Work to do

[Sage Sudeki]

Spike would be driving a Lightning Country black four door Qi Engine Car. One of the many innovations coming out of Lightning Country, though he wasn't even in a Cabal protectorate anymore, he was about to reach the border of Bloodland... A land ruled over by both his cousin and Prota. He hadn't been to the actual territory before, he knew the Bloody Mansion when it resided near Hades underworld domain during the war... This would be interesting.

[Drake]

The guards would stop Spike at the gate only be greeted by Kuron!

"Spike! Long time no see my young friend! What brings you here? Your father hasn't sent sent us anything about your arrival. Is all well?"

[Sage Sudeki]

Spike would wave casually to Kuron.

"Yeah, Dad's still waiting for his premonition to come true. I'm here on business for the Thane Family actually. Is Rai available?"

[Drake]

If Kuron could roll his eyes he would've, but his body language said it all.

"Define busy."

He would say with sarcasm heavy I'm his voice.

"Yeah, he should be able to see you. I'll head over there to make him aware. Just follow the main street to the Heart of the territory. That's the Mansion's new home."

With that Kuron would melt into the ground. Presumably to tell Rai of his cousins arrival!

If Spike did as he was told he would arrive at the Mansion relatively quickly. The guards would welcome him inside and instruct him on where to find Rai's throne room.

[Sage Sudeki]

Spike wasn't one for looking around or wasting time when on the job. He'd follow instructions and go to the throne room as directed by the guards. He was uneasy being here, mostly because of it's affiliations. He had been fighting Prota soldiers and Barker experiments ever since he was a boy.

[Drake]

Before Spike could knock the doors would open and inside would be Rai over looking a table with a map on it. He would look up and smile waving at Spike.

"Ah! Cousin! It is good to see you alive. I knew that pesky little explosion wasn't enough to do you in for good!"

He chuckled.

"Come, sit. Talk. What's up, how have you been?"

He would say indicating to the chairs just past the table he was working at. He would go take a seat himself.

[Sage Sudeki]

Spike lowered his hand from an attempt at knocking and walking in. He returned the wave, but also wondered if it would be rude of him to activate his eyes to check for traps or ambushes. It's not that he didn't trust Rai, he didn't trust what Rai may have become. Their meeting at the event with the Project Judgement insurrection was odd to him, but he was busy at the time.

"I have been recovering and doing business for Lightning Country. My father interrupted his meditations to make sure I was alright, so rest assured."

He would wave off the comment about the giant explosion that leveled pretty much the whole territory. Spike wasn't in a good way after that. However, this journey was somewhat time sensitive.

"Actually some business has come up within the organization and I need to find them. They apparently were brought here from Lightning Tower by some Bloodland agents."

[Drake]

This got Rai to pause in his steps he would turn and raise an eyebrow. One of Leon's Mafia is here? I haven't been-"

Then something clicked.

"No way... what is the name of the one you're looking for?"

[Sage Sudeki]

"Originally Drake Normans. However, he has a Seikatsugan, and showed some skill with it's use when I found and him. I informed him he was a Sudeki and he took the name."

Spike would nod as he explained it pretty quickly.

[Drake]

Rai busted out laughing, even doubling over. After a few moments Rai would straighten back up and go sit on his throne. Wiping a tear from his eye he would chuckle again.

"That bastard father of yours."

He said shaking his head.

"Still damn good about holding all his cards close to his chest."

Rai would lean back and stare at the ceiling. This was beginning to feel like old times... and he liked it. He would return to looking at Spike.

"I take it that means you are, currently, unaware as to Drake's... heritage?

[Sage Sudeki]

Spike stared quietly as Rai laughed, apparently some sort of joke he didn't share in. But, now he wondered about what was going on in the back ground now. He may need to talk to his dad.

"I do not have the eyes that see fate, cousin."

Sage would fold his arms as he waited to be let in on the secret he was apparently left out of.

[Drake]

Rai leaned back smiling as he intertwined his fingers and crossed one leg over the other.

"Kuron, please send for my son. Inform him that his uncle is here to see him."

The was suble movement in the shadows to suggest Kuron was doing just that.

[Sage Sudeki]

So a few things registered at this point as Spike put two and three into seventeen trying to figure out logistics on what his brain was screaming at him right now. His eyes darting to the side at the motion in the shadows, however slight. His arms slowly unfolding as his fight or flight instinct wanted to kick in from the confusion in his mind.

"What?"

Was pretty much all he could get out as he realized Drake Sudeki was possibly Raikotsu Sudeki's bastard son, and that Leon knew that sending him to recruit the kid, AND THAT RAI APPARENTLY FUCKED!

[Drake]

"You see years ago, about 16 years if you want to be precise, I and my fellow apprentice were taken to meet all three Dragon Elders for the first time. Kyir asked question after question, barely leaving me room to speak. When she finally finished her questions, the floor was left to me, having had essentially all if my questions asked and answer I decided to lighten the mood with a joke... this rewarded me with them discovering my virginity that's when your father, my master, and the Storm Dragon dragging me off to that one and same whore house you found Drake in. They looked me in a room with Miss Norman's and- well, to spare you the messy details, I'll just say that, my seed was planted. And here we are. 16 years later, and my son is living in that very same whore house in your fathers territory. That bastard must've known all along and said nothing. I myself only just recently saw him with my sight. That's why I had him sent for."

[Sage Sudeki]

Spike stared at Rai, he really wished he had some sort of way to tell if he were telling the truth or not, though... That sounded very accurate. Finally Spike let it sit like that.

"Well, be that as it may... There is still business to attend and he did join a family."

Spike was processing, it was little more than a cover message saying Loading...
