. I'm sure Sylvia told you that we want to help you," said the man
"She did, but she didn't tell me what you'll be helping me with, and besides before we even talk any further do you mind telling me your name?" Asked Deckard.
"Of course where are my manners, my name is Morgan Zanavich, and it is an honor to finally meet the legendary Deckard Crossfang face-to-face," said Morgan.
"Mr. Zanavich brought what was left of my company after I pulled out from helping the Blackgate Hellfire Club and the Royal Cartel. After the BHC launched those stealth missiles that destroyed your bases in Kuwait, Mr. Zanavich returned here to see if we can start developing a tracking system for their stealth missiles. If we can successfully track the missiles and pinpoint their location, we can shoot down any more missiles that they fire before they reach their targets," Sylvia explained.
"You created these stealth missiles, and you're telling me that you have no way to track them or disarm them?" Asked Deckard.
"Unfortunately, I never wanted these missiles to be tracked once they were fired. Now that they're in the paws of my enemies I have to work on figuring out how to track them, however I still have the blueprints of the stealth missiles, so it won't take long," said Sylvia.
"Okay… so, you two mind telling me why you want to help me so badly?" Asked Deckard.
Sylvia and Morgan looked at each other with smiles on their faces before walking off. Deckard looked at the two with a confused look before following them into another room. The room that they walked into was an operating room full of all types of surgical equipment.
"You brought me into an operating room?" Asked Deckard.
"Yep, we plan on getting rid of your demons," said Morgan.
"How?" Asked Deckard, not believing that these two could help him.
"With this," Sylvia said with a push of a button on her cybernetic paw.
A medium-size metal box started to rise up from a table, and Morgan motioned for Deckard to take a look inside. Deckard slowly walked over to the table and opened the box, and when he did, he felt the dark energy inside him pulse with happiness. Inside was the so-called book of Hell, and Deckard could feel the dark energy from him and from the book feed off each other. Deckard slammed the box closed and turned his head a full 180 with a sickening crack that disturbed both Morgan and Sylvia a tad bit.
"How in the seven deadly sins did you find this!?" Asked Deckard.
"Raven and Eclipse hid the book and tried to lock the information about its location in your mind along with your brothers, Rocky and Valor. However, we secretly dug it up from deep under Stonehenge," said Morgan.
"What were you guys doing at Stonehenge?" Asked Deckard.
"I was able to secretly uncover its location when I got a hold of some cryptid files from Slasher," said Sylvia.
"Don't worry, we knew about its powerful corruption energy. But with advanced biohazard suits and with us switching out our research team, we manage to prevent any harm to our staff while also gathering a large amount of data from the book," said Morgan.
"All the data we gathered was to create a cure for your demonic side and return you and your brothers to normal," said Sylvia.
"I can't fully be cured. When Curtis shot me, it ended up killing me and now a part of me will always be dead," said Deckard.
"I'm sure we can come up with something," said Morgan.
"I think I have an idea, but I need the book and absolute concentration… and most importantly complete silence," said Deckard.
Morgan and Sylvia stepped back and watched as Deckard's paws began to glow red as he touched the book. Deckard's eyes snapped open and let out a gasp as he felt his mind enter the book. Deckard looked around and saw that he was in a black void with a red haze to it. Suddenly, a large black shadow loomed over Deckard's form. Deckard, knowing who it was, bowed down before the king of hell.
"My King, I have a proposition for you," said Deckard.
"What is it that you wish to propose to me? I have already made it clear that I could no longer assist you in any way," said Lucifer.
"I want to make a new deal with you," said Deckard.
The shadow of Lucifer had a curious look on his face, "A new deal you say, very intriguing. Alright Deckard what do you have in mind."
