Le Bouffon

It was at Ilium, the City of Lights, that Flitterman could be seen chasing Le Bouffon.

" Holdt, Triboulet! '' yelled Flitterman, but the jester could only be heard letting out a hearty laughter.

" All is fun and life is my playground, and I enjoy toying with the lives of the innocent " sang Le Bouffon, joyfully, as Flitterman was chasing him from rooftop to rooftop.

Flitterman finally managed to tackle Le Bouffon, but it resulted in them both falling straight into an alleyway.

Le Bouffon, still smiling, was unconscious on the ground.

Flitterman was unscaved thanks to his suit; SCP-5000 modified.

" Time to get you to jail " said Flitterman, as he picked up the villain.

Flitterman quickly ducked, and that was when a gunshot hit the wall behind him.

" Kindly step out into the light " said Flitterman, as he glared into the shadows.

Footsteps could now be heard approaching.

When the light shone on the individual, Flitterman saw what appeared to be a man; dressed in futuristic knight's armor.

" Who are you? " said Flitterman, as the stranger was pointing a gun at him.

" I am the Black Knight " said the stranger, whose armor was all black.

Flitterman felt a cold horror, as he recognized the Black Knight's voice.

" Benjamin… " uttered Flitterman in disbelief.

A shot was fired near Flitterman's legs.

" Don't you dare call me that " said the Black Knight through his gritted teeth.

" I… I… " stammered Flitterman.

" Lost for words? " said the Black Knight with what sounded like a smile; " murderer "

The Black Knight could not see it, for both he and Flitterman were wearing masks, but Flitterman had a sad look on his face.

For you see, dear reader, Flitterman is indeed a hero.

But, once upon a time, he went by a different name; Spring Heeled Jack - a villain.

Spring Heeled Jack was a mighty and unrivaled villain. He was good at stealing and killing.

But, one day, Spring Heeled Jack suddenly vanished, and that was also when Flitterman appeared.

What the general public did not know was that Flitterman, as Spring Heeled Jack, had gunned down a family within an alley.

But, only the parents were killed, the boy, Benjamin, was spared.

On that day, a villain became a hero, and an innocent boy was filled with the need for revenge.

Benjamin became the anti-hero known as; The Black Knight. Who enjoyed the use of weapons and guns.

" Benjamin… " uttered Flitterman.

The Black Knight fired, but his bullet did not manage to pierce Flitterman's suit.

" I am sorry… "

The Black Knight was silent, but only for a moment.

" I often wondered; why did he spare me? But in the end, it did not really matter "

The Black Knight now put his gun away.

" I have much to make amends for… " said Flitterman.

The Black Knight just looked at the man who had murdered his parents.

" I will get my revenge, one day. But, until that day… "

The Black Knight now flew away by using his futuristic rocket-jetpack.

Flitterman looked up at the sky, he then lowered his gaze to the cold ground.
