Chapter 4 - Pendragon.

Part 0: Beginning and the End

Arc 1: New Reapers.

(Inside a morgue, Suzuki Yamada inspects a body, the skin torn clean off and the jaw snapped off. The body is possibly two-to-three days old. He turns the body to it's back and sees that the spinal cord is completely exposed. He reaches past the spinal cord, past the rib cage towards the heart.)

Suzuki: (He has a surgery mask over his mouth) Hmm, the lungs are... missing? (He reaches in deeper past the rib cages) The heart too?! (He reaches around past the spinal cord) Kidneys?! The liver?!

(A man walks into the morgue, with dark brown wild hair and sunglasses covering his eyes. He is dressed in a white shirt, over a black vest, with dark blue jeans and red crocks. He stands at 5'9ft (175cm) tall and he has a muscular build and stature. He puts a shopping bag down on a table.)

The man: Yo, Yamada-... (He sees Suzuki's hand inside the body) HOLY SHIT!!!

Suzuki: Calm yourself, Aragoto. It is for research.

Aragoto Gogo: CALM MYSELF?! You're sticking your hand inside a dead person!!! Couldn't you just cut him open?!

Suzuki: The Court of Reapers, wants this body intact. (He takes his hand out of the dead body and takes off his bloody surgery gloves.) This is my only way of studying it.

Aragoto: You couldn't have found a better way?! Do you have no honor for the dead!

Suzuki: I have plentiful of respect for the fallen.

Aragoto: Oh well show it to me then!!! Proof or it's a spoof!!!

Suzuki: All of his vital organs are missing...

Aragoto: Huh?!

Suzuki: Heart, lungs, liver, skin, kidneys... I'm guessing the brain and spleen are missing too. This couldn't have been done by a human.

Aragoto: WELL I GUESS THAT MUCH IS PRETTY OBVIOUS!

Suzuki: And no creature or "monster" that I know of could have done this too. The organs were removed from the inside without any cuts or wounds. They were removed perfectly, like an apple being plucked from a tree.

Aragoto: And...?

Suzuki: No creature that I know of could be able to do this.

Aragoto: (He snaps his fingers and points at Suzuki.) So a dude did it!

Suzuki: (He seems confused at Aragoto's proposal.) No, a man did not do this.

Aragoto: I know a dude did, I can just tell. I can see the future, as proof I know someone's going to lose a finger today... hey is that a barbeque that I smell? And is Bon Jovi playing somewhere. I have very good hearing.

Suzuki: Yes, I believe one of the Pendragons is holding a barbeque. The "Meat Master" as he calls himself. (He turns his head away from the body and sees that Aragoto is just gone.) I was going ask him for help with the body. (He snaps on a fresh pair of gloves) *Sigh* I will do it myself then.

(Outside the morgue, Aragoto is running straight towards the barbeque. Not giving a single damn about the people in his way.)

Aragoto: (He runs past Sam, but quickly loses his focus on the barbeque to look at Sam as he runs past him. He looks confused and stunned at Sam.) *Thinking to himself* Huh?! I- Ikari?!

(As he looks at Sam he trips over a rock and falls head first to the ground. Sam just looks on in confusing at Aragoto.)

Sam: (He walks over to Aragoto and starts helping him up.) Uuuuhh... you alright pal? That looked like it hurt.

Aragoto: (He stands in front of Sam, rubbing the back of his head.) Yeah it's just... what's your name?

Sam: Samuel Logan Reyes... everyone calls me Sam and only Mrs. Pendragon can call me Logan.

Aragoto: (He grabs Sam by the collar) Bullshit!!! I know the essence of Wrath from anywhere! The smell of burning trees and sawdust... it's practically emanating from you! Come on then sing your Requiem!!!

Sam: (He looks confused and a tad bit concerned) Is this a test or something?

Aragoto: No it's not a test!!!

Sam: Oh so you're too dumb to come up with questions, so... it's a demand?

Aragoto: WHAT?!

Sam: (He waves his hands around) Okay I'll stop hurting your head... (Aragoto lets go of him. He walks away from Aragoto giving a small wave to him as he heads to the barbeque.) See ya.

Aragoto: Something... isn't right about that kid.

