Story Notes:
If you're thinking, 'Where have all the reviews gone!? WTF happened?' well it was due to an error, you see when the change over happened from the old AGNPH to the new one happened, I had to add my Co-authors back on, seeing as it took them off for some unknown reason. Anyway, when that happened, 2 copies of this story were made. I tried to delete the one without co-authors but when I did, it also deleted the other one, leaving me with no copies of blood and love, so yeah, have to re-upload. This is a pain in the ass but I heard that there was a problem with the text in all the older stories that made the text all glitchy, so maybe it was for the best that I re-uploaded it. Fortunatly, 'Blood and love' over at FanFiction isn't fucked up so that should make things easier. Also I've now noticed theres a duplicate 'Blood and love' story floating around, why this has happened I have no idea but I'm gonna try get it deleted. Oh, hears the stats for the story before it got wiped out.Views: 26,000Rating: 4.5Reviews: 59Oh, disclaimer. Yeah, Pokemon, I don't own it and I don't intend to make a profit out of it. This was done just for fun.
The mall.
Louis and Reaper looked at the viper member on the floor of the car. "We should kill him now." Louis spat with hatred.
"Fucking agreed!" Bruce said as he pulled out his pistol and brought back the slide before pointing it at the viper's head.
"No, don't!" Owen quickly objected as he drove the car.
"Why the fuck not?" Bruce growled back.
"I didn't let the man who stabbed me live for no reason! He has information, and I'm going to get it!" Owen exclaimed as he tried his best to block out the pain he felt in his hand and drove one-handed.
Bruce reluctantly put away his gun and mumbled profanities as he leaned back in his chair.
Louis looked at the man that works for Silas, he thought about torturing him to get whatever information he had.
Richard held Tera's paw, he noticed that she had a look of shock on her face. "Tera, are you alright?" He asked softly.
Tera looked back over to him and answered him. "That man, He's wearing the same uniform..." Tera trailed off.
"The same uniform? What do you mean?" Richard confusedly asked.
"He's wearing the same uniform as the people who killed my clan!" Tera almost shouted with both anger and sadness in her voice as she glared with hatred at the man on the floor.
Her shouting caught the attention of the others in the car as well. Tera felt like both ripping the man on the floor apart and breaking down and crying. "T-they shouldn't just get away with that!"
Richard had never heard her this angry, he could see the hate in her face for the man on the car floor; she looked like she wanted to rip the man's throat out.
Richard wanted to calm her. "They won't, and neither will he. We're going to take them all down." Richard replied with forced confidence.
Tera looked back over to Richard, she knew that the possibility of taking them all down was very slim, but his words made her feel slightly better. "What if we can't stop them?" Tera asked as the hate in her voice slowly faded.
"Then we try and get most of them, they won't get away with this. I promise." Richard reassured as he wrapped one arm around her to make her feel safer.
Tera didn't want to say anymore, she just rested her head on Richard's shoulder as he gave her a comforting hug, but she kept an eye on the man on the car floor at all times.
Louis thought about the people around him, he realized that he knew nothing about the team or why they were joined this mission. Seeing the Lucario upset about losing her clan to Silas' men brought back bad memories for him.
He wanted to know a little more about the team, but he knew now wasn't the best time to do that.
Owen was still driving away from the hotel, and as he did, he couldn't help but wonder why the team was running down the corridor back in the hotel, and why Reaper's blades were covered in blood. "What happened back there?" Owen asked.
Louis was the one to answer his question. "A viper attacked us; he would have killed me if Reaper didn't gut him first." He stated as he looked down to Reaper's bloody blades.
"There was only one viper? No vipers tried to attack anybody else?" Owen questioned.
Reaper was the one to answer him. "No, your squad heard the man's screams, and they found us."
"That Scyther tore the man in fucking half!" Bruce added as he searched around in his bag for some whiskey. "Pull over." Bruce commanded as he grabbed his whiskey.
"Why?" Owen asked.
"Just fucking do it." Bruce stated tiredly.
Owen did as he said and looked back over to the drunken ex soldier. Bruce leaned over the chair he was sat on and said, "Show me your hand."
Owen could see the bottle of whiskey in Bruce's hand; he knew what was coming next.
Bruce smiled; he wanted to see just how well the agent could take pain. "This is going to hurt like fuck." Bruce said right before he poured the alcohol on Owen's bloody hand.
Owen clenched his teeth and breathed in as he stopped himself from shouting out again because of the pain he felt, the burning, stinging sensation he felt in his hand.
"Shit." He quietly whispered to himself as Bruce stopped pouring whiskey on his wound and drank the rest that remained in the bottle.
Bruce threw the empty bottle out of the smashed out window. "I've got to hand it to you agent guy, you can take some pain!" Bruce shouted out. Seeing the blood and the violence around him made him want to fight, it got him hyped up.
Owen took off his jacket to rip off the left sleeve off his dark blue T-shirt and used it to cover his wound, it wasn't much but it was better than nothing.
5 minutes later...
Owen had received orders from Rhea to bring the viper he now had in the back of the car to a meeting point just outside of Cerulean City. Owen noticed the concern in Rhea's voice when he told her about his hand; he was glad that she cared about him.
Kiara watched as Bruce drank even more alcohol. "We were just attacked and you're getting drunk again?" Kiara questioned to the drunk in front of her.
"You should drink; maybe it would make you less of a bitch." Bruce replied before he drank some more beer.
"You should stop drinking, it wouldn't make you any less of an ass but it would stop you from smelling like a brewery." Kiara angrily shot back.
"I hate you." Bruce spat as he drank a little more beer.
"I hate you too." Kiara said back.
Owen looked around as he drove his car through a dirt path; he soon saw what he was looking for. Owen stopped the car, near by was a black van. "Stay here." Owen told the others in the back of the car as he got out of the car and walked over to the black van. "One-seven-seven." Owen said just loud enough for the driver of that van to hear.
The driver didn't get out of the van, but three other armed men did. They wore black Kevlar vests over black tactical jackets, black combat trousers, boots as well as balaclavas and tactical helmets to hide their identities.
There were no emblems, insignias or dog tags on these men, agents never wore any. "He's in the back." Owen informed to the men carrying P90 sub-machine guns as he walked back over to the car and opened up the back door.
Nobody said anything as the armed men dragged the viper out of the car and into the back of the van. Everybody was relieved that the viper was out of the car, especially Owen and Tera.
Two of the armed men climbed into the back of the van, but one talked to Owen. "Your contact will give you any information we can get from him, good luck on your mission." The armed man said before climbing into the back with the other men and closing the doors behind him.
Owen got back into his car as the black van drove off; he let out a sigh before speaking to the group in the back. "It's not safe to stay in hotels anymore; we're going to have to start camping." Owen told the group in the back.
Bruce had to say something. "Yeah, because it's so much safer sleeping in a dark forest." Bruce said with sarcasm in his drunken voice.
"It is actually, Silas has viper operatives in nearly every city, and they won't be expecting us to be camping out in the forest." Owen said as he started up the car.
"Fan-fucking-tastic! Now I have to fiddle around with tents and shit. I need a drink." Bruce cussed as he searched around in his backpack again.
