Chapter 2: Date and fight with bitches
POV Harold Holmes-Hebert
It has been five days since my arrival at the Hebert house, I arrived on Monday, today is Friday.
In the short time I have been a guest in the Hebert home, I have learned several things that have helped calm my nerves.
First of all, restful sleep is a miracle medicine to soothe the nerves. With a clear head, I was able to realize that my fear of an attack by Simurgh is too irrational ... for now.
That flying lunatic with telekinetic powers only attacks people who change the world for the better.
That means until I invent the cure for cancer or release my future technology to the wide public I'll be fine.
Less revolutionary genius solving the world's problems, more mysterious vigilante fulfilling his selfish, childish desires.
Second important fact, I am extremely attractive, I mean it. Instead of being the real me, I am in the body of the character I invented.
The body of Harold Holmes-Hebert, looks an awful lot like Arthur Pendragon from Fate / Prototype.
181 inches tall, 68 kilograms in weight, visibly light and soft short blond hair, green eyes.
All I have to do is design a medieval fantasy armor is I will be a knight in shining armor that anyone dreams of as a child.
If I get the power of transformation into a girl or Magic Girl I will surely become a blunt copy of Saber Arturia or become yet another Saberface.
With such a face I can easily make friends with cute girls, become a folk hero or manipulate people using my Prince Charming charisma.
Third important fact, I am in November 20, 2010, Behemoth to just attack, so I have 3 months until Simurgh will attack Canberra, two months until Taylor should get his powers.
By my calculations I have six months to prepare for Leviathan's attack, enough time to prepare and plan on how to survive or even win this "game" of life and death.
I hope to obtain as quickly as possible an incredibly powerful exotic technology or the knowledge necessary to build anti-kaiju space weapons of mass destruction.
Certainly from the fear of a sudden and ruthless attack while defenseless, I've come to the fear of a race against time, something that threatens to destroy my nerves when the clock runs out to zero.
I'll do what I do with summer homework, have fun until the last 100 meters, go crazy after that and somehow get it done ... maybe if I believe it, it might actually work.
Back to the important facts, without Super-Taylor and his spy bugs around I can work in peace at night and during the days when Taylor goes to school and Danny works.
Before turning the old closet in the attic into a portal to Nardia ... my custom Nardia to build super fast cars.
I snuck into the garage to work on Danny's car, using the tools at hand I was able to fix many things to the Hebert-mobile's engine and suspension.
After testing my newly acquired skills I started working on my personal vehicle, a 1997 custom white Peugeot 406.
Currently the car has undergone several racing modifications that are mechanically hidden.
Maybe I can go by the name Daniel Morales and start participating in illegal racing to make some money.
Or become a cab driver and help the local police with crimes, but where do I find a bumbling cop/police inspector living with his widowed mother who needs a genius driver.
In addition to my job as a mechanic, I've become something of a Hebert housewife. After the first night of sleep, when I got to the kitchen to make breakfast, I got a new perk: Servant.
Not the kind of Servant Waifu from Nasuverse, but the classic domestic servant, an advantage that makes me the perfect British butler.
I was expecting something more technological or aesthetic, but being able to perform all sorts of household chores and maintenance work is something that is useful in everyday life.
After an awkward but tasteful and five-star looking breakfast, I ended up preparing all of the Heberts' meals and starting to repair the house, starting with the famous rotten step.
Danny needs to find himself a new woman or take antidepressants, if it wasn't for poor Taylor doing what she can with household chores, I'm sure this house would fall apart. Thankfully, I'm here now to fix it up piece by piece.
Maybe it's a waste of my time, but I can't defeat organized crime with a fast car and attitude.
Certainly I have the highest quality magic circuits, but so far using Magecraft I've managed to scan and improve simple tools and appliances, as well as find a way to break eggs on command, a little Overloaded Reinforcement is a great trick in the kitchen ... in the name of Akasha I became Shirou Emiya !
A weird, cute kid with a hero complex, novice Magus, obsessed with housework and fixing things, stuck on a path that will get him into a lot of trouble.
All that's missing is an incompetent adult and an abused younger girl who loves me ... Danny is an incompetent adult and ... Taylor is an abused younger girl ...
I'm a fucking parody of Shirou!
At least before I sacrifice myself to save the world I will definitely have sex with a cute girl, preferably one who is not Taylor.
Speaking of Taylor, I'm making progress with her, nothing romantic, but slowly she's learning with me.
