Here is chapter 10, read and enjoy.
Chapter 10: The Threat part 2
"EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET ON THE GROUND." the minister yell and open fire at the ceiling, causing everyone to kneel down to the ground.
I take a look around the room and count around fifty guards, the minister still holding Mr. Duke at gun point.
"YOU! ARE YOU DEAF? GET ON THE GROUND!." one the security guards point his gun at my head. I could take all of them out, but that will mean a lot of people here will be dead. Saeko wrestles out of my grip and rush towards her father, Kage is on the ground bleeding. The guard pushes her back and aim his gun at her face.
"BITCH, I GUESS YOU HAVE A DEAD WISH."
(BANG)
Saeko closes her eyes, when she opens them again, I was in front of her. The bullet went into my shoulder and blood begin to pour out.
"TAKASHI-KUN! TAKASHI-KUN!" Saeko rush to my side.
"Is ok, Saeko-Chen, it doesn't hurt that bad." I look back at the guard.
"Listen all of you, with all the fuss you guys you make, the police should be here soon, they are not going to happy if you start shooting hostages, let me treat that man, I am a doctor! (Well, I'm not a doctor, but I know how to deal with gunshot wounds).
"Boy you just give up your right to live." the guard is set on killing me.
"WAIT!" the minister speaks.
"He's right. Let him treat the man, he's no threat to us, but if he makes any move, blow his head off." his order.
I leave out a sign of relief, I walk over to Kage with a first-aid kit. At the same time, two more guards come in the room and throw Xavier onto the ground.
'Great. I guess support is out of the question.'
I look at Kage's wound, the bullet went right into his stomach, but miss all of his vital points, so I need to dig out the bullet and stop bleeding.
"Can you let that gentleman come and help me? He's my assistance." I point to Xavier.
The minister gives the ok.
While Xavier makes his way to me, the minister makes his speech.
"Ladies and gentleman, I'm sorry for breaking your party like this, we are the terrorist group called the Cerberus, my name is Vias, now as long as you play ball, I promise that most of you will be alive when we leave tonight, and those who anger me..." Vias(minister) drag a man out the crowd who was trying to make a call.
"Will be picking up pieces of his brain." Vias aim the gun at the man's head.
(BANG!)
The crowd scream at the execution, I feel remorse for not be able to help that man. Xavier comes next to me and kneel down.
"Takashi, tell me you have a plan." he whispers.
"Not yet, I can't take them on now, a lot of people will get hurt, we have to wait until they leave." I whisper back.
"As for now we have to try to keep vias from killing any more people." I look back at Saeko and give her a thumb-up, telling her that her father is alive. Saeko is relieved of the news.
I look back at Vias, six feet two, bold, a lean build, his eyes have a heavy black outline, the result of heavy dosing large amount of drugs, he look Indian, but he has an Arabic accent when he speaks English.
"Xavier, do you have anything on you?" I ask.
"No man, they search me before they brought me in, they took all my guns." Xavier says.
I finish treating Kage, and wrap his stomach with a bandage.
"Do you have any tracking device on you?" I ask.
"...Oh yea, I have it in my back pocket, it is so small they must have missed it."
"Cover for me Xavier." I take the device and walk over to Vias.
I fall on him, pushing him to the ground and plant the device on the bottle of his shoe.
Vias push me away, get up and aim his gun at my face.
"YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT! WHAT ARE YOU TRY TO PULL?! I'LL TEACH YOU TO MISS WITH ME!" before he can pull the trigger, Xavier gets in front of him.
"Wait, please don't kill him, he's just dizzy from the loss of blood. Oh please don't kill this poor bastard, his wife left him because he cheats on her three times with some gay dude, he gets himself drunk every night at a gay club, 70 percent of his meals come from road kill, and he doesn't even have a car, so he does his road kill using a tricycle, that's why he only eats squirrel and rat, sometime cat if he's lucky. That is not the worst of it, he has done a checkup few weeks ago, his have liver failure because of all the alcohol he drank, and he receives five kinds of STD from all the gay people he hangs out with. He won't live for another few more years. Can you see? His wife is gone, his penis is gone due to the STD, and his health is gone, so please don't waste your bullet on him, he's not worth it."