Kiara glared at him as he took out some beer and cracked open the can. "Another one? Don't you think you've drank enough?" Kiara asked him.
"Well I'm still conscious, so no." Bruce replied with a smirk before he took a big gulp of beer.
"Ugh, you're worthless. All you do is drink and swear." Kiara insulted as she frowned at the man in front of her.
"And you're an ice queen, make yourself useful and chill my drinks." Bruce said as he took another swig of beer.
Kiara had a devious smile on her face when Bruce said that, she could already imagine his face after she went through with her plan, but now wasn't the time. "In your dreams drunkard." Kiara snappily replied.
"And you say I'm worthless." Bruce responded before he drank what was left of his beer and tossed the can out of the smashed out window.
15 minutes later...
Everybody was now in the woods; they had found a good spot to camp for the night. Kiara looked for more berries seeing as she had no luck back around the hotel. Richard and Tera had managed to get their tent up, just as Louis and Reaper did.
But Bruce gave up before he even really started. "Screw it; I'm not used to pitching tents... hah, pitching tents." Bruce quietly chuckled to himself as he began searching in his backpack for more booze.
Richard and Tera climbed into their tent as soon as they set it up. They both lay on their sleeping bags as they looked into each other's eyes. Richard knew Tera was hurt when she saw that viper; he wanted to make sure she felt okay. "How are you feeling?" Richard asked.
"Better, now I'm alone with you." Tera said as she looked to the man she loves. She decided to tell him what was really on her mind while they were finally alone together.
"I don't want anything bad to happen to you; those men that went after Owen and the others could have easily have gone for us. I don't know what I would do if you got hurt, or... Worse." She stated the last part as she looked down to her sleeping bag and tried to hide the tears that she felt coming to her eyes.
"Hey, come here." Richard comforted as he gave Tera a hug and rubbed her back. "Don't worry; I can take care of both you, and myself. I promise." Richard whispered to her as he felt her paws on his back. Richard hoped he could live up to all these promises he made to her.
Tera buried her face into Richard's chest, she always felt safer and calmer when she did this. "Richard?" Tera quietly asked.
"Yes?" Richard replied.
"Thank you." Tera thanked as she rubbed his back.
"For what?" Richard asked.
"For everything, staying by me, protecting me... Loving me." Tera stated as she looked back up to Richard.
Richard looked deeply into her amazing crimson eyes before responding. "I should really be thanking you for that." Richard replied with a smile before kissing the end of her snout.
Tera blushed lightly and smiled as she cuddled back up to him.
Richard stroked her back as Tera's arms wrapped around him. "You've given me so much; I love you more than anything else in the world." Richard told her as his hands continued to stroke her soft fur.
Tera looked into Richard's eyes and said, "I love you too Richard." Before she embraced him with kisses.
Owen was in the car, he decided that sleeping in the car would be the best option for him. He looked down to his left hand which was now bandaged by the sleeve he tore off his shirt, the dark blue sleeve on his hand was now stained red with blood, but it was barely visible.
As Owen looked down to his hand, he knew that he wasn't going to be getting much sleep tonight. Every time he tried to close his eyes, he heard some noise or the pain he felt in his hand just kept him awake. Suddenly, he heard Rhea's voice calling inside his ear again. "Owen, are you there?"
Owen pressed the button on his earpiece to reply, he was glad that he was right handed. "Yeah, I'm here. If you're calling about the mission then its going to have to wait for now, the team is tired and I doubt they would be willing to go anywhere right now." Owen told her.
"I'm not calling about the mission; I'm calling to ask how you are." Rhea replied.
"I've been better. I can't move my fingers on my left hand properly because of the pain and right now it's stopping me from sleeping." Owen stated.
"I'm surprised you're even trying to get to sleep." Rhea told him
"I need to get some rest for this mission, even if it's just for an hour or two. I prefer to be wide awake when I'm getting shot at." Owen responded.
"And I thought you said you were going to be careful." Rhea snapped back.
"Yeah, but there has been a change of plans since then. How have you been anyway?" Owen asked as he tried to get comfortable in the driver's seat.
"Tired, calling hundreds of people and searching for information on people who are practically ghosts is hard work. Also worrying for you and your team isn't helping." Rhea added.
"Well it's nice to know you worry for us, I'd be a little concerned if you didn't." Owen stated with a little chuckle.
"I've got to go, I'd ask you to be careful but I think we both know that's not going to happen." Rhea informed.
"Bye." Owen said as he heard a little crackle through the earpiece. Owen closed his eyes and tried to get to sleep again, he hoped that he would hear Rhea's voice again soon, even if it was to talk about the mission.
Bruce still hadn't managed to make his tent, but he didn't care as he had already passed out on his sleeping bag outside.
Louis was in his tent alone. Reaper was busy keeping watch outside, after getting recruited on a team planning to take down Silas and getting attacked by the black vipers, he was more alert than ever.
11 AM...
The team had woken up and was now packing up their stuff, with the exception of Owen and Kiara. Owen was sat in the car waiting for the others; he had received information from Rhea on the whereabouts of Ryan Lexer.
Kiara was laughing at Bruce who packed up his stuff and stumbled over himself as he tried to put all his camping stuff in the back of the car.
"Fucking camping shit. Fucking vipers. Fucking bugs. I can kill vipers, but I can't kill all these fucking bugs!" Bruce shouted as he swatted at some of the mosquito like flies that seemed to follow him.
'They really like him; I bet it's all that alcohol he drinks.' Kiara thought to herself as she giggled at him now trying to punch the flies out of the air.
"Little fucking shits!" He shouted as he punched at the flies, a little smirk came to his face as he knocked them out of the air.
Louis and Reaper ignored the drunk that was lashing out at the flies; they packed up their camping stuff and shoved it all into the boot of the car.
Louis had been thinking about what he was going to do to Ryan when he found him, he had thought of ways to torture him but keep him alive, he wanted him to suffer the most painful death possible.
Richard and Tera packed away their stuff and shoved it all into the boot of the car. They then climbed into the back of the car and sat at their usual seats. Richard looked behind Louis and Reaper, over to Owen. "How's the hand?" Richard asked the tired agent.
"Still hurting, but thanks for asking." Owen replied as he heard the car door opening and saw Bruce and Kiara joining the others in the back. Owen started up the car and the engine soon revved to life.
Louis knew that if they were moving, then they had a plan, he had not forgotten that the agent said he would make his search for Ryan his first priority. "Do you know where Ryan is?" Louis asked.
"Yes." Owen answered as he drove the car one-handed once again.
"Where is he? I've searched everywhere for him and always come up with nothing!" Louis exclaimed as he remembered the countless slavers that he had tortured and killed to get information on Ryan, they all seemed so sure of their information, but their info was always wrong.
"I'm not surprised, he evaded us too... Until now. He has a completely different life from his slaver life, were not even sure if Ryan is his real name. He has been living right here in Kanto for over 20 years now, he uses the name Raymond Luther. He lives in Cerulean City; if we're lucky then we can get to him before the vipers inform him that we know his fake identity." Owen told him.