After five days we are not best friends or brothers in anything but blood. Taking into account Taylor's social circle for her I am without a doubt the closest thing to a friend.
However, the number of times she has gotten nervous when I talk about computers, technology, movies, comics, heroes is dwindling.
I'm pretty sure I see her smile when I stand next to her and talk to her about what I've fixed in the house.
A weak smile, but sincere and adorable.
I am currently cleaning dishes while Taylor is reading a book and Danny is doing some accounting calculations on several sheets of paper.
Maybe I don't show it, but I'm slightly frustrated, for an unknown reason in the last few days the Celestial Forge hasn't given me any new gifts.
It continues to accumulate energy but at an incredibly slow rate to be null.
It might mean that I need to do something more exciting and stimulating instead of staying at the Heberts' house being a maid/housekeeper by day and a car mechanic by night.
Worm powers are sentient, in order to get valuable data they push their host into conflict, as well as drive them insane in some way or form.
In my case, my power is considered a sort of TV show ?
Should I do something interesting to get more power or try to talk to him/her?
Putting the dishes away, I leave the kitchen and go to the bathroom, lock the door and stand in front of the sink.
" I've seen enough movies, if my reflection starts talking it means I've gone crazy or my powers can communicate with me.
Miss/Mister Celestial Forge, I am happy to be chosen to get the privilege of wielding such a power, the environment is not perfect, Marvel and DC would be better in so many ways, but I can work with it.
I can't work if you don't give me the materials, though. Long story short, what would you like me to do in exchange for a small gift ... Go out of the house, take Taylor to the mall ... What am I doing, I'm talking to myself in a bathroom that needs to be cleaned, Danny you no longer get beans for dinner. The powers that be won't give me anything if I take Taylor out to have fun ... " I stopped talking because I just received a small gift from Celestial Forge, a wallet and/or credit card with $1000 in it, every month I will receive the same amount, a monthly allowance.
"What are the odds that my powers that be are actually Taylor fanboys and want me to help her to the best of my ability." I asked myself, incredulous that my crazy idea worked, maybe I didn't receive anything exotic, but $1,000,000 every month is something very worthwhile.
"If I ask him to give me a tour of the city and treat him to a nice dinner and a movie ... "
The Celestial Forge's core activated again, throwing a nice amount of energy into benefits coming from Toaruverse.
" Money, a lets pass for fancy hotels, cute clothes, eternal beauty and the Esper power to bring out sparks ... This is a joke for when I compared myself to Shirou Emiya or for saying that Sakura Matou and Taylor Hebert are similar. You know what I'm going to go change my clothes, let's talk later." I said hoping that my words stop being heard by the force behind my powers. I want to become the greatest genius inventor / blacksmith / Tinker in the world, not a cute boyfriend.
I pull the cosmic key out of my pockets and go to my pocket dimension to get the new credit card and new clothes that will automatically wipe off any dirt or stains.

POV Narrator
Fifteen minutes later, the Celestial Forge user has come down the stairs.
He is wearing a black coat with a long tail on the right side and a collar with a larger left side. There is a Brassard of color on the left bicep of the capote.
Underneath the coat he wears a tattered dark blue shirt.
Holmes' hands are covered by black gloves, and he is wearing a pair of jeans, with military style combat boots.
" Holmes are you feeling alright, you've been in the bathroom for a while." Danny asked slightly concerned about my gut health, before noticing his nephew's new clothes.
"This is the moment where you start the troubled teenage rebellion or dream of becoming a rock star." Muttered Danny, hoping his hitherto eccentric, kind, quiet, working nephew isn't starting to fall off the straight and narrow.
" In the bathroom I had a revelation !" Harold confessed, gaining the attention of both Danny and Taylor.
" What kind of revelation can you get in a bathroom ?" Taylor asked, taking his nose out of the Lord of the Rings book.
" If I'm going to live in a city controlled by Asian murderous gangs, extreme Nazis, dull drug addicts, I can't dress like a good rich kid.
So I changed my look to some kind of casual punk or high class punk or Victorian punk, if I had a monocle or a walking stick, my costume would be complete. But I'll settle for the umbrella." Holmes explained, pulling out an old umbrella that belonged to Danny's father, then doing several modeling positions.
Taylor oddly turns all red from her cousin's fashion presentation, murmuring under her breath, " Holmes has either gotten cuter or I like the bad boy look."
