Chapter 59 - A talk with a elder

Next day I sat in my room sitting across from me was Betty and Rage there helmets resting on the table Betty was nervously clinching her hands as she her eyes flicked between me and the hallowgran screen in front of us that showed Betty beating the caption to one of my mining ships to say Betty beat this man black and blue would be a understatement wall this happened Rage was looking through the ships navigation history that is when she found this place on the computer Rage told Betty that she had found the destination Betty turned around with a angry snarl good this made didn't give me shit take him away and lock him with the rest and dont treat his wounds with that the man was picked up by Betty man and dragged him away Betty side and sat down in the captions chair saying take us there at one's sister Hunter has a lot to answer for how dare he hurt my little girl with Rage side responding as she took control of the ships controls calm yourself little sister the boy is many things but he is no fool nor is he known to be merciful to those who have harmed his own Betty snarled as she spat are you tell me I am overreacting Rage shrugged I can't say little sister sense I have no idea what your going through sense I can not have children of my own but all I am saying is for you to take a breath and think over your actions cuz it might have only been a short time to us but that boy was thrust into the flames of hell and he came out stronger the Hunter James Dragny we know is long gone and a stronger more experienced one has replaced him and if the rumors are anything to go off of he is not a man we can take lightly Betty snarl got deeper as she spat I do not care who the child is nor how experience he is he dared to break my little girls heart and for that I will break his face if my name is Betty Dragon pilot to the Blackpearl Mecha Rage side mumbling I hope we don't regret this with that the ship jumped the video sped up till the ship appeared over our planet I tasked a few people to chart safe ways through the dead zone as I was gone and it would seem one of the groups found a clear path the moment the ship appeared over the planet they could see a storm raging on normally Rage glanced back to Betty saying I will ask to land but Betty growled you will do no such thing we are landing now weather they like it or not with that Betty took over the controls the ship already had a location in its navigations all Betty had to do was land there but as the ship started entering the atmosphere someone hailed there ship and a hologram or Heavy appeared ship 227 pull up now you can not enter the atmosphere if you do you will disturbed the storm making it worse but Betty yelled back clone Heavy I do not care for your stupid excuses we are landing right now and honestly if your base can't withstand a little storm that is your own damn fault so shut up and let me see my daughter and tell your caption he better show up the moment when we land to welcome us Heavy opened his mouth to respond but Betty cut the call with that the ship entered the atmosphere the moment she did the storm shuttered more intensely and as the lightning flashed around them they landed in my base where they was welcomed by Heavy, Copper and Buck but the moment Betty scanner over them and didn't see me her face want red with rage and in a angry shout she said where the fuck is that bastar but before she could finish Heavy swivel gun in his shoulder jumped to life three shots struck right at Betty feet this made Betty jump back a look of shock then absolute fury spread across her face but before she could talk the cold but commanding voice that was Heavy spoke shut it woman I do not care if your father is dating mother but in this place you have no power here you are no longer in the moon empire territory hell this isn't even leviathan territory O no this is the land of the KT company and so you best watch them damn manners or else you will be treated like any other criminal Betty snarled but huffed whatever where is my daughter Heavy turned around saying two words follow me with that he lead them to the training ground where Cortana was training Helge I watched everything play out from Betty and Cortana little spat to even my death squad arresting Betty and Rage here this hole time throughout this hole thing my face was cold there was no anger, no love there was nothing but cold calculating calm that was up in tell I heard Helge declaration to the world how she was going to fight her way back into my heart when I heard that a smile spread across my face but it was not one of happiness nor anger it was a smile of sadness and hurt the smile of a man who had his world savagely ripped from his heart by the hands of someone else a enemy nonetheless this was the smile of a man who just heard what us to be his world say they was going to come back into my heart even though the wound has already been dealt and there was no more room left in this small heart of mine this was the smile of a man who just heard something so absurd he had to smile I chuckled as I shook my head but there was no worth in my laughter nor in my eyes and in the next second a beastly snarl spread across my face as I spat to the side hissing how absurd with that I leaned back in my chair and crossed my legs as I did so the hallowgram disappeared and my cold green serpentine slits fell on the two woman across from me Rage didn't react feeling my look but Betty shuttered slightly but a intense silence fell over us as I just stared at these two woman with my cold eyes Rage continued to look forward with no reaction on her face wall Betty was nervously twirling her fingers together as she kept glancing in my direction but she couldn't even look at my body let alone into my eyes it was obvious that she was nervous but the simple fact this woman a leviathan no a Dragon warrior such as her self was nervous sitting in front of a kid who hadn't reached adulthood in his age made this powerful and influential woman