Chapter 12: Angel
It's in a garbage dump with old electronics. A silver-haired girl with her hat tipped back and wearing a pair of skinny jeans was picking out the goodies among the electronics.
No doubt. She is the white witch Madana.
Watching the scene of a fresh and energetic girl unpacking the equipment, a security guard uncle from the site feels like he has become younger as he listens to music from the 2000s. Isn't the scene where a beautiful girl comes to a junkyard and dismantles the things too imaginative?
The girl, whose whole body was wet with sweat and her whole face was covered with sweat too. she threw the things she wanted into her bag and gave a thumbs up to uncle.
"Young uncle, I got everything I wanted. I'll go."
"Calm down...take care and don't stay outside alone until late."
While reminding the girl, Uncle Security Man checked the list of goods coming in and going out for today. A girl the age of his daughter was very polite to him, a poor man. So He really pleased with the condition.
"Never mind, the only people who come here to talk to me are this girl and another asian guy. I don't know if that guy isn't coming this week."
Uncle remembered the Asian boy with the strange name Marlin and sighed.
Madena, who became a girl, took her bag lightly, refreshed her face at the water tap, and left the waste area with a refreshing energy.
....
"A trap... it's a trap."
Fred stared in disbelief at the sight before him as he clutched his bleeding arm. The heroes and special policemen are attacking them from the street and don't even care about their death.
He himself could not understand the current event. On their way to the enemy branch, they were surrounded by more than twenty fighting robots and heroes from the New York Association and Special Police Department.
In fact, heroes and special police are not very involved in the affairs of the underground world. Both sides have their own rules. As underground gangs, they spread dangerous drugs; Or a very large amount is often ignored by the concerned unless it is distributed. It is because there is no force that can overturn the entire underground world of New York.
The Diamond Bros Gang is one of the top three gangs in New York's underground gangs, and their leader, Fred, is a B+ rank mobster. Even the head of the New York Hero Association is only A-, and the NYPD couldn't hire such a powerful mutant. As long as the Hero leader himself has not moved, they can be said to be safe.
However, their security is no longer there.
"Leader, run away from here quickly. We will defend."
The seven-foot-tall Afican American screamed as he smashed and destroyed about a dozen Rank D level police robots with a large pylon in his hand.
Gang members were busy fighting back against police and heroes but they were outnumbered. In front of Fred was a young man holding a syringe.
He looked to be about twenty-five years old, and his bright blonde hair was carefully styled with gel. He was neatly dressed in western clothes and looked like a gentleman. He looked at Fred with his arms outstretched and said in a nonchalant manner.
"Hey, Fred. I think you're already too powerful in this town. Even a police officer is killed by your gang. It's interesting... you've yet to test your power."
"I don't know what you're talking about Harry, I didn't know my men killed a policeman."
"It doesn't matter, you're in the sunset now."
A man in a western suit took a step forward. Fred also clenched his hands and gathered the lightning. Even thunder and lightning clouds gathered in the night sky of the small ring town. He didn't even think about the opponent in front of him.
Harry Collins, the vice leader of the New York Hero Association, who is a B+ level mutant. His power is Atom-Kinesis. Particles from the air can be collected and shaped. Fred's arm injury was also caused by him. It was an ambush attack by shaping some atoms into bullets.
"Watch the fist." Fred ran forward and punched Harry with a fist full of lightning. Harry raised his hand in defense. Some elusive atom turned into an electrical shield, preventing Fred's electricity from flowing through him.
"All power is wasted in the face of an incomparable defense."
The ability to control atoms is a power that has almost no downside. He has no other weakness than the limited number of atoms he can control. But that number of atoms is good enough to protect itself.
"Lightning body." Fred's entire body became transparent enough to see through, and lightning bolts filled his entire body. His body then accelerated four times as fast as before and attacked Harry from all sides.
The atomic shield was still able to protect against lightning, and Harry didn't miss a potion.
"I got you." Harry turned the fingers of his right hand into a gun and pretended to shoot Fred. The magnetic particles gathered together and became a bullet, and quickly ran to Fred.
"Die..." Fred blocked the bullet with his lightning magnetic field. However, more bullets were still entering him. It has changed from attack to defense.
"Mr. Fred, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to call an attorney."
"I can't...I will avenge for my brothers." Fred drew lightning from the sky. A bolt of lightning from the sky rushed towards Harry.
"Oh...try it." Harry activated his atomic shield with all his might. However, he could only deflect the nearly three hundred million volts of lightning.
grewww...
The entire road made of concrete fell into the valley. All the lightning rods were melted and all the windshields on the street were broken. The entire neighborhood where the battle was taking place had a blackout. Fred is dying. Pulling lightning from the sky was a very exhausting task for him.
The atomic shield has also been crushed. However, a B+ hero cannot die easily. A man crawled out of the valley that had been struck by lightning, his whole body burned black. In his hand was a 6-pound cannon made of atomic particles
"Fred... Is this your Ultimate Skill?. I have one too."
The cannonball shot towards Fred with the speed of a real cannonball. Fred himself was powerless to avoid it. Therefore, he watched as the cannonball came straight at him.
"Leader..." A gang member, who was holding a large pylon, stood in front of the cannon and hit him with the pylon. However, the pylon broke and a cannonball hit him in the chest.
"Ah...." He fell backwards. The artillery has also stopped. However, his bones seem to be irreparably damaged.
"Man...what are you doing?"
