Hollywood What If Chapter 239
"Be careful, our target this time is a tough one."
[The Gunsmith talked to Wesley and informed him about the retired agent.]
[Wesley already had an idea about Bryan Mills' capabilities after reading every related information about him. After all, Bryan Mills was one of the targets that Marcus failed to kill. Implying how strong this person was.]
[Their team had four members this time. This was the second time they had to kill Bryan Mills.]
[Wesley's job was to protect The Gunsmith who was responsible for sniping the retired agent.]
"Did you know, we are not the only one who has a mission right now? I heard that Fox and The Repairman flew to Goa, India to kill someone. I don't know the specifics but I heard he's from the Treadstone."
[The Gunsmith looked at Wesley and chuckled.]
"Of course you don't know anything of what I said. I just want to tell you this, the world we are living in is not that simple."
"I understand."
[The Gunsmith looked at the sniping scope to check their target. Bryan Mills was peacefully sipping his coffee, oblivious to the fact that he was going to be sniped.]
[The Gunsmith touched the trigger, ready to pull it at any moment. But suddenly, Bryan Mills looked at his location with a piercing gaze.]
"Shit!"
[The Gunsmith immediately knew that the mission failed.]
"Let's leave this place."
"What? But I thought we were going to--"
[Wesley looked out the window and realized that their target was already missing.]
"Wesley, let's go! I already informed the others and they are going to leave--"
[Two gunshots reverberated and The Gunsmith stopped talking. He sprinted out of the building and Wesley followed him. Wesley thought that this mission wouldn't be hard but he was wrong.]
[The two reached the car and sped away from the scene. However, a certain guy stepped into the middle of the road.]
[Bryan Mills pulled a pistol and turned their car into a beehive.]
[The Gunsmith stepped on the gas pedal and successfully escaped the area.]
[Bryan Mills looked at the escaping car.]
"This shall end now."
[He knew that his family would be endangered if he didn't do something.]
...
...
...
[Some of the members of Treadstone were from The Fraternity. They already infiltrated the CIA and the higher-ups of the CIA had a connection with the High Table.]
[The Treadstone was a failure and The Fraternity participated in eliminating everyone who knew about it.]
[For that reason, Jason Bourne needed to die...]
"This is the reason why I hate people who have a strong sixth sense! How can he know that there's someone who wants to kill him? Is it because he has a lot of experience in assassination?"
[The Repairman cursed under his breath and jumped out of the window. Fox and him parted ways so that they had a higher chance of survival. Unfortunately for The Repairman, he became Jason Bourne's target.]
[Jason safely landed and followed him. The two exchanged bullets. Despite having an advantage in using guns, The Repairman realized that it was impossible to kill Jason. The guy was a veteran in this aspect, he was basically a superhuman.]
[In the end, The Repairman lost his life. Jason Bourne was not a simple man to belittle. Even though he lost his memories, his physical strength and intelligence never vanished. In the first place, Treadstone was a project to create killing machines. Training talented men and turning them into assassins who would clean the dirty deeds of the country.]
"Looks like they are not going to stop."
[Raizo, a man who was expected to be a Ninja, appeared after the aftermath. He looked at The Repairman who lost his life, recognizing the man.]
"Who are they? Why do they want to kill me?"
[Jason Bourne met Raizo back when he was running away from the CIA. Raizo helped his escape them.]
"They are called The Fraternity. An organization of hitmen who believed that they were doing good deeds by killing people that were written in textiles, well, I don't the specifics," [Raizo shrugged.]
"A few hundred years later, they joined the High Table and accepted assassination jobs from them. They are strong. Heavily specialized in using guns."
"Bending the trajectory of bullets?"
"Yeah."
"Where can I meet them?"
"... Are you being serious right now?"
[Raizo looked at the amnesiac guy. He didn't expect that he would ask something insane.]
"It's either I'm going to die, or they will. I have to kill them before they kill me."
...
...
...
[The two teams returned with more than half of their members missing. Only three people returned alive, Wesley, The Gunsmith, and Fox.]
[Sloan was disappointed but he already had an idea that this would be the outcome.]
[The High Table wanted Bryan Mills dead while Jason Bourne was part of the Treadstone who needed to die.]
"... We should pause our missions about killing Bryan Mills and Jason Bourne for now. For now, let's focus on Marcus."
[Sloan accepted that the two targets were hard to kill.]
[Hearing the name Marcus, Wesley Gibson became attentive. Marcus was the one who killed his father. Wesley wanted to take revenge. At last, he would get the chance to take his revenge.]
"We found that Marcus is going to this area, one of our members found him... He died after calling for help. I want you to check this place. Perhaps we will find clues about Marcus."
[Wesley nodded seriously. Even though he had broken ribs after escaping Bryan Mills, it didn't stop him from joining the group. He had to be part of it, he felt like it was his duty to avenge his father.]
Hollywood What If Chapter 240
[The group went to the location. They found nothing, as expected. Someone like Marcus was definitely meticulous.]