"If we get him, will you stop me from killing him?" Louis questioned.
Owen thought about it, Ryan was a close friend to Silas; he could have extremely valuable information. But he knew that if he stopped Louis from killing him, there was a good chance that he would walk away from the mission.
Owen was having a hard time deciding what he should do, but then he remembered that he assigned Richard to be the leader, he decided now was the time to let him lead the team. "That depends on what our team leader here says, what do you say Richard?" Owen asked.
Richard looked over to Owen before looking towards Louis. Richard had no idea who this Ryan guy was, or why he wanted him dead. He decided to ask about the man before he decided on anything else. "I need to know more about this man before I let you kill him." Richard said.
Louis sat forward and got ready to tell him why he wants him dead so much.
"He killed my family; he took my brother, and almost took me. He's a slaver, he mostly deals with humans, he's a sick fuck, and he deserves to die." Louis finished as he felt the rage inside him starting to rise just thinking about the man that almost took his life away.
Richard could see he was telling the truth, he didn't have a hard time deciding what he should let Louis do. "We won't stop you from doing whatever you want to do to him." Richard answered.
"Glad to hear it." Louis replied as he sat back in his seat, and thought about what he would do once he comes face to face with the man that destroyed his life when he was only 11 years old.
Reaper looked to his own claws as he idly rubbed them together, sharpening them.
5 Minutes later...
They had now arrived in Cerulean City, Owen driven down the streets of the city as he received directions from Rhea, listening to her directions until she told him to stop.
"He's in there." Rhea told him.
Owen looked to the big shopping mall that he stopped just outside of. "He's in the shopping mall?" Owen asked just to confirm what he was thinking.
"Yes, the man you're looking for is wearing a green shirt with a black Houndoom on the front of it, blue loose fitting jeans held up by a black leather belt and black sneakers. He has jet black hair and is about 6 foot. He also seems to be armed with a 9mm pistol, so be cautious if one of you plan to approach him." Rhea informed.
"Got it." Owen replied.
"I'll update you on his location in the mall as soon as you enter it." Rhea finished before Owen heard the familiar crackling sound again.
Owen looked back to the group in the car; he realized that a large group like this would be spotted easily, even in a crowd.
"Louis, you should come with me. We'll track down Ryan, my contact will tell me where he is and I'll take you to him. What ever you do to him is between you and him. Reaper should go with the others to avoid any unwanted attention, a Scyther sticks out in a crowd, that's how I found you." Owen told them.
Richard sat upright and asked, "And what are we going to do?"
"Go shopping, act casual. Here, this should be enough for all of you, split it up between yourselves and I'll find you all once Ryan has been dealt with." Owen stated as he handed Richard a large wad of cash.
Richard couldn't believe how much money Owen had on him.
Bruce's jaw almost dropped when he saw the cash, and then he began thinking about one thing, buying more vodka.
"Fuck yeah! This doesn't make up the fact that I have been shot at... Twice, but it's a damn good start!" Bruce yelled as he took his share of the cash.
Kiara looked over to Bruce who flicked through the cash in his hand, counting it. "Oh great, now the drunkard is going to get his refill!" Kiara insulted with a sigh.
Bruce had a smile on his face as he looked at Kiara's disappointed expression. "Damn right I am! Maybe I should also buy a gag to shut you up too." Bruce exclaimed with a chuckle.
"Try gagging me and I'll rip your head off!" Kiara growled back.
"I guess not even a warm joke can melt the ice queen, maybe I'll buy a portable radiator just to piss you off." Bruce added as he smirked.
"You don't need any help pissing me off, you're annoying enough already. Besides, I know you wouldn't buy something like that. You'd be way to busy buying more drinks to shove down your stupid throat." Kiara stated hatefully
"Screw you." Bruce spat angrily as he grabbed his backpack and exited the car. Richard, Tera and Reaper followed them to the massive mall. Owen and Louis disused what they should do about Ryan, how they should approach him, and how they should kill him.
After a few minutes, Richard and Tera soon found themselves looking through the shops of the mall. Richard didn't really like shopping, but it gave him some time to spend with Tera so he really didn't mind.
As they walked past some of the shops, Richard's eyes locked onto one shop window, a jewelry shop. Richard looked at all the shiny gold and silver bracelets, necklaces and rings. He then began thinking about the wedding, what kind of ring he should get her was on his mind. But then another question popped into his head.
'Wait, how is Tera going to wear a ring?' He thought as he looked to her paws. Richard then looked to the silver necklace around her neck. 'I suppose she could just wear it on that.' Richard thought to himself before he began looking at the rings in the shop window again.
Tera noticed that Richard was walking slower and slower, she then noticed that he was looking over to the jewelry shop. "Want to take a look in there?" Tera asked.
Richard snapped out of his thoughts and looked back over to Tera, he felt embarrassed once he realized she had seen him staring at wedding rings like a zombie. "Err, we don't have to if you don't want to." Richard nervously stuttered.
Tera felt like laughing at the sight of seeing Richard so nervous. "Come on, let's take a look." Tera smiled as she led him over to the jewelry shop.
As they both walked into the jewelry shop, a woman wearing a blue formal business suit approached Richard and asked, "Hello, how can I help you?"
Richard tried hard to remember that Pokemon and human relationships are illegal here.
"Well, I'm getting married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I was hoping that I could find a wedding ring that really shows how much I care about her." Richard stated as he struggled not to look behind him over to Tera to avoid any suspicion.
Tera felt happy hearing how much he cares about her; she could feel herself starting to blush.
"Well I'll see what we can find." The woman said as she went to find the special selection of rings.
After a couple of minutes of looking at rings, they came out of the shop. Richard had seen some nice rings, but nothing stood out. Richard's and Tera's attention soon turned to Kiara who was now walking towards them. "Hey, could you buy something for me?" Kiara asked.
"Sure, what do you want?" Richard asked.
"Err... Cheese." Kiara answered shyly.
Richard looked over to Tera to see her looking just as confused as he felt. "Cheese?" Richard repeated.
"Yeah, they have it at that shop over there but I can't hold the damn money for it!" Kiara complained as she looked down to her paws.
Richard had almost forgotten that she couldn't do much with her paws, "We'll buy it for ya, lead the way." Richard stated before Richard and Tera followed Kiara to another shop.
Kiara walked at quite a fast pace, almost breaking into a run as she navigated through the big shop full of shelves with food. Richard and Tera had to start jogging at one point just to keep up with her, until she stopped by one shelf and informed, "Here it is."
Richard picked up the block of cheese wrapped in see through plastic and read the label aloud. "Cheddar cheese..."
"Yep, love the stuff." Kiara said with a smile.
"Alright, anything else you want me to buy while we're here?" Richard asked.
"Nope." Kiara replied with a look of happiness on her face.
Seeing Kiara so happy over a block of cheese made both Richard and Tera smile and giggle a little. "Okay, what about you Tera, you see anything you want to buy?" Richard asked.
"No, I-" Tera stopped in mid sentence when everybody heard shouting coming from the back of the store.
"Stop!" One man shouted.
"Fuck off!" A familiar drunken voice shouted back.
