The sound of feet tapping against the ground could be heard as it resounded throughout the streets of the seventh city, a slender shadow could be seen moving forward,
By her shape you could vaguely tell she was a woman, a cold wind blew causing her blond hair to sway and her green eyes looked especially chilly as a cold glint flashed past her eyes from time to time.
That slender shadow was obviously hazel; she had already reached the construction site, looking at the top of the uncompleted skyscraper you could see the Ancient man sitting on top of a steel bar, as he swung his legs merrily.
He didn't seem to be anxious about the fact that he was sitting at the top of a 100 meter tall building, if the Ancient man where to fall down from that height he would die immediately, or else he had some trick up his sleeve.
After a little moment of hesitation Hazel calmed down as she climbed the building, while keeping an eye on the ancient man who didn't seem too bothered about her.
Seeing this she bit her teeth in anger, her target didn't seem to pay attention to her in the slightest, "he's underestimating me," she muttered to herself as she climbed the steel bar, she was a little wobbly, clearly she wasn't used to walking on metal bars 300 feet in the air, after a few minutes she reached the top.
Suddenly a deep voice sounded out, "you seem to be having trouble adapting to the new environment, if you where outside the domes you would be dead by now,"
Hearing this Hazel frowned as she brought out her guns, "that's not for you to decide," saying this she pointed her guns towards the Ancient man who was still sitting on the steel bar.
Unexpectedly the ancient man moved, raising the briefcase in his hands, "Bang!" "Bang!" two loud bangs sounded out, if everything was played in slow motion you could see two small green bullets that shone with a cold light under the moonlight,
These bullets moved at terrifying speed towards the ancient man, there was no escape, "Tang!" "Tang!" two consecutive sounds rang out, the bullets didn't hit the Ancient man as they were supposed to, but instead, they hit the black metallic briefcase in his possession.
"Sizzle!"
A faint sizzling sound could be heard as the small holes made in the metallic briefcase melted a little, but that did not affect the briefcase much as the bullets couldn't even pierce through it completely.
Jason who was seeing everything was astonished as he muttered "acid?" Feeling Jason's confusion the ancient man said, "It's poison to be exact, acidic poison; I'm even surprised that the briefcase could withstand it,"
Hearing this Jason felt his heart grow cold, this was the kind of bullets they had been dodging all this time, the ancient man didn't seem too bothered by that as he still had a small grin on his face.
Seeing her target talking to himself Hazel prepared to fire another round, but she seemed to be too slow, suddenly a figure appeared before her like a sudden flash of light, he was right before her, his beautiful red eyes peered deeply into a her light green eyes,
His small grin made, It seem as if he could see through all her secrets and was mocking her about it, her first instinct was the pull the trigger, but the ancient man beat her to it pushing her hand down,
"Bang!"
The sound of a gunshot was heard again, followed by the small sound of metal ringing; the bullet had hit a still bar below them, seeing the startled look on Hazels face the Ancient man said, "you don't react too well to having your personal space breached do you,"
Looking at the handsome face in front of her Hazel was indeed a little startled, as a small blush appeared on her face, but she quickly regained her composure, intending to pull her hand back, but the ancient man wouldn't let go as he firmly held onto her.
Seeing this Hazels eyes narrowed as she swung her free hand towards the ancient man intending to hit him with the base of her gun, but the ancient man also had a free hand, as he also held onto her second arm.
Now the both of them where in a bind with none of them attacking, they just stood there watching each other as they waited for the first person to make a move,
Looking at the ancient man who still had a small grin on his face Hazel felt annoyed, she felt like hitting him with a stick, the sound of police sirens became more apparent, it was only a matter of time before they were found.
Suddenly the ancient man made the first move, as he bent Hazels arms in an irregular direction, causing her to let out a short yelp of pain, as she quickly let go of her guns,
Looking at the 300 feet drop Hazel knew that there was no way she would be getting that her guns back, she was now unarmed.
Feeling frustrated she raised her feet as she kicked forward, causing the ancient man to jump backwards as he laughed, "your battle awareness is really bad girl, if you had done that from the beginning and followed up with a few shots I might have been injured by now.
But this time a new voice answered, "you sure are arrogant for a thief," looking towards the direction of the voice you could see a man who wore a brown leather jacket with black pants, he stood comfortably on the steel bar as if he had been standing there his whole life, the first thing the ancient man did was to look at his stats.
Name: Wyatt
Race: Human
Class: Spiritual cultivator
Rank: Controller
Level: 10
Manual: Nameless manual
Specialty: None
Skills: Telekinesis
Seeing this Jason's eyes narrowed as he said, "this guy is a spiritual cultivator, be careful," with a smile the ancient man said, "And who might you be?"
Looking towards Wyatt Hazel also thought the same thing, suddenly another voice sounded out, "he's MR. Wyatt," looking towards the direction of that voice you could see a middle aged man with brown hair, he wore the same black uniform as Hazel but by the emblem on his shoulder you could tell that he was at F level 10.
