Chapter 19 - White Swan II

Emily entered the bar wearing a mask, Emily's mask is a work of art, a Halloween mask carefully crafted to conceal one's true identity while exuding an air of intrigue and mystery. Made from smooth, porcelain-white material, it molds to the contours of her face with precision, disguising every feature beneath its delicate surface. The mask is adorned with intricate designs and patterns, etched in silver and gold, which shimmer and catch the light as she moves... @ 100 credits only.

The upper half of the mask focuses on accentuating Emily's eyes. Two oval-shaped eyeholes provide a glimpse into her piercing gaze. They are lined with thin, black lashes that give the illusion of beautifully elongated eyes. Within the eyeholes, there are delicate swirls and curls, further enhancing the mask's elegance.

Below the eyes, the mask transitions into a narrower shape that gracefully frames her nose and lips. A small, upturned tip gives a subtle hint of coyness and playfulness. Intricate patterns cascade down from the bridge of the nose, forming a mesmerizing design reminiscent of delicate lacework.

The edges of the mask are adorned with feathers and jewels, adding a touch of opulence and extravagance. Feathers of varying lengths, dyed in rich hues of teal and navy blue, extend upwards and outwards, following the contours of her face. Embedded among the feathers are small, sparkling gems, catching the light and creating an ethereal glow around her visage.

The mask itself is secured in place by a silk ribbon, tied elegantly at the back of her head. The ribbon matches the jewel tones of the feathers, providing a cohesive and visually striking ensemble.

Her senses are immediately assaulted by the smell of blood and the sight of broken glasses, shattered windshields, and overturned furniture. People on the floor in pain, some beaten to a bloody mess. The harrowing sound of crying teenage girls being taken away by gang members in an adjacent room which only brought back past memories and made her even more angry.

That's when she spots the gang leader, seated on a raised platform, seemingly unperturbed by the chaos surrounding him. 

The gang leader Ginger Mahalo. Tall and lean, he exudes an intimidating presence that commands respect from his subordinates. His cold, calculating eyes seem to pierce through anyone who meets his gaze, revealing a shrewd mind behind his hardened exterior.

Dressed in a tailored black suit that fits him impeccably, the gang leader displays an affinity for style even in the midst of chaos. The suit, adorned with white swan and intricate patterns, lends an air of sophistication to his overall appearance. He wears a silk tie, perfectly knotted, exhibiting attention to detail that matches his meticulous nature.

His hair, dark ginger and slicked back, further accentuates his sharp features. It is meticulously styled, giving off an aura of control and discipline. Despite his rough demeanor, there is a certain polish to his overall look, hinting at a background that transcends his current gang affiliation.

As Emily stands surrounded by the ten gang members, the gang leader remains seated on the platform, his eyes fixed on her. He speaks with a commanding tone, addressing his gang member Joe.

"Joe, take care of our unexpected guest. Show her we don't tolerate intruders."

Joe, wearing a smug smirk, stepped forward confidently.

"Consider it done, boss. This Halloween princess won't give us any trouble."

However, before Joe could even complete his sentence, Emily swiftly grabs him by the neck, her strength enhanced by her state. The room falls silent as Joe's life is quickly extinguished.

" Everyone leave ". Emily snarled.

The gang leader was momentarily taken aback, but soon regains his composure. " Okay everyone leave "

The people in the bar waited for the first person to leave and soon it was a stampede, everyone man for himself as they flood through the door into the street. Willy taken this chance was able to slip into the bar.

 "Impressive, but don't think you'll walk away unscathed."Ginger Mahalo snarled.

"All of you! Draw your plasma swords and attack! We outnumber her, and we will overpower her!"

The gang members unsheathed their weapons, the blades burning with energy, ready to strike.

The ten gang members with their plasma sword attacked Emily at the same time from different angles with insane coordination. They surrounded her and brought their weapons down on her with full force.

Emily caught the closest attack with her open hand. The gang members smile were evident_ who will be so stupid and touch a charged plasma sword.

[ -43 HP ]

The plasma sword digged into her hand, and for a moment, it seemed that Emily might be in trouble. However, with lightning speed, she took the sword out of her hand and stabbed the man through the side of his head. His skull offered little resistance to the plasma blade, and the blade went through to the other side of his head like a hot knife through butter.

The other gang members were shocked by Emily's display of power, but they did not back down. They continue to attack her, but they couldn't land a single hit. Emily was too fast darting in between them with her superhuman speed and relentless. She used the plasma sword to cut through her opponents with ease, slicing through their armor and flesh like it was paper. In a matter of moments, she had taken down all the gang members, leaving only the gang leader standing.

As Emily stood over the gang leader, holding the plasma sword in her hand, coated in blood and her glowing red eyes she looked just like an angel of death. there was a moment of tense silence. Both Emily and the gang leader stared at each other, weighing their options.

The gang leader, who had been confident just moments ago, now looked terrified. His face pale, and he was shaking uncontrollably. His eyes darted back and forth, trying to find an escape route, but he knew deep down that Emily had him cornered.

Despite his fear, the gang leader tried to put on a brave face. He tried to stare Emily down, trying to intimidate her with his gaze. However, his expression quickly crumbled, and he looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

Emily could see the fear in his eyes, she smiled." Don't worry your death will be as slow and painful.

The gang leader's expression was a mixture of fear and desperation.His bravado quickly faded and he looked like a completely different person from the cocky gang leader at the beginning of the battle.

" Who is Isashi?. Emily asked.

Of course everyone in the White swan gang knows Alartin as the second vice Leader of the white swan but they will never snitch part of their corrupt honor.

Ginger MahaIo tried to put up a brave face."I don't know"

" Wrong answer ".

Emily darted towards Ginger Mahalo and in a blink she caught off his right hand and just as promised she carefully dissected him. his screams should be able to make any human blood curl but Emily had a huge smile on her face, her mask had fallen off her face and willy was watching behind a counter where he observed the whole scene so he couldn't hear the conversations but he could see her smile. he wanted to convince himself that it was her monster side doing all that gruesome act but he couldn't looking at that smile he realized_ that was the brightest smile he had ever seen on Emily's face.
