Darian was about ready to jump on the group of people, ready to put an end to their ominous plan, until a mechanical hand burst out from the bricks on his side and grabbed his throat, throwing him to the ground. He was caught by surprise and barely landed on his feet, using his knives to stab into the ground to help soften the landing. He looked up to see a figure soaring straight down towards him, and he jumped out of the way. He gritted his teeth, and squinted, but when the dust settled, he couldn't believe his eyes.

The man stood up, holding an impressive and imposing height of almost seven feet tall. He wore a brown leather jacket, with black military jeans. Red-shaded sunglasses covered his eyes, a lit cigar clamped between his teeth. Stubble along his jawline and a goatee by his lips parted at a sinister, almost sarcastic smirk. The man had one earring, and slicked-back black hair. On his right was a cybernetic hand, with a burgandy coloring onto its chrome-plated knuckles. The man smiled. "Heya, kiddo," he said, a deceivingly charming voice. "It's been a while, hasn't it, Ripper of Vale?"

Darian's eyes widened. Only a very few knew of his former identity of the Ripper of Vale, who were his team, and the malevolent man known as Shade Pierce. Darian shivered as he remembered his checkered past with the man, and he realized that the man in front of him was Shade himself coming back to haunt him, to end him once and for all.
