Chapter 8 - Chapter 4.5

(This guy who in the 13 old hells is he?) The man in the suit disappeared in was right on top of Darren. (Shit he's so fast!) That's when Chen tossed a few small throwing knives at the man and they bounced right off his skin. (What in the...) The man in the suit punched Darren in the face and followed it up with triple spin kick back down to the ground causing a few of Darren's ribs to break and fracture and the impact had him cough up blood. "It's time to tie up loose ends."

Back in the present... "I know I made a mistake Volter but if you really think I'd sit back and let Chen's sacrifice be in vain you're dead wrong. I tracked the 2 mysterious figures from that night right here in this City. If you want justice for Chen's death and if you truly loved her then help me avenge her death." "As tempting as that is Darren. My love for Chen died with her and after you left me when I needed you most I became broken, unloved, and my purpose died that night. That is until they found me and gave me a home and sense of purpose."Who's they?" That's when Darren was pinned to the wall and metal began to creak as glass shards were trained on Darren. "It's time for you to say you're last words old friend. Die!"

As the metal rods and glass shards were sent flying towards Darren he struggled to move himself as the rods and glass was just about to impale him a spear made out of diamonds impaled Volter in the head as the diamond spear began to collapse into a million smaller diamonds the diamonds started merge into the shape of a human and as they full formed they knelt down and picked up a small gold nugget. "Target now shines as bright as gold." The mysterious figure pulled out a pouch from their combat jeans and put the gold nugget in it. "Hey, who are you?" "Dontcha, worry about who I be Just be grateful I be in the area at the right time."

"Thank you, for saving me." "Ya, gotta get betta at telekinetic resistance. Next time handsome you take me on a Crab catching, and boil date." "... Date?" The mysterious figure tossed Darren a diamond. Darren caught it only to look back up to see the mysterious figure gone. "How am I going to get in contact with you?" That's when he looked at the diamond in his hand and it was actually a card. The shimmering numbers was actually a phone number and the person's info it read: 2xx-4xx-8xxx call Diamond-Gold Bounty Hunter for hire. (Diamond-Gold huh?) Darren quickly left to head back to Torian's apartment. (Please be alright! Please!)

Back at Torian's apartment... "Argh!" "Guh!" "Ngh!" Three assailants collapsed to the ground dead with crystals protruding from their bodies. "B-Bravo team where are you?" "Sorry to disappoint ya lad but they're not coming to help. Arlech tossed a dead body of one of Bravo team to Alpha team's squad leader. "Yo-you damn freaks! You shouldn't be alive!" As the Alpha team squad leader scrambled to their feet and tried to run that's when a silk thread wrapped around their neck and was yanked back down to the ground. "Who are you? Who do you work for?" "The Second Reich is true it is justified it stands as a pillar!" "The Second Reich?" "As a stepping stone I was used and my usefulness has passed. Begone you damned Homo-Elites!"

The Second Reich soldier pulled a grenade from their waistband and pulled the pin. "GET DOWN LASSY!" "YU'SARIA!" Torian quickly shielded Yu'Saria as crystals began to cover them in a dome. Arlech quickly surrounded himself, Torian, and Yu'Saria in Volcanic ash as they ended up outside just in the nick of time as the apartment blew up.
