Snippet #2217232

"I'm the Blood Claw. I don't like the way my name makes me sound like a villain, but it's a part of me and I've accepted it." Jackson said, though he couldn't help but be embarrassed at how evil his name sounded. "I'd shake your hand, but..." Jackson didn't finish, instead he pulled his coat sleeve up on the right side and flicked out his claws with a metallic shing. "Not exactly the nicest way of greeting someone. Before I leave, I've got one thing to say. I could never fight someone like you, not unless I really had to." Jackson said. "Even then, I would hate myself for having to oppose you. If I was responsible for injuring or killing you, I would regret it the rest of my life. You'll find your way some day. I know it, I just know it. I'm not saying you'll devote yourself selflessly to upholding the light, though I hope you do, and I'm not saying you'll cast your heart into the blackness either. Someday though, you'll find the path you're looking for. I truly hope that when you do, it leads you to where you need to be. Thanks for the information, and all your help. I hope we can meet again!"

Kamadake’s eyes began to tear up as Jackson spoke. He fought very hard to keep from crying. He knew that this man understood him. He was beginning to doubt his previous actions of villainy toward the people of Kirkcroft. Perhaps he let his little grudge grow far out of control? He decided to refocus his personal mission at this point. “I hope we meet again too, friend.” Kamadake replied with a smile that surfaced through tears. Jackson ran out the door and up the stairs.


Jiro was amazed at how emotional Kamadake was. He realized there there ws much he didn’t know about the man he had recently taken interest in. Was he prepared to ask Kamadake more questions? He simply wasn’t sure if he was ready to know the answers just yet. But he could empathically feel Kamadake’s pain and heart. Jiro knew that Kizakura Kamadake was indeed a good soul, but in fact a child-like soul. Yes Kamadake was mature but he acted on his emotions pretty freely where others would with hesitation. The two went back to Kamadake’s home.

Guang and Patrick took the evening easy. They had a nice time watching movies and eating. Patrick borrowed Jiro’s room for the evening and Guang went to sleep in his own room. He was glad to receive a text from Jiro letting him know that everything was fine.

The next day Kamadake picked Patrick up and the two of them went back to the secret government facility. “Are you ready for the procedure today? I intend to honor our agreement.” Kamadake said to Patrick who sat in the passenger seat of the vehicle.

“I’m ready. I know you seem to have a new found resolve Mr. Kizakura.” Patrick replied while looking out of the window. Just promise me you won’t let them screw around with anything else okay.”

“Don’t you worry my friend. I alone will perform the procedure. You will be alright.” Kamadake replied as he smiled at Patrick. “My revenge and your revenge are now the same. I want to strike a blow to those that persecute supers. They must pay for their bigotry.” Kamadake said as his smile faded.
Several hours later the procedure was finished. Patrick now had the link to the Blitzers. They were now in his control and functional. General Zane smiled at Patrick and then at Kamadake. “We finally have our weapon in place. Those vermin supers won’t last long now.” Zane said.

Kamadake was ready to end his little rivalry with the general. He initially wanted to someday kill him but now he wanted something different. He wanted to strike a bigger blow to the man than death. That would be to turn Zane into what he hated most, a super. He wasn’t quite sure how this feat would be possible if at all but he would began looking into it soon.

Guang while had an album signing event and was pretty busy greeting fans. Many people were supportive and seemed to thank him for being a hero. There were a few people that showed up to the signing to protest supers. They weren’t allowed into the building however he could still see them from the window. Guang’s fear was coming true, people who hated him because he was a super. His initial popularity was complimented by his abilities and his voice. Now his flashy abilities would cause him trouble.

Jiro tried his best to cheer Guang up. Guang looked happy and cheery on the outside but Jiro knew better. Jiro eventually used his empathic abilities to make Guang’s feelings of doubt and depression fade away. He was glad he could at least do this for him.

After the event Guang went out for drinks with Jiro. They talked about many things and Jiro shared in greater detail the events of the night before. Guang wasn’t at first so happy to find out about Kamadake being a villain. He pressured Jiro toward ending things with Kamadake. But once jiro empathically imparted the feelings that Kamadake felt the night before into Guang, Guang understood. Guang then began to question his previous interactions with Taro and Saburo. Perhaps what Malachai described about the suspicious events at Kamakura corp. and Kamadake’s involvement were true.


[OOC: XShishioX I’m going to take the liberty and assume Jackson went out the next night looking for Kina and this is how Jiro spotted him. If you want to do something different let me know and I’ll drop this next part.]
Jiro and Guang left the bar. As they stood outside they could see someone run past. Jiro noticed the physique. “That might have been Blood claw…” Jiro said as he hurried Guang into the car and began to follow him.
