"Alright! That was fun, don't you think so Akame? Akame?" Lubbock turned to see Akame looking at a vending machine and drooling.<br/><br/>"You have got to be kidding... You just ate 5 entire pizzas!!!" Lubbock facepalmed before reacquiring Cross Tail's threads. "So... Frank, was it? Thanks for the assist..." Lubbock thanked him. "Also... Where ARE we? The last thing I remember was being hit really hard and blacking out."<br/><br/>Akame walked over and simply said, "The metal box won't accept my money."<br/><br/>"No shit. this isn't the capital, Akame... heck, it's probably another world entirely. Thanks... uh... Do I call you Frank or the Punisher? Where did you say the hotel was at?"<br/>=In a skyscraper overlooking the city=<br/><br/>"You come here offering protection. I have all the protection I need. Why do you think I am the man I am today-" The massive man in an even bigger office chair said, stopped by all the men in the room being shot before they could shoot first.<br/><br/>"Looks like I am the only 'protection' in the vicinity... and don't bother calling the receptionist. she's... shall we say, lost her head?"<br/><br/>The kingpin stood up only for the elevator to open and several exact duplicates of the man with several high-powered firearms and weapons such as flame throwers to spew out of the doors. a chorus of the man's voices completing each other's sentences sounded out as more and more of him filed into the room.<br/><br/>"We think you'll find we are quite-"<br/>"Capable of taking out whomever-"<br/>"You assign us to as hitmen-"<br/>"Or assassins, and we are-"<br/>"Quite the very definition of-"<br/>"Expendable. So..."<br/>"Do we have a deal, Mr Kingpin, sir?"<br/>"After all... I didn't kill everyone in a Sixty-"<br/>"Five-story skyscraper to kill you."<br/>"Rather I look up to you and simply thought-"<br/>"What better way to take out heroes-"<br/>"That to play the hired goon?"<br/>"Interested? If not I can certainly-"<br/>"Leave and have oh... I don't know... My own business flourish?"<br/>"All in favor of Allegiance to the Kingpin of Crime!?"<br/><br/>A chorus of, "Hear hear!" sounded throughout the room, and the Kingpin stood up, and smirked. "Take out the people on this list. Then we'll talk." sliding a piece of paper over to his new duplicative arsenal.
