Star Force Gemini 2 Chapter Four [Part Two]

"A couple of Nissan SR20's would pull a premium one week before race wars." C41212105 screamed to 김재민 who was perched on the door frame of his car. 
"I'm not Ω, I don't really even like those Fast movies!" 김재민 shouted back.
"Whatever! Just trying to break the tension! Do you see him!?" 
"No, but I do see a few buildings over there," 김재민 pointed off the freeway toward a overpopulated part of the city. The streets ran so close together people couldn't drive cars through them. "falling apart. That's probably him."
"Well, fuck! What's the plan?" C41212105 shouted, his eyes ping-ponging between the road and 김재민.
"Hahaha! C41212105 you should know by now that we don't plan." 김재민 shouted back. "Just get me as close to the guard rail as you can! I'm talking paint should be flaking off this car your dad bought you with the interest his companies made AFTER you were born!"
"Hahahaha!" C41212105 let out his iconic giggle accompanied by his trademarked boyish grin. "Umadbro?"
"Hey, turn that up! I love this song!" 김재민 screamed. He meant the radio, DJ Machete was playing 'The First Punch' by Pierce the Veil.

C41212105 moved the car toward the guard rail as 김재민 arched his back. He anticipated the car's movement and in one fell swoop, leaped off the car and over the railing. He flew through the air for a few moments before landing on a cable wire and sliding down it. As he gained speed and felt his shoes begin to heat up, 김재민 leaped from the wire and landed on a nearby building, rolling to keep his momentum. He sprinted out of the roll toward the end of the building and jumped off it. 김재민 saw a gazebo and landed on it, bounced off it and landed on another building. He was rapidly approaching the falling buildings. He could hear the screams of sirens off in the distance.

"Your tax dollars at work." He said in his head. 
It was at that moment that his weight shifted and the building he was on began to shake.
"YES!" 김재민 shouted. "Looks like I'm Irish today!" As the building started to shift it's weight 김재민 saw some more cable lines begin to snap from their holding in the roof. 
He dove for them.
Snatched one in his fist. 
Swung back toward the building.
And smashed through an exterior window.
He flew into some tranny's room and as he slid, on his knees, across the carpeted floor, he saw the tranny was loading up his lingerie into a suitcase. 
Still sliding, he reached the door, sprung to his feet and shattered his way through the door.
In the hallway now, he continued with his path and shatters his way through another door. 
This time he found himself in an empty room and rushed toward the window.
Before he could even hear the glass shatter he was preparing to land.
He rolled as he hit the ground and in that flash of moments saw [Jestro] breaking out of the very same building.
"Yo! [Jestro]!" 김재민 shouted. [Jestro] reacts. He looked at 김재민 and his eyes turn from a dull blue to an evil crimson. "That's right."
김재민 sprinted toward [Jestro], who cocked his head to it's side, and leaped into the air. 김재민 pulled a weapon [presumably from his ass because there was no context for this weapon during this chapter, but it was there, strapped to his back] from his back and smashed it down to Earth.
[Jestro] rolled out of the way as 김재민, who just slammed Baltazar's hammer into the ground, pulverizing it. 
[Jestro] returned the favor by extending one of it's arms at 김재민, like a tentacle.
김재민 wasn't fast enough to react in time and was launched into the still crumbling building.
"Dude," 김재민 said out loud. "that fucking hammer is heavy. I give that dude props for being so agile with it." Then he stood up. "Come on you Green Pikachu [Jestro], let's end this." 
김재민 rushed [Jestro] again, this time revealing a shattered sword. He swung it down like a hammer using both hands.
It connected.
Bits of the [Jestro] suit sprayed on the ground.
김재민 pulled the sword back and saw that he had removed quite a bit of the suit. The corpse of one of his best friends looked at him. The cold dead eyes starring at him as the virus-like suit slithered back over the face.
"You gotta be fucking kidding!"

