Deus Ex Paulus


The sudden loud scream (by Paul) pierces the interrogation room, where Lei Wulong held his life and death battle against a mysterious assassin who want to bail out Nina Williams.

"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Startled by the sudden, unexpected scream, for a few, critical seconds, Raven's right hand wavers, and Lei Wulong quickly knew that his pistol is not aligned with any vital points inside him anymore. Trying his best for taking the initiative, Lei quickly kicked the pistol out of Raven's hand, and before the kunai in the other hand could act, Lei immediately follows with an uppercut square in the jaw. Stunning Raven for some times, while he quickly do a beating kick, crane kick, get into his crane stance and doing the crane dance before Raven could even think of a counterattack.

Looking that her captor and her mysterious helper are immersed in the fight, Nina tries to run away, but alas, the feetcuffs on her feet disagree with her plan, and all she could do was merely jumping awkwardly toward the entrance. But even with all her struggles, she soon fall to the ground and writhing in pain, because right now, Lei Wulong, already knocked Raven out cold, picked Raven's discarded gun and decides to shoot her in the knee... followed by a rather brutal stomp to her head, knocking her out cold as well.

"I hate it when I must use guns, but you leave me with no choice..." said Lei solemnly while he then pragmatically do the same with Raven's limbs, he shot their joints and systematically break them at the tendons, so bar some serious reconstruction surgery, the mysterious assassin will be never able to fight in hand to hand again, or even walk by himself.

"And this is for all my comrade you have murdered..." said Lei to the unconscious Raven, with tears welled up at his eyes. Quickly brushing his tears with his shoulder, Lei then scramble to get some handcuffs, so that this mysterious Assassin could be properly secured.

Once he verify that those two are no longer pose an immediate threat, Lei silently go to the Radio station and called for help...

"..."

"Eleven officers down... and I was too late to recognize the threat... this is a dark day... this was all my fault..." lamented Lei while he tries to stop his own sobs, and established a connection to the nearest police reinforcements...

"..."

"this was ALL MY FAULT..."


Meanwhile, at the Violet's personal gym, at the same time, when Steve is just around twenty minutes doing his exercise:

"What was that?" said Eddy Gordo to Violet, who just shrugs, while they looking that Steve and Anna also stop their exercise...

"I don't know, but well, perhaps you should return to your exercise Steve... I bet there was nothing important for us..." said Violet, and they quickly forgot about the scream before returning to their own business.

"..."


After the lunch at Violet's personal gym:

"Alright Steve, hope you enjoyed your lunch already, because you'll resume your training soon." said Violet.

"Alright son, don't think we'll actually lock your hands in a handcuffs, that would actually make a mess with your balance, and I didn't want you to learn to kick, while wrecking your actual footworks and agility. Just try your best to use only your kicks against him, understand?" said Anna.

"Let us go to the ring then, buddy... but I must ask you first, did you already have some experience fighting a Capoeirista?" asked Eddy Gordo politely.

"Truth to be told, only once in MMA match, and that was actually easy..." said Steve.

"So, remember to not doing your punches, and try to use your kicks against mine..." said Eddy, who then hop into the ring, and Steve quickly follows him.

"..."
