Chapter Eleven:
The Ugly Truth:
April 25, 2008:
12:45 AM:
After dealing with the situation with the warehouse, I was walking in the streets of Christale City, making my way to the CCPO HQ. Just then, I got a call from my phone. I stop in my tracks and answer the call, which I was surprised to see the caller I.D., which was Johnathon.
Xyaqom: (I answer my phone) Hey John, did you get the evidence? I bet the CCPO is in panic mode right now.
Johnathon: I appreciate the hard work that you put in Xyaqom, but I'm afraid we have some bad news.
Xyaqom: Some bad news? What do you mean?
Johnathon: The kids, they're gone.
Xyaqom: What did you just say?
Johnathon: I took them to Stephenie to watch them until this whole matter calmed down. But when I came over to pick them up, they were gone.
Xyaqom: Wait, Rosaira was with the kids, is she okay?
Johnathon: I don't know, Rosaira was nowhere to be found.
Xyaqom: Who has them?!
Johnathon: I don't know. But if I had to guess, it was the CCPO. They somehow found out where we were hiding the kids and stole them. But what I would like to know is why they would take Stephine too? Are they trying to wipe out the Noham family?
Xyaqom: Well, as luck had it, I'm just heading to the CCPO HQ.
Johnathan: You're going to put an end to this, aren't you?
Xyaqom: Damn straight. I highly recommend that you skip town for a few days. Because I believe any stragglers that I miss might go after you.
Johnathan: Okay, I will, but promise me that everything returns after this are over with.
Xyaqom: I will.
I close the call with Johnathan and keeps walking towards CCPO HQ.
Ken: Hey, Xyaqom...
Xyaqom: What is it?
Ken: Please, save my son. My son is with those kids.
Xyaqom: I will... But Ken after this is over... Please leave the city for a while.
Ken: I will.
After ten minutes of walking, I was now standing in front of the CCPO HQ, the main source of all the evil in this city.
Xyaqom: This is my final task as an assassin.
There was no hint of a doubt that they knew I was coming for them. I knew everything, I knew about the CCPO's dirty secret, I learned how corrupted they were, and I also learned that they were members of the Shadduck crime family in disguise. And the one man who is leading them all, a man that was abusing his power as a "Police Officer," was leading them all, Kendril Shadduck. If I kill him, there's a high chance that the CCPO will disband. But to be on the safe side, I may as well kill everyone inside. Okay, maybe not everyone. I might let the secretaries go and any innocent civilians that may be inside. Basically, anybody who is wearing a CCPO uniform is going to get their heads cut off. I also had to keep an eye out for Rosaira and the kids, no doubt that Kendril was hiding them somewhere. I swear to God if he did anything to hurt Rosaira in any way, I'll rip his liver out of him and sell them to the black market myself.
It's kind of funny when I think about it; I thought I left this kind of life behind me. I came to Earth to escape the assassin life. But it seems after a few weeks of being on this planet; I got back into the role of an assassin. It was the last time though, after all of this is over, I'm hanging the jacket up for good this time. I took a deep exhale and let out the exhale and walked inside.
After I open the doors, a little beep with sound off, probably letting the officers know that someone has come into their headquarters. The officers turned their heads and were shocked to see that I was in their domain. They quickly took their guns out and started pointing them at me, getting ready to unleash their lead.
Xyaqom: (I chuckle) Okay, boys, what's it going to be? The easy way? Or the hard way? The easy way, you lead me to Kendril, and you guys get to live another day? The hard way, I kill every one of you bastards and work my way up to Kendril's office. What's it going to be?
CCPO #1: You think you can make demands?! After everything you've done?!
CCPO #2: Yeah, the boss will see you in a body bag, that is.
Xyaqom: (I grinned and chucked) Hard way it is.
I went towards the first two then slices their throats up with my right-hand become a sharp blade. After seeing two of their comrades dying, they unleashed their leads at me. I quickly ducked, turned my one of my legs into a blade, and leg swept one of the guards, but instead of making them fall, I cut their feet off.
CCPO #4: (Drops down onto the floor) Look what you did to my fucking legs!
