Screaming For Vengeance [G]

Bloody hell! Of all the days for Alaster's car to have problems! And Wheels was out of town for the week, so Alaster could not call him for a ride. And there was no way Alaster could take a cab looking like this! It would just raise too many questions and waste valuable time. As much as he did not like it, Alaster knew he had no choice. He had to reach Meiko on foot.

After texting Meiko that he would unfortunately be delayed, Alaster set off for her location. He quickly and quietly walked through one of the many shortcuts in Tokyo's alleyways. Walking in the main streets would just raise too many questions from nosy people, and Alaster did not want anyone slowing him down. He preferred to avoid trouble if he could help it.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Alaster tried to avoid trouble, trouble had a very nasty habit of finding him anyway.

Three suspicious looking thugs began to follow Alaster as he walked down an alleyway. Noticing that he was being tailed, Alaster stopped moving and put his hand in his pocket to reach for his concealed knife. The last thing he wanted was for anyone else besides himself to find Meiko. Turning to face the thugs, Alaster's voice was colder than the Arctic as he spoke to them. "Hello, boys. And just what do you bloody morons think you're doing? I'm in a hurry, so bugger off if you have more than just the single brain cell to share between the three of you."

One of the thugs sneered as he began to talk in a voice that reminded Alaster of an ogre. "Well you see birdbrain, you're trespassing on our turf! Now you gotta pay the toll if you want to leave here alive. We accept cash, valuables, or broken bones and blood!" Alaster sighed. Who did these nobodies think they were talking to? He was Crowley, the villain ranked seventh of all Japan! Well, it looked like there were three fools who had a death wish. Fortunately, Alaster was in a very generous mood....

"What's with that weird mask, bird boy? What's the matter, too ugly to show your face?" As a different thug spoke and tried his best to look intimidating, Alaster just chuckled at the thug's pathetic attempt. "Funny, especially coming from you of all people." As this thug started to get pissed, the third one began to approach Alaster. "Oh, you think you're such a smart guy, huh?" Alaster just sneered. "Well clearly, none of you are. Otherwise, you'd have already started to run."

Being too slow to react, the two thugs furthest from Alaster could only watch in horror as he pulled out his concealed knife and slit the man's throat with a single movement of his arm. Although the thugs could not see it due to the mask concealing his face, Alaster was grinning sadistically. He watched in glee as the thug collapsed and died from the blood loss.

One of the thugs became angry. "Togure!! You bastard! I'll kill you for what you did!" Picking up his crowbar, the thug ran to Alaster, intent on beating the masked man to death for killing his buddy. However, Alaster was not concerned. He had dealt with idiots with far more brain cells than these jokes. Once the thug was close enough, Alaster threw his knife at the man's face. Startled, the thug did not have enough time to react. He could only stand there as the sharp end of the knife met with his eye. As he howled in excruciating pain, Alaster calmly walked over to the thug's crowbar and picked it up. The irony of a man with a crow quirk and a crow motif using a crowbar as a weapon was not lost on Alaster.

After breaking the man's legs with the crowbar, Alaster pulled out his knife from the man's face. "I'll take that back now, thanks." Afterwards, Alaster began to beat this thug to death. Meanwhile, the last thug stood frozen in fear. Despite every instinct in his body yelling at him to get the fuck out of there, he just could not move. All he could think at that moment was about how this psychopath was going to kill him. That guy is no man! He's a demon! And he's coming for me next! The thug let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Alaster smiled as he heard the poor fool scream like a little bitch. He half expected the moron to start begging for his life. However, there would be no mercy. This fool and his dead friends made the fatal mistake of getting in the way of Alaster's vital mission. And now they would all pay in blood. Alaster approached the trembling thug, who had just wet his pants in fear. "You see, unlike you, I don't charge a toll. The road to Hell is always free of charge!" As Alaster swung the crowbar at the man's legs, the thug screamed loudly again. With his legs now broken, he knew that there was no escape now. There was just the imminent beating. God, why didn't he just become a janitor like his brother told him to?

As the thug began to pray to every god he could think of, Alaster stood over the fool, ready to give him his ticket to Hell. But not before giving some final words.

"If you hurry, you can catch up to your friends on your way to Hell."

Fortunately for the thug, and unfortunately for Alaster, the screams did not go unnoticed. There was one person who had heard the screaming, and he was quickly approaching to help. If help arrived soon enough, then perhaps this thug's life would not have to end here and now....

NOTES Love drives people crazy...or crazier in this case.

Just as Alaster was about to have his fun beating the worthless thug to death with the stolen crowbar, a loud "OI!!!" grabbed his attention. Just who the hell was dumb enough to interrupt his fun? Who else had a death wish? But then Alaster had a clear view of the man who had just arrived.

