Kyubey had been working his organization relentlessly. There was a new virus that hit America some weeks back. No scientists or doctors in the field could determine where it came from, or how to cure it. The virus had hit neighborhoods in the south at first, the Government had suspected that it was a possible virus undetected from South America, but they had no leads or proof of anything. No one had any clue about the disease.

Kyubey ran the Incubator Hospital in the heart of Brooklyn. The hospital had hundreds of public staff members caring for the public but in the upper levels of the hospital, dozens of America's finest minds worked endlessly discovering how things worked. Kyubey personally headed the hospital's disease control center. The doctors and scientists consisted of Inertia leading the project. Her brain was perhaps one of the best in the country, if not the world. She had her assistants Enoch_Thompson and FuGetAboutIt helping her constantly. Doctor Spiels and Doctor DiAnno had also been looking into prior records of viruses that had similarities in hopes of finding something valuable.

They had spent weeks on trying to find anything valuable regarding the new virus.. But nothing ever came up. It was a dark night in Brooklyn when a messenger arrived at the front desk. He urgently requested Kyubey and his medical team to come down from their lab and meet with him. A staff member alerted Kyubey and the team, and he went down to see what the big deal was.

"Yes? Hello! What seems to be the big problem? My team and I are in the middle of an important investigation, I really hope this is important enough to make use of our fragile time" He snapped at the messenger. The man quickly handed him a note from the upper echelon of Staten Island. It was from Rorschach and Kyubey began to read the note.

Good evening Kyubey,

I am sorry to be bothering you and your team at such a late hour but there seems to be a problem here in Rainbow Island. Jeddy has had an odd type of sickness for the last couple of days. He has been vomiting up blood, he can't walk anymore without someone helping him and he isn't strong enough to do anything anymore.

I have heard you and your team have been investigating something similar at your hospital in Brooklyn. We would be most appreciative if you and your team could make it out to Rainbow Island and try to help Jeddy? We're in desperate need of some help looking after Jeddy. We don't know the first thing on how to take care of someone with an unknown illness.

Kind Regards,

Rorschach

 Kyubey sighed. It was something he needed desperately. An alive sample of the unknown virus.. The subject however was one of his best friends, Jeddy. He told the messenger to make his way back to Staten and to alert the others that their team would be coming.

"Inertia, please alert all of our staff on the sixth floor that is apart of the research team to be ready to travel. We're going on a road trip to Staten Island, New York. We are going to be examining and hopefully helping Jeddy recover.. It is believed that he is infected with the virus"

The three dozen of them, scientists and doctors a like filled into multiple vehicles and they began a late night drive to Staten Island. After a couple of hours on the road they arrived at the Rainbow Estate. The personal mansion and estate of Chairman Jeddy, leader of Staten Island.

They had brought in equipment to quarantine Jeddy and to take blood and saliva samples of anything who had been in contact with him. The samples they had hoped could bring them a little closer to understanding how to solve it. Kyubey had put Nurse Bee and Doctor Sable_Tights to keep a close eye on Jeddy. They had been monitoring everything he did every moment of the day.

Unfortunately for the team, they hadn't been a single inch closer to discovering anything they didn't already know. They had confirmed the symptoms for the virus which would now be called the Ebola Virus. Jeddy had been getting worse and worse every night since the medical team had arrived to help. There was nothing they could do for him other then try to ease the pain with special pain killing medication. He often spit up bloody vomit during the day and often couldn't sleep. It was on October 10th that one of our teams watching Jeddy had reported that his heart had stopped beating.

Kyubey and the team did all they could to try to keep Jeddy alive, but it was far to late into the stages of the virus for any type of recovery to be made. Jeddy had passed away at his estate in Staten in the company of Rorschach, MementoMori and the members of the Incubator medical and science teams. There wasn't much to be said in regards to it.. Kyubey quickly alerted Godmother Amethyst of Brooklyn, Godfather Cantillon of the Bronx, Godfather OrangeJuice- of Manhattan and Godfather JohnnyNoName of Queens to inform them of the passing of Rainbow Islands Godfather, Jeddy.

He immediately setup the funeral for the man that was Godfather Jeddy. It was quickly planned for October 12th. They had Scalscia Funeral Home, one owned by an old retired mobster who had once worked in our line of work. They had alerted all members of the mafia across the nation about the funeral.

Kyubey and his team had already been there. They had all been dressed in black in honor of Jeddy. Normally Jeddy was all for colors, even naming his own borough of the city Rainbow Island, but on this most sad occasion, the only color that Kyubey could see was black. As a couple of minutes went by, the Godfathers of New York had arrived with dozens of their Made Men. Shortly afterwards the Chicago men, led by the leader of the Illuminati Mako himself had arrived to the funeral. Next up arriving were the members of Los Angeles and Las Vegas with Taegan, CristianoRonaldo and Chekov at the front. Detroit had arrived before the ceremony began.