Xyaqom: (I laugh) Now you know what it feels to lose a limb. (I stabbed him in the neck)
I then dashed to another officer and cut his stomach open, and used another officer as a shield to block the officer gunfire. I then shoved the officer that I was used as a shield towards one of the officers and shot an energy blast at them. Another officer came charging towards me with a knife. I quickly dodged their attack and cut his arms again. Two more officers came charging towards me with knives, but I slit their necks open.
I then took my tail out and started whipping the officers with it. They were all coming out of the woodworks, and they were all armed to the teeth.
Xyaqom: You guys want to play, fine!
I start slicing and cutting their throats and pulling their hearts out of their bodies.
Xyaqom: Tell me, how does it feel to have your heart pulled out of you?! It's fucking painful, isn't it?
CCPO #3: YOU MONSTER!
The officers unleashed their machine guns at me. I knock the doors open and try to avoid the bullets. I dashed towards them while keeping my head down and cut their heads off and ran up the stairs.
Xyaqom: Oh Kendril, where art though Kendril?!
When I arrived at the next floor, another army of officers were seen waiting for them.
Kendril: (From the P.A.) Stop him! Don't let him get to the tenth floor!
Xyaqom: So, your boss is held up on the tenth floor, huh?
CPO #4: Yeah, but you're not going to see him, alive that is.
They then began firing their guns at me. I jump through the bullets and start rushing towards the CCPO, dodging the bullets. I then cut the first officer's head off, and then I stabbed the second officer in the chest, I then turned my leg into a blade and swept the third officer's head clean off and used my other leg to sweep the other officer's legs off. During all the chaos, all the secretaries that were in the building we're all making a run for it.
Xyaqom: Troublesome.
I then breathe fire on the officers, making them fry to death. After making the officers nice and crispy, I made my way up the stairs to the third floor as you may have guessed it, more officers were waiting for me. CCPO looks at each other, and one then another three drops their guns, which they didn't want to do this job anymore. I was surprised by this, CCP officers that knew when to call it quits?! That was a breath of fresh air.
Xyaqom: Get out of here.
Two of the CCPO left except one of them and threw their I.D card.
CCPO #6: Here, take this. This will lead you to the secret staircase to get to Kendril's office.
Xyaqom: Why are you suddenly helping me?
CCPO #6: I'll be honest with you. I only joined the CCPO because it paid better than the normal cops. What happened last night, the CCPO showed their true colors. I don't want any part of this anymore. Please, end this corruption!
Xyaqom: Where's the secret staircase?
CPO #6: It will be on the first door at your right side of the hallway.
He then runs off, following his friends. Following the officer's instructions, I found the first door on my right, but it required a key card to get in. Using the key card that the CCP officer gave me, the door opened, revealing a huge staircase leading to the tenth floor, saving me some valuable time.
I then began running up the stairs. After a few minutes of running up the stairs, I began to think I did not collect enough power stars or something, as the stairs felt endless. Eventually, I arrived at the tenth floor, I reach another door at the top of the staircase, but it required a key card to get through. I use the key card and open the door to arrive at the tenth floor.
But when I did, though, I was surprised at what I was seeing. The tenth floor was empty, with no officers in sight. Well, it was mostly empty. Standing before me, standing at the center of the room, was Sierra, emotionless. She was not wearing her required work attire. Instead, she was wearing a small purple robe with armor pieces on her shoulders, chest, arms, legs, and feet.
Xyaqom: Sierra?
Sierra: (He turns around to face me) There you are. You're a little earlier than I expected.
Xyaqom: Sierra, what are you doing here? Why are you here? (She then pulls out her twin blades, ready to fight me) Sierra?
Sierra: I'm sorry, Xyaqom. I have no choice.
Xyaqom: (I was in complete shock) No, don't tell me you were in all this. (Sierra says nothing)
Kendril: (From the P.A) You know what you have to do, Sierra. Kill Xyaqom, and you and your girlfriend will leave here alive!
Xyaqom: Wait, girlfriend?!
Kendril: (From the P.A) Oh, you never knew? Sierra and Liliana have been dating for a few years now. I have her locked up in my closet, and I told Sierra that if she doesn't kill you, her girlfriend will die. Oh, Xyaqom, if you don't tell Sierra, your girlfriend Rosaira will die too.
