Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Bait
Bait 12pm. Maxus knew his plan worked. Taking off the tracker from his jacket, hiding it within a location that most people wouldn't suspect, a location fit for him to fight without nearby causalities and fairly far away from most civilization: An airplane hangar within Seletar Airbase. The teenager boarded the bus, on his way to his afternoon lecture after missing morning's class with earbuds on, listening to the chatter on police radio and confirming his plan's success. "Warehouse is clear. No signs of the Soultaker, only his tracker. He knew we had bugged him, he purposely diverted us here." An officer reported. "We'll seal this place up regardless in case he's stupid enough to reutrn. In the meantime, search for any evidence." Maxus eventually reached his lecture halfway through the class, looking for Leah and his classmates who all turned to him, silencing the entire lecture theatre as he awkwardly spotted Leah and Reynesh among the crowd, keeping his head low and walkin
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore The Second Defender
The Second Defender "The Soultaker? Is he a threat?" 3 Months Ago. Officer Wong stood in front of his superiors, five high ranking officers looking at him with stern eyes, awaiting his response to their question. He was split, his professional side wanted to speak up as it was, vigilantes are dangerous and unable to be controlled yet, The Soultaker has proven himself to be someone willing to do good for Singapore."Not to us." Officer Wong decided. "Not to us? He is a murderer unbound by our laws, how is he not a threat?" A member of the council asks. "I believed that was all he was at first as well. In fact I had ordered my men to shoot on sight when news of his existence first met my ears. However, after personally seeing him in person, his actions and words have told me that he is not an enemy of Singapore. To be frankly speaking, he is more of a lost guy using the wrong methods to do good. An anti-hero." Officer Wong presents. "Good? What kind of good can a murderer possibl
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Blood of the Youth
One day when you need it the most...don't let your stamina fail you. That was the day Maxus decided to throw his life into being a killing machine. Cutting off contact with almost everyone he had known, the 15 year old did his research on every possible work out routine to build his strength and stamina, training day and night for hours and hours to reach his absolute physical peak, to become as strong as he could so that when could prepare for any physical danger that was thrown at him or rather...Throwing himself into danger. Almost daily, a ten kilometer run to start off his mornings. Five sets of ten burpees in the afternoon, half an hour of skipping with a five kg weighted vest followed up two to three hours of practicing and honing his techniques, constantly training himself to fight multiple opponents at once in order to never lose any fight he could encounter while remembering all of the things that Tony had taught him, doing cardio like this every alternate day to boost h
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Love Over Life
From the day she met him. Leah knew he was not like the others. A quiet and reserved person who gradually cracked more and more as she started to know him. A cold and emotionless guy on the outside who was carrying a load of guilt and pain no one his age should have to carry and yet despite everything he was going through...he still cared. At first, she just saw him as that. Someone who needed help and she did. However, time and time again Maxus always seemed to show up for her. When the loan sharks attacked his parents' stall, he was there to fend them off. When she herself started to crack under the financial pressure of her family, he was there to hold her together, to comfort her and make her feel like the world was still hopeful, that everyday after can be a better one. He opened up to her, told Leah about his painful past which was something she would have never expected him to do. The two of them had pain in them, but she knew that when they were together, much of that goes
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore The Revenant
25 Years Ago. 1989. The Revenant. That was the name given to him by the people of his village. Some people think he's nothing more than an urban legend, some people say he's history, part of his land and culture like a folk lore while others think that he is nothing more than an ordinary story that has been told out of proportions. Whatever the case, all these stories had many similarities and with each iteration, one thing remained consistent.The Revenant was the boy who died and came back. Everything was broken. Everyday that he opened his eyes, Yahamad Ismail thanked his gods for allowing him to live another day, repeating a process he had to accomplish daily in order to survive or more importantly...his loved ones had to survive. Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Yahamad could only remember the painful and horrible conditions of the village he was brought up in. Most people wouldn't even call it a village, but a slum. People were struggling to get their hands on basic necess
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Deserving Peace
Singapore was no longer the beautiful metropolis it was once known for.The streets weren't how Maxus remembered them to be. Charred stains, trash and debris filled the relatively empty streets with home made weapons like sticks and kitchen knives lying randomly on the floor. Once bustling streets of the average Singaporean neighborhood now looking like an abandoned wasteland with only the occasional civilian spotted roaming the now dangerous streets. Graffiti, which was once almost extinct within the country now more prominent than ever:ELITISTS ARE RUINING THE COUNTRY.PRIDE IS OUR DOWNFALL.Vandalism echoing sentiments of a country's shattered ego were everywhere as Maxus looked out the window of the bus he was on freshly discharged from the hospital with Leah by his side, holding his hand tightly. "Hey, don't look anymore. Just close your eyes and rest, I'll wake you when we reach." Leah tells him, seeing his mood change upon seeing the outside world."It's my fault..." Maxus mu
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Duo of Perfection
"You heard what he said right?" Yuki asks. "Gardens by the Bay. We'll head there after we beat these two clowns." Maxus confirms, taking his attention towards the Twins. Something about them was familiar, a pair of assassins who happen to be Twins...he knew he heard this from somewhere. Geko and Rasp. The green and purple bitch respectively. Maxus recalled hearing about them on the news, a pair of young assassins barely even legal adults sneaking into a festival to kill the President of a neighboring Southeast Asian country. They had to be the same people, The Revenant based on everything Maxus knew would only hire assassins of a high level of skill and reputation. "Bring me your heads!" Rasp shouted, leaping forward and slashing her scythe at Maxus and Yuki, forcing both vigilantes back when a volley of throwing knives were launched at them, prompting both vigilantes to use their weapons to deflect the incoming projectiles as fast as they could, splitting themselves far from each
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Living Blessed In Hell
"Yo wake up! Maxus!""Huh...""Someone's at the door." Yuki shook Maxus, waking him from his sleep as the door knocked once again, Leah's familiar voice echoing from outside:" Maxus? Maxus are you okay?"Oh...it's just Leah.Oh fuck it's Leah!Maxus shot up from the sofa he was sleeping on, looking around to see the blood stains all over the floor, their bloodied weapons and equipment scattered across the living room floor as well as the fact that Yuki was in his house. "Shit, can you help grab everything, shove it all into the storeroom beside the kitchen? Go please!""Where do I hide?""I don't know under the bed or something go!" Maxus stressed, prompting Yuki to wrap her arms around everything on the ground, quickly throwing them into the store room as she was instructed before quickly hopping over to Maxus' room, sliding herself underneath his bed while still holding onto her shoulder, trying her best to not place unneeded pressure on the wound."Maxus? Did you faint?"Maxus open

