He felt the wind hitting his face looking around; he seemed to feel the world around him getting slower as his life flashed before his eye's, the annoying feeling of excitement was ever present running through every atom of his very being drowning the feeling of fear he had in him.
He remembered the time he got the red crystal; the opportunities which presented themselves before him he felt grateful, but thinking of how heartbroken his family would be he felt a small pang of regret; for some reason his mind flashed back to the egg,
He was still curious to find out what would hatch out of it, was it going to be a cat with wings he thought to himself with a chuckle.
He didn't want to die, he had a lot unfinished business; but what could he do, being unyielding wouldn't save him, ''why is this fall taking so long," he thought to himself random thought seemed to keep popping up in his mind.
Suddenly, his train of thoughts was interrupted by a deep voice, that seemed to pierce through his very soul the voice sounded serious and deadly; vastly different from the usually playful tone, that voice which was filled with authority seemed to remind Jason that someone truly powerful resided in his body.
"hey kid, stop thinking about random stuff, I'm trying to concentrate."
Hearing this Jason felt his heart skip a beat as a feeling of hope bloomed in his heart; his illusion seemed to crack as he came back to reality, grabbing onto the small ray of hope that presented itself Jason concentrated his thoughts.
He suddenly felt his mind clear up as he thought in sync with the ancient man connecting his thoughts, with his, he felt a sea of information constantly flashing trough his mind, skills that he had never heard of random calculations and battle strategies.
He thought in awe "is my brain really capable of doing this much," he could understand why the ancient man told him to concentrate, doing this much with a weak mind like his was already amazing,
But Jason still felt discouraged out of all the skills running through his mind, there was none he could make use of, he was too weak.
He didn't know exactly what the ancient man was looking for, but he somehow felt that everything was going to be ok; the world slowed down again but this time his life wasn't flashing before his eyes, his brain was just thinking too rapidly.
Half way down the building, they were seconds away from hitting the ground with a splat!
Suddenly the ancient man finally muttered something, I remember the skill; the world sped up again but this time Jason's body wasn't falling randomly; his body seemed to straighten as his feet seemed to be attached to the steel bars at the side of the building.
The moment his toes touched the side of the building Jason felt as if he was walking on solid ground,
Gravity had shifted and seemed to be moving according to his will; suddenly the sound of an emotionless female voice sounded out, stunning Jason,
[New skill created, wall running.]
Hearing this Jason felt like crying in joy, he wasn't going to die, well he was safe for now but the agents of the Special forces on the ground where another problem.
The ancient man didn't seem to be bothered about that though, he let Jason celebrate; as he thought to himself;
"Thank goodness I remembered this skill," saying this he ran down the building, lowering his stance with his arms behind his back his feet's making small tapping sounds with each step making the agents of the Special forces gasp in shock.
"Why are you running that way, Jason asked as he felt a bit confused, the ancient man could have just continued running normally; hearing this the ancient man chuckled and replied, "it's more efficient and besides it looks cool." Hearing this Jason felt his eyes twitch, where did the serious and reliable man go?
Meanwhile hazel and the rest of the special force agents both on top of the roof and below stared at Jason in shock.
Running down a building like that was way too cool; it may had been an astonishing sight but the cost of such a stunt was high , they were near the base of the building but their genetic energy was already down to 17%.
But the Special Forces were still the Special Forces; they were elites, some of them were even qualified to venture outside the domes.
Aiming their guns and weapons towards Jason, they prepared to fire the moment their target hit the ground, but the ancient man expected this as he increased his speed as if he was feeling impatient; seeing this, the special force agent's braced themselves.
The next moment the ancient man landed on the ground, with a thud of as dust rose into the air slightly obstructing the view of the Special Forces agents
The moment his feet hit the ground, the Ancient man activated burst running to the right side of the building, while activating shadow movement, his figure disappearing into the darkness, he moved too fast not giving the agent's time to react.
But the agents of the Special Forces wouldn't give up, as they shot blindly towards the direction the ancient man ran to, more dust rose as it completely covered the surrounding, the gunshots didn't seem to affect the building as sparks flew anytime a bullet hit the metal bars at the side of the building.
The dust eventually cleared up but they was still no sign of the ancient man, by now Hazel and Luke had already climbed down the building as they looked at each other with serious looks on their faces, their target had escaped, how he did it was unknown.
Remembering the annoying smirk on the Ancients man's face Hazel stumped her feet on the ground, out of anger she threw the case in her hands towards an agent who seemed to be trembling a little, clearly he was shaken up by the fight of just now as a stray bullet seemed to have hit his arm.
Blood seeped out of his arm as it trembled, noticing this Hazel looked towards his chest which had his name written on it, as she said,
"Agent Finn is it, your injured, take the week off after today to get yourself healed," bear with it for now, and well get your injuries treated at the base,
With a nod the agent followed behind Hazel, seeing hazel walk away Luke spoke into his shirt, "sweep the city, he couldn't have gone far,
Hearing this the remaining agents who were still fine spread out, while they searched the construction site, the helicopters also flew in different directions, their bright light's searching the different parts of the city,
Meanwhile Hazel and the injured agent walked towards a group of trucks, some Special Forces agents holding fancy guns could be seen standing at the front guarding the trucks.
"Ring, Ring," the sound of a phone could be heard, stopping to pick up her call Hazel said in a calm tone, "take the case to the back," hearing this the injured agent replied with a nod, as he took the case to the back of the trucks showing his ID to the agents at the back they let him pass.
"Hey dad," Hazel said in a hushed and gentle tone, but her call was interrupted, suddenly she spotted something, a few Special Forces agents where running towards her from afar, they held a man who was unconscious and seemed to be in his underwear,
"What happened," she asked in confusion, Luke who was in front asked hurriedly, "Hazel, where's the case," hearing this Hazel felt her heart skip a beat as she replied, "I gave it to agent Finn, he took it to the back of the truck,"
Hearing this Luke hurriedly said, while pointing to the unconscious man "this is Mr. Luke, special force agent age 22, he's supposed to be the agent who accompanied you,"
Hearing this Hazel said with a frown, "then if he's Finn who accompanied—"she didn't even finish her sentence as everything seemed to click, she hurriedly ran towards the back of the truck with Luke following behind,
Upon reaching the back of the truck you could see the special agent's uniform and some gear and body armor littered on the floor, someone had hurriedly taken theses off,
The agents who were supposed to be standing guard at the back of the trucks laid unmoving on the floor, whether they were dead or alive was unknown,
Opening the truck the case was nowhere to be found, the truck was empty, there was only one thing on the floor, and that was a note, it read,
[I had fun tonight "smiley face"]
With rage evident on her face Hazel punched into the side of the truck, her fist print engraved on it as she shouted "I will find you, "her voice echoed throughout the silent streets of the seventh city, stunning the cats and dogs as they barked and hissed in panic.
Meanwhile faraway, a figure let out a small chuckle as he heard that the shout seemed to amuse him as he casually walked away while humming to a tune, the night seemed especially long as the moonlight shone on his handsome face.
