Itsuki runs for the stairway as Allison does her part. He slides down the railing and kicks an upcoming guard square in the jaw, his head slamming into the wall, hard. He wraps his legs around the next guy's neck and with a quick twist he breaks it. He flips off the rail and bounces back from the wall to land on the next floor of stairs.
He hears two guards starting to yell to alert the building as they pull out their guns. He reacts instinctively pulls out his guns, silencers already screwed on, and shoots, killing them, spattering blood all over himself. He sighs in annoyance and continues down the stairs until he gets to the fourteenth floor.
He cracks the door open and peers out, revealing a long, dim hallway lined with guards, cameras and many other variables to get caught by. Itsuki growls, he just has to get to the control room at the end of the hallway. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, plan B it is.
He grabs his two guns and opens his eyes, kicking open the door and running down the hallway using his enhanced speed. He shoots the guards in before they can even raise their guns. He eventually gets to the end of the hall with corpses lining his path.
He opens the door slowly to see a dark room, the only light coming from the computer screens lining the walls. Two guys in the room stare at the computer screen; one with data, and the other for surveillance. The surveillance guy just sits there horrified and shaking, in shock from watching Itsuki kill all those guards. He tenses up and slowly turns towards Itsuki, opening his mouth to scream. Itsuki quickly fires and hits him between his eyes, blood going everywhere.
The other notices and turns around, eyes wide. "Wha-" he was cut off by Itsuki's bullet striking his head. Brain fragments and blood explode from his head and spatters all over the computer monitors. Itsuki walks into the room and closes the door behind him, leaving him in the darkness.
His eyes narrow in disgust. "Gross," he mutters. He walks over to the surveillance computer and deletes the recent footage of him and loops the previous of the guards. He then moves onto the data computers. He scowls when he sees the corpse, and he tries not to touch it as he pushes it off the chair and onto the floor. He sits down into the chair and wipes, well, smears blood across the screen. He growls in frustration, why did killing someone always ended up in a bloody mess? He pushes it out of his thought process and continues with his hacking.
He plugs into system and breaks through all the firewalls and viruses. He quickly accesses the database of Black Mask's entire system. He now has access to all of his dirty little files and top secret schemes. All records of drug and crime trades of present day and upcoming. All schedules of shipments for the next six months. All now stored in the super computer implanted into his brain. All this information now his to use to destroy the very base Gotham's crime thrives upon.
"I wonder if Allison is alright?"
His eyes widen in realization, it's quiet. Too quiet. A wave of nervousness washes upon him. A string of thoughts cloud his mind.
"Why hasn't Allison made it back down here yet? Did something go wrong? If it did our cover would've been blown and the alarm would be set off. But it isn't. Did Allison even set up the device yet? Did it break? If it did she would at least try to contact me...something isn't right. This is far too easy. Something must have happened to Alli-"
Alarms go off in Itsuki's head. He instantly unsheathes his sword and spins around slicing a three-point dart about to strike him. His blade glows from the soft multicolored light from the computers. He glances down at the dart and then looks up in the direction where it was fired. He sees no one. His right eye switches to infrared and scans the room for heat signatures. A figure appears and a smirk forms on Itsuki's lips. "Bingo."
The invisible man appears, the darkness an advantage for him. His black eyes glare at Itsuki through his black ninja mask with red streaks through it. He looks around the same age as him.
The new man pulls out a dagger and charges towards Itsuki. Itsuki jumps up and dodges the man's strike, the man reacting quickly. The man swipes his blade at Itsuki, cutting his cheek. The man backs away to see Itsuki's semi-shocked expression. Itsuki turns his head to the side, cracking his neck, a deep chuckle vibrating from his chest. Itsuki looks back at the ninja man, his cut healing before his eyes.
"Is this the best you can do?" Itsuki taunts.
A smirk forms behind the man's mask, his dark eyes narrowing. "No," he says in a cocky voice, "I'm just getting started." His grip tightens around the dagger and he bolts at the cyborg. Itsuki ducks and maneuvers around him but the ninja sees him. The man jabs his elbow at Itsuki's nose. Itsuki falters and staggers back, holding his nose, blood rushing down. Itsuki wipes the blood away, smearing it all over his face.
The man charges towards him, dodging Itsuki's punch and stealing his sword from its sheath. He slams Itsuki against the wall with the sword against his throat.
Itsuki's eyes narrow and he glares at him. "Who are you?"
The man smile, "Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Yes," Itsuki says coldly, "I always like to know the name of the man I'm about to kill."
The man growls. Itsuki knees the man in the stomach, the man falters and Itsuki elbows him in the cheek. The man scowls and kicks Itsuki in the shins, making him fall back, his head slamming against the floor.
