Oh Ein. Poor, yet sweet Ein. He was but a gentle star in the night sky. Stars, oh how fragile they were in the grand scheme of things– so simple in all their splendor. Even after they die, they still give off their gentle light. But with all those whose initial flame dies out, why does it have to be his? He wishes it wasn’t this way; Kenshiro could have it the other way if he wished–but if fate wills it so, then…he guesses, so be it.
Kenshiro hoists him up a little more, leaning in closer as to listen to the American’s words carefully. He can fulfill his wish…just once. It would be the righteous thing to do, after all.
“Her name…was Yuria. She was a pleasant sight. She was always warm, and wonderful to be around,” Kenshiro drones, his tone almost objective. But despite it he smiles, a very soft smile. 
“She would’ve loved to meet you– and Asuka…”
--
      Ein still seemed to just smile. It was hard to tell what he was thinking, but he seemed to very faintly see that smile, in what little he could see.
      “ ... Yuria... ” He whispered out the name, repeating it. Oh, what a wonderful name. A perfect woman for Kenshiro, no doubt. “ ... yeah... bet she was real nice to you. Perfect lady for you. ” Was his response to the Hokuto successor, “ ... can feel it... no wonder you always looked so... ” A light cough, “ ... s-so... wistful. ”
      He was getting weaker. Things were getting dark... but he lightly held Ken’s hand now, trying his hardest to keep his eyes open. He needed... a little more time... even in death, Ein was a stubborn bastard.
      “ ... been right at your side, though. Can feel it. Just... just hard t’ notice, once in... in a while... ”
Tumblr media
      “ ... she’s what gives you strength, Ken-- everybody you’ve... you must’a met before meetin’ me.. Don’t... forget that, okay? Don’t... forget that... beggin’ you... o-or I’ll come back down and give you a slap across the face like you did with me! Hahh-- hahah... ah... ”

@rxdropes​ continued from here... we really do be making a lot of threads huh //lh

      Ein seemed to practically grin at him now-- there was something about Ken he could never really understand. Just-- this feeling about him was so much different compared to others. But... hell, didn’t bother him one bit.
      He wrapped his arms around Ken with his eyes sparkling, holding him to his chest.
Tumblr media
      “ ... Look, Mista’ Ken, ” the American softly began, “ Don’t know what you’re feeling, but... I’m here for you, alright? Can tell from the look in your eyes. ” Something about Ken’s woman, maybe. Although he never knew her, he could tell it had a toll on him. Ken had a woman, he knew it from his eyes. Maybe he could help him someday. Maybe...
      Suddenly, Ken’s response to him back then made sense.
Tumblr media
      “ ... You always get that look... Can tell something’s on your mind from your eyes. You can hide away, if you want, but I’ll be here for you. Give yourself a break from bein’ the big martial artist n’ just be Mista’ Kenshiro, alright? ”

      Ein could only smile at that. Asuka... he knew she’d be happy, with Ken’s help. He knew...
      “ ... Good, good... ” Ein murmured, “ ... deserves the world... hah, you know... when we first fought, it-- it was... I knew I couldn’t mess you up... ”
Tumblr media
      “ ... big guy, had this... feel to you, Mista’ Kenshiro... could tell. All that... martial arts stuff, I can’t go up against that... can only mess with small fry... ” Ein trailed off-- he was getting weaker and weaker, but he wanted to keep talking, anything to keep his eyes open for a little bit longer. Though... He knew he couldn’t have Asuka seeing him like this. Couldn’t scare his baby girl.
      “ ... but I always looked up to you. Completely selfless... hahah-- n’, Bat n’ Lin... they’re yours, huh? You even met... Shuu, too... good guy... ” He shakily lifted his pinky. Woman. “ ... you had... a woman, too... can tell... that look in your eye... don’t forget that woman... y’hear? ”
Tumblr media
      “ Can you... can you tell me about her?.. maybe I’ll meet her... t-tell her you said... ‘hello’, maybe... I always wanted to ask about her... ”

      Ein lightly kissed the knuckles of his glove again, before soon stretching his hand out, like he was preparing his hand a little...
Tumblr media
      “ Time to go for a couple-two-three, then make my way back t’a Asuka... ”
      He didn’t seem to have looked at his surroundings just yet...

There was a pink creature approaching, very confused by the man's wardrobe. Did they look familiar?

