Chapter 6: Golden Coast

June 3rd, 1992

Luca woke up getting ready for his business. He hired people but paid them a minimum wage. He dealt and did illegal activities. A new person in town was rivaling his business. This man went by the name Mr. Iglesias the second. Though he didn’t have the same supplies the mob boss of Venice had he could cook up Blue so good The Venetian Boss was losing traffic.

So the only way he could get back in business was finding new people. Luca arrived at the area where the man wanted to meet his associate who looked Mexican American and he seemed sketchy. Luca says “Fool what kind of popo are you huh? D.E.A?” The man whose name happens to be Santiego Diablo. The man says “Call me Diablo” “So what product are you even looking for? And for what purpose.” Luca says “Well the product is some simple crack! The purpose is a party” Diablo says That seems like a really simple request go to someone else I can’t risk jail for you” Luca says

“You're low on bodyguards am I right?” Asks Narca

“What? how’d you know?” Luca replies “Well listen I’ll be a bodyguard for this product since you seem to make it well” says Diablo “You have a deal” says Luca. “Here's the pound you ordered. I also want to be paid in cash I specified over the phone.” said Luca. Diablo is handing over a bundle of cash.

Tyler is seen punching a huge peanut which he enlarged using his Shrinkx. His fist has cuts as the enlarged Peanut’s shell is really tough, stronger than steel possibly. I walk up to Tyler and ask “What he is doing”. He says “Training is what I am doing”

Then he takes a breath and says “Whoever made the quote “No pain no gain” has my respect, because it is so true” “Well to be honest I wanna try whatever that is” I point to a sign which says bowling alley.

Tyler asks ”You want to go bowling?” We were in Milan, Italy and there happened to be a bowling alley so we went. All six of us are going to bowl.

On Luca's deal he has another person who wants to be hired as a bodyguard. Luca realizes 2 bodyguards would be better than one but how strong is this guy he thinks. The man didn’t look strong at all. He looked weak.

Diablo was strong but this guy was short and weak. Diablo says “This guy ain’t the guy you looking for right that’s what your thinking”

Luca says “Hell yeah, this guy is way too weak” that's when a creature comes out the body of the weak guy. A lizard man which had Omni eye’s. “What the hell is that?” says Luca.

“This Creature here is a reptilian man who is pretty much indestructible but one side effect is he doesn’t listen well to humans. And he hides from humans using anything he can, including humans.” says Diablo. “That's creepy as crap but It’s kind of cool” says Luca. “What is it’s omni eye” says Luca

“Test it out,” Diablo says. The reptilian creature and Luca stand away from each other getting their fighting stances.

We were getting all the bowling balls to get ready to start going bowling. We ordered a huge Italian pizza to eat while we played. Tyler taught me the rules before the game he said “You need to roll the ball down to the pins and knock out all the pins. It was Tyler’s turn The first throw was a straight throw it knocked out 8 pins the next throw was a spare.

Luca starts his fight with The lizard man. Luca throws a punch the area where he would have hit disappeared, the lizard man transformed into something before an attack. He transformed into a human-like body which was very flexible and skinny. Any punch Luca threw he dodged it. The reptile used the human body with way too many joints. The human body looked absolutely creepy.

Luca realizes he probably can’t win in a physical fight so he thinks mentality. He says “You know you're strong you really should join me, I know i'm stronger so do the human thing and cave in” The reptile screeches. Luca makes a gun with his finger and pretends to shoot. After this the reptile goes into excruciating pain. That's when Luca grabs his lighter from jacket pocket and grabs his cigarettes. The lighter clicks he lights the cigarette. The lizard goes crazy for 2 minutes then its eyes turn red. It was completely under Luca’s control.

So far Tyler was winning in this bowling match the next up was the speed fiend himself Chris, the ball rolled really fast down the lane straight into the pines strike. Now it was Tommy’s turn. The first one went into the gutter and we all laughed at that. Kyle could not have come since he was hurt.

Tommy’s second throw was 6 pins. Next was Ren which

Got a spare. My turn I rolled it straight down Looking at the spiral that the ball was going at was perfect it would get me a strike. The ball shifted and rolled directly right next to the gutter it then hit the rail of the gutter as it seemed it would fall into the gutter it didn’t instead it rolled directly into the middle pin at a tremendous speed

It was a strike! Everyone was shocked.

Luca gets a call from his phone by an unknown number. The unknown man says “Luca you scumbag you let Ryker Sanchez live. First Corvina is dead now are you gonna try to defy my orders”. “Sorry man I didn’t mean to but next time Ryker will be killed in whatever way you want” says luca

Time went by fast, the game was over and after bowling we went to go eat the pizza we ordered while we sat around sitting and talking to each other we looked at Italy’s beautiful sky.

