It was night time and I was pissed, because of the "Gu master" putting a hit out on me I cant catch a break from ass-whole assassins, and pussy mercenaries who like to come in groups, I had to reschedule my date with Carmen
And honestly I don't even think half of these people know each other, its messing with my training.
Right now I'm supposed to be training for the tournament that's coming up in about 14 days from now, yet I keep having to waste time on these hungry mosquito's trying to make a come up off of me.
(A/N There is a lot of readers who don't know slang terms so I'll point them out to you as I go "come up" means large profit )
On the bright side though I made the splash that I was looking for, none of these people so far knows my background, or even my real name, but they do know me as "the traveler."
Any ways right now it's past 10 at night and right now I had to send Carmen and Star back to my Ohio home.
Why ?... Because right now Amaya, Phea,
and I are busy fighting against about thirty or
fourth random assassin's of all strength and a team of about thirteen to fourteen ninjas; Yes
literal ninjas with katanas, and whenever we kill an assassin we can't even really profit from it
because they somehow explode to or keep fighting until they die; Seriously annoying.
Third person POV
Amaya and Phaedra we're back to back, they're teamwork was too natural, when enemies tried moving in close, Amaya would handle the situation accordingly; Whenever the assassins would try to gain distance, Phaedra would attack
"Close range fighters, let's work together on those two and charge in !" Someone shouted
"Yes !" several people responded
A group of fifteen lined up and charged at Amaya and Phaedra
as they got closer the temperature increased from Amaya's flame law
"Phae." Amaya
"Yes, of course." Phaedra smiled and said
A sphere of fire formed around them
The group stopped their advance, but the girls weren't done
The sphere shifted and morphed, then turned into a pillar and started twisting.
Everyone around started being sucked in to the fiery tornado, even Christian
"AAAAAAGHHHH" The screams of those not strong enough to resist the pull could be heard
"HEY HEY, DONT PULL THE HOUSE INTO YOUR FIRENADO THATS A RENTAL !" X yelled, but knew he couldn't be heard
(Time to change locations.) Christian thought to himself
X stepped on the ground and formed a non-attribute magic circle
(Transport)
X brought them all to a clearing somewhere in West Africa
Now there was a lot of noises and words said that X didn't understand, a great deal of the assassins X fought this far didn't even speak Chinese
But if there was one thing, Christian developed before stepping into the supernatural, is sharpening his senses.
And his senses told him that most of the people here, are completely confused about what just happened.
This is a skill Christian had to develop in his time he was forced to serve in PRISON.
But that's a story for later
Christian quickly looked around and almost every assassin here stopped to look around, Amaya and Phae was still sucking enemies onto their blazing inferno, as if they expected this.
(Better strike while the irons hot.) X thought smiling
While everyone was still standing around, X opened (Gates) all around himself, spears was seen appearing out of them
"Get down !" a ninja yelled in Chinese
It was too late for everyone else
The current two hundred something spears launched and took the lives of most of the assassins
Besides the ninjas, and the few people still trying to fight against Amaya and Phae, the only assassins were either injured or even better.... separated
Christian summoned his enchanted Glock, and teleported to an injured woman
(Bang) shot her in the head from point blank
The ninjas tried to regroup and attack at once, but Christian's teleportation was too quick
Appearing over an green skinned hobgoblin with shoulder length hair, Christian brought up his foot.
And stomped down, with gravity increased
(Teleport)
The ninjas failed again
"Brothers, he trying to pick off the injured, we must use the talismans to keep up! Split !" A ninja yelled
The ninjas split up and did what in American football is called "zone defense" meaning they separated and guarded several areas of space.
The assassins helped.
"Damn there goes my genius plan." Christian says under his breath
Still, Traveler X stuck with this strategy anyways
First person POV
(I choose...you.) X thought to himself looking at an ninja at the back far left, he was the least guarded
Only two weak assassins near him
"He's looking over here move out of my way weaklings, you'll only drag me down !" The
ninja shouted
(Probably, just because you have numbers as an advantage doesn't always help, especially if those around you will only slow down and limit your movement)
The mercenaries stepped over
And as dumb as this may sound, I purposely let him prepare, everyone looked back in forth between us
He pulled out some sort of long skinny piece of yellow paper, with Chinese writing on it, I didn't bother to read it
( Just make sure he can't use it) I mentally warned myself, yes myself
As soon as i teleported to him all of the ninjas was there somehow
Based on their speed, I should have had about two seconds before them landing on me, somethings not right
Instead of thinking properly I stuck my right arm out, and starting from a female ninja
( Space tearer ! ) I tore in half the five ninjas in front of me, but some how they stuck those long pieces of paper on my arm, collar bone, and face
And I'm guessing those papers were magical somehow, because I'm being shocked beyond belief right
(BRZXZXDZLLLKKXX !!!) We're the sounds I made
"CHRISTIAN !!!" Both of the girls shouted
" Ha the talismans are working" someone said
(Fuck I got to get out of this, oh shit.) Looking up the ninjas were about to stab me with katanas
(Teleport) I moved out of the way into a barrier, and snatched each piece of paper off
(This must be the talisman huh.)
"You got me good." I said getting up and summoning a Mana potion
"STOP HIM !" a mercenary yelled as if he could
Everyone charged at the same time, and a large fire ball came down on the crowd
"DISPERSE !"
All of them didn't make it.