Richard, Kiara and Tera watched as they saw Bruce running out of the shop with two bottles of vodka in his hands and two security guards running after him.
"Oh no, he didn't." Tera said out of disbelief.
"He did." Kiara responded flatly.
Only when Richard saw the last security guard running out of the shop did he soon realize something. "He had a lot of money to spend, why would he steal some vodka?" Richard asked.
"Because he's an idiot, a drunk and annoying." Kiara answered.
"I don't think being annoying is a reason to steal." Richard said.
"I know, I just felt like adding it in there." Kiara responded before she began walking to the checkout with Richard and Tera.
After a few minutes of waiting at the checkout, Richard, Tera and Kiara all looked for something to do. They also checked that Bruce hadn't been arrested, but much to Kiara's disappointment, it seemed that he had got away.
Meanwhile...
Louis followed Owen as he walked past the crowds and received directions from Rhea.
"Turn right, around the next corner." Rhea stated.
Owen did as she said and turned right.
"He's up ahead, can you see him?" Rhea asked.
Owen looked around him, but he couldn't see much past the large crowd all on their way to different shops. "I can't see past this crowd." Owen informed her.
"He's heading towards the toilets; can you see where they are?" Rhea inquired.
Owen looked around; he could see directions bolted to a wall showing that they were just ahead of his current position.
"I know where they are." Owen told her.
"Good, head towards them now." Rhea instructed.
Owen followed her instructions and walked past the crowd towards the toilets.
"He just walked into the toilets now, he's alone in there." Rhea added.
Owen and Louis were now by the entrance to the toilets. "He's in here and he's alone, don't forget he's armed." Owen told Louis.
Louis stood and looked at the door for a second; he couldn't believe that the man who destroyed his life was behind that door.
The more he thought about how free Ryan was, the more he wanted him dead. "Stay here, watch the door. Make sure that nobody tries to get in. Whatever you hear, don't walk in. I don't care if you hear me screaming, do not open this door." Louis told him firmly.
"Do whatever you have to do." Owen said as Louis walked into the toilets.
Louis looked around the white and blue tiled L shaped corridor he walked down and around to get to Ryan. He looked around the room now, there were sinks with mirrors behind them to the left, white toilet stalls to the right and right down the end of the room were about 5 urinals, one of which Ryan was pissing into.
Louis felt rage take over, he finally had the man that caused all the pain in his life right in front of him, and there was nothing in the way to stop him from killing him.
He thought about when that same man killed his parent's right in front of his eyes, and shot his brother. He still didn't even know if his brother was still alive, Reaper saved him but his brother was still taken. As he thought more about, he felt pure hatred slowly take over him.
Ryan finished pissing and gave it a few shakes before zipping up and walking over to the farthest sink away from Louis. Ryan noticed the young man staring at him like a hawk. "You better look away right now while your jaw is still attached to your face." Ryan insulted as he washed his hands in the sink.
"You don't even fucking recognize me, do you?" Louis growled back at Ryan. He thought that he would have at least recognized the face of the person whose life he destroyed, even if that was 10 years ago.
Ryan then looked over to the young man man. "No I fucking don't, but I'm going to beat the shit out of you all the same." Ryan stated, he was just going to beat him up, but he reached behind himself for his gun when he noticed the young man sprinting towards him.
Ryan pulled out his pistol and shot off one round, but it hit nothing as Louis managed to point the gun that was aimed at his head, over his shoulder instead.
The loud gunshot partially deafened Louis because the muzzle was so close to his head. Louis grabbed Ryan by the neck and pushed him into the wall behind him. Instead of trying to get the young man's hand off his neck, Ryan used his other hand to punch Louis directly in the eye before he kicked him to his gut and sent him to one of the stall's doors.
Louis felt his back hit the stall door before he saw Ryan aiming his gun towards his head again. Louis quickly launched himself forward and used both hands to point the gun towards the floor as he heard another gunshot.
Louis quickly headbutted Ryan right to his nose before one of his hands let go of Ryan's hand and punched him to the side of his head.
Louis could feel something wet running down his leg, but didn't have time to think about what it was.
Ryan let out a grunt of pain and blood seeped out of his right nostril before he responded by slamming his fist several times rapidly into Louis' ribs as he tried to aim his gun at the young man.
Louis tried to punch at Ryan's head again, but when he tried, he only hit the wall behind Ryan's head as he partially ducked and used his shoulder to ram Louis back into the door of the stall which flew open.
Louis managed to stop himself from falling back by placing a hand behind him, onto the wall behind the toilet. Louis quickly then punched the right side of Ryan's head before Louis then used his own shoulder to ram into Ryan's gut.
Ryan fell back and Louis was on top of him. Louis slammed Ryan's hand off the hard white tiled floor. Louis also tried to punch Ryan to the face with the other hand, but he managed to catch it.
Louis couldn't do much with the other hand, but he continued to slam Ryan's hand that still held the gun off the floor until his hand begun to bleed and finally dropped the gun. Ryan raised his right leg enough to kick Louis directly to the chest and send him backwards.
Louis quickly scrambled to his feet again and just as Ryan managed stand up again, he was sent back down to the ground when Louis punched him to the side of his face and grabbed his head with both hands before knocking out one of his teeth when he smashed Ryan's face down on the hard marble sink counter.
Ryan's hands went to his mouth as he tasted his own blood that filled his mouth and felt an unbearable pain going through his teeth and gums.
Louis had the man where he wanted him, he was down on the ground and wasn't much of a threat now. Louis then looked over to Ryan's pistol that was on the floor.
Ryan saw his own gun sliding towards him, he quickly tried to pick it up but when he did, he felt some of the bones in his left hand get shattered when Louis brought down his foot with full force onto Ryan's hand and pinned it to his pistol.
When Louis lifted his foot off Ryan's hand he quickly pulled it away to his chest and his other hand soon wrapped around his wrist as he shouted out in pain.
Louis wanted to torture him, but the temptation to kill him was too great. Louis kicked Ryan in the face before he sat on top of him. Louis grabbed Ryan's head and slammed it back down onto the hard floor, over and over again. The more he did it, the more blood he began to see every time he lifted his head back up to smash it back down.
Louis stopped when he saw Ryan beginning to lose consciousness; he wanted Ryan to be awake once he killed him. Louis slowly pressed his thumbs into Ryan's eyes; they were harder to break through than he had initially thought.
Ryan frantically tried to punch out and scratch at Louis' face, but he couldn't do it, the pain overwhelmed him as he screamed out and blood pooled out of his eyes.
Louis shouted as he pushed his thumbs deeper into where Ryan's eyes once were. "JUST FUCKING DIE!" He shouted just as Ryan's arms fell.
Louis pulled his thumbs out of Ryan's eye sockets, knew he was dead already, but that didn't stop him from smashing the back of his skull against the floor again, and again, and again. Once he stopped smashing his head off the floor, he repeatedly brought his fist down onto Ryan's face.
After a while, he became totally exhausted, and he slowly crawled away from Ryan's body.
He stayed on the floor, breathing in deeply and staring at the bloody corpse on the floor. For the past 10 years, he made it his purpose in life to hunt that man that now lay dead on the floor.