@four-4-dream-land

      Was he dreaming?
      No. He had to be-- what the hell?
      Ein squinted at this... strange, pink... ball with shoes and cutesy eyes-- this looked completely out of place, but... it was a weirdly welcome change. Squatting down and looking at the ball in turn, he blinked his eyes a few times... Was he going crazy?...
Tumblr media
      “ Uh... Hey! ”
      Why was he trying to talk to it... maybe he really did go nuts... but it looked like something Asuka would like... seemed huggable!

“The proud American doing guard work?” Mamiya laughs “Color me surprised.”  She hums in pretend thought “Well, we could always use some extra hands, and you have proven yourself useful so far.”
Tumblr media
She gives him a wink “I think we could find something for you to do if you stay.  There’s always work to be done.”  It seems he doesn’t really want to leave either.  His tone quickly shifts from their light teasing to a more serious question.
Can his daughter stay?
Tumblr media
“Of course she can.  It’d be no trouble.  She can even stay with me.” Maimiya says with a small nod.  She keeps her poisons locked up and hidden.  She’s positive the girl won’t get her hands on anything she’s not supposed to.
--
      “ You make it sound like I laze around all day! Gotta give me credit! ” Ein tilted his chin up a bit, crossing his arms-- yet that overly confident front suddenly crumbled the moment he got that wink. It left him blinking, stuttering a bit. He looked like an idiot, he wouldn’t lie, but-- shit, there was something about Mamiya he couldn’t really put his finger on.
      Something about it... Maybe it was her looks-- no, no, wasn’t just that, but she was real pretty... But-- she was strong. Brave. Ready to fight for what’s right...
      ... Couldn’t tell if she were interested at all, though, but... Maybe someday.
Tumblr media
      Kissing the knuckles of his glove, he grinned up to Mamiya,
Tumblr media
      “ Then consider me your personal guard for the village, Missus Mamiya! ”

1996?? Okay, that’s like several years too far from his original timeline. He would have grandchildren at this point of time. Probably dead by now, too.
Well, he figured as much that Ein would catch on to what he just said and shouted his name out of shock.
“Even here I’m pretty much well known, eh?” Well, couldn’t blame the other if the fact that there was supposed to be another instance of him in this timeline. But if he was present here, wouldn’t that cause a massive time paradox?
Hmm, this instance of him could’ve been dead though. Ein did say this was a post-nuclear apocalypse, after all.
Tumblr media
“Sounds like we’ve got a history nerd over here.” The resistance fighter joked. “How much do you know ‘bout me?”
--
      “ Auh, shut the hell up, old man--!! ” Ein lightly nudged him a bit, scoffing, yet that rather excitable grin of his was evident on his face. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holyshitholyshitholyshitholyshit this was THE B.J. MOTHERFUCKING BLAZKOWICZ! Big guy n’ all! Guy that went BAM! and punched Nazis in the fucking face!
Tumblr media
      “ Isn’t everyday you meet-- literally-- walking history! ”
      Usually, Ein would’a chalked it up as some look-alike. Some guy that just so happened to look like B.J. Blazkowicz, but no. HELL no! This was the real deal, and he felt it in his gut. Some indescribable thing. An American meeting a fellow American-- meeting a true goddamn hero!
Tumblr media
      “ Let’s see... Fought Nazis. Spear’a Destiny. Agent One, some classified missions that none’a us got t’a know... Is it true you dealt with some wildass occult stuff, too? ” Ein rambled on and on-- oho, he was a nerd indeed. His grin was like that of a little child’s, his eyes sparkling in pure delight... Seemed almost like Wyatt... Ein just won’t tell the guy that he knew all this shit from some videogame he played. What’s it called? Wolfenstein 3D? Fuck yeah...
      Soon, though, he quickly shook his head with a huff of a laugh, “Shit-- history later. How-- how the HELL did you... you know? Get here? ”

      Ein couldn’t help but grin at the little teasing. He knew as well as both of ‘em that she wasn’t the happiest with his departure. It was just... He couldn’t stay. Knew he couldn’t. He was a bounty, now-- had too many targets on his back. He had to fight, had to live and provide for his baby girl. But...
      It’d be so nice to settle down, too. Let Asuka play with other kids, let her relax... Better than being a bounty hunter’s daughter.
      Shoving his hands into his pockets, he laughed a tad, shrugging a little, “ Weeeell... ”
Tumblr media
      “ I’m no fancy martial artist like Mista’ Kenshiro, but I can sure as hell bring down a few’a those punks. I think I can do some guarding work around here for a biiiit longer, if you need it, Missus Mamiya. ” He spoke with a bit of pride, but paused,
Tumblr media
      “ You wouldn’t mind if my girl stayed here, would you? ”

