Chapter Two:

The Tables Have Turned:

April 17th, 2008:

After we took care of the gang at the dinner party, Sierra decided to take me home. Sure, I could've easily flown home myself, but this is Earth, and the people are not used to seeing people flying on their own, only on machines. While Sierra was driving me home, Sierra and I started talking about what went down back at Vince's party.

Xyaqom: So what the hell just happened back there?! Why did the Oiram crime family try to kidnap Vince?

Sierra: Vince is a legit mayor, he's not like all the other mayors that Christale City has had in the past. So, when he announced that he would clean the city from its corruption ways and drive the crime families out of the city, that put a huge target on his back. So that's where we come in.

Xyaqom: I already know that, but if they want him dead, why did the Oiram crime family tried to kidnap Vince?

Sierra: Probably to force him into working for them. The Oiram crime family owns half the city, and they'll be dammed if they lose their slice of the pie to a squeaky clean mayor.

Xyaqom: They only own half of the city?

Sierra: Yes, the other half is owned by the Shadduck crime family.

Xyaqom: Damn, I knew things in this city were bad, but I didn't think they were THAT bad.

Sierra: Welcome to Christale city. The most dangerous city in all of Canada.

After Sierra dropped me off back at my place, it was time for some R&R, the only way I knew how, and that was walking to the fridge to get some leftover pizza and two bottles of beers to get ready for the night.

April 20th, 2008:

A few days later, it was back to work, only this time, we were flying to a nightclub by helicopter, with Sierra being the pilot while I was looking down at the city below us. We were riding with Vince's wife, Torrie, and his idiot son Vinny so that they could recover from their brush of mortality. Then again, they were rich people arriving at night parties on helicopters. Torrie brought her younger sister by ten years, Liliana. Probably to show how rich and empty her life was. And boy was she about to learn the meaning of rich and empty. Liliana was a young woman. Just like Sierra, she too was twenty-one, I was literally the youngest person in this group. Liliana has long, dark brown hair with light blue eyes. Her amazing body looked like a teenager, but I assure you, she is twenty-one. Her breasts seemed to be a large C cup. Liliana was 5'6 feet tall and weighed 135 pounds. The attire that she was wearing was a light blue dress that showed off half of her breasts and came down to her hips. She also had her legs opened a little, so I was able to take a peek up her dress and see she was wearing a pair of white panties underneath her dress.

Vinny: Hey, Xyaqom, yo, I was talking to you.

Xyaqom: (I look at Vinny) Sorry, what was that?

Vinny: I was saying are we going to have some fun tonight?

Xyaqom: Well, we're still here, aren't we. (Vinny and Torrie cheer)

Torrie: All thanks to you Xyaqom. I owe you my life.

Vinny: It wasn't just him, eh, baby?

Torrie: Oh sure, Vinny, I'm sure you did a lot to help those people at the party. (Laughs) You were probably worried about getting blood on your stash.

Vinny: Okay, you got me there.

Liliana: Thank you for saving Torrie Xyaqom, I don't know what I would've done without my sister.

Torrie: Hmm, let me think, doing something more useful in your time? She works for an intern you see. Basically, she's a good sister.

Liliana: Oh, shut up. Hey, did you guys hear? More and more people have gone missing, even people that are arrested are never to be seen or heard of again. It's quite scary when you think about it.

Vinny: Did somebody say buzzkill?

Liliana: Hey! (Punches Vinny on the shoulder)

Vinny: Hey, come on, I was just joking. (See's that they were just above the nightclub) Hey, here we are.

Xyaqom: (Under my breath) Thank God.

What felt like hours, we finally arrived at the nightclub. After we landed, I got off the helicopter and helped Vinny and the girls off the helicopter. Sierra stayed behind to guard the helicopter so that no drunk idiot would decide to take the helicopter to a joyride and crash it to a building. Me, on the other hand, had to go inside with Vinny and the girls. Before I followed them inside the nightclub, Sierra grabbed me by the shoulder.

Sierra: Good luck.

I nodded and went inside the elevator to the nightclub with Vinny and the girls.

Vinny: Man, I love this view. It's a great chill place to hang, you know? Do a bit of business, have some fun. I need it too. I've been working far too hard, (I rolled my eyes) like trying to get a whore out of your house like my roommate used to say. (He laughs) You like that, Xyaqom.

Xyaqom: That's pretty funny. (I lied)

We finally arrived at the dance club. I stayed focus on my mission and looks over at the nightclub. The nightclub itself was packed. It had a dance floor and a bar upstairs. Vinny and the girls went to the dance floor and started dancing. I was watching them a dance which I had no interest in dancing as I look over at the group of talking with their partners about joining another company to make more. I was tempted at going up to the bar.