By the time Xavier is finished, I wish vias shoot me (I have to explain to Saeko-Chen later). Everyone in the room looks at me with pity, even Vias feel remorse.
"J-just don't cause any fuss from now on, and treat wounds. Tell me if you need anything." Vias lower his gun and turn away.
Xavier comes over to me and help me up.
"How do I do Takashi?" he looks at me with confidence.
"very good, too good, I'm going to ask you not to cover for me anymore." I said.
(After a few minutes)
The police has gathered outside the palace with their swat team ready, Vias's men are keeping them busy. Views is talking on his radio, with my superhuman hearing, I can hear the conversation he's having with anyone on the other side.
"Vias, the pickup helicopter will be there shortly, remember, get the Duke family in the truck and take some hostages, and I want them fresh if you know what I mean, hahaha." a disturbing male voice comes out the radio.
"I know what you want boss." Vias grin.
He turns off the radio and turn towards the crowd.
"ladies and gentleman, I like to thank you all for making this night easy for me, as promise."
(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM)
The a explosion makes a hole in the wall (thank god no one is killed) and an armed helicopter comes in view.
"I will let most of you leave." he points the gun at Ms and , signaling them to get on the helicopter, then he turns to his men.
"Boys, round up the fresh ones." he licks his lip.
The guard begins pulling girls out of the crowd, one of the guards see Saeko-chen, he cup her chin and look at her.
"my my, aren't you a piece of fresh meat, I'm going to make you cum so hard." Vias said
Vias pull Saeko to her feet and take her to the helicopter, Saeko tries to defend herself, but without weapons, her effort is futile. I eyes glow red, it takes every drop of self control to not kill him at that moment. Before Saeko is taken away, she turn around and give me a worry look. I give her the look saying I will come to save you, so sit tight.
When Vias get enough people to the helicopter, he climbs aboard to the helicopter.
"It has been a pleasure working with all of you, I hope all of you will have a wonderful evening." I saw him press a detonator before the helicopter fly away.
The police charge in and most people who is there sign in relieved that it is over, but I know better. Using my sense of hearing, I hear a ticking sound, like a clock. I follow that sound and it leads me to the basement, and in the basement a wooden box lay in the center. Inside the wooden box is a time bomb.
Only ten more seconds before the bomb blow up, not enough time to tell everyone to get out. I sit down and begin to defuse the bomb, defusing bomb is not my strong suit, back in the 'school' I defuse many bombs, my best time is fifteen seconds. But lucky me this is an old model, so I may have a chance to break my record.
I defuse the bomb in six seconds, by the time I'm done, I'm sweating like a pig. I walk back to the ground level and meet up with Xavier, the police is still taking care of the hostages. Xavier sees me and approach me.
"DUDE!WHERE THE HECK HAD YOU BEEN? DON'T YOU WANT TO GO AFTER VIAS?" Xavier said.
"Of course, just that Vias set a bomb in the basement that can wipe out the entire palace, I just there to disarm it."
"...o-ok, now that you're back, let the hunt begin." Xavier makes a nervous smile.
"Xavier have you reboot the computer?"
"Of course, all systems are online, let's suit up Takashi, by the way, the thing you ask for a day ago has arrived, it's in your bedroom." Xavier said.
I smile and walk to my room.
I put on my suit and red tie, my AMTS, my fiber wire, and my black mask. On my bed, there is a care package(like the care package in ghost.) I unlock the care package and pull out two pattern light cavalry Sabre(British sword), I strap them to my waist and get out the palace using the window.
"Xavier, I'm ready, sent me the tracking signal."I speak into the earpiece..
"Ok, done. I also hack their radio frequency, now you can listen in on their conversation."
I hot wire a police car and head for the signal. While I'm driving, I listen in on their conversation.
"Hey, boss, can I keep this one?" a guard said.
"Let go of me, you filthy animal!" Saeko said.
I swear to myself that if they hurt Saeko-Chen I will make them face something that is worse than dead.
"Hey, stop it, you know the rule, I get the first dip, you can have whatever is left of her when I'm done." Vias voice carries a lot of lust.
"I am going to make your body burn baby." Vias said.
"LET GO OF ME!" Saeko is screaming now.