He thought that if he killed him, he would feel fulfillment, but he didn't. He still felt empty inside, he still felt that hatred building up inside of him, that's when he realized that killing Ryan wasn't enough, and he wanted to wipe them all out. He wasn't going to stop killing slavers until either they were all dead, or he was.
He felt something in his mouth, which he perceived to be blood. "That. Is. What. You. Get. For. Fucking. With. Me." Louis spat, as the blood left his mouth and landed on Ryan's face. The body's face was then blurred by even more dark red liquid.
He wiped his mouth, and sat on the floor, next to the man he had just killed. He breathed in heavily as he slowly regained his senses.
"Fucking agreed!" Bruce said as he pulled out his pistol and brought back the slide before pointing it at the viper's head.
"No, don't!" Owen quickly objected as he drove the car.
"Why the fuck not?" Bruce growled back.
"I didn't let the man who stabbed me live for no reason! He has information, and I'm going to get it!" Owen exclaimed as he tried his best to block out the pain he felt in his hand and drove one-handed.
Bruce reluctantly put away his gun and mumbled profanities as he leaned back in his chair.
Louis looked at the man that works for Silas, he thought about torturing him to get whatever information he had.
Richard held Tera's paw, he noticed that she had a look of shock on her face. "Tera, are you alright?" He asked softly.
Tera looked back over to him and answered him. "That man, He's wearing the same uniform..." Tera trailed off.
"The same uniform? What do you mean?" Richard confusedly asked.
"He's wearing the same uniform as the people who killed my clan!" Tera almost shouted with both anger and sadness in her voice as she glared with hatred at the man on the floor.
Her shouting caught the attention of the others in the car as well. Tera felt like both ripping the man on the floor apart and breaking down and crying. "T-they shouldn't just get away with that!"
Richard had never heard her this angry, he could see the hate in her face for the man on the car floor; she looked like she wanted to rip the man's throat out.
Richard wanted to calm her. "They won't, and neither will he. We're going to take them all down." Richard replied with forced confidence.
Tera looked back over to Richard, she knew that the possibility of taking them all down was very slim, but his words made her feel slightly better. "What if we can't stop them?" Tera asked as the hate in her voice slowly faded.
"Then we try and get most of them, they won't get away with this. I promise." Richard reassured as he wrapped one arm around her to make her feel safer.
Tera didn't want to say anymore, she just rested her head on Richard's shoulder as he gave her a comforting hug, but she kept an eye on the man on the car floor at all times.
Louis thought about the people around him, he realized that he knew nothing about the team or why they were joined this mission. Seeing the Lucario upset about losing her clan to Silas' men brought back bad memories for him.
He wanted to know a little more about the team, but he knew now wasn't the best time to do that.
Owen was still driving away from the hotel, and as he did, he couldn't help but wonder why the team was running down the corridor back in the hotel, and why Reaper's blades were covered in blood. "What happened back there?" Owen asked.
Louis was the one to answer his question. "A viper attacked us; he would have killed me if Reaper didn't gut him first." He stated as he looked down to Reaper's bloody blades.
"There was only one viper? No vipers tried to attack anybody else?" Owen questioned.
Reaper was the one to answer him. "No, your squad heard the man's screams, and they found us."
"That Scyther tore the man in fucking half!" Bruce added as he searched around in his bag for some whiskey. "Pull over." Bruce commanded as he grabbed his whiskey.
"Why?" Owen asked.
"Just fucking do it." Bruce stated tiredly.
Owen did as he said and looked back over to the drunken ex soldier. Bruce leaned over the chair he was sat on and said, "Show me your hand."
Owen could see the bottle of whiskey in Bruce's hand; he knew what was coming next.
Bruce smiled; he wanted to see just how well the agent could take pain. "This is going to hurt like fuck." Bruce said right before he poured the alcohol on Owen's bloody hand.
Owen clenched his teeth and breathed in as he stopped himself from shouting out again because of the pain he felt, the burning, stinging sensation he felt in his hand.
"Shit." He quietly whispered to himself as Bruce stopped pouring whiskey on his wound and drank the rest that remained in the bottle.
Bruce threw the empty bottle out of the smashed out window. "I've got to hand it to you agent guy, you can take some pain!" Bruce shouted out. Seeing the blood and the violence around him made him want to fight, it got him hyped up.
Owen took off his jacket to rip off the left sleeve off his dark blue T-shirt and used it to cover his wound, it wasn't much but it was better than nothing.
5 minutes later...
Owen had received orders from Rhea to bring the viper he now had in the back of the car to a meeting point just outside of Cerulean City. Owen noticed the concern in Rhea's voice when he told her about his hand; he was glad that she cared about him.
Kiara watched as Bruce drank even more alcohol. "We were just attacked and you're getting drunk again?" Kiara questioned to the drunk in front of her.
"You should drink; maybe it would make you less of a bitch." Bruce replied before he drank some more beer.
"You should stop drinking, it wouldn't make you any less of an ass but it would stop you from smelling like a brewery." Kiara angrily shot back.
"I hate you." Bruce spat as he drank a little more beer.
"I hate you too." Kiara said back.
Owen looked around as he drove his car through a dirt path; he soon saw what he was looking for. Owen stopped the car, near by was a black van. "Stay here." Owen told the others in the back of the car as he got out of the car and walked over to the black van. "One-seven-seven." Owen said just loud enough for the driver of that van to hear.
The driver didn't get out of the van, but three other armed men did. They wore black Kevlar vests over black tactical jackets, black combat trousers, boots as well as balaclavas and tactical helmets to hide their identities.
There were no emblems, insignias or dog tags on these men, agents never wore any. "He's in the back." Owen informed to the men carrying P90 sub-machine guns as he walked back over to the car and opened up the back door.
Nobody said anything as the armed men dragged the viper out of the car and into the back of the van. Everybody was relieved that the viper was out of the car, especially Owen and Tera.
Two of the armed men climbed into the back of the van, but one talked to Owen. "Your contact will give you any information we can get from him, good luck on your mission." The armed man said before climbing into the back with the other men and closing the doors behind him.
Owen got back into his car as the black van drove off; he let out a sigh before speaking to the group in the back. "It's not safe to stay in hotels anymore; we're going to have to start camping." Owen told the group in the back.
Bruce had to say something. "Yeah, because it's so much safer sleeping in a dark forest." Bruce said with sarcasm in his drunken voice.
"It is actually, Silas has viper operatives in nearly every city, and they won't be expecting us to be camping out in the forest." Owen said as he started up the car.
"Fan-fucking-tastic! Now I have to fiddle around with tents and shit. I need a drink." Bruce cussed as he searched around in his backpack again.
Kiara glared at him as he took out some beer and cracked open the can. "Another one? Don't you think you've drank enough?" Kiara asked him.
"Well I'm still conscious, so no." Bruce replied with a smirk before he took a big gulp of beer.
"Ugh, you're worthless. All you do is drink and swear." Kiara insulted as she frowned at the man in front of her.
"And you're an ice queen, make yourself useful and chill my drinks." Bruce said as he took another swig of beer.
