Chapter 159 Meeting The Parent

Chapter 159 Meeting The Parent

"So... the world is going to end?"

"But you have no idea when?"

"And the things that are coming are called nightmares?"

"And you want us to focus on fighting them?"

"Which is the reason why you're disbanding the guild... did we get all that right?" "Pretty much." Luna admitted. She was in the common area of the Nightfall base, staring back at the forty-four members of her guild whom she'd brought here on short notice. If she was honest, she was expecting for there to be a great deal more panic coming from them and was surprised when she didn't see any. There were some concerned faces and some shocked ones, but everyone seemed to be in almost total control of themselves. "I have to admit, I was expecting for you girls to be a bit more... frightened?" Luna said. Rose Ortega looked around at all of her fellow guild mates and she came to an accurate consensus.

"I think.. we're all just kind of shocked and it's not really hit us yet." She admitted. "I mean the reality that everything you've ever known is about to go up in smoke is a little..."

She didn't bother to finish her assessment but Luna didn't have any real difficulty understanding what she was getting at. Later on at some point, it was highly likely that the news they had received today was going to really hit them and they would probably be a bit more erratic than this. "But... the fact that you've built this one of a kind place for us to be once everything starts.. It's more than a little bit reassuring and it makes all of this a little bit less scary... just a little bit though."

"I feel the same."

"She's right."

"I think if I had to spend the apocalypse here, it wouldn't be too bad."

Luna showed a small smile as she felt just a tiny bit of her tension leave her shoulders. "I was honestly expecting you not to believe me."

"Well we probably wouldn't have if you didn't show us this crazy fortress you built and told us about everything going on with Malachi." one admitted. The members of Immortal Moon were all extremely close knit, therefore once they learned about their only male member's warning from the gods, they knew it was all real. He simply wasn't the type to lie about such a thing, not even for a cheap laugh. "Speaking of.. Where is your boyfriend, boss lady?" Nina asked. For some reason, Luna showed the girls a wry smile that none of them knew how to process. "He's... got his hands full right now. But, he likes this place so much that he's already moved in downstairs so you'll see him soon."

As Luna had said, Malachi packed up his apartment wishing five minutes and moved in here the other day. His apartment was starting to get really crowded with everyone that was staying there currently, so he couldn't wait to get out and have the extra space. And with the beautiful waterfall view that he saw from his window every morning... he did not regret his decision in the slightest. "Got his hands filled with what exactly? Are those things already starting to come into this world?"

"Ha! He wishes."

-

Malachi let out a deep sigh as he stepped out of his car in the parking lot of an auto body shop. Coming around the passenger side, he opened the door to his precious car and let one of his girlfriends out. Bianca happily stepped into view, and flashed him a knowing smile. "You look nervous. Having second thoughts, babe?"

"Never that." He said firmly. Bianca interlocked their hands together and started pulling him towards the garage. "I'll hold you to that! Make sure not to change your mind."

Irregardless of whether he wanted to or not, Bianca's grip on his hand was so tight that he never could have run away even if he had the chance. She led the two of them right into the open garage and paused before she filled her lungs with air. "DADDY, WE'RE HERE!!!"

Malachi was temporarily stunned by the volume of Bianca's voice that was like nothing he'd ever heard before. From the other side of the garage, a door opened up and a huge man strode through. At 6'6, Malachi wasn't used to people being his height anymore. Therefore when Bianca's father showed up, he was slightly taken aback. Malachi had seen pictures of this man before, but seeing him in person made him realize that he was much bigger than he thought. His large body was paired with explosive muscles and a more than healthy beer belly that was indicative of his second favorite pastime. Like Bianca, he had rich chocolate skin and light amber eyes that must have made him a big hit with the ladies. However, that was really where the similarities ended. As already mentioned, he was extremely big and buff, with two tattoo sleeves covering both of his arms. He had a shiny bald head and a thick black beard that appeared to be well groomed and maintained. His size fifteen timberland boots thudded off the floor with every step, making him seem like a real life iteration of Godzilla. But when he saw Bianca, he held out his large arms happily and allowed her to fly directly into them, and the two shared a sentimental greeting. "Who is this young adult up in my shop? You're growing up so fast I can barely recognize you!"

"I just came here three days ago, and I'm already 22!" Bianca laughed. "See what I mean? Growing too fast."

Malachi merely watched the two of them with a small smile on his face as he waited for his presence to be acknowledged. Just like Anna, Bianca's mother wasn't in her life, so her father was all she had. She didn't much like to talk about the rough times she ad growing up and no one ever asked her, but they all knew just how close she and her dad were. "Ah, Daddy I had someone I wanted to introduce you to!"

Bianca suddenly released her father and went right to Malachi's side and held his arm happily. "This is my boyfriend, Malachi!"

"It's nice to meet you-"

BANG!

Mal didn't even get to finish his greeting as Bianca's father Ali pulled out the biggest handgun that he had ever seen. In reality it was a desert eagle, but to him it looked like one of those super guns that was wielded by a vampire in an anime. "Daddy.. you can't scare him with that, he's bullet proof." Bianca reminded. 'Shit, I am? I damn near forgot..' Malachi thought in embarrassment. Ali didn't say a word as he walked past them and went to the wall on the other side of the room. Reaching up, he pulled a shotgun off the wall and pumped it once just for dramatic effect. "Bullet proof doesn't mean that you can just get a bigger gun and it'll work! Stop being extra and come say hi!" Bianca scolded. Ali unloaded the buckshot from his shotgun and started walking towards Malachi. Once the two of them were eye to eye, he held out his hand and handed him the bullets that he was going to try to put in him a mere moment ago. "I know who you are, Saint. I don't like your ass."

"Daddy!"

"Can I ask why?" Mal said calmly. Ali ignored his daughter for once and instead focused solely on the young man in front of him.

"You not the kind of brother I want to be with my daughter. You a no good hoe whose just going to break her heart sooner or later, and I'm going to have to fuck you up when you do. Give a damn bout no invincibility."

"Daddy, that's not true! Why are you acting like this!?" Bianca yelled. "Because I know cats like this, B. Based on everything you've already told me, I know exactly how this is going to end, and you're only going to get hurt as a result."

Bianca told her father almost everything. The day she took her aptitude test and got blessed, she was ranting and raving about this young man she met who she was really attracted to. So much so that she joined his guild without any other consideration and the singular goal of getting closer to him. Day in and day out, he listened as she told him about how she was adamantly trying to get his attention, and yet it never seemed to work. She even pulled multiple all nighters to craft him a suit of body armor and new weapons that he was sure could've sold for a few grand easily. But what really set his impression in stone was how she told him about the other girlfriends he had. From that point on, he was sure that this young man was only using his daughter and stringing her along, without having any real interest in her. And he couldn't let that slide. "Don't know whatchu came here for, but if you're looking for my approval you ain't finna get it. My baby deserves better than to be some backup hoe that you only go to when you need some shit done. If she ain't gonna be your number 1, then you need to leave her the fuck alone."

Bianca felt her heart beginning to beat wildly ut of control as she looked back and forth between her father and Malachi. Honestly, she was never expecting for things to turn out like this. She knew her father wasn't keen on him, but she thought that he was just being over protective and he would eventually get over it. Only now was she realizing that her father's issues went much deeper than she initially thought. She was desperately regretting her decision to have them meet each other today. Malachi on the other hand was slightly frozen and unsure of what to say. But because he wanted to clear up this misunderstanding as soon as possible, he finally opened his mouth to speak.
