Leaving from his old, now abandoned home, Hades took a deep breath of the night breeze. There was nothing more that he wanted right now than to slaughter the man who killed his family. Hades couldn't get the image of his family being stabbed to death out of his head. First, his wife was stabbed in the chest befor being thrown to the floor. After that, the killer had went for Hades's son and two dauthers. Over and over and over, the scene kept replaying in his head.
'If I had stayed home that day like my wife wanted, maybe I could've stopped their deaths.'
Hades took a couple stepped down the street beofre stopping as an all too familiar voice spoke to him.
"Tell me. Tell me how I knew you would be here."
Hades didn't even have to turn around, he already knew the voice of Harley Vale.
"Your predictions are on point."
"Make this easy and just give up. I'll asure that your punishment is reasonable if you do." Harley asured him.
It would be a tempting offer for most escaped prisioners who had second thoughts, but not Hades. His mind was set and he made his choice ever since he left the prison. Now, he was utterly determined to find the killer and he had a good idea on how to find him.
Hades shook his head.
"I refuse your offer."
"I tried to be nice. I guess people like you shouldn't be given second chances. Enough is enough, I'm going to mess you up."
Harley leaped forward and swung her fist. Hades ducked and wrapped his arms around her, sqeezeing with all his might.
"Hey! This is a fight, not a hugging contest!" Harley shouted.
Hades lifted her into the air, before slamming her to the floor with all of his strenght.
A cloud of debre filled the air. The floor cracked all around as the area quaked.
Slam! Smash! Crack! Shake!
"I won't go down as easy as all of our other fights." said Hades.
Harley Vale flicked the air, sending forward a burst of wind that cleared the dust.
Swsh.
"I just wasn't expecting you to grab me. Don't get cocky!" She shouted as she ran forward. Harley Vale grabbed Hade's shoulder, holding him still as she punched his stomach and sent him into the air above.
Bmp! Swoosh!
As Hades fell through the air, Harley Vale sent a kick to his side, knocking him through multiple sets of walls.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
Hades trembled as he stood up.
'I can't lose.' He quickly raised his fists but a sudden kick sent him crashing into the floor.
Smash! Crackle!
Before Hades even realized what hit him, Harley lifted him up before slamming her hell on his head, slamming him against.
Slam!
Harley Vale almost wanted to pitty her oponent as his will to fight was keeping him concious.
Hades alid still, waiting to be struck again, but it didn't happen. Harley Vale only voiced herself once more.
"Now that you know I'm not playing. I'll ask you again. Do you give up."
Hades risen up from the floor while his limbs were weaks and shaking,trying not to give out. A light stream of blood dripped dwon his face as he replied.
"You're one strong woman. For sure a Tae-Kwon-do master. But I won't give up just yet."
"Fuck you! You're one hell of a dumb bastard!" Harley Vale Insulted. She was about to lung forward at him, but she stopped as she heard walking coming near. It was the sound of boots.
'A civilian?' Harley Vale thought to herself.
As she turned to look, she saw that it was a woman. It was woman who wore a dark-red buisness suit ,along with silky white gloves. Her hair was red, but her facial features were being covered by a mask.
Harley Vale verbalized a warning for the civilian to stand back.
"Stop right there. I am a goverment offical, aprehending a dangerous prisioner. I advise you to step back."
But, it felt like her words held no meaning as the woman ignored them, walking over to the injured Hades.
Harley Vale spoke even louder to catch the civilian's attention.
"Stay away from that man! He's a dangerous criminal!"
And still, the woman took the words lightly and gigled.
"Heheh...Dangerous? Couldn't be dangerous as me."
The woman then spoke to the injured Hades.
"Listen closley, I'll give you one oportunity. Agree to join my organization that is fighting out against the goverment. If you do so, I'll asure you won't be taken away by that guard. Make up your mind quick."
Hades had no idea who this strange woman was but, it looked like joining was this only option. If he did't accept the offer, he knew that was going to fight a losing battle. But he did doubt some stranger would be able to do much agaisnt the likes of Harley Vale.
"Whatever your organization is, I don't care…..I'm all for it. Where do I sign up." said Hades.
The woman adjusted her gloves a bit as she replied.
"I'll tell you the deatils later.as promised, I'll help you by dealing with that guard."
Harley Vale wore a serious yet confused face by hearing this strange woman's words.
"What are you talking about? Don't tell me you plan to fight me."
The woman the started to walk towards Harley.
"Heheh. Let's assume I do."said the woman.
"Your out your mind. I guess I'll have to escort you to prison too. Attacking somone in my positon is a federal offense."
"Oh no…. I care not."
The woman slid over and flung a kick at Harley Vale, knocking her back.
Harley Vale was nearly knocked off balance but regained it quite easily. However, the strangers power caught her by suprise. Who was this person's real identity?
"Who the hell are you?" Harley Vale asked.
Thw woman let out a high-pitched giggle while replying.
"Me? Aheheh. I'm a little sad you didn't notice by the way I dress. HERE, let me remove this thing off my face…." The woman paused for a brief second while removing her mask and finished up with "I am the leader of a very popular organization. I'm sure you can recconize me now."
Harley Vale bit down on her lip. Her oponent wasn't a civilian or any stranger, it was the very person responsible for the recent attack on two city's. This person's name was Arisa, the leader of organization X.
"You..Do you know how many deaths were lost because of you?!" Harley Vale asked.
Arisa was left to only shrug her shoulders.
"I have no clue. Nor do I care."
This was enough. Harley Vale was going to fight this person with everything she had, with intent to kill as fast as possible.
[You have activated 'Limit Break' x 10]
A tramendous amount of energy vibrated through the air and Harley Vale's aura caught the attention of every civilian in this part of the city. And those who were sleeping, were awoken by feeling the intense energy flow. Harley Vale's eyes were overflowing with the shine of red.And as she took a single step forward, the ground trembled with so much force that a multiple wall nearby had collapsed.
"I'll kill you."
"What? But if you fight with that much power you'll kill every inccoent person in every neighboring neiborhood. I could care less about them, but I can't have you killing me withing seconds."
Arisa snapped her fingers and the Harley Vale's power faded and her
[Limit Break] skill deactivated.
But how?
Harley Vale already knew what the cause was, but she didn't want to accept it. A person with a skill to deactivate other skills was something deadly.
"So. I'm sure you noticed that your skills won't help you against me." Arisa stated.
"Yeah, I'm aware. I guess I'll just have to give you a harder beating then I planned to."
"Beating? Is that what you call killing someone."
Harley Vale cracked her knuckles and replied "Oh, that's right. 'Kill' I'll be killing you harder, then."
Arisa just couldn't help but shake her head in disapointment, releasing a sigh.
"All this false confidence. Where do you get it from?"
"Let's get started already. I'm itching to put you down."
"If you insist on starting right away, then I'll take you up on that offer."
The two intensely stared at each other in silence. Harley Vale wore a glare and a serious face while her oponent looked like the completley opposite.
Arisa wore a long, wicked smile while her phycotic pupils grew small and filled with a sense of exitment.
"This will be fun."
In that moment, the two leaped at eachother, preparing to strike.
