Chapter 6: The Assassin
Davis and Dennis' necks are on the line as they observe the person behind them. This guy looked pretty dull-coloured as an overall appearance. He had black hair and wore black sunglasses. He also wore black clothing with a dull green cape. Davis seemed to remember him seeing someone similar to the one that tried to kill him and Dennis last night.
Davis and Dennis didn't know what to do at the moment. One wrong move and they could be dead in an instant. Both of them could not speak to each other as that would be a wrong move. All they could do was just wait and see what would happen.
The assassin was still for a while before he disappeared in a whoosh and reappeared further behind them.
Davis and Dennis were surprised that he didn't kill them. They turned around. The assassin and the two Sire brothers are now facing each other.
"Who are you?" Davis demanded.
The assassin smirked. "Although my name is of no importance to you two, I may as well reveal my name to you guys."
The assassin made three steps forward and introduced himself. "My name is Felix. That's all you need to know."
"No…that's not all." Dennis exclaimed. "We also want to know why you sneaked into our house last night and tried to kill us?"
"Is that so?" Felix said. "You must have been mistaken. I don't think I'm him."
"You're lying!" Davis cried. "I clearly saw your shadowy figure holding a dagger and trying to kill me!"
"Really?" Felix rolled his eyes. "Well…even if that is so, why I would wanna kill you both is none of your and my concern. And my name is all you need to know about me."
"Then that means you're planning to kill us?"
"I never said I planned to kill you. But now I shall say I want to kill you both!"
Felix put one of his daggers back into his coat and disappeared again with a fast whoosh of wind. Before Davis and Dennis could react, they felt sharp pain on their stomachs. Both of them were completely caught off guard by Felix's fast attack.
"In terms of speed, you two are no match against me," Felix chuckled.
Davis and Dennis got up, with blood dripping from the cut suffered from Felix's dagger. Despite that, Davis and Dennis got back into their fighting stances.
"Ah…not giving up?"
"As if!" Dennis cried.
"A mere cut won't stop us," Davis supported Dennis' statement.
With that, Davis ran towards Felix and launched a fist attack at him.
Felix made a quick smirk before avoiding Davis' attack with ease with his flashy movement.
"Take that!" Dennis yelled and jumped quickly with his leg stretched towards Felix, to Felix's total surprise.
Felix tried to avoid Dennis' kick with his same flashy movement, but was hit by Dennis' leg on his torso, sending Felix down to the ground.
Davis and Dennis regrouped together. "Good job, Dennis."
"Ha!" Dennis mocked at Felix. "You can't fool us twice even if you're faster than us."
Felix got back up and smiled.
"What's so happy about?" Dennis demanded.
"You haven't seen anything from me!" Felix roared. "You think a kick will exploit my weakness? Not once in your lifetime!"
With that, Felix started making multiple images of himself. Davis remembered Felix doing the same thing as he did last night, in order to escape. That made Davis wonder: "Is Felix trying to escape again?"
After a while, it did not seem like it. Felix was creating multiple images to confuse both Dennis and Davis.
"Are you able to figure out which is the real Felix of those images?" Davis whispered to Dennis.
"I can't tell," Dennis replied. "He's moving way too fast!"
As Davis and Dennis looked on, Felix, still multiplying images of himself, tried to intimidate them, "Surprised until you don't know which one is really me? Hehehe at this rate you'll be as good as dead!"
"Shut up!" Dennis felt provoked by Felix's statement and started to hurl multiple blue energy blasts at all of Felix's images.
"Calm down, Dennis!" Davis cried. "Just attacking without strategizing is not gonna help!"
But Dennis was just fuming so much that he couldn't even hear what Davis had just said as he continued to fire energy blasts at the images.
The images seem to disappear upon impact of the energy blasts, but Felix is still multiplying. Felix laughed evilly before he stopped multiplying and disappeared from the fading images. Before Davis and Dennis could even realize what was going on, both of them each felt not one, but two sharp slashes on their lower torso. These two slashes were so fast that the second slash sent them both upwards before collapsing onto the ground with a heavy impact.
The slashes this time seemed to be deeper than before as both Davis and Dennis hold their stomachs in pain.
"Hahaha!" Felix laughed. "I told you you're no match against me. I have a lot of tricks up my sleeves."
"You bastard!" Dennis yelled and charged towards Felix.
"No use," Felix told Dennis as he disappeared from the reaches of Dennis and reappeared…right in front of Davis, who appeared to have suffered a deeper cut than Dennis and was on the ground being motionless rather than standing up.
"What are you doing?!" Dennis asked in an agitated tone.
"You ought to know what I'm gonna do," Felix laughed without facing Dennis. He then grabbed Davis' throat with his left hand and his back facing Dennis and made a slash on Davis with his dagger. Blood splattered from Davis's upper body.
"NOOO!!!!" Dennis could not take it any longer. The wind around him started to brew up as if a mini tornado is about to be produced.
Felix dropped the motionless Davis and turned around. "What the…" Felix was surprised to see the current situation.
More wind started to stir up as Dennis looked at Felix with stern eyes. "Nobody but I can touch my brother!!!"
Dennis jumped up and started spinning in a full circle, with his right leg stretched out, towards Felix. Wind started to blow strongly around Dennis. Dennis is fast approaching Felix.
"This is my Hurricane Kick!!" Dennis roared. "I'm gonna make sure you'll die after hurting my brother!"
Felix was stunned for a while. But he managed to recover just in time to teleport away from the deadly reaches of Dennis' Hurricane Kick and barely missing it.
Upon missing, the wind died down. Dennis dropped back onto the ground, panting and exhausted from the large amount of energy used on casting Hurricane Kick over a long distance.
"Sorry," a voice echoed. Felix reappeared to the left side of Dennis. Dennis, being heavily exhausted, had no chance of reacting as Felix ran past him and made a fast slash on him. Then Felix jumped up and turn to face Dennis again.
"Like I've said…I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeves. Now I shall let you have a taste of my knife!" Felix reached into his coat and started to pull out a red dagger as he prepared to immediately throw it towards Dennis.
Suddenly Felix sensed something amiss. He withdrew his attempt to throw his dagger and teleport back to the ground, just in time to see Woody blasting his Tiger Dash in the direction of where Felix used to be after coming out his own teleport portal.
"A third party?" Felix groaned as Woody landed on the ground. "Hmph. This is no fun at all. Guess I'll see ya all again sometime." Felix teleported away from them and was truly gone…for the moment.
Woody looked at the injured states of both Davis who was unconscious and Dennis, who was on his knees. "This is bad. I'm gonna have to take both of you to our martial arts school. I can't let Mrs. Sire see you two in this state if I bring you two back home."
"AHHHHHH!!!!!" Dennis yelled at the top of his lungs that echoed through the whole forest. Then he collapsed on the ground. It would seem that his loud burst consumed his last amount of energy before it was too much for him to handle. Woody shook his head.
A sound of someone dashing through the leaf litter alerted Woody. "He's coming back?" Woody wondered as he got into fighting stance.
A boy with red-violet hair appeared on the scene. It was Stinky. Woody got back to normal standing position and looked sternly at him.
Stinky could not believe what was in front of his eyes. Davis and Dennis were both bleeding profusely from their wounds mainly suffered on their stomachs.
"What are you standing there for? Give me a hand here!" Woody demanded.
Stinky approached Davis and Dennis and carried Dennis and his backpack while Woody carried Davis and his backpack as they made their way to their martial arts school.
