"HELP!!!"
A shrilling scream broke through the alley.
The voice belonged to a lady on her kneels surrounded by masked men.
"Even if you shout all day long,I doubt anyone will help you in this wretched city" one of the masked man said.
"You should have co-operated but now you will have to pay with both your money and your body" The leader of the bandit said caressing her face.
"Finally, an enjoyment" A voice sounded out of the bandit group.
*****
A figure is seen jumping through the rooftops of the village,
"I'm good at this!, so why would father tell me am not ready"
The figure was dressed in a simple workout outfit but all black and wearing a balaclava mask to hide their identity.
"This night is boring!! I thought my fists will be able to see some action but I guess beggars can't be choosers and I have be back home before dad notices am out"
*sighs*
As the figure was returning back.They heard a very sharp scream not far from their position
"Man! My luck finally break out"
The figure headed towards the scream, upon getting there they saw a lady being pinned to the wall and the situation was not looking good at all.
"This bandit are becoming reckless this days"The figure muttered under their breath
"I have to stop them or am not taking this image outta my head"
"Hey! Big guys I wouldn't do that if I were you"The figure told the bandits.
Upon seeing that they are not alone the bandit were all alert,
"Who's there?!"The leader said while buckling his belt "You just interrupted my fun" He said while fuming.
"I ask again!! Who is there?!!"
"Fine!fine!! You want to know who I am?..I am…"The figure lept off the roof and flipped mid air as if defying gravity for a moment then landed hard on the asphalt with one knee up and the other on the ground, mini crater already appearing under the figure!.
"Hpghm! As cool as this pose is it does put a lot pressure on the knee! Man….I'm feeling that tomorrow"
"Are you gonna squat there or want me to lift you up" one of the bandit said mockingly
"Gimme a sec! Trying not to cry out in pain here" The figure said,not hiding the pain underneath the tone.
"I have had enough of this joke! Mark….go check him out" The leader commanded.
The guy called mark walk confidently with a pistol in hand towards the still kneeling figure,
"Bro you should have just stayed in your kindergarten" Mark said while cocking the pistol.
Suddenly, like a lightning,A hand shot out and the air screamed and Mark head was seen rolling off his shoulders.
The figure stood up while brandishing his sword,
"Man, I'm going to get a ear full if dad finds out" The figure said like this was just a natural occurrence,
"Where did he get that sword he was unarmed seconds ago!!" One of the bandit shouted in fear
"We are not letting our hunt go like that!! Boys!! Attack!!" The leader shouted .
POW! POW!!
The bandits started shooting the figure with enraged expressions.
Like a cat, The figure expertly dodged the bullet while guarding the woman at the same time
"I don't need this" The figure sheathed his sword,
In an instant, he gave almost all of the bandit chop palm at their neck and as a result they all fell like a puppet whose strings has been cut off
The leader seeing his goons falling, he backed off and started running but when he turned the corner he saw the figure in from of him
"Gah!! Please spare me I will give you anything!"
"Anything?" The figure asked
"Yes anything!. In fact take" The leader gave him the 10 bucks he had with him"This is my share of today's raid"
"Oh thanks. You can go" The figure said after collecting the money but before the leader can run too far, he also received a chop palm to the neck
"Hehe. Nothing says I can't make money on patrol. Or is there?" The figure asked the woman on the floor
BOOOM!!!!!
Just before he could savor his smooth cash, an energy beam shot towards him
'Fuck!' His brain worked in milliseconds
'I can't dodge it, even if I could; I will be endangering the lady behind me, I need something that can protect both of us'
I only have one option!
This all went on in his brain in seconds
The figure went through series of hand signs in the blink of an eye and slammed his palm on the concrete
Earth style:Earthen dome!!!
Energy surged into the earth and in a dome like appearance the earth covered both the figure and the lady protecting them against the energy beam
Barely!
Visible to the eye, the dome is seen losing its shape
Sizzle!....
"C'mon!!" The figure kept on injecting energy to keep the dome from falling
Just as the dome was falling apart and it seems the corroding energy is going to hit the figure defenseless body.
Another figure appeared in front of them!!
Earth style:Omega shield!!
It was then they were safe from the beam
With a very cold expression, The older figure turned slightly to the figure panting heavily on the ground
"You have so much to explain...…..Son!"
