On their way to Mexico, Masha had an idea so they could get to their destination faster.
"Sir, we might get there late, Nefario would've left the vicinity before we arrive." Masha said taking off her lab coat.
"Yeah you might be right Masha. Will you be able to modify the jet mid air?" Li asked as he sat on the pilot seat.
"Well, we'll just have to see." She replied as she took off all her traveling outfit and put on a sports bra and tights.
Masha stood on her seat and pushed a button on the top of the jet's roof making a secret overhead opening to the top of the jet.
The pressure in the jet began to increase and just as Masha was about to climb out a bird hit her in the face and she almost tripped off her chair.
Without wasting a second, Li held the chair and righted it before she could fall, helping her to gain her balance. He put the jet on autopilot then he rose her up and helped her get on top of the jet.
Masha shut the opening and placed her arm on the jet and created a separate space which could be used as a drawer.
She went to both wings of the jet and touched them, creating an extra set of engines for each then stood at the middle of the jet and created a mini pilot's seat equiped with engine controls, guns and a sweet sweet gangster music album.
Then she flipped a lever and the jet went at hypersonic speed causing the ocean which they were above to split in two.
Back in Mexico, Nefario hurried over to Cheng who was unconscious.
He leaned over and studied him. His arm was slowly regenerating but he didn't seem likely to regain conscious anytime soon.
"Wake up buddy, I knew that Vishanti wouldn't be able to withstand that heat. Get up child! We need to get to my safe house and run some tests on your bod-"
Before Nefario could finish his sentence he got shot right in the middle of his head and fell unconscious.
The sound of the gunshot brought Cheng back to consciousness and he looked above to see a jet with large supersonic engines.
"Oh shit!" Cheng shouted as the jet was getting ready to fire a barrage of bullets.
Out of fear Cheng then put his hands above his head to block the bullets and closed his eyes.
A few seconds passed and Cheng wondered why he hadn't felt any of the bullets yet. He put down his hands and opened his eyes but was shocked by what he saw.
The bullets were frozen mid air but Li and Masha were not, it seemed Cheng attained speed that was quite different from what he had seen before. He was faster than a bullet, slowing down the bullet.
"Hey kid! Let Nefario go and I'll let you live for a while even though your father owed us big time." Li said as he jumped out of the jet landing on the ground and creating a shockwave that blew the trees away and created a sinkhole.
"Hand over the ugly old bastard. He wasted his life, he has lived for long enough." Masha said as she jumped out of the jet the same way Li did.
There was only one thought on Cheng's mind.
"Who are these people, what do they want?"
With his mind battling one question after the other, Cheng could only try to assimilate what was happening right in front of his eyes.
He was attacked by two unknown people. One was a tall muscular man with grey hair, red eyes and a tattoo of a dragon on his neck, the other was a woman with a blue sports bra and green tights. She wasn't that short, her head was about the height of Li's shoulder.
Cheng summoned up some courage although he still looked timid. He never really got the thug life treatment that his father got. He found a little bit of energy in his voice and yelled.
"Hey, who are you idiots? What the hell do you want to do with the old guy?"
Li chuckled looking at Cheng like he was a poor child. He smiled devishly.
"Look at you trying to act tough. Your father was quite a tough man to kill. We managed to fake a car accident and drop his body there. Maybe we'll have to do the same with you."
Cheng looked as pissed as he could be, he felt a deadly sting as his eyes glowed white, veins appearing on his arms.
Cheng's timid form suddenly became the stature of Death. He had unmatched Aura that filled the area.
Cheng clenched his fists as he stood up from where he knelt holding nefario's head. He placed nefario's head down gently then stood up with vigor, anger and fear filling his body at the same time.
Cheng felt a strong rush of adrenaline. He had never been in a fight and he felt as though everything was laid on his shoulders; both his and Nefario's lives were in his hands.
With a swift pounce Cheng leaped over to Li with his fingers out.
"Never talk about my father that way."
Li saw this coming from a mile away as he had over 78 years of combat experience. He sneered at Cheng, moving out of the way and catching Cheng's arm by the wrist.
