(Episode 4) No Rest For The Wicked [Mini-Arc]

Ben: I gave you a hint. That’s your hint. Jacob: Sora, it’s best for you to get out of here before the death squad that Veronica hired comes. All I bloody know is that I’m taking one of those dry humping limp dick motherfuckers out before I fucking die! Ben starts laughing once more. Ben seems to be happy, he hasn’t frowned about anything. But he was quite stern with Señor Henry. Was he truly ready for this?

Ben: I know all of us is going to die, but there’s no need to swearing like some punk street thug. And plus Veronica did not hire a death squad. Jacob: Oh? Does this mean that the security team is back from their little vacation? I always wanted to kill that fucking cunt of an asshole Steve Wilcox! Ben: The security team is not back yet. They won’t arrive until the afternoon. Give it another go. Jacob: Are you telling that the madame would hire a bunch of mercs just to kill us all?! Or did she hire the Celestial Dragons? Or Laughing Mama?! I heard that she has this little fucking assassin, that wipe out an entire family just in a few minutes. And I heard rumors of the little assassin killing Margaret Thatcher.

Ben: I guess I can tell the secret. The iron’s lady death was indeed a homicide. But to not cause panic her majesty, decided to treat as a natural cause of death. Jacob: No fucking way. There was a loud uproar in the room. Everyone is angry. Then some of the maids tried to leave out of door. But old Ben screamed at them as soon they made contact with the door knob. Ben: We’re on borrowed time right now! Our executioner has been very patient and lenient! Jacob: Wait is it one person?! Then we’re going to live! One person can’t take out 64 people! Jacob laughs arrogantly. Ben: You think some of you will escape?

Jacob: Absolutely! Ben pulled me to side, and we went to edge of the room. Ben: You think, you’re up for this. I can do it for you. Veronica can instead use this narrative instead. Long time head butler of the Accordia’s went mad and killed the staff. But you put me down or the staff took me down with them. Sora: No, I’ll do it. Veronica wanted me to do it to show my loyalty. And plus I think it’s time I get my first kill. Ben: Do not talk like you’re some monster that kills just to kill. Only kill when you have no other choice. And you must keep your high morals and values. If you lose them then you truly lose yourself. You must stand tall for this family. If you ever get back with your family, then forget about the Accordia’s. Sora: I can’t forget about la familia! Ben: Lower your voice. This family will be in ruins. Once a certain skeleton comes out the closet... I grabbed at my throbbing right ear. I hear Veronica blasting in my right ear through my tiny white earbud. Veronica: Get to killing now! Kill that old fossil! Or else! Ben: We’re out of time, I assume. Sora: Yes. There has to be another way. You can convince her, if you tried hard enough! Maybe if we...

Ben: No. There’s no point. She is sticking to her guns. Let’s get this over with. And plus DJ is not here took the day off. More time we waste, we sacrifice another innocent life. We to the eye of the room. And the staff consist of worry and confident and neutral expressions. Ben: Ladies and gentlemen. These are our final moments together. I thank all of you for that worked hard. And to my slackers... I appreciate your... nah fuck that! You-lot are fucking terrible, I mean fucking dog-water! I’m tired of Sora and I cleaning up your fucking messes! Your intellect is as frail as your work ethic, you disrespect this house and yourself, you’re the epitome of incompetence! It’s because of you that I have to stop fucking working as the head butler, you bloody cunts! But I’m not going to punish good with the bad. Consider this as my final gift to you! I will hold off Sora so you can escape.

Jacob: Why would you hold Sora? Ben gave Jacob the look. It took a few moments for him and everybody to realize that I’m their killer. Jacob: Kid, I know Veronica won’t kill you, she will only re-educate you. I mean torture you. She won’t kill you. So let all of us go, and we won’t say a word about none of this. Jacob and the rest start sweating bullets waiting for a positive response. Sora: I guess I’ll give all of a final gift as well. Everybody minus Ben is cheering. Even some of the maids went to the bar and started drinking. Jacob: Thank you! We’re free! Sora: Guys! Wait a minute! Ben started yelling for everyone attention again. Ben: The lad has something to say! It’s not right to assume something.

