Chapter 6: Maya meets the hunter
Two days later Ky was following the leader of a Mexican gang of criminals and killers who called themselves los luchadores. Their leader saw the opportunity to establish his gang into the first place of all the gangs in the city since the voodoo killers and the walking dead were gone even when they didn't knew who took them out of the game. Now with their rivals eliminated the leader of los luchadores who was known as El rey was spreading the word about his ascension to the big leagues of crime to anyone related to it.
What he didn't realize is that his plan just made it easier for the stealthy hunter who was hunting him and who soon the el rey will meet as the worst living nightmare he'll ever meet.
Ky's been following this crime lord everywhere while he was cloaked so obviously he won't be detected but that turned into a problem since Ky used the tech vision of his mask and discovered many thermal cameras scattered all around this block of the city, which meant that even if he's invisible the camera could pick his heat signature so if he was going to follow to el rey, first he needed to disable all the cameras so he changed to the thermal vision and found a police officer walking near his position.
-"I bet this guy can disable the cameras if I scan his face in the city's transit cameras…those things will stop working." Ky thought so he ran towards the cop and grabbed him from his head and took him to the city's transit scanner to disable the cameras, luckily Ky's theory was right and the cameras were disabled.
-"Thanks for your service trooper…say good night." Ky said and he smashed the cop's head against the wall.
Later Ky had followed the el rey to the headquarters of his gang to plan his big strike.
-"If Maya and Boomer were here right now, I'll probably tell them that I can take these guys out in two moves." Ky said de-cloaking himself and recharging his energy, just then el rey ordered his gang to mount up into the cars and start their assault to the city, what they haven't realize is they were on route to Ky Stax's trap so they pass right near three different gas stations and when they were between the streets with the stations near them Ky used his plasmacaster and shot at one of the stations making the three of the stations explode and killing every member of los toreros gang, but their leader el rey survived the explosion and he was trying to get away until Ky jumped down and shot him with his speargun decapitating el rey.
-"I'll be damned…I actually eliminated them all in two moves." Ky thought and after he left the place he stood in a gargoyle of a skyscraper as he was thinking on a matter that's been haunting him since the incident of the church.
-"She knows that I'm the one who's been giving them all the kairu, I shouldn't have underestimated her about it…I even saw her in the warehouse, she does look very bad and it's all my fault, I should tell her that I'm still here even if it goes against what I've been taught. And I'll be a lucky guy if she ever forgives me about it. It's not like if someone could forgive me after I was disappeared for seven months." Ky thought so after he made up his mind he headed to the monastery.
Later that night, Maya was reading a book searching for something related to the so called kairu hunter though she never find anything related to the hunter she saw in the warehouse but she found something related to the origin of the hunter's gear and weaponry.
In one of her books there was information about creatures from another part of the galaxy that used to came to planet Earth every 100 years to hunt their prey that were the worthiest humans trough time, she also learned the traditions of these hunting creatures like they never killed or hunted kids, women that were pregnant or any adversary that was unarmed so in other words these creatures lived under a code of honor. She also learned about their weapons and gear and all the stuff that it was on the book was exactly the same gears and weapons the kairu hunter had.
-"So…whoever this kairu hunter is, he knows about this? But that doesn't make any sense; if he's following the code of honor of the creatures shouldn't he be trying to hunt us because we're kairu warriors and we're also considered to be in the worthiest humans prey?" Maya thought but if she kept like this she could feel that her head would explode for many thoughts so she decided to exit the X-scaper and take some fresh air, when she reached the training field of the monastery, she heard something.
-"Over here."
-"What?" Maya asked nervous.
-"Over here."
-"Who's there?" Maya asked looking behind her.
-"Over here."
Maya was getting very nervous since she heard the voice coming from everywhere and then she froze when she felt a speargun's cannon right behind her head.
-"Turn around."
Maya turned around and she saw a silhouette of somebody but then the kairu hunter deactivated his cloaking device.
-"What are you doing here?" Maya asked.
-"Whether you'll believe it or not, I'm looking for you." The hunter said laying down his weapon.
-"Why did you help us in our quest and why did you saved us from the Hiverax? And most importantly, why did you kill them?" Maya asked curious.
-"Because you and your friend are the only ones in that filthy city that fight for what's good and fair, and about those Hiverax? Let's just say that you and I shared a bloody revenge against them." The hunter said.
-"We shared? Wait a minute…Who are you?" Maya asked and the kairu hunter, as much as he didn't want to, proceeded to remove his mask. After the red mask was removed Maya was freeze as ice but she felt a burning happiness inside her.
-"Someone who's a ghost for many people." Ky said after he removed his mask and Maya was still staring at him.
-"I'm sorry I haven't told you about it, I just…" Ky said but Maya hugged him and then he hugged her back.
-"Thank God, I thought you were death…I'm so glad you're alive." Maya said while she was crying tears of happiness.
-"At least she's not mad at me." Ky thought and then the two of them stared at each other.
-"But…how?" Maya asked.
-"It's quite a complicated story…" Ky said but Maya silenced him by pressing her finger in his lips.
-"You'll tell me later, but now…" Maya said as she was getting closer to Ky to kiss him.
But then a paralysis spray attack hit Ky and Maya and then they were knocked out by somebody.
When Ky regain his conscience he could barely see but he found himself tied up to a bed that was being transported to somewhere and next to him was Maya, who was unconscious on the same kind of bed. Then Ky saw the silhouette somebody who was talking to the people who ambushed him and Maya.
-"We got them; we're taking them to the test camera." One of the doctors said.
-"Good, I want them ready in 30 minutes." The man said and Ky recognized the voice of the person.
-"No…no…not him." Ky whispered as he knew that the man who ordered his people to attack him and Maya was the evil master Lokar. Now trapped Ky could feel that there was nowhere to run and the only thing he could do was wait for the end and remember the beginning.