nervous said a lot about me and the influence I wield but they was fellow leviathan ones more these two was my elder's boyfriend daughters to harm them could cause my grandmother some headaches but still one of them harmed some members in my company my eyes flicked to Betty wall the other let it happen and my eyes flicked to Rage who had no expression on her face I looked back forward and side my sy seemed to echo through the room all the tension and stress seemed to leave my body as I side what a mess I stood up and walked behind the two where there was a small table that had a coffee maker and fridge but right there next to the coffee maker was a still made for making alcohol and the strong shit at that I opened the fridge before pulling out one glass jar that had a clear liquid in it I then grabbed three plastic cups before walking back in front of the two and taking a seat where I silently unscrewed the lid from the jar and poured a bit of this clear liquid into the cups before sliding them in front of the two who looked at me with confusion I picked up my cup saying only one-word drink with that I took a sip from my cup and the moment I did so I got a strong apple taste as the back of my throat got warm but the liquid smoothly want down almost to smooth when I looked up I seen Rage had already picked up her cup and drank a few sips her normally cold expressionless face lit up as she smiled at the taste of the alcohol wall Betty picked up her cup and down the hole thing in one go the moment she did her cheeks got red and she started to cough what was that she gasped I chuckled 190 proof moonshine homemade from the white apples from Nigrna a little slice of home Rage held up her cup nodding but Betty put down her cup as a complicated expression want across her face y I raised a eyebrow as I leaned forward and refilled her cup saying y what misses Betty she snarled hearing my words as she finally looked up into my eyes saying y do all this y share this with us y show respect to us after what we have done especially what I have done I shrugged coldly looking into her eyes responding you are fellow leviathan and my elders so it isn't the Dragny way to be disrespectful to are elders that maybe not your Dragons way but its mine so y shouldn't I share something I had made that reminds me of home I then took a sip from my cup before leaning back in my chair coldly stating or dont you know the old saying kill them with kindness Betty glares down at her cup as she gritted her teeth with confusion meanwhile Rage smacked her lips as she took another sip from her cup as she said how smooth and quite good tasting too tell me Hunter did you really brew this I nodded I did indeed she chuckled its surprising before she finished her cup before putting her cup on the table and slid it towards me I smiled and refilled her cup asking what's so surprising misses Rage and I slid her cup back to her she picked it up and slowly twirled the liquid in the cup the reflection from the liquid shining off her face as she looked into her cup with a sad smile as she spoke its just surprising that hands that are so good at killing can make something so delicious you can make things that are almost life-like it makes me curious at what else them hands of yours can do I chuckled putting down my cup as I responded well thank you kindly miss rage but and I rapped my fists together and the distinct noise of scale male hitting each other range forth both Rage and Betty eyes want wide hearing that noise as I picked up my cup and took a sip saying as you can see my hands are no longer flesh and blood but of steal a sad expression want across there faces as Betty muttered we had no idea that you and she paused there scared to go on I looked into my cup the clear liquid reflection shined through my dark eyes as I shrugged nor should you my relationship with my family mainly my father and I ant on the best of terms these days so it is no surprise you hadn't heard about my unarming situation I chuckled at my bad joke before downing the rest of the liquid in my cup I poured myself another as Rage asked what happened between Fang and you I chuckled he dared sell the blueprint to my creation without informing me hell the bastard even tried swindle me out of my share of the money but honestly the biggest reason is cuz he has his head shoved so far up his ass I swear he thinks his own shit doesn't stink I took another sip before sying the old man has been sitting behind that desk for to long he has become more of a politician then a leviathan and if he keeps it up my brother Fives will forcefully take over where does Rex stand in all of this Rage swirled her cup before responding Rex has no stance he wants best for the family but and she took a slow drink from her cup before she looked up to me as she put her cup on the table saying honestly he has gotten bored of everything happening back at the mother ship all the other tribes have been nothing but a annoyance I chuckled he has gotten to much attention from the other tribes ladies right she closed her eyes and crossed her arms before nodding yes damn that bastard and his good looks and charm I chuckled well he had to land you so he had to make up your lack of social skills Rage side her eyebrows almost touching in the middle as Betty almost spit out her drink from laughter but I looked to Betty saying what you laughing at misses Betty your social skills are almost worst then hers your both lucky your husbands make up for it that's when the door opened and that's when I heard a old man voice yea that would be my fault sorry about that kid and walking into the room was the Dragon elder John in his full black armor that had bright green flames going across it on the back in his belt was a strange straight hilt and on his hip was a old but well took care of blaster that looked like a revolver just with a square barrel but other then these two weapons I seen no other hell even his gauntlets was only had the climbing hook and the normal energy shield