In the audience stood over three hundred people in this thing of ours. It was a rough loss for the city of New York and the entire country. Days earlier, Don Jono from The Loop had been killed in a shoot out with one of the infamous Durden members. Chicago and New York were both taking in such massive losses in such a short period of time. As everyone began to speak about the life of Jeddy privately, Kyubey had taken the microphone and began to speak.

"Good evening everyone. 2 days ago marked the death of one of the strongest men in the nation to an unknown illness. It was unexpected and honestly no one could have known this would happen. The Godfathers of New York have spoken about the fifth position of Godfather within the city. It is a position that was being held by Godfather Jeddy for a very long time. It isn't an easy role to fill by anyone. I have been spoken to by all four Godfathers and even the underboss of Staten, Rorschach, regarding me possibly moving my organization to Staten Island and assuming the role of Godfather. It is not something I really cared for. It is something however I will do. This isn't about me, this is about the future and prosperity of Staten Island as a whole."

He didn't look very happy and it was evident he wasn't. Godfather was a prestigious title that only so many people could ever hope to attain and he had been given the nod to go for it.. He should have been happy, but the circumstances regarding his ascension have been brutal.

"After many conversations with many people that are important to me, I have decided with the powers that be that I will be assuming the role of Godfather in Staten Island to replace the now deceased Godfather. It makes me feel terrible that this great man, one who has been extremely close to me and my bloodline for a long time, is now dead and I am here taking his position. I however know one hundred percent that this is what Jeddy would have wanted."

He stood quiet afterwards. It wasn't a great feeling in the room. He, and many others, would never forget the lovable idiot that was Jeddy. He quietly mumbled a last word to Jeddy before they had him lowered into the ground. "Rest in peace my friend. We will miss you forever. Stay colorful in the afterlife" Were Kyubey's last words to Jeddy before the dirt had begun to go over top the coffin.

Morgoth wandered around, his head full of happy memories of Jeddy. The many useless yet funny conversations they had still fresh in his mind.

''Congratulations, Godfather Kyubey. May Rainbow Island forever stay fabulous.''

Though I wish it could be under better circumstances and we do still mourn the loss of Jeddy I am still extremely proud of you and happy for you as you take on the roll of Godfather. Our bloodlines new each other in the past but I think it was this generation that made us more than acquaintances so a very hearty congrats I know you will do a great job. 

MidpoinT wanders up to Kyubey and listens to what he has to say he flicks his cigarette and shakes Kyubey's hand.

"While these are sad circumstances with Godfather Jeddy, may he rest in peace. I cannot think of anyone more worthy of stepping up in his place. I wish I could of came with you and trust me the decision was hard, but all in all I know you will be fine with out me and we will always have Brooklyn. Haha. I just want to wish you and the rest of the Incubators good luck and say how proud I am to have been with you all on this journey even though it seemed so short since I was away on business for a while. Well good bye my friend make sure to keep in touch."

Lowering the brim of his fydora Mid reaches in his pocket and pulls another cigarette out lights it and gets back in his car to head on to a new business venture of his own.

Tyrant approaches Don Godfather Kyubey and extends his hand. Kyubey looking awkwardly at Tyrant wondering why Tyrant had not removed his glove before shaking the hand of the new Godfather. However, knowing Kyubey's line of work and seeing the horrible fate of Godfather Jeddy at the hands of the terrible Ebola virus, Tyrant figured it would not only be rather safe than sorry but appropriate to keep the glove on.

Even under these most unfortunate of circumstances, I have to say congratulations on your recent advancement. It has been a pleasure working along side you here in Brooklyn and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Congratz mate

May Jeddy see, from heaven, the wonderful things you will do for Staten, Godfather Kyubey. Let's keep the Island awesome.

Gl with new endeavors. 

Sitting in a grand looking bespoken leather chair at his highly polished mahogany desk in the study of the Bootlegger's compound, Rorschach placed his fountain pen on the desk beside his leather-bound journal, stretched back, shaking the numbness out of his hand and began re-reading what he had written about the previous few days:

Oct. 9 ~
Jeddy appears to have contracted some sort of virus, except it's not a generic flu, like I've seen before. It appears to be something much worse, foreign even, which I dont understand. The only person to go on holiday was Toyfriend. In any case, we have sent word to Kyubey and the rest of the contagious diseases section of the Incubator's facility in Brooklyn. Hopefully they will be better equipped to cure our beloved Jeddy.
 

