Every Scar has a Story

A few minutes later, all of the Noblemen came to his room.

Zao came close and hit him on the head. They are all glad that Lukas is now okay. 

"Dodge the bullet asshole!"

"Pluto used Glock 9mm, the bullet flies from approximately 1000 up to 1180 feet per second. So it's impossible for him to dodge it unless he's expecting it" says Black.

"You've got a nice token from your first mission" Kidd said.

Lukas sighed and said "but I've failed it"

"It is fine, it just happened that you encountered the Dispatcher" says Kidd.

To cheer up Lukas maro said

"We have scars from missions too"

Maro removed his shirt and turned around. Pointing at his back he said

"Can you see this? The short horizontal slash. I got that in my 13th mission. My target was my old buddy, I hesitated to kill him so I told him I will let him go. Unfortunately as soon as a turned my back against him, he tried to kill me with his knife. That's the time I learned that a knife always stabs from behind. After that incident I killed all my targets without hesitation and no one sneaks behind me anymore."

Kidd raised his both hands and said

"I received a lot of scars too, but it will consume a lot of our time if I talked about it. Mister is the interesting one here. I think he's been on a lot of missions but only have two scars"

Mister left the room. I thought he was mad because Kidd started talking about him. Kidd said that Mister just don't talk about those things but he isn't mad.

"You know what? He always tell me that he only have two scars, but all I can see is one. I'm starting to think that he is cut on his private parts" says Kidd.

"Just tell us how he got those scars Kidd" Maro said.

"Okay fine. Psycho gave him the first scar according to him. He said that he and Psycho was once good friends. According to him Psycho was once a good guy but suddenly changed without him knowing the reason. Psycho's changed a lot more when they fell in love with the same woman. Then one rainy night Psycho entered Mister's house. They fought until both of them is no longer able to move a finger. "

"So that's where their rivalry started? How about the other scar?" Lukas asked.

"I was there when he got that scar. It was 19 years ago, he was the one who did it. He should be dead by now if it wasn't because of me. He must have undergone something very painful that he would try to kill himself" says Kidd.

"Is that all you know about the scar he made?" Lukas asked.

Kidd nodded and went out of his room with Black and Maro. Zao and Rain were left in his room.

"How about you Zao? Any stories about your scars in battle?" Lukas asked Zao.

Zao crossed her arms and looked down. She started talking in a serious voice.

"I don't usually get scars because my method of killing, but I got a lot of scars from my father" says Zao.

"I'm sorry, you don't need to tell me if you don't want to" Lukas replied.

"It's okay, I have moved on already. I was sexually and physically abused by my father when I was a child. I got a lot of burns from him. He keeps hurting whenever I tried to stop him from using my body" says Zao.

Lukas comforted Zao with a warm hug while patting her head.

"I'm sorry because this is all I can do to help you relieve the pain" says Lukas.

Lukas called Rain and asked her to take Zao her room because she started crying. Rain and Zao sat on her bed then Rain gave Zao a nice warm hug to comfort her.

"Big sis Zao, nobody would dare to hurt you now" says Rain.

"Thank you Rain, promise me that you will take care of yourself" says Zao.

Rain looked into Zao's eyes and  made a promise. Zao laid on her bed and rest.

"I'll be going now Big Sis Zao" says Rain.

The night after. Mister asked for a meeting. He showed them a tracking device. Everyone was shocked.

"I found this on Kidd's clothes. This is how they found out that we are on the Philippines." Says Mister.

"So we have to change hideouts again?" Kidd said.

"Of course, take everything you need we'll leave in 30 minutes. Black tell Jojo and Tony that we have to leave. Someone help Lukas pack his things" Mister said.

"I'll do it" Zao said as she raised her hand.

The whole mansion became very busy. After Mister finished packing his things, he went to where is Lukas.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Come in! " Says Lukas.

"Did I disturb your sleep?" Mister asked.

"Not at all, I was just about to sleep. I kept thinking about how I lost to Pluto easily" Lukas said.

"Don't worry about that you still have more room for improvements. All you need is to train more and train harder. By the way pack your things we are leaving" says Mister.

Without anymore questions Lukas stood up took a shower.

After Lukas finished getting ready Zao entered his room and offered him help in packing his things.

Meanwhile in an underground basement of Psycho in Tokyo.

Psycho was waiting for Pluto's report. Sitting on his throne Psycho was laughing alone like a mad man.

His underground basement looks like an abandoned warehouse. It is filled with cobwebs and the walls got cracks.

"You will meet your end in my hands Maverick Reaper" Those are the words that's in Psycho's mind.

"Aaargh!"  Psycho screamed in anger.

"As soon as I got my hands on your son I will destroy you all over again!" Says Psycho as he laughed like a mad man.

One of his servants arrived and announced that the aircrafts are ready to attack the Noblemen's coordinates anytime.

"Sir, as we speak, Pluto's watching the Noblemen's movement. He says that they're planning to leave the place" says his servant.

"Bomb their location!" Psycho said with a smirk.

"Yes sir!" Says his servant.

"Start the Operation : Abomination" his servant announced.

At the same time in the Philippines. Everyone is done packing up. The Noblemen were in the living room explaining to Jojo why they have to leave.

"Before you leave there is something I want to show you outside" Jojo stated and led the way. All of the Noblemen went outside except for Lukas.

Not to far from the mansion there is a an old dead tree. Jojo handed Mister a key and pointed the keyhole on the tree.

Mister was about to take a look on what's in the tree, but Jojo stopped him.

"Now is not the time. What's inside is everything you need when the time comes" Jojo said.

Lukas was playing catch with Rain inside the mansion. Rain threw the ball and it went outside. Lukas came out and picked up the ball, as he was going to return inside he heard a sound coming from an aircraft. Then all of a sudden *BOOM!*.

There was huge blast that destroyed a part of the mansion where Rain is.

"Rain!" Lukas screamed and rushed inside but Mister grabbed and stopped him.

*BOOM!* Another bomb was drop in the mansion. This time it destroyed half of it and set it on fire. If Mister did not make it in time Lukas could have died.

Zao ran inside. Another aircraft is approaching, the bomb was drop *BOOM!* The whole mansion was eaten by strong flames of destruction.

"Zao! Zao! Zao!" We screamed

Then Zao walked through the flames carrying Rain's body. We rushed to them and helped Zao. She placed Rain's body on the ground. Rain is not breathing and she doesn't have pulse. Zao gave her a CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).

After few minutes Rain did not make it. She died in Zao's arms.

After that no more attacks happened. We buried Rain's body. Everyone was silent, we took Jojo and Tony with us.

We rented a hotel. I can hear Tony and Zao crying, they are the closest to Rain.

"Mister is that Psycho's doing?" Lukas asked.

"Probably he's the only one I can think of that can do that" Mister answered.

"Losing someone leaves a scar in your heart. It may not be visible to others, but it is often the most painful" Mister added.

In Tokyo, Japan 9 o'clock in the evening

"Sir we have destroyed their hideout, but failed to kill even a single Noblemen" says Psycho's servant.

"No casualties?" Psycho asked.

"I think there is one. A girl who lives in the mansion was caught in the explosion" says his servant.

"That's a good torture for them! Hahahaha"
