Chapter 3 - Project power

Alex was dazed a bit since he didn't know what to do. Mr. Blade the infamous leader of the blade gang would appear here. He was an A-rated deviant, a high-level superhuman!

"Get back!" Tracy reacted first as she pulled her son back and pulled out the XL ray pistol!

Her action attracted Mr. Blade's attention but as usual, he still wore a calm and villainous smile while shooting a glance around.

"Lieutenant Briggs…Where is it? Project power…" He asked casually, ignoring the gun aimed at him.

"Are you blind? This is an academic institution, why would the military hide something of such importance in a populated area?" Tracy growled but her words only made a smile appear on Mr. Blade's ugly face.

"I never said they hid anything here but now you have said it, it does make sense… Why would you come to school in your military if you weren't stationed here to watch over something…. Why wouldn't they hide something here where people will least expect it? As for why the government would do this, it's simple… They have never cared about the people and that's why I chose to fight them" Mr. Blade said calmly while taking bold strides forward.

Alex silently paid attention to everything they said and what pissed him off the most was that he agreed with the terrorist, everything he said about the government was true and that's why Alex refused to join the military. He always felt like they were not worth serving.

Looking around Alex realized that all the so called bad boy Deviants of the school were hiding in a corner while watching everything going on. He could see Chucky at the school entrance gazing at him and his mum with fearful eyes.

Shifting his attention back to his mum, he realized she had activated a device, most likely meant to alert the guardians but Mr. Blade was aware of that too.

"I really liked you, Tracy… If only you joined me to take down this government… It's a pity you have to die now!" Mr. Blade roared as he dashed forward at an incredible speed.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Tracy was prepared and quickly fired three laser beams from her ray pistol but that only left a hole on Mr. Blade's tuxedo, failing to even pierce his skin.

Whoosh!

Launching into the air, Blade threw a fast right hook at Tracy but luckily for her, Alex had no intentions of watching his mother die today. He promptly pushed her to the side before rolling in the opposite direction to evade the attack.

BANG!

The ground hit by the attack shattered, leaving a small crater behind. Mr. Blade frowned as he turned his attention to Alex who wore the same emotionless expression on his face as he got on his feet.

"Deviant or not, anyone who tries to mess with my family can't be forgiven" He said casually as he dropped his back and took off his black leather jacket, leaving him with just his ash shirt and his black jeans.

"Let's go big man" Alex said as he consumed a power pill which he shoved out of his pocket

BAM!

Not wanting to say a word, Mr. Blade rushed forward like a wild beast in an attempt to use his entire body as a weapon, but Alex was fast enough to evade with a side flip.

Pa!

Landing lightly, he tip toed forward before performing a spinning roundhouse kick, pushing Blade to the side slightly but it wasn't enough.

"The power pill given to soldiers without abilities… Grants them superhuman capabilities for a short time but at what cost… Your family truly loves you for giving you such a treasure to use and keep yourself safe but didn't they tell you what happens to all those who take it? Didn't they tell you the side effects of consuming too many pills?" Mr. Blade said while slowly walking towards Alex.

"They did…" Alex answered nonchalantly.

"He is our son… he may not be in the army but he is more capable than me and my husband combined… we gave him that pill to protect himself, its only natural we let him know the reason why he should use it as a last resort only," Tracy said before shoving down her own power pill down her throat.

"Just this one time mum, I will help you bring down this scumbag" Alex sighed.

"Hahahaha! We are only buying time till reinforcement arrives son… Don't push yourself too hard" she chuckled before dashing forward with Alex following her tightly.

"IMPUDENT FOOLS!" Mr. Blade roared as he clasped his hands together releasing a shockwave strong enough to send both of them flying back.

Bang!

Right after they hit the ground, they heard a loud sound and their instincts told them Alex was coming.

Bam!

The moment his back hit the ground, Alex endured the pain while gritting his teeth and jumping back on his feet.

"Come!" He roared as he entered a fighting stance while the massive figure of Mr. Blade rapidly approached.

"Scram!" Mr. Blades roared as punched forward without reaching them, releasing a powerful shockwave that threw Tracy and Alex into the air once again.

Bang!

They both slammed into a car but this time, Tracy couldn't hold it back anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"MUM!" Alex cried out but then he heard the loud noise of footsteps again.

Mr. Blade was approaching!

"Bastard!" Alex growled as he shot forward covering a few meters in mere seconds!

"Scram kid!" Mr. Blade roared as he threw a punch forward!

"Silence!"

Consumed by rage, Alex roared and met Mr. Blade's punch with a right hook of his own.

BANG!

Alex bit down on his lips hard as he tried to suppress the pain he felt in his bloodied right hand. He could tell all the bones in that part of his body were broken since he couldn't even move it.

"Don't look down on me!" Alex roared, ignoring the pain as he threw a fast left hook with all his might.

Bam!

He felt the bones in his left hand the moment it hit Mr. Blade's unmoving face.

Zero damage!

"Die" Mr. Blade said calmly as he threw a quick punch at Alex's chest sending him flying.

Crashing into the same car where his mother was, Alex didn't stand up this time. Tracy gazed at the lifeless eyes of her son and his once handsome face now covered in blood. His chest where the attack hit had caved in and his right hand kept dangling freely.

'This is how far a normal human can go against a deviant… What a pity'

Those were Alex's final thoughts before his vision faded and he embraced the cold arms of death.