Kiara had a devious smile on her face when Bruce said that, she could already imagine his face after she went through with her plan, but now wasn't the time. "In your dreams drunkard." Kiara snappily replied.
"And you say I'm worthless." Bruce responded before he drank what was left of his beer and tossed the can out of the smashed out window.
15 minutes later...
Everybody was now in the woods; they had found a good spot to camp for the night. Kiara looked for more berries seeing as she had no luck back around the hotel. Richard and Tera had managed to get their tent up, just as Louis and Reaper did.
But Bruce gave up before he even really started. "Screw it; I'm not used to pitching tents... hah, pitching tents." Bruce quietly chuckled to himself as he began searching in his backpack for more booze.
Richard and Tera climbed into their tent as soon as they set it up. They both lay on their sleeping bags as they looked into each other's eyes. Richard knew Tera was hurt when she saw that viper; he wanted to make sure she felt okay. "How are you feeling?" Richard asked.
"Better, now I'm alone with you." Tera said as she looked to the man she loves. She decided to tell him what was really on her mind while they were finally alone together.
"I don't want anything bad to happen to you; those men that went after Owen and the others could have easily have gone for us. I don't know what I would do if you got hurt, or... Worse." She stated the last part as she looked down to her sleeping bag and tried to hide the tears that she felt coming to her eyes.
"Hey, come here." Richard comforted as he gave Tera a hug and rubbed her back. "Don't worry; I can take care of both you, and myself. I promise." Richard whispered to her as he felt her paws on his back. Richard hoped he could live up to all these promises he made to her.
Tera buried her face into Richard's chest, she always felt safer and calmer when she did this. "Richard?" Tera quietly asked.
"Yes?" Richard replied.
"Thank you." Tera thanked as she rubbed his back.
"For what?" Richard asked.
"For everything, staying by me, protecting me... Loving me." Tera stated as she looked back up to Richard.
Richard looked deeply into her amazing crimson eyes before responding. "I should really be thanking you for that." Richard replied with a smile before kissing the end of her snout.
Tera blushed lightly and smiled as she cuddled back up to him.
Richard stroked her back as Tera's arms wrapped around him. "You've given me so much; I love you more than anything else in the world." Richard told her as his hands continued to stroke her soft fur.
Tera looked into Richard's eyes and said, "I love you too Richard." Before she embraced him with kisses.
Owen was in the car, he decided that sleeping in the car would be the best option for him. He looked down to his left hand which was now bandaged by the sleeve he tore off his shirt, the dark blue sleeve on his hand was now stained red with blood, but it was barely visible.
As Owen looked down to his hand, he knew that he wasn't going to be getting much sleep tonight. Every time he tried to close his eyes, he heard some noise or the pain he felt in his hand just kept him awake. Suddenly, he heard Rhea's voice calling inside his ear again. "Owen, are you there?"
Owen pressed the button on his earpiece to reply, he was glad that he was right handed. "Yeah, I'm here. If you're calling about the mission then its going to have to wait for now, the team is tired and I doubt they would be willing to go anywhere right now." Owen told her.
"I'm not calling about the mission; I'm calling to ask how you are." Rhea replied.
"I've been better. I can't move my fingers on my left hand properly because of the pain and right now it's stopping me from sleeping." Owen stated.
"I'm surprised you're even trying to get to sleep." Rhea told him
"I need to get some rest for this mission, even if it's just for an hour or two. I prefer to be wide awake when I'm getting shot at." Owen responded.
"And I thought you said you were going to be careful." Rhea snapped back.
"Yeah, but there has been a change of plans since then. How have you been anyway?" Owen asked as he tried to get comfortable in the driver's seat.
"Tired, calling hundreds of people and searching for information on people who are practically ghosts is hard work. Also worrying for you and your team isn't helping." Rhea added.
"Well it's nice to know you worry for us, I'd be a little concerned if you didn't." Owen stated with a little chuckle.
"I've got to go, I'd ask you to be careful but I think we both know that's not going to happen." Rhea informed.
"Bye." Owen said as he heard a little crackle through the earpiece. Owen closed his eyes and tried to get to sleep again, he hoped that he would hear Rhea's voice again soon, even if it was to talk about the mission.
Bruce still hadn't managed to make his tent, but he didn't care as he had already passed out on his sleeping bag outside.
Louis was in his tent alone. Reaper was busy keeping watch outside, after getting recruited on a team planning to take down Silas and getting attacked by the black vipers, he was more alert than ever.
11 AM...
The team had woken up and was now packing up their stuff, with the exception of Owen and Kiara. Owen was sat in the car waiting for the others; he had received information from Rhea on the whereabouts of Ryan Lexer.
Kiara was laughing at Bruce who packed up his stuff and stumbled over himself as he tried to put all his camping stuff in the back of the car.
"Fucking camping shit. Fucking vipers. Fucking bugs. I can kill vipers, but I can't kill all these fucking bugs!" Bruce shouted as he swatted at some of the mosquito like flies that seemed to follow him.
'They really like him; I bet it's all that alcohol he drinks.' Kiara thought to herself as she giggled at him now trying to punch the flies out of the air.
"Little fucking shits!" He shouted as he punched at the flies, a little smirk came to his face as he knocked them out of the air.
Louis and Reaper ignored the drunk that was lashing out at the flies; they packed up their camping stuff and shoved it all into the boot of the car.
Louis had been thinking about what he was going to do to Ryan when he found him, he had thought of ways to torture him but keep him alive, he wanted him to suffer the most painful death possible.
Richard and Tera packed away their stuff and shoved it all into the boot of the car. They then climbed into the back of the car and sat at their usual seats. Richard looked behind Louis and Reaper, over to Owen. "How's the hand?" Richard asked the tired agent.
"Still hurting, but thanks for asking." Owen replied as he heard the car door opening and saw Bruce and Kiara joining the others in the back. Owen started up the car and the engine soon revved to life.
Louis knew that if they were moving, then they had a plan, he had not forgotten that the agent said he would make his search for Ryan his first priority. "Do you know where Ryan is?" Louis asked.
"Yes." Owen answered as he drove the car one-handed once again.
"Where is he? I've searched everywhere for him and always come up with nothing!" Louis exclaimed as he remembered the countless slavers that he had tortured and killed to get information on Ryan, they all seemed so sure of their information, but their info was always wrong.
"I'm not surprised, he evaded us too... Until now. He has a completely different life from his slaver life, were not even sure if Ryan is his real name. He has been living right here in Kanto for over 20 years now, he uses the name Raymond Luther. He lives in Cerulean City; if we're lucky then we can get to him before the vipers inform him that we know his fake identity." Owen told him.
"If we get him, will you stop me from killing him?" Louis questioned.
Owen thought about it, Ryan was a close friend to Silas; he could have extremely valuable information. But he knew that if he stopped Louis from killing him, there was a good chance that he would walk away from the mission.
Owen was having a hard time deciding what he should do, but then he remembered that he assigned Richard to be the leader, he decided now was the time to let him lead the team. "That depends on what our team leader here says, what do you say Richard?" Owen asked.
