"This is Amanda from News 8. We are broadcasting live from Castle Blade"
A redhead woman in a long, cream-colored coat hollering at the cameraman. Behind her was a majestic castle that looked medieval. The castle was surrounded by hundreds of vehicles that blinked red and blue.
The darkness of the night was replaced by the light of helicopters flying around the castle. Black-armored soldiers wearing bulletproof vests were taking position around the castle. They all had rifles and heavy snipers aimed at the castle.
"The soldiers of Blade have already handed over their weapons and surrendered to the united nations. The united soldiers are just a few hours away from breaching the castle walls" The woman's hair fluttered in front of her face because of the helicopters flying above her. The surrounding area of the caste was in chaos. Countless army vehicles such as tanks, swat vans, and armored cars were constantly approaching the castle—the sound of sirens coupled with jets and helicopters flying around reverberated through the area.
As she was hollering at the camera, she suddenly placed her hand on her ears. She spoke in an inaudible voice before turning her gaze back at the camera.
"This is big!" Amanda shouted, almost looking as though she was excited by the news that she just heard through her earpiece,
"I have a reliable piece of news from one of the maids who escaped the castle a few hours ago that Dictator Hunter Blade is hiding somewhere in the east wing of the castle"
Boom!
Suddenly one of the helicopters hovering over the castle got blasted off from the sky.
"AH!" Amanda squealed in shock. She quickly covered her head instinctually while running behind a white van for cover. The other news reporters also ran chaotically, searching for shelter. The charred pieces of the helicopter came thrashing a few swat vans. The explosion and crash site took several soldiers' and news reporters' lives.
"I don't hide bitch" Suddenly, a calm gravelly voice echoed through the area. Immediately all cameras and spotlights in the region fell on the castle balcony. A figure emerged from the dark interior of the castle to step into the spotlight.
"Dictator Hunter Blade!"
"Focus on him!"
"Don't take the camera away from him!"
"Hunter Blade, we advise you to drop your arms and surrender!"
The news reporters and the army surrounding the castle went nuts when they saw the youngster on the balcony. Although he was taller than an average man, standing 6 feet and 4inch tall, he was extremely handsome.
Unlike many soldiers were expecting, he didn't wear any body armor but stood on the balcony showing his perfectly chiseled upper body. He was smoking a Cuban cigar while holding an RPG in his other hand. He rested the RPG on his shoulder and smiled at the United Nations army in front of him. There was no fear in his eyes, not a single bit. There were smudges of blood on his face and chest, but the blood didn't seem to be his.
"That's him viewers, the most ruthless dictator this world has ever seen. killed millions of people when he dropped nuclear bombs on three united nation countries"
"The youngest yet most ruthless dictator of our age, Hunter Blade"
The news reports were going crazy at the sight of Hunter. Just a sight of him sent a chill running through their spines. No one remained without feeling a sliver of fear in their hearts. As they said, Hunter was the most ruthless dictator earth has ever seen. Yet, he held the mantle of youngster dictator when he sat on the throne of Country Blade at the age of 6.
"Oh my god, look there! He's holding a dog hostage!"
"How cruel!"
As he was smoking the cigar calmly, they saw a German shepherd running to him with what seemed like a chopped hand in its mouth.
Hunter looked at Dogzilla, grinning.
"Boy did you hear these fools? They think I hold you hostage, hahaha" Hunter burst into laughter regardless of the countless red dots on his body. He was not a bit scared of the snipers taking aim at his head.
"Bow bow!" Dogzilla barked at the people beneath him. Even after he blew a helicopter off the sky, some daredevil pilots lept hovering around him to take live footage.
Through the footage they got, the people sitting on their couches watching the start of world-ending saw the german shepherd wearing sunglasses on its head and the gold chain around its neck. The dog was swag.
"Any moment from now on the United Nations would capture Dictator Hunter alive or dead," Amanda reported hiding behind the white van.
"If you clowns had enough amusement, come at me at once. I am gonna take all you fuckers with me" Hunter dropped the RPG, turned around, and left the balcony. Dogzilla barked at the army several times before following Hunter into the castle.
The people watching the news on their TVs were confused why the soldiers didn't take him out when they had the chance. How could they? Hunter Blade had nuclear weapons. The presidents of the United Nations were afraid of the unknown.
Countless dead bodies were lying on either side of the corridor. They wore armor and body vest with no symbol. They were private military sent into his castle through the underground to assassinate him. However, Hunter hunted them down with clever traps and turrets. Their bodies were riddled with bullet holes thanks to the turrets.
"Bow bow!" Dogzilla barked as Hunter took out his golden revolver from his back and fired at the bodies that looked to be moving.
Bang!
Bang!
Hunter blew off the smoke coming from the tip of the revolver. After walking through the corridors filled with bodies, he came before a door made of nothing but pure gold. He placed his palm on the door as several holographic symbols appeared on the door.
"Hunter Sterling Blade, 23rd ruler of Kingdom Blade"
The voice recognition device built inside the door scanned his voice. A few seconds later, the door slowly opened to reveal a lavish room. Dogzilla excitedly ran into the room before jumping onto the queen-sized bed. The bed's frame was made of gold as any dictator's bed should be. The bed and door and everything in the room was made of gold. His table was gold, and he painted his walls with gold. Actually, his bathroom also was made of gold. Even the bone Dogzilla was trying to chew was made of pure gold. There were no windows in the room because of security reasons. The only way to get into the room was through the front door. The room was made to withstand even nuclear bombing.