[Wesley decided to search for clues alone... Only to find Marcus waiting for him in an alley.]
[Wesley immediately pulled his gun out and shot at Marcus. Marcus shot at the same time and deflected his bullet.]
[Marcus tried to talk to Wesley but the guy had no intention of talking to him. The commotion caught the attention of the others.]
[The first person who arrived at the scene was The Exterminator, the one who taught Wesley about explosive rats.]
[Marcus used this chance to escape. He shot The Exterminator and killed him.]
[Wesley woke in the ice sauna. He realized that The Exterminator and his hatred towards Marcus further strengthened. He treats everyone in the Fraternity as his family. He didn't know who he was until The Fraternity took him in.]
"This is the bullet that Marcus used to kill The Exterminator. Unlike the last time, this bullet is traceable. I found the man who made this bullet. Sloan, I want to do this mission."
[Wesley put the bullet that killed The Exterminator on the table. Sloan checked the bullet and then turned to Fox.]
"Wesley, you are still not ready."
"No, I'm ready. You trained me for this, to kill Marcus. He killed one of our family, he needs to die. He killed my father, I have to kill him."
[Sloan stared at Wesley and nodded, agreeing to his decision.]
"Okay Wesley, this mission is yours. Track the maker of these bullets and ask him about Marcus."
[Wesley immediately left after that. Wasting no time.]
"Are you sure you want to leave him alone?"
[Fox asked Sloan.]
"Fox, this is your next mission."
[Sloan gave Fox the documents of her next target. In the picture was Wesley Gibson.]
"After he killed Marcus, I want you to kill him."
...
...
...
[Wesley found the bullet maker. The old man tried to attack Wesley but Fox showed up and helped Wesley subdued the man.]
"I don't know where Marcus is... But I can help you set up a meeting."
[The bullet maker called Marcus and announced that they would meet at the train station.]
[Wesley and Fox wait for the meeting. Watching the surroundings, waiting for Marcus to show up. To end this at last.]
[Yet this was actually a setup for Wesley and Fox. Marcus intentionally used a traceable bullet so that Wesley and the others would locate it. He used this moment to get a chance to talk to Wesley.]
[The old bullet maker started running away. Fox and Wesley followed the old man.]
[Suddenly, Wesley realized that Marcus was actually inside the train, looking at him.]
[Wesley stopped in his tracks and entered the train. Their target was Marcus, there was no reason to chase the old man.]
[Fox realized that Wesley entered the train but the train was already running. To follow the train, she used a car and chased after it.]
[Wesley and Marcus had a battle inside the train. Wesley realized that Marcus kept deflecting his bullets. Yet he never had the intention of hurting Wesley. Too bad, Wesley was consumed by revenge and didn't think about it.]
"Wesley, listen to me."
[Marcus tried to talk to Wesley but Fox almost shot from the outside. The woman was next to the train, her gun pointed at Marcus.]
[Fox crashed her car into the train, causing the train to fall into a steep canyon.]
[Half of the train fell into the canyon and Wesley almost fell as well. However, Marcus grabbed him, trying his best to save Wesley.]
[Wesley Gibson was drowned in revenge, he didn't hesitate to shoot Marcus even though he was trying to save him.]
[With the last remaining strength, Marcus pulled Wesley up and saved him.]
"Wesley..."
[Marcus kneeled down and coughed blood. Then Wesley punched him in the face and pointed his gun at him.]
"Sloan is... lying to you."
"You bastard, you killed my father."
"No Wesley... You're my son."
"What? Huh? What the fuck are you talking about? Answer me!?"
[Wesley was stunned and asked the man but Marcus was already dead. His last breath ended after he saved his son.]
[A few seconds later, Fox showed up. Her head was bleeding but she seemed fine, at least better than Wesley who was confused and shocked.]
"Is it true? That Marcus is my father?"
"Yes."
"... Why?"
"We use you. Because you're the only one he will never kill."
[Wesley realized that Fox was going to kill him. He shot the window and escaped together with the dead body of his father. Fox shoot at them but Wesley already escaped.]
[Wesley and Marcus fell into the canyon and dropped into the flowing river.]
...
...
...
[Sloan was waiting for the results. When Fox returned to the textile factory with a smirk, he knew that the problem was not over.]
"We taught him so well."
[Fox said and left Sloan contemplating.]
...
...
...
"Gaa--hhaa--!"
[Wesley gasped as he sat up in the tub filled with ice. He was gasping for air as he looked around. He didn't recognize this place.]
[He weakly stood up and left the bathtub. He found the old bullet maker but he was talking to someone. There was a person who had shoulder-length black hair and a beard.]
"What... What is happening?"
[He asked and looked at the two.]
"I'm John Wick, I'm your father's friend."
[Wesley was still processing the situation so he just nodded.]
Hollywood What If Chapter 241
[Wesley Gibson was still shocked about the truth. John Wick told the truth about Marcus and how The Fraternity betrayed Marcus.]
"Marcus wants to live a peaceful life but The Fraternity doesn't want that, so they try to kill him."