Xyaqom: YOU KEEP ROSAIRA OUT OF THIS!
Kendril: (From the P.A) Too late! Now, kill each other!
Xyaqom: This is impossible! You can't expect us to fight each other!
Kendril: (Grabs Liliana by the hair and points his 44. Magnum at her head) Fight, or else I blow Liliana's brains all over this room.
Sierra: Xyaqom... If I don't survive this, then please save Lilianna for me. (Raises her swords towards me with killer intents)
Xyaqom: Sierra...
Kendril: (From the P.A) Now! FIGHT!
Sierra then dashed towards me with her twin blades. I quickly block the attack, but I wasn't going to fight her with intents to kill her. Sierra then unleashed a fury of sword attacks, but I quickly blocked all of them.
Xyaqom: (Thoughts) I can't strike down one of my friends but don't want to see Rosaira killed in front of me either.
We then get into a clash, Sierra trying to get the upper hand on me, but I keep her at bay. I've been kicked her in the gut, sending her flying into the wall. She quickly gets back up.
Sierra: Why are you holding back?
Xyaqom: You can tell?
Sierra: Yes, but I don't blame you because we become... best friends.
We then get into a clash, Sierra trying to get the upper hand on me, but I keep her at bay. I've been kicked her in the gut, sending her flying into the wall.
Sierra unleashes a series of sword attacks, making me go on the defensive, blocking off her attacks. Sierra tries to cut my head off, but I quickly duck and perform a leg sweep on her, making her fall on her back. She quickly rolls out of the way, and kicks me, while staggered, Sierra charges in to try to stab me in the gut, but I quickly block it.
I then kick Sierra in the kneecap and gut and attempts and kick her away from me, but she blocked my attack with her swords and upwards kick to make me staggered, then she tries to stab me, but I quickly duck under the attack and uses a leg sweep on her to make her fall again. However, this time, she catches herself and quickly kicks me in the gut and face, knocking me down to the ground. Sierra attempts to stomp my face in, but I quickly use a leg sweep to make Sierra fall on her back again, giving me some time to get back up.
Sierra then quickly gets back up, dashed towards me to cut me in half downward, but I quickly step to the side to dodge the attack, I then elbow smashes her and kicks her to the back. But Sierra quickly picks herself back up and unleash a fury sword attack towards me, which he was able to block all of them. Seeing an opening from Sierra's fury of attacks, I quickly punched her in the gut and kicked her in the gut to send her flying, but she quickly catches herself, turned her hand into a blade, and tried to cut my head off. But I quickly ducked, headbutted Sierra, elbowed her to the gut, and used an ax handle attack on her to send her falling to the ground. Before Sierra could get back up, I held my blade up to her neck, ready to stab her.
Sierra knew she lost. She knew that no matter what she did now, it would be in vain.
Kendril: (From the P.A) Good, Xyaqom, good. Now kill her!
Sierra then closes her eyes as tears started running down her cheeks, she failed to save Liliana, but she also accepted her fate.
Kendril: (From the P.A) Hello? Can you hear me?! Kill her!
Liliana: NO!
Xyaqom: I'm sorry, Sierra.
Just when I was about to deliver the finishing blow, the security doors at Kendril office to protect him and preventing me from getting to him suddenly opened. Sierra, Kendril, and I were shocked to see the security door suddenly opening on its own.
Kendril: What the hell?!
Just then, Liliana kicked Kendril in the balls, making him let her go and grab his crotch while groaning in pain. Now released from Kendril's clutches, she ran towards Sierra. I let Sierra go, and the two embraced.
Xyaqom: Go, get out of here!
Liliana: Thank you, Xyaqom. We won't forget this.
Sierra: Thank you.
Liliana helped Sierra back on their feet, and the two made a run for it, leaving Kendril and me alone, at last. I then started walking towards him.
Xyaqom: (From my earpiece) Hey Ken, was that you that opened the doors?
Ken: Yeah. I worked as fast as I could to stop you from killing Sierra. Now, go kick Kendril's ass and get my son and the other kids back.
Xyaqom: Oh, I will.
