*holds
a few cards in front of his face, sitting across a table from
Orakio* So... Ralph I. El was assassinated?*back at Control headquarters*
*holds
a few cards in front of his face, sitting across a table from
Orakio* So... Ralph I. El was assassinated?
*also
holding a few cards* Yes... it would appear that Golgo 13 has
returned.
*sets a
card face down* How exactly do you know Golgo 13?
Well,
it is a rather long story. Let's just say that he was one of the
two figures that influenced me to fight crime.
But he
doesn't fight crime. He kills people. *plays another card* Summon
Snipe Hunter.
*flips
a card over* Solemn Judgment. Well, it was two key meetings
during my younger days before coming here. I was looking for an
answer to my empty life. I was walking over a bridge when a saw a
man perched on the railings with a rifle. He was aiming it at the
water, or at least I thought.
What
was he doing?
He told
me he was fishing. I asked who he was and all he said was 13.
After he said his name, I looked over the railing at a passing
boat. He fired at the boat and then got up off the railing.
An
assassination attempt?
I was
curious about his actions. The only thing he told me was that he
saved the world.
Did he
leave then?
I asked
him if it ever bothers him to kill. He said that sometimes you
have to sacrifice a part of yourself in order to become somebody.
He left me there.
He was
the one that influenced you to join control?
Not
alone. Later that day, I ran into Maxwell Smart, a former Control
Agent himself.
That
name doesn't ring a bell.
Well,
he asked what I was doing, and I told him that I just saw a man
kill another man. I told him that I don't want killing to happen
anymore, that I want a world where everybody can live peacefully.
Then
what did he say?
He gave
me the card to Control and told me that you have to sometimes
sacrifice somebody in order to gain true freedom. He said that if
I am really interested in protecting the world that I should sign
up with Control. He then left with his wife and I've never seem
him again.
That
was a long time ago.
Yeah...
I had so little power then... but now with the Great Seal in
place, I have even less. I am...
Human?
...
yeah.
That
isn't bad.
I know,
but everytime evil reared its ugly head, my powers and the powers
of everybody else would save the day. Now I cannot fly, I cannot
use magic, I cannot power up. I realized during the whole Golgo
13 incident that I am no different now than Ralph I. El. A single
bullet could kill me, and that scares me.
Orakio
is scared?
It used
to be that massive blasts of fire could not even scratch me. Now
I get hurt when I bump my toe.
Don't
worry about it. Just wear your armor if you get too scared.
I can't
chief.
Why's
that?
Because
I cannot move in my armor. It's too heavy.
Hmmmm...
that is a lot different.
I don't
if I can get used to this. Any information on the Great Seal?
None at
this time.
Well, I
guess Vegeta and I will just have to do our jobs the hard way.
*banging is heard from the other side of the wall*
*hitting
head on wall* Stupid... great... seal... Can't... fly... or...
power... up... Hate... O... ja... ma...
At
least you are taking it better than him.
