A man walks up and down on the terrace, looking worried about something. Well, he just lost all his money on gambling. That might not be just the problem.
Suddenly, five armed men and a person with a hardened expression run behind him. They look pissed and start screaming.
"Hey bastard, give my money back"
The man looks at them with a disgusted face. Looking a little bit tensed he said
"Jerrrrrryyyyyy, nice to meet you too. Well, y'know, I have a little surprise for you."
"What now, you bloody Trickster? This is why I hate you people"
"Ehhhhh, I thought we were good friends, I'm hurt now"
The man suddenly changed his nonchalant expression into a serious one. In an instant, he shot something that looked like a beam of light, straight to 'Jerry', blowing one of his arms off.
Jerry screams in pain and sees him smirk again.
"Guards, GET HIM!!!"
The man looks at them in a cool tone,
"Nah man, I don't have time for this"
He takes a grappling hook from his backpack and shoots it at another building.
It drops down.
He looks at the guards. They look at him and start laughing.
"Boy, you can't use a grappling hook?"
The man looks annoyed, says
"Yeah, I'll use my other weapon."
The guards get alerted, and they make a defensive formation. The man looks at them and taps his legs. And he starts running. The guards, looking at him confused
"Just so you know, this is a 40 storied building"
The man just runs, and the guards chase him down. Then he jumps. The guards stop at the edge of the building, and they peep down.
The man was not there, he was hiding beneath the ledge with the grappling hook. Jerry, in a fit of anger
"I will find you, just wait, Jasper"
Jasper sighs in relief
"That buffoon cannot find me. "
Jasper then looks down, fearing the height, his grip loosens
"No,no,no, aaahhhhh" Thud
Then Jasper falls.
.
.
.
He wakes up in a place filled with tools and turns to a voice.
"Y'know, I won't be saving your ass every single time"
"Ehhhhh? I never asked you to save me.."
"Yeah, right.."
Jasper then wakes up from the bed
"Uzair, I need to talk about something important, with you"
Uzair rolls his eyes at him
"Is it about her?"
"Yes"
"Jasper, forget her, you won't meet her again."
"Probably yes, but.."
Suddenly, the doorbell rings. Uzair picks up a weapon from the drawer. Jasper breathes heavily and drinks a healing potion. Then Uzair opens the door. Turned out to be a pizza delivery guy.
"Sir, that'll be 100 units."
"But, we didn't order a piz.."
The pizza delivery guy stabs Uzair with a weapon. Uzair looks at him. Smirks and punches his face. The pizza delivery guy falls, writhing in pain. Turns out Uzair already had his weighted vest which acted as a barrier.
"Jasper, help," Uzair said
"Here you go" Jasper who already had a rope in his hand offered it to Uzair.
.
.
"Now speak, otherwise my friend will have to speak," Jasper asks the Pizza delivery guy, munching on the Pizza. "I won't hurt you because I believe what you say"
The delivery guy's eyes gleamed and then he turned to Uzair, who was sharpening his dagger. The delivery guy was scared of his dagger. "This guy might just kill me, I gotta be careful." Then he turned to Jasper, who looked at him with his convincing eyes.
"Sir, I was forced into this, the master wanted both your heads" the Pizza guy's voice changed
"Who do you mean by master?" Jasper asked him.
"It was Raul Kamur," He said
"What does that Old man want with us now?" Uzair said, looking pissed
"No, more importantly, what should we do with you" said Uzair cracking his knuckles
"Please spare me, Sirs, I have a family" Pizza guy terrified by the aura of the two men
"I just know what to do with you, hehehe" Jasper said, looking like a maniac.
"The good cop bad cop routine works every single time. hehe" Jasper thought to himself and looked at Uzair, who also thought the same thing.
.
.
.
The delivery guy came back to Raul's Mansion, it was filled with many artifacts for display, many servants were working here and there, and multiple guards patrolling the perimeter. Upon the Magnificent Throne was Raul who seemed to be expecting something, while the pizza delivery guy knelt on one leg in front of him.
"Master here I am," said the delivery guy
"Those damned PRESERVATORS, they do not seem to be convinced with whatever I say. Anyways, what are you here for, peasant? " Raul seemed frustrated.
"They got away," The delivery guy said, terrified.
"What!!!" Raul screamed, seeming angry.
The whole room fell quiet. The guards themselves started shivering due to the immense pressure of those words.
In the distance was a silhouette of two men, one walking nonchalantly and the other, seriously.
"HEY GEEZER," Jasper said, "Did ya miss us??"