As I was walking towards Kendril, he was still tending to his balls and cursing at Liliana for kicking him in his family jewels. He then looks up and sees that I was standing in front of him, walking towards him. He gets back on his feet, takes his 44 Magnum, and shoots me in the head with it, but I quickly catch it with my hand. Kendril was shocked that I was able to catch his bullet without any effort. Using my thumb, I put the bullet right back to him, going right through his right leg. Kendril grabs his leg, falls to the ground, and screams in pain.
Xyaqom: You're a real scumbag, you know that. I've met a lot of scumbags in my life, but you are the biggest one. (I then grab him by the neck and lifted him ten feet from the air) You're screwed, Kendril. I know all of your dirty secrets. How you're the boss of the Shadduck crime family, how you been kidnapping innocent civilians from their homes, bringing them to your warehouse and stealing their organs, and selling them to some planet. You're a real piece of work, and you know that. Face it, Kendril, you're fucked. I know everything.
?: Not everything, Xyaqom.
I turn my head to see who said that, and when I did, three red laser dots in the shape of an upside-down triangle, appeared on my head. The person then comes out of the shadow, revealing to be... Stephanie?!
Xyaqom: Stephanie?!
She was holding a plasma pistol with a laser attached to it. But how and where did she get that weapon? The only people or race that has that kind of weapon are the... No... She can't be...
Stephanie: Let Kendril go Xyaqom, unlike the weapons on this planet, this gun is strong enough to blow your head clean off!
Xyaqom: (I let Kendril go) Stephanie, I was wondering when you were going to come out of your hiding hole.
Stephanie: You have been a pain in my side for too long. I thought that killing my father and brothers would make things so much easier. But then you came along, and you just didn't know when to leave it all alone. I tried convincing my father that hiring you was a mistake, but he chose not to listen. I also tried to convince them that coming to this forsaken planet was a mistake, too, but again, he chose not to listen to me. He thought that we could live peacefully, live in a world where there's no war, violence, and conflict, and not have to hunt to survive. I tried to tell him that we were born into this kind of style, but he said that just because we were born to a violent race doesn't mean that we have to be violent ourselves. He even managed to convince my brother to follow his footsteps in a road of peace and harmony. My brothers may have chosen to follow my father's footsteps but not me. I haven't forgotten who we are.
Xyaqom: Why are you doing this?
Stephanie: I'm doing this so that I won't betray my race; I was born a warrior. Plus everybody has to make money to survive.
Xyaqom: But you're Vince's daughter, you're pretty much rich.
Stephanie: We may have lived well, but neither my brothers nor I was rich. My father was always a rich one.
Xyaqom: So, you kidnapped innocent people from their homes and stole their organs and sold them to some planet. And, you used the CCPO to do your dirty work to cover your tracks. Also, you keep saying that you were born to be a warrior and a hunter. If I had to guess, I would have to say that you are a... Huntorne.
Stephanie grinned when I said that, she then took her hand, and ripped her skin off, revealing that the skin wasn't skin at all, instead it was some sort of fabric, covering her gray hand that had sharp black claws. Kendril screamed like a teenage girl when he saw this.
Stephanie: You'd be surprised how easy it is to make disguises to blend in with the Earthlings. So many aliens come to this planet to start a new life. But because they look so different from the Earthlings, and because Earthlings tend to fear what they don't understand, they have to wear disguises to blend in with them. My race included.
Xyaqom: I guess that explains why your father and Shane had green blood when they died. At first, I thought it was a rare case for earthlings to have green blood, but now... I know why. Huntorne has green blood, not red.
Stephanie: Looks like you've made your history about us.
Xyaqom: Let's just say that there were a few times that I bumped into your kind.
Stephanie: Tell me, Xyaqom, have you ever wondered why it was so easy for you to be my father's bodyguard? Because he was an alien just like you. A normal Earthling would have called the police on you in a split second. If I knew ahead of time that you would be a thorn in my side, I would have killed you while father wasn't looking and make it look like an accident.
Xyaqom: That is if you got the chance to.
Stephanie: Oh, I would.
Xyaqom: So, you use the CCPO to do your dirty work and cover up your tracks. What about the kids? Why do you want them so badly?
Stephanie: Simple, they have been selected to be part of the Crimson Darkness project.
Xyaqom: What?! How the hell do you even know about that?!
