The School came into view a few miles away, few details visible. There was a helicopter on the helipad, and only a few windows, which like other Schools, were in the room full of dog crates where mutants were held. Several of the windows were open because of the late summer heat.
"Looks like I found my way in. Let's land then split up, I'll sneak up from the side, you go in the front and make some noise, kay?" Shadow said, going into a shallow dive.
"Really? Make noise? What have you guys been calling me?" I said, laughing and shaking my head. Shadow started laughing too. All of a sudden she stopped laughing then looked at me.
"Oh my god, I think that's the first time I've heard you laugh! That's so bad! You need to relax more dude." She said, then started laughing again. I smiled, enjoying the sound of her laugh. I had that feeling again, that I'd met her but just couldn't remember.
We landed a mile to the southwest and split up, me going slightly more towards the front, Shadow walking straight towards the back, where the cages were. I was near the enterance when the erasers spotted me. They slowly morphed into hairy people with claws and sharp teeth. Seconds later there was three erasers right infront of me.
I blocked punchs and kicks, aware that the eraser on the left was slowly edging his way behind me. When the eraser was at near the back of my left leg I made my move, kicking backwards, hitting him where the sun doesn't shine. Then I threw a round house kick at the right eraser's head. I put some much force into that kick I felt his skull crack. The Eraser that had been in the middle back off a bit, seeing what had happened to the other one. Quickly, I turned around, kneed the eraser behind my in the nose, pushing down on his head, bring up my knee.
While the eraser was still bent over I got behind him and shoved him forward, giving me space. While the eraser on the right now slowly waited out the pain from his nose, the left eraser charged me, but I side stepped and stuck my foot. While he was on the ground I violently stomped his head, cracking it several times. By this time the other eraser had given up and run away. Then I approached the glass wall that was the enterance. Knowing I'd need an ID card or pass code for the door, I flipped up the hood on my black sweatshirt then ran into the glass wall, breaking it with ease.
By this time I was surrounded by erasers, and they were slowly shuffling forward. Then, when the were close enough I lashed out, Spinning in circles, throwing kicks in every directions with an occasional punch to the face of an eraser that got too close. I was spinning in circles, kicking anything close to me, slowly widening the circle by moving out towards one side then another.
I knew I was screwed basically. There were to many, and eventually someone would get a gun. As if knowing I'd thought about it a gap in the circle opened up, and a shot rang out. My knee buckled, and then I fell onto one knee, looking out the shattered window. Blood was pouring out of my right knee. Time slowed as the next shot rang out, and as it did I saw several figures in the air, much too large for birds. The bullet hit me in the back of the head, and left the exact opposite side, hitting one of the erasers infront of me. I fell to the ground, dead.
Shadow's P.O.V.
We all heard the shots, but none of the others knew what was going on. I knew though, and I could tell he was dead. The nameless mutant, no the nameless hero. He pretty much saved the others, people he knew for a few days, and died in the process. I felt a tear slide down my face. I rubbed my eyes, not knowing where it had come from.
"Hey! Shadow did you just spit? You know how much that hurts when you're flying behind someone and they spit!" I heard Sound yell from behind me.
"I didn't spit, it was a tear, and sorry." I said.
"Why are you crying? What's wrong?" He said, genuinely concerned.
"I'll tell you when we land. " I said, a lump forming in my throaght
