As the boy walked out of the Courthouse, he smirked at himself. If his assistant would have said any more, he would have dragged him into the back and killed him, even at the expense of being caught. Instead, he let his mind roam to the subject at hand. He couldn't believe it might be this easy to do what he was about to do. He sat down on the bench to think it out for a moment.
"I mean" he thought to himself, "to kill a civilian is easy, but to kill a King, the government will be looking all over for him."
He tried to let his thoughts wander onto other things, but he couldn't help but think of it. If they ever found out his full name, or even some of his features, would end up bad. He would found, caught, and screwed. He grinded his teeth, before he started this business, he had it all. Friends, family, a beautiful girlfriend. His mind quickly changed to the subject when he thought of the word "girlfriend". He remembers her all to well. Her heavenly red hair carrassed down to her back. Perfect figure, beautiful , amazing, the girl that he loved for three long years, the girl that he would have done absolutly anything for. With the thought of her, he started grinding his teeth again. Who would think such a girl could crush your dreams and humiliate you in one single step. But he would rather not get into how it happened.
Ever since then, he never believed in friends or love. He only had himself, everyone else was an enemy. He would have no girlfriend, because it would only weigh him down. He would have no friends, because it would only show weakness. Then at that moment, he snapped back to reality.
"Man." He thought to himself, "I was so wrapped up in that, I almost forgot my mission."
And with that, he got off the bench, and he started walking again. He knew the travesty that he was about to cause. All hell would break loose inside that courthouse, not that he cared who got hurt. In fact, the more that he thought about it, the more he thought that it was a good thing. Any of the people there could be pointed out for killing the King, and he would be long gone before they question the paperitizi. With that boasting his confidence, he stopped thinking about being caught.
He kept walking until he reached the alley that divided the Courthouse and the Jail, and turned into the alley. The dark alley was riddled with puddles, bottles, trash, and some butts of cigarettes. This is the kind of alley you would suspect a drug dealer to be working at. He walked down the alley, walked into a puddle or two along the way. As he walked, he slid his hand against the stone wall of the Courthouse. The stone reminded him of what he felt like, cold. The coldness of his heart is what got him into this business. He looked ahead and saw a rigid door. As he walked up to it, he looked at the door.
Graffiti marks filled the door almost enough to where he could barely see it. He grabbed the knob of the door and was about to open it, but took his hand off the knob and took a closer look at the side of the door. The hinges of the iron door was rusting away. Opening the door would make a sound or completely tear the door down with the slightest turn. The creek or boom of the door hitting the ground might alert a guard. He gave a smirk and just threw away the idea. He knew that wasn't going to happen.
"Yes, it will creak, but it will not fall down" He thought to himself, "and because of its abandonment, no guard would be on patrol there."
He grabbed the knob and turned it. As he expected, it creaked, but the hinges didn't break. So the door did not fall down. As he also expected, there was not a guard in sight when he opened the door. He walked in to what seemed to be an abandoned room in the Courthouse. The gavel was still on the table, which was very big to fit the emperor judge. There was no dust, because germs were destroyed on the planet years ago. The boy turned to his left and saw a door with a metal plate on it that read "Emperor's entrance. The whole door was huge to fit the King through it. So, he grabbed the knob and opened the door. What he saw in the room fit a nightmare that he once had.
It was a plain old room with nothing in it. It had plain white walls with a plain white floor with nothing in the room. The whole concept of the room frightened him, because he thought that it was more like a prison cell. A square room with just space. He then remember the time that he was in jail for petty thief, he hated it. It really drove him insane. He tried to grasp the nothingness of the room, but for some reason, his mind trying to take in his surroundings. It was for just some reason, he was freaked out by the room. Didn't know what triggered the fear in the first place, he was just afraid of the room. He slowly walked into the emptiness of the room, he was breathing hard. He wanted to get out of there, and he wanted to get out of there now. As sweat was running down his neck, he breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the ceiling.