Silence. The world had seemingly frozen in place. It was as though a deathly silence had gripped the area. Like the calm before a storm. The raging fiery infernal storm that ravaged everything it came across in a destructive blaze. Behind the mask, Alaster's eyes widened in shock. This man. The one who began to charge at him. It was him! The one who had harmed his beloved Meiko! What were the odds? Soon, that eerie silence would be broken, being washed away by an explosion of anger, violence, and bloodlust.

"YOU!!!"

Alaster did not know what this man could do, and he did not care. The only thing that Alaster cared about at that moment was hurting this man. No, hurting was not enough. Alaster wanted to punish, torture, and kill this horrible man. The one who had hurt his Meiko. The one who at that moment, Alaster loathed and despised even more than his father and stepmother. The one whose blood Alaster was determined to do everything in his power to spill.

With crowbar in hand, Alaster attempted to attack G the moment he got close, swinging the crowbar with as much strength as he could muster. For now, the crowbar would be Alaster's only means of attack. As much as he wanted to take out his gun and empty it on this asshole's face, Alaster's mind was just barely clear enough for him to know that it was too soon. He needed to wait until there was enough distance for him to safely take out the gun. Besides, killing the man would be the merciful thing to do, and right now, Alaster had no mercy. He wanted the one who had hurt Meiko to suffer, to cry out in pain and beg for death. But oh no! Alaster would not give him that pleasure so quickly! He was determined to take his time and break this man, in both body and spirit. Only after the man had endured complete and utter hell as punishment for what he did would Alaster finally allow the man to die a gruesome death.

Nobody hurts his beloved lavender angel and gets away with it! Nobody!

NOTES I know some people can be protective of their girlfriend, but this is ridiculous!

Alaster aimed to swing the crowbar at the man's torso. Sure he could aim to break the man's legs, but he figured it would be easier to do so when the fool was already down on the ground. The head was a no no, since if Alaster somehow managed to hit him hard enough to kill the bastard, then that would be far too quick a death and not nearly enough torture. No, this man would not get off easy.

Before Alaster had the chance to swing, some insectoid abomination had appeared from seemingly out of nowhere. Alaster literally stopped in his tracks to look at it. "What the actual fuck?" The beast then charged and slammed onto Alaster, sending him crashing down on the floor. In hindsight, stopping to look at the thing was not exactly a brilliant idea. Still, had Alaster not stopped, he would have been knocked down to the floor anyway.

As Alaster lied on the ground, he had noticed two things. The first was the fact that there were several crows either flying around or perched on the nearby rooftops. They were within range, too. The second was the symbol and necklace the man had. They were just like the ones Meiko had. It then clicked. Everything made sense now. Alaster began to laugh as he got up from the ground and picked up his fallen crowbar.

"Well, well. I was wondering when I'd get to meet you in person. So you must be the infamous 420GucciGang that used to hang out in the chat of ours! I'd say it's nice to finally meet you, but well... considering what you did, not so much anymore." G may not have thought that what Alaster was saying made much sense, and that was understandable. However, Alaster's next words might be enough for G to start putting the pieces together and realize who the man in the crow mask was, as well as why he seemed so intent on wanting to make G suffer. "Oh right. While we're making introductions, may as well introduce myself. I am a man of many names, but for now, just call me Crowley. Of course, if your memory of our chat isn't too hazy, then perhaps the username CrazyCrow might ring a bell?"

If for some reason that was still not enough to put the pieces together for G, then Alaster's next line would make it all clear. "You'll regret ever touching my beloved Meiko!"

Looking at Goliath, Alaster then turned to face G. "This abomination is your quirk, I presume? Well two can play at that game!" G probably already thought that the Crazy in CrazyCrow made sense, but now it was time to show him where the Crow in CrazyCrow came from!

With a loud caw, Alaster activated his quirk. The eyes of the eight crows closest to Alaster glowed with a blood red color as the birds were empowered with the signal that had taken over their brains. The crows became ferocious as adrenaline was forcefully released into their bodies and made them slightly more powerful than the average crow. As they all turned their heads to follow the order of their master, Alaster issued a quick and simple command for they to obey.

"Kill them both!"

The crows immediately swooped down to attack. Half of them flew towards Goliath, while the other half aimed for G himself.

NOTES At least Alaster has the manners to introduce himself to the man he's trying to brutally attack

It's been months,  but it seemed as though G did remember him after all. Perhaps if Alaster was not so focused on wanting this man to suffer, then he might have wondered what it would have been like had the two met under different circumstances. Perhaps they would have gotten along? Still, that was irrelevant. Right now, Alaster saw G as nothing more than a monster who had hurt his beloved Meiko. For that, there would be no forgiveness, and certainly no mercy.