" If it's just a new style and you don't want to join a gang you can wear whatever you want, blue looks great on you." Said Danny, even a dull man like him can recognize that his nephew dressed in blue is a real heartbreaker.
" Tay-Tay it's your turn to get dressed! " Holmes said, pointing the umbrella at Taylor.
" What !?" Said Taylor, surprised by her cousin's statement.
"Tay-Tay ?" Danny muttered, repeating Taylor's pet nickname.
" Today is Friday, we young people, Friday night we need to go out and celebrate, we are teenagers we need to burn youth while we can." Holmes explained, making exaggerated gestures with his hands.
" Only three in the afternoon, a little early to be out clubbing." Danny asked, raising an eyebrow, not too sure what Holmes wants to do.
" I don't like to fly at night, the moon devours the breast of reason, the dark releases the dark soul of people, I want under the bright sun that cleanses the soul." Holmes explained, using his artist's language.
" Harold, you can say what you wish to do without using poems or abstract patterns, I'm a dock worker not an art critic."
"For the past five days I've been stuck in the house, the only interesting thing I do is fix the house, cook or do my art.
I'm bored, I want to go out, eat pizza, buy something, buy a cute girl ice cream, see a movie and be back before it gets dark.
I don't like the night or the dark in general, too many shady, scary people." Holmes explained, saying green in the face what he wants.
" If you want to go out why don't you do it yourself." Taylor stated, not wanting to go out or interact with other people any more than she has to.
" I don't know the city and I possess a bad sense of direction, I need a guide. From what I've seen, Tay-Tay, you don't have after school programs and you need to get out more than I do, maybe a more colorful outfit would be good, maybe a red sweatshirt or some accessories. Danny what do you think." Holmes said, shifting the discussion to Danny who is still processing the situation.
" Owl, I don't think hanging out with your cousin and having fun at the mall is going to hurt anyone." Danny gave his opinion, deciding that Holmes can take Taylor out of the house.
" I'm going to go change, but Harold will have to pay for anything we cover or consume." Taylor said, getting up from the chair and heading upstairs to change clothes.
" First of all call me H3 or Holmes, preferably Arno ! And please don't change your hairstyle or do your pigtails, I've already become a Shirou Emiya with Misaka Mikoto's sparkles, I don't want a Rin-style Tsundere or a Kohai like Kuroko." Said Holmes, referring to Nasuverse and Toaruverse, too bad these series do not exist in this world and no one can understand their meaning.
" Holmes, I'm glad to see that you are trying to make friends with Taylor, since Annette died, things have changed for the worse.
Your arrival in this house is helping a lot, Taylor seems to be smiling more often and I can see that the house looks a few years younger.
Will you promise to take care of Taylor." Danny asked, wanting to know if you can give Holmes his most prized possession.
" I will gladly." Holmes replied as a little voice in his head is thinking that the plan to create a Cyber-Khepri is becoming more and more improbable and impossible.

POV Holmes
Hanging out with Taylor as a tour guide was informative enough, I learned geography and where to go or not go if I don't want to get into trouble with gangsters.
I wasn't kidding when I said I was good at orientation, I'm not Zoro unable to go straight down the road, but I needed to keep Taylor close to me so I wouldn't get lost on the road.
Clearly the writers didn't go overboard when they didn't speak from the difference between the rich and poor areas of this city.
One street ruins with shoddy buildings with working class or underworld people, three streets over there are huge mansions, paved roads, cops around and lots of people in expensive clothes almost all white.
Brockton Bay City, capital of the neo-Nazis, is no exaggeration. I wonder why Nazis, among all the bad things they could be because they were Nazis, could not be Stalinists, Communists, Fascists.
Each of them is an evil to be eradicated, but Nazis seriously, they are the worst ever, they created Magneto and a lot of creepy stuff.
Personal note, kill Kaiser with a bomb or run him over with the batmobile, after destroying Empire 88, go to dear old Europe and continue the work of exterminating the HYDRA fanboys.
Ignoring geography and the difference between social and racial classes, Taylor and I arrived at the mall chock full of carefree teenagers and busy adults.
To make a long story short, Taylor and I walked the entire length of the mall.
A trip to a clothing store to get a blue scarf for me and a crimson jacket for Taylor, although I had to insist and say it was an early Christmas present.
I was also going to buy a fedora to complete my look, but Taylor convinced me not to, plus wearing a fedora might incite Contessa... it doesn't make any logical sense, but better not to tempt fate ... at least until I have confirmation that the Celestial Forge doesn't make me oracle proof etc.
