Chapter 21: That's What I'm Here For

{June}

Of every plan he's thought of, this is the most rage driven. "I'm gonna tear that bastards feathers off one by one!" He said getting closer to his uncles office. Once he got outside of it he could hear his uncle rummaging around inside. He kicked through the door and took out his sword. "Nephew! What a lovely-". His uncle stopped talking once he saw the vials in his pocket. "Kid," He started saying.

"I'm gonna need you to hand over those vials. You got two choices, easy or hard. It's your call!". June pointed his sword at him and said "Oh please, drop the act! I know you wanted his research so the only way you're getting these off me is quite literally, over my dead body.". His uncle prepared himself as June swung his sword.... Nothing? June went pale to see his weapon not daring to touch his uncle.

'Is this the same thing that happened to the scythe?!' He thought. "Surprised? June, allow me to explain a few things: first, I owned that weapon before! Second, your father made me lose the weapon, but I managed to maintain enough control to keep it from doing any damage to me! One of the reasons you found it. And third, so what if he's finished? That's what I'm here for!".

June then remembered something. 'Dad's recording said that too much of that gas has negative drawbacks.... I might die.'. He took out all the vials and slammed them into his uncles face. He reeled back and June went for the closest exit: The window. He broke through and with a wince flies to open ground. He takes a second to breathe but then looks up to see his mother, mid air, with a deadpan look. "JUNE?!" "MOM?!".

His mother landed on the ground and ran over to him hugging him. "Are you okay?! I heard you got grabbed and-" She tried saying. June interrupted her saying "We'll talk later okay, right now we've got bigger things to worry about!". His uncle then jumps down from the window saying "I might be a bit weakened, but you are SO dead when I get to you!!!!".

White spines goes through his shoulder and he gets kicked to the ground. "NIKI?!" June yells as she steps down on him. She uses her boots and boost up in the air saying "Zira!". Zira comes in and throws him through a jet black portal and carter hits him towards the ground, forcing his wings out. May comes out of another portal with her scythe, and- *SLICE*".

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". His uncle lands on the ground and gets pinned down by the one and only Aiviation. "Axel you son of a bitch!" His mother said. June walks over with his sword and his uncle says "Wait- you need me! Who'll handle the business, and you can't just-". June crouches down to him and Aiviation spreads his wings. "But uncle Axel, so what if you're dead? That's what I'm here for!".

"How do you like having a weapon Carter?" June asked him. "My weapon can teleport, I think I now understand how great it feels to be overpowered!". Zira walks over to him and says "Nice hair by the way. I don't get why you'd hide it though.". June just shrugs and says "Hey, we only need one more weapon to complete the set!". They all put their weapons together and June says "I need to talk to my mom for a second, okay?".

He walks over to her and she says "I see you're leaving again.". "Mom.... As much as I want to stay I can't! This could be my one shot at finally doing something, I don't know.... Meaningful! I'm not you or dad, I can't stay in one place and listen to the same old tunes over and over again!". She turns around and says to him "I know.".

".... What?" June ask surprised. "I can handle the family stuff until you return, I'll be rooting for you but just promise me," She says taking his hand. "Promise that you'll come home safe!". June sighs and says "I promise, and if something happens, please let me know okay?".

.

"So where next?" June ask. "Well we've got most of the weapons, so now we just have to get the gauntlets of insects and then find out Darren's plan!" Zira said. "I have a few acquaintances in insects, so this might make the job easy!" Carter says. "Well then let's get to it!".

"I'm telling you guys, she'll help us!" Ace says as they get to a phone. "Give me a sec," He says pulling out a phone number. "Hey sis! You wouldn't happen to have any bounties regarding a certain-.... REALLY?! Great! I'll send you the coordinates now! Bring us back all that they have!". He hangs up and Emerald questions him with "And how do we know this will work?".

Darren backs her up saying "She's right, we've already got enough people on our asses as it is! How do we know she won't just-". Ace sprints to them in a split second grabbing both their throats. "She's my sister. If you have an issue with her then allow her to prove a point!". He lets them go and says "Also, she's a bounty hunter. When you meet her we'll give her 48 hours to try to solo them and then come back.".

"If she ends them now? We'll just have 4 more weapons!".