Of course, G's words were not helping matters. Sarcastically referring to Alaster as his hero, G referred to Meiko as a clingy bitch and a pain as he thanked Alaster for getting her off his hands. He then talked about needing her, and getting payback for her hurting someone. Regarding that last part, Alaster did not give a shit. To him, humans were all worthless, so if any of them got hurt, Alaster literally did not care. Besides, Meiko was an angel who in Alaster's eyes could do no wrong. She was perfect, beautiful, wonderful in every way. He would not put up with any sickening slander against her. Anyone who spoke ill of Meiko must die an excruciatingly painful death.

Alaster spoke in a low, cold, and clearly angry voice as he coldly addressed G. "First, Meiko is not a bitch. It's not her fault that you can't appreciate what good you had before losing her like an idiot. Whatever whore you're with now if any doesn't hold a damn candle to Meiko. If anything, I should be the one thanking you. Your idiotic mistake in losing her allowed me to be with the only good person in this hellhole of a world. Second, I don't give a bloody hell about anyone she hurt. The bloody bastard deserved it. Hell, that moron probably deserved far worse. And third, for what you did to Meiko, I shall do a thousand times worse to you. Unlike with Meiko, you won't be escaping. In fact, there won't be anything left to send over to your friends."

As G and Goliath were distracted with the crows, Alaster began to observe Goliath more closely. Just what was it made out of? Would the crowbar be enough to squash that overgrown bug? Or would he need to take out his gun and shoot its brains out, assuming it had any? Or perhaps this was nothing more than a puppet, and Alaster should just focus on getting rid of its master.

But then Alaster noticed it. G had grabbed a crow and snapped its neck. He then fed it to that overgrown cockroach! Alaster snapped. How dare they! That one crow had more value in its life than all the worthless humans on this godforsaken planet! How DARE this disgusting punk just end the poor bird's life like it meant nothing! Like its life was insignificant! If Alaster did not want to unleash hell upon this man before, he most certainly did now.

"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO THE POOR CROW! I'LL BREAK ALL YOUR FILTHY FINGERS FOR THAT! YOU'LL JOIN THOSE TWO CORPSES THERE ON THE GROUND!"

Alaster did not care that G and Goliath were approaching him. He did not care about the thug with the broken legs who was still alive. Alaster cared about none of it. All that mattered was revenge. Revenge for Meiko, and for the poor crow!

As the remaining crows continued to peck and claw at G and Goliath to the best of their ability, Alaster took advantage of the small window of opportunity to take out his gun, make sure the safety was off, and aim it straight at G. Despite wanting to just shoot to kill (and Alaster REALLY wanted to do so), he did not yet pull the trigger. Instead, he had it pointed at G to make sure that neither he nor the overgrown cockroach would try anything. The moment they did was when Alaster would shoot.

"Your move, bitch!"

NOTES *angry crow noises*

Not being able to move because of his broken legs, the thug could do nothing but watch as the white-haired man fought the masked man. The thug was still terrified, but he was slowly beginning to calm down a bit. This guy actually saved me! If I play my cards right, I might actually get to live! Alright, that's it! I need to find a way to help this guy out. That psycho crow guy is gonna pay for what he did to Togure and Kenji! I need to help out somehow! The man slowly began to quietly crawl towards Alaster, hoping that one, he would not get noticed, and two, he was not making a very stupid mistake right now.

Meanwhile, Alaster was too distracted by G's words, as well as his own ever increasing rage, to notice what the thug was up to. Who did this prick think he was, to talk shit about Meiko like that! He did not understand a bloody thing about her! Perhaps he kept Meiko at a distance and only ever saw her as a nuisance. But Alaster actually cared about her, actually took the time to get to know her, to understand her, to trust in her, to love her. She may have stalked this hooligan in the past, but Meiko genuinely loved Alaster more than she ever did this unappreciative asshole. Of course this hooligan would never understand the true value Meiko has! The fool was too blind! Alaster chose to ignore G's taunts. He was already pissed off enough. Listening to the bullshit G was spouting would not make Alaster want to kill the man any less. So why even bother listening to any more of his slander and lies?

Once Alaster pulled out his gun, the thug that was slowly trying to sneak up on him almost shrieked in fear. Oh shit! I'm gonna die! He's gonna kill me! But fortunately for him, Alaster's blind rage meant that he was only focusing on G and Goliath. He was not even paying attention to the thug that was crawling towards him. Instead, Alaster was confused at G's reaction. Kawaii? There was nothing here that was even remotely cute! Just what was this fool saying?

But then Alaster found out. In the form of a stream of water to the face.