"The Fraternity tried to kill you, Wesley, but your father did his best to protect you."
[Wesley looked out at the window and he realized that this house was only next to his house. Meaning, Marcus was actually living close to him.]
"You're father wants you to live a peaceful life."
"I can't... Not after this."
[Wesley stared at the bearded man. His life in The Fraternity was short but he knew that this bearded man was strong.]
"I want to take revenge. Sloan deserves to die."
"... I know you will say that."
[John Wick sighed. He expected this outcome. Wesley was already tainted by the hidden side of the world and it was impossible for him to leave.]
[Marcus saved John Wick last time and he had to do his part. John Wick already had a conversation with Marcus. Marcus told him that the Fraternity was acting strange and he asked John Wick for a favor.]
"I contacted some people working for the High Table. Apparently, they didn't know that The Fraternity groomed some members and infiltrated the CIA, to be precise, the Treadstone. High Table wants to keep their status but The Fraternity endangered them."
[This was the reason why The Fraternity was adamant in killing everyone related to the Treadstone.]
"I know that I can't stop you, but I want you to calm down and think about it clearly. It's not that easy to destroy the Fraternity."
"My decision will not change."
"Then... You should wait for a few days. I know someone who can help us."
"Us?"
"That's right. Marcus is my friend and he saved me. I'm going to return the favor. From the looks of it, the High Table will not intervene after what the Fraternity did."
[John Wick tossed a golden coin to Wesley and the young man caught it.]
"Use that to gather explosives. You know where to find rats, right?"
"... I know where to find them."
...
...
...
[A few days later, two people entered an abandoned building. They were Jason Bourne and Raizo. In the building, Wesley Gibson and John Wick were waiting for their arrival.]
"What's the plan?"
[Raizo trust John Wick. As for Jason Bourne, he discerned that the people in the building were not that simple, especially the old man.]
"Simple, we are going to smash the door and go there. Ending this all at once."
[What they didn't know was that there was a person who had the same intention as them. Bryan Mills found the location of the Fraternity after intensive research.]
[The D-Day arrived and the group started their plan. A huge truck crashed into the textile factory and thousands of rats infested the factory.]
[This was the welcome gesture. Once the rats spread around, the detonation happened and destroyed the building.]
[Bryan Mills who was currently looking from apar was a bit shocked as he realized that his mission was going to be taken by others. As a veteran agent, Bryan knew how to use sniper rifles... It was funny that he was the one who was going to snipe them this time. But unlike last time, Bryan Mills would never miss. He set up his rifle and started helping the unknown group.]
[The team assembled and started the riot. Wesley and the others had their respective enemies, they were strong but the protagonists were far stronger.]
[Wesley found the Sloan and Fox, together with the Fraternity members whom he thought was his family.]
"Sloan lied to you, code in the textile cloth was fake! He just used you to kill people, like hired hitmen."
[Some of them faltered when they heard Wesley's confession. Fox stared at Sloan, her gun still raised.]
"Is it true?"
"Everyone of you, all of your names came out the textile cloth, but I saved you."
"..."
[The members argued and didn't know who to believe. In the end, the Fraternity members bend the trajectory of their bullets and kill everyone in the circle. Fox lost her life.]
[The battle ended after that but Sloan successfully escaped.]
"Sloan--!!!"
[Wesley screamed at the top of his lungs. The person he wanted to kill was gone.]
...
...
...
[A few months later, the stuff about the Fraternity gradually disappeared. Just as John Wick said, the High Table excommunicated the Fraternity and ended every business related to it.]
[A young office worker searched for his name and the incident about the Metropolitan Building and the textile factory.]
"Wesley, you thought this was over. Still trying to figure out who you are."
[Sloan pointed his gun at the office worker. The office worker turned around and showed his face... He was not Wesley. Sloan realized that he had fallen for a trap. He looked down and found that he was stepping on an X-mark. The office worker was just a decoy.]
"Oh fuck--"
[The bullet traveled from the house, hitting the beer can of his friend, going through the hole of the donut that Wesley's fat boss was going to eat until it reached Sloan's skull.]
[Wesley looked at the camera and said.]
"What the fuck have done lately?"
...
...
...
"Woohoo!!"
The applause from the audience was endless as the ending credits rolled. All of them had a standing ovation, throwing cheers and support for the movie.
"... Damn."
Even Harrison Ford cursed under his breath, clapping his hands. He realized that the movie was very entertaining. He had a disguise to make sure that none of the people would recognize him. He was interested in the movie, and curious how the performance would be.
In the middle of the movie, Harrison Ford could not help about the what-ifs.
'What if I lowered my salary and agreed to sign a trilogy and multiple cameos contract... What if I'd got the role of John Wick.'
The enthusiasm around him was flooding, and the veteran could not think of the future that he would never see.
[Yeah, I agree with you guys, the summary is quite long. This will be the first and the last time I'll do this. I'm going to make a poll in the morning about the future projects that Kazir will make. I want Kazir to try a different genre and I'm curious about your opinion on that.]