I turned my head back and seen Amaya, and Phaedra finished with their enemies
"I got this." X
"Why can't we help you ?" Phaedra
"Yeah, do you think we'll drag you down ?! I was your master remember !?" Amaya asked
"Chill, puppy face and Wendy's. I just have a talent for solving my weaknesses during the fight somehow. And this is a perfect chance to learn." Christian
(A/N why he called Phaedra Wendy's was because she uses wind magic and there is a restaurant or actually chain of restaurants in the U.S called Wendy's)
"Arrogant boy, you'll regret trying to fight all of us alone." A female ninja said
The ninjas regroupped and recharged at Christian
As they closed in, they unleashed a series of magical and aura attacks
Now I'm refreshed from white magic and Mana potion Christian teleported to the spot they started
(Their speed, is just how I timed it before.....hold on) X got an idea
I teleported to an lone mercenary and formed an ball of dark element on his hand, then threw it into the guy's face
He died
Then teleported to a group
(Gravity press)
They all went down, unfortunately this trick failed on the ninjas
a blue magic circle appeared over the grounded group
A stream of lightning streamed down and fried them.
"He's picking off the weak again !" a ninja yelled
"Don't you all get offended being called "weak"." I asked out loud to no one in particular
"Separate again !" Ninja
They once again spread out
(Here goes)
This time I chose the one right in the center of their formation
(Teleport)
They all spotted me and lifted those "talismans" and just like that, they were on me again. This time I teleported back
"Okay so those "talismans" allow you to teleport to each other, but not any where you want.....?" I say feeling like the greatest genius of all time
A silence fell all over the battle field.
"So your just now getting that ?" Phaedra asked
"What ? I just solved the mystery of that sudden speed that almost took me out."
"What a dumbass, he just now figuring out about talismans. Hahahaha." A ninja laughed
"For ninjas, you guys sure do talk a lot." I say out of irritation
Even the mercenaries, had a smirk across their faces
"We submit." Some of them said
"What why ? Don't you want 20 million dollars ?" I asked
"Yes but even if we kill you, we won't be able to escape those two. " A female with blond hair said
"So please forgive us for being blond of your great power, brother." a dark haired male with tan skin said
"Dafuck, don't call me brother, your mother didn't birth me and I definitely don't know your father !" I say getting angry of their sudden switch
I step forward, and a hand touched my back.
I looked behind me, and seen Phae
She shook her head and started to speak
"You can't kill everyone who angers you, some of these people have families too. Would you have attacked someone for that amount of money." Phaedra
I thought about it for ten seconds, then shook my head
"It depends on whether they deserves it or not, all the people I have attackede since coming into the supernatural have been scumbags." X
A small bright flicker shown itself on Phaedra's face but then it went back to looking serious
"So have you considered that they may be doing these vile things to survive ?
Have you considered that maybe your just as bad as they are for the amount of bloodshed you've spilled in the past two weeks ? What are you even fighting for anyways ?" Phaedra
I looked at her for a moment and started thinking back
I thought back to being kidnapped and threatened with brainwashing by a pack of werewolves and a mage of some sort
I thought further back to being laid on the ground, with a gun to my head
Even further back to before stepping into the supernatural just about two years ago at age 17, when I was in prison being pressed for the first time by an inmate and fighting for my life up in there several times and no one helped me
(A/N "pressed" = violently tested to see if your a coward)
I thought back even further at when I was framed at age 16 and no one spoke up for me
And finally back to when this all started with Tracey dieing in my arms, when someone could have at least called an ambulance, AND THEY COULD HAVE SAVED HIM FROM BLEEDING OUT
(Calm down, breathe) I told myself
I look back at Phaedra and speak
" ( Gasp)....I thought about this before while in a level five maximum security prison, and thought about it again when you just asked me, so I'll tell you now.
Those who choose to live in filth, are worse than filth.
And those who have the power and time to remove the scum from around them but choose not to, are even worse than scum." I said looking her in the eyes, then at the scared crowd of would be "warriors"
"How could you choose to step on others you deem weaker than you, yet get angry when someone stronger than you chooses to step on you ?" Christian
"That type of "eye for an eye" mentality will only lead you down the path of further bloodshed and despair. And you're saying they are scum for doing what it takes for success ? You sound "bitter" about something. Is it that dream you had the other day ?" Phaedra
"I know, I learned that lesson almost two years ago, that getting even doesn't fix the damage done." I was cut off when Phae asked me
"I thought you just found out about the supernatural almost a year ago ?" Phae said with a shocked face
"That's true, but I was murderer long before I found out about the "magical world", I
experienced hardship, losing loved ones,and
more at the tender age of sixteen haha. All of my life, only two people have really helped me in my time of need and one of them is standing right over there."
An even more bitter sounding laugh came from my mouth as I look at Amaya who seems to be watching as if this scene was in a drama movie
" .....* Ahem But anyways they had no good intentions from the start so I think we should just step on them and call it a day." X
"You're a complicated little boy...hahaha" Phaedra said and looked up to the sky
"Ummm...how ?" X
"You refuse to be like the villains, yet you are so quick to spill blood.
You are not trying to play hero, but you are at the same time.
I've lived for a long time and have rarely seen contradistinctions like you; You pass. " Phaedra continued to laugh
"Huh....?" I thought about it and laughed
"Yes. You pass again, do what you please with them." Phae
"Wait no please I have a little girl at home." Someone screamed
I put my head down and thought
"Okay...Just this once I'll let you all go.
But if I see you in the future, even just buying groceries at the grocery store...You had better run !" I say showing my teeth like an animal
"Yes older brother." some female with purple skin who was clearly older than me said
Everyone got up and bowed, then fled
Scene change Ohio mansion
We made it home and decided not to let this ruin the summer getaway
"....Okay tomorrow we're going back to LA ! But still kinda hanging out in China until the tournament is over !" X
"We want to go!" said Star and Carmen's little brown haired brother
"No. Only adults." Star said smugly
As for tonight.....I looked through the bald headed assassin's emails and found his address
I don't think he needs the possessions in his house anymore.....
He lived in an "private housing estate" in North Hong Kong
Let's take as trip there
