EPIC SIDESTORY: LOVER'S DUEL CONTINUED

[actuallyhornets.livejournal.com]

[Pain got a call from Viper fifty minutes ago telling him to show up for a fight or he'd kill Alek.]

[Forty minutes ago, Pain called his 'nephew' Ocelot for help and started a plan.]

[Twenty-five minutes ago, The Pain used Mantis to find the Sorrow and figured out the plan.]

[And now he's waiting for Sorrow to report back on the state of Viper's traps before he goes to confront him. He's going to rescue Alek, no matter what he has to do.]

[The Pain is here. The Pain is not happy.]

[The Pain is ready.]

A while ago.

[That could range from a few minutes ago, or even an hour ago. Either or, did it really matter?]

Why didn't he tell you?

[Owl's a little irritated, and a mix of other things. Or did he tell the whole 'This is my fight' thing to Hawk as well?]

[notayaoifanboy.livejournal.com]

[Hawk glanced at him, a bit irritated. He should have known that he wasn't going to get a straight answer out of him.]

I don't know why he didn't tell me.

[He frowns. Was he not a valued enough member to be told these things?]

Do you know who killed him?

[Hawk was pretty sure he knew as well, but he wanted to make sure.]

[compulsive-owl.livejournal.com]

[Maybe Viper thought it was smart to fight alone. He would never say that aloud though.. Just keep it to himself.]

The Pain.

[He was sure that was who killed him at least.]

I'm sure it was.

[And he could bet money that it was the same way he died.. Or maybe Viper just ran into someone with a flamethrower.]

[Hawk figured as much. However, when he had met Pain, he really didn't seem like that bad of a guy. Granted, he had killed his comrade and friend before arriving here, but he didn't seem to have a vendetta against Hawk at all. Was there something else involved in this matter?]

I wonder if there were others involved in his death.

I don't think that our leader would be taken down so easily by one man.

[compulsive-owl.livejournal.com]

[Well, if it wasn't for the fact Owl had killed Para-Medic.. Pain would have seemed like a nice guy, but for that fact alone Owl didn't like him. He did like the other Pain though, a guy like that could even scare him.~]

Who else do you think was involved?

[Hawk had a point, but a man covered in hornets would be hard to take down.. And-- Wait. So, was that a small hint that one man would easily take down Owl >/ ]

[notayaoifanboy.livejournal.com]

...I don't know. The man spoke of being in a unit of his own. Perhaps one of them assisted him.

[Well, Owl did get pretty easily distracted. It was entirely possible. :3]

In either case, do not put haste in taking action. We should both lay low, until Viper comes back.

[compulsive-owl.livejournal.com]

Fine.

[And it would be easy to take down that Hawk of yours >[ ]

Who were you talking to back there?

[Can't see dead people. :D]

[notayaoifanboy.livejournal.com]

[Hawk paused. He didn't expect Owl to believe him, but...]

...it seems as though I have the power to see the dead.

It was Viper.

[Good thing he can't, otherwise he'd get his ass haunted forty-two ways to Christmas.]
