5 months ago-
a creepy looking man is on a harvest field. he is completely naked. the man opens his eyes and stands up. the man is on his 30's, but he looks so much older. on the right side of his jaw he has a hideous scar. the scar covers almost half of his face.
the man has short hair. his hair is of a bright black color. he has many gray hairs on the right side of his head. he has a notorious deep eye-bag on his right eye. the man is skinny and tall. he is about 5'10.
the scarred man looks around. there are many bodies around of him. he walks around as he takes some clothes. he is putting on the clothing of the bodies. he steps in front of a mask that only covers the lower half of the face. he takes the mask.
he puts the mask on. the scarred man laughs on a psychotic way. his laughter is loud and terrifying as is his appearance. the scarred man looks at someone hiding. this person is no other than Bird-E, he hides behind a tree.
the scarred man walks in front of him. he points a sword towards him. Bird-E kneels as he lets him know who he is. Bird-E can't believe that this man has come back to life. back from the dead. Bird-E can only picture what this monster wants.
"do I need to called you by your old name? or do you have another name that you prefer to be called? I need to be polite with a comrade."
"the old name. that is the name those who fear me or hated me know. that is the name they need to remember me for. that is the name they will never forget."
"welcome back Mr. Mad-M."
"I came back as an NPC. but worry not. I ain't done with those fuckers, nor am I going to give up even after that horrible death. I came back stronger and stranger."
"I am glad to hear that. it is now that we need to be together more than ever. the game is coming closer to its end. if we win we will accomplish so much."
Mad-M feels rage and fear by thinking of his death. Choco-Coco-Latte crossed a line. Mad-M is thinking of a way to get his revenge. he asks Bird-E. he asked about the things that Karl values the most, or the things closest to his heart.
Mad-M is thinking about destroying. and stepping on the things that Karl loves. he will make sure to push Karl to his limit. soon this devilish man will have his revenge. now the question is if he will succeed. or is he going to fail at the last minute.
Bird-E lets Mad-M know about his plan. in one night he will attack many Guilds. this mass attack won't give time the enemy to react. they will fell all dead. Bird-E's plan is almost perfect and fool proof. jet there is something that he haven't calculated jet.
someone else has a scarier plan on mind. something to do on the same night. Bird-E is unaware of how bad things will end. there is nothing left to do. he forgot the most important thing. he forgot how unexpected humans can be.
lets go back to the now. Mad-M asks Bird-E if he is ready to sacrifice others. how much is he capable of sacrificing. how far is he capable of going. Bird-E seriously thinks of the answer for a moment. he never asked himself that question.
you need to know your limits, before you fight to accomplish your goals. there are some who are unable to achieve their goals, because they lack the nerves of ice to act. this is a good opportunity for Bird-E to reflect on his actions. to reflect on the past and future.
Mad-M knows his limits. a person like him may seem to lack a thing like morality, or to have any limits. jet there is a limit to what Mad-M can tolerate. he knows when to stop, or has an idea of what can be too much. but for the time he doesn't seem like stopping.
Bird-E is thinking seriously about many things. he then swallows saliva. he looks at Mad-M for a second and then he answers. his voice was calm like a whisper. he then looks away thinking about the next step. the next action he must take.
Mad-M understood well what his accomplice said. he misjudge the man in front of him. there is the possibility. there is the probability of Bird-E being scarier. or even more dangerous than Mad-M. eventually Bird-E might become a rock on his way.
there is a deep silence. none of them dares to say anything else. they plan on working together until they can successfully eliminate the Heroes. they are temporary allies. but because they don't trust each other. this alliance can end any time.
there are many others who work with Bird-E. just like Mad-M they are temporal allies. none of them is friends with no one. none of them is sincerely helping each other. at the end of the day. their alliance is a paper castle. one ready to fall at any second.
Bird-E leaves with many ideas on his head. he left thinking about the obvious. and about the probabilities of the struggles and enemies. he is more sure now than ever. he knows that to survive you have to kill. it is kill or be killed.
there is nothing wrong with thinking like that. not on a place like this one. at the end of the day that is what is expected. if you failed to be the bad guy. then you will die like a fool unable to do anything. you have to put everything on the line to survive.
Mad-M is left alone. he stands in there quietly. if he wants to take his revenge on Karl he needs to act smarter this time. this time he will go after those who are important to him. then once Karl is broken. he will laugh at his face.
.....