Sam: (He walks over to a Maroon Red 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, the passenger windows are partially blacked out and the license plate reads "ALWAYS US.") Wait a minute... (He crouches next to the driver's seat door and leans his ear against the door) Is that Bon Jovi? (He stands up and knocks against the car window. The windows roll down and... inside is a man with ray ban aviators over his eyes, with dark brown stylish crew cut hair. He looks around the age of 19. He is wearing brown leather jacket over a dark red open-collar shirt, with navy blue jeans and black boots. He signing along to Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive" with a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey in his hand. On the dashboard of the car are several LEGO Minifigures clued to stick to it, along with a bobble head of Wolverine from Marvel Comics in the middle of the dashboard.) KANE!!!?

Kane Pendragon: (He looks over at Sam.) Sam!!! SAM?! (His sunglasses fall down revealing his amber colored eyes.) Pardon the fuck!!! What are you doing here?!

Sam: Well what is Jensen Ackles' lookalike doing here?! Sitting in his car, drinking whiskey and singing along to classic rock... that's older than you!!! (He tries to look behind Kane) And that's where my bobble head went!!!

Kane: (He looks at his bottle of Jack Daniel's) What are they putting in this stuff? What are you doing here? Or ARE you even here?

Sam: I just died!!!

Kane: How?!

Sam: I GOT HIT BY A TRUCK.

Kane: Well here's hoping that you losing half your brains made you smarter. (He takes the keys out of the ignition switch and starts to get out of the car.) Well no wonder why you call me Jensen Ackles' lookalike... because I have to deal with a fool called Sam all day too. Like honestly, I leave for A DAY and you've done gone and killed yourself. (He stands in front of Sam, revealing his 5'8ft height and average stature and build.) Yeah you're Slogan alright, you're still as short as my chances of getting a badass assassin girl.

Sam: What did I tell you about calling me that? Slogan is the 13 year old that hid in his room all day. I'm not him.

Kane: You're one person and a strange one at that, Slogan.

Sam: (He starts walking away from Kane) Yeah well at least I'll actually PAY my taxes someday.

Kane: HAAA!!! I have one thing to say, "bet."

(Sam walks over to the barbeque and sees another familiar face, standing in front of the grill with a yellow apron that reads "Meat Master" on it.)

Sam: Oh come on... ABLE?!

Able Pendragon: (He has long, well-kept black hair that falls naturally back. His eyes are a similar amber to Kane's however a slight bit lighter. He stands at an impressive 6'4ft height and is heavily muscularly built, his shoulders and chest are large and his general stature is... "how the fuck do I put this into words? Oh a wall of MUSCLE". He is the age of 18 and like Kane he is of English descent, but he speaks with a rough and "cool" voice like the badass main character of a video game. Underneath the apron he is wearing a red sleeved shirt, however the right sleeve is cut off right where his forearm starts. His pants are peanut brown jeans with a silver belt strapped on the left knee. He has red sports shoes on his feet and he has a large scar seemingly caused by a deep cut from a sword all along his right arm even up to the shoulder.) Samuel?! Hahaha you son of gun!!! (He shakes Sam's hand) What are you doing here?

Sam: Well Kane asked me the same thing and I'll say the same thing. I. Was. Hit. By. A. Truck.

Able: Well you're one unlucky bastard. Instead of getting an ecchi harem, my dream I might add. You're stuck here as a Reaper. You're a weird person Sam.

Sam: I could say the same about you with the height, the pervertedness, to the puppe-... (He notices Able has the puppet of a Vampire Frog in his jean pockets) You didn't...

Able: Oh why, yes I did.

Sam: why did you bring that here in the first place?

Able: (He puts the puppet over his right hand) It's for boosting joy around the barbeque!!! (He brings the puppet right up in front of Sam's face and mimics a soft innocent voice.) Look Samuel!!! It's your old pal, Frogcula!!

Sam: Able... you have FIVE SECONDS. To get that dollar store Kermit out of my face, STARTING NOW.

Able: (Still talking in the puppet voice.) Oh don't be such a downer Samuel! Cheer up and see the brightest side of life!!!

Sam: FIVE...

Able: Now let's hop on the train and go on a grandiose adventure of FUN.

Sam: FOUR...

Able: We'll go to the academia of froggies!

Sam: THREE-TWO-ONE. That does it!!!

(Sam grabs a knife off of the table and cuts off the head of the puppet... and Able's middle finger)

Able: (Holding onto his hand, trying to hold back the pain) WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!

Sam: WHY WAS YOUR FINGER UP THERE!!!

Able: I WAS USING IT FOR BALANCE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH-
