Thanks to his speed and agility, Mr. Hardcore was easily able to make up the distance in such a short time.
"Alright, looks like an abandoned hangar." He said, "Skara, do you have sight on me?"
"As clear as light." Skara said with her drone watching from the tree line.
"Alright, I have to go inside, so you might lose me on the drone feed, I should still be able to catch you on comms." Mr. Hardcore said.
"Got it."
He went inside the building, finding it empty.
"Skara, this seems empty."
"Maybe-"
Skara was cut off by loud static feedback, causing great pain in Luz's ear. She took out the earpiece as the shutter doors closed. Shutters also covered the windows.
"I'm glad you could make it." Commander said, "I was hoping for someone to beat."
"Well, you're fighting the most dangerous person in the world." Luz said.
"Is that so? Well, because of that, why don't I give you one free hit?"
Luz ran at him and punched his jaw... and then held her hand in pain. It was like punching a tank.
"Well, then, that was a good try." He said, "My turn."
Mr. Hardcore instantly put up his arms to block as Commander threw a simple back hand but the force behind it sent him skidding to the other side of the building, slamming his back into the wall!
"Guh!" He grunted as he fell to a knee, his arms shaking in pain from the simple strike.
'What the fuck was that?! He hits like a freight train!' Luz thought.
Commander grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.
"I could crush your head like a grape, but where's the fun in ending it like that?"
He threw Luz onto the ground, breaking several ribs in the process. Commander, still holding her neck, started punching Luz's ribs. He stood up and stomped on her chest. Blood started to come out of Luz's mouth, and she was forced to rip her mask off in order to avoid choking on it. Commander grabbed Luz by the leg and threw her against the wall. Luz started to crawl away but was stopped when Commander stepped on her arm. Luz reached into her jacket and pulled out her gun. If anything was strong enough to hurt him, it was this. Luz fired at his head... and the bullets bounced off.
"Hehehehe, that tickles." He said before his kicked the gun out of Luz's hand and picked her up by her throat. "All this time, you've been giving my men trouble when I should've dealt with you myself. A mistake I learned too late, but I won't now."
He delivered a strong punch to her stomach, making more blood come up. He dropped her and grabbed her arm. He forced it to go in the opposite direction at the elbow. He watched her try and crawl away and smirked. He raised his hands and slammed them onto Luz's back. He grabbed her and threw her into the wall. He walked over and pulled an old pipe off the wall.
"You have a bat, maybe you should open your mind to other possible weapons." He said.
He slammed the pipe against her back. He grabbed her by the back of her jacket and picked her up. He threw her in the air and swung the pipe, slamming it against her head as she fell. Luz was knocked to the other side of the hangar, bouncing on the ground as she went. Luz started to pull herself up, using her one good arm to reach into her jacket and slip on one of her brass knuckles. She swung and hit him in the nose. He stood there, smirking.
"I have to say, I respect your will." He said, throwing his own punch, "But it won't do you any good."
Luz fell to the ground, feeling her jaw break like glass. He put hit foot on her stomach and started punching her repeatedly. Soon she has a broken nose, two black eyes, blood was coming out of her mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. She was pretty sure she had a broken skull. She had almost 70 broken bones, internal bleeding, and was on the brink of passing out. She felt a finger under her chin and her head was raised.
"I'm glad it was you that showed up. If it was one of your teammates, this wouldn't be nearly as satisfying." He said, "But it will be fun when I snap their necks now. See what happens when you bring your little friends in this game?"
He pulled out a knife and stabbed her hand. He repeated it with her other hand, stabbing each of them almost a dozen times. He stabbed her thighs and dragged the knife down all the way to her foot. Luz honestly wanted to scream, but that was impossible with her broken jaw.
"Now, I wish I could continue this, but I'll just have to leave you to bleed out without me. I have plans." He said, "But I will leave you with a farewell gift."
He shoved the knife into her side, dragging it across her stomach, completely going through her Kevlar. He stood up and left, leaving Luz alone. Her breathing was starting to slow, and she closed her eyes.