Continued from here! @ultimatesadisticaction
Okay, B.J had better stop getting lost– This here “God Key”, or as it was later revealed, an older model of the Empyrean Key, probably got him to SEVERAL places where he shouldn’t be.
Tumblr media
“…Ya tellin’ me that as if I’ve not dealt with the Third fuckin’ Reich before.” B.J responded, with quite the genuine bafflement. Wait, what time period was this?
“I ‘un remember a global-scale nuclear war taking place ‘ere. Only knew that New York got it bad with the atom bombing.” Oh, this was getting increasingly confusing for this man.
“…Did I take one too many Wraith Berries? That’s what one of my old pals said to me.” B.J scratched the back of his head for a moment. “Eh, it don’t matter. I can feed some fuckheads some lead, bullets and whatnot.”
--
      What.
      Ein stared at him, blinking his eyes... Then smirked.
Tumblr media
      “ ... funny guy... ” He murmured to himself, lightly sniffing as he rubbed at his nose a tad, but peered down at B.J a tad, “ It’s-- it’s been a bit, big guy. It’s ‘96. Third Reich?-- ” He paused a little, though... Wait, wait-- hold on, he looked familiar. Something about him... Wait. Wait--!
      “ You’re-- from the goddamn history books, hold on! Big guy... same jawline, got the whole... look going on-- jacket n’ all... Are you... ” No fucking way. NO. FUCKING. WAY.
Tumblr media
      “ B.J Blazkowicz?! ”

      “ You know, like-- apocalypse. Bombs dropping... You born after the war? Don’t look like it... ” Ein spoke of it all so nonchalantly, a hand on his hip as he looked off at the horizon-- sand, sand... Dead cities. It was a usual sight for the bounty hunter, and he tried to not think much of it. Though, that was a bit hard... he always had to think about this stuff for Asuka. If it meant getting to the fabled land of green, with fields of grass, maybe old trees-- plants and water as far as the eye could see...
      Anything for Asuka.

Silence comes from the throne, a blonde brow raised highly. He could've sworn he knew this man...but, he is unsure. Superfluously, he leans closer to the other, squinting all the while.
"Do I...Know you?"
--
      A pause, as he slowly looked-- down at him. Was THIS the Holy Emperor that Shuu talked about?
      ... Sure, he was a martial artist sorta guy, judging by the snazzy outfit and all, but he was... Fucking tiny!
      “ Name’s Ein. ” The American grunted, puffing his cheeks out as he prodded at Souther’s forehead, right at that vital point, “ Didn’t know you were... huh. ” He tilted his head to the side a bit now, studying him, moving from side to side. Yeah, that throne HAD to be compensating for something. “ Guessing Shuu didn’t talk about me! Don’t mind. Think that’s for the best. Would’a pissed you off, heh. ” As he said that, he lightly kissed the knuckles of his glove,
Tumblr media
      “ Didn’t think the Holy Emperor was some shortie with a button on his head. Don’t care if you’re a martial artist-- but if you’re really trying to start some trouble for my buddy, then you’re gonna be meeting my fists! ”

Yikes! Don’t mess with this fella, Lin!

      ... Ein’s instantly faltered. This girl looked familiar... but who was she? He blinked a bit, dropping his hand. “ Well... only the bad guys that try t’ hurt my girl. ” Ein quickly muttered, hoping he didn’t scare her,
Tumblr media
      “ You aren’t any’a those big guys that mess with small fry ‘cause they think they’re all tough. I think you’d get along with her... ”

"That's an awfully colorful outfit you got there."
Jack is one to talk, isn't he?
--
@fabulastronaut
--
      Ein just squinted at Jack, saying nothing while he studied his outfit... ‘til he lifted his hand, pointing off at this rather funny fella’. Why’s he talkin’ when he had a colorful ‘fit himself? He looked like one of the poor villagers ‘round here that the Big Guy would fuck with. Albeit... different... Looked like he was from the fairytales he’d read to Asuka...
Tumblr media
      “ You’re one t’ talk. ” Ein said with a light snicker, though he meant it lightheartedly, “ Guess we’re both one for the more colorful sorta things, huh? ”