?: Not having a good time?

I turned my head to see who that was, and as fate would have it, it was Rosaira, in the nightclub. What she was wearing were a skinny red dress, black high heels, and a bracelet. The dress she was wearing only came down below her hips, showing off her amazing thighs and showing off a huge amount of her cleavage. I turned dark red after seeing Rosaira.

Xyaqom: Rosaira?! What are you doing here?!

Rosaira: I'm working at the moment.

Xyaqom: You call THIS working?!

I was referring to the dress she was wearing and the amount of skin and cleavage she was showing.

Rosaira: Yes, and the boss... She's like super friendly and nice to all of us.

Xyaqom: And what is it that you do as a job that makes you were "That?!"

I was referring to the dress she was wearing.

Rosaira: It's part of the job, but do you like it? (She then Whispers into my ear) You can do anything to me.

This made my face go red. That kind of offer was tempting.

Xyaqom: Um... That is tempting Rosaira, but I'm kinda on the job.

Rosaira: Oh... You're such tease, but how about we dance then?

I was going to say something, but before I could, I noticed some guy pulling out a gun and pointing it at Rosaira's head.

Xyaqom: ROSAIRA! WATCH OUT!

I quickly tackled Rosaira to the ground to make the would-be killer miss his shot. When the dancers heard the gun-shot, everyone went to mass panic. A bunch of other guys took out pistols out of their pants and started shooting everyone on site.

Xyaqom: Vinny, Torrie, Liliana... Get down!

Vinny and Liliana quickly get down, but before Torrie could get down, one of the thugs grabbed Torrie quickly carried her to the exit.

Thug #1: KILL THE BIO-WEAPON!

The thugs that were left behind quickly pointed their guns at Rosaira and me. Seeing that the thugs were about to kill us, I quickly picked Rosaira up, threw her up into the air, turned my arms and blades and hacked and slashed all the thugs that tried to kill us, all that in under a second. After I killed the thugs, I quickly grabbed Rosaira and held her bride style.

Rosaira: Such a gentleman.

This made me blush and put Rosaira down.

Xyaqom: You need to get out of here.

Rosaira walks out but turns around to kiss me on the cheek softly for saving her, this made me blush, Rosaira than ran to the nearest exit. I quickly shook off the feeling and ran to Vinny and Liliana.

Xyaqom: Are you two, alright?

Vinny: Yes, but where's Torrie?

Liliana didn't say a word to I noticed that she was starting to check me out a little, but shakes it off.

Xyaqom: Those thugs took off with her.

Vinny: WHAT?! (Quickly picked himself up) We need to go after her! (Starts to run off)

Xyaqom: I"LL go after Torrie. You and Liliana go to the helipad and get out of here!

Vinny then grabs Liliana by the hand and runs to the helipad, and I run after Torrie, I hide behind the entrance to see what was going on, and see more thugs mowing down innocent bystanders. I had two choices about hiding my presences or shot the thugs to save everyone. I decide to save the innocent bystanders. I stabbed the three thugs heads, I turn my head and see the fourth one was holding a woman with his gun pointing at her head.

Thug #4: Stay back! I'll fucking kill her!

I was looking at the woman and nods at her to save her. I then shot a small thin energy beam at the thug's head, thus killing him and saving the woman.

Xyaqom: Go, get out of here!

Woman: Thank you.

The woman then ran off, which the other bystanders soon followed. I was going to get to the other room, but that was when a dancer from the nightclub was flown through the doors to the next room. He was about to get back up, but one of the thugs armed with a chainsaw came after the dancer and dug his chainsaw into the poor bastard's back, making him scream and pain and his blood and guts going all over the place. After the dancer died, the thug pulled his chainsaw out of the dancer's back and looks at me.

Thug With The Chainsaw: (Points At Me) YOU'RE DEAD LITTLE BOY!

The thug then ran towards me with his chainsaw. I dodged the attacks from the chainsaw and used my arm blades to block the attacks from the chainsaw.

Xyaqom: You are out of your mind!

Thug With The Chainsaw: DIE LITTLE BOY!

Xyaqom: No can do.

I quickly dodged the attack from the chainsaw and stabbed the thug in the neck. I pull the blade out and looks at the bystanders.

Xyaqom: Is everyone alright?

The bystanders nod and make a run for it. I was breathing in and out then look at the dead body, which I was starting to ask myself who these people are? I ran down the door where the thug with the chainsaw came out of to find Torrie.

Xyaqom: Torrie!

