Those Hunted

I look at Xypher and the panicking man, and shake my head slowly. However, from one of the boxes, the lid explodes as a stream of steel-gray iron balls flood out, flooding up through the hatch and tearing through my barrier to prevent smoke from entering, which turned back into the ladder bars, and the balls exploded into the world above, with a large circle of little fires, no plant life whatsoever, and scorched Earth. I climb up the ladder, completely sure of the reconstructivelyness, and emerge above, stretching myself leisurely as the iron balls flew about around the clearing, too speedy to see, and acting as a barrier to any projectile.
 
Xypher rolls her eyes at Baker before waving the others to follow her as she climbs up the ladder. Seeing the destruction and scorched earth on top she scowls at Baker. "Okay what happened? This looks a little overboard even for a Mutant fight" her voice is chiding. Taking a deep breath she summons her water to her, conjuring it in her hands as orbs at first then it starts to quickly spread out in front of her in a giant swirling globe the water a clear ocean blue/green, before long the water has spread out in all directions of where it is still burning. She dumps it on the fire extinguishing them all then she lightly spreads the rest of the water over the scorched earth within the barrier hoping to at least hydrate it.
 
I shrug. "Mutant team tried to kill me. You and the other guy were in the crossfire. Weren't for me, we'd be coughing and suffocating down there... well not really, since I could make an escape for the smoke, but whatever." I wave my hand vaguely, dismissing it. "I managed to take down most of the team, since they were trying to get away after I formed up defenses, had them taken down, and made another set." Again, I shrug, dismissively. "They try to kill me, I try to kill them."
 
She shakes her head at Baker folding her arms across her chest after shes done with the water. "I assume it was Deus's group? Or at least part of it?" she grins slightly at his choking on smoke comment "Uh huh, you keep thinking that Mr. Big Bad Metal man" her voice is back to teasing though her eyes scan the area hating the unwarranted destruction she sighs softly. "What now? Deus obviously wants us to either join him or he'll "take us out" at least thats what he thinks. I dont know about you but I dont find the appeal of killing off humanity because somebody is a egoist and thinks the Mutant race is superior to all" her voice has a bitter undertone.
 
I half-turn to her, looking [more or less] across my shoulder at her, an eyebrow raised in a bemused expression. However, before the expression is set for more than a couple seconds, it disappears, the apathetic face sliding back into place, like a wall that raises and lowers at will.
 
Wolf sat across the table once again, Smith sliding the next assignment over. It was lighter than all the others, alot less thick also. He opened it to a single picture of a shadowy man in what looked like a ragged hood. The bottom of the picture said "Code Name: Insanity" Around him were a group of dead Swat Team Members, all bullet holes in their head's and pistols in hand. Insanity was smiling towards the camera as the picture was taken, standing in the dark room with only one light. Smith said "It gets worse..." He slide his smart phone across the table, a video ready to be played on it. Wolf clicked play, a projection of it played on the wall. Each Swat man pistols pointed at one another, each talking fastly in a craze, confused on who was what. The first shot went off, then the next and the next and so forth. Finally one guy was left, who feel to his knee's crying like a child. He brought the pistol to his own head and fired. Insanity appeared in the dim spotlight, a red wicked grin on its face. On the floor at his feet, the blood of the last killed man spelled out "More?" The video cut out in a static explosion. Smith nodded and said "More Bad news, No Zero or Blade this mission, they will be their for pick up however!" Smith got a phone call, and quickly mouthed one second and left the room. In Smith's bag, a folder that read "Possible Contracts For Elite Hunters" Curious, Wolf grabbed the folder, took the first page out and folded it into his pocket.


An hour later Wolf stood outside a warehouse someplace in Massachusetts. It was nightfall, no cars lined the streets and the HoverCopter that dropped him off flew off over the water. Walking into the warehouse, the light connected to his helmet clicked on, and Wolf made his way to the spotlight in the large open room full of shipment crates. Going to the light, the bodies were gone and the blood that spelled "More?" Was dried, and cracking. A cold voice calmly spoke in what seemed like his ear "Did they only send one? That's a pity....You do smell...different however." Looking around, Wolf did the normal thing and lied "If you come out with your hands up, no harm will come to you" He stood in the spotlight and walked around in circles, eyes ready looking for a sign of Insanity. A loud sound of a machine broke the silence, each falling from hooked chains around the spotlight.

