"Uncle… Jerry…."
Xavier says emotionless
-plop-
A single tear falls from Xavier's eye…
"huh?"
Xavier touches its trail confused….
"It's time to go back home."
Jeremy says
"Xavi…"
He says warmly to a shook Xavier who stands in disbelief!!!!!
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"HMMM…"
Todo thinks in a stunned silence looking curiously up at the man!!!!!
…
"Wha-Ho-Whe--""
Xavier finds himself at a loss for words.
Incapable of constructing a sentence due to all the emotions he now feels.
And who can blame him.
Despite all that's happened.
Despite all the pain and suffering.
And the growth attained through it.
A figment of his not so distant but now definite past stands before him.
A remnant of memories he wishes he could forget.
Memories he blamed himself for over and over is now…
Here…
But more than that…
Alive.
Here… and alive.
(sighs) "hmph."
Jeremy smiles warmly to himself sighing in relief.
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"I'll explain it all later."
Jeremy says
"For now let's get you out of there."
He says starting for Xavier's cell
"Hol-hold on!!"
Keith shouts nervously interrupting
"A-Aren't you forgetting something?!?"
He says waving his gun frantically.
"…"
"Oh right, Mr Winds."
Jeremy says his tone unimpressed
"E-exac--"
"Thank you for taking care of Xavier till now…"
Jeremy cuts Keith off plastic smile and all!!!
"But I'll take it from here."
He says coldly
"I am his uncle you see."
He says smiling menacingly
"Tch!"
Keith clicks his tongue frustrated
"Yeah we all got that point by now Captain Obvious."
Keith says
"But what makes you think I'll just give him up??"
He says arrogantly
(sighs) "haaaaah…"
Jeremy sighs
"That boy…"
He begins
"Who you so rudely decided to abduct--"
"Ab-abduct?!?"
Jeremy continues before Keith cuts him off too!
"Uncle huh??"
Keith says mockingly
"Hey, hey, hey now!"
He shouts
"Just who does this old guy think he is?!?"
Keith says arrogantly
"To think you'd barge in here and start making orders."
He says
"Do you even know where you are??"
He asks arrogantly raising his gun at a still Jeremy
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Aha--"
"AHAHHAHHAHAHA!!!!"
Keith laughs maniacally
"Listen old man."
He begins
"I have no idea who you are or what you think you're doing but this place…"
He says
"This place is owned by Gomorrah."
He says arrogantly
"And If you had half a brain..."
"Which sad to say am sure you don't."
"You'd have realized what that meant by now."
He says belittling Jeremy watches him smoking
"But then again you did say you were related to the kid."
He says
"So I'll take it you're just as clueless."
He laughs at Jeremy
"…"
"Keith--"
"Quiet you!!!"
Xavier tries to talk but is cut off by Keith
"So listen here ehy…"
Keith begins
"You walk out the way you came."
He says
"And I promise I won't hurt the brat."
He says
"Okay?"
Keith says smirking at an expressionless Jeremy
"…"
-silence-
"…"
(smokes)
Jeremy smokes
"I have a better idea…"
He says silently
"Huh?"
Keith exclaims not having heard him
"Is this guy okay?"
He shouts mocking Jeremy
"Hey you what did you just--"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just then a mini explosion cuts Keith off!!!!
("!!!")
"Ack!"
"ARGH!!!"
Keith and Xavier exclaim in slowed reactions as they shield their eyes from the sudden burst of wind and sand.
The sound reverberates around the room as all the sand is flung into the air in a quick motion.
And as the sand falls humbly to the ground…
In an instant the distance between Keith and Jeremy is covered!
"huh?"
Keith exclaims shielding his face
"WHOA!!!!"
Keith shouts in shock staring up to see Jeremy's face staring down at his as the sand settles!!!!!
"!!!!!!!!!!!!BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!"
His gun goes off at point blank range!!!!!
"HAAA!!!!"
"HAAAAAAA!!!!"
Keith exclaims
"WHAT THE HELL?!?!"
He thinks to himself shook
(coughing) "uncle Jerry…"
Xavier thinks in confusion after the gunshot!
"UNCLE JERRY!!!!"
He shouts.
"Huh??"
Keith looks to Xavier before looking back forward.
"…"
"ha-hahaha…"
He laughs awkwardly
"That's right I got him."
He thinks to himself
"Is it even worth going through all this for a kid?!?"
Keith thinks
"My own parents abandoned me in the outer-lands forget uncles."
He thinks
"Tch…"
"Well whatever I'm sure i got him."
Keith thinks to himself at ease
"…."
"AHA!!!"
Todo shouts breaking the tense atmosphere!!!
"SO THAT'S HOW IT IS!!!"
He shouts as the attention quickly shifts to him!
"Huh what are you?--"
"mr todo?"
Keith and Xavier respond in tandem
"I think I'd take another look before I bawl my eyes out kiddo."
