Nate threw himself towards the area filled with fallen cemented concretes . He took cover using it as he was getting rained by bullets, fired by some men wearing black suites .
'F*ck! How did I get in this situation?!'
From proning, he seated himself against it while holding a pistol beside him . But he doubt if it's useful to him since he hasn't killed someone before; what's more, he doesn't dare .
He looks around the dark and deserted surroundings, where the moon is the only light source that radiate the area . It was a circular place filled with many abandoned buildings from all sides .
'How can I escape from this situation?'
It was his older brother who went with him in this strange place, saying that he has an important meeting with someone . He's been waiting for him since entering the building beside him but till now, he hasn't gone out yet .
Nate's eyes narrowed .
'Did something happened to him? If that's so, I gotta go save him.'
He peeks from the edge of the concrete to see the suited men, still firing their sub-machine guns .
'But not while I'm still getting pinned down here.'
******
One of the suited men complained to his fellow .
"We should just rush him instead? It would be easier and faster."
"He's right." Others agreed .
"What are you saying? The Capo warned us earlier to be careful."
"Oh c'mon, what's the harm? He isn't even here anymore."
They start to gaze around, trying to find the said person .
"Maybe he went back already?"
"..."
He reconsiders their suggestion .
"Okay, let's move."
******
Nate was bewildered for the sudden pause but he also thought of it as an opportunity to escape . But as he tried to do so, fragments of rock flew by him .
He swiftly hides back again .
'Sh*t! They're still not finished.'
He noticed their footsteps getting nearer so he open fired at them for the first time. It delayed their advance and so they fired back .
'That will spare me some time.'
On the corner of his eyes, he notices a red stain on his hand .
He opens his palm .
'Blood?...'
From there, he noticed a bullet wound on his side . He quickly covered it with his other hand, to momentarily slow the bleeding .
'Sh*t... They got me good.'
It sent a sudden rush of adrenaline in him, completely flipping over his mindset .
'Fine, if they get me. I will get them in return.' He stands up and begins to open fire at them .
This time, he's seriously trying to take their lives .
******
On one of the roofs, a figure is sitting while witnessing the whole situation . The person is dressed in a mixed of red and black long coat which he left hanging like a cape .
A sinister grin appeared on his face .
"Hmhmhm.. this is getting interesting."
He suddenly snaps out of it when he notices a new aura getting nearer .
"Ho~ Someone is coming to the rescue."
******
Bang! Bang! Chck!...
Nate seated himself again, trying to cover .
"Sh*t! I ran out of ammo."
He hears their footsteps getting closer .
'So this is it huh, such an ugly fate.... though I can still do one thing..."
He reaches for his pocket which contained a grenade .
'...it's taking them with me."
"Sorry brother, I will not be able to spend more time with you anymore." He murmured .
He readied himself, waiting for them to appear within his sight and distance . But as he was about to pull the safety of the grenade, a smoke mysteriously appeared at the back of the men .
They looked back to see what it is .
The smoke suddenly turned into a human dressed in a duster coat and wearing a hat . Then he aimed his revolver pistol towards the suited men .
"Sorry I'm a bit late."
Bang!!
One of them instantly dropped on the ground, lifeless . Alarmed, they fired back with their sub-machine guns . They successfully hit the person however, it turned back to smoke and disappeared .
"Is it an illusion?!"
"Don't let your guard down! He could be somewhere."
"..."
"I'm right here." He appears back looking through a window above them .
It turned into a firefight as both sides exchanged fire . On of the suited men took this chance to call for help using a phone .
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon" He muttered, waiting for a response .
The other side didn't respond .
'F*ck!! That bastard. We're all gonna die at this point.'
******
The person who's sitting on the roof notices his phone ringing .
The grin on his face disappeared .
"So you finally cry for my help huh."
He slowly stands up .
******
Meanwhile, Nate was frozen in place as he watched the whole scene in awe .
'An Ability User...'
He always have been aware of their existence since his older brother enlightened him before .
They are people who are gifted with supernatural abilities . They only covered 5% of the population of the world, so being one is considered to be extremely rare .
He remembered what his brother said earlier, that this city has many of them scattered around . He didn't really believed it at first, but it's different now .
******
Only one suited man remained, and that is the one who called earlier . He looked around and saw the scattered body of his lifeless comrades .
"Is that it? What a boring fight."
The person wearing a hat appeared near from smoke . Nate noticed that he resembles a gunslinger of the old 'wild west.'
"You're the only one left?" The hatted person refers to the suited man .
The man stumbled back as he dropped his gun . He bit his lip in anger .
'It's because of that bastard!'
"There's no point in struggling. It's time for you to pay for your sins."
Suddenly, a burst of wind passed by Nate, knocking him down . It was caused by a person running with a swift speed, making their way to the hatted person .
The hatted person looked back . Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed a grenade flying towards him .
'What?!'
Boom!!!
It exploded near him but luckily, he managed to avoid it in time by using his ability .
He appeared back not far from it .
"Where did that came from?... Luckily I-- agghh!!!"
He was stabbed through the chest with a katana sword . The blade of it is illuminating a green-coloured light .
Blood splattered from his mouth .
'This.. blade..'
******
Meanwhile, Nate notices a huge symbol of a skull on the back of the person's black-red long coat .