A wounded Swat member stumbled out of the darkness, holding his side and groaning in pain. Rushing to his aid, Wolf said "Hey! Are you alright? Where is he?" The man looked up as Wolf neared, blood pouring from his mouth, eyes, nose, and ears. The man pulled out a magnum, fired three rounds point blank into the chest of Wolf, sending him backwards onto the ground. It hurt like hell, and he felt his chest plate to see if he was bleeding. Not even a scratch. Remembering the Swat member, he looked up as the man jumped onto Wolf, knife in hand. Trying to shield himself, he felt several stabs in the stomach. He gasped in pain, the officer dripped blood from his mouth onto Wolf's visor, as he stabbed. Closing his eyes, Wolf activated his wrist blade, and swung at the officer. It hit right under his chin, and the force sent the officer tumbling back. Once again, no puncture wounds, only pain. Looking towards the Swat member, the body slowly faded to darkness, the blood dissappeared on the visor, and a new boot entered the light. An orange armored man that looked the same as Wolf walked into the light, two energy blades at his wrist. Wolf groaned and said "Fuck this guy" He lifted his arm to fire, but a knee met his face. Rolling, he used his jet boots to propel himself towards the Orange Wolf. He extended his blades at the last moment, and stabbed Orange Wolf in the chest, as the two hit the ground, Wolf activated his wrist guns, sending a barrage of bullets into the chest of the Orange Wolf. It grabbed Wolf and flung him back into the light, and shot two chain knives at him as he flew towards the ground. Both pierced the ground right next to Wolf. Wolf activated his Frost Blasters and froze the knives in blast, and followed up with freezing the Orange Him. Activating his Rocky ammo, he fired into the frozen Wolf, blasting it apart. It busted into shadows, and finally Wolf heard the sound he didn't want to hear. A little girl was crying as she sat by a women face down. Both looked familiar, and Wolf aimed at the two and hesitated. He neared the girl, and realized who it was. His eight year old sister and his mother the night the officers came to kill his father (A mutant). His mother tried to stop them, which ended in her being killed aswell. He never saw his sister again, and she was forced into an orphanage. In the past, Wolf looked for his sister, but soon realized they changed her name. He put his hand on the girls shoulder, who stopped crying, and turned to look at Wolf. The face of the girl was grayed, and every hole on her face was orange, and dripping like water. The girl jumped on Wolf and he felt a sharp pain in his neck. His eyes closed and he felt his body tense up, a sharp pain in his heart, and once his eyes opened again he couldn't feel a thing. Instead of his sister though, Insanity stood over him with a black knife in hand. Swishing it back and forth, he looked down and reared back to finish Wolf off...

Wolf heard in his head two voices speak at once "Wolf, your vital systems are dropping" An orange laser blasted Insanity backwards, into the shadows. A spotlight shined brightly through the windows, and a hail of bullets flew over him, blasting all the containers in the area. Wolf saw Blade come into view, and wrap his tail around Wolf and drag him out of the Warehouse....





Insanity jumped through the back of the warehouse, as the heavy rounds destroyed the area. A smile was still on his face, though it never left after killing anything he could get his hands on. That mutant was strong, and most would've gave up halfway through.

Xypher shrugs her shoulders at Baker "What? That was an innocent question" looking around she frowns. "Speaking of which where is Nosalis? I havent seen him for a bit, hope he didnt get hurt out here" her voice was concerned.
 
Walls closing in... Need to get out!... Losing air... Edward began panting as e curled back into a ball. He felt trapped. The tiny shelter felt like it would suffocate Edward at any moment he let his guard down. It became unbearably hot so suddenly that sweat stained his T-Shirt. Edward mumbled to himself as the feeling of gloom and imprisonment latched onto him. The safe house felt just like his old prison cell in the Biotech basement. No light... only..dar... darkness... "AHHHHHHHH!" Edward felt numb as he ran to the ladder, mowing through anything in his way. HE scrambles up the ladder two rungs at a time. He leaps out of the shelter, landing on his stomach. Edward began wallowing in the scorched Earth, oblivious to how desolate it really was. Edward was still hyperventilating, but soon calmed down. He held himself while whispering, "I'm out I'm out.... never put me back in there.."
 
