From Brookland to Brecon Revised~ Adopted~ 21

Fallenqueen2: A big thanks to all my reviewers and readers and everyone. Sorry if it's kind of crap, projects for college are killing me slowly. Also please don't kill me slowly because of the last chapter!

Please keep in mind this story is rated T for a reason!

Disclaimer: I do not own the awesome characters of ALEX RIDER; I wish I did because if I did this totally would have happened.

Chapter 21

Ansgar was rather pleased with himself and he had every right to be. What so many before him had failed to do he had succeeded. He had killed Alex Rider. There was no way that Rider could have survived that fall combined with that bullet wound. Ansgar won, SCORPIA won, and Ansgar knew just where to announce Rider's death 1st. The very place he was striding toward with a unit of trained and armed assassins to back him up. Beacon Brecon.

"Attention lame ass SAS soldiers!" Ansgar announced in his loudest voice causing 3 units that seemed to be training a bunch of school kids to spring into attack, they formed a circle around the kids, keeping them protected as they trained their weapons on the SCORPIA agents.

"Who the hell are you?" Wolf growled angrily.

"Ansgar, SCORPIA's newest and number one assassin." Ansgar bragged, the older and better trained assassin's behind him shifted slightly, they wanted to disagree but this kid had killed THE Alex Rider so they didn't really want to speak up.

"Ansgar… Isn't that the threat Cub went to go take of in Canada?" Ben asked Yassen in a low, very worried tone, Cobra nodded slightly. "Perfect." Ben muttered.

"I am here to tell you all some news and give you all the chance to become part of SCORPIA." Ansgar made it sound like it was a once in a life time chance and if they didn't take it they would miss out on the best thing ever. The whole camp knew better than that. Hell even the kids knew better than that.

"What makes you think we will join you?" Tom shouted at the teenaged assassin.

"I'm SO glad you asked. I, Ansgar have killed MI6's golden spy and SAS legend. Alex 'Cub' Rider." He announced, placing his hands on his hips and a huge smile on his face.

"NO!" Katie and Sarah sobbed, turning to their boyfriends, who hugged them just as shaken up. Tom blinked rapidly to stop tears from welling up. K Unit stood their ground in shock, no way this upstart killed Alex, there was just no way!

"You're lying." Tom shouted out again.

"I'm positive that no one could survive a fall from a helicopter with a bullet in them." Ansgar smirked back and Tom's face went white as a sheet.

"You are lying." He gritted out again.

"Don't worry boy, soon you will be joining him." Ansgar cocked his gun and aimed it at Tom who glowered at the teen as if saying 'do it if you dare.' As Ansgar's finger twitch on the trigger a sharp kneeing sound rang out through the air and the blade of a kitchen knife embedded itself into Ansgar's back. The teen dropped his gun and went down howling in pain.

"Ansgar, next time when you shoot someone aim for either their head or their heart. Shoulder wounds don't tend to keep you down for long." A voice rang out, everyone's head snapped up to see the outline of a blonde teenager in the headlights of a jeep, holding another knife in one hand and a gun loosely gripped in the other. Alex Rider was back.

-An hour before-

"Uhhh," Alex moaned in pain, his whole body was stiff as a board, his shoulder felt numb. He wasn't exactly sure what was going on but he wasn't dead so it was a start.

"Ah you had me worried there young man. I was unsure if you were going to wake up today." A soothing voice reached Alex's ears and he peeled his eyelids back and squinted into the bright light that shone down on him from a bare bulb hanging from the ceiling.

"What happened? Where am I?" Alex asked warily as the memories rushed back. Ansgar shot him in his shoulder and managed to shake him out of the helicopter into the forest below. There was no way he should have lived through that, but he had a tendency to live through things he shouldn't.

"I was walking through the woods on my daily hike and found you kid laying on a large pile of leaves and branches, a bullet in your shoulder. Lucky for you that I am doctor of sorts." The man moved into the light and Alex had to swallow hard to stop from emptying his stomach.

The man was missing his left eye and like normal people didn't wear an eye patch to cover up the eyeless socket. He was bald with scars tracing down different sections of his skull, he was indeed wearing a white lab coat. He had a mean look about him with cruelty glinted in his eyes. Alex knew that glint and his internal danger alarm was blaring loudly. Alex tried to move but something tugged at his hand, he looked down and saw an IV inserted into one of his veins, pumping him full of some sort of drug. He made a feeble attempt to move his other hand to yank out the IV, but the numbness had spread all the way down to his fingertips on that one side.

"My 'victims' as they are now called, know me as the Cutter. See I was a eye surgeon, but after I lost my eye they say I went mad when instead of replacing the eyeball I simply left it out and left my 'victims' to be half blind like me." Cutter explained as he ran his fingertips down Alex's injured shoulder and down to his hip. Alex shied away from the man's touch, he had a bad feeling of where this was heading.

"You see I haven't been able to examine a proper, young retina in quiet a while, but you son. Have beautiful eyes and I can't wait to slice them open. Now I have to prep a few things but then I can operate and the world will sounds better, everything will be dark forever but your other senses will be heightened so it's not too bad." Cutter said in an overly cheery voice as he gently applied pressure to the scalpel he had placed on Alex's face, just below his right eye. He drew a short line and watched as it bled down Alex's face. With a twisted smile Cutter placing the bloodied scalpel by Alex's numb hand as he turned to prep more instruments.

Alex closed his eyes as panic flashed across his mind and heart as his cheek throbbed. He couldn't let this nut job take his eyes, if only he could move. Alex pursed his lips as he brought his hand with the IV inserted in it up to his lips. He braced himself for pain as he latched his teeth onto the needle and yanked it out of his vein. He spat out the needle and he could feel the numbing feeling starting to disappear. His fingers fumbled around until he felt cold metal, he closed his hand around the scalpel Cutter foolishly left there.

Silently raising his hand up he moved his legs up underneath him and crouched swaying slightly there for a moment or to before launching himself at Cutter's turned back and stabbed the scalpel deep into his shoulder. Alex clung to the man's back as he yelled and tried to get Alex off him, while struggling Alex managed to grab a heavy jar filled with some sort of acid. Using all his remaining strength he crack it across Cutter's head, he quickly jumped back onto the table he had been laying on before as Cutter screams increased as the acid and glass cut and burned against his skin. He collapsed to the floor, eyes closed and his body seizing every so often.

Alex shook his head and worked out his joints as he exited the lab type room into a normal wooden cottage. He spotted his blood torn jacket with his gun and extra bullets inside the lining hanging on the back of a metal dinning room chair. Alex spotted a rack with some large chef knives hanging down from its place bolted in the kitchen wall.

He grabbed 4 of them and stashed them in his combat boots that Yassen gave him; they had little compartments to store knives on each side of the boots. He pulled on his jacket and checked out his gun. He loaded a magazine and with the safety on he shoved it into his leg hoister. He spotted a map that had hiking trails marked out on it, so Cutter hadn't lied about that.

So he was only around 10 miles out from BB, but how was he going to get there? The answer came in the form of a set of metal, shining car keys. Alex picked them up and gave a feral grin. He knew Ansgar was going to do something dramatic. After all he had been trained by SCORPIA and he knew just were Ansgar was going to announce his 'death'.
