Las Angeles, CA 0:00
Raze sat alone at a coffee shop. The watcher he had met the day before said to meet here. [b][i]There's no one here... Kids.[/i][/b] just as he thinks this, the watcher teleports into the chair next to him.
"Who are you?" Raze asks defensively.
"I'm Augustine," the watcher stands up. "I have questions for you."
Raze looked uneasy after hearing the name. "Shoot."
"Well, first off. I'm your nephew. My parents were killed by the legion and I need help."
"You've got the wrong guy kid." Raze gets up and starts walking away.
"Wait!" He grabs Raze's shoulder. "I need your help to avenge them. I can't do this alone."
"Get your hand off my shoulder."
"Raze!"
Raze turned quickly and shoved Augustine backwards while drawing his staff.
"I can't help you. I won't! Now back off, kid!"
"Asshole." Augustine teleports back in front of Raze. "Why wont you help me?"
Raze stepped closer to Augustine until their faces were inches apart. "Because, I killed them. All of them."
August stared in disbelief. "No, no that's impossible."
"It's not." Raze begins walking toward August who retreats backwards. "Your father was a coward. He wanted to stop me, but he never had the nerve. Finally he sold me out. Like the cowardice rat he was. He paid for that." Raze chuckles. "Your mother on the other hand. She was brave. Came at me with a knife. I stabbed her with it, twice."
A flood of memories and emotions came over August. He remembered his mother's body. The two knife wounds....
"No!" August screams charging Raze.
Raze swings his staff toward August's legs. August jumps the staff and fly-kicks Raze's chest. Raze steps back and takes another swing. This one hits August's shoulder, leaving a burning wound. August teleports into the air and begins free falling straight towards Raze. Raze lifts the bladed end of his staff, ready to impale August. Moments before impact, August teleports again. This time, he's behind Raze, aiming at him horizontally. All of his downward momentum had been transferred forward after the teleport and he came cascading into Raze.
The pair goes flying through the front window of a coffee shop. They both stagger up to their feet, trying to recover. Sirens can be heard in the distance. Raze mists into a ventilation pipe and disappears. Augustine stood alone for a moment in the wrecked coffee shop before teleporting to a nearby building.
Police cars flooded the scene and officers began investigating the coffee shop.
"Damn..." August mumbles surveying the scene.

"Told you so." The watcher jumps down next to you.
-
[i]He looks at him[/i] [b]Told me that it's a lost cause? Wrong, I just got reunited with my old friend, in a way [/b]
-
"Reunited? Looked like he was ready to separate your head from that shiny suit. He's a killer, not someone I'd recommend pissing off."
-
[b]You think I don't know he's a killer? I've known him for fifteen year. The first time we met he was killing someone. You do Know that I've killed before? Right?[/b]
-
"I'm talking assassin killer. Not killing thieves, killing anyone. He killed my parents for crying out loud! I don't understand why you'd help him. But, I guarantee you one thing. You join him, we're gonna have issues."
-
[b]Look, I don't join the wrong side, but I'm not fighting my friend, I don't care if he's killed. If he's done something to you, well good luck getting revenge, you may be able to teleport but Raze? No, Raze will beat you.[/b]
-
"We'll see." He teleports away.
-
[i]He walks off[/i] ((End))

Yuri appeared behind him "What was that about man?" He spoke with his trademark accent
-
"I don't really know, man. Did you hear all that?"
-
"No, I heard all the commotion and I climbed up here to get a better look."
-
"Oh, well then. It was nothing, nothing important. How the hell did you get to Las Angeles?"
-
"My father flew me down here to meet him, I'm supposed to meet him at a restaurant at 7:00."
-
"Your dad, huh?" Well, you've got seven hours to kill.
-
"Yeah, I'm so excited to see him, it's been a couple weeks since I saw him last." Yuri scratches his neck
-
"Ya? What's his name?"
-
"Ichihara Kurosaki, his assassin name is Limbo though, you probably haven't heard of him."
-
"Nope. Assassin huh?" Augustine teleports them to a park not to far away.
-
"Yeah, he's in the assassin faction, Legion."