"hahaha, I love it when a girl fight back, just wait baby, when is you and me alone."
The more I listen to the conversation, the more angry I become. I check the signal on the tracking device, by the direction they are heading, I can predict that they are going to a harbor.
"Takashi, I find the information about the Cerberus, the leader of the group nickname himself black beard, he trades drugs and humans mainly on the water, and like any terrorist, he kills without mercy. There is a rumor saying that he drinks the blood of children every night when he have dinner...this is going to make me sick." Xavier said.
Pictures of black beard begin to appear in front of me, a British man with a thick black beard (he really lives up to his name), he have the height of six feet five, build like a body builder, messy black hair, and eyes that give off insanely aura.
"how about Vias?" I said.
"I'm getting to that...ok, Vias is Blackbeard's right hand man, his full name is Vias Fester, he abandoned his last time when he was nine years old. A typical manic, kill, steal, torture, rape, he has done it all. The police is so afraid of him, because if they put him in prison, he might take over the prison."
"Is there anything new? A freaking manic killing people and raping women, tell me something I don't know." I said.
"He also rapes man."
"...ok... I ask for that." I said.
I look at the signal and notice it stopped moving, they are in the harbor right now.
"All right Xavier, I am going to do what I do best. I will put all of them down like a dog ."
"don't go easy on Vias, remember I told you Vias abandoned his last name?" Xavier says.
"Yea, what about it?"
"The reason is that when he was nine, he committed to his first crime...he slaughters his entire family."
(Inside the Harbor)
Vias's man is uploading cargo into a large ship, the hostages are tied up and force to sit on the ground.
"Hurry up and load the stuff into the boat, and don't forget the Duke family too. We will get a lot of money by selling royal family members." Vias said.
"Please, don't do this, you want money? I give you money, whatever you get paid for doing this, I-I'll double it, no I TRIPLE IT, SO PLEA-"
(BANG)
A bullet went through 's right leg.
"AGHHHHHHH!" fall to the ground.
"Darling!" rush to her side.
Vias grab her hand, take a look at her and lick his lip.
"Well, aren't you a beauty, I'm really going to enjoy thi-"
(SLAP)
Ms. Duke slaps him right across the face. Vias look back with even more lust.
"You know what lady? I fuck women of all ages(by the way is in her mid forty), from two to eighty two, and do you know what I like best? The women that fight, because now I'm GOING TO FIGHT BACK!"
Vias grab her hair and pull her towards him, punch and kick, but is no use, Vias' men pin her down while Vias get on top of her and start ripping her clothes off.
"ANIMAL! ANIMAL! ANIMAL!" scream.
"STOP! LET HER GO! I GIVE YOU ALL THE MONEY YOU WANT, PLEASE!" scream too.
The other hostages that watch the scene can only shiver in fear, they experience human cruelty first hand. Saeko can only watch with fear and disgust.
'Somebody stops them, this is not human.' tears start coming out of Saeko's eyes.
At that moment, one of the window breaks and a figure jump in, Saeko looks at it, it is a man wearing a suit, he wears a mask have no eye hole. No doubt in her mind that this man is the ghost that students in her school talk about, she wonders why he is in London.
(Takashi's point of view)
I jump into the harbor, there are thirty guards in the harbor, the rest is probably on the large ship. (My plan was to wait until they get on the ship, then I sneak on the ship, and they will take me to Blackbeard, but I need to change the plan when they attempt to rape .)
"WHO ARE YOU? HOW YOU KNOW THIS PLACE?" Vias stop what he's doing and point his gun at me, and so did the rest of the men.