"Let's run, my lord... If their reinforcements come again, we won't be able to stop them."
Even a B+ hero and a few hero members were already able to push them to the end. More reinforcements will arrive until they are killed. There is no benefit in staying. They have to retreat strategically.
"But.. and you?"
"Don't worry about us, get revenge later."
"Leader, get out of here quickly."
"Run now."
"You guys..." Fred gasped as he looked at his men. However, if he was caught, his entire group would be finished. He still couldn't destroy the team his father had founded.
"One day I will save you."
"The leader just grabbed the lightning bolt, just like the great master. I'm sure one day, like the great master, he'll be able to break through the mist prison and save us. Now just run away."
Five strong men, about seven feet tall, stood between the B+ hero and Fred, who had regained consciousness. They only have physical strength and no mutant power to face a B+. There is only one courage.
They could also see the army of heroes and polices running from a distance.
"If you die, don't say anything bad about me."
Harry created several bullets in the air. Fred looked at the scene for the last time and shook his head in pain. Then he turned around and ran away.
Streams of blue lightning emanated from him. His speed is as fast as a car. The power of lightning that he inherited from his father. However, his strength is still not up to that of his father, the supervillain Raggat, who was an A-rank. He is still wickedly weak.
...
"People of New York. Fred, the supervillain from Diamond Bros, has escaped from a police operation. He is armed and has B+ power, so if you find him, please stay safe and notify the authorities."
Standing in front of an electronics store, Fred listens to an interlude coming from the TV. Isn't it his news? Some of the people were watching the news on their smartphones and ran away when they saw the bloodied policeman and the young man. Interim news even has a role to discuss with a psychologist.
"Fred is the son of Raggat, the American super-villain of one time. He's just as cruel and crooked as his father. He's even worse. He lived with a mentally ill mother in his childhood and was bullied at school. So he can't feel love and only knows how to be cruel."
"No...no....My father and mother are kind. You are the unkind." Because he got angry, lightning struck the electronics store and destroyed everything.
His mother always smiles at him until he is traumatized by his villainous father and goes mad. When Fred was young, he lived with his mother, who was psychotic and constantly hurting herself. However, she did not hurt her son. Villain Raggat also did not treat him badly. He always said that after conquering the whole world, he would make him the crown prince, and treated him kindly whenever he met him.
He was frustrated with the administration that was always racist and wanted to establish a country without such divisions. He was originally a hero, but because of this incident, he had a disagreement with the hero association and became a villain. People who respected him became his followers and fought against injustice. However, to stand as an illegal organization, he had to do illegal works, and he had to establish the Diamond Bros underground gang.
He once broke into an American mutant prison set up by an S-rank hero and saved his followers. It was the villain Raggat's pinnacle success, and even other villains and heroes recognized his power. As a hero, he is much stronger than Metal Paladin and many times more powerful than the current leader of the New York League. Only S ranks can be compared him.
Villain Raggat's famous policy is the no-kill rule. The members of Diamond Bros ' gang also had to follow that rule. Other villain organizations even call them black on the outside and white on the inside, and have a better reputation than the Yamaguchi and Dimitri families, who are hero families and set up illegal businesses.
Pedestrians fled and the police arrived, so Fred had to run again. His strength was slowly waning because he was bleeding, but he couldn't heal his wounds. Currently, no hospital is safe for him. Even clinics with ties to underground gangs could sell out a pathetic gang-affiliated villain like him.
Thus, he went to hide in the back alley of the old apartment. It was a place with poor cleanliness, and the stench entered his nose. He sat down leaning against the wall because he had no strength left.
He was so weak that he felt dizzy. He might bleed to death right now.
His thoughts were interrupted when a pair of long white legs appeared in front of him and he looked up. A girl with silver hair who looked like a high school girl bent over and looked at him.
The girl was wearing old sneakers and a pair of skinny jeans. The t-shirt is slightly loose and has a lively and fresh look.
Her skin is as pale as porcelain, and even the eyes are silver. And quite cute.
"Ah... you've been bullied? A lot of blood."
"..." 'Isn't he afraid of me? I'm the supervillain that's been announced everywhere. What is she doing?' Fred could not understand. Isn't this girl treating him intimately as if she knew him?
The girl ignored him and sat down in the alley and opened her bag.
"I've been in a silly condition lately, so I often carry medicine. You're lucky."
The girl took out the first aid box and opened it. Wound dressing plasters and cleaning cottons, even bottles of alcohol are included.
The girl said while cleaning his wound with alcohol.
"Fred? Who hurt my little friend like that? What did you get stabbed with?" The girl pointed to the spot where the atomic bullet hit. As it was a bullet from the power of mutant, the bullet disappeared and was no longer there. If not, the bullet must be separated.
After adding the medicine, the girl covered the wound with a plaster and put all the items back in the bag. Fred looked at the weight of the bag and rolled his eyes. old copper coils, circuits, Gears from home robotics; He was thorough. The last girl put her bag back and poked Fred's head.
"Don't get bullied again, drag the bully out. I'm going. bye..." Fred waved back at the girl who waved in confusion.
"Is she an angel?" Fred just thought that. He couldn't understand the connection between how she is knowing his name and being bullied. However, he knew that the girl was not dangerous. In addition, he still felt a warm feeling in his heart.
"Girl, I don't know who you are, but I'll definitely repay you when I'm done."
Fred pursed his lips and looked up at the evening sky. He will have to uncover the tricks behind these cases.