The man points his dagger at him. "Hmph. At least you put up more of a fight than your partner."
Itsuki's eyes widen in rage. What have they done to Allison! Itsuki slams his foot onto the man knee, a loud pop following. He lets out a yell of pain and falls to ground. Itsuki grabs his dagger and sits on him to prevent escape.
Itsuki brings the blade to his throat and leans in.
"What did you do to Bastet?" he asks, his voice low and threatening.
The man gives Itsuki a smile from under his mask, "Like I would ever tell you."
Itsuki gives him a smile and then stabs the dagger into the man's hand, a scream escaping his clenched jaw. Itsuki twists the knife, the man reaches up and claws at Itsuki's arm. Itsuki scowls and twists harder to make the blade going deeper. "Tell me!" Itsuki yells, his tone almost panicked.
He chuckles, "It's probably too late anyway. He has her, so she's most likely dead by now."
Itsuki grip tightens around the handle of the dagger and he applies more force onto the hand. The ninja yells in pain.
"If she dies, then you die as well," Itsuki growls.
"Oh," the man says through his gritting teeth, "but I have orders so I can't die yet."
Itsuki's eyes widen in confusion, then it hits him. He tries to react as he sees the man reach for something. Itsuki lunges for the man's other hand as he digs in his pocket, but it's too late. Suddenly a current of electricity pours through Itsuki's body. He lets out a cry of pain as he falls to the floor.
The man releases himself and picks up Itsuki's bag. He then drags Itsuki's semi-conscious body out of the room, down the bloody hallway, and to the elevator. He slams Itsuki against the steel walls of the elevator, Itsuki letting out pained grunt. His eyes slightly flutter and he glares up at the ninja who presses the button to go up. His eyes drift to the number above going up... 16...17...18...
His eyes drift back to the man who acts calmly, Itsuki grits his teeth. He won't just sit here and be captured, he has to find Allison and get out of here.
Itsuki grabs onto the cool metal wall and tries to pull himself up. He man notices and kicks him down. He kicks Itsuki in the face for good measure.
The man stops and then kicks him one last time in the stomach. Itsuki curls up in a ball on the cold floor in pain. He coughs up his own blood and breathes heavily against the metal, making it fog up. Itsuki looks up at the man through his eyelashes, flashing him a bloody smile, he can feel his body regenerating already but it won't last long. He can feel his body losing energy by the second, he has to hurry.
Itsuki jumps up and attacks the man, punching and clawing as they wrestle in the enclosed elevator. Itsuki bites the man, he yells in pain. The man struggles to get Itsuki off of him.
Suddenly the door opens and the man shoves Itsuki in the chest, making him fly back out of the elevator. He lands on his back against the hard floor, the world spinning. He mumbles and sits up, holding his head, his black hair falling in front of face. Itsuki looks around to see six people around him. One being the ninja jerk, the two from earlier and three in front of him he's never seen before. The man in front was shocked to see him, but he looks more angry than surprised. He's dark and gloomy, not to mention the gruesome scars across his extremely pale face. A scowl was placed on his lips, showing long fangs.
"Of course she picks you," he growls.
Red catches Itsuki's attention out of the corner of his eye, his eyesight drifts towards it as he sits still in shock. There he sees Allison unconscious on the ground, a little puddle of blood surrounding the side she is laying on. Shadows circle around her like a cocoon, trapped in a deep slumber.
Itsuki acts fast, trying to go towards her. Someone tackles him before he can reach her. They go tumbling on the ground, Itsuki releases himself from the attacker's grip and sees who tried to stop him. His eyes narrow when he sees the man with blue eyes and black hair crouching in his way, glaring as if saying to stay away from his pray. Itsuki snarls at him, his eyes drifting to Allison.
"What have they done to her?"
"Daretrix!" A feminine voice says in sort of panic. Itsuki looks to see the blonde girl lightly touch the ninja's shoulder in a flirtatious way. "What happened to you?"
The ninja, Daretrix, rolls his eyes and shoves her hand off of his shoulder. "He didn't come willingly," he growls.
"Of course he didn't," an edgy voice says. making everyone stiffen. Itsuki sees the dark man practically glide towards him. Itsuki guessed he's leader of the group. The man's scowl turns into a twisted smirk. "The rebellious genuine pig wouldn't do such a thing as obey."
Itsuki eyes narrowed at the word genuine pig, he didn't enjoy the insult. Not to mention the fact the enemy recited something of his past. He doesn't have a good feeling about this. His left eye scans him and it turns out positive, the dark man is a magic user. He chuckles in amusement.