Todo smiles excitedly to a quivering Xavier
"What is he--"
Keith thinks turning his head forward to take another look…
"…"
("!!!")
"AAAAH!!!!!!"
He shouts falling to the ground
"…"
("PTING!!!!!!!")
The sound of the bullet hitting the ground echoes the room!!!
"How rude Mr Winds…"
Jeremy says as the dust clears!!!
"U-uncle Jerry!!!"
Xavier shouts
"HO-HOW ARE YOU STILL--"
"Y'know…"
Jeremy begins to say while lighting a cigar
"It's common courtesy to let your elders speak first."
He says gripping Keith by the collar and lifting him up with his free hand!
"AAAhh---ARRGHHH!!"
He exclaims as he is raised!!!
"Tha-that was point blank range!!!"
Keith thinks
"H-How did he?!!--"
He thinks to himself in fear as Jeremy tightens his grip
"Uncle Jerry…"
Xavier thinks confused.
"MR TODO!!!"
Xavier shouts.
"hmmm??"
"W-WHAT'S GOING ON?!?"
Xavier asks
"Hmmm…"
Todo smirks to himself
"Seems I'm the only one who caught it then huh?"
Todo says smirking to himself
"MR TODO!!!!"
Xavier shouts
"Hehe…"
"Relax kid I'll explain."
Todo says smirking
"Wh-what is that man talking about?!?!"
Keith thinks.
"See our gentleman here."
Todo begins
"Your uncle that is."
He says
"It's quite simple really."
Todo says smirking proudly
"What he did was…"
He says
"I mean it really isn't all that--
"TODO!!!"
"Arrghhh he caught the bullet okay."
("!!!")
"WHAAAAAAATTTT!!!!!"
Todo says bluntly as Keith shouts echoing Xavier's thoughts!!!!
"Ca-caught the bullet?"
Xavier thinks confused turning his gaze back to Jeremy and Keith
"Hey Hey Hey don't fool around like that."
Keith shouts
"I-I mean… I mean…"
"That's impossible right?!?"
He says quivering in disbelief
"ARGHH!!!"
Keith exclaims fear at a high
"That was point blank range."
He continues to say panicked
"There's no way he'd have enough time to move his hands that quick!!!"
He shouts to Todo!
"…"
-silence-
"…"
(smokes)
"Shhhh…."
Jeremy signals to Keith to stay silent after taking a puff!
"…"
"Hmmmm…"
"Who said anything about hands?"
Todo responds with a big smirk
"What are you--"
"He used his teeth kiddo."
Todo says pointing to his own teeth and interrupting Keith
"What?"
Keith says subconsciously…
"WHAAAAAAT!!!!"
He shouts as his brain process what he just heard!!!!
"HEY c'mon!"
Keith begins in a panic
"Don't be ridiculous!"
He shouts
"That's impossible!"
He cries
"I mean theres no way he could have…"
"Right???"
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Hmmm so you really did see."
Jeremy says bluntly throwing the cigar butt to the ground
"Th-theres no way?!?!"
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!"
Keith thinks cowardly looking forward to a smirking Jeremy
"how did he…"
"ah.."
Xavier thinks in a eureka moment turning his head quickly back at Todo
"Hmmm…"
"Seems you figured it out too"
Todo says seeing the expression on Xavier's face
"Huh kid?"
He smiles in thought
"That's right Xavier!!!"
"You got it!"
Todo suddenly shouts
"Your Uncle is a (souls) USER!!!!!!"
He shouts grabbing the attention of the whole room!!!!
"S-souls?!?!"
Keith thinks in shock!!!!!
"Y-you bastard!!"
Keith grunts out to a smiling Jeremy
"So you can use that too…"
Xavier thinks
"Uncle Jerry."
He thinks to watching on in awe as the sand in the room begins to swirl around Jeremy!!
"TCH. Ofcourse!!"
Keith thinks sharply
"A (souls) user."
He thinks more alert grabbing on to Jeremy's arm that holds him.
"Hmm."
Todo exclaims his eyes sharpening as he stares at Jeremy.
"Ha-HAHA!!"
"Very good a (souls) user."
Todo shouts
"That explains how you managed to get this far."
He says smiling at Jeremy
"And as for why you're here."
"Well we couldn't have asked for a better reason."
He says smirking
"Still though of all the people to have you…"
Todo laughs out in disbelief much to Xavier's surprise
"…"
"mr Todo what do you?"
Xavier begins
"I mean…"
"Our Saviour here is actually more popular than you know."
Todo shouts excited to the room laughing
"Ladies and gentlemen."
"The legendary Jeremy Blanche of the Six!!!!"
Todo shouts gesturing to Jeremy!!!!
"T-THE SIX?!?!"
Keith thinks quickly turning his head to Jeremy!!!!!
"…"
"Hmph."
Jeremy smirks