I look at him blankly, replying with, "You chose to go down there, I think." Pretty sure I didn't force him to go into an underground concrete box. He should get over his fears, they'll do naught but weaken him. Weak is a weird word. Weird is an odd word. Odd is an awesome word.

I begin walking away, just like that, making straight towards the trees. It's sad that I can't use my little safehouse, as I had many supplies there, but I have a house nearby. Houses are easy to buy when you can make 100-gram gold bars in a couple moments.
 
Ross had been paralyzed with the fear the entire down in the "safe house." Not because of the fight going on above but because of how many ghosts crowded the underground safe house. These ghosts weren't ordinary ghosts either, they were dead mutants. All of them whispered to each other and their voices filled Ross's head. She could hardly hear the explosions or process what was going on around her. It's safe down here, sweetheart. We won't be found here. The ghosts whispered, not knowing they were already dead. Is this what happened to mutants who died? Could they not comprehend their own death so instead they float around and find a safe house? The ghosts didn't seem to acknowledge Xypher, Baker, or any of the other alive mutants like herself. And they didn't seem to notice the explosions, almost like they were stuck in time.

The moment light cracked through and everyone got out of the safe house is when Ross snapped back into normal and she quickly got back to the surface and turned back into a human, not even looking back or questioning the destruction up on the surface. She couldn't bring herself to look back down at the safe house and Ross felt pale, even in her human form. Her head hurt from the voices and she felt sick to her stomach, would she end up just like them when she died?

Xypher frowned as Baker once again ignored her. Seeing Ross climb out of the safe house she noticed the girl was paler and looked in pain. She walks over to her kneeling down "Hey there you okay Ross? Did you get hurt down there?" Her voice was soft and concerned as she holds out her hand to help Ross up. Noticing Edwards reaction her lips twitch into a smile unable to stop giggling quietly at the overreaction, she found Edward to be pretty amusing.

Ross carefully took Xypher's hands and let her help her up. "I'm okay, I just..." Ross was paralyzed with fear, unsure of what to say or how to explain what had happened, instead Ross simply said, "Let's just not die." Ross gave out a small nervous laugh and tried to breath deeply. Her thoughts raced around and flashes of all the ghosts hit her. There were moms, dads, little kids, and teenagers. Some of the mutants looked human and some only looked partially human, covered in fur or slime. Some had wings that spanned almost the size of the safe house and some were part animal. Every mutant had something to say though, whether they were talking to themselves or a loved one in the room. Ross couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to be in that position and hoped when she died she would just be dead. She didn't want to wonder the earth and not even know she wasn't truly living.

Although Ross was a ghost she couldn't answer any questions about the after life, she didn't know what made you a ghost that wandered the world, a demon, or a ghost that moved on. And that's what scared her the most, if she was already part ghost would she just disappear when she died?

But she shook her head slightly, trying to erase the memories. She tried to focus on something else, anything else. Xypher's warm friendly face who she noticed the corners of her mouth twitching. Why was her face twitching? Ross examined the area only with her eyes and saw Edward, a stranger to Ross, holding himself. He looked like he had seen a ghost himself, what with the hyperventilating and all. Ross couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy.

Gently helping Ross up Xypher frowns concerned as she sees the fear in Ross's eyes and her odd words. "Hey hey its going to be okay, Ill protect you with my life okay? Dont worry about dying lets just focus on living for now, besides I cant die yet I havent had my daily dose of Icecream" Her voice was soothing and light trying to help Ross feel better and get her mind off of dark things. Gently ruffling the girls hair she smiles again reassuringly before walking over to Edward and offering her hand to help him up as well. "Its okay your out and free theres no walls around here. And big bad Baker isnt going to confine us again for now at least, now is he?". She turns her head slightly to look at the departing Baker knowing he could hear her, her voice was teasing.