Eyes Swollen Shut Chapter 3

"Any luck, bro?" Edwardo asked me in the break room before work.
"Dude, how many times-" He cut me off.
"Sorry, sorry sorry. Any luck, Dude?" He was considerate. Which should be a good thing, except it looked like only me and his daughter took any care in noticing things like that. After all, he didn't need to be so considerate after what he caught from his ex wife a few months ago.
"There's there are these two things; a graveyard custodial job and a job being an entertainer."
"YOU an entertainer!? That I've gotta see!" He was taking his sweater off and looking for his name tag, I just left mine on my work shirt.
"Its not anything sexual, I don't think. It just says that I should have experience doing make up or costuming."
"Yeah, maybe now you can do something with that degree of yours. Which wasn't in make uping or costuming." He giggled and it made me laugh.
"No, I don't but I did take a few courses of special effects make up." I stood up and he shut his locker.
"That's right, I always forget that's where you met Rachel. Bitch." Edwardo knew not to say much more on the subject, it still pissed me off a bit.
"Yeah, so I think I might call both. The make up one doesn't have much info beyond that, the other one is six nights a week." We both walked out onto the floor. The lights were still off, not that we needed them on to get around, making the whole place kind of eerie.
"Damn, dude. You're starting to get on my level. I'm telling you though, you won't regret bringing in those big checks. But you'll miss having days off, that's for sure." Edwardo grabbed a small white towel from a bag we had underneath the sinks and started spraying it with all purpose soap.
"Yeah, I bet."
"So when are you going to call them?"
"I dunno, maybe on my lunch." I said as I started turning all the machines on.
"Hell yeah, dude! Do it." He said as he began cleaning the tables off.

I called both jobs, the custodial work told me to come in to their main office the next day and the other one just prompted me to record a voicemail, which was a bit odd. But I did both, got the job at the custodial place working in an office building six nights a week with an old black guy named Tony. But I still didn't get a reply from the entertainer position so I just stopped thinking about it.

"What we got here is a buncha' filthy college graduates with no respect for the real workers of the world, Brad." Tony told me on my first day. He would be training me for the rest of the week and then we would split up the work from then on.
"What do you mean exactly?" I ask him, I'm still not used to the stiff uniform I'm forced to wear.
"I mean exactly that! All the people who work here, damn! You'd swear they mama' never taught 'em how to throw trash away!" We started walking down the corridors. The whole night Tony told me about the people who worked in the building while the sun was up. He wasn't kidding either, my younger sisters had cleaner play areas than the cubicles in this place. But we weren't allowed to touch any personal stuff, just 'trash and shit' as Tony called it. In reality, we spent more time cleaning the windows and floors than anything else, sure there was a bathroom on each of the seven floors, but that only took about fifteen minutes per bathroom. This job wasn't nearly as hard as I had originally thought.
"Now once ya' able to fly on ya' own you can do whatever ya' like. If ya' got one of them iPads, you can listen to it all ya' want. Just no makin' calls, can you dig it?"
"Sure thing, Tony." I say.
This may have been a good idea afterall, I'll have to thank Edwardo for the idea.

Star Force Gemini 2 Chapter Four [Part One]