The ceiling of the room was about fifty feet above him. Then, felling more relaxed, he started to look down at the walls. He then saw a passage about the size of the door engraved in the wall, and then the idea struck him. The whole room was like an elevator shaft, but with no elevator. There was no ladder and no railing or footstep, so climbing was out of the question. To most people, this might have been the end of the road. They would have to leave, because it would have been imposable to climb or jump up to the passage. For this boy, no. (Author's note, in this fanfiction, all Tamarian's know how to use starbolts, but only a few know how to fly.)
"Is this the best Tamaran has to offer in security?" The boy said to himself
As he said that, the wind in the room began to move as if a storm was hitting. The air was bouncing off the walls and bouncing off each other. As he closed his eyes, he slowly began to levitate off the ground and in a few seconds, was in the air right by the entrance.
As what looked like he walked on air, he walked on nothing and got to the passage. He stood there for a few seconds and thought to himself.
"I can't go in with this clothing on." he thought to himself, "If they catch me, they will recognize me, and I would be screwed."
He then reached into his pockets and pulled out a little capsule. On the capsule, it engraved the letters CC on it. He had never known what the letters meant. He threw it up into the air, caught it, and then threw it at the ground. In what was a few seconds, a cloud of smoke filled the passage. He raised his hand and a bluish glow appeared on his had to cast out all the smoke. When all of the smoked finally cleared, on the metal floor lied a black sleeveless shirt, blue jeans, and sunglasses. He then took off the tamarian cloths and the "Tamarian Press" cap that he was wearing and was just left in his boxers. What he was really was a muscled boy with black hair that reached down to the bottom of his neck.
"Lord, it's freezing in here!" he yelled as he jumped into the air
He put on the blue jeans and the black shirt which showed in full detail of his muscles. He bent down and picked up his sunglasses and put them on. That was his trademark look. He then turned to the Tamarian cloth he took off. If he left it here, they could find it. He extended his right arm and opened his hand up. Out of his hand came a bluish-white energy beam which totally incinerated the tamerian cloth and cap.
"Well, there went the evidence." He said with a smirk and started walking down the passage
He walked down the passage for about fifty yards, turned and stopped, there it was. The balcony that overlooked the Courthouse. The King was in the middle of making his speech with a few occasional pauses with cheers. He was a problem, there was 10 TSS (Tamarian Secret Service) officers watching to protect the King. He knew how they got up to the balcony; they were the few Tamarians that knew how to fly. He (once again) saw this coming, and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a good sized rock and then threw it at the ground, making a loud thud. The boy then peeked around the corner to watch all of the officers' rush over to the corner with spears.
"Fools." The boy said as he put his ring and middle fingers on his head and closed his eyes, and in a few seconds, disappeared with a flash of smoke
The officers ran the corner to the rock with their arm up, ready to throw their spear whenever needed. The only thing that was there was a stone and a little smoke. They stopped at the rock and stared at it for a few seconds.One of the officers bent over and picked up the rock. As they talked, they all had a puzzled look on their face.
"How in the hell did this get here?" The comanding officer with the rock asked for the oppion of his fellow officers
"I…I…I'm not sure?" One officer said
"Well, the ceiling looks fine. Couldn't have fallen." Another said
The comanding officer stood still for a few seconds and headed to the corner, but his fellow officers stood where the rock was located, mouths agape.
"What are you all standing around for?" He asked, "We should notify the King."
As the officers stood there in shock, one of the officers exstended his arm and pointed a trimbling finger that pointed behind the comanding officer. Behind the comanding officer was the boy, with his eyes narowed.
"What in the..." That was all the comanding officer had time to say
As the boy's mouth formed a smirk, he snaped his right fingers. A blinding blue flash of light filled the room. You could see the officers literally be oblitherated in the beam while they screamed for mercy. Finally, the light died down. When all became clear, only the boy was left standing. Sparks were still flying from his fingertips when he put his hand down. Everything, aside from a few peices of cloth from the officer's clothing, was gone.He then took a few steps to peak around the corner, and gave a heavy sigh. Nobody, including the King, heard him. The smirk appeared back on his face, it was time.
