not this time

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 71300

Raymond Chen knew that Scott Childers would rise again. He knew this, but he had done some very shady deeds to procure bullets that should have disrupted Scott's phase resonance* in the multiverse. This should have at least delayed his return by a few weeks, if not months (or longer, holding onto hope).

But, an hour late, he knew. He sensed it on the wind, like wolves sense their prey. Scott had risen again. Raymond smiles, and pulls out bullets that glow a soft blue. He loads them into a custom 9mm and stands to his feet. "Not this time, Scott." He knew Scott would come back, so he had only put one of the special bullets into him. This time, Scott would not be completely focused, and by unloading a clip into him Raymond would finally have a world free of Scott... at least for a while.

When he shows up at the Funeral he sees all kinds of crazy crap happening, but this is no surprise. Every time Scott arises, chaos energy is dispersed in a wave and screws with reality. Passing Jerry Seinfeld strangling Bill Murray with piano wire, and a mysteriously shaking magical enclosure, he sees Scott trying to scurry off and aims his gun. "Goodbye, you miserable bastard," he says, and makes to squeeze the trigger.

*CRACK* is the sickening sound of a lead pipe cracking Raymond Chen's skull. He falls to the ground, and Reaibn falls to his knees, dropping the pipe. "Scott! Are you ok?!" asks Reaibn, prompting Scott to spin around and take in the scene.

"Sh*t!" exclaims Scott, seeing the gun in Raymond's hand. "I think I owe you big time. But... damn, Reaibn... did you kill him?"

Reaibn gingerly grabs the gun, and puts the safety on before disappearing it into one of the many folds of his robes. "Look, Scott, this isn't like normal. It was him or you, and.. well.. I decided it should be him. But you should probably get out of here."

Scott nods, sweating, and says "I will call you. Thanks a million. I feel like I just avoided something horrible." he then scuttles off, luckily unnoticed by the other funeral goers.

Reaibn shakes his head sadly, and kneels by Raymond's corpse. The wound in his head is bleeding profusely, and his pulse is faint. Reaibn sighs, and calls Tower Emergency Services, punching in his special access code. A few moments later, the body disappears in a flash of purple light. "I hope they can save you, Raymond." Turning around to leave, he is confronted by the looks of half the funeral goers.

"What happened to Ray?" asks Bill Murray. "Did he try to kill Scott again? Where is Scott anyway? Who atta...." and then he stops, seeing the lead pipe on the ground by Reaibn's feet. "Reaibn?!"

Before more people can ask him questions, Reaibn mutters "I'm sorry" and vanishes in a flash of emerald brilliance.
