MakenZero finishes his story. There was only silence. No one could speak a word. They soon left the place. Vivi, Rica, and Megan are in bed. Rica lies awake; she finally sits up. “You can’t sleep Rica? Can’t help it I guess. This is scary. I’m sorry you have to be involved,” Vivi played with her hair a little. Oh no it’s not that, it’s just, her and Maken. I feel so sorry for them.” Megan was still lying down but spoke, “I wonder if you should feel sorry for her. To die protecting the one you love. She literally loved Maken until the day she died. That's not bad. If I had been in her place, I would have done the same thing, without a second thought.” Rica was thinking to herself.
Vivi looked at Megan, “Maybe you're right. But her fate was sad. Between two men, one she killed and one who killed her. The two men she loved were two sides of the same coin, as if there was some karmic connection she couldn't escape. Her first love hadn't met and fought Maken on the dark alley street. And if Maken hadn't been the one to kill her first love. I think she was a very rational person. That's why, when she had to choose between her first love and her second, she couldn't even compare them.” “You’re taking her side pretty strongly,” Megan sat up. “That wasn’t my intention,” Vivi tried to ignore Megan’s comment. “Don’t tell me you’re admitting defeat to a dead woman!?” “I am not! It’s not about winning or losing!”
“Oh really? Then if you had been in her position, could you have died like she did?” “I couldn’t.” “I thought not.” “That's not what I meant! If I died, then Maken would blame himself and be in more pain. That's why no matter what happens; I will not die!” “You—then have forgotten all about her first love. You’re not in her situation at all.” “Oh,” Vivi was quiet all of a sudden. “But that's all right. I don't want to see Maken hurt any more either. And you're not a substitute for his dead fiancée,” Megan lays back down and turns saying one more thing, “Well, let's get some sleep if we talk any more about this Rica will break.” Rica caught between their arguing, was white and frozen. “Rica!?” “Huh.” “Good night,” Megan turned over as Vivi helped Rica snap out of it. “Megan wait!”
Outside of the building Swipe comes back and sits on the railing seeing Maken not move from where he told the story. Swipe swung his legs around and looked at him. He wanted to find a way to break Maken out of his silence. “Tell me more about the Wolves of the Mountains Maken.” Maken looked at him and puzzled, ‘Swipe almost everyone knows about them now. they’re one of the greatest group of hit-men ever existed. The only reason why they lost was the use of high-tech weapons. They only used swords. Even with guns around. They stuck to swords.” Swipe laughed, “Actually I really want to know about Madam Primm.” Maken shook his head.
“Madam Primm eh?” Maken went into deep thought. Well I don’t know so much about her life, but I do know she was incredibly strong. She was the leader of the Wolves of the Mountains second unit. There weren’t that many female fighters back then. She was the strongest female during that age. She wasn’t much older then I was. She was probably sixteen or seventeen.” Maken stopped thinking about it. (Flashback) MakenZero was kneeling on a roof looking behind him. Madam Primm looked up putting away her sword smiling as usual. “It seems you’ve gotten better. Too bad things had to end here for the day. We’ll meet again MakenZero.” (End of Flashback)
“It’s so sad though,” Maken began to talk again. “What is?” Swipe wondered. “Well a lot of the Wolves of the Mountains hardly made it to the new era unfortunately. Even Madam Primm had her limits. I heard she passed away. She was very beautiful and tomboy like. She was like a child, she was always smiling. Doesn’t that remind you of someone we know?” Maken looked at Swipe. Swipe knew who he was talking about, “Nyx.” “That’s right. Madam Primm lost her parents a long time ago. So she really had no child life. It’s beyond me how she ended up that way. She was always smiling and playing around. Even though she killed many people, it didn’t dampen her child like mood. She’s been seen playing with little kids and taking care of them. She was so laid back that she didn’t even carry her weapon. She said it got in the way of playing tag.”
Swipe was listening thoughtfully since he had always had a thing for girls all the time. “What she die of?” “Remember in the story. When we first met, I fought Madam Primm but she had stopped and started coughing out blood. She had tuberculosis. She was so stubborn that she wouldn’t seek help. And with medicine not being near by, it affected her drastically. She defeated every enemy that came in her way. And she was on the level I was basically. We’ve fought as much as Sage and I did. She’s the only female fighter that could stand up to the MakenZero of the past. I’ve met plenty of other female fighters. But that was after I had stopped killing. Madam Primm was one of the best. But she couldn’t defeat that disease so easily. I heard at times that she would go to her room and fall to her knees. She would open her mouth and let the blood just pour out; which made her clothes turn scarlet red. But a lot of it is rumors, I really don’t know if she’s dead. I mean I saw Sage. And I certainly thought he was dead but he wasn’t. I should have known better then to think him dead. There’s only a few who has stand up against me in my past and lived.”
