New in Town Intermission [Chapter XII]

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

The darkness landed several miles from where he took off leaving the his carnage behind along with the people who wished to stop and aid him individually. The area was stirring with sirens and searching for the man behind the murder of a couple dozen people, the destruction left behind him pulling a helicopter to the ground, and the damage to several blocks worth of buildings.

He, however, had no reason to give himself in. His cloths had changed his hair was pulled back into a small pony tail, he now wore no jacket just a white dress shirt and black jeans with a set of cowboy boots that had spurs on them. Gabe walked right past several lookouts without them bothering with him, he blended into several crowds as he walked.

Eventually he cut a corner straight into a tavern looking for a place to rest. As he entered he noticed several people sitting their gossiping about what had happened today. He walked up to the corner bar and spoke to the lady behind it, "I'm looking for a room." He laid several bills on the counter and she escorted him up the stairs and into a room.

He sat there for a moment becoming slightly restless. He heard many voices in his head, the insanity crept out, 'Why are you just sitting there? Are you worthless enough not to continue your mission? That goddess didn't scare you did she?'

Gabe looked up and lifted his hand flipping off the man sitting at the corner table across the room. The man was wearing victorian era cloths, black pants, brown boots, a red trench coat, orange glasses, a red top hat. "I have no desire to clash with those aiding this realm. Infact-"

'What kind of pussy shit was that?' The man stood up and as he entered the light his entire being change into a fully armored man, stubble, long black hair, it was the same man who brought death upon many in the cities near Domino and the lands of the Ajerians. 'I have slain gods, I have murdered entire legions of people with the swing of my sword. I faced an Angel holding the weapons of the gods and fought her to a stalemate. And you let a goddess stop you... because you're being nice? Because she asked nicely?'

"You know what," Gabe stood up glaring into the mans eyes. "Fuck you. I'm going to go drink you away mother fucker."

The man watched Gabe waltz to the door before he burst like the shadow he was, 'You are weak. For the sake of both of us, I hope you figure out what you are.'

Gabe went down the stairs and plopped himself onto a stool. The same girl who escorted him to his room took his order. "Bruichladdich straight, no rocks. If I'm going to die tonight, I want to make sure I do it right."

[frosty225]

There was a slight chime of a small bell as the door opened and hit it. In walked a tired and weary Daikus along with three others who were obviously humans. All of them came in carrying dufflebags and the like, one a blonde female walked over to order a room for the four.

Daikus himself took his things and headed straight for the bar managing to sit a seat away from the man who had entered a few minutes ago. "Suicide, strong, no ice." He stated simply before begining to relax in the chair. Their entire time just trying to get to the tavern was a bitch with checkpoints and the like. But something kept pulling at him, all the chaos and destruction the soldiers were saying was caused by one man.

It sounded familiar in two instances in two different worlds...

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

Not even two seconds after he ordered the strongest thing he could think of someone else tried. The lady was confused and slightly taken back, "I'm sorry, but you both know that you cannot get Alcohol within' the city limit right?"

Gabe blink at her, "Are you fucking kidding me? Do you know what I've been through today? How much shit I've had to put up with? A fuckin' helicopter couldn't stop me from... Never mind." He waved his hands at her as he got up, "I'm guessing I can light up at least?"

"Go ahead. This is a tavern."

"No it's not. It's bullshit, that's what it is."

He pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it off one of the candles in the room and just stood there taking a glimpse at the new comers to the 'crowded' room. Granted the room was only crowded now because of them.

[frosty225]

Daikus just stared at the bitch behind the counter, he went through all that shit, died twice, ending up in a warring world, then a world where fucking man eating zombies exist just to come here and get denied alchohol. His trigger finger was itching really badly right now.

He just shook his head and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one up. "They just wanted to stop here for the night... stupid fucks..."

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

"You seem familiar some how" Gabe stared at Daikus taking a long drag from his cigarette. There was laughter in his head roaring loudly causing him to lose track of his thought. It's funny to see him here. He seems to be following me.

Gabe bent his hand back burning his palm with the cigarette silencing the voices running through his head. He brought it to his lips and took another drag, "What's your story. You seem dead set on the same thing I am, getting shit faced and not giving a damn about anything around us."

[frosty225]

"Me? psh," He shook his head. "It's a long story," he took a hit from his cigarette. "I come from a bastard half demon son and a vampiric slut who was the No life king's original sire. Ended up dying to go back to my world's version of hell to fuck somethings up, then a few months down the road I end up dying again in that same hell, only to wake up in a world with things called Judgement and Ajerians, manage to get the fuck out of there," He paused taking another drag and blowing out the smoke. "Only to end up in some post appocalyptic world that comes right out of some shit that seems like George E. Romeo's wet dream."

He stopped looking over towards the bartender, "Water, or whatever I don't really give a shit."

Turning back to Gabe, he continued, "Met a kid there, who introduced me to the three I walked in with, we got out of that world and ended up here. I'm just trying to get back home, that simple." He took one last hit then put out his cigaratte, "You?"

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

He shrugged, "I have no history." Of course hew as lying he had so much history but how could this person understand what he was. "No, I do. I am not a real person. This is the manifestation of several people in one body with one personality... No two personalities but with one in control."