Alaster only barely had the time to brace for impact. Only just barely covering his masked face in time, the force of the Hydro Gun was enough to push Alaster back and send him down to the floor. Although he held a tight grip on his gun, the crowbar was knocked out of his hand, falling to the ground. Alaster began to growl lowly. He had dealt with worse crap in his life than this. If that white-haired bastard thought that a stream of water was enough to bring Alaster down, then he was very much mistaken.

Alaster noticed that the red in the remaining crows' eyes were fading. His quirk's hold on them were weakening. Soon, they would be free and would try to escape. If the birds flew out of Alaster's range, then he would lose them. He could not let that happen!

Quickly raising his gun, Alaster aimed for Goliath's eye, then fired. He then aimed at G's torso and fired twice at him. Despite being very tempted to, Alaster still did not want G dead yet. First he needed to suffer. A lot. Regardless of whether the bullets actually hit their mark or not (or even if they had any effect at all in Goliath's case), Alaster had an opening, even if just for a second or two. Taking advantage of it, Alaster felt his throat become even more irritated as he cawed once again. Seeing as the gunshots scared away some of the crows nearby, his quirk was only able to control seven crows. If these crows died or escaped, then Alaster would have no more crows to use.

Speaking in a much raspier voice, Alaster commanded the crows. "Attack those cockroaches!" Pointing in the direction of G and Goliath, Alaster watched as the crows, whose eyes glowed blood red once more, swooped down and made their way to G and Goliath to obey their master's command. Alaster always hated using his quirk. Not only did it make his voice much raspier and sore (as well as running the risk of actually making Alaster mute for a while), but the idea of enslaving such wonderful creatures to do his bidding always saddened him. Crows should not have to suffer like that. They deserved to be happy and free to live their lives the way they wanted to. It was humans that deserved to be miserable and suffering!

Unlike last time, Alaster would not let the crows do all of the work. This time, he would observe carefully, aiming his gun at G or Goliath. If either of them tried to kill the crows again, Alaster would do his best to shoot them down.

The thug could not believe his luck. The masked psycho still hadn't noticed him! Time to make his move! While Alaster was distracted, the thug grabbed his legs in an attempt to hold him. "Gotcha, bitch!" However, Alaster just glared at the fool. Did this idiot think he could do anything helpful? He should have just played dead. Then maybe he would not have to see what came next.

"Wrong move, moron."

Without hesitation, Alaster pointed his gun at the thug's forehead and fired. In an instant, the thug collapsed on the floor, dead.

However, the thug's sacrifice was not for nothing. If G and Goliath were able to keep the crows at bay, then they would have an opening. Alaster wouldn't have enough time to react to their next move.

NOTES RIP nameless thug. You tried.

Ah, it was a shame that none of his shots had made their intended mark, but Alaster was not too upset by it. If anything, he learned something important about the way this hooligan's quirk worked. The cockroach was nothing more than a puppet. The fact that it seemed to care more about defending him rather than itself meant that it had the desire to protect its master. But for what reason? Because it was ordered to? Because it wanted to? Or did its survival depend on the man being alive? Alaster began to grin widely. Perhaps he should focus more on the master than the puppet.

Alaster was pleased to see that his crows were all okay. Continuing to obediently attack while these fools could do little to fight back. Good! Now all that needed to be done was to find a way to make the overgrown cockroach disappear, and of course, to make its garbage master pay for what he did.

Unfortunately, things seemed to be heading south very quickly. After shooting the worthless thug dead, Alaster realized that the hooligan realized that he had an opening to attack Alaster with. Sending his beast to attack, Alaster watched as the cockroach bit into his shoulder. Now with all of the years of beatings and torturing he had to endure, Alaster was used to dealing with pain, so it would not be as bad for him as it would be for someone else. However, that did not stop the bite from hurting like a motherfucking bitch.

"GAAAAH!!" Gritting his teeth in pain, Alaster angrily glared at Goliath as he pointed his gun at the beast's face. "Take a bite of this, you overgrown roach!" With how close Goliath was, shooting it from close range was a double-edged sword. On one hand, Alaster would not miss a shot so close. But on the other hand, all Goliath needed to do was throw Alaster off quickly enough to throw off his aim. Or just smack the gun out of his hand if he were quick enough. Or just smack Alaster himself. Really, in a close combat situation, Goliath had the clear advantage. The only way Alaster's attack would do anything is if the isopod was too slow in either attacking or defending from Alaster.

Meanwhile, the crows continued to peck and attack G and Goliath. Three of them were attacking the isopod, while the other four were attacking G himself. Fortunately for him, Alaster was too busy trying to fend off Goliath to be able to focus on shooting G. If he could ignore or fend off the crows, then there would not be much stopping G from approaching Alaster to either beat him, try to subdue him, or both.

Still, Alaster was not about to give up so easily.
