Chapter 5

My head was fuzzy, that may not have been the actual word for it. Everytime my eyes opened i saw stars, before finally they fixated on something. A spotlight, where the hell was I now? Thats right some person shot me with a tranquilizer dart. I made a mental note to rip that person limb from limb when I got the chance. My hopes were it would be much much sooner than far later. Sounds of something in the background jarred me to sit up.

"Uhh, now what?" I asked a question I didn't have to witnessing the little kunnoichi from earlier. Why was she here? It didn't matter currently she seemed to be fighting some people that was keeping the exit blocked. That wasn't going to do at all, witnessing the girl use her signature kick. It did little damage to the man she sent toppling, was she weak or was it more, I bet her ribs were still broken. I now began my slightly hurried pace over to her.

I was a little late to stop the bludgening she recieved early on, my hands wrapping about one man's neck. It snapped like a twig no matter how strong you were my fighting style could handle you. Sambu allowed me to focus on joints and such, like it only takes eight pounds to crush a knee, small features like that made my job that much more enjoyable. The man dropping would draw another to look at me, swinging with the baton in his hand.

I caught his wrist and locked it with my left. Using my right arm in an uppercut manner I shattered the man's forearm. The bone shooting out of the top of his flesh, the whitish blood soaked bone had a pointed edge. I didn't even hear the man scream, I didn't care jamming the sharp edge into his neck making sure to drive it deep into his trachea. He would suffocate from blood, it gave me a mild satisfaction. Noticing the men would fan out a little with my now coherent moves and thoughts.

My left arm pulling the girl up to rest against me, it wasn't like I had to help her. I probably should have snuck past these fools while they pummled her. I found myself compelled to save her, the only thought was if someone was going to beat the hell out of her it would be me. No one else would get that priveledge I would make sure of it today. The men would come again, I had no time to answer the girl when she asked in English What I was doing. I simply responded in English, "Get ready."

It was imperative that we deal with this group of wannabe soldiers and then would could leave. Moving away from the girl, I dropped low only to rise swiftly my shoulder blade catching a man under the chin lifting him into the air. While his body would begin to fall down, I caught his legs adding my only special force remembering seeing that blonde girl in the last tournament do this. I did hear the man's vertebrate snap like a twig good another dead and nothing to worry about.

For a moment I noticed the girl doing something off on a man's shoulders? Only to shake my head as she broke his neck using his own limbs as leverage quite effective. She seemed to lack muscle but her speed was undeniable, something I would remember the next time we crossed combat. My eyes catching someone swinging a weapon to my left. Ducking under the baton the man would be in front of me. I swiftly wrapped my arm around his throat and pulled up. Using my boot to step on the back of his knee forcing him to kneel.

I remembered that girls corkscrew kick, it was quick, this would work right. "Girl!" I had yet learned her name and figured yelling girl in English would grab her attention hopefully she would understand what I meant. To my understanding she did rushing forward and using the kick. I felt the man's spin snap, along with his neck, this was what team work was supposed to be about. Well done, I might could get use to a partner if they all paid attention like this girl did. Lifting my arm I let the mangled body drop without a second thought.

I had turned my focus to a man near me, locking my two hands together I spun my body. Adding the momentum along with my calloused over knuckles I shattered his jaw with ease sending the man flying along the floor itself. I vaguely remember hearing the girl say something, Ayane? Must have been her name, I figure it be easier to say that than girl everytime I wanted her attention, turning when I heard her say something to me.

Russian? That had to be me, turning to face her I witness her use a jumping uppercut with her legs. The man's body sent flying in my direction. His back was to me, I knew exactly what to do. Catching his body with my arms I locked them about his abdomen. With a simple hard squeeze I felt the vertebrate in his spine snapped. Only to finish this move off with allowing me to fall back. The german suplex applied as the concrete shattered with the impact.

I let the dead body fall to the side when I finally stood up, looking toward the girl I figured I say my name. I had no urge to be called the Russian everytime she desired my attention. Especially since she was kind enough to give me her name. "Bayman." Wether or not she heard me was completely up to her, then again I was half sure she was paying attention. A voice coming on the loud speaker gathered my full attention. Something about good good release project X-75.

Wait thats right we were on a Doatec base, I remember before passing out Donovan. That son of a bitch, I would kill him this time, not only had he put a hit out on me the bastard had the nerve to use me as a test dummy. No time to voice my opinion on the matter seeing the metal doors open and a large man emerge, it didn't matter to me the size I would kill him just the same. Though my usually calm partner seemed to be alarmed almost like she saw a ghost.

That easily came with an answer when she rushed the large man, screaming Raidou? Apparently someone from her past. I could vaguely recall Doatec's purpose in a ronin village in Japan. Could have been the one I was checking out earlier. In fact I believed it was, blinking once now as my partner ran ahead. Was she paying attention? I noticed the shadow moving into an odd stance, wait she was going to! "Ayane!" My voice boomed forward even as the girl ignored it.

