Good day readers hope everyone is well
Finny and Marco were staring at each other, their eyes shifting from their hand to the cards they were holding, and then back to one another, letting out meaningful grins now and then.“A hundred grand.”Marco’s face lit up hearing the other man’s bet.He puffs a smoke, pushing a sizeable chunk of chips that he had on his side of the table. But the whole thing tumbles down when the earth shakes, causing the desk to wobble from the tremor.“What was that?”Finny was quick to stand up, noticing the reverberating off the ground along with the non-stop ruckus that was coming from outside.There were shouting, bantering, and cursing from several men, then a trembling would occur which would make them pause.“Looks like they’ve finally gotten my invitation.”Marco smirks, sensing the ominous aura that was closing in on them.The whole sensation felt so heavy, almost making him shake in his place from the mix of fear and excitement. His insides, twitching, as if it was being tickled by littl
“I’m not done yet!”Marco’s voice echoed as he burst out from the rubble that fell on him, face red with murderous eyes. The man was breathing heavily, increasing his size again.He only stops, noticing how the group of people raised their brow at him with a bored look on their faces.“We’re getting ready to leave. If you wish to join in, then best you prepare your men.”The thick cloth person states before turning to the others to continue the discussion that got halted.“Wait, who made you the boss suddenly?”Marco grumbled, eyes twitching, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, since all the people there were busy chattering.“Just move it, you big oaf.”Finny scolds, rushing to go to his companion’s side. The man ended up dumbfounded while being pulled out of the pile of rubble.Brushing him off, he gets dragged right in the middle of the conversation of two mask individual and the Raynald.“Lord knight, have you contacted the steward?”The oddly looking, dressed, masked
Atop one building that was overlooking the sea, the group remained looking down on the pier, filled with large boats and shipping containers.With all of those things, the place could have blended in nicely within that area. If it wasn’t for the vast number of roaming guards patrolling all over the site.The gathered gang leaders’ attention shifted when they all sense and approaching presence.It did not take long before a figure emerged from the shadows, but the person who came out of there ended up wide eyed in fear, noticing the sharp gazes that were locked on to him the second he appeared.“So, how is it? Can we get in?”Finny asks, detecting that his subordinate froze in terror from the pressure of the crowd that were there.He cleared his throat the moment he snapped out of his daze, whiffling the dread that took over him.“The place is heavily guarded, boss. They have about a thousand men there, with radars, anti tanks rifles, and even cannons.”The information caused an abrupt
Somewhere deep inside the bowels of the pier, hidden, was a row of different cages, all having certain fixed apparatus or material attached to them. And in them were wary power users, cramped in those specialize prison.That included the three youths of the black thirteen. They placed all of them beside one another’s containment, as they already constrained the space with prisoners.“Kyle, are you okay?”Julie shakes her own jail in order to get the others’ attention.His friends were still unconscious, filled with bruises and wounds after their struggle to fight off their enemies.It took a while before the lad opened his eyes, along with their other comrade. The man was hanging from his prison, with both his arms and feet attached to the opposite side of the box, clasp in a special cuff that encased half his parts.After a good groan, Kyle wandered his sights, checking the place where they were. His entire body throb, his wounds continued to sting along with the ache in his ribs.“
Everyone’s attention turned to several people in white robes that entered. All of them had these gas masks on, along with some odd machinery and devices. At least four uniformed individuals escorted each of them, all carrying rifles and other weapons.The youths felt a sudden surge of dread, noticing how the other prisoners were retreating to the ends of their cages. Eyes glaring while some trembled in fear.There was a pause in all three as each of them looked at each other with terror. Hearts racing at what was happening, they were the few who had recently got abducted, so they knew nothing of what went on for the past hours.“Looks like it’s time for your checkup.”The man states, giving a good tap on their cage before moving away. He had this wide grin on his face, throwing them all a mocking stare, noticing how their brave faces vanished.It didn’t take long before the said group of people reach them. The ones in robes kept looking into their devices, murmuring static words at o
“Nikolay, thank god you’re here.”One of the scientist approach the scaled man the moment he stepped into the watchtower.From there, they could see everything that was happening below. From burning containers, lights shooting in the sky and outside the walls, and an abrupt explosion every minute.“What the hell is going on?”Nikolay’s face crumples, his gaze narrowing at the chaos that was ensuing all around them. The beasts had infiltrated the barriers and were now running all over the place, and the soldiers were getting pushed back, all to avoid being overrun.“We don’t know. Those monsters suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started attacking the base.”A soldier states.He shows them the radar that they have there. The supposed black screen had gotten filled with so much red dots that it looked like that was its color.“Why didn’t the alarm sound go off?”He asks, glaring at the group that was expected to be watching over the perimeter.All of them turned pale, backing away wh
“What the hell are you guys doing?”The man murmured, seeing how Julie’s legs were out of the cage and reaching into the next one. All the while, the others were cheering her on.Finally, moving into the light, the youth had now seen whose glowing eyes those were. Their faces lit up at the sight of the guy.“Boss!”They all scream aloud in joy, tearing up at seeing him there.“How’d you guys get in here?”Julie asks, realizing that more men were coming out of the shadows behind their leader. The individuals immediately scattered to unlock the prisoners there.“We’ll, these people didn’t bother reinforcing the floor.”Raynald points to the hole that was on there. It was only then that everyone saw the rupture on the ground. They covered the thing in roots and had large petals on its side.The youngster was keen to move about in their cages as their saviors began fiddling and tinkering with the locks to open them.“It’s no surprise, considering they wanted to avoid getting noticed while
There was a pause from the two groups that were facing off upon meeting one another. There was sudden staring competition between them, since none wanted to move first, not wanting to end up on the losing side if they made a mistake.“My oh my, if it isn’t the flame demon.”Nikolay’s face turned menacing, seeing the sergeant among the people that were there.His skin quickly transformed into its full scaled, noticing the burst of crimson glow coming out of the soldier.“You know this guy?”Marco frowned, hearing how their enemy called out the man’s name.“This one’s mine. You take the other ones.”Raynald grumbled, grinding his teeth, feeling that surge of rage that began taking over him upon seeing his captors there.He had this sense of urgency and gratitude that he had the chance to meet the guy who was the reason for his humiliation and abduction.“Seems you have a score to settle.”Marco’s face turned amused, a smirk appearing on his lips, sensing the anger that was brewing at h