Richard looked over to Owen before looking towards Louis. Richard had no idea who this Ryan guy was, or why he wanted him dead. He decided to ask about the man before he decided on anything else. "I need to know more about this man before I let you kill him." Richard said.
Louis sat forward and got ready to tell him why he wants him dead so much.
"He killed my family; he took my brother, and almost took me. He's a slaver, he mostly deals with humans, he's a sick fuck, and he deserves to die." Louis finished as he felt the rage inside him starting to rise just thinking about the man that almost took his life away.
Richard could see he was telling the truth, he didn't have a hard time deciding what he should let Louis do. "We won't stop you from doing whatever you want to do to him." Richard answered.
"Glad to hear it." Louis replied as he sat back in his seat, and thought about what he would do once he comes face to face with the man that destroyed his life when he was only 11 years old.
Reaper looked to his own claws as he idly rubbed them together, sharpening them.
5 Minutes later...
They had now arrived in Cerulean City, Owen driven down the streets of the city as he received directions from Rhea, listening to her directions until she told him to stop.
"He's in there." Rhea told him.
Owen looked to the big shopping mall that he stopped just outside of. "He's in the shopping mall?" Owen asked just to confirm what he was thinking.
"Yes, the man you're looking for is wearing a green shirt with a black Houndoom on the front of it, blue loose fitting jeans held up by a black leather belt and black sneakers. He has jet black hair and is about 6 foot. He also seems to be armed with a 9mm pistol, so be cautious if one of you plan to approach him." Rhea informed.
"Got it." Owen replied.
"I'll update you on his location in the mall as soon as you enter it." Rhea finished before Owen heard the familiar crackling sound again.
Owen looked back to the group in the car; he realized that a large group like this would be spotted easily, even in a crowd.
"Louis, you should come with me. We'll track down Ryan, my contact will tell me where he is and I'll take you to him. What ever you do to him is between you and him. Reaper should go with the others to avoid any unwanted attention, a Scyther sticks out in a crowd, that's how I found you." Owen told them.
Richard sat upright and asked, "And what are we going to do?"
"Go shopping, act casual. Here, this should be enough for all of you, split it up between yourselves and I'll find you all once Ryan has been dealt with." Owen stated as he handed Richard a large wad of cash.
Richard couldn't believe how much money Owen had on him.
Bruce's jaw almost dropped when he saw the cash, and then he began thinking about one thing, buying more vodka.
"Fuck yeah! This doesn't make up the fact that I have been shot at... Twice, but it's a damn good start!" Bruce yelled as he took his share of the cash.
Kiara looked over to Bruce who flicked through the cash in his hand, counting it. "Oh great, now the drunkard is going to get his refill!" Kiara insulted with a sigh.
Bruce had a smile on his face as he looked at Kiara's disappointed expression. "Damn right I am! Maybe I should also buy a gag to shut you up too." Bruce exclaimed with a chuckle.
"Try gagging me and I'll rip your head off!" Kiara growled back.
"I guess not even a warm joke can melt the ice queen, maybe I'll buy a portable radiator just to piss you off." Bruce added as he smirked.
"You don't need any help pissing me off, you're annoying enough already. Besides, I know you wouldn't buy something like that. You'd be way to busy buying more drinks to shove down your stupid throat." Kiara stated hatefully
"Screw you." Bruce spat angrily as he grabbed his backpack and exited the car. Richard, Tera and Reaper followed them to the massive mall. Owen and Louis disused what they should do about Ryan, how they should approach him, and how they should kill him.
After a few minutes, Richard and Tera soon found themselves looking through the shops of the mall. Richard didn't really like shopping, but it gave him some time to spend with Tera so he really didn't mind.
As they walked past some of the shops, Richard's eyes locked onto one shop window, a jewelry shop. Richard looked at all the shiny gold and silver bracelets, necklaces and rings. He then began thinking about the wedding, what kind of ring he should get her was on his mind. But then another question popped into his head.
'Wait, how is Tera going to wear a ring?' He thought as he looked to her paws. Richard then looked to the silver necklace around her neck. 'I suppose she could just wear it on that.' Richard thought to himself before he began looking at the rings in the shop window again.
Tera noticed that Richard was walking slower and slower, she then noticed that he was looking over to the jewelry shop. "Want to take a look in there?" Tera asked.
Richard snapped out of his thoughts and looked back over to Tera, he felt embarrassed once he realized she had seen him staring at wedding rings like a zombie. "Err, we don't have to if you don't want to." Richard nervously stuttered.
Tera felt like laughing at the sight of seeing Richard so nervous. "Come on, let's take a look." Tera smiled as she led him over to the jewelry shop.
As they both walked into the jewelry shop, a woman wearing a blue formal business suit approached Richard and asked, "Hello, how can I help you?"
Richard tried hard to remember that Pokemon and human relationships are illegal here.
"Well, I'm getting married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I was hoping that I could find a wedding ring that really shows how much I care about her." Richard stated as he struggled not to look behind him over to Tera to avoid any suspicion.
Tera felt happy hearing how much he cares about her; she could feel herself starting to blush.
"Well I'll see what we can find." The woman said as she went to find the special selection of rings.
After a couple of minutes of looking at rings, they came out of the shop. Richard had seen some nice rings, but nothing stood out. Richard's and Tera's attention soon turned to Kiara who was now walking towards them. "Hey, could you buy something for me?" Kiara asked.
"Sure, what do you want?" Richard asked.
"Err... Cheese." Kiara answered shyly.
Richard looked over to Tera to see her looking just as confused as he felt. "Cheese?" Richard repeated.
"Yeah, they have it at that shop over there but I can't hold the damn money for it!" Kiara complained as she looked down to her paws.
Richard had almost forgotten that she couldn't do much with her paws, "We'll buy it for ya, lead the way." Richard stated before Richard and Tera followed Kiara to another shop.
Kiara walked at quite a fast pace, almost breaking into a run as she navigated through the big shop full of shelves with food. Richard and Tera had to start jogging at one point just to keep up with her, until she stopped by one shelf and informed, "Here it is."
Richard picked up the block of cheese wrapped in see through plastic and read the label aloud. "Cheddar cheese..."
"Yep, love the stuff." Kiara said with a smile.
"Alright, anything else you want me to buy while we're here?" Richard asked.
"Nope." Kiara replied with a look of happiness on her face.
Seeing Kiara so happy over a block of cheese made both Richard and Tera smile and giggle a little. "Okay, what about you Tera, you see anything you want to buy?" Richard asked.
"No, I-" Tera stopped in mid sentence when everybody heard shouting coming from the back of the store.
"Stop!" One man shouted.
"Fuck off!" A familiar drunken voice shouted back.
Richard, Kiara and Tera watched as they saw Bruce running out of the shop with two bottles of vodka in his hands and two security guards running after him.
"Oh no, he didn't." Tera said out of disbelief.
"He did." Kiara responded flatly.
Only when Richard saw the last security guard running out of the shop did he soon realize something. "He had a lot of money to spend, why would he steal some vodka?" Richard asked.
"Because he's an idiot, a drunk and annoying." Kiara answered.
"I don't think being annoying is a reason to steal." Richard said.
"I know, I just felt like adding it in there." Kiara responded before she began walking to the checkout with Richard and Tera.