I pause, bristling inside. Turning slowly, I glare at her for a moment before wiping my face blank again, and taking a deep breath. "I recall that I was never forcing any one of you down into my safe house. Obviously, it wasn't mine in the beginning because of ghost-girl's reaction. I killed a similar girl to secure the safehouse for me. She was paralyzed at the bottom of the ladder, screaming and yelling about how the ghosts wouldn't stop talking." I take another deep breath, slowing my breath and voice, and say calmly, "I did not ask or refuse anyone following me, but do not blame me for anything."
 
Rolling her eyes at Baker she conjures a tiny orb of water and shoots it at his head splashing him in the back of the head playfully, when he turns toward her she looks away whistling innocently. Xypher didnt want him bringing anymore bad images to Ross's mind.
 
Edward kept breathing heavily into his hands. His claustrophobia nearly reduced him to a madman once the shelter was locked. After he busted out, he slowly calmed down and began to breathe normally. His fists clenched the scorched earth tightly as coolness flooded him. Edward took Xypher's hand and pulled himself up. "It's not Baker's fault. Locked rooms or confined tight spaces can drive me... anxious.' A cheesy and self-mocking smile burst from Edward. "Guess when you're locked up long enou..." Edward paused and quickly added in a gentle tone, "Never mind. We need to focus on something more important. Like finding the BASTARD THAT BURNED SO MUCH OF MOTHER NATURE! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THAT..." Edward paused his venting and glanced at the pale girl watching him. Did I scare her that badly? "Sorry. I'm an Environmentalist."

I raise an eyebrow at the environmentalist. "Yes, well, you've already found him. However, if you'd rather suffocate and be killed by some mutant revolutionary just to save a small circle of land, then please, do so. But I'm not going to die on my watch, and anyone who stands in my way will find themselves dead, dying, or severely injured." I place my hands over each other, in front of me, continuing, "So if you wish to attack me, then do so now," with complete calm and confidence.

My soaked hair is annoying.

( Forgot to say in the other post, but this was a few days in the past, the Mayor of Miami was assassinated, but Dues rampage overshadowed it, same with the Police Massacre that Insanity did. It is now the same day that you guys and gals are at^^)
"God dammit Wolf! How the hell did you fucking miss the target he is a fucking shadow all you had to do was shine a fucking light on him and you win!" Smith was walking around, throwing pens, his suitcase, and a stapler at the wall past Wolf. Taking a seat he seemed a tad bit calmer and glared at Wolf angry. He sighed and caught his breath saying "Sorry that was a bit unprofessional of me, but my boss is on my tail because you failed. After you were evacuated out, he went on to a small town and turned them against each other and forced to the local news team to broadcast it live, but luckily we caught it and shut it down before word got to far out.....Only two little girls lived, sisters and mutants. My boss is making you go execute them at the Dock Square in Boston, consider it a warning." Getting up without a word, Wolf nodded and headed to the hanger area. Boston was his hometown, and his older cousin still lived their, so he might as well visit him once the contract was over. He packed his clothes in a duffel bag, and a folded piece of paper fell out that read "Possible Contracts For Elite Hunters" Quickly stashing it in his boot, he grabbed his dual pistols incase things got outta hand, and headed to Zero. Climbing in, Wolf sat silently on the flight, taking a quick nap as Zero and Blade chatted.

Once the group of three reached Dock Square, Zero hovered over the ground, letting Blade and Wolf climb out with minimum chance of harm. Walking to the platform that was set up, he shook hands with Captain Arbuck and said "Wolf reporting in for execution duty." The man nodded and said "We got the two girls locked up in a metal van, we will escort them to the center of the platform once word gets out around the city. We have orders to stress this execution to prove a point or something, maybe draw more mutants outta hiding or some shit." Nodding, Wolf sat down behind the platform as the crowd grew. Remembering the piece of paper in his boot he opened it up and read it.

(If you are not on the list, dont take offense. I just took some of the more deadly ones and put them into the list.)
The list continued on, but before he could read over the rest, a sound piece went off in his helmet "They are ready for you Wolf." Stashing the paper, he stood up quickly and grabbed his dual pistols. He failed to notice the paper fall out of his boot, and walked on.

