Chapter 8 - Act I. Carried over the edge

Zick, being unconscious and tied up by a light, brown, rope up in the carriage, causing Jack to clench his fists and run towards the flying carriage as the robotic horse tries its best to get away from the place.

"Oh no you darn won't."

Surprisingly. Jack jumps from the ground all the way to the horse carriage, grabbing it and climbing the carriage while it goes higher and continues to fly farther, and farther away from Sam's house.

"Seriously?! I can't get a darn break for one moment today?!"

Jack runs to the front of the flying carriage, surprised. He sees no driver on the front seats which lets out in Jack a weird feeling, making him question how was it driven if no one's there.

A voice is suddenly heard from the front of the carriage. Jack gives a loud question while looking around the carriage and only seeing Zick in it.

"What? What in darn Mother's name is going on?!"

The older brother walks yet again to the front of the carriage. With both of his hand guns pointed at the front seat, yet no one was on the seats nor on the carriage except the two brothers and the robotic horse that is leading it.

"Nyah! I'm shocked that you can't find me JACK! Even though I'm right here in front of you! Nya!"

As the low pitch, cartoonish, voice is heard, Jack notices who said so finally. The surprise wasn't who said it. The surprise was, what that said it.

"Wha-what?!! This must be a joke right?! How can you darn talk?! You are a darn HORSE!"

The horse stares at Jack. Both of their metallic shells shine from the stars above. While laughing and coughing at the same time, the horse responds to him.

"Nyah! Seems you have seen through my disguise!"

"You know you could have been darn quiet all the time and I wouldn't notice."

"Nyah-." A sudden realization hits the horse. "oh right."

"Well you indeed have the brains of a darn horse that's for sure." Jack says, mockingly.

The horse started mumbling loudly, beginning to do flips as the carriage follows. Those flips have caused the two brothers fall down a twenty meter height range from the ground.

He begins to laugh like a maniac, shouting at him with a wide smile.

"NYAH! Look who's smart now! Dumbass! If the boss really thinks you two have something special, then I know that he's wrong!! NYAH!"

Jack quickly grabs Zick by the rope that tied his body up with his right hand, throughout doing so, he holds the edge of the back of the carriage with his left hand.

"You know..." He breaths heavily, trying to try his best to not let loose of Zick or the carriage. "For a horse, I'm surprised that the boss of Rose chose you out of all. To waste the darn stupid tough guys on us first so we'd think he would be easy on us."

The horse began to have anger in his voice from what he heard, letting loose of the carriage and leaving the brothers to fall all the way down.

He flies as quick as he could to the brothers, opening his mouth. Ready to bite off Jack out of rage without any thought at all.

"THE. NAME. IS. HARRY!!! YOU STUPID CUUUUUUUUUUNT!"

Immediately, the older brother dodges the horse's bite, punching Harry right in the face. From the impact of his punch, the horse gets knocked into Sam's house. All throughout them being in the air.

Jack points his finger at Harry, shooting the body five times with his right hand. The finger bullets have made him crash to the ground. In the same time he fell, Jack lands on his feet, grabbing Zick with his arms before he could hit the ground.

The young brother is being placed on the ground with ease, with the carriage behind them breaking to pieces. Jack looks at Harry. Still trying to move his legs, even if the body has five bullet wounds.

The angry gentleman slowly walks to the horse. Very slowly. Harry, fear in his expression, Tries to crawl away. Although his proportions make it hard for him to crawl as a horse, he gets only a few centimeters away.

Before noticing it. He sees Jack, angry, clenching his fists. The horse screams in terror as he begs for forgiveness.

"PLEASE!! I am just a paid Violet assassin! Don't hurt me!!! I ONLY DID IT FOR THE MONEY!!"

Jack stops for a minute. Looking at Harry directly. He grabs onto the horse's neck. As Jack squeezes the neck of the horse, he questions him, with an intimidating voice.

"What. Did. You. Darn. Say? Who sent you?..."

"It's all orders fro-from the Violet boss! He told me if I get to ca-capture you. then he would give me money and a farm!"

"The Violet boss? Are you sure that it's not your stupidity, making you get darn confused between the bosses?"

"No-NO! I swear! I even have a letter from the boss himself!"

"Where?"

Harry points one of his legs to the carriage. As so, his body shakes in very fast rates.

"The-there-there. The le-letter is there!"

"Hmm. Darn."

Jack walks fast to the carriage. Finding between the wooden wrecks of it a letter. A white letter with a purple stamp.

As he opened it, the letters is shown to have been written with a fancy style. Talking about Harry.

"Thank you for joining our mafia Harry. Thanks for considering the Violet mafia over the Rose one. Makes me very pleased and our members satisfied. Now, for your first mission.

There is a man named Jack which owns a bar with his younger brother, Zick. Both of them are important to me. I need you to catch them for me and bring me them alive.

This mission may be your first but. From what I know, you have a lot of physical strength in you. So luckily for you, I picked the perfect mission to see your loyalty.

But be weary. If what I fear is true, then this mission will lead you to your death if you are not careful. So go now. No excuses.

The prize of doing so would be thirty thousand prons and a farm on the city side. Good luck.

- The boss."

Jack takes a step back. Shocked. Not knowing why the boss of Violet or anyone from Violet would also want him and Zick hostages.

As the step is taken, Jack hears Harry behind him, the horse shouts while running at him with the bullet wounds getting worse on him.

"NYAH! YOU FOOL! You may have seen why I'm here, but now it's time for my reward!! NYAAHH!"

As the horse keeps running, Jack turns his back around with a serious expression on his face. Looking at Harry while responding quietly.

"You should know when to darn shut up you know?"

"Nyah-heh?"

Jack points with his left hand at Harry. Shooting the horse twice with his finger, making the horse fall to the ground next to Jack.

Screaming in terror. Harry looks at Jack, asking for mercy. Making Jack stare at him with anger.

"Please! I-I ask for your mercy! I don't want to die! I'm just two weeks old! Living because of M.O.T.H.E.R made me feel like I-."

Jack cuts off Harry's sentence, shouting. Pointing his left arm at him. Scaring the horse even more.

"Mercy?! I gave you a second darn chance already! You should've just ran away to your DARN boss! But instead, YOU decided to DARN attack me yet AGAIN! Give me ONE DARN REASON to not kill you right now?!!"

Harry mumbles random non existent words out of his mouth from fear, as Jack continues to talk.

"Come on! Give me one. Darn. Reason. One reason to not pull the trigger."

A dark hand grabs Jack's shoulder. Everything pauses in the world surrounding Jack. Hearing a whisper next to him with a creepy voice of a maniac.

"Come on... do it... kill that low, cold blooded, filth as he knows what true fear and terror is before his eyes... do it... shoot as the gear brains get blown out of that dumb, unintelligent, incel looking, dump."

"Wha-what?"

As Jack gets confused. He looks behind him. Seeing nothing. Yet knowing that someone grabbed his and whispered to him.

Looking at Harry again. Making Jack even more confused and shocked. Seeing the horse on the ground, dead, with two more bullet wounds on his head.

"Wha-what the..."

Checking his left hand, seeing that he only has one bullet left. Making it clear that he took the shots.