After a few minutes of waiting at the checkout, Richard, Tera and Kiara all looked for something to do. They also checked that Bruce hadn't been arrested, but much to Kiara's disappointment, it seemed that he had got away.
Meanwhile...
Louis followed Owen as he walked past the crowds and received directions from Rhea.
"Turn right, around the next corner." Rhea stated.
Owen did as she said and turned right.
"He's up ahead, can you see him?" Rhea asked.
Owen looked around him, but he couldn't see much past the large crowd all on their way to different shops. "I can't see past this crowd." Owen informed her.
"He's heading towards the toilets; can you see where they are?" Rhea inquired.
Owen looked around; he could see directions bolted to a wall showing that they were just ahead of his current position.
"I know where they are." Owen told her.
"Good, head towards them now." Rhea instructed.
Owen followed her instructions and walked past the crowd towards the toilets.
"He just walked into the toilets now, he's alone in there." Rhea added.
Owen and Louis were now by the entrance to the toilets. "He's in here and he's alone, don't forget he's armed." Owen told Louis.
Louis stood and looked at the door for a second; he couldn't believe that the man who destroyed his life was behind that door.
The more he thought about how free Ryan was, the more he wanted him dead. "Stay here, watch the door. Make sure that nobody tries to get in. Whatever you hear, don't walk in. I don't care if you hear me screaming, do not open this door." Louis told him firmly.
"Do whatever you have to do." Owen said as Louis walked into the toilets.
Louis looked around the white and blue tiled L shaped corridor he walked down and around to get to Ryan. He looked around the room now, there were sinks with mirrors behind them to the left, white toilet stalls to the right and right down the end of the room were about 5 urinals, one of which Ryan was pissing into.
Louis felt rage take over, he finally had the man that caused all the pain in his life right in front of him, and there was nothing in the way to stop him from killing him.
He thought about when that same man killed his parent's right in front of his eyes, and shot his brother. He still didn't even know if his brother was still alive, Reaper saved him but his brother was still taken. As he thought more about, he felt pure hatred slowly take over him.
Ryan finished pissing and gave it a few shakes before zipping up and walking over to the farthest sink away from Louis. Ryan noticed the young man staring at him like a hawk. "You better look away right now while your jaw is still attached to your face." Ryan insulted as he washed his hands in the sink.
"You don't even fucking recognize me, do you?" Louis growled back at Ryan. He thought that he would have at least recognized the face of the person whose life he destroyed, even if that was 10 years ago.
Ryan then looked over to the young man man. "No I fucking don't, but I'm going to beat the shit out of you all the same." Ryan stated, he was just going to beat him up, but he reached behind himself for his gun when he noticed the young man sprinting towards him.
Ryan pulled out his pistol and shot off one round, but it hit nothing as Louis managed to point the gun that was aimed at his head, over his shoulder instead.
The loud gunshot partially deafened Louis because the muzzle was so close to his head. Louis grabbed Ryan by the neck and pushed him into the wall behind him. Instead of trying to get the young man's hand off his neck, Ryan used his other hand to punch Louis directly in the eye before he kicked him to his gut and sent him to one of the stall's doors.
Louis felt his back hit the stall door before he saw Ryan aiming his gun towards his head again. Louis quickly launched himself forward and used both hands to point the gun towards the floor as he heard another gunshot.
Louis quickly headbutted Ryan right to his nose before one of his hands let go of Ryan's hand and punched him to the side of his head.
Louis could feel something wet running down his leg, but didn't have time to think about what it was.
Ryan let out a grunt of pain and blood seeped out of his right nostril before he responded by slamming his fist several times rapidly into Louis' ribs as he tried to aim his gun at the young man.
Louis tried to punch at Ryan's head again, but when he tried, he only hit the wall behind Ryan's head as he partially ducked and used his shoulder to ram Louis back into the door of the stall which flew open.
Louis managed to stop himself from falling back by placing a hand behind him, onto the wall behind the toilet. Louis quickly then punched the right side of Ryan's head before Louis then used his own shoulder to ram into Ryan's gut.
Ryan fell back and Louis was on top of him. Louis slammed Ryan's hand off the hard white tiled floor. Louis also tried to punch Ryan to the face with the other hand, but he managed to catch it.
Louis couldn't do much with the other hand, but he continued to slam Ryan's hand that still held the gun off the floor until his hand begun to bleed and finally dropped the gun. Ryan raised his right leg enough to kick Louis directly to the chest and send him backwards.
Louis quickly scrambled to his feet again and just as Ryan managed stand up again, he was sent back down to the ground when Louis punched him to the side of his face and grabbed his head with both hands before knocking out one of his teeth when he smashed Ryan's face down on the hard marble sink counter.
Ryan's hands went to his mouth as he tasted his own blood that filled his mouth and felt an unbearable pain going through his teeth and gums.
Louis had the man where he wanted him, he was down on the ground and wasn't much of a threat now. Louis then looked over to Ryan's pistol that was on the floor.
Ryan saw his own gun sliding towards him, he quickly tried to pick it up but when he did, he felt some of the bones in his left hand get shattered when Louis brought down his foot with full force onto Ryan's hand and pinned it to his pistol.
When Louis lifted his foot off Ryan's hand he quickly pulled it away to his chest and his other hand soon wrapped around his wrist as he shouted out in pain.
Louis wanted to torture him, but the temptation to kill him was too great. Louis kicked Ryan in the face before he sat on top of him. Louis grabbed Ryan's head and slammed it back down onto the hard floor, over and over again. The more he did it, the more blood he began to see every time he lifted his head back up to smash it back down.
Louis stopped when he saw Ryan beginning to lose consciousness; he wanted Ryan to be awake once he killed him. Louis slowly pressed his thumbs into Ryan's eyes; they were harder to break through than he had initially thought.
Ryan frantically tried to punch out and scratch at Louis' face, but he couldn't do it, the pain overwhelmed him as he screamed out and blood pooled out of his eyes.
Louis shouted as he pushed his thumbs deeper into where Ryan's eyes once were. "JUST FUCKING DIE!" He shouted just as Ryan's arms fell.
Louis pulled his thumbs out of Ryan's eye sockets, knew he was dead already, but that didn't stop him from smashing the back of his skull against the floor again, and again, and again. Once he stopped smashing his head off the floor, he repeatedly brought his fist down onto Ryan's face.
After a while, he became totally exhausted, and he slowly crawled away from Ryan's body.
He stayed on the floor, breathing in deeply and staring at the bloody corpse on the floor. For the past 10 years, he made it his purpose in life to hunt that man that now lay dead on the floor.
He thought that if he killed him, he would feel fulfillment, but he didn't. He still felt empty inside, he still felt that hatred building up inside of him, that's when he realized that killing Ryan wasn't enough, and he wanted to wipe them all out. He wasn't going to stop killing slavers until either they were all dead, or he was.
He felt something in his mouth, which he perceived to be blood. "That. Is. What. You. Get. For. Fucking. With. Me." Louis spat, as the blood left his mouth and landed on Ryan's face. The body's face was then blurred by even more dark red liquid.