The man smiles and snaps his fingers. Suddenly a teenaged guy with chain tattoos twisting around his arms comes into focus. Itsuki starts to shift backwards trying to get way, an instinct telling him to run. The teen suddenly releases chain-like whips towards Itsuki, wrapping around him like a metal rope, trapping him.
"Thank you Chain," the dark man purrs.
"Umm Hex?" asks another feminine voice, lower than the first one. Itsuki's gaze turns to a woman in a wolf helmet. "Why aren't you doing your thing?" Her voice sounds unsure and confused, like she's afraid to speak out of turn towards Hex.
Hex rolls his eyes and turns towards her with a ugly snarls across his lips, "Because dearie, it won't work on him! I can't use my power of fear against someone who can't feel it! And if I possess him, he'll only go into a berserk state and kill us all!" His voice rises with anger. The woman slowly backs away in fear.
"Rough day, duh?" Itsuki comments snarkily. Hex instantly turns around, a new emotion in his eyes. Bloodlust. Itsuki knows that look too well.
"Yes," Hex hisses, "Very rough day." Hex glares at Itsuki for a moment while stroking his chin thoughtfully, then he smiles. "For you two anyway," he mumbles.
Itsuki's eyes widen as Hex holds out his hand towards Allison, his fingers curling into a fist. Allison stiffens as she lets out a bloodcurdling scream, tears streaming down her face.
Itsuki squirms and thrashes in the chains only making them tighter around him, crushing him, making it hard to breathe. "Stop it," he yells at Hex, "leave her alone!"
Hex releases her and Allison calms back down to her comatose state. Itsuki lets out a relaxed sigh, uneasiness falls upon him. Hex knows his loyalty towards his teammates and that he would put himself in harm's way to protect any of them. He needs to keep Allison safe and make sure the focus is on him.
Hex turns on his heel and walks toward the wolf woman. "Midnight Belle," he barks at her.
"Yes," she says, stiffening like a soldier.
Hex's shoulder brushes hers and he smiles against her helmet, "I'm going back to my meeting, take care of this." He takes a step back, and turns away from her.
"What should I do with them?" she asks curiously.
His head turns slightly towards her, a wicked smile placed on his lips. "Take the girl and dispose of the boy."
Itsuki thrashes against his chains, "I won't let you take her!" He snarls at Hex.
Hex laughs, not even turning to face Itsuki before replying. "You're only a cheap copy of something great. You think you can stop us and save your teammate?"
"Yes," Itsuki replies coldly, a determined look in his eyes, "Those words don't change the fact of what I am but I know what I'm capable of."
With that Hex vanishes in a cloud of darkness. The others start to surround Itsuki, ready to kill him. Panic rises in Itsuki as his eyes dart around the room looking for a solution, any solution. His eyes land on his bag and an idea pops in his head, a crazy plan but it might work. Chain's hold on him tightens and he sees Daretrix raise his dagger to strike.
"Good grief, dip, do a little slide," Itsuki shouts, catching their attention. Daretrix pauses and stares at Itsuki, trying to figure out why he just said that. Itsuki smirks and then spits some blood at Chain making him jump a little. The chains loosen a bit, and Itsuki uses his enhanced strength to wiggle out. Daretrix comes at him, and Itsuki wraps his legs around Daretrix's leg making him trip. Itsuki kicks Daretrix hard in the face, knocking him out.
Itsuki sees a chain coming at him from the corner of his eye, Itsuki turns and grabs the chain before it latches on to him. Itsuki's eyes widen in pain as fire burns his hand, he looks down to see the chain engulfed in flames. Claws suddenly dig into his back, Itsuki turns his head a little to see two murderous blue eyes. Another chains comes at into view, Itsuki lets go of the other chain and head butts the guy behind him. Itsuki ducks just in time for the other chain to whack the clawed man in the face.
Itsuki jumps in the direction of his bag and tumbles in a roll on the ground. He lands on his knees and reaches into his bag to grab his extra gun. He aims the gun towards the group of enemies, his eyes darkening in a threatening manner. They wisely choose to stay away from Itsuki, only eyeing him from a distance. Itsuki slowly gets up and swings his bag over his shoulder, his gun aimed at their heads. He strolls over toward Allison, a sudden chill running down his spine. Something just doesn't seem right to him.
A sharp cold pain surges through his leg, Istuki screams. He looks down to see a shard of sharp thin ice sticking out from the ground stabbing into his leg. Another wall of sharp ice merges at his side, cutting deep into his side, blood immediately rushing out. Itsuki tries to reach for his side, but another ice shard strikes his arm. Itsuki drops his gun from the shock.
