Chapter 50 - The Car Tyrant

The cops are all around Mark Smith's crims scene. A woman walks up to Mark Smith's dead body. She's wearing a brown jacket with a scarf and jeans. She takes a picture of Mark smith. A cop walks over to her.

Cop: Dammit Remi! How do you always sneak onto crime scenes!

The cop starts dragging her out.

Remi: I heard that the FBI is coming. Is that true?

Cop: We aren't the FBI.

The FBI show up, and start taking over the crime scene.

Remi: Guess you don't need to answer my question.

She starts taking pictures of the FBI at the scene. The cop drags her out.

Remi: Owen! I'm trying to do my job!

Owen: And I'm trying to do mine!

Owen Gets Remi to the police tape outside the building.

Remi: At least tell me who he was.

Owen: Someone the FBI knows.

Owen starts walking away.

Remi: Does that mean he is part of the government?

Owen: I'm not answering your questions!

Remi: He needs to be more helpful. This was just any old day, but now that the FBI is involved this is a story!

Remi leaves the Crime scene. Kai is laying on his bed at home.

Kai(in head): How did that knight even know about Mark Smith. That was so long ago. I almost forgot what he looks like. He clearly picked that guy for a reason. Maybe because he said that he had killed, maybe he thinks I'm a bad guy. He'll challenge me sooner or later. I should just try to get my mind off of it.

Kai sits there for a second.

Kai: The business! I need to start making money anyway. Now I just have to think of a business idea. I have no fucking clue what to make a business about.

Kai gets up, and makes something to eat. Once Kai finishes eating he figures it out.

Kai: I need some more weed. I think the best on weed. Where the fuck is Jax?

Kai texts Jax that he is coming over, and then drives to Jax's house. Kai knocks on the door, and Jax answers.

Jax: Whattup?

Kai: It's time.

Kai walks inside.

Jax: Time for what?

Kai: I need some… inspiration.

Jax: Oh, I feel ya.

Jax goes into the back and grabs something. Then Jax walks back into the room. Kai and Jax both start smoking. After an hour they're baked.

Kai: Ya'know, I just bounced to Hell for like 2 weeks.

Jax: Man, I've had those kinds of weeks.

Kai: And now I come back, and people are just dying all over the place.

Jax: Everyone's dying slowly man.

Kai coughs.

Kai: Yeah… If only people could know when someone like Azazel.

Kai takes a deep breath.

Kai: I got it. I need to make something that can show how strong you are.

Jax: Yeah, but then they could see that I'm better than the rest.

Kai: I'll figure it out.

Later that day Kai drives back home. Kai turns on the news again, and they are talking about Mark Smith's death.

Reporter: The FBI came into to clean up over the unknown man.

Kai gets up, and goes to grab something to eat.

Kai(in head): Mark did steal from the military. That's probably why the government came in. They had to clean up their mess.

Kai grabs a bag of pretzels.

Kai: Damn, now I got the munchies.

Kai starts eating, and Az texts him.

Az(text): I need your help. Meet me at my house in your costume, or should I say clothes?

Kai(text): Don't diss the sweatshirt. I'll be there in half an hour.

Kai puts on his costume, and then makes his way across rooftops to Az's house. Kai climbs in through Az's window, and walks down to the living room to see Az on the couch.

Az: You could have come through the front door.

Kai: You really want people to see a dressed-up man come to your house alone.

Az: Fair enough.

Kai: So, what's going on?

Az: Its Rhea. We had a fight, and now she is with a gang. I tried to stop her, but I can't go to that gang. They have a guy bigger then Lefty and Righty.

Kai: I'll help, but you can't baby Rhea, Az.

Az sighs.

Az: I know. Just need you to help me with this.

Kai: Then let's go.

Kai and Az travel to an Automobile shop. Once they walk in all the workers stop. Rhea walks out of one of the rooms and sees Az. As soon as Rhea makes eye contact with Az she turns away.

Az: Rhea!

The workers grab wrenches and then charge Kai and Az.

Kai: What is a wrench going to do?

Five guys run at Kai. The first guy swings his wrench. Kai grabs his arm, and takes the wrench. Then Kai kicks the worker in the stomach, and the worker falls to the ground. Another worker swings a wrench at Kai's leg. Kai steps on the wrench pushing it to the ground. While the guy is on the ground Kai kicks him in the head. A worker tries to run up from behind Kai. Kai hits him in the head with a wrench. The guy drops to the ground. Another guy throws a punch at Kai. Kai punches the guy in the stomach, and the guy falls to the ground. The last guy is running at Kai, and Kai throws a wrench at him knocking him out.

Kai: Easy.

Kai looks over to the side. Az finishes his last guy. Rhea walks over to them.

Rhea: Az…

Az: Rhea, you killed someone again. When I was talking to you about it I wasn't mad. I was disappointed.