Li held on to Cheng's arm with all his muscle power breaking the boy's arm like spaghetti, then he smiled evily and raised Cheng over his head, spinning him around in a 360° movement causing unimaginable wind to blow trees away. Even the jet was blown away.
The wind was too strong for Masha to handle so she pushed a button on her shoes which caused it to stick to the ground using suction.
She calmly brought out suction gloves from her pocket and used them to hold a can she brought out from her purse.
She put her hand in the can and brought out... a bag of Doritos.
She took a chip for every second that Li spent spinning Cheng in the air. In total she took about 170 chips which amounted to two bags of chips and 170 seconds of Cheng being spun around.
Li was satisfied after spinning Cheng for a while. He began hitting him from side to ssid, forward and backward creating humongous holes in the ground.
Cheng who had forgotten where he was felt a tingling sensation in his head spiking hard like a migraine but it was feeding him information about his abilities.
He blankly muttered under his breath. "Fascinating. I can regenerate my broken limbs in a matter of seconds, although the pain I feel is unmatched I can at least tolerate it for a while until I escape the clutches of this mad man."
Cheng then used his katana arm to cut off his other one, releasing him from the hold. He was sent flying and landed breaking his legs.
The pain was so immense that he screamed so hard all the glass from around the city began shatter and Li and Masha had nose bleeds.
His limbs grew back.
He saw and opening and went straight for Li before he could second guess himself. He threw a punch at Li, right in the eyes.
Li didn't even flinch as he dodged the attack and threw a punch of his own.
Cheng ducked and went straight for a side kick on Li's leg causing him to tumble a bit, then followed up with another strong side kick causing Li to fall to his knees.
Cheng jumped and used his knee to hit Li right in the jaw causing a few fractions then smashed his head with his knuckles causing Li's bones to break.
Li coughed out blood but Cheng still wasn't satisfied.
It was as if Cheng was learning in the midst of battle, adapting to his power and finding weak spots in his opponent.
Cheng grinned as he smashed Li's head again causing him to drop on the floor, creating a giant sinkhole and another earthquake but this time only people who lived around felt it.
Cheng moved over to stand above Li's head and said. "I guess your all bark and no bite, tch you bloody ass basta-"
At that moment Li raised his arm and held Cheng's neck while standing up.
"You think a low life like you stands a chance against me? The blood king? What a joke! You better keep your mouth before I take it from you." Li said as he squeezed the life out of Cheng.
Cheng was losing air fast. He couldn't do anything and his thoughts were clouded, filled with ideas on how to escape and possibilities that he might die.
At that instant Cheng teleported from Li's grasp and landed on Nefario.
Cheng was confused by what happened. He never knew he could do that.
Li wasn't surprised as he didn't even know all of Cheng's abilities. All he did was leap over to Cheng ready to throw another punch.
Before the punch came, Cheng was scared out of his mind thinking of what he could do holding Nefario's unconscious body and saying. "Please, please wake up dude if not we're gonna die!"
Before the punch could land, Cheng teleported again but this time he was on the road and a taxi cab was coming straight at him.
"Hey! Taxi! Take me to No. 20 Elmore Estate." Cheng said running to the taxi door.
"Ok, get in." The taxi driver replied as he opened the door, watched Cheng get inside and drove away.
Li was furious that his prey had escaped.
He punched the ground several times causing his knuckles to bleed and creating holes in the ground.
He took out his cellphone and made a call.
"Calling all members of the Banpai in Mexico. We are looking for a boy, about 5'6, wearing grey sweat pants and is covered in blood. He is with an unconscious guy who is about my height."
Li waited a few seconds for a response and someone said. "Sir, does the boy have grey hair?"
"Yes he does, dark grey to be precise."
"He has been spotted, should I approach?"
"Yes, follow him."
"Ok sir."
The guy who answered the call walks to a dark alley where he opens his suit pocket and pulls out a microchip which turns into a black motorcycle.
He smiled as he drove off.
"The chase is on."