He stood on the stage overlooking the crowd of people, two girls behind him hooded. Some of the people in the crowd yelled incouragement, others yelled curse words and told the police to go to hell. Turning, he took the black bags off the heads of the two mutants. He was shocked. The two girls were no older than twelve, each with tears in their eyes. He ignored the rest of the world and thought quietly in his head. "These girls are just like me, monsters. No, they arent like me, they are human and i'm the monster. The government are the monsters. They brought me here to kill these girls to prove a point, just so I can go kill more like me." The sound returning to his ears, he whispered to the girls, Zero, and Blade "We are getting these girls outta here, Blade watch my back. Zero start taking out those police groups so I dont get shot...again."

The girl to his right looked happy and the other slightly confused. Blade said somthing, and Zero added her opinion. He didnt here them over his gun fire. He fired at the two police men on either side of him, each falling down the stairs. He quickly activated his blades and cut the chains off their hands and feet. Helping the girls up, both were still scared and began running away from Wolf. Trying to stop them, he witnessed both of them turn into birds and fly away. "Shit!" Is all he could say as bullets and lasers exploded at his feet and at the tree's behind him. Jumping off the platform, he ran down an alley way but was forced to stop as four men with shotguns aimed pointblank at him. He heard Blade say "I advise you to close your eyes Wolf." He did, and he heard the familiar sound of a flashbang. He peeked to see Blade tearing into one man, another in the air held by Blades tail. The other two men had knives in their throats and heads. Patting Blade on the head once he was finished killing his foe, he heard and explosion and saw Zero hovering over the two, a ladder dangling over Wolf. Grabbing it, he climbed up and flew off, leaving Blade on the ground. "Blade, scout the area for a....Xypher Tasmania in the area. We gotta warn her about what could be coming. Once you find her, send me coordinates." Blade metallic sounding voice sounded out saying "Affirmative" Zero said question clearly in her voice "Back to HQ Wolf?" Laughing, Wolf felt free. Like a weight was lifted off his shoulders. "Of course not Zero, we are free! Free as a bird!"

(Minutes Later)

"Wolf, I found Ms. Tasmania...With Baker and some other minor mutants. They are in a burning park.....Attempting to approach." Wolf tried to order Blade to stop, but Blade shut his mic off and sent the coordinates. He stalked towards the group. His eye sight turned blue, and he felt the cloaking on his armor turn on. He was completely invisible now, he slide his body on the burnt grass and slide up infront of Xypher, between her and Baker and spoke as his cloaking shut off "Miss Tasmania, please back away from Mister Baker."

I growl as I feel another robot approach. Angry appearing plainly, annoyed and aggravated, I don't bother disabling it. I lift the metal thing up in the air, invisible or no, and sling it into the nearby trees, not even moving an inch.

"You leave! You all leave! I have been harassed from birth! Humans, I can deal with, they can be killed! Forever stopped! But you robots, from the very substance I control, against me! I am like God to humans, to such creations!" I stomp, fustrated, surprised by myself and my own show of emotion. I hadn't even realized it until it came out.

After helping Edward up and hearing Baker's none too friendly words Xypher sighs softly. Suddenly a giant robot feline looking thing appeared in front of her causing her to jump back startled, frowning at it its odd words. Before she can respond Baker throws the poor thing into some trees going off on a little rant. Xypher folds her arms across her chest glaring at Baker. "Hey now that wasnt very nice it wasnt even attacking, if it wanted to harm us why would it deactivate its cloaking?" Her voice is chastising but calm.

Xypher walks over to the robot tiger thing smiling friendly "Hello umm who or what are you? And how do you know my name? And why did you want me to separate from Baker?" It was a lot of questions but this was a very unexpected event. She looks over at Baker with a drawl look "You done with your temper tantrum Mr. God? You dont own this park if you dont want to be around us nobody is stopping you. But I dont bow down to anyone so dont even try that im all mighty bullshit" Her voice starts off calm but ends with a deadly tone.
