A Sin Better Off Forgotten; Death of "Stindy"
Bret 'Serter', Guy 'Stefano, Mike 'Chubz1', 'X' and 'Joanofark' were out for a stroll one day when they all decided to see what was going on Tir. None had been there in quite sometime, so they figured it was time to go see what changes were made and tests their skills by getting past the guards unnoticed. They made their way to the ICC in Avalon and prepared to enter the Whompa leading to the City of Clan, Tir.
"Alright, we all split up and meet here. I had a friend map Tir out for us. He said the guards never patrol this area. Once you have made your routes, come here.", said 'Serter'.
'Stefano' made a slight gesture to 'X' and then to 'Chubz1' and 'Joan'. They both shook their heads in agreement. They had something planned.
"Serter...while we're here, why don't we see if Lehx is in town?"
"Not a bad idea....maybe even see if we can find a 'Knights' member and get some revenge."
They entered Tir, all running in differents directions and taking positions, perched high atop buildings, lost by the local guards. They moved from building to building with swift and surgical precision, knowing each move, every step, every breath.
Suddenly they all recieved a message from a mangled and disturbing voice.
"Go......meeting area......there.....find......S....."
Silence had befallen the group's comms. For what seemed like an eternity. They heard nothing, not the sounds of the conversations of the Clanners below, not the chirping of the peaceful Rubi-Kan life, not the gun shots in the distance at the arena. They all knew what this ment and rushed to the meeting area.
"Please tell me I'm not the only that heard that.", said Mike.
"No...I think we all recieved it."
'X' looked over his shoulder and heard rustling inside of one of the apartments. The door opened and it revealed 'Stindy', one who the "Kenleys" believed was responsible for Malcom "Shadowgrider" Kenley's death. The "Kenleys" looked at one another and nodded. 'Serter' and 'Stefano' grabbed ahold of 'Stindy' whilst 'X', 'CHubz1' and Joan searched her apartment for anyone.
Joan came out hastly and reported, "Nothing in here. Seems she planned on leaving."
"Alright....we're taking her Borealis. Everyone get there within the next five minutes. Myself and 'Stefano' will make sure she arrives safely."
'Serter' let off a slight grin and propped her in his yalm and set it on auto-pilot. Destination: Azure Lake.
Everyone was armed and ready for any interference when 'Serter' and 'Stefano' arrived, along with 'Stindy'.
Stindy cried out in vain, "Why are you doing this?!"
"Because you are why Malcom is dead..." said Joan.
'Stefano' said,"Kenleys will always avenge their family's murderer. We know it was you who set him up. We know it was you who wanted him dead. And we know it was you who sent 'Timebombz' in to retrieve Malcom's dagger. Well sorry to break the news to you, but he is now dead, along with his accomplices." Stefano flashed the blade, both of the suns glaring off creating an eternal beam of light into space.
"We'll lay it down sweet and simple for that brain of yours. Others have feelings. Your actions towards one loved by others will result in conflicts. In the end it seems the good-guys always get justice. We're making sure that stays true.", preached Serter.
Joan pulled out 4 purple bullets, and loaded them into her gun.
'X' and 'Chubz1' escorted 'Stindy' to the shore of Azure Lake and forced her to face towards the two suns, glaring into her eyes, blinding her of everything around her.
Joan demanded,"Hold out your arms. Don't move, don't flinch. Your giving your life, just as Malcom gave his."
Joan took aim, holding steady and waiting for just the right moment.

The silence was broken by the sounding of 4 bullets, one after another being fired into 'Stindys' body. The Soul-Bind quickly spread through her body like her normal blood flow, devouring her soul as it moved onward.
'Stindy' jarred, then looked down to see her reflection in the water, to see what fate had given her, but she did not see what she expected. As she looked down, for a brief moment she forgot about the pain she was enduring, the life of hers that was ending, for she saw what nobody else would see for the rest of time. She seen a Shadow. The presence of something empty, taken from humanity too young. She saw the man she killed. Malcom "Shadowgrider" Kenley. He looked directly into her eyes, as if he was her own reflection. With a slight smirk on his face, he waved his hand across the water, making it skim. 'Stindy' tried to speak, but could utter no words. Malcom looked 'Stindy' with lit eyes, and within a moments notice, she slowly dropped as if paralyzed by his gaze, falling forward, into the arms of the Shadow. Falling to her death. The plague had ended. Justice was served. This would be one of the last murder's the Kenleys would ever commit. 'Stefano' tied a short weight to Malcom's dagger and handed it to Joan. She took one last look at it and threw it into Azure Lake. It sank quickly to the bottom, now lost forever in the hands of time.
Malcom was alive now, more than ever.