and that was it the rest of it was medical supplies and on his right shoulder plate was his family mark wall on the other was the bright green cross of a leviathan medic and hanging around his hip was his helmet that was black with its screen a bright blue color and there was 3 bright green claw marks that want down the front of his helmet it reminded me a lot of Helge helmet just different colors the moment Elder John walked into the room his back straight and his hands behind his back his gray hair was pulled into a ponytail and his eyes swept over the room Betty amd Rage shot up and bowed saying father wall I just stood up and smiled at this old man saying hello elder John it has been sometime he chuckled and walked over to us he smiled at me responding greetings lad and it would seem it has you have grown nicely into that armor I shook my head no sir I still got much more growing to do I am just getting started he chuckled nodding I figured but and his smiled change slightly as he looked to his daughters who still bow towards him Rage raised her head and was about to speak but Elder John cut her off saying na none of that little lady you will not be taking the blame from your little sister nor do I want to hear your excuses so save them and as for you my lovely daughter Betty I seen her gulp before look up at her father saying yes father Elder John side you have disappointed me you got the makings of greatness girl but you need to learn to rain in that anger of yours and think before you not only attack a fellow leviathan company people but to disregard there rules and regulations and demand things from them but you have ashamed no one but your self and our family your lucky Hunter here still sticks to his values he shows our family with such respect even though you slapped him across his face and told him all his hard work has been for nothing hell here he is sharing his own liquor with you as he has a fucking conversation like a adult mmmm the fact a buy not even 18 acts more like a adult then my two fully grown daughters who have relationship and one even kids of her own well if this is how yall act then no wonder one of my granddaughters dated a and defended a trader Betty anger flared but she couldn't even get a word in cuz the moment Elder John seen Betty anger flare he waved his hand and in a powerful commanding voice he growled you will not talk back to me girl especially when your in the wrong the moment he said them words the temperature spiked as green sparks of fire sparked around the old man his black trench coat billowing behind him Betty anger quickly disappeared into a scared obedient expression Elder John lowered his hand and side all his anger disappearing the temperature going back to normal damn it girls I hate using my ora on my own lovely daughters but gods your to much like me stubborn and fiery to the end but you girls need to remember that fire may burn your enemies but there's a good chance you may burn your self in the process but enough of a old man rambling go back to your rooms and meditate on my words leave us yes father with that the two sisters backs strighted Rage finished her cup before walking out Betty bowed to me saying I am sorry lad this shouldn't have happened I shrugged I hold no ill will with you misses Betty but learn from this situation cuz if it happens again I can't promise I will be as nice she nodded thank you for the drinks with that she stood up and followed her sister out Elder John and I looked at each other till the door closed he side and walked to the couch that his daughter's was sitting on before he slumped down I followed his lead but I just sat down the moment I did I flicked my hand Betty and Rage cup floating off the table before a new cup floated from behind the elder and sat down in front of him before the remaining liquid in Betty cup was poured into it before the two empty cups shot into the rescaling can elder John waved his hand and his cup floated up into his hand we looked to each other before holding up are cups in a silent cheers with that we took a drink his eyes light up from the taste as he smacked his lips mmmm that's pretty good nice work kid I chuckled nodding thank you elder John but he waved his hand saying please with how much my family have inconvenienced you just call me John I nodded ok John thank you he smiled nodded smiling before we both silently took a few more swings before he said your grandfather and I us to do this a lot back in the days he always wanted a second pair of eyes on his work I could tell he enjoyed these little meetings as much as I did he took another swig before looking into my eyes smiling sadly you remind me of him a lot you both had those crazy serpentine unyielding prideful eyes I chuckled you hated those eyes didn't you he chuckled nodded there was a time where indeed I did but that was a very long time ago with that we both finished our cups and as I poured us another he asked so Hunter what do you want as repayment I swirled my cup thinking about it before sying normally I would say nothing and let us forget about it but and John spoke but my daughter brutally beat one of your captions and so this can't be simple sweeped into the rug I nodded correct but and I took a drink before continuing I still believe we can reach a simple enough solution it was John turn to swirl his cup like what he asked I smiled simple misses Betty not only pays the medical bill of the man she beat but she has to personally apologize to him John smiled lets see she pays for the damage and has to suffer the embarrassment of apologizing to someone she had seen as weaker and less then her I like it a good lesson but do you truly want nothing else I took a drink before shrugging well that and for you to swing by here every now and thin to check out my work and for us to just sit here and drink and talk so is that good enough for you old timer John broke out laughing as he leaned forward holding out his hand saying lad you got yourself a deal with that we shook hands.