We went to the bookstore, a place that both Taylor and I can appreciate from the bottom of our hearts.
I picked up a few classic books, a few volumes of Sherlock Holmes, The Count of Monte Cristo, Sun Tzu's The Art of War, and a biography of Napoleon Bonaparte.
I chose these books not only because I love Sherlock Holmes to the point of giving my character the same last name as the world's greatest detective, Batman, Conan and L don't count, as fantastic as they are, Sherlock Holmes was the first great Detective, so the title goes to the first person to arrive.
I chose these books to help me plan my future moves.
I need Sherlock Holmes to help me figure out how to solve the mysteries/crimes I'm sure to encounter in my hero career ... I need to decide on a name one of these days.
Count of Monte Cristo give me an example of how to act, plan and execute my schemes.
Sun Tzu and Napoleon Bonaparte are needed to deepen my tactical knowledge, know when to retreat and how to attack. An innate knowledge for warfare will be more than useful in dismantling a criminal organization.
Maybe using books picked up at a modest bookstore to learn how to fight crime isn't very bright, but I have to start somewhere.
Speaking of books, Taylor to soon a couple of fantasy books I've never heard of.
Seeing my rather unusual purchases a asked some questions about my tastes in literature, about how it is why I bought these books.
Taylor's amateur questioning soon turned into a very pleasant and stimulating discussion about mystery novels and especially about how Edmond Dantès carries out his revenge.
We had some differences on what Count Monte Cristo did, I say Edmond did what he had to do, a mix of revenge and justice.
Edmond Dantès to me was like a distant relative of Batman who never knew the golden rule, don't kill criminals.
Taylor believes that Edmond Dantes wasted years of his life planning his revenge, with the treasure he found he could have started a new life and left the past behind.
I may not be a certified psychologist, but even a blind man can see that the discussion of Edmond Dantès' motives for revenge, was taken personally by Taylor.
She does not want revenge or to punish her bullies, she just wants to be left alone. Which will never happen until Taylor or/and the environment changes.
The girl is sweet and naive in her own way, preferring to suffer pain instead of inflicting it. In this context Taylor reminds me of Ken Kaneki ... Taylor is Ken Kaneki combined with Sakura Matou ...
No wonder she is destined for suffering seems to be a combined caricature of all the tragedies in pop culture.
If you think about it there's a little bit of Batman because he took a parent, a little bit of Sakura because of the constant abuse, a little bit of Kaneki because of the trauma induced insanity and the insect/centopod theme, definitely there's Harley Quinn being both manipulated and corrupted by a person dressed in purple with a silver tongue, Joker for Harley, Tattletale for Taylor.
Putting Taylor's psychoanalysis aside, we are deciding whether to get ice cream or pizza before going to see a movie, then deciding what kind of movie to see.
After some small talk, I got a large ice cream with four cups, strawberry, cherry, melon, lemon, added some cream and candy.
Taylor a simple vanilla sundae, she besides the books not a minimum of taste in anything else, the abuse can explain why she dresses and acts like an emo girl, but taking a simple vanilla ice cream ... you need professional help, what was the name of the psychologist woman who cured the fairy queen?
Maybe get a gift that specializes in child therapy and maybe I fix Taylor, this I began to use hypnosis to remove the most traumatic memories.
I began to regret choosing to be an Electromaster Type Esper instead of a Telepathic Type Esper.
But taking into account Worm's huge fear of mind readers and how corrupting such a power can be to the user, better to be a simple lightning shooter than a mind reader, even if it will take me 10 years to get to level 5 and run a Ralingun of my own.
What Esper level do I need to be at to be able to manipulate technology and make my life much easier.
If I remember correctly, the Esper levels are:
Level 0, normal people who have powers that are weak to the point of nonexistence, but may have the potential to develop powers.
Level 1, my current level, powers at this level are able to bend a spoon, in my case turn on a light bulb ?
Level 2, powers not very useful in everyday life, still limited.
Level 3, powers are considered convenient in everyday life, from the point of view of skills this is the level where you start to be treated as part of the elite.
Level 4, powers to the extent that the wielder acquires a tactical value of military strength.
Level 5, powers such that the wielder can fight alone against a military force on equal terms. It will take 10 years to get to this level for me, 5 years maybe less if I start fighting Nazis and other criminals at least once every three weeks.
If I get a gift to help me in training I might decrease the time it takes to evolve even more.