I would run after her only to witness the man spin around using a karate roundhouse and catching the girl along the jaw. Damn I barely saw the kick this guy was fast real fast. I witness blood and what I thought was tears leak from the girls face when she was sent flying and landing on the hard ground. I would use my tank roll and attempt a leg trip on the man, to my dismay he was powerful. Blocking my leg takedown, and then slamming his heel into my stomach.

Damn he weighed a lot, spit flying from my lips as I coughed loudly. My instincts saving me as I rolled back to avoid a second stomp. My eyes cutting to Ayane as I spoke quickly, "We have to get out of here." I was forced to speak English since it was the only language we shared in common at the moment. I didn't even hear her response, feeling the man lift me by my temples. My legs dangling while I swung them back and forth feeling my skull about to crack. My hands clutched the man's wrist as I tried to break free.

A sudden thud and awkward step by the man would buy me a little time. Swinging my legs up I wrapped them about his arm, and pulled back. I was going to shatter his elbow, to my suprise he didn't give an inch, instead I was slammed into the concrete like a jackhammer, my eyes going dim as a red color covered them. It didn't take a genious to know I was bleeding bad now did it. My hands slowly trying to lift me up to standing, hearing random punches and such exchanged.

A shrill scream caught my full attention, seeing the man throw a punch into the girls stomach only to lift her up by her throat. Damnit, we weren't going to win this fight this guy was unreal in all physical aspects. Running forward I would punch the guy in the stomach. I swore I saw him grin only to slam the girl into my body sending both of us toppling into the ground with a force unimaginable by words. My hands soaked in my own blood before I spoke up, "Ayane if you can hear me we are going to have to run."

I didn't care at the moment of what she would say, I intended to leave. Lifting the wounded kunnoichi onto my back I looked toward the man known as Raidou. He would bellow a laugh and even had the nerve to say he wasn't going to let us leave? Yeah right, the shit could fuck off for all I cared. Running toward the door I noticed it begin to close, shit now what? With all my force and speed I threw myself along with Ayane through the closing steel doors.

I landing with a painful thump along tree trunks and roots. This was the outside of the base wasn't it? It made no sense but for now I couldn't question it. Noticing Ayane begin to get up, I motioned with my hands to put her arms around me and hold on. She was suffering from broken ribs, I just had a bunch of bruising. At least there was no arguing feeling the light girl clutch about my throat. Only to allow me to run ahead carrying her on my back.

It was beginning to rain and it was hot, where the fuck were we? I slipped once in the mud, falling onto my knee I noticed a boat patrol. I lowered down waiting on them to pass, only to keep running, luck finally cutting me a break as I found a road. My body was coated in blood, mud, and other umentionable liquids. It just reminded me of crawling through Russia during the soviet union. Ayane seemed to be fighting back tears, only to eventually start crying as we walked.

I didn't bother asking what about, I didn't picture her one for crying. Then again I didn't picture her to run up at a man and attack him with no thought of how. Apparently the man known as Raidou had a deep connection to this girl. None of my buisness or concern though. I saw a rather large town up ahead, finally a chance to rest. Moving ahead I would walk into the first hotel I could find, it didn't matter if it was a roach motel or the Hilton I was going to stay.

The man behind the counter would eye me and the girl as if I was a kidnapper or something far worse. I raised my hand, "Hiking.." My thick Russian accent choking up my English words. The man just nodding before speaking up, "We have only one room, this is tourist season on the island of Dresco in the Bahamas. So if you mind paying for a suite I suggest you go else where." I was pissed and wanted to break this guys neck like a chicken bone.

However I didn't want to argue either, those guys at that place wouldn't just let Ayane and me escape free now would they? Island of Dresco, I never heard of it, however when he mentioned the Bahama islands maybe this was just a private island near them. Ayane finally slid off my back, allowing me to dig for my wallett, at least those bastards hadn't stole it. Removing several hundred american dollars I set them on the table. "I don't want to be disturbed."

The man took my money with glee handing me some plastic cards, apparenlty I needed to slide them to access my room. I hated these damn things, whatever happen to good ol fasion keys. I slipped one in Ayane's hand as I moved toward the elevator. It was up to her to stay or go I didn't care. Then again I don't think she was thinking. I felt like I had a puppy following me, her head lowered and feet barely keeping her within three feet of me.

The elevator shut and lifted us to the top floor pent house, at least it was large. Looking at the main room it had simple furniture, and a large tv. A shame I didn't give a shit about that, moving to a bedroom I saw the bed, that was all that mattered I wanted to sleep. That would come crashing to an end however. I heard Ayane begin to cry, her small form curled up on the end of the couch. For some stupid reason I felt compelled to be concerned about her.

I blew off so many other people why did I care to help her? Moving to the couch I put my arm around her, half expecting her to slap it away. To my suprise she didn't even snuggling close to my body, her tears quieting. I didn't even get to ask what was wrong before I heard her deadly serious words. "You tell anyone you saw me cry and I will kill you."