Birth of the Dragon
Bus trip time!Maxus and his friends! Maxus could feel the part of him that never grew up feeling slightly excited for what he was about to experience. Maxus had rarely experienced any form of travel nor luxury and now, he found himself awaiting in queue to board a 5 star luxury overnight bus, paid fully for by Siu."What do you mean charge my phone?" Maxus couldn't understand the features the bus offered."There's an in built charger on every seat." Dante explains."That's not possible.""Why not?"Gan sat beside Siu who were both in front of himself and Dante who was trying to hold back his laughter, watching Siu roll her eyes irritably as the gigantic Gan snored loudly in his sleep. "Aren't you pretty good at meditating?" Dante teased Siu while Maxus still inspected the bus seat's charging plug, still impressed in awe by the comfort and convenience the bus possessed."Meditating does not turn off my ears." Siu complained, grabbing her earpiece and turning up the volume of her musi

Fallen From Grace
Two heroes, killed in one day.Maxus now found himself waiting at the rooftop of Doctor Han's clinic, drenched in rainwater. It was stormy, violent winds paired with a heavy rain which blasted Maxus at full force which the vigilante just willingly tanked, hoping that his physical discomfort could somehow hurt more than lingering guilt he had crawling around his heart.The smell of wet asphalt filled his nostrils as a streak of lightning lit up the view in front of him, granting him a glimpse of the town as well as the two silhouettes of Tuskblade and Wing Serpent respectively, both of them finally arriving at the rooftop of Doctor Han's clinic."Soultaker? Are you alone?" Siu asks."Dante's downstairs being treated by Doctor Han. We were chased by the Puppet Man, both of us were completely outclassed. Nightbead found us, stayed behind to hold the Puppet Man back but I have not heard from him since then." Maxus summarized as Tuskblade took off his hardened leather mask, revealing the f

Cybernetic Nightmare
You're not indestructible.Your Kevlar laced clothes and armor can only protect you so much from the bullets and damage you constantly run into but at the end of the day, you're just somebody who doesn't know when to give up, somebody who cares more about punishing and saving rather than preserving your own life. Call it foolishness or bravery, you and I both know that is the truth. That's who you are... Maxus Tan. Who told me this...?Maxus could only spare a moment to remember those words as he was now sent flying across the air at uncontrollable speeds, smashing back first into the side of a parked van, shattering the glass and denting the metal doors of the vehicle. "Ugh..." Maxus could barely get back up when the cold metallic fingers of the Puppet Man grabbed him by the collar, tossing him into the air yet again.You cannot die. Not now.Maxus forced his eyes to stay open, deploying his chained blades which shot through to the roof of the police station, propelling him away fro

