Chapter 13: Emergency!
Derek's eyes suddenly opened, they glowed with intense silver light, the air slightly chilled and everyone stared at Derek whose injuries were healing at an incredible speed.
His murderous aura enveloped the entire vicinity, some maids wobbled and fainted instantly as they couldn't withstand the pressure, Derek stood up leisurely, every action of his had an attractive magnetism, but it gave no beauty, this was the attraction of certain death.
The feeling of being a life punching bag was both humiliating and enraging, he stared at his torn clothes and his bruises which were slowly healing, the slight stinging pain which came from the rapidly contracting edges of his bruises fueled his anger.
Vera's face paled and she hurriedly distanced herself from Derek, no one had to tell her the situation had gotten dangerous, Derek touched his lips and stared at his index finger which had its tip coated with his blood.
Derek turned to the six men and his eyes gleamed with an ominous glow, it was time for payback.

At the base, the entire underground floor was blaring with red lights flashing, a thick oppressive aura enveloped the place, the pressure made the soldiers sluggish, some couldn't think straight.
Moments later, dozens of armed soldiers well equipped with dark camouflage combat uniform, T2 powered guns, combat helmets and NVGs firmly locked a little below their helmets, securing their eyes.
When they finally reached the last floor they saw two fainted scientists and two destroyed glass boxes.
A man in his early thirties with an immaculately trimmed anchor beard entered the room, he slowly paced around the room with his hawk-like eyes scanning the room, paying attention to even the tiniest details.
He turned to the soldiers "something was stolen, marked suspect; a teleporter, find her!"
"Umm... Her?" A soldier's brows arched as he bemused. The others chuckled, how could a woman be daring enough to steal from a military base, how absurd.
Smart chuckled softly "her escape will be placed on your negligence, now, how's that for a joke"
The soldier's smile froze, he raised his hands and gave a signal, instantly the others moved out, at the same time they informed the rest outside. In a matter of moments the entire base became a fortress, no one could come in nor go out.
Smart walked closer to the broken glass box, he knew about this room, however he was never told that an important resource or material was down here, he frowned while he deftly ran his fingers on the edges of the white table. His gaze fell upon an empty hexagonal depressed spot at the middle of the table.
'The hologram is also missing... Now why would such an experienced professional take a mere hologram, he muttered inwardly. He raised his hand and a square screen popped out of his watch, with the image of a young man, with a short haircut, gentle smile and delicate long fingers which he entwined together while sitting on a desk chair.
"I need a report on this floor, stat!".
He nodded and flashed a gentle smile "you will receive the message in a jiffy" he assured and disconnected.
•••
Inside a ten story luxurious hotel, a sexy Asian girl with long black hair, luscious lips which had great appeal, a lithe body and ample assets, in short she's a breathtaking beauty. She laid on the king sized bed and tapped her watch. A hologram of a man appeared "did you get it, what was there?". The black masked man rambled without stopping once he saw her.
"Two strange daggers, but they seemed identical to each other", she said with a soft voice which could melt a man's heart but the man she was speaking to knew who she was, although he had prepared himself, he still gulped when he saw her clothing which exposed some skin, not too much but it was enough to distract him, he coughed "how strange are these weapons?".
"They are spatial daggers". She replied while she stood up, poured wine into a glass and drank it slowly.
The man could see her back because she dropped the watch on the bed. Her long legs were perfect, smooth and white. From her transparent white shirt which she didn't button, he could see a tattoo of a black rose and was confused because the rose wasn't supposed to be red.
But he couldn't think further as her words echoed in his ears, he was stunned, spatial daggers that were identical, this was heavy news.
"Bring it to the usual place and please be quick", he bellowed and disconnected.
She walked to the glass walls and stared down at the busy roads, melancholy clouded her beautiful eyes as she mumbled,"five years".

The pavement blocks cracked as Derek launched towards the six men with clenched fists, before they could react he was already in front of them, BAM!, His fists collides with the face of the first one, he flew for a few meters before smashing to the ground with blood spilling from his mouth and nose.
The others rushed towards Derek, he squinted his eyes and leaped into air, he twisted his body and kicked the five of them simultaneously, they all slammed to the pavement, a slight dent was formed behind the remaining five men, the power behind Derek's attack was no joke.
Vera had already disappeared into the building but Derek didn't care. He rushed towards the men who had now stood up, they were alarmed at Derek's speed, although his fighting skills were amateurish, his speed and power made up for it.
It was time for a payback and Derek had made up his mind to end them, well not after he had broken them till they've lost the ability to scream. BAM!.
The second man flew into the air, he collided with a servant who tried to doge but wasn't fast enough, the two of them laid on the ground, they had both passed out.
The maids panicked and scattered, the other four stared at each other and gave eye signals, they rushed towards Derek from different directions, they planned to surround him and limit his movements, the third man jumped into the air, their plan was for the others to grip Derek's limbs and he would give the final punch, knocking Derek out.
Derek balanced his weight on his left leg and swung his right, hitting back the fourth and the fifth man of them.
The sixth man punched Derek's chest, a dull sound rang out but Derek didn't budge, he gripped the man's hand and twisted it, even the maids could hear cracking sounds as the man issued a gut wrenching shriek, his eyes bulged and sweat covered his face. Whereas Derek snickered and threw him up and he collided with the man mid air, BAM!.
Both of them flew back, smashing to the ground rolling apart, one was still screaming while the other was groaning. All these happened in a matter of seconds.
The fourth and fifth men stood up, one of them ran away while the other ran towards Derek, when he closed Derek, he suddenly pulled out a small military dagger from his boot and slashed at Derek, Derek flipped backwards, with the same momentum, he twisted his waist and launched a kick at the man's face.
BAM!!
He flew back and fell into the flower garden, the groaning man had sneaked up on Derek when he was fighting the other one. He launched a punch and Derek dogged it, he launched another and Derek also dogged it, he kept throwing punches with a fast speed, some maids and servants felt dizzy as they couldn't follow the man's speed, it was a blur to them, BAM!.
He finally hit Derek right at his nose, Derek's pupils dilated, veins popped on his neck, he dissolved the man's incoming punch and grabbed his neck, his grip was so tight that the man began to suffocate instantly, he tried to hit Derek so he would release him but his efforts were futile.
Bluish green Veins bulged on Derek's arms as he lifted a man, a few inches taller than him into the air, his grip was also getting stronger, the man's face was fully red with veins appearing on the sides of his head connecting to his eye sockets. Suddenly the man who ran away reappeared, this time with a long metal staff, he ran towards Derek and swung it at his head, the swooshing sounds were alarming.
Derek left the man he was suffocating and threw a punch at the incoming staff, it wasn't a small staff as it was three fingers wide and almost 2 meters long, the man laughed