Sora: My final gift to all of you. I will... Jacob: Come on kid spit it out! Sora: If you want a final message to your friends, family or lover. I’ll let you write it, right now. And my second gift is that I’ll give all of you a ten-second head start. Thank you for your service to this house. I’m honored to have met all of you. The entire room became still and silent. Jacob puts his arm around me with a nervous smile on him. Jacob: We’re friends right? You can let me live. No one has to know that I’m alive. Sora: Yeah, do you want a final letter or something? Jacob: Nah, I already have video messages just in case I’d die. I’ll just get going. Sora: Goodbye everyone. It was nice. Ben: He’s ready! Get to running! Everyone bolted for the double door, but they couldn’t open it because they were trampling one another. I floated in the air with my legs crossed and closed my eyes. Ben: After, you kill, make sure you never lose yourself, Sora.

Every second that passes my body trembles more and more. Come on brain think of some last second to save them! No... it’s already too late. The only way they could be saved... it doesn’t matter anymore. There going to die because I couldn’t think of anything to save them. I failed them. I’m no hero. How could ever be hero when you can’t save anyone. Instead, I’m killing everyone. That’s no hero. I am... a terrible person. Just flat out horrible.

I opened my eyes, there still struggling get the door open. Sixty-three people pushing and shoving each other just to survive. Is it truly evil to take someone life like this? Am I evil? What if...no I have to do it!

I landed back down to the floor, Ben quickly used wind magic to blast the doors open, and five people got out of the room, but I immediately shut the doors tight with a constant flow of wind magic. The rest of the staff looked at me in horror. Most stopped, but the rest started using their magic, but it’s futile. The doors are Maina proofed level five. Meaning, that it can withstand I think nine punches from my mom. But the rest know that. Yara, one of the maids called for Ben to open up the doors. Ben: The only way those doors are getting opened if I defeat Sora. And don’t try to help. You just die faster. Ben floated his Cuban cigar on the bar counter. He looked at me and sighed. Sora: You ready? Ben: Oi, you-lot better find some paper and pen and get to writing! Young lad, show me that I have nothing to be worried about.

He charged at me and shot out right roundhouse kick to the temple but blocked it with both of my arms. I countered by trying for straight jab to his midsection, but he stopped my fist mid-motion and blew me back to the podium. The staff started cheering and kick his ass Ben. I got right back up and Ben became mildly irritated and displeased. Ben: Young lord, you must let it go! It’s okay to cross the line but always make sure you come back. Sora: I don’t want to kill you. Just retire and live the quiet life. Ben ran at me again and tried for another round kick, but before he could reach me, I blew him back to the staff with wind magic. Ben: I can’t simply retire. And this is my quiet life, boy! He summoned a rapier made of wind to his right hand. Next, he proceeds to rush at me and tries to thrust his blade at my neck, I swiftly countered by dropping to the ground and swept his legs underneath him causing him to fall. I popped right up and swiftly got to his right pant leg and tossed him to the white drywall ceiling. Parts of the ceiling came down along with Ben.

Ben: You still hold back? Zaria, Selena and Jacob are on the loose, you can’t let them escape. Sora: I don’t have it in me. This task is just way too much! Ben gets up and points his rapier at me. Ben: Do not let la familia be tarnished when you can do something about it. Now get that blade of yours out and kill me! I summoned for my red and black hilted katana. Ben: If I’m going to get killed then kill me with something special. I saw you wield a special kind of blade, lad.

He wants me to kill him with my sacred treasure, I didn’t think he knew about it. So, he’s been watching me train in private late at night. For how long has he been doing this? It doesn’t matter now. If he wants to be killed by it then I could at least abide his request.

