Everlasting Needs
By: KhasKlwn
The room appeared dark with shades of black getting more and more dense as I looked further down the room of the warehouse. My eyes keen on searching for the bounty which offered promising rewards. I took steps walking down it slowly placing my toes first and arching my foot so I step onto the ground joint by joint to avoid the sound of my feet being heard. I listened, to the silence waiting for a moment of noise to give off his location. The ragged-down building had crates and boxes left in the hallways giving plenty of cover. Not for me however. He could hide and wait for me. But I couldn't wait for he could be slowly making his way out of the building to his escape. I should say… Temporary freedom.
"Suzuka." Someone called out my name. I looked in the direction of the voice. It was Gene being very loud making all my silent efforts to waist. I raised my left index finger to my lips to acknowledge to him that I wanted him to remain quiet. Gene… so reckless. He'll be the death of me someday. But I couldn't help but smile. Something about Gene always kept me wondering and in a sense happy.
Refocusing on the matter at hand, I looked back in the direction that I was walking, and signaled with my sword waving it from Gene toward me telling him to follow. Gene just nodded drawing his double-barrel blaster out of his cloak. The night was hot and it was getting irritating with all the sweat running around my eyes.. I wiped them away for probably an uncountable number of times. So far… this bounty seemed pretty smart. The real expensive ones usually are.
"Clank Clank Clank." I heard from the upstairs. Sounded like claws were banging after each step. Probably Aisha. I disregarded her search knowing he was no where near her. But in fact somewhere in this room. I just felt it. When you are constantly in danger… you gain a sixth sense.. And I was positive on this one that he was in here waiting. Suddenly a gunshot rang from my 3 o'clock position. I turned to look but then sensed something from above. Pushing Gene out of the way, the crate I sensed above me fell quickly leaving me little ample time to move. I jumped and landed onto my shoulder rolling forward. I jumped with all my strength leaving quite a bit of distance between me and the floor. I could see him in the corner.
"Did you actually think that would work?" I asked my prey trying to intimidate him. His eyes widened showing fear. He raised his gun aiming at me. I readied my sword to deflect and as I followed where his gun was aiming I blocked not one or two bullets. But the third as well. I approached closer from the air bringing my sword down upon him cutting off his arm which hadheld his weapon.
"It's already too late. You can't do anything about what has already started." And with those words he gave to me… I saw him bite down on his tooth hard hearing a crackling sound.. He planned on taking us all out with him. With movements which I didn't even know I could move, I cut off his head with my sword and before the head could fall an inch shorter from where I had previously sliced I butted it with the back of my Bokuto forced the head he had outside the window. Before I could reach 2 feet outside however… It blew. The force of the explosion forced me back into the room. I couldn't control my movements and a sharp pain hit the back of my head. And without realizing… what went on later… I lost consciousness.
I woke up in a stretcher… in Starwind and Hawking's enterprise co. building. I recollected in my head the past events and it all came clear to me. And I sat up.. Looking for any sign of my friends…
Author's Note: Short start, but I decided to completely redo my Suzuka/Gene story based on my incapability to give out good details. I hope this was a better improvement. Thanks for your honest Constructive Criticism BellaNymph. Have a nice Day everyone. Please tell me if this is detailed enough.
