Chapter 373 - Target Acquired

When Orion stepped out of the bathroom and walked out into the open, he saw Cross, Sarah, and Jesse. Cross looked at Orion and noticed that his hair color was back to its original state. "What brings you all here to my dojo?" Cross cleared his through sticking a strip of Wrigley's gum in his mouth. "I am going to look for my brother." "Let me guess you want me to join you on your little scavenger hunt for some piece of shit almost killed you a couple of weeks ago."

Orion was tired of going with Cross as if he was a fucking dog who would follow any whenever they clapped their hands. "What's your fucking problem?" said Cross. "My problem?" "I don't have a fucking problem." Cross already sensed a strange vibe coming off of Orion ever since he returned from Tibet. Orion turned his back on Cross with a serious expression on his face clutching his hands into fists. "When I was in Tibet I found a mystical object." "When I touched this object it exploded in my face."

"All the energy was sucked inside my body." "After a couple of days, I noticed that I started to act more cunning and rowdy." "The next thing I know was that I pillaged an entire village killing men women children and old women." "My hair color also changed." "When I arrived back in the United States I thought about ridding my body of this accidental obtainment of power, but I began to realize something." "In power comes great destruction." "That is something my master never understood."

Orion turned back around channeling aura around his hand. The blue energy formed into a beam which he shot at Cross. Cross reacted fast slicing the beam in half. Orion front flipped into the air kicking Cross in the face. Sarah and Jesse ran into the bedroom to look for Lucia who was not around. Sarah looked at the bed finding a note. It was Orion's handwriting. Lucia and I went to dinner. We will be back at nine-thirty or ten depending on how large the meal we will order.

Sarah began to realize something. She ran out of the room. "Cross that's not Orion!" It was The Ronin. Cross got sidetracked and punched through Orion's dojo coughing up blood. The Ronin cracked his neck focussing his eyes on Sarah and Jesse. "You two are not my targets but I will kill you just for fun." The Ronin pulled out three Kunai throwing them at both Sarah and Jesse. Jesse caught the Kunai with one hand throwing them on the ground.

The Ronin pulled out an exploding Kunai jumping back throwing it in the ceiling which collapsed. Cross got off the ground wiping the blood away from his face. His head was spinning around. He felt extremely dizzy." It looks like Grey was right." You aren't the type to be taken lightly."

"You will be a problem." The Ronin channeled aura around his body making his muscles large. His feet sank into the ground. He was pumped up. Cross fired five metallic spikes at The Ronin who dodged the five metallic spikes with ease. The Ronin kneeled Cross in the chest then kicked him into the air.

The Ronin threw multiple Kunai at Cross who dodged the Kunai.

Grey's Hidden Post...

Grey told The Fisherman to meet him a dark cave that he took over. The Dark cave uses to be home to an old man and his daughter which he killed. Grey had a bottle of wine he had drinking for at least two minutes he finished. He tossed the glass bottle of wine on the ground before burping. He felt a gust of wind enters the cave. It was The Fisherman's head chief of staff, Elliot. Grey was expecting to see the Fisherman. "What the fuck are you doing here Elliot?" "My boss couldn't make it so he sent me instead." He told me everything.

"Why are you trying to kill Iracus?" You know he is stronger than you in so many different ways. "Get the fuck out of here before I break your little neck." Elliot circled wind around his hand laughing. "This is the reason that you are one of the most hated Councilmen ever." Grey ignored Elliot walking out of the dark cave. "The Fisherman is too much bitch to face me isn't he?" Elliot snickered. "I specifically told him to meet me here and instead I see the likes of you!" "The likes of me?"

"Do you know who you are talking to?" "Yes." "A fucking weakling." "Chief of staff?" "There is no rank higher than Grand Councilman." You just don't know it because you are stuck with your current position." "The Fisherman may act as a peaceful soul but he is not." "He is just as cunning and evil as the rest of us." Elliot now had a serious look on his face.

When Grey saw Elliot looking at him like that he sprinted towards him trying to grab him by the neck. Elliot caught his hand making wind circulate around the entire cave which busted into pieces. Elliot's grip was very tight. Grey's wrist was crushed like a toothpick. Grey endured the pain trying to take Elliot's hand off his crushed wrist. He sliced off his hand backflipping landing on the ground. "You know The Fisherman sent me here to kill you." Grey stopped the bleeding from where his hand used to be looking at Elliot.

He fired a beam at Elliot who waved his hand making the beam redirect into the sky. Grey made aura come around his hand. A bone, flesh, and skin formed back to his right arm. Grey was a manipulator of dark energy. He is the type to encourage people to use dark energy. Elliot opened his hand and a small tornado formed in his hand. The tornado became huge and Elliot threw at Grey. "Hybrid Tornado!!" The tornado sucked up the nearby plants and animals. Grey looked at the tornado which was at least sixty feet.