He quickly ran over to the edge of the balcony to see where the King was in his speech. The boy didn't have much time, if he was going to assassinate the King, he had to do it now! He quickly put 2 fingers on his head and closed his eyes, but instead of disappearing, an energy ball appeared on the tip of his fingers. Sparks from the energy was flying all across his head. His heart was beating fast; He couldn't believe it was finally going to happen. He's been on this case for months, and he was finally going to kill the King. This was by far the biggest kill he is ever going to get. With that being said, the sparks from the energy stopped and the whole ball became one. That only meant one thing, it was ready. He then pointed his fingers at the King, sending the beam straight through the king's head.
He smiled, for he heard the chaos the was in the courtroom. People were screaming, not knowing what to do. He heard some yell "attack" while some did not stay in the courtroom long enough to hear anything. Some brave Tamerians took to the wound of the king, even which they knew that it was over right when the beam hit his head. They didn't know where the beam came from, so they didn't know whether they were at risk of being kill.
As the boy watched the people for a few seconds, he knew that he could not linger there for very long, for he was at a risk of being caught. If he was caught, the whole oporation was to be a complete failier. So he put his two fingers on his head again, and in quicker than a flash, he was gone.
He reapeared at the door that he opened to get into the building in the alley. He knew although he was near the building, there was to much chous for anyone to cheak anywhere, so he was safe there. He then took out a handheld device, which looked like a trianguler comunicater, and spoke into it.
"It's finished." the boy said, "I killed the king."
"Well, it took you long enough."a voice of a girl said out of the comunicater
"You try killing the king!" the boy yelled quickly, "He always has so much protection on his gaurd, it took me mounths to find a place with no guards could stop me!"
It got quiet for a few moments, so the boy changed the subject.
"So why did you want me to kill your own father, Blackfire?" the boy asked, "I mean, the last time I have never seen my father, but I never wished death on him."
"He was getting in the way." Blackfire said in a cruel tone, "I wouldn't be able to acend to my rightful place as the Queen of Tamerian if he didn't die."
"It still seems unjust." the boy said
"Well your the one who killed him." Blackfire said
"It didn't look any better that you paid me." the boy said striking back
"Look, let's just drop it!" Blackfire demanded
Yet, another few moments passed by of aquared silence. This time, Blackfire talked.
"I have another job for you." Blackfire said out of nowhere
"Well, don't you think that's kind of sudden." the boy asked, "I mean, you havn't even paid me for the king yet."
"Don't worry, I swear I'll pay you as soon as you kill this person." Blackfire pleaded
The boy thought for a moment and answered her.
"Sure." he said, "so, who is this person anyways."
"It is my little sister." Blackfire anwsered, "Her name is Starfire."
Blackfire then went in depth about her little sister, Starfire.
"Well, she's a little shorter than you are. She wears the normal Tamerian cloths and lives Jump city, USA." Blackfire explained, "You do know where that is, don't you?
"Of course." He said, "and how much will I be paid to do this?"
"Hmm..." Blackfire thought, "about 2 mill."
"Good, sounds like a deal." He said, "Is there anyone that I should look out for?"
"No." she said, "She lives by herself, illigal in that country being her age of 15."
He thought for a few seconds.
"I better get going." he said
"Yea." Blackfire said, "I have some things to do to."
"Goodbye Blackfire." the boy wispered
"Goodbye." Blackfire wispered and then with a smirk said, "Ash."
The boy nearly dropped his comunicater in that one word. After breathing for a second said,
"How do you know my name?" Ash asked breathing heavely, "Almost nobody knows my real name."
"I have my ways." Blackfire said in glee, "Your Ash Kechem from the planet Vegeta, and you were sent to a far away planet just before it blew up."
"Your one of the last saiyans." Blackfire said
"I hope you know what will happen if you tell anyone." Ash said in a tone
"Yes I know," Blackfire exsagerated, "death."
"Good," Ash said, "With that said, bye."
"Wait!" Blackfire said in her comunicater before Ash turned off his comunicater
"She knows..." Ash thought
Ash stood there, pondered on the thought of Blackfire for a few seconds, and walked into the darkness of the alley.
