-Souma Uchiha's POV-
James: "Well, I'll be heading to my office. I still have work to do. If anything happen, do call. Do you still have the alarm I gave you."
I checked my pocket and took out a small alarm beacon, it works like this. Press the button, the General and his men will be alerted if I'm in any danger...I don't know why he gave me this but I have a feeling it has something to do with my eyes.
He smile when he saw it and wave goodbye.
James: "I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight Souma."
Souma: "Goodnight General."
After my little adventure with the Schnee...I felt exhausted for some reason...hmm maybe the general was right, I've been pushing myself lately. I checked my scroll to see Trevor's message.
Trevor: "Yo! How's Atlas, Ana's been listless since you left and Sam won't stop bugging me to cook pancakes for her...please come back. I mean seriously, come back."
I smile as I was about to reply to him, I received a notification in our group message.
Lily: "Yo Souma...there's a package for you, Ana went to put it in your room so when you're back it's there."
Sam: " Oooooo! What did you buy? *Excited Emoji* Pancake making machine! Can I open it!"
Souma: "NO!"
Sam: "*Sad Emoji*"
Sam: "I'll just go an open it."
Souma: "Sam I swear if you go anywhere near my package, I'll stop making you pancakes. *Angry Emoji*"
Trevor: "AHAAHAHAH! DO IT!"
Souma: "Don't bloody encourage her!"
Ana: "Souma your package is in your room...don't worry I hid it from Sam, I'll tell you where it is when you get back. *Thumbs Up*."
Souma: "Thanks Ana! *Kissing Emoji*"
Ana: "..."
As I was about to reply to her I hear someone calling out to me.
Hotel Receptionist: "Welcome back sir, did you have a great time outside? Atlas is truly a spectacular place."
I turn to see the Hotel Receptionist smiling at me as he spoke.
Souma: "Yes it was, Atlas is truly a beautiful place."
Hotel Receptionist: "Ah before you go..."
I see him going under his desk searching for something...he then place a package on the table.
Hotel Receptionist: "A package was delivered here stating that it must be delivered to you by hand...here you go sir."
He hand me my package..I shake it lightly to hear something metallic inside.
Hmm, I wonder what's inside?
I went inside the elevator while holding my package...while waiting I look up to see the elevator's camera looking at me.
*Ding*
The elevator door slowly open...as I walk I look to see a maid cleaning outside a room...she smile and bow. I nod and smile back and continue walking.
Hmm...As I walk down this long hallway, I felt like I was being watched...was it the general's men?
I shrug and arrived at my door...as I enter my room I notice something.
Someone was in my room...was it the maid?
I place the package down on a table and take my clothes off...ah I need a shower.
-Meanwhile elsewhere-
-Clark Tod's POV-
Ah, after dealing with a thorny rose I find myself sitting comfortably while drinking my warm tea.
Soldier: "Sir, target has arrived and received his package."
Clark: "Good. Proceed to the next phase lieutenant."
He salute and left the room...I then hear a groggy sound coming from behind. I turn and have a smile on my face.
Clark: "Ah..You're awake, good we wouldn't want you to miss out the fun."
I see Summer Rose waking up from her slumber..
Summer: "Where am I?"
Clark: "We're on a ship heading towards Atlas to pick young Souma."
Summer: "What!?"
She grab her cell door and glare at me in anger...it's funny seeing her like this yet understandable...her face reminds me of mother.
I push my glasses back and smile.
Clark: "We'll be there in a few hours...I mean aren't you glad you'll be meeting your son again."
Summer: "Bastard! If anything happens to him."
I groan loudly.
Clark: "Yes, Yes, you'll kill me...we've already established that yet here you are in a cage."
She glare at me with such intensity.
Clark: "Oh on this very night my dear, is the night we get to see Souma's true face."
Just thinking about it makes me feel like a child waiting for Christmas.
Clark: "Do you know the source of power for the Sharingan?...It's hate, the more emotionally stress the boy suffer the more powers he'll get. I'm curious to see what it is AHAHAHAHAH!"
I see her grit her teeth then look down...oh my is she feeling helpless knowing her son will be attack.
Clark: "Oh don't feel to bad...here, let's watch how young Souma fare."
-Souma Uchiha's POV-
I walked out of the shower drying my hair...ah much better. I then hear something buzzing.
