With the death of Lord Zek and the rampage of Phanuel, we are in a real perquis situation. FOA has decided to promote all the subordinates of fallen villains by one level to compensate for the large loss. But with the sudden promotion, a conundrum has been created and that is Claymore. Claymore has four right hand men, while a villain can only have up to three. After waiting a few days I was deemed the odd man out and was sent to headquarters to wait assignment as a villain. Before I left, I said my farewells to Jet and hopefully we can meet again.

After a few days of waiting, I was taken by a staff member and driven to a remote location where I was dropped off and told to wait for my pick up. An hour later a car comes and a menacing looking man appears. He is wearing steel-toe boots, baggy pants, a black long-sleeved shirt and a mask. The mask covers his whole head, the face part was like an old hockey goalies mask but it doesn’t have any holes and the only part visible were his eyes.

“I’m Jason, I am your villain, now get into the car.”

After I get into the car, Jason begins to explain things to me as we drive off. “I am a cleaner. Cleaners are those that handle only blacklist jobs. With you working under me, you are now a cleaner. Once you are a full fledged villain, you will have the option to work as a normal villain, but you will be obligated to take blacklist jobs from time to time. You would also have to have two identities, one for villainy and one for blacklist jobs. I do exclusively blacklist jobs, so I only have one identity, hence the drop off. Also, the only people that know of my existence are the councilmen.”

“Why was I chosen?”

“We cleaners are only allowed to have one right hand man to work for us. I myself would prefer a person who just becomes a henchman, so that they don’t pick up the bad habits that most do as they ascend the ranks. You are only a few months removed from your initial training, which makes you a real gem in my eyes.”

With that we arrived at his base of operations, a cabin by the lake. I’ve seen this movie before, it sucks.