Before they can shoot, I draw one of my cavalry Saber and AMT run towards them. All of them open fire. Using my instinct, I side step out of the way of bullets, Cavalry Saber is a very thin sword, I won't be able to deflect all the bullets. When most of them run out of bullet and start reloading, I charge into the center and start slicing and dicing with my Saber. My sword is thin, but is strong, it cuts through fresh and bone with ease. I slice one of the man's stomach open, let his intestine fall to the ground, I thrust into another man's brain, giving him a brain surgery. One of them aim his gun at me, I slice off both of his arms, pull him towards me and use him as shield from other three men who open fire at me. I toss the dead body to the man in the middle and head shot the other two while they reload their weapon, when the third man stand up, I deliver a horizontal slash, cutting his head into two pieces. Two men behind me and open fire their weapon , I dodge out of the way, the bullets kill more of their own man, another man in the opposite direction pick up a RPG and fire a missile at me, I slice the missile in half and the missiles went in two different directions and explode, killing many of them. The man hurry up and load another rocket into the RPG. I fire one bullet, the bullet hit the rocket, cause it to explode right in front of him, killing him and many men near him. I stop and look around, there are only two men left, and Vias. Vias point his gun at me, his hand trembles.
"...what the fuck, how you do this, are you even human?"
There are one man next to him, and a man at my eight o clock, whose aiming his gun at me, is time to finish this. I charge towards Vias with inhuman speed, Vias panic and open fire, at the same time, I fire one bullet using my AMT. The bullet that Vias fire touch my bullet by the side, changing its direction, my bullet, went to the man standing next to Vias, and Vias' bullet, went to the man standing next to me, killing both of them. Vias try to pull the trigger again, I deliver a horizontal slash and cut the pistol in half, then I punch him in the face an knock him out.
When I'm finished, the hostages stare with awe, they can't believe their eyes, that one man takes down that entire group of crime organization. I walk over to them and untie their rope, Saeko's eyes are set on me, she looks like she tries to figure something out. I walk over to and his wife.
"Mr and , how are you feeling? Are you hurt?" I ask with concern.
"We fine, thank you, thank you so much." holds my hand with tears coming out of his eyes, while is still traumatized (is good that they didn't take it too far).
"I will reward you handsomely boy, I'm in your debt, I makes the right choice to call Agency." Mr. Duke praises me (making me feel nervous).
I hold his hand to calm him down, letting him know that everything is under control now. I turn to the hostages, there are nine hostages, plus Mr and
"Everyone you are safe now, I want all of you to take the car that I borrow(I hot wire) that is outside this harbor and drive back to the palace." I said to them.
Everyone sign in relieve and begin to make their way to the outside of the harbor, I notice one didn't, it is Saeko, she just keeps on looking at me.
(Saeko's point of view.)
'Why am I feeling like this? My heart is beating so fast, the way he put down those scum turn me on, and this warm and fuzzy feeling. It is just like Takashi-kun.' Saeko put his hands on her cheeks as her cheeks begin to heat up.
(Takashi's point of view.)
I don't know why Saeko-chen just stand there, it couldn't be that she figure out who I am.
"excuse me lady, but don't you want to get out of here?" I ask her.
"Are you coming with us?" Saeko said.
"No, I need to know something from that man over there, that's why I didn't kill him right off the bat." I answer.
"..." Saeko keeps on staring me.
"is there something wrong lady?" I ask.
"Oh, I' sorry, but you feel like someone I know." Saeko said.
'she can feel me? Wow, that is pretty... amazing' I thought.
"lady... Please, get to the car." I said to her.
"Come on little girl, let's get out of here." Mr. Duke calls out.
Before Saeko go, she gives me one last look.
"we will meet again right?" She give me a with needy look.
"We'll see." and she runs towards the car.
I turn my attention back to Vias who is unconscious. It's time to dig some information.
(a few minutes later)
I sit Vias down on a chair, and strap him to the chair. There is a lot of equipment in the harbor, I grab a bunch of cable wire and hook it up to a power generator. Then I hook the wire back to Vias, by the time I'm finished, Vias wake up.
"what the fuck is this? What are you doing to me?" Vias said.
"I give you one chance to make me feel sorry for you, give me something that can help me lead to Blackbeard and I will hand you over to the police." I said.
"... Let's get this straight, you want me to rat my boss out, then you're going to hand me to those fucking cop? YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO TELL ME TO RAT?" Vias scream.
"yes, that is exactly what I say, I'm telling you to rat, and let me remind you I'm only giving you one chance to rat." I said with a cold voice.
"OR WHAT MOTHERFUCKER?! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME? BRING IT ON THEN!" Vias is going nut.
"...your chance has passed, I knew I'm going to do this the hard way." I walk over and duct tape Vias' foul mouth.
