The Suicide Guardians: Pride’s Revival

After the mishaps, the trio continues their journey to find a town with several corpses in front of the main gate.

HDS: What happened here?

Zetsumei: Could it b- Zetsumei is shot in the head and its hood falls down.

Zetsumei continues to walk to the town despite the slow-healing hole in its head.

Zetsumei: I suggest both of you back up if you don’t want to die. If my suspicion is correct, you need to find some cover and quickly.

HDS and Rocketman retreat behind a tree.

As Zetsumei approaches closer to the gate, it is shot several more times.

Zetsumei: This is getting annoying. Can you please stop firing at me or I’ll have to scare you, sniper-san?

A shot is fired again but Zetsumei disappeared. It reappeared on the left watchtower standing behind a person. Zetsumei rests a sickle on the shoulder of the person, ready to behead them, if needed.

Zetsumei: Drop the gun or you might lose your head…

The person responds by shouting, “Never!” then rolling away from Zetsumei.

Zetsumei: So, it is you… The most wanted man in the world and the greatest sniper. Do you wish to continue this futile dance of yours or will you listen to what I have to say?

The man sighs and removes his mask, a Japanese oni mask painted black and red.

Man: Well, what is it, Mr. Productive?

Zetsumei: Heh, I haven’t heard that title in a long time… So, how are you, Humility’s Right Hand?

Man: So, it is you… Are you hear to capture me or was your death a cover for something else?

Zetsumei: Heh, I see your title of Humility’s Unspoken Fear wasn’t exaggerated. You could’ve been a virtue on your intellect alone.

Man: Going back to the topic at hand, what does the only other person Humility fears want with me?

Zetsumei: I went rogue and I want to recruit you.

Man: Judging by your attire, I doubt you’re joking. Why me, though? I’m a sinner.

Zetsumei snorts then says, “So, everyone in my group is a sinner, myself included. Your sin is light compared to mine.

Man: I destroyed a town due to my overconfidence! How can that be light!?

Zetsumei: You never destroyed a town willingly. Sure, it was on orders but a part of me wanted to destroy my home. You weren’t expecting the traitor to have a sword capable of deflecting your bullets. The fact the bullet ricocheted into a giant supply of explosives wasn’t your fault.

Man: I don’t you’ll back down so I’ll join you. I pity anyone that has to fight you in battle.

Zetsumei: Welcome to the Sins, Mf. Your code name will be Superbia. Your title will be the Conceited.

Zetsumei gives Mf a seal of a white dragon as they walk to the others.

Zetsumei sighs as it sees anime-style animal statues made of ice. Zetsumei facepalms as it sees HDS working on Kanchome from Zatch Bell then Mf puts on Parco Folgore’s Japanese song.

Zetsumei: Why do you even have that song of your mp3!?

Mf: It’s oddly catchy…

Rocketman: What does oppai mean?

Zetsumei: No one tell him… I don’t want my story to get a M-rating….

Rocketman: On what? It’s not like you have it published anywhere besides SP.

Zetsumei: Don’t make me curse you…

Rocketman: With what?

Zetsumei: How would you like to have the height of a 6-year-old and the body of a 100-year-old?

Rocketman: You can do that?

Zetsumei: Yes.

Zetsumei changes rocketman so he is as tall as a 6-year-old but has the body of a 100-year-old.

Rocketman: NO! YOU… *censored due to the writer not wanting to type an extremely long string of curses*

HDS stares at rocketman in shock while leaving her unfinished but headless pikachu statue to melt…

Zetsumei: You know if the top was red, it would look like you decapitated pikachu, HDS.

HDS recovers then looks at her statue then yells, “No! My cute statue is dying!”

Mf sighs and thinks, “What have I gotten myself into…”

The group will resume their journey tomorrow morning.