He looks over lazily at the enemy, his eyesight suddenly starting to get a bit blurry. He sees the blonde smiling evilly at him, Itsuki guesses the ice is from her. Itsuki focus on Midnight Belle as she suddenly blurs and a second later materializes in front of him, her fist ready to strike. Itsuki's eyes widen, but it's too late. Her fist makes contract with Itsuki's cheekbone right beside his left eye. Itsuki collapses on the ground, ice scraping and cutting him on the way down. Itsuki feels a heavy pressure in his chest, unable to breath. He's suffocating. His vision keeps changing, not really focusing on one thing. He lets out a pain-laced scream, he looks to see a long sharp shard of ice embedded into his side, piercing his hip.
Itsuki pushes his torso up using the limited amount of strength left. He sees Midnight Belle's foot coming at him from the corner of his eye. Itsuki kicks her in the leg before she kicks him. She comes down hard, her head hitting the floor. Itsuki uses his enhanced speed and strength as he punches her in the helmet, cracking it. Itsuki stares back at her with his fist raised, he glares at her. She tries to punch back but Itsuki grabs her fist and applies pressure. She screams in pain as he can hear her bones starting to crack.
Movement catches his attention as he sees the other teammates advancing forward. Itsuki scrambles to his feet and shakily runs towards Allison, scooping her in his arms. The shadows disappear at his touch. He looks back and gets clawed across the cheek. Itsuki staggers back and glares at the blue eyed man as he sees the fresh blood drip from his clawed fingers. Chains fly in his direction, Itsuki dodges and looks for a way out. He scans furiously and sees an option. He sighs and runs towards the window.
He can feel a chill around him as he sees the ice advancing towards him, but he keeps running, feeling himself starting to wear down. Itsuki places a hand on Allison's head to support it and takes a leap.
Glass shatters around him as he stares out at the dark clouded sky and bright city of Gotham, shouts of irritation in the muffled distance. A wave of shock and adrenaline rushes through him as the sudden noises of the city below alarm him. Then it hits him, the fall. The wind picks up around him, the speed of gravity weighing down on them. He notices Allison's eyes starting to flutter open. He sighs in relief and the darkness around him closes around him.
Allison wakes up to falling from a thirtieth floor window to their deaths with Itsuki passed out while holding her. Allison freaks. She screams at the top of her lungs, Itsuki's grip around her starts to loosen. Allison flips, she looks around in a panic to find a solution. She sees Itsuki's bag, hope flickers in her eyes. She quickly grabs it and reaches inside, digging around to find something that can save them. The ground gets closer and the stress overpowers Allison. Allison grabs something and she holds Itsuki close to her. She pulls out the grappling hook gun and fires towards the nearest roof top. Luckily it catches on to something, pulling them from their drop to death. Allison and Itsuki get launched in the air as they land hard on the concrete ceiling. Allison tumbles and rolls, getting scrapes and bruises. Her head gets fuzzy from the impact and the world starts to spin. Her side hurts and she can barely move from the deep cut. She holds her side, her warm blood running over her stained fingers. She looks over and sees Itsuki's unconscious body. She crawls over towards him and turns him over to see him clearly. She gasps in horror.
Several cuts cover his face, alone with blood and fresh bruises. A few large gashes are on his side, arms and legs. An ice shard is buried deep in his side. Itsuki is barely breathing and literally covered in blood.
Allison's breath catches in her throat, she begins to feel the panic starting to escalate within. She feels so helpless. Her teammate is seriously injured and so is she, plus she was out of it most of the mission. Flashes of the man come back. Allison curls herself on the cold concrete floor, with tears streaming down her cheeks. Fear consumes her and she starts to hyperventilate. She can't calm down. She hates feeling so helpless, she feels like she's failed the team.
It hits her...the team.
She scurries over to the bag in pain. She digs furiously within the bag and pulls out a cell phone. She dial's Evangeline's number and waits for her to answer. The ringing gets annoying and Allison begins to have the urge to scream at the phone.
"Hello?"
"Evangeline!" Allison yells at the phone, "Help! Itsuki is really hurt and passed out. I'm injured too and and and-"
"Hold on! Calm down Allison!"
"NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!"
"Okay. Okay," Evangeline's voice is calm and controlled. Allison calms down a bit from hearing the tone of her voice. "Jalen and Despina are on their way to come help. They'll be there soon, just hold on."
"Alright," Allison replies, calming down a bit. Evangeline hangs up.
Exhaustion catches up with Allison and she glances back at Itsuki. The world starts to spin and Allison falls on the concrete floor next to Itsuki, fainting.
