So Stitch sent me and Rev on our way to the church. After he kicked our ass in the last training session.
" How do you feel about Stitch?" Rev asks.
I think on it for a minute then I say. " I hate him. I despise him in every way.I genuinely want to kill him."
Rev laughs at my response and says. " Yeah I understand why you would feel like that. I think I like him he has made us strong and will make us even stronger."
" You're right" I say. Without Stitch me and Rev could be with the Pope. Stitch never told us exactly what the Pope does he wants us to find out for ourselves.
As we approach the church I tell Rev to go do some recon. As he brought his sniper rifle and 2 pistols. I only brought my daggers.
It is about to be night fall so I move with the shadows and successfully sneak into the church. The inside looks like a normal church. So I started checking rooms. The closer I get to the lower floors the stronger the smell of blood gets.
I'm at the last door and it is locked. Stitch had taught me lock picking skills before I left.
As I walk down the stairs that seem never ending I start hearing screams " Help me please. Please someone I don't want to be next." I hear children scream.
As I start seeing the children I see the horrors Stitch wanted me to see for myself. There are kids with missing limbs or ones who are bandaged and bleeding out.
Some with missing organs or other who look like they've been violated. I even recognize some of them from the orphanage. They don't recognize me they can't. I have all black clothes on made for stealth with a mask and hood on.
All they can see is my eyes. I can see the tears flow down their eyes as signs of hope glimmer from their eyes. I'm not here to save them though.
My only job is to kill the Pope and then leave. So that is what i'm going to do.
I radio to Rev " are you in a good position?"
Rev responds. " I am I'm just waiting for you to get the Pope out in the open". I walk away from the cages the children are in and start heading towards the Pope.
He has a couple guards down here. The shadows make it easier for me to take them down so I keep moving.
I find the Pope in an office like structure. As I try to slice his throat he stops my blade and says.
" I've run this operation for years you aren't the first to try to kill me and you won't be the last".
I don't give him a response I go back on the attack but fire starts building up from his hands and he throws it at me.
I get sent flying all the way through the entire church. I hear Rev through the radio " What the hell just happened?"
" The Pope is able to use mana and he makes fire with it get ready for battle". I respond back.
I get up I think he broke 2 of my ribs. The bones probably pierced my lungs since it is getting harder to breathe and blood is coming from my mouth.
The pope jumps from out the rubble of the church. He starts shooting fireballs at rapid speed. I dodge them and try to close in. However, he keeps me at bay because of the heat.
He starts laughing maniacally and starts yelling " I wonder how much you would sell for". I throw two knives at the pope with one of them masked in the shadow of the other and they land in his knee.
It barely stops him but, it shows that he isn't very good at stopping projectiles. I speed up and start dodging the fireballs to get in close.
Now that I've brought him to hand to hand combat I can tell he is inexperienced. The guards must've protected him and with his fire abilities it would make sense he hasn't gotten killed.
I land a 3 stage combo strike that i've been practicing. A hit to the Solar plexus, the throat, and then the chin. I should name it. However in synchronization with my attack. Rev takes his shot and hits right in the head. I've never seen an exploded head before it isn't pretty.
" Rev you got his blood on me" I say.
Rev responds " My fault but it's time to go back the sun is gonna rise soon."
" Yeah you're right I'm on my way" I respond back.
My ribs still hurt bad hopefully Stitch heals me and teaches me how to use mana. It really isn't fair for them to have super powers and I don't.
On the way back Rev says " I'm surprised you saved those kids I expected you to just leave them"
I respond back " I didn't save them I just broke the locks on their cells. If they got out then they saved themselves."
Rev smiles at me then keeps walking forward in the sunlight. while I stay in the darkness of the shade as much as possible.
As I see Rev walking forward I see a tiger appear out of nowhere. I didn't even see it coming or notice it.
Rev is off guard I can tell the tiger is filled with mana. Rev doesn't have enough time to protect himself.
I yell out " Rev watch out to your side." However it is too late the tigers massive claws are already reaching his neck.
Then as if something takes over my vision. I feel a burst of energy come out my eyes. I see numbers and math signs everywhere.
I start feeling blood come out of my eyes and my vision starts getting blurry. I fall down as if all my stamina was stripped from me.
I hear Stitch's voice but I can't see him I can't see anything. I can't see anything or hear anything. There isn't anything but darkness around me.
However, it's like I can feel things moving around me. I don't know who or what they are but I can definitely feel them and they can feel me.