The theoretical levels 6, Powers of a measure that are considered immeasurable. However, no one has yet been able to reach it. I could reach it in two hundred and fifty years, I can live that long, if I can live at least 2 years I consider myself lucky.
As we eat ice cream, we walk towards the movie theater, if Taylor proposes something sad and melancholy I will slap him.
This world is bleak enough for my taste, a comedy with some action does wonders for the mood or we can watch an action movie with Jason Statham, oddly enough I have a hankering to see a Fast & Furious marathon.
So far everything is falling into place, especially since the Celestial Forge core is filling up very nicely.
I feel it is just short of gaining numerous small benefits or a huge advantage. If I had more control over this power I would have targeted gifts regarding Nanotechnology and resources to build tools and gadgets.

POV Emma Barnes
My day just got wrecked and I felt terrible.
Of course, that's not the reason for feeling sick.
Oh no, the cause of the sickness is the view in front of me.
I was going to leave the coffee shop and go buy some new shoes and take a day to get ready for my next modeling job.
Instead, I was forced to watch as something the impossible happens.
Taylor smiles as she and an incredibly attractive foreign boy, walk through the mall together, each eating an ice cream.
This is ... impossible!
There is no way a weakling like Taylor could ever get a handsome guy!
As it happened, I don't even understand why the pretty boy would bother to date the ugly bitch!
He must have blackmail or something. Yes, that's it! There is no other explanation!
Maybe I can use this information to convince the handsome hunk to dump Taylor for me.
It doesn't have to be hard, the guy is too good looking for Taylor, I can have some fun with him, maybe even more.
Plus, it might even be enough to push Taylor over the edge!
XXX
POV Harold Holmes-Hebert
"Hey!" An unfamiliar and inexplicably irritating female voice is sounding strongly towards me and Taylor.
I easily notice that Taylor has petrified, all her muscles are tense and her eyes look theorized.
I have a pretty good idea of what or rather who is responsible for this mood change for Taylor.
Turning my head towards the source of the annoying voice.
I find exactly what I expected to find, I knew one day I would have to "reason" with these three bitches if I want to "solve" Taylor's problems.
At one from a nearby coffee shop are three girls who need a hard lesson in consequences.
A dark skinned, slender girl with long straight hair. Athletic build, thanks to her membership on the track team and probably her nighttime activities in the city. Her eyes are brown and about as tall as Taylor.
A tall, curvy redhead, pretty enough to be an amateur model, but not my cup of tea and not worth an accurate description.
Finally for the third wheel, an "adorable" girl, cute or petite.
She wears light blue pins in her shoulder-length brown hair and wore a strapless top and denim skirt.
Sophia Hess, Emma Barnes, Madison Clements stood in my way literally, they will learn never to make that mistake again.
"Hey Tay, I didn't expect to see you here." Emma said with mock glee, her voice to me is pure torture to my ears.
" I don't know who, but you're blocking my way, I need to get a couple of movie tickets and drive Tay-Tay home before it gets dark." I said, pretending I didn't know who this red bitch was.
Emma is smiling in a way that I really didn't like, she reminds me of the Joker with his creepy smile.
I think this bitch is trying to be charming, but it looked more like she was plotting to kill Batman.
"Oh, I just wanted to say hi to Taylor and talk to you." Emma said in a sweet, sugary voice that made me cringe. This girl is an amateur model? How is it possible, I just met her and I want to beat her up or leave.
This city is not only full of criminals, it also contains a large number of shallow and simple-minded guys. There is no other explanation for the popularity of this delusional girl.
"I don't know you and I don't care what you have to say." I replied coldly, stepping in front of Taylor.
Emma's smile falters a bit, but she bravely or stupidly keeps talking. If I had a lead and if we weren't in a public place.
"Actually, that's something I wanted to talk to you about." Emma said approaching me and in my personal space. Even a knife would do in this situation.
" If you keep bothering me I'm going to slap you." I warned the little bitch that I'm not afraid to hit a bitch.
Emma frowned as she gave me a look that I thought should have been cute if I had bad taste in women.
"Oh, don't be like that, you know I can help you, right?" Said the clearly delusional redheaded bitch.
"Help me with what ? To publish my manuscript, kill Kaiser, summon a Waifu Saberface, find a place to attend car races." I asked in an amused tone, this bitch can't help me with anything at all, maybe use her as a human guinea pig or target practice
"With whatever Taylor has on you of course. Blackmail is a crime, you know." Said the bitch, proudly, as if she had won the world cup.