Gabe dropped the cigarette and rubbed it onto the wooden floor with his foot putting it out while the tavern wench had her back to him getting the other man water. Gabriel put both of his hands in his pockets.

"I am Gabriel, the product of having several insanity based personalities put together. I was recently woken up as this body was attempting to fuse together to create the perfect murderer. But I was woken up before the most powerful and strongest being was fused together."

He paused and walked to a chair sitting in it. He noticed several people were listening to him as well. Gabe leaned back and put one of his legs onto the top of his knee, "I have a thousand memories from about six people and I don't know what any of it means. One of these men was a savior who killed the undead for a living. The other was a murderer who tore apart legions of werewolves and vampires on his path to liberating who he was. And another one of them was so insane he killed anyone who looked at him wrong. There's also one who protected a girl, he seems to be the most tame one of them all.

"However, the one who hasn't joined with the others haunts me and my choices by taunting me when I do something he doesn't approve of. Like walking away from someone instead of confronting them head on like a fool. I think he's looking for me to prove myself before he becomes one with me." He put his hands together resting his elbows on the different sides of the chair.

[frosty225]

"I knew someone like that," He paused, "The one who killed you if you looked at him wrong. Met the fucker in mountains while hunting down a vampire bitch who turned out to be my mother." He shook his head and put his hand up, "Let's just go into that... point is the bastard ended up killing me, haven't been able to thank him since considering he did exactly what I needed him to."

He looked around noticing the people, "Then again there seemed to be another just like that man in another world. Everything his reputation put forth, he seemed just like the one that had killed me, just a little more... darker." He got up out of his chair and walked over to one of the windows as a helicopter flew over head with it's search light on.

"And then me and my men get here and hear stories of a single man who did all of these things with shadow creatures and demons and darkness, made me think about that man... it seems every world is plauged with a being like him..."

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

He smiled and tilted his hands outward taking everything Daikus had just said as compliments. "Every world has it's boogieman. Perhaps that boogieman is the same no matter where you go. I heard all of these stories, even got to see a helicopter get pulled out the sky by those dark things. I don't know if I should marvel at such power or not. Maybe I'm just full of myself."

Daikus would feel something run down his spine, then a voice would echo in his head, 'Do you remember the last words I said before you died?' Gabe just sat there not interfering with the interrupting at hand. He knew better, if he did he wouldn't get any sleep tonight and tomorrow would be a shitty day for another fight.

While Daikus looked out the window the manifestation of the armored No Life King would stare back at him as if it was a reflection, but there was no such person in the room like that.

[frosty225]

A small smirk played across his lips as he saw the reflection of the No Life King. "I don't particularly remember, was it; 'Just die with what little dignity you have left, don't make a fool of yourself. Go back to hell, and I will meet you there, we'll settle this then.' Or maybe, 'Very good. Even on the last of your breaths you have might in your fingers.'?"

He turned back to face Gabe, getting himself muscularly prepared for when shit hit's the fan.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

'Good to finally see you in hell. I believe I caught a glimpse of you in the raid of the Abyss on Jerico as well. It was hard to tell there was too much going on.'

Gabe just stared at him. He shrugged, "Yes, I was the one who wrecked the army a little while ago. I had a task in mind to put them out of their misery for waking me up too soon. And as you can see, now he haunts me instead of obeying my commands."

He half expected the room to try to assault him but instead everyone just kind of listened and he got a "good job mate." from the man sitting in the chair on his right. He didn't know the oppression here, he didn't know how much everyone hated it here, all he knew was that a tyrant pissed him off.

[frosty225]

He just smirked and shook his head bit, "You should've been in the world I went to after I got out of Argil... that was truely hell." He mumbled before just chuckling, "A place like this? With no booze, I personally don't blame you. I half want to fuck up the asshole who..." He looked out the window a second time before pulling Apathy out and firering, taking out a soldier who was mumbling something on his phone.

"Looks like we'll be having company..." He turned away from the window pulling out his comm unit and contacting the other three who were upstairs having them get ready as he walked past Gabe towards a rather heavy table flipping it over and kicking it into the door as a baracade. "And to the No Life King, we'll have to start round two at a later date."

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

'Another time.'

Gabe just sat there. He was tired, after what he had done today he didn't even want to fight anymore. But this man was brash and unreasonable, just as the No Life King. Gabe just watched as the man flipped the table and readied himself for war. He watched as the patrons in the room scatter and run upstairs out of the room, and even out the window that was just busted open.

Instead Gabe stood up and went behind the now vacant counter and started looking for something, "I know that bitch is hiding some damn alcohol somewhere in here..."

[frosty225]

"Pass me a bottle if you find any." He stated as he put in an ear piece getting his sniper into position as a raven haired man and a blonde female came downstairs setting up their arsenal and ammo and got ready.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

He found nothing so he poured himself a glass of soda and went back to his chair. Gabe sat down and would simply watch a show unfold. He felt no reason to interfere with someone who irrationally just shot another man for talking on a phone. Maybe that soldier was talking to his cancer bound grandmother trying to make sure she was okay.

That grandmother would only hear a loud bang and the fumble of a body, she'd be calling her boys name- wait why was Gabe thinking of this. He just murdered dozens of these men each of them having families some of them having problems in their lives. Hell even children.

He sipped off his drink and snickered to himself.