I saw the thugs dragging Torrie to the exit and heading to the helipad located to the opposite side to where Sierra was keeping her's. I was about to run after Torrie, but a whole army of the Oiram crime family came in where Torrie was forced to leave armed with MP5's with grenade launchers attached to them started firing at me. I was dodging the best I could, and I see the thugs were ready to strike at my side. I quickly turned my arms into nanomachines and killed the gangsters that were at my side, but no sooner when I killed those gangsters, the gangsters armed with the MP5's with grenade launchers attached to them started lunching their grenades at me. I look over to see bystanders were out and dodge the grenades. However, the shockwave from the grenades would send me flying. I was sent out of the building, but I quickly grab the wires to swing myself back into the building, and I kick the first gangster into the other. What I didn't understand was that the people that kidnapped Torrie were all wearing street clothes, but the Oiram crime family always wear black business suits with red ties. Were these thus by chance working for the Oiram? Well, right now, I didn't have time to figure that out. Right now, I had to push forward and get to Torrie before those thugs ride off with her. I then launched several energy blasts at the gangsters, thus killing them.

I jumped out of the hole in the wall, and I was forming my wings at the backside of my back to fly to the top. There I saw Torrie being forced to be seated at a helicopter. Torrie turned her head and saw me, and screamed my name. When I saw this, I made a mad dash towards the helicopter. However, when I got halfway to the helicopter, I suddenly got a jolt of electricity, stopping me from my tracks and making me fall to the ground. I couldn't move, I tried to move my arms, but they couldn't move. I don't know how they did it, but they managed to paralyze me.

Torrie: XYAQOM!

Gangster #1: (Slaps Torrie) SHUT UP, BITCH!

I was trying my best to move and turn my head to see who shot me with electricity. And to my shock, it was the Don himself, Mario Oiram. Mario was a middle-aged man who was 5'8 feet tall and weighed 300 pounds. He had short brown hair and a big mustache below his nose and wore a black business suit with a red tie. He was also holding a ray gun, filled with electricity. No doubt, he used that to paralyze me.

Mario: So, you're that kid that has been giving my men so much trouble.

Xyaqom: Why are you doing this?

Mario: To send Vince a message, that's why. Many of us have worked our asses off to the bone to get to where we are now. And we're not going to let a mayor who doesn't want to play by the rules make our hard work be for nothing. It's a good thing we were told about your weakness. (I was shocked to hear this) Otherwise, this kidnap would've been impossible. If you survive, tell Vince that the tables have turned.

Mario then kicks me off the building, making me fall from a one hundred story tall building. As I was falling, I tried to regain movement in my body, tried to move my hands, legs, head, anything to kick out of this paralyzing stance. Halfway down the building, I managed to regain movement in my right hand, but it wasn't enough to save myself. When I only got twenty-five floors left before I fall to my demise, I managed to regain movement in both my right hand and right arm. Realizing this, I quickly turned my right hand into a blade, but because my nanomachines were damaged due to the electricity, turning my arm into a blade was quite slow. I was afraid if it would turn into a blade on time. Finally, When I only got only ten floors left before I fall my demise, my arm was complete into turning into a blade. Seeing this, I quickly stabbed the wall beside me, where I slide on the building and slowly came to a stop on the fifth floor. I took a sigh of relief, knowing that I managed to save myself on time. I began feeling the movement coming back to my body, where I still couldn't take my wings out and fly, so I had no choice but to turn my other arm into a blade and started climbing the building back to the top. I was hoping that the Oiram crime family helicopter would still be there by the time I get back up, but that was just wishful thinking on my part.

And just my luck, when I did get back to the roof, the helicopter was gone, they flew off with Torrie.

Xyaqom: Fuck!

Half of me wasn't surprised that Torrie was now in the clutches of the Oiram crime family, but the other half was hoping that they would wait for me to get back onto the top. Yeah, I know, stupid right? Why would they wait for me if they have the golden opportunity to fly off with the girl while I'm falling to my death? That would be pretty stupid on their part. So yeah, they flew off while I was busy trying to save myself from falling to my death. However, this would prove to be the least of my problems, which I would soon hear Sierra calling my name behind me.

Sierra: Xyaqom!

Xyaqom: (Under my breath) Shit. (I turned around to face the music)

Sierra: What happened? Where's Torrie?

Xyaqom: They have her. The Oiram crime family have her now.

Sierra: WHAT?! What do you mean they have her?!

She was mad, I didn't blame her. Torrie was my responsibly, and I failed her. I turned away back to the helicopter pad with a serious expression, and I was going to get Torrie back with a silent promise.
