Click. A gun was pointed at Rowan's head, he had a cold expression but a maniac smile. Hold up, achievement achieved: how did we get here? So let's run that back.
Four days ago. Rowan looked at Richard who had just left, he started his new plan. Right now he wanted to go after an annoying threat. Her name was Jean, Jean was a girl who had the power to summon ten revolvers. Why revolvers and ten specifically? No one knew, but one thing they did know was that Jean didn't lose in fire fights. She was also good friends with the trio, he'd need to rid her first. With Jean out of the way, he'd be able to start phase one of his plan. Killing Isabelle, a cruel smile formed on his lips. He really hated Isabelle. But for now he needed information on Jean, he needed to know her habits and limits of her power. So what's the easiest way to get this information? Simple, bribing people. Jean was surrounded by not exactly 'moral' people. They'd sell her out for a quick buck as long as he didn't reveal their contributions to him.
Three days ago. Richard had appeared on TV, he severely injured a group of three criminals. But he couldn't kill them as their superior appeared and fought off the clone. However, Rowan already got the experience, so he considered it a win, albeit a bit regretful about the clone spot. Rowan was on track on tracking one of Jean's more normal friends. Unwilling to be named the friend said that Jean liked to go high in the mountains to train herself. Perfect, now he simply needed to stalk her. Right now he also needed to 'borrow' some explosives, good thing he knew someone who sold these. Their price was but a simple favor, easy enough.
Two days ago. After buying the explosives Rowan had planted them in the mountains during night, they were separated evenly. Detonator in hand, he was ready. Aaron had recently beaten one of the top students at the kickboxing club, he was currently being trained by one of the masters there. Richard was practicing on trying to use a knife, he was also studying the human body for new techniques. Also Rohan's disappearance was finally revealed, a new case study was being made on this. Chaos was ensuing, and Rowan was all for it.
Yesterday. Everything was set, Richard was stalking Jean. Aaron took some time off and was sparring with Rowan, the two were extremely closely tied without weapons. But they got a lot of experience. As the final curtain on the sky closed, they set off.
Rowan was silently walking through the mountain top as he appeared at Jean's normal practicing spot. Yet, she wasn't there, where'd she go- click. She was behind Rowan. Jean was a blond with golden eyes, she was three meters away from Rowan. Jean then noticed it was the missing Rowan. Though the girl didn't know why he was following her, it wasn't good at all. Jean was about to pull the trigger.
Woosh, Jean's eye narrowed. The scent of blood filled the air, Jean's arm was painted red, and her wrist was missing. A knife had come and cut off her gun hand. Immediately she screamed in pain, she pulled out a revolver and aimed it at the origin of the knife and began blasting. Rowan instantly rolled into one of the bushes. Richard ducked as the hail of bullets overwhelmed the trees behind him, the weapon wielder clicked his tongue. As Jean was distracted several kicks were flung toward her direction, she ducked as she sensed the kicks. Aaron brought his foot down and kicked Jean to the ground, but several bullets holes were implanted in his shoulder, blood spilled. However, the clone's blood would disappear after half an hour due to being a clone. Suddenly another knife cut off her other arm, Jean was screwed hard.
"..." Jean went limp, she was alive though. It was a tough and intense fight that happened dover the course of half a minute. Rowan left the bushes and looked at her, she was most definitely dead. "Why?"
"Why you ask?" Rowan chuckled slightly. His demeanor changed severely. "I did this because, you were simply in my way."
"Goodnight." Snap, death was instant and cruel.
Rowan let her body crumple, he brought in several insects and other gross animals. He let them feed on her corpse, now he could summon a new clone. However, this time the clone was female. Maybe it was because the dead was female, but that was just a theory. A CLONE THEORY- ahem! Woah, he didn't know where he got that from, anyways. The clone's name was Lilith, Rowan thought about it, what could he give her? Hand and weaponry combat were taken, maybe gun combat? Fitting. The only problem was that Lilith was twelve years old, she wasn't the age to be wielding guns. So that was off the table, until guns were on the table. Wait... how about dodging? Sure that could be part of hand combat, but Aaron focused on the combat part rather than the dodging aspect. Perfect, he'd need this skill.
After sending the trio on their merry way, Rowan was ready to leave. But something or someone caught his attention. Killa, a boy about a year older than Jean. Rowan was surprised to see the infamous 'Diamond Dad.' Yes, all of Killa's past enemies were forced to call him daddy or dad. Along with that fact that his power was to have skin that was as durable as diamonds, he was quite powerful. Why was he here? Should Rowan take the chance to end him now? No, no, two missing people was a very bad coincidence but three? No, something was going on. Plus, Killa was here with Jean. If everyone knew that the two would visit this place then no animals on the mountain could kill them. Someone definitely murdered them.
Rowan extracted his killing intent and left silently, leaving the poor boy to find the remains of the girl. One more down, a whole lot more to go.