Stephanie: Darkness and I happen to be good friends, and she gave me a list of kids that she wanted to be test subjects for the Crimson Darkness project. Tell me, have you ever wondered why Brad and Ashley felt weird, that they're a lot stronger than they should be? That's because they're not fully Earthlings. They have Drogon blood in them. They're Drogon hybrids. (I was shocked to hear this) Because of this, Darkness believes that those kids will be perfect test subjects for the project.
Xyaqom: So you want Brad and Ashley because they're Drogon hybrids. But what about Koan and Shelley? They're just normal Earthlings.
Stephanie: (Laughs) Shelley is, but Koan isn't.
Xyaqom & Ken: (We are both shocked at this) WHAT?!
Stephanie: Oh Ken, I know you're listening to this, you better listen carefully because I'm about to give you a history lesson about your ancestry.
Ken and I then listened to her history lesson since I didn't have much choice. I take notice of the window behind her. There were two choices that either kill Stephanie and Kendril. Keep listening to them? I was interested in listening to Ken's ancestry, so I decided to kill them after I heard what Stephanie had to say.
Stephanie: According to Darkness, there once lived a thief named Ivits Seinaruyami, of planet Seina. Ivits was a powerful and clever thief. He knew what artifacts to steal and when to steal them. But then one day, one of his heists went wrong, and he became the most wanted criminal in the galaxy. He tried to shake off the galactic police, but each planet that he would try to hide on, the residents of that planet would give away his position, making him have to flee out of the planet and run away from the law. But then one day, Ivits found out about Earth and how disconnected it was to the universe. Being on Earth was his best chance to do hide from the galactic police. The galactic police were unable to find Ivits because the people on Earth had no idea that there was life outside of their planet. After thirty days of trying to find Ivits, the galactic police gave up on their search for him and went back to their headquarters. Knowing that the galactic police would pick up his trail as soon as he left the planet, Ivits decided to make Earth his new home. Eventually, he settled down and got married and had many children. Their children were half Earthlings and half Seinas. However, as time went on, Ivits' kids had kids of their own, and their kids had kids of their own, and so on. However, each generation of the Seinaruyami family began losing their Seina blood in them. The first generation of the Seinaruyami family was full of Seinas. However, the second generation we're only fifty percent of Seina, and the third generation we're only twenty-five percent of Seina. Basically, with each passing generation, the Seina blood in them kept getting cut in half. By the 1950s, the generation of the Seinaruyami family only had 0.19 Seina in them. By the time Ken was born, he had 0.097 Seina blood in him. And when Koan was born, he was born with 0.048 Seina blood in him. Darkness believes that even with that small amount of Seina blood in him, she believes that Koan would be the perfect test subject.
Kendril: But wait, what about Ken? Ken has better results than his son, why not him?
Stephanie: At first, Ken was chosen over his son, but after having his little "Accident," his son was the next best thing.
Stephanie meant that after Ken lost the ability to use his legs, he was rendered useless by Stephanie and Darkness, and his son was next in line.
Xyaqom: Both of you are out of your fucking minds.
Stephanie: Were those your final words, I hope so because it's now time for you to die.
Xyaqom: (I look behind Stephanie) Sierra, is that you?
Stephanie: (Look behind her) What?!
Of course, Sierra was not there, and I tricked Stephanie into thinking she was so that I could briefly distract her so that I could kick her weapon off of her. I then did a leg sweep on her to make her fall on her back. I was about to perform the finishing blow to Stephanie, that is until Kendril sneaked up on me, used his taser to temporarily paralyzed me. Kendril then helps Stephanie back up to her feet, and they both began making a run for it. Pissed off that Kendril got in my way, I tried picking myself up to go after them. But because I was tased, and because electricity affects my nanomachines, I was having a hard time running after them because my body just wanted to lay down, but I was resisting the temptation.
I worked my way down to the main entrance and kicked the door open, hoping that Stephanie and douchebag Kendril would be seen outside the CCPO HQ. Sadly, they were nowhere to be found. I tried sensing Stephanie, but she must have known how to mask her power level since I couldn't sense her. I lost them. I was so pissed. I had both of them on my fingertips, and they both managed to slip away!
Xyaqom: GODDAMIT!
To Be Continued...
