Chapter 4 - Old Acquaintance

After a night of rest Sayamurāji and the gang take a look at the map of the city to find out the distance between there location and the airport.

Tina: well, fourteen kilometres is gonna be a long journey.

Alex: well we can shorten the distance by taking low line routes.

Tina: No we can't, we have to take a detour, they would have already posted there men to find us and they know him.

Sayamurāji: Alright then lets roll, if we start early maybe we can make to the airport before dawn.

Alex: I am driving.

Tina: fine let's go, But before we leave, listen to me, there is a strict no for using your power in front of civilians, Only use them when you are in dire need of it and avoid any contacts with your know ones or else they will also be targeted especially you Sayamurāji.

Sayamurāji: Alright mom.

Tina: hey never do that ever again, I am only twenty got it.

Sayamurāji: Yes miss.

Tina: Very well know gather your things and get in the car.

Alex: Dude you really said that Haha...

Sayamurāji: What?

Alex: believe, me man you are just a kid, but I will tell you anyway Never try to guess a women age.

Sayamurāji: But why?

Alex: Man keep this in mind, although she seems so calm and joyful, you don't wanna see her bad side or any other women's on that matter.

Sayamurāji: Alright, I will keep it in mind.

Tina: come on the cars not gonna drive itself.

Alex: let's go kid.

After two hours of travel Tina spots a black sedan following them carrying five men in which one of them was her old acquaintance.

Tina: Drive slowly.

Alex: okay.

Tina: take a right from here.

Alex: Alright.

Tina: we are being followed

Sayamurāji: By who?

Tina: it's General Lorance.

Alex: so what? Sayamurāji can light him up with one rocket cant you kid

Sayamurāji: I guess?

Alex: Oh come on we have abilities what are you scared of some old guy with some weapons.

Tina: He is no old general, he is different.

Alex: Oh come on, I bet it Sayamurāji is gonna obliterate that guy with just one rocket.

Tina: no come back down if he confirms it's us we are dead.

Sayamurāji: Well here goes nothing.

Tina: come back down right now

Sayamurāji: fire in the hole.

Boom.....rocket makes contact with the body of the car and explodes and the car goes flying landing upside down with a fierce fire covering the entire vehicle.

Alex: see done, that guy got wasted.

sound of crunching metal reaches Tina's ears and she shouts "drive the car" as four people with a full metal armour come through the wreckage they seemed immune to flames Sayamurāji and drove their car to loss them and started shooting but it seemed that their armour was all bulletproof as none of the bullets were doing any kind of damage not even armour piercing bullet could make a contact with their organic body.

Alex: What the freak, how can anybody survive that

Tina: I told you.

Alex: But how that not even possible?

Tina: Oh believe me he was the number one military general who has a thousand kill record on his name, Now drive faster you idiot.

Alex: I am pushing this junk as fast as I can, you do something.

Sayamurāji: I am sorry Tina I think I provoked the wrong guy this time.

Tina: you think?

Meanwhile, General Lorance commands his men "soldiers one, soldier two take the high ground, remove any type recording device we want the mission to be unseen"; "soldier three and four follow them thought the undergoing tunnels, track them from lower plains and give us a clear image of all their movements and remember this we only need the kid alive you can leave kill the rest, GO.GO.GO....!".

Sayamurāji: so do you know them or what.

Tina: yeah we were together in an arms deal in Iran, He was our bodyguard but he got shot and died.

Alex: then how is he alive?

Tina: I think they used the stone to bring him back.

Alex: so basically he is an undead right.

Tina: Yeah.

Alex: do have any idea of there abilities.

Tina: No but we will get to now soon.

soldier 1 uses his ability to control metal thorns to get to the rooftops of the building and take out all the CCTV cams, soldier 2 use his ability stealth to disappear and take the cameras on the street poles. General Lorance uses his ability of manipulating water molecules to condense to ice so that he could surf on the road moving faster than most of the average cars

General Lorance shouts "Tina I am gonna return you the favour from two years ago".

Tina gets nervous from hearing his voice and puts both her hands on her head trying to calm down regarding her composer of a leader

Solder three and four strikes from the underground, both of them joined their hand to create a big earthen fist Alex take a hard turn to avoid the crash and missed the fist by just an inch.

Alex: (shouting)Tina this not the time to be scared get up right now we need you.

three and four strikes again with the stone edge(mud spikes) and this time Alex gets hit on the shoulder

Sayamurāji: Alex you alright mate.

Alex: I don't think, I can go long with this thing in my shoulder.

Sayamurāji: I am gonna take it out on the count of three ok

Alex: ok

Sayamurāji: alright one

Sayamurāji pulls it ate the count of one and Alex screams in pain

Alex: what happened to three and two

Sayamurāji: mah... I thought it would be better to do it like this.

Alex: Yeah, I don't think we can go like this even Tina is not in a condition to fight we need to hide.

Sayamurāji: I know a place where we can hide.

Alex: where?

Sayamurāji: down the street, three kilometres from here there is an apartment where I used to live

Alex: Alright but first we have to lose them.Aahhh...

Sayamurāji: you alright man. I think I should tie your wound first.

Alex: Yeah you do that. Then go underneath Tina's there are lots of equipment find something useful.

Sayamurāji: Got it, Haha... I found something.

Alex what kid?

Sayamurāji: A fire extinguisher.

Alex: what...? what are you gonna do with that?

Sayamurāji: don't you know that fire extinguisher's powder is made of monoammonium phosphate and ammonium sulfate which if mixed with urea under normal temperature releases a gas which if breathed in, makes a person incapable of seeing for a couple of hours, in short, blinding him

Alex: and where are you gonna get urea from? huh

Sayamurāji: we have it in the back we literally stole this family wagon from a farm near the forest.

Alex: alright how much time is it gonna take?

Sayamurāji: around twenty min or so if you keep the stable.

Alex: alright do it and tell me when you are ready.

Sayamurāji: you got it.

Alex: come on baby(car), I know you can do it keep going don't die on me.

soldier one strikes with his thorn chain and rips of the roof of the car, hitting Sayamurāji on the knee making him unable to walk properly

Alex: Are you alright kid did you made the gas.

Sayamurāji: yeah I am fine and the gas is ready to tell me when to strike.

Alex: Alright on my command.

Soldier one approach the car and sticks in one of his thorn chain to keep himself balanced.

Sayamurāji: I think this would be the best time to use is Alex.

Alex: Wait not until I tell you.

Soldier two and General Lorance come close to them, and shoulder one attach his chain to shoulder two and General Lorance that was the opportunity Alex was looking for

Alex: Throw it.

Sayamurāji throws the canaster stuck with a pinless grenade and it explodes releasing a gas which General Lorance and his two soldiers breath in and become unable to coordinate properly due to the chemical making them blind and they fall on the road. Soldier three come out of the gutter, bursting open the steel cap and making a wall of mud in between general Lorance and Sayamurāji.

Soldier three: Sir are you alright.

General Leronce: yes, I am alright but why did you leave tracking them, Soldier.

Soldier three: my twin (soldier four) is still on there tail General Lorance

General Lorance: fine let your brother know to keep following the target and don't until commanded and take me to the base for know

Soldier three: yes sir, I will tell him on the com.

General Lorance: I am gonna kill that annoying kid next time, and I will get back to that Tina this time until then enjoy the time you have left
