Part 1: Hunters and The Hunted
Arc 6: Kuragari.
(The next morning)
(Michael arrives outside the burned down Reaper Hunting Co.)
Michael: (He walks over to a firefighter) What happened here?
Firefighter: Ah. A gas leak, we get this often. Support gave in, entire damn building came down.
Michael: What about everyone that was inside!?
Firefighter: We haven't found any bodies. Not yet, at least.
Michael: What do you mean, not yet!?
Firefighter: Listen, it's a three story building. We've barely made it through the first floor, we'll inform you if we find something. In the meantime you just do whatever the hell you normally do! Leave the job to the professionals!
(A man starts clapping his hands and Michael turns around to look at him)
The Man In the red hoodie: Aah, the vessels of young boys who fell into the swirling pool of possibilities. Only for it to end like this.
Michael: What do you want.
The man: (He takes off the hoodie revealing his Golden Blonde neatly trimmed middle parted hair and Oceanic Blue eyes) Now that isn't the way to say hello to family, is it Michael?
Michael: Hello... Azrael.
Azrael: It's a pleasure seeing you again, brother. It's been a while.
(Meanwhile)
(Inside a dark, damp jail cell, two guards are standing outside the cell. Location: Unknown)
(Louis, Peter, Annah, and Gabriela are sitting around a table, talking with each other. While Able is unconscious and lying on a jail bed)
Louis: Who knows, maybe Samuel put us behind bars. Can never know what that sick bastard has planned for us, now!
Annah: (She is holding tightly onto a pillow) NO! I-... I mean... no. He wouldn't... just decide to hurt everyone he cares about. Not like that...
Louis: Well wake up Disney Princess. This is reality! People change! That isn't the same happy-chappy short guy you fell in love with!
Annah: You're... YOU'RE WRONG!!! He'll never... he'll never...
Able: (He suddenly jumps awake and starts looking around the room) Where are we? My back's killing me.
Gabriela: That's what we're all still trying to figure out.
Able: Ah... Ren! That bastard...
(The door leading to the jail cells opens and Ren walks inside)
Ren: Well, it seems everyone's finally awake. How was your naps?
Able: Ren... never had a good feeling about you. Just why did you do this?
Ren: You really don't remember, how you and Sam tortured me!
Able: Bullshit! We didn't torture you at all! Threaten, sure! But not torture.
Ren: You looked down on me! You all did! That's when the Anarchist Society came to me, if I could be a double agent for them, then they'd ensure me my freedom from the law! So, yeah! (He takes out the keys to Kane's car from his jacket) I'ma enjoy my sweet, sweet American Liberty.
Able: Ren! Where is Elizabeth!!!?
(A grin merely grows on Ren's face)
Able: (He in the blink of an eye, grabs Ren's neck through the cell bars) Where is she!!!?
(The guards point their rifles at Able)
Guard #1: Let him go!!! Or else we will open fire!!!
Able: Shut up!!! Point your weapons somewhere else!!! (He bashes Ren's head against the bars, making his nose bleed) So this is how you treat us you little bastard!!!? We gave you a home, a roof over your head and a bed to sleep in!!! Hell, Sam even gave you an Elementa!!! And this is how you repay us!!! You better tell me what I want to know!!! Then I'll send you to Hell, PERSONALLY!!! And I'll carve my name into your chest, so that Satan will know who sent you!!! (Ren touches the metal cell bars and uses his Elementa to send a burst of electricity, shocking Able. But Able just stands still, the electricity doing nothing to him) You really think a small bit of current will hurt me!!!!? I swear to all Heaven above and Hell below!!! If something happened to her!!! I shall forever hunt you till the ends of the Earth, Ren!!! (He summons Excalibur and starts driving it into the left side of Ren's chest) Where is she!!!?
Guard #2: We will shoot!!!
Able: (He uses Excalibur to cut the barrels of the rifles in half) What did I say!!!? Where, Ren!!!?
Ren: (He starts literally pissing his pants) I- I don't know!
Able: I didn't hear you, boy!!!
Ren: I don't know!!! My only objective was to get information on you all and that's it!!! They didn't tell me anything about what they were gonna do with Elizabeth!!!
Able: (He lets go off of Ren) You better hope those legs move faster than the speed of light. Because I will hunt you, until you fall off the flat earth.
Ren: The Earth isn't fla-...
Able: (He smashes Ren's face into his knee) It was a joke of your stupidity, idiot!!!
Ren: Right... right. Make sure they don't leave these cells. Someone will pick them up, eventually.
(Ren starts walking out of the room)
Able: *Tch* bastard... There's gotta be a way out of here!
Gabriela: We've tried using Magica, we get nothing. They must have a Magica canceling rune or Reaper trap somewhere.
(Able swings at the bars using Excalibur but he only gets knocked back by a Magica shield)
Able: Fuck!!! (He sits down on the bed) What do we do now?
Peter: Guess, we just wait until someone comes for us.
(Suddenly gunshots start ringing from upstairs and a man screams "It's... it's HIM". The gunshots are start disappearing one by one, until there are none left)
Guard #1: What the hell's going on up there!!!?
Guard #2: Well don't just stand there!!! Go look at it!!!
(The guard starts shaking as he walks up the stairs and out of the door)
Guard #1: He's... he's gone!!!
Another man upstairs: Reeaaally?
(The guard's decapitated head flies towards the door and slowly rolls down the stairs)
(The man upstairs starts slowly walking towards the door while whistling the opening riff to "Hail to The King" by Avenged Sevenfold)
Guard #1: (He points his shotgun at the door, his arms shaking with fearful tears in his eyes) S- stay the hell back!!!
(The man walks into the room and it turns out to be none other than Sam)
Sam: I wanted to sing "Bury the Light" from Devil May Cry 5. But I'm not edgy enough for that.
Able: Sam...
Sam: Oh, hey guys! Are you gonna shoot me now, or just stand there pointing that gun at me!? (The guard fires at Sam, but he just dodges the shot) Called it... (He grabs the shotgun out of the guard's hands) Thank you!
(Sam kicks the guard's legs making him fall on his knees. He puts the shotgun in the guard's mouth, before cocking it and blowing the guard's head off)
Sam: So... (He throws the shotgun on the floor, he is completely covered in blood) how have my favorite Reapers, Light Witch and Royal Demon been doing?
Louis: Samuel... you son of a bitch.