Rhea: I know you were, but you said that I wouldn't stop. So I decided to join somewhere I fit in better.

Az: I just said that in the moment.

The is a room with the sign "Tyrant" on it. The door opens, and a huge man walks out of it. The pale-skinned man is wearing a black shirt and jeans. He has muscles twice the size of Lefty and Righty. The man is almost 13 feet tall.

???: You think you can attack my store, and then steal one of my workers?!

Kai: From the sign, I'm guessing your name is Tyrant, and to be fair they attacked first.

Tyrant picks up a car easily, and then throws the car at Kai and Az. Kai puts his hands out to block the car. Kai stops the car, but gets pushed back from the force. Tyrant runs at Kai. Every time Tyrant's foot hits the ground they cracks from the concrete under them. Tyrant slams his hands down on Kai. Kai teleports above Tyrant, and hits him on his head. When Tyrant's hands hit the ground he creates a small crater. When Kai hits Tyrant his head moves a small bit, but he looks unfazed. Kai drops to the ground behind Tyrant. Then Tyrant swings his arm behind him. Kai does a backhand spring to dodge it. Then Tyrant charges Kai with an arm in front of his face to block it. Kai jumps to the side dodging it. Tyrant slams into the wall breaking through it. Tyrant climbs back into the room through the hole in the wall.

Kai: Get Rhea out of here. Go kiss and makeup. I'll handle this.

Az goes to grab Rhea's hand to run.

Rhea: I'm not coming with you!

Az: Rhea! He doesn't care about you!

Rhea threw a front kick. She kicked Az down.

Az: Rhea, we're not doing this right now.

Rhea: I won't kill you. But this is going to feel good.

Tyrant looks angrier than before. Tyrant picks up a car in each hand. Then he throws them at Kai one after another. Kai stops the first car, but when the second car slams into the first Kai falls to the ground with the cars on top of him. Tyrant walks up to the cars. Tyrant slams his hands on the cars crushing them. Kai teleports above Tyrant again, and takes out his staff. Kai slams his staff onto Tyrants head with all his might and speed. Tyrant stumbles back, and even falls to the ground. Tyrant gets back up to his feet, and shakes his head to get back into focus.

Tyrant: I don't usually have to use this, but… You're a special circumstance.

Tyrant starts breathing heavy, and his veins start popping out of his body.

Tyrant: This is what I like to call MAX STRENGTH!

Tyrant starts ripping up the concrete from the ground, and throws the concrete at Kai. Kai spins his staff around breaking the concrete as it comes over to him. Tyrant charges Kai, but this time he's faster. Kai Teleports above Tyrant. Tyrant grabs Kai's legs, and slams Kai onto the ground. Kai coughs up blood. Then Tyrant slams his hands onto the ground. Kai rolls out of the way. Kai quickly gets to his feet. Then Kai slams his staff on Tyrant's jaw. Tyrant stumbles back and grabs his jaw. Tyrant moves his jaw around a bit, and turns back to Kai. Tyrant starts throwing punches, but they start to become sloppy. Tyrants punches start to slow down. Then once Tyrant starts walking backward breathing heavier than before. Kai tornado kicks Tyrant in the head. Tyrant falls down.

Kai: Just for the record. You destroyed everything. Not me.

Rhea drew a sword.

Rhea: Don't get in my way.

She swung her sword at Az. He ducked under, she threw a knee which he also dodged. She stabbed forward with her sword. Az ducked under and punched the sword out of her hand. She threw a spinning backfist at Az. She smashed her hand against the side of his head. He stumbled down. She came up and threw a combo. Az came back to his senses and they started trading blows.

Az: There's no reason for this! You have to stop!

Rhea: I can't

Rhea grabbed Az's leg and flipped him on the ground. She grabbed her sword and pointed him at him.

Az: Rhea, I love you. I want you in my life. I got so upset because you were doing so well. You hadn't killed anyone in so long.

Rhea: I tried. But it's hard! The only time I feel anything is when I...

Rhea pinpointed her sword over to Tyrant.

Rhea: So it's your fault I did this...Then I will get rid of you.

Az: I know it's hard. That's why you have me. Please. End this. We'll start again. You won't hurt anyone like that again. Nobody has to die.

Rhea: He made me kill him. And wanted to make me do the same to so many more.

Az: Don't blame it on him. If you're strong enough to take down ten men. You're strong enough to stop killing them all. Say no.

Rhea: Will you help me?

Az stood up and embraced her, and they kissed. Later that day, Kai makes it back home and then calls Az. Az picks up the phone.

Kai: Yo, everything work out?

Az: It's going to take some time, but I think everything will be fine. Thanks for the help today Kai.

Kai: Yeah, no problem. It was nothing. Talk to ya later.

They hang up the phone.

Kai: Damn, Tyrant was a problem.