"My God, we were so wrong." **SuPeRfUcKiNgStAr** said as the four of them sat around a cluttered Starfucks table.
"We really were," 김재민 replied. "He wasn't pissed at all, well maybe he is, but he's in Hell."
"This is some heavy shit, you guys." C41212105 said, then he got up and went to the counter to buy another iced coffee.
"So what are you guys going to do?" **SuPeRfUcKiNgStAr** asked. "That black guy said he was going to use Ryan to take over the world, you guys can't let that happen."
"Don't tell us what we can and can't do." Ω said. "We're all here for a reason."
"He's right." 김재민 added. "If we were against the idea of trying to bust him outta Hell we would be home watching videos on Spankwire, but we aren't."
"Well, there is wifi here so we could, but its blocked. Fuckin' [Jestro]! Why'd he have to get his ass killed by that teleporting ass-bag in the first place?" Ω screamed.
"I dunno, dick. We got there just as it happened, remember?" 김재민 responded. "Its like he chose to die."
"Well, some legends say that the inhabitants of Hell can perceive all time, but are unable to do anything about it." C41212105 said returning to his seat empty handed.
"But that would mean you'd have to believe in Hell and Heaven and God and the Devil." **SuPeRfUcKiNgStAr** added. "And Ryan didn't."
"Which means he's probably in either Purgatory or the first circle of Hell." 김재민 said.
"I dunno dude, I think the three of us would end up right next to the Devil, buried up to our eyes in ice." Ω said.
"Why?" **SuPeRfUcKiNgStAr** asked.
"Because we betrayed our leaders." 김재민 said.
"And we're mass murders." 
"Yeah, that too."
"I have a carmel macchiato for Carlos!" The Barista shouted out to the room.
"That's me!" C41212105 shouted and left the table again.
"So do we try to find a way into Hell and free [Jestro] or do we just try to stop Cazad, the Great here on Earth?" 김재민 asked Ω.
"C. All of the above." Ω responded.
"How?" **SuPeRfUcKiNgStAr** asked taking a sip of her Passion Tea.
"We split up, two and two." Ω said.
"I'm not staying with Carlos again!" She screamed.
"Hell, I'm not staying with you! Or did you forget that one time you threw up all over my car?" He said as he returned to the table, macchiato in hand.
"Shut up." She replied.
"Fine, C41212105 and I will follow Cazad, the Great and keep him from taking over the world with Zombie [Jestro]." 김재민 said. "And you two can go to Hell. Literally."
"Why do I have to go with him!?" **SuPeRfUcKiNgStAr** screamed.
"Because your family doesn't own an island off the coast of Siberia." C41212105 said.
"What does that have to do with anything?" She asked, offended.
"I'm rich, bitch. I can afford to travel the world following Cazad, the Great and/or Zombie [Jestro]."
"Fuckin Yuppie." Ω said. Then he stood up. "Alright, let's do this then." 
"Wait! How the hell are we getting to..." **SuPeRfUcKiNgStAr** paused.
"To Hell?" C41212105 asked, giggling.
"Yeah, didn't think that one through did ya, dipshit?" Ω asked as he headed for the door.
"Ooh, sick burn!" 김재민 shouted covering his mouth with a fist.
"Shut up!" **SuPeRfUcKiNgStAr** screamed and chased after Ω. "But seriously, how are we getting there?"
"I have a feeling [EsTe-Tr@nCe] might know a way into Hell." Ω said walking up to his car.
"Who?" She said walking to the passenger side door.
"This dude who brainwashed the city this one time." Ω put his keys in the ignition. "If it wasn't for your boyfriend we'd all be fucking crazy and dead. Like that movie The Signal."
"Andrew?" **SuPeRfUcKiNgStAr** asked.
"Nah, bitch. Your real boyfriend, the dude we're going to Hell to save." He started the car. It roared.
"[Jestro]?" She asked.
"And don't you fucking forget it." He threw it into first and sped out of the parking lot.

Back inside Starfucks.

"Dude, how are we going to find Cazad, the Great?" C41212105 asked holding his beverage in his hands.
"By following the path of destruction." 김재민 replied. "And for the record, this is a stupid fucking idea, JUST so we're clear."
"You really think so?"
"I'd bet every last dollar I made from assassinating that this will be the hardest job yet."
"Well, why not get to it, right?" C41212105 stood up, like a boss. "Carpe diem and all that."
"Words to live by." 김재민 stood up." They walked out and towards C41212105's car. "Does your family have like a vault full of weapons or something? I'm going to need a bunch of shit, like a Mary Poppins bag full of goodies."
"Well, not really but I do have some shit in my truck, peep 'em." C41212105 said. he opened the truck and pulled out a shattered sword and hammer."
"Is that Shattered Sword's...shattered sword? And Baltazar's hammer?!" 김재민 was nerding out.
"Yeah."
"How'd you get them?"
"I know a guy who knows a guy." C41212105 smirked.
"Holy shit." 
"Sup?" C41212105 asked. "What's wrong?"
"These go to 11." 김재민 said.
