Chapter 9 - Beginning of War

-Jacobs Apartment-

Jacob was in his apartment, sitting on the couch, looking at the ground, and thinking over and over again how to make his plan work. He was sitting there for almost an hour, waiting and thinking, ´Will it work? Can I pull it off?´ Then Hiro and her bodyguard came to his apartment, and Jacob warmly greeted both of them and showed them where to sit, of course, her bodyguard didn't sit he stood next to Hiro. "Nice jacket, Jacob." Hiro said as she was sitting down, Jacob looked at his jacket and said, "Thank you, I bought it with money I saved up." ´Like I care.´ That were Hiros thoughts, she really didnt cared about it or anything about Jacob, she saw him like something that can made money. As always, she pulled out her tablet, "So Jacob, this is going to be your next opponent." She said and gave tablet to Jacob, he looked it then put it on table, "When?" He asked, and Hiro took the tablet and replied, "Three days."

Jacob stood up and said, "Im going to get a glass of water, do you also want one?" Jacob asked, Hiro nood her head. Jacob went get some water, but soon as he walked pass bodyguard he stoped, he though ´Now or never.´ His mind was replaying the same moment, the moment he saw his close friends dead. Bodyguard noticed Jacob standing behind him, Jacob turned around so he could be face to him. When the bodyguard saw his eyes, he knew something was wrong. Hiro also turned to see what was happening and saw Jacob and her bodyguard standing in front of each other, Hiro also noticed his eyes. His eyes, they looked like of someone who can do anything absolutely anything. "Jacob..?" Hiro spoke with a pretty normal voice, but she felt anxious about Jacob.

As soon as she said his name, he pulled a gun from his jacket, both Hiro and her bodyguard were surprised. "Jacob? What are you doing? Lower your gun there is no reason for aiming at him." Hiro said again with a clear voice, but her distress was only growing. "No reason, you say? No fucking reason? I know everything, who you are, what you do." Jacob said, Hiro just sit there with her mouth open and completely speechless, "And I don't know a lot of things that I want to know." Jacob continued speaking, "And you will help me, find these answers for things I don't know." Jacob finished his speech, and this was Hiros's first time feeling pressure from someone other expect her father. Jacob pulled the triger trying to kill the bodyguard, but he dodges the bullet that only scratched his his ear, and in matter of seconds, Hiros bodyguard, disarms Jacob and his gun falls to ground, Jacob tries to defent his self but bodyguard is too fast and close distance betwen them, and with his electrical knuckles he actived as his fist was reaching Jacob he punched Jacob to Solar plexus, and releasing electric discharge to Jacobs body.

The pain makes Jacobs scream out loud and making him fall to his knees, and the wound he had from Sandra starts to bleed heavily. Hiro was looking at Jacob, who was on his knees and showed no signs of movement. "Kare wa shinde imasu ka?"(Is he dead?)Hiro asked as she was standing up from the couch, "Tabun, yoku wakarimasen."(Maybe, I'm not sure.)Her bodyguard said and continued to speak, "Shikashi, watashi wa kare ga shinde iru koto o kakunin dekimasu."(But I can make sure that he is dead.)The bodyguard who finished his sentence approached Jacob to finish him up. He took gun that Jacob got from Dyson, he aim it at Jacob, as he was loading gun Jacob grab his hand and rise it make him to shoot to roof, Jacob was standing holding bodyguards arm upwards, bodyguard couldnt move his hand Jacob's strength was on a different level.

"I didnt accomplish purpose. I can't die yet. I WILL NOT DIE UNTIL I ACHIEVE MY GOAL!" Jacob yelled that last sentence to bodyguard face, he and Hiro were both shocked Hiro took step back. Jacob gather all his strength and broke bodyguards arm, then with his full he punched bodyguard face and send him flying across whole apartment, his face was absolutely ruined and he was lying on ground Jacob went to him, he could barely walk, but he got to him, and was standing above him, Jacob kneel, rised his left hand, charge his gorila arm and smash his head to small pieces also cracking the flor. Jacob was covered with blood, and pieces of brain were scattered around whole apartment. As Hiro saw it, she almost puked, she saw that Jacob was walking towards her, she started sweating, Jacob, on his way to Hiro, picked up a Dyson gun. When he came to Hiro he said, "Sit." as he was saying that he pointed gun on her and then on couch, she sat down and Jacob sat on table that was in front of couch so he that he can be close to Hiro.

Jacob, who was covered in blood and badly hurt, said, "It's kill or be killed. You know I'm not the villain here, I do what I must do, because you and your father didn't left me any other option. I'm a man who lost everything because of you."

Jacob changed, moment that Dyson told him everything he felt something, he felt desire for revenge more then ever, he wanted to kill that bastards who killed his friends and ruin his life. His psyche was worsing everyday slowly turning him to psychopath and Hiro knew that too, she just need it one look on his eyes and she knew thats why she was so scared of him. "I want two things from you." Jacob said, and Hiro gulped and asked, "What kind of things?" "I want your eddies, everything you have." Jacob said, and without a word, Hiro transferred everything she had to Jacob. The amount she sent him was around three hundred thousand eddies, and when Jacob got all the money, he said, "Second thing is informations, everything you know, names, locations, their movements, simply everything you know." After saying that, she turned pale, but she really didn't have any other opinion, in believe she would live if she tells him everything she told him everything of course Jacob recorded everything she said. After she said everything, Jacob stood up and said, "Go." Hiro didn't had to think twice she stood up and went to doors, she almost was there but the she was shoot to the left knee making her falling to the ground and she screamed in pain.

Jacob approached her, pointed gun on her, "No, please dont kill me, PLEASE I BEG YOU I WILL DO ANYTHING!" Hiro yelled from her whole lungs, Jacob ignored what she said and shoot her other leg, making her completely immobile. She again screamed in pain. Hiro was now lying on the ground, bleeding out she looked at Jacob with an angry look and said, "Why are you doing this to me? WHY JACOB?!" Jacob hid the gun in his jacket. He bent down to Hiro and said, "You maybe didn't do anything. But, you are one of them and I swore to myself that I will kill everyone of you, and I will no matter what." Then Jacob stood and took out an F-GX Frag Grenade. "What are you going to do with that?" Hiro nervously asked, she had tears in her eyes and realized that this was her end. Jacob walked over her, and Hiro closed her eyes and started to cry.

Right before Jacob walked through door he said, "This is end of prologue. "It's time for war." Then he threw grenade behind him whole apartment exploded killing Hiro. Jacob quickly fled from the area. He was still heavily injured and called Dyson, "What's up, Jacob how is your thing going on?" Dyson asked, "It's fucking done, I have eddies, so arrange that meeting with her. But first I need you help*cough*Im pretty fuck up." Jacob hardly finished his sentence, "Where are you?!" Dyson yelled, and Jacob replied, "In front of Megabuilding, sitting on a bench." "Alright, I'm coming, Just hold on." Dyson said. After a half hour, he came took Jacob and treated him.