Strings of Torture
Colonel Amu closed his eyes, knowing in his heart that his final moments might be upon him.A six man vigilante squad had just defeated his entire military base of over a hundred men.He was in a dark room with a singular light bulb hanging on the ceiling. There was no visible entrance or window and in front of him was someone he never would have thought he would ever have the misfortune to meet and yet the demonic protector of Singapore himself, the Soultaker was in his presence. The vigilante's glowing hollow white eyes glared directly into the colonel's soul. "You don't know who I am, my kidnapping will have the Royal Thai Army down your throats in hours." Colonel Amu braved."My blade can be shot down your throat before you can even blink, wanna bet who's gonna be faster?" Maxus taunts."Why am I here?" Colonel Amu asks as from behind him, Siu lightly tapped her wrist blades against the Colonel's ear, warning him:" We know about the morgue and the people in your camp, there agains

The Penjaga
The PenjagaThis wasn't the first time Maxus had stepped foot in a luxurious estate. Nevertheless, he always found such places too surreal for him, admiring every last detail of the two story bungalow like house he had stepped into. The house reminded him of a villa, smooth bamboo, grey marble tiles and beige wood made up the majority of the materials in the house, providing a simple and cozy atmosphere.The main entrance led to a wide open concept living room that faced the seaside, allowing the cool breeze of the ocean to reach the living space, accompanied by the natural warm lighting of the environment. At the very center of the room, a large dark oak wooden table stood as Maxus took a seat, still admiring the many details the house boasted."I know it's pointless to say this but...out of courtesy, do make yourself at home." Dante tells him, sitting opposite him by the main dining table, placing his feet on the top of the table and munching down on raw olives. He was completely r

Dragon Fist
Maxus found the fighting style he was being attacked with familiar.Those sharp and powerful strikes, radiating with a raw primal intensity yet fluid and controlled, clearly needing years and years of training to achieve. Maxus didn't even want to utter another word, surging forward in a blur of explosive punches, testing his opponent's caliber through sheer overwhelming attacks, seeing how this mysterious stranger would respond.Maxus' blows thundered through the air, each one a testament to his battle experience and reputation. The mysterious stranger ducked and weaved through the attacks, moving like a graceful fighter when avoiding the attacks, his movements emulating those of a serpent like creature.He's adapting...Maxus switched up his fighting style just in the nick of time as the mysterious fighter retaliated:" I don't wanna do this. Stop!"The man clawed at the air towards Maxus, performing a series of complex patterns weaving intricately at Maxus who suddenly found himself

Guardian of Southeast Asia
Maxus had been called many things.The Soultaker, the guardian of Singapore. The man who overthrew the Blood Lion and his armies. The man who massacred the invading forces of the Revenant, killer of the Asia's most infamous assassins, defeater of the Red Scorpion and now more recently, the demon rampaging across the criminal world of Southeast Asia.All of the corpses surrounding him, the fists and blades blasting at him, the bullets whizzing right past him or striking his Kevlar sewn jacket and armor. Fighting to him now was nothing more than second instinct, it was almost like he could predict the future, reading through enemy strikes like an open book and countering even before they finished launching their attacks. "It's him! Run!""Run?! We cannot lose this place! We have to fight back!"18 whole criminal organizations have fallen since the day he left Singapore. Hundreds of the people who have fallen victim to him, in jail or morgues. The rumors and stories of the Soultaker has

The Death of Maxus, The Rise of Soultaker
Daylight. It was finally peaceful. Maxus opened his eyes slowly, his head spinning in pain as his consciousness and senses slowly returned. He was barely recovered, many parts of his body still aching with soreness and pain but for the most part, it was the most refreshed Maxus had ever felt in weeks especially with the immediate weight of the Revenant's threat now gone. Memories of the previous night was hazy, all he could remember were the flashing images of Ali and Reynesh picking him up, bringing him to their house where he provided the number of Madam Ang to come and help him with his injuries. Madam Ang did what she was best at, helping tend to his injuries while Maxus slipped in and out of consciousness for hours and...someone...a familiar and gentle presence helped clean him up. "Officer Wong...Yuki..." Maxus' attention diverted to his fallen allies. Was Yuki still alive? Did the medics manage to stabilize her condition? "I was wondering when you'd wake up fully, you're
