  • Summary: Kai Shiden learns the hard way that vengeance always has a cost...


One footstep after another, Kai Shiden walked alongside three other men, hands in his trenchcoat pockets down the alleyway of dingy Side 4 Colony. A former resort Colony, the endless wars and lack of funding had turned it into a dumping ground for the undesirables of Earth. The corpse of an old amusement park loomed overhead, the darkened letters of SPACE LAND casting a shadow upon the horizon.

Kai could have laughed, what a cruelly fitting tombstone for this place. The data that Kikka had originally compiled for him about air traffic the day the Garuda went down led him to an old Bionet waystation for human trafficking in Mozambique. From there he'd been on a merry chase after ever since. To put this bastard back in prison. His thoughts went to Miharu from the war. Her kid brother depending on her. Jill Ratokie, died as a test pilot for the Murasame Research Institute, age 16. His death came out at the New Desides trials.

Kai had made it a POINT for it to come out. To unearth every single one of this man's secrets, to make certain he stayed behind bars forever. And then Vist cut him a deal. Cut him a deal which made Sayla's ward a labrat in his sick experiments, which hurt a bunch of other kids in his criminal operations; entirely above the law until his falling out with his employer. He'll deal with the Vists later. For now? This was personal. Wasn't about headlines. Was about making certain the man created no more labs that stole the futures away of kids like Jill.

"That's the place. Source says the shithead's holed up in an old employee lounge waiting on a transport to the belt."

His hand closed on his piece just to make sure it was there, before patting his pocket for a cigarette lighter, stopping at the end of another alley to light up a cigarette, his eyes upon the looming amusement park. Taking a long drag, he spoke to his mercenaries, former AEUG members all. He offered them a cigarette, but only one of them took him up on it, as he lit them too.

"Quick and quiet." He said to the others, "Capture if we can, kill him if we can't."

A shadow passed overhead, one man looked up quickly, drawing his gun and pointing it up. The rest looked up too. "Relax man. Jumping at shadows." Kai told him, until suddenly all three of his security with him pulled their pieces, pointing it past him. He turned around, the dim light of a street lamp cutting a diagonal across the rotund figure, a cane pointed down.

"Hello Gentlemen."

Then ascending quicker than it feels like anything could move, he came down just a few short meters away from them. The Cigarette dropped out of Kai's mouth as he took in the clown like outfit with the top hat, a clown suit, a smile filled with vicious glee.

"I have come here to take your lives."

He'd heard the rumors of a Bionet super assassin, ran across evidence in his reporting, from sources going missing. That nobody who's seen his face lived to tell about it. That he appears with a smile and leaves with a smile.

Mad Pierrot.

"FUCK! RUN!" Kai shouted at his hired guns, who began to open fire, beginning to back off down the alleyway as it filled with muzzle flashes and gunsmoke. The man's smile grew wider as the bullets impacted harmlessly on an energy field of green. Without taking a step, he raised his cane, and began to laugh.