Hazel seemed to know this man as she gave him a small nod,"hey Luke," after which she asked while pointing to the ancient man, "if that's MR. Wyatt then who is he,"
Looking towards the ancient man Luke smiled as a bow appeared in his hands as he said, "I guess we'll find out,"
Seeing everyone target him the Ancient man said while pointing towards Wyatt "why am I suddenly enemy number one, he's the bad guy,"
All his attackers where long range fighters, looking down he could see tiny figures patrolling the surroundings, the Special Forces had arrived,
Looking at the three figures in front of him that silly smile in on the ancient man's face disappeared, as it was replaced by a calm look, since he had not been fighting with full strength against Hazel his genetic energy had recovered reaching 73% of his original reserves.
He had gotten serious as a dagger appeared in his hands he knew the reason why he suddenly became enemy number one, they where after the briefcase in his possession, but he wouldn't give it up so easily,
Hazel bent down slowly removing another pair of guns from her ankles which had been previously concealed by her pants, seeing this Jason felt his eyes twitch as wondered how many guns this girl had.
MR. Wyatt acted first as with a wave of his hand three small throwing knifes that where obviously poisoned shot out of his sleeves towards the Ancient man at speeds of up to 256.4 meters per second.
But the ancient man was not to be underestimated activating {burst} he got a huge boost in speed and with a wave of his hand he deflected all three of the throwing knifes in one smooth motion causing sparks to fly, but the daggers didn't fall back as with a spin they would turn back to attack the ancient man.
"Tang!"
"Tang!"
The Ancient man continuously deflected the throwing knifes, seeing that Wyatt was distracted Luke shot an arrow towards him, but as if having eyes at the side of his head he dodged, the faint sound of wind tearing could be heard as the arrow shot by him "whoosh!"
Having used energy to dodge the arrow Wyatt's attack on the Ancient man slowed down a little, giving him a little breathing room, suddenly he threw the briefcase towards the Wyatt, his action seemed to distract everyone as they momentarily stopped attacking.
Suddenly Wyatt caught the case, seeing this Hazels eyes narrowed as she looked back towards the Ancient man's direction preparing to shoot at him, but he had disappeared, she was not the only one who noticed this,
Suddenly a small grunt could be heard as Wyatt slowly fell down, he had been stabbed from the back by the ancient man, seeing this both Luke and Hazel felt their heart grow cold,
Their real target had just been killed by an unknown man, wasting no time Luke rapidly fired arrows towards the ancient man while hazel fired another round of bullets towards him, their target just became much more dangerous,
But the ancient man was one step ahead, moving before they even started attacking, he weaved through the completed framework of the skyscraper walking on thin metal bars as if they were solid ground, he seemed to have eyes at the back of his head as he dodged bullets and arrows with ease.
But his genetic energy was burning; he had only 60% left,
"Freeze," a loud voice could be heard as it resounded throughout the surroundings, bright lights that illuminated the night sky could be seen even from afar as they circled the building, the sound of the rotating blades of a helicopter could be heard, looking towards the helicopters with huge guns attached to them it was a threatening sight.
"Helicopters," Jason muttered to himself as he said to the ancient man, "can you escape?" but the ancient man didn't give an answer as he slowly raised up his arms, seeing this Jason couldn't believe his eyes, the ancient man was giving up.
"Drop your weapons or any space related items you have on you, MR. Wyatt you are being arrested under the charges of murder, attempted murder, human trafficking, vandalism and kidnapping, you have the right to remain silent, cause nothing you say is goanna save you from the hell hole were taking you to, any attempt to escape and you will be shot or impaled.
Slowly dropping the briefcase and his daggers the ancient man slowly raised his arms back up, seeing that the ancient man had given up, Hazel and Luke slowly moved in his direction, while pointing their weapons towards him,
Hazel in particular felt happy that they were about to capture this crook, he had been getting on her nerves the entire night and even though he wasn't MR. Wyatt she couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he was being tortured and interrogated, in fact she couldn't wait to see the look on his face now,
As they got closer, Hazel focused her vision on the face of the ancient man, she couldn't see it clearly as the bright lights from the helicopters where blocking her view, but now that she had gotten closer she could see it more clearly,
That annoying smirk was still on his face, seeing this Hazels heart dropped as she felt slightly disappointed, she suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
Jason who could vaguely feel what the ancient man was feeling felt his mind grow cold, "don't," he muttered to the ancient man, his voice resounding in the ancient man's mind, feeling the annoying feeling of excitement grow inside him Jason yelled out again, "don't do it,"
Meanwhile the more Hazel looked at that annoying smile the ancient man had on him the more the bad feeling in her heart grew, suddenly she couldn't take it anymore as she yelled out,
"Something isn't right, open fire," at the same time the ancient man jumped backwards dodging the rain of bullets that and arrows that where being fired in his previous location
"Tatatatata!"
The sound of the machine guns attached to the helicopters sounded out but none of them hit their target, but they didn't seem to be worried about that as they stared in shock at Jason's previous location, he had jumped, yes he had jumped of a 300 feet tall building.
Jason felt the wind hitting his face as he was falling down rapidly, he had no skills, no gadgets that could save him and there was no one to help him.
This was the end?