"Blackmail? What are you talking about?" I asked not trying to hide my confusion. This girl in addition to living and clinging to a sick ideal to keep herself stable, alters her perception of reality to always feel right ?
"Well, why else would you still date that loser? That's not allowed! I'm right girls." Emma said, crossing her arms, signaling her friends to join in.
This girl in real life is crazier and more delusional than many of the various versions of her featured in fanfiction, she is in some versions turned into a Case 53 just to put "Taylor" in her place.
"Yeah, it looks like the loser got to date a guy through blackmail." Said Madison, as Sofia stands quietly and stares at me ... personal note number two find a way to amplify your electrical powers or build electrical weapons.
A Shadow Stalker/ Shadow Yandere/Yandere Stalker can be annoying to me in both the present and future.
" Do you force a guy to date you to get moral support, Tay? You know it won't help you because you're dirty and worth even less ? " Emma said. Is I think I become the first man to kill a girl using an ice cream cone, at a sharp point I can use it to gouge out her eyes, right ?
First of all he attacks Sophia with a big punch in the face, without Sophia in the equation Emma is just a spoiled girl with big mental problems.
Let's start this fight ... Wait ... wait a minute!
The Celestial Forge is about to burst! Right now!
This bitch Emma is about to make Taylor cry, while Sophia looks like she wants to beat the crap out of her.
I want to help right now this very second !
But first I have to digest these gifts and I have a feeling they're going to be a much more unique set than the previous ones.

POV Narrator
"Why are you doing this? Why all of this? Why me?" Taylor said, sounding slightly hysterical.
"Don't get it Tay, you're weak. You're weak and I'm strong, so I can do whatever I want for you." Emma replied, continuing her insults, forgetting about the cute boy.
"Is that why you destroyed my mother's flute? She loved you, you know! You were like a sister to me! " Taylor yelled, furious.
"I took it away from you because you didn't deserve it You're the one who killed her, after all." Emma said, grinning like hell.
Taylor physically staggers at this comment and begins to shake.
"Are you going to cry Tay? Are you going to cry for a week straight? " Emma said, using the knowledge gained before the betrayal to hurt Taylor.
"Why do you do that?" Taylor asks weakly.
This time it's Sophia who speaks up. "We did it because we could Hebert. No one will defend you, not even your fiancé. Look at him, just standing there staring into space. We're going to keep doing things like this and keep getting away with it." Sophia said, stepping into Taylor's personal space, ready to punch him right in the face.
At the last second, Sophia's punch was stopped by Holmes' hand, in the last few moments his mind has been busy digesting his new gifts, along with the knowledge and subtle changes he just gained.
But now Holmes' mind is fully operational and now he's pissed off and ready to beat up some damn bitches.
"Nothing is real, everything is legit." Holmes stated, using his leg to strike Sophia's right knee.
Causing Sophia to lose her sense of balance for a second, Holmes ad attacked Sophia again, a quick punch straight to the pancreas.
The result was a sore Sophia falling to the floor clutching her abdomen.
"What?! " Shouted Emma, not understanding what just happened.
"To say that nothing is real is to understand that the foundations of society are fragile and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization.
To say that everything is permissible, on the other hand, is to understand that we are the architects of our own actions and that we must live with their consequences whether glorious or tragic." Holmes stated, before snapping at Emma who was left dumbfounded.
Holmes using the ice cream cone as a dagger hit Emma right in the head.
" haaaaa!" Emma cried out in pain, but her suffering was just beginning.
Because Holmes threw a second punch into Emma's stomach, then pressed her by the hair and dragged her towards the artesian fountain, where he threw her in.
" What!?" Madison shouted, startled and ready to flee without looking behind her.
" H3 is an eccentric artist in both fine arts and martial arts." Taylor replied, smiling to see Emma and Sophia beat up and put down.
Madison fled upon hearing Taylor's statement, she decided to run away and not taste the wrath of a martial artist, even if it meant Emma and Sophia might have a grudge against her
Sophia got back up, with a murderous look on her face, almost foaming with murderous rage.
" You're dead, I'm a predator and I can't lose." Sophia shouted, running towards Holmes like a bloodthirsty beast.
" I know Kung fu ! I know Kung Fu Ezio Auditore style from Florence !" Shouted Holmes, taking a composed and controlled fighting stance.
He continued ...