Gunshots in the distance of a man who stands tall and menacingly is there. You can’t see his face but he has a handgun in his right hand. There are people under him, some are dead, some alive, they look weak and skinny. The man mutters something under his breath. Then he grabs something out of a bottle and pops it in his mouth. Then he lowers his gun and with no mercy shoots.The man says “Die a soldier not a wimp” He pulls a cigarette out of his pocket, puts it in his mouth, lights it and then the man blows up. The cigarette was full of gunpowder.

Luca’s cell phone rings again “I took care of those henchmen” said the man on the other line. Luca says “Where are you right now?” The man answers “ I'm in Milan, those idiots with Ryker are here” Luca says “You're gonna execute them” He answers “ No! my bodyguards will” Luca says “Underestimating them is a bad move fool” The other man says “Your the fool Luca you can’t kill a single man you went for his friends not him” Luca says “Calm down bro it really isn’t that deep I’ll get him next time” “You won’t because my men will execute them killer style” replies the man

The next day there was a single person who had arrived. The man was unknown and his face was unseen. The man’s name was Carino Carlos.

He didn’t have an Infinity Eye but he was very trained. He had light speed on his feet and his strength was stealthily. He wanted me so I walked outside like a man with courage. I don’t know what it was but this man had a very punchable face or he just seemed annoying to me. The man grabbed blades. He had at least 6 in his hands 3 to each arm.

He attacked me with a slashing motion then he was so quick he seemingly teleported behind me. The knife slashes did not harm me weird enough, he looked even more fazed then I did. Manny had eaten the blades

and out of reflexes I punched Carino in the stomach.

Carino says “ You freaking addict! you still have your old moves” I say “Huh? You know me?” Carino says “Yeah we were partners in crime with another person but you just had to have everything your way”

“What?” I say.

Carino says “My friend we were in business but you and your pride messed up all of it and even worse you killed Corvina” Corvina that name sounds familiar I think to myself. “Whose this Corvina?” I ask him, “You seem to forget your associates quickly.” He pulls out a handgun and shoots 6 bullets into the alley behind us.

Back before the whole coma issue happened this is what happened. In the early days of his life Ryker had no parents, he was an orphan. He was sent to work in the orphanage as he grew so did the crime rate in his city of Massachusetts. He would happen to try to find friends in which he only found criminals until he met 2 people by the name Of Luca Stefano and Julius some people would call this fate as he started working for them as a businessman of their business. He would be the one to sell their products. He made friends there one was a man named Corvina and Carino they were cousins, blood was thicker than anything to them. Ryker, Corvina, and Carino became infamous in the business, they would be the bouncer’s bouncer.

One day Ryker realized something: these people were evil and didn’t contribute. Soon after this realization he had got a miracle message from his brother Tyler. The two would chat, after one chat Ryker finally realized that he needed to escape the foundation as quickly as possible. Ryker told them he would quit and then he went to a place called the Mockingbird mansion to hide from the feedback. This is where Corvina found him. The two engaged in a fist fight, they beat each other to a bloody pulp.

Then Ryker pulls out a gun and shoots a can of propane which explodes Corvina and Ryker gets sent through a glass window landing where the glass pieces. Though this isn’t the end for either character. Ryker survived as the character you know as the main character while Corvina survived but not in his body instead in another Ryker’s. Both survived which means Ryker is faced with an abyss of his own dark decisions. Is this an infinity eye or something much more powerful?

Carino attacks me as I dodge, he points his gun and shoots, Manny catches the bullets as I punch him square in the nose breaking it. Then I uppercut his jaw and then hit him in the head. I say “Well if you're from my past I must get rid of you. My past is My Past My future is all I care About.” Carino says “Corvina is That You?” Gunshots are heard in the distance as I walk away from the scene

I have a single thought in my brain: am I Ryker or Corvina.

That question was dumb I'm clearly the mind of Ryker but if Corvina’s fused with me his soul is also here

two souls, one body. This was something paranormal.

The man on the phone was called by Luca who was watching from afar. Luca says “Ryker demolished Carino!” “Are you kidding me?!” The man screams “Holy crap!” The man also says.

Luca says “Ryker has also learned his true identity” “What?” The man questions. “Yes it’s true” says Luca “Well what will he do with that info” says the man “ vengeance and blood” says Luca

The man says “He’s a psychopath, he should be our top priority kill Ryker Sanchez at all cost applicable” “Yes sir” says luca

I walk home from the deadly duel as everyone from the speed club see’s me walk down the alley, as I appear at the front door. I walked to the shower. I washed off the blood in a real bath.

Luca was talking to his bodyguards “The reptile man named Blaze and Diablo the next best henchmen we had.” Luca strategizes a plan with his associates. The Escape. The battle plan wasn't too difficult to understand: Kill Ryker, run and pin the death on an associate of the speed club. The main people he was thinking about were either Kyle or Tyler. “Or maybe this man here?” says Luca as he points to Tommy.

“Why him?” says Blaze “Well these guys known each other for a while but this guys happens to be a newbie an easy excuse he happen to be on our time from the start, it’s a lie we will use” says Luca
