Vigilante
Prologue:
Okay, so this is a revised version of my other story that was in transcript form. I finally got round to rewriting this as my previous attempt was deleted somehow… I hope this is easier for you guys to read.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, if I did you would see it on TV and I wouldn't be stuck studying for a physics test… which I should probably go study for…
Rundown Town - Night
The dark clouds dominating the sky as rain fell to the ground, forming big puddles of muddy, murky water. A full moon shines through the dark clouds casting an eerie glow over the rundown town. The windows of the buildings are dirty and cracked or broken.
Suddenly a shoe steps in a puddle, splashing muddy water everywhere. A few seconds later more boots splash through the puddle. The muddy water clears to show a hooded figure being chased by a bunch of military-looking men wearing black fatigues.
The hooded figure runs down an alley and looks back at to see the men still following. The hooded figure turns to the front just as a man appears in front of it. The hooded figure skids to a stop as the man raises a gun and points it at the hooded figure. The hooded figure smiles at the man, looks at the men behind it then at the man in front of it. The man smiles viciously.
"Give up. You know it's over," the man commanded.
The hooded figure just smiled and said "No, we're just getting started."
The hooded figure turns to the men behind and throws a small black ball towards them. The ball explodes and the air is filled with smoke. The hooded figure rushes at the man and knocks the gun out of his hand just as the gun goes off and hits the wall. With bits of bricks flying through the air, the gun falls to the ground near a pile of leaves by the wall. The man falls to the ground with the hooded figure on top. The hooded figure starts punching the man in the face. The man blocks the attacks and grabs the hooded figure's fist mid-punch and rolls over so that he is on top. The man starts chocking the hooded figure. The hooded figure starts clawing at the man's hands, trying to release them but can't.
"That's enough! It's time to finish this!" the man shouted.
The hooded figure reaches up, grabs the man's head and head butts him. The hooded figure pushes him off and punches him in the face, then knees him in the stomach winding him.
"Maybe another time," the hooded figure breathed.
The hooded figure kicks him in the face and the man falls back unconscious. The hooded figure looks up and sees the other men coming through the smoke and starts running again.
The men run up to their leader o check if he is okay while one of the men pulls out his gun and starts shooting at the hooded figure. The hooded figure hears the gun shots and ducks behind a dumpster for cover. The shooting stops and the hooded figure starts running again. The man with the gun runs after the hooded figure while the other men help their leader up.
"What are you standing around for? Go after her!" the leader commanded angrily.
The men scramble up and run after the hooded figure. The hooded figure runs down the alley over turning the dustbins to try and block the path, but the men keep coming.
The hooded figure runs out of the alley onto the street passing many entrances to other alleys. The man with the gun raises his gun and shoots at the hooded figure. The hooded figure ducks and dodges the speeding projectiles. Another man appears in front of the hooded figure and fires his gun surprising the hooded figure. The tranquilizer hits the hooded figure in the chest and falls to the ground.
"That was too easy!" the man said as he approaches the hooded figure's still form. As soon as he gets close enough, the hooded figure sweeps his leg out from under him and gets up.
"Try again asshole!" shouted the hooded figure.
The hooded figure turns around to the other men getting closer and takes off running into another alley. The men follow closely behind. The hooded figure looks up to see that the alley leads to the street and into another alley. Not knowing what awaits it in the street, the hooded figure speeds up. The hooded figure runs into the street and just as it enters the alley, a man shoots his gun and hits the hooded figure in the shoulder. The force of the shot sends the hooded figure into the wall.
With blurry vision the hooded figure groans as it gets up and staggers further into the alley. Much to the men's delight the alley ends in a dead end.
"SHIT!" the hooded figure swore and punched the wall.
"Now where do you think you're going?" asked one of the men.
"Nowhere with you if that's what you're thinking," replied the hooded figure as it turned around.
"Now, now, calm down. We won't hurt you, we just wanna talk. Okay, no. I'm lying. Get her!" the leader commanded.
"I don't think so!" the hooded figure exclaimed.
The hooded figure starts running towards them, but instead runs up the wall, jumps to the middle of the alley and disappears in flash of blue light. The men look around confused.
"Where'd she go?" one of the men asked the leader.
A bright flash of blue light appeared out of nowhere and disappeared to show the hooded figure crouched down with closed eyes, breathing heavily.
"That was too close," the hooded figure whispered
The hooded figure opens her eyes and quietly makes her way to the edge of the building where she can hear the men who were chasing her talking.
"She was just here!" exclaimed one of the men.
"She's a teleporter, but with the amount of drugs in her system, she won't get far," the leader explained. "The organization that we work for was kind enough to supply us with a special tranquilizer that targets the teleporting gene and disables it."
"That explains why I'm still here and the swimming sensation in my head," whispered the hooded figure.
The hooded figure groaned and grabs her head as she stumbles. She tries to grab hold of a TV Arial, but as she grabs it, it squeaks and the men look around to see where the noise came from.
"What was that?" asked one of the men.
"It's probably her. Find her!" commanded the leader.
"Up there!" shouted another man as he pointed to the roof. "She's on the roof."
The men look up to see the hooded figure barely hanging onto the TV Arial
"Shit!" the hooded figure cursed as she stumbles away from the edge of the roof and looks around for an escape route, seeing only more roofs.
"Looks like I'm going roof hopping," the hooded figure thought
The hooded figure moves back a bit to get a longer run-up only to hear the roof door bang open as the men run on to the roof.
"Stop right there!" the men shout.
"Now or never!" the hooded figure said softly.
The hooded figure sprints towards the edge of the roof and jumps to the neighbouring building. Only just making it and rolls to her feet and makes a running jump to the next roof.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Get jumping!" ordered the leader.
The men start running and jumping after the hooded figure. The hooded figure looks around and spots a loose Satellite dish. She grabs it and throws it towards the men. The satellite dish hits one of the men who stumbles back into another man and they both fall off the roof.
"Two down, three to go," the hooded figure thought.
The hooded figure jumps across another gap to the next building, which resembles what was left of an old apartment block. The hooded figure looks up to see that the gap to the next building is almost twice the size of the last.
"Ah shit. Gotta jump the jump. Hopefully I can make it this time," the hooded figure thought.
The hooded figure sprints to the edge of the apartment block and jumps. She sails through the air and then disappears in a red flash. A few second later the hooded figure reappears and lands on the next roof, but looses her footing and rolls down the side of the roof. She quickly sticks out her hand to catch the edge of the roof.
The hooded figure grabs hold of the edge of the roof, but the force of the fall makes her to slam into the wall of the building which almost causes her to loose her grip. The hooded figure grabs hold of the edge of the building with both hands and tries to climb back up, only to have someone step on her hand.
The hooded figure groans and looks up to see the leader of the men standing on her hand.
"Now we've gotcha!" exclaimed the leader.
"Thought you could get away from us, did ya?" another man gloated.
"So much for a teleporter!" one of the men taunted.
The leader smiles and looks down at the hooded figure who's now barely hanging onto consciousness never mind the edge of the roof.
"Time to say good night!" the leader shouted as he removed foot from the hooded figure's hand and raised his gun. He pulls the trigger and the gunshot rings out…
Okay, I hope it wasn't too bad. Anyway please review and let me know what you think and if its good enough to continue.