Other than the bed, table, and paintings of himself hanging on the wall, there was another door on the wall beside the bed. That door was not as big as the front door though. Hunter walked towards the door while smoking the Cigar. Dogzilla wagged its tail expecting him to play fetch since the dog failed to grasp what was happening. The entire world hated Hunter except for Dogzilla. It was the only living being that loved him unconditionally.
"Be patient boy. We will play fetch when we reach hell. I'm pretty sure Satan has a special place for me" He chuckled. He could hear the sound of tanks rolling get louder by the second. He knew it was only a matter of time before the soldiers of the United Nations stormed the castle to take him alive or dead.
Instead of fearing for his life, he whistled the tune of 'carry on wayward son' while opening the door. The door opened to reveal a mini armory in the wall. There were all kinds of weapons, including M134 Minigun, Heckler and Koch HK416, AS50 Sniper Rifle, F2000 Assault Rifle, MG3 Machine Gun, and several hand grenades and c4 explosives.
Of course, all of them were gold-plated. After all, he was the richest man in the world if they counted his black money. Anything less than gold would be a shame to his reputation.
"MG3 my darling" he lifted the heavy machine gun from the armory with a wide grin. His biceps flexed out when he lifted the gun. It was extremely heavy yet he made lifting it look easy.
He didn't bother closing the armor. Instead, he put the gun on his shoulder, and turned his gaze towards his chair. Seeing him walking towards the chair, Godzilla dropped the ball in its mouth to run towards him. Then He leaped onto the table before sitting in front of Hunter.
Hunter placed his palm on the center of the table. Soon, the table slid open in the middle as an orb emerged from under the table. The white sphere slowly began to glow before a holographic television appeared above the sphere.
There was a figure in a tuxedo sitting behind the table who seemed to be hosting a show. He had a cropped haircut like a policeman as well as a smile that would attract the views watching the show.
"This is Larry signing off…oh wait a minute, is that?" the man's smile quickly turned into a frown. The light of happiness was entirely drained by the sudden appearance of the world's deadliest man; Hunter Blade.
"How do you do Mr.Gibson?"
"Supreme Leader Hunter" Gibson almost sounded cold despite the fake smile on his face,
"Supreme Leader? hahaha," Hunter laughed out loud,
"Last couple of weeks, the entire world has been calling me Dictator, psycho, war criminal, and my favorite, Devil incarnate." Hunter put the machine gun on the table and took a long whiff of the Cuban cigar in his mouth.
"That is no surprise Supreme Leader because you dropped nuclear bombs on four united nation countries and removed Vetros off the world map. All within two weeks. You've killed millions of people" Larry said to the holographic figure of Hunter. All the cameras in the studio were focused on Hunter,
"I warned the late president of Vetros that don't try to invade my country under any circumstances. He didn't listen, he thought because he had more military power and Blade is not in the United Nations, he could come to my country and invade it. He was fucking wrong" He threw the cigar away,
"When he was attacking one of my cities, you fuckers stood and watched like nothing was happening. The one thing you did was issue condemning statements. I don't do statements, so I nuked his ass along with all Vetros" Hunter paused for a moment to ruffle Dogzilla's head,
"He attacked me, and the United Nations issued condemning statements. I attacked him, they sent all of their armies. Doesn't that raise any red flags?"
"You used a nuclear weapon, Hunter. The scientists can't even tell what the effects of the aftermath are. They should fucking put you to the ground Hunter!" Suddenly Larry completely lost his composure. He banged the table, shouting at Hunter. However, Hunter just laughed yet again. He seemed amused by Larry's outburst,
"Put me down? Hahaha" His murderous laughter sent a chill running through everyone's spine who were looking at the show. Almost the entire world was watching the show including the presidents,
"Since united nations poked their noses into my country, decimated everything we Blades built and now trying to take me out, I am Hunter Fucking Blade"
At this moment, the United Nations army rushed into the castle from all entrances.
"Here's news for all those assholes watching me. I have sixty nukes aimed right at your doorsteps from space. Don't bother trying to stop them. They are untraceable and undetectable, one of the best works of my scientists."
Hunter banged the table as Larry stared at him with a pale face. Soon, a red button emerged from the table into his hands,
"One push and all of you will enter the glorious age of nuclear winter"
Finally, Hunter heard the footsteps of the soldiers getting closer and closer to him. He picked up the button in one hand and the gun in the other.
"BOW! BOW!" Dogzilla barked at Hunter as though he had sensed everything was coming to an end. The dog literally cried, for the first time, Hunter's eyes watered up,
"All dogs go to heaven boy, don't worry. I will look at you from hell"
"DON'T DO IT HUNTER!" Larry cried from the studio. Not only him, but the entire world also shouted in unison.
"HUNTER!"
"HE GOT A WEAPON!"
"SHOOT HIM DOWN!"
The black-armored soldiers of the united nations cried out loud,
"Say hello to my little friend!"
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Hundreds of bullets were flying across the room, creating thunderous noise. Hunter felt stinging pain all over his body. He knew he was going to die soon. Still, he smiled. He greeted death with a smile. Before the darkness of death could envelop him, he pressed the red button.
[System has found a suitable host!]
[System Activating…]
[Badass System online…]
[Initiating the transmigration process…]
During the last seconds of his life, he heard a voice similar to Venom sounding inside his head. Then, everything became black.