"Now I am going to ask questions, you are going to listen, and your body is going to answer." I said.
"Now, the reason why you upload those cargoes into the ship is because you need to hand them over to Blackbeard correct? Now if Blackbeard wants the cargoes, that means he's doing the trade personal correct? Now you're going to give me the location where the trade is going down." I focus my sense of hearing.
"is it in that direction?" I point a random direction. Vias' heart beat is steady
"how about there?" I done it again. Still steady.
"Over there?" this time his heart jumps a little.
"so it is over there." his heart beat increase.
"what time does it take place? Between 1 am to 3 am?" his heart jump again.
"Thank you for your help Vias." I remove the tape from his mouth.
"I-I going going to kill you, I GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU HEAR ME?!" Vias yell.
"Now, now, you are going to need that energy for what you are about to go through. You know I should be thankful that you make this harbor sound proof." I walk over to the generator and turn on the machine.
"This generator generate one thousand amps, much more than is needed, but I just figure you can't be too safe. When I start this generator, ten amps of current will run into your body, it is not enough to kill you, but the pain..." I turn on the generator.
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Vias twist and turn.
"is hellish, no?"I turn off the generator, Vias is breathing heavy.
"Now the fun part is I set the generator to stop for every hour, rest for a minute and start again. So that you can experience that pain over and over again. But by chance if the current stop your heart, is ok, another wave of current will jump start your heart and bring you back to life, and then killing you again. You will do this over and over again for one hundred times. After that, the hundred and one time, the amps will increase to one thousand. Under one thousand amps, your skin will burn, your blood will vaporize, by the time this is over, there will be nothing left of you to be identified." Vias are speechless.
"Before you say that you can make a woman burn, let see how well you burn." I turn on the generator and hot wire a Bowrider and sail out of the harbor . Even with a soundproof wall, Vias' call of agony can still be heard from a distance away.
On my way there, I contact Xavier to give a update back at the palace.
"Xavier, how is the thing back in palace?"
"Everything is under control. And the hostages just arrive, I took Saeko to see her father that is recovering in the hospital."
"Good, now Xavier, I need you to help me track down Blackbeard, I know that he's doing a trade in the water, at the west of the harbor, the trade is supposed to happen between 1 am to 3 am, is 1:30 am right now, I need you to check the water using orbital system that is in space and give me the feedback." I said.
"...got him. You're right the trade is happening right now, head straight Takashi, he's only five miles ahead of you." Xavier said.
"Tell me the situation, and send me a care package with diving gears."
"The ship that he's in is about ten times the size of your ship, is arm of course. There are also guards near the edge of the ship to make sure no one gets too close. Blackbeard is in the upper deck right now with his buyer, he seems pretty upset since, you know, you kinda delay his merchandise. Oh, by the way you should stop now, you are within two miles of range, any closer they will spot you, regardless is night time." I can see the two huge ships at a distance.
I stop the boat and a care package drop from the sky, almost landed on my head. I open the package and there is the diving gears.
"Has the package arrive?" Xavier asks.
"Right on time, good job, Xavier." I put on the diving gears, and jump into the water.
"go get them tiger." Xavier said.
(At the ships)
Blackbeard pace back and forth, his merchandise had yet to arrive. He's becoming more frustrated by the minute, and so is his buying.
"where is the fucking stuff I ask for." the buyer said.
"I don't know it is suppose to be here half and hour ago. HAS ANYONE GET IN CONTACT WITH VIAS?" he yell at his men, all of them shake their head.
"I know what? I know what this is a set, admitted it, YOU TRY TO FUCKING RIP ME OFF!" the buyer pull out his gun.
"I'M NOT TRY TO TO RIP YOU OFF! CALM YOURSELF!" Blackbeard said.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Before he can pull the trigger,two mans run past Blackbeard and towards the buyer at superhuman speed. One grabs hold of his neck and snap it, the other takes his gun and shoot the two guards that is drawing their weapons.
"Shit, I told him to calm down. Well, if it comes to this, we might as well as rip them off." Blackbeard give the order.
The two men nod their head and their eyes glow, one glow green, while the other glow purple. There are barcode tattoo print on their body, one on the neck. The other, on the back of the hand.