Sora: Sacred Treasure: (天国の炎の剣) Homura’s Heavenly Flame Sword. A sliver white hilted grass cutter inside of it human bone scabbard appeared mid-air, right in front of me. I grabbed it and flames surrounded the sword. I drew it from its scabbard and exposed its crimson red blade. Ben: That is one beautiful blade. I pointed my blade in the direction at his left wrist. And crimson flames surrounded his left wrist and seared it off to the floor. Ben's wrist started spraying blood all over the floor. He laughs and stops the blood lost by holding it back with wind magic. Ben: Just kill me already. Sora: My Homura didn't give me the strength to do it. I simply don't have the backbone to do it. Ben: Look within yourself! You're running out of time! The three that escaped out of this room will soon leave the estate. Then you have to hunt them down to the streets or worse they get to the city.

I could use it. But what if I lose control again? I can't wear it for a long time. But losing control might be a bad thing in this situation. I have no time to waste.

Sora: Sacred Treasure: Sathona. A white mask with a Crimson Lion symbol on the right eye and a red slit across the mouth appeared in my left hand. Ben: What's does that mask do? Sora: It has a few uses. But you can think of it as an amplifier and it distorts my voice a bit. And it has a nasty draw like my other sacred treasures robbing me of my stamina the longer I use it and alters my personality into a more sadistic. This is probably the going to be my last time seeing all of you like this, after I put on the mask, so this is goodbye.

Everyone said there goodbyes to me. I put on my mask and black aura surrounded body while dark lavender leaks out of my mask. This makes seeing people's faces almost impossible. I can only see their bodies. I can feel Sathona's overwhelming looming presence in my back. I grip Homura tightly in my right hand. And stab the wooden floor. The last row of people with their backs on the door, their bodies combusted into flames and almost instantly turning them to burnt skeletons. But I did hear Samantha uncontrollably scream for a brief second. Before her voice was consumed by flames. A butler charged at me but didn't know who it was. I slapped his chest and he was turned to ash. Some of his ashes vaporize after making contact with Homura. I can hear the screaming of everyone. They tried and tried to break the door but it pointless.

I summoned fifteen dark lavender and black shadowy hands from my back. I grabbed a single person head with each head, and popped them like balloons. Blood splattered the ceiling and the entrance of the room. Three butlers charged at me but used my shadow hands and ripped all three of them in half. All of their large and small intestines started spilling on the floor. Their blood was about to make contact with my shoes but I stabbed the floor with Homura again. Turning the dead nothing but ash. I think I hear Nicole begging for her life.

She walks over to me and got down on her knees. Nicole: Young master, please spare me! Let me go, I have children! I need to... I sliced her head off with Homura turning her head and body into ash for a moment then the ashes started burning away. Then another butler charged at me. Sora: Sacred Treasure: Enyo! A blood red spear was launched into the back of his throat, then his body exploded but made sure no blood got on me by vaporizing any blood that got near me, I retreated Enyo to my land and admired it's craftsmanship. The pointed head of the spear is almost the same size as a regular straight sword. The shaft of the spear is wrapped in vines made of metal. Then I floated the spear to be right behind me at all times. Sora: For you remaining peons on the door.

Sacred Treasure: Rho Aias. A barrier iridescent rocket larkspur Flower Shield. A powerful neon pink shield that can block anything. It has seven layers of defense. It appeared right in front of the remaining butlers and maids, it expanded and it started pressing them against the door. The little piggies started releasing their blood-curdling screams that made me hysterical. Sora: Damn it! I didn't see them die! Oh, well! You can't win them all. All right, old man it's your turn.

Ben: Always remember who is your actual family... I commanded Enyo to stab Benjamin all the way to ceiling. A couple of seconds later, Ben slipped off the spear and landed on his back. Ben: Soon as you get a chance to your family or start of an accidental... Sora: Homura Second Release: Oblivion! I summoned Oblivion in my left hand. It's an Dao Chinese Sword. That has a black handle and a pitch black blade. I slashed his throat. Black flames consumed vaporized his skin and muscles. His skeleton started turning black along with his organs. I made Oblivion disappear along with Enyo. I started flying to avoid the blood as I make way to the double doors. I blew open the doors with wind magic, I made my way out, but some dripping blood on top of the door frame hit the top of my mask. Then I was also hit two red letters while floating out of the room, from Ben to me. The right letter said for For you after you leave the room. I tear open the letter and It was hard to see so I took of my mask. I instantly fell to the floor. I look at the room behind me, then I truly realized what I did! I started screaming! I got up and got a full look, I broke down crying. I looked at the letter.