*Buzzing*
I look around to see the package vibrating...ooookaaaay.
I walk up to it and unwrap the package...a large scroll.
I place the box down and hold the scroll in my hand.
I then receive a video call...I press accept to see a man sitting in his chair while drinking tea while I hear a music being played in the background.
(Matsuo Hayato - Der Freischütz Nr. 9 Terzett)
Clark: "Hello...hello? Is it on? Can he see me.
Soldier: "It's on sir."
Souma: "Who are you?"
Clark: "Ah he can see me good. Well hello young Souma, I've been looking forward to this meeting for a long time now...bearer of the Sharingan."
I felt uncomfortable as I heard him...he knows about the Sharingan...is he one of the General's men...no...the flag behind him. I recognized it. It's Vacuo.
Souma: "What do you want?"
Clark: "Oh come now, I'm being friendly here...look even your mother is upset with your attitude."
*Snap*
A light shine behind me...he slowly stand and push his chair to his side...My Sharingan immediately activate for what I see.
Mom...
I see her locked in a cage looking bruised and damaged.
Souma: "MOM!"
Summer: "..Sou...ma.."
Souma: "YOU BASTARD WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
Clark: "AHAHAHA CALM YOURSELF BOY! MY GODS LOOK MEN THE SHARINGAN HAS FINALLY SHOWN ITSELF! THE LEGENDS ARE TRUE!"
I see him laughing maniacally...he's insane...calm yourself. I need to get the general's men next door.
I start leaving my room and knock on the door...no answer.
Clark "You can open the door young Souma...I think you should see and appreciate the time and effort I took in meeting you."
I gulp and slowly turn the doorknob. I open the door and enter the room, as I went in I saw a disturbing sight...six of the general's men is lying dead in the room I look towards the wall to see the Uchiha Clan symbol painted in blood on the wall.
Clark: "Did you like it!?"
Souma: "YOU'RE INSANE!"
Clark: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! What a proper reaction and yet...you feel nothing towards them..hmm is it because you were attached to them?"
*Snap*
One of his soldier walks towards mother holding a stun baton.
*ZAP*
Summer: "AAARGH"
I tighten my grip on the scroll causing a small crack on the screen, my Sharingan won't stop revolving as I see her being torture.
Souma: "STOP! PLEASE STOP!"
Clark: "Oh my...you can stop that, I don't like hearing our guest suffer."
Souma: "What do you want?"
I ask as I glare at him...I press the button on signalling the general of my distress.
Clark: "How rude...calling for uninvited guests..fortunately we've set up a jammer to prevent such a thing."
Damn it...he's prepared for this as well. He really wants to meet me huh?...What does he want?
Clark: "If you're wondering why I'm doing this...it's simple really, I just want to meet you that's all."
Souma: "A call would have suffice."
I said it sarcastically.
Clark: "Oh but you'll hang up."
Damn him.
Clark: "Anyways enough game, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Clark Tod, a researcher for Vacuo...I've been researching a ruin here in Vacuo for the past years."
A ruin!?
Clark: "Yes, I know all about you...well what I've managed to learn that is. The war between the Senju and the Uchiha yet something been bothering me...how are you still alive? The war was Eons ago before Grimm even existed."
I look at him feeling confused I didn't care what he said...all I care about is my mother behind him.
He then notices this and smile.
Clark: "If you want, you can visit her...all you have to do is come to me and we'll have a civilized discussion and when we're done you and your mother are free to walk and live your lives as if nothing happens."
I grind my teeth as I look at him...I doubt he'll let us go.
Summer: "...Sou..ma...don't..listen...to..him."
I hear my mother speak causing my blood to boil...I want to tear this man's head from his body.
Clark: "Soon few of my men will visit you and bring you to a undisclosed location where you'll be waiting for my arrival. When we arrive you'll see your dearest mother and we'll have a talk."
I then hear noises outside...I close my eyes and concentrate...six men..armed..
Clark: "Don't make it difficult or your mother will suffer."
I see two men enter the room pointing their guns at me.
I ended the call.
Soldier: "Come with us."
I can only nod and follow them...
As I leave with them I see the group waiting for me...trained soldiers...
As I walk into the elevator with them I'm tempted to kill them...but I felt a gun on my back..damn.