Oct. 10 ~
As I think back over the day, I cant help but feel a pang of inexplicable injustice; perhaps a feeling of helplessness, even. Even though I still can't believe it, Jeddy passed away earlier this afternoon, surrounded by his friends and family.

There was nothing more we could do for him; it was confirmed by the Incubators this morning, that what Jeddy had, was a rare form of Ebola, and the rest of us were lucky not to have contracted the extremely contagious disease. .

It's a sad loss for the district of Staten Island and one that will forever taint the rainbows here. However, just as the colours of a rainbow must fade out to make way for an equally vibrant colour, Jeddy's incredible run had to end to allow Kyubey the opportunity he was destined to undertake.

I can only imagine his plans, however, one thing is for certain - I'm excited to see where this new era takes us and hope that Jeddy, wherever he may be, knows that his fabulous, colourful leadership has ensconced the entire district of Staten Rainbow Island with friendship, loyalty and honour, and that it was truly my honour to work with a man of his stature.

Oct. 12 ~

Today the keys of the Rainbow Corporation building were officially given to Kyubey. Only time will tell how this arrangement will develop. I'm optimistic, however I'm still not able to settle the rabbit/cat debate which rages on in my mind... would Mary-Therese prefer a rabbit or a cat as her first communion present?

As he reclined in his chair for a moment, taking a sip from the potent liquid in a glass on the table, Rorschach screwed up his face slightly, feeling the alcoholic fluid warm his throat pleasantly. Picking up the elegant journal and walking towards the door, he closed and locked it before turning to wall safe hidden behind a grand painting of a large bear upon hill with a rainbow setting in the background. "Strange image" the occasional visitor would comment, but the image always instilled a fatherly comfort in Rorschach. Somehow the painting just made him feel at ease.

Upon opening out the hinged canvass frame, Rorschach swivelled the safe dial several times, entering the combination before he placed his most valued possesion in the empty safe, feeling a twinge of inexplicable nostalgic emotion as he closed the door and entrusted his inner-most secrets to the enshrined security of his bear safe.

Walking down to the main entrance of the compound, Rorschach catches the attention of a sombre young button man and quietly instructs the young man of an urgent task:

"Get a box of cigars and a case of the best whisky you can find then send it to Kyubey and the Incubators with a simple message - Congratulations Godfather Kyubey."

Everything was running smoothly at the gathering after the funeral and people were once again smiling. The newly crowned Godfather Kyubey was getting blisters on his hands with the amount of people shaking them. DeanAmbrose was staring at Kyubey for quite a while. Their fathers and grandfathers fought beside each other on a number of occasions so he thought it only right to go up and give him a sign of respect.

"Good day there, Mr. Ambrose. Glad to see you could make it, and might I say you look g..."

"I know, I know. I look great. Congratulations my friend, I am sure the late Godfather Jeddy would have loved nothing more than his long time friend to take over his throne in Staten Island. Staten finally has some colour brushed through it again."

Dean saw that Kyubey's hands were red raw so he decided he would give him an old fashioned pat in the back while stealing the glass of wine in his hands and wondered around for the slightest hint of Seth Rollins.

Congrats Godfather

AK had been moving around the cities, but when he had heard that Jeddy passed away, he made his way to New York. He wanted to go visit the funeral to say his final words.

The next day, AK heard that his good friend, Kyubey, had taken over the district that Jeddy had ruled. Kyubey had taken the roll of Godfather there. AK was happy for his friend and wanted to congratulate him on the promotion. He had to make his way through the crowd to get to the front and see his friend.

"Congrats on the promotion! You've worked hard for this, and look where you are now! Sad the things that happened that brought forward the opportunity for it, but everything happens for a reason! You'll do great! Congrats again!"

AK made his way back through the crowd and disappeared around the corner.

Congrats Kyubey - you have big shoes to fill but I feel certain you will handle the job with aplomb! 

Trixie walks away after depositing one yellow rose on the doorstep of the new Godfather's Fort.  It is a start toward colorfulness again here in Staten Island.

Already Gave my personal Congrats but for a man as awesome as you, you need a public congrats :)

Congratulations sir 

Being a little late in coming Amethyst first offered her apologies in doing so due to being under the weather a bit of late. 

Kyubey I am proud of you and wont pretend that Brooklyn took a dent in you leaving, it did. However with the situation that was faced I agreed it was the best option for SI. You're one hell of a worker and enjoyed every moment of having you with us. And I know you're still with us as ever. We love you, I love you. 

Congrats on becoming Godfather, but do note you will continue to be my cat'thing. You can not escape that.. just as Faceman never escaped the minion thing (you didn't that either!).

Love you! x

Congratulations on becoming Godfather!  You deserved it!
