The Secret War
The darkness of the night surrounds a building, when a man in worker outfit, running in fear, with two figures that are chasing him from behind while a third figure with it's head covered with a hodie, chases the man on the rooftop.
The Hoodied figure manages to catch up with the scared man and lunges from the roof directly to the man. A blade extended from the figure's left wrist then he landed on the man, killing him with the blade. A pool of blood poured from the lifeless body as the assassin retracteds the blade from his wrist.
"Kai! Why did you killed him?!" one of the assassins scolded at Kai for taking the man's life. "He did nothing wrong! He was just a worker!"
Kai looks at his lieutenants with frustration, "Then we let him alert the guards? I killed him for a reason. To make sure this mission does not fail!"
"You broke the first tenet!" yelled the second assassin, younger than most of them.
"I did what I have to! Don't forget! Nothing is true! Everything is permitted!", Kai turned his back on them, "I am your superior. You do as I command.". The master assassin climbs up to the rooftops followed by his two lieutenants.
They reached a spot where they saw large group of armed mercenaries and one of their targets. "That's gim. Robert Pattison, the templar." said the older lieutenant.
Kai walk forward to get a better view of his would be prey, "Let's greet him."
"No! Wait!" the lieutenant was too late and Kai was already on the ground, alerting the mercs. Despite the risk, the two assassins join their leader.
"I was expecting you will come" said Robert, "You must be the great assassin that's been killing my contacts lately" Robert lights a cigar then blows the smoke directly at the assassins.
"The templars will fall! And you will fall with it!" yelled Kai at the templar.
"We'll see about that. Get rid of them!" Robert commanded his forces and started shooting at the assassins.
Kai and his lieutenants quicly run for cover behind a stack of crates, nearly getting killed by the barage of bullets. Despite the danger, Kai pull out a flashbang from his satchel, pulls the pin then toss the flashbang at the mercs.
The loud bang and the bright flash blinded the mercs and Kai, without fear, runs towards the templar. He puls out his handgun and shoots his way through, killing any mercenaries that's stands in his way.
Robert saw the incoming assassin and quickly makes his way to the helicopter. "You two! Make sure he doesn't reach this pad!" he commanded two of his bodyguards to stay on the helipad to take out the assassin.
Ran out of ammo, Kai throw two knives at the bodyguards, killing them before they can make their move. Kai pushes the dying guards aside and charge toward the helicopter. Robert aims his gun and fire a shot but missed but that didn't stop him as he tackles the templar, pulling him out of the helicopter then stabbing his chest with his hidden blade.
"You think... This will end everything... You think killing me is going to stop this war.." Robert speaks with his dying state. "You don't know nothing. There are more of us out there", blood start dripping from his mouth as he tries to say his final words, "We will find you and your brotherhood!"
"That's enough! Your time is done here." Kai stared at the dead man's eyes as he choked on his own blood.
Kai gets up and saw mercenaries closing in aiming their guns at him. He takes his smoke bomb and toss it at the merces. He opens the cockpit of the helicopter and kick the pilot out. He starts the helicopter and slowly ascend from the helipad. The last thing he saw was the sight of his two comrades, captured by the hands of the templars when their leader left them behind.
The chopper escaped the compound and disappear into the distance.
