Bring weak looking monster on Iron chain with hands tied. The situation is not looking good. There is no time to search for weapon, and I don't have any ammo. If I don't gonna interfere, then they all gonna be turned into the monster. They bring monster to first two peoples. They screamed in fear and agony. Am laugh:
"Look, how all of peoples who helped you gonna suffer, and then turn other of your companions in monsters too.. And this is all your fault."- He is completely crazy. Monster was closer and closer. I throw my gun unto the front door. And Roger's peoples started shooting in it, when they heard knock. And under the sound cover of their shots i dropped knife and get behind one of them and knocked him off Taking his gun and started shooting in Robert's crew. Killing monster too. Robert notice me, and rushed into me, dodging all my shots. And close combat started. He was better then me, in it. And by brute force pressed me. Am laugh
"Ha-ha-ha and there is our last guest. Robert, take care of him!."- Robert in between of hits and said to me:
"Charon! Time to settle score! You were never able to save anyone, and this is your last mission, but I'm giving you the chance to die before your clients. To break your curse."
"Robert, we never ever met, nor I crossed your path. Why are you so obsessed with me?"
"You took my place in this hierarchy! You, fool without experience and skills. There is no way you deserved such status and name!"- His feasts get harder. And every time he landed them, I felt like something inside of was about to blow out of pain. My vision started to blur and lost focus. I slipped on my own knife sending in further. And Robert took it as opportunity, hitting right into my face, I barely stayed on my feet. Getting punch after punch. Barely blocking half of them. Am shouted out:
"Don't kill him, I want to do it myself, for this humiliation, he gave me on our first meeting. But you can broke every bone of his and cause as much pain as you would like!"- And Robert followed his instruction and caught my arm, breaking it. My hand was bent in an unnatural way. My vision blurred. And I almost released scream. But he did not stop and launched his punch into my solar plexus, I lost my breath and fell on my knees. He grabbed my broken arm and pulled. The only thing left for me is keep my mind alive and wait, feeling all the pain. Am came up and grabbed my face:
"And this is legend of mercenaries himself, Charon. How pathetic, but you were so insolent, do you want to beg for forgiveness? I might let you live and suffer, if you want."- I started laugh, through pain and dryness in the throat.
"This is for my boys."- Said Robert and my already broken hand produce cracking sound. Am pulled out Theia's sword and bring it to my neck:
"It's time to say goodbye, but first. We don't gonna ruin a tradition. Charon, must send his allies road under the ground himself."- He happily come to Theia:
"I'll start from you, young one, do you gonna beg me for you li"- He was not able to end his sentence because knife pierced his head. Robert tried to react. But Theia was faster and after pulling knife out, she throw it right into his head. He was able to block it by hand, but it pierced through it. What a monster. I knocked him down and attack him with my healthy arm. He blocked on reflexes and I got my knife back. Striking slash after slash, on him. He pushed me off. But was already surrounded by Theia and others, who was holding his peoples guns. He gave up raising his hands. Theia's father who was unconscious all the way from the prison commanded:
"Don't shoot him! Capture, we shouldn't sink to their level. But I picked up a gun and shoot right into Robert's head. Hiro was stunned and after a second of paralysis. He strike into me throwing a punch into my face, his face was in agony and fear. But Theia stood between us, catching his fist. He was even more in shock:
"Theia, why are you stopping me? He just killed him, without any need! He is just like them, monster!"- Of course he doesn't understand. Theia looked at him with accumulated anger, coldness and frustration answered:
"Do you think that if we kept him alive, he would let us live?"
"But..."-He was hesitant.
"I saw what was outside of this city, outside of this walls, if person there, would live by your ideals, he would be dead and knowing this, you did nothing!"
"But..."
"And you, who commanded Charon to protect me, at any cost, and he did it! But why are you calling him monster now??? And he even saved all of us, who is here, twice!!!"
"Honey, our daughter is right."-supported Ilene.
"I'm sorry... And thank you..."- Hiro apologized. I just tapped him on the shoulder and wandered to the nearest table. Theia followed me. I tried to put my arm back. Theia helped. After it she vanished and come back with brought a compress and tire. She helped to put it on. But after it, I wasn't able to keep my mind awake and fell asleep.
And again, old bad memories. But they weren't clear, all of them was blurred. And I was so happy to not see them, that hell of loosing someone close. And then I saw Theia, and she saved me. Ending my everlasting nightmare. I wake up. The wooden ceiling met me. I looked around and it was different room. I felt pain from inside, I was laying on some kind of bed. And feeling of weight was on my healthy hand. Theia sleep resting her head on it. But she opened her eyes, when felt that I waken up. She pulled her head off and blushed:
"Sorry..."
"I should be the one to apologize, you've been courting me all the time, by what I can see. How much time I slept?'
"Three days."
"Let's grab some food!"- And we went to the main part of the bar.