Why!? Just why?! I'm am a monster! How could I!?

Sora: Young lord Hestia. Keep moving forward. Blood has been spilled, do not stop. Everything is in motion right now. Forgive me for not coming up with anything. I know you're going to be mad. Or you will laugh. After you started killing, I thought of a plan to change Veronica's mind. I could've prevented this. All I had to do was threaten to use her most well guarded secret against her. Actually it wouldn't work she would just say kill me so scratch that. Anyway carry on with your task. Make sure Jacob and company don't leave the estate. Get going. Read the second letter once the dust settled. P.S Tell D.J, that you should be glad that you didn't come to work. See what happens when you listen to my hunches. And I guess I can tell because why not. Bella is the rat among the staff.

I flew out of the house. I see no one outside. I then put Sathona back on. I sense there's someone hiding on top of the roof. I closed my eyes. I envisioned a constant blue flow on the roof. The way it's outlined it looks a maid. I open my eyes and used one shadowy hand to get her off the roof. She started screaming. Sora: Stop. Bella: Sora, please don't kill me I don't want to die! Sora: Shush! Tell you what. I will spare you. And get you on that private island that lord Henry mentioned in his letter. You can live the rest of your days with your family in complete luxury, just tell me where the others went. Bella: You promise? Give me your word. That you would actually do that for me.

Sora: I promise you that you will have it. You have my word as a mage that no harm will come to you. Bella: Zaria, is planning to take the car from the guest house. And planning to pick me up. And Jacob is just running to get out of the Estate. Oh, that's her right now. A black SUV going at a high speed and not stopping for nothing. Zaria is just flooring it onto the straight path. Sora: Sacred Treasure: Artemis! Sacred Treasure: Apollo! Artemis, a moonlight colored quiver full of moon light colored arrows appeared on my back. I floated Homura in mid air. Apollo, the golden bow. I ready my bow and shot at the SUV. The car launched ten feet in the air and crashed down onto it's side onto the grass. And I used two shadowy hands to drag the car to the front of the house. Zaria, still alive climbing out of the car. Soon as she popped her head out, I shot another arrow and this one hit right directly in her left eye. The arrow in her eye exploded resulting in a shower of blood covering the side of car. Sora: Artemis, Apollo find Jacob Lisowski and bring him to me. I ready my shot. The arrow turned gold. I then fired it high in the air. Bella: We have a deal.

Sora: Be patient. Your paradise will come soon, la ratta. Bella: Wait, you knew!? Sora: If you kept your mouth closed then none of this would've happened. Everything would be fine. You're a murderer as well. I see a distant golden light. A few moments later I see Jacob launched in the air close to the house, I caught him with one of shadowy hands, right before he fell at the large fountain with statues of Veronica admiring herself. Bella: You can let me go now. I descended down to the top of the stairs and let go of Bella. Jacob: Wait you sold me out!? Bella: He gave me a offer. It was either death or give up you two cunts. Jacob: You can spare me bro. Come on you going to let this bitch go?! Sora: I guess I can tell you this Jacob, since Ben not here anymore, Bella is la ratta. Jacob: You bitch! You got all of us killed! Jacob: You can't allow her to get away with this. If you're going to kill me then let me kill her! And if I beat you then you let me walk.

Sora: There's a problem. Jacob: What's the problem?! I grabbed Homura and sliced off Bella's head off. Her and body burned to ash. While her head bounced to the bottom of the stairs. Then I tapped both of Jacob's arms. Both of his arms turned to ash. He starts to panic. Then I used Homura to stab Jacob's heart. I let him go and let him fall down stairs then before he turned to ash.