*Ding*
Hotel Receptionist: "Ah Sir...going out for a nigh..."
The hotel receptionist immediately kept his mouth shut after seeing a group of armed men...he quickly hid himself...well...there goes my knight in shiny armor.
As we went out, I see a large black van waiting for us...
One of the soldier push me, signalling me to enter the van.
Soldier: "Drive."
The driver nods and proceed to drive us out...I sits in the middle of them, I hear one of them talking to the doctor saying I'm in the van.
I recall what my mother had said.
Summer: "When you do go against an enemy...don't hesitate. Promise me you'll do whatever it takes to come back to me in one piece."
I see the driver turning the knob, statics can be heard at first but eventually the radio played a music.
(Korn - Word Up)
I activate my Sharingan and look at the man next to me, he sees my eye and felt dread...he quickly took out his gun to shoot at me.
Soldier 01: "WHAT THE FUCK!"
I quickly grab his gun and shove the gun away from my face.
*Bang*
He shot the man next to me as I dodge the bullet, seeing that he shot his friend in the head he quickly grab my neck.
'Chidori Eisō' (Chidori Sharp Spear)
*Electric SFX*
I stab the man in his arm causing him to drop his gun, he groan and proceed to punch my face. I push my hand deeper as he bleed then I then felt a garrote on my neck behind me. The soldier behind me tries to strangle me..I look around and kick the driver in front me. The Soldier sitting in the front passenger seat tries to grab my feet. I raise my hand and use Chidori on him..
*Slice*
Soldier: "AAAAAARRRRGGHH!"
Driver: "STOP HIM ALREADY!"
His hand got chop trying to grab my leg, he begins screaming in pain...he use is other hand and hold a gun...his aiming for my head and shot his gun...My Sharingan slowly spin as I see the bullet coming for me in slow motion. I immediately use Lightning cloak Chakra mode to cut the garrote wire...I duck and the bullet hit the man's head behind me.
*WhisperWhisperWhisper*
From there all hell break lose.
The man's arm I stabbed tries to grab me again only to be kick in the head, the kick was strong enough that his head smash through the window, I immediately grab the broken shard causing my hand to bleed as I held on to it tightly I raise it and stab the man's neck before he could even scream. After killing him and hearing him choke in his own blood. I felt the man jump towards me from behind and tries to strangle me...my body fell onto the floor trying to get him off of me.
As I struggle to breathe I use what's remains of my concentration and use Lightning cloak Chakra mode to electrocute him. His body immediately jolt upward causing him to crash onto the roof I then use 'Chidori Eisō' (Chidori Sharp Spear) to stab him as he fall on top of me piercing the van's roof. I push him aside only to be tackle by two other men.
Punches and kicks were flying in the back seat while the driver tries desperately to gain control of the van..it nearly swerve at a few occasions.
I see a man next to me raising his gun...I kick the man and avoided getting shot.
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
As I kick him he shot the van's roof multiple of time as he fell. From an outside perspective, people can see flashes of lights inside the van as gunshot can be heard.
Soldier 06: "Damn you."
Souma: "Die"
I perform a quick hand seal and yell out.
Souma: "Suirō no Jutsu!" (Water Prison Technique)
I spit out water filling the van with water...the soldier begins panicking and try to open the door but the pressure was too much. I made an air pocket for me to breathe
'Suiton: Goshokuzame' (Water Release: Five Feeding Sharks)
Water sharks appear and begin attacking the men tearing their body apart limb from limb...The driver was chomp on his shoulder causing him to swerve the van crashing onto a car causing it to flip...as it flip the blue clear water slowly turn red as the soldier fell victim to the sharks.
*CRASH*
I kick the door open causing a torrent of red water to flow out...I begin coughing...gods...that made me sick..I nearly puke after seeing them being eaten alive...I walked towards the driver seat to see the mangled driver..I grab his scroll and walk away from the scene...need to call the general.
*Ding*
The scroll soon received a message.
I open to see a named location...the doctor will be there with mother...I have to go there now.
I message the General the location hoping he would mobilize his men quickly..he told me to stay put and wait for help...but I can't simply sit around...I need to save my mother. I shunshin my way there, jumping from roof to roof.
Hold on mom...I'll save you.
To Be Continue.
