“A man had been shot in the Groves. The bullet had pierced his chest and tore through his lung.”
“Not only had that created a burning sensation in his chest, it also left him gasping for air that he couldn’t breathe. The man felt helpless as the red hot metal incinerated his insides, wishing he could just pass out to make the pain stop.”
“But the pain was too severe for such a relief.”
“His would be murderer left him laying on the grass, coughing up blood for what must’ve felt like hours. Had it not been for a couple of hikers that stumbled upon his body, he would’ve perished right then and there.”
“When he left the hospital, he promised to use his second chance at life to get revenge against the one who wronged him. He didn’t want to allow the shooter to get away with what they did.”
“During his pursuit, he found a potential companion that was willing to help him achieve his goal. Not wanting to go it alone, he accepted his new friend’s invitation to assist him on his quest.”
“Upon doing so, he threw his new compatriot in danger countless times, eventually resulting in their untimely death.”
“He used his second chance at life to rob an innocent person of theirs. In his quest for vengeance, he became a worse person than the man he vowed to take down.”
“Much like a certain explorer is going to become a bigger threat than the candy man if he isn’t careful.”
“Drewitt, you and I are walking very similar paths in life. We both have suffered through immense pain, you with a bullet to the brain and me through a fire that nearly turned me to ash.”
“We both managed to survive what was supposed to kill us and vowed revenge against the ones that tried to have us murdered.”
“We even picked up a companion to assist us with our volitions, me with the boy and you with the dog. However, that is where our similarities end.”
“While Destructo Boy is willing to assist me in my personal vendetta, I’ve become his protector in a way. I’m making sure he has someone to shield him from the dangers of Arcadia so he doesn’t fall victim to what I have.”
“Meanwhile, you throw Colt into danger whenever the need arises. Despite caring for that mutt of yours, you allowed him to get shot, kicked, and nearly die for you on your quest to get revenge against O’Toole.”
“You’re using your second chance at life to rob your best friend of theirs. You’ve sunken to a low that not even Teddy would stoop to.”
“I’m not going to stand idly by and watch you use your second chance at life like this. I won’t allow Colt to be thrown to the wolves in your crusade for vengeance.”
“When we meet in that ring again, you’ll be given one last chance to fix your behavior…”
“…or be cast aside to the fire once more.”