Mad-M is walking on the streets of the city. there are many people around of him. every step he takes is slow and steady. he has the mask on. the clothing that he is wearing now is peculiar. he has a straitjacket on. he is wearing that mostly as a fashion choice.
he has some big sneakers on. he is wearing some tight jeans. the mask he is wearing has a design. the design is of a smile with stitches on half of the smile. his left eye has a darker tone than his right eye.
Mad-M keeps walking around of the streets. by chance he saw Karl. he follows him to the limits of the city. then Don-Savage and Willow come inside of the city. Karl welcomes them as he offers them food. they accept his offer.
Mad-M follows them like a creepy stalker. he is not a mentally stable mind. he is a bit of a maniac so stalking doesn't even seem strange for him. he walks with caution. every step he takes is as light as a feather. he tries to not be visible walking far from them.
Karl seems to smile at times. he haven't been this optimistic on a while. he usually looks like an edgy-lord or some emo on a rampage. it is a good change to see him like this. it is like if he had let go of most of his rage. of course he is still as scary as ever.
Don-Savage and Willow talk about each other. Karl is basically invisible to them. Karl doesn't mind to be ignore. he looks away pretending to not know. they start to talk about the guild. they even call some guild members.
Mad-M keeps looking at them. he has a sinister smile. there had to be others who had a grudge against them. maybe by finding others willing to fight them. or just by himself with his brains. no matter the method. somehow he will get his goal done.
like a sinister shadow or a phantom of the past. like a part of the street. Mad-M stays in there for a while just observing the enemy. then he decides to leave. he walks away carefully without being seen. as he leaves he keeps thinking of his revenge.
Don-Savage and Willow are eating pozole. Karl eats pork rinds with a green hot sauce. Willow invited the others to eat with them. but some are on a side quest out of the city. and the others are eating tacos somewhere. it is only the three of them for now.
since their arrival on the city. neither Don-Savage nor Willow had talked about a past. about the things he had to do. it seems like that theme is something for another day. they know it was necessary. jet they blame themselves for it.
Karl wants to slap the shit out of them. he didn't mind to be ignored at first. but now it is getting ridiculous. Karl tells himself to be the better person. he tells himself to let it go. he just stands up quietly. he turns around. he sees a familiar face not so far away.
Psychotic Twin enters inside of a store. Karl is just staring at her without moving. he then looks away. he pretends like he didn't saw a thing. he laughs awkwardly. then he realizes that Willow and Don-Savage are looking at him. it is written on their faces.
"do you know how twisted that is. bro you tortured her and her brother the first time you met. don't tell me you are actually falling for her."
"WHAT? that is bullshit. i-it was a coincidence. yeah, it is just that I was approving of her fashion choices."
"oh no, he is the cliche idiot who doesn't know is falling hard until it is too late. can we change this cliche romance idiot for the sadistic bastard."
"motherfucking language lady. I am no bastard. and no. I haven't fallen for anyone. it is just that she makes me feel uncomfortable. that is all. that is it. now can you two keep ignoring me while you talk about your disgraceful past."
"don't waste your time with that one sister. he won't understand his own emotions. he is the typical idiot who struggles with expressing his emotions. just ignore him."
Karl looks away. he sees the phantom that torments him daily. she is walking around of the streets without looking at him. Karl tells himself that he can't love anyone else. it is impossible to love again. not when he is tormented like this.
those siblings have to be wrong. they must have mistaken. Karl doesn't have the emotional capacity to love again. not when he haven't forgotten about his former lover. he haven't stop loving her. it hurts every day when he sees her.
then he hears Psychotic Twin's voice. the phantom is gone in seconds. a tear falls from Karl's face and he is unable to move. Willow and Don-Savage are shocked. they saw Choco-Coco 'The Sadistic' with teary eyes. they are surprise to learn that he is human.
Karl stands up. he starts to walk with no clear destination. he just wants to walk. he tries to forget about his worries. he tries to forget what bothers him. he looks at the sky. he hears a familiar voice. in seconds Psychotic Twin is by his side.
Psychotic Twin yields at him. she haven't forgiven him jet. she makes that clear. she then starts to talk about her brother. she smiles as she keeps talking about her brother. Psychotic Twin keeps talking.
Karl just looks at her for a second. he then smiles. Karl isn't sure of the word love, but he can see that she is important to him. she is at the moment a good friend. a friend that brings him peace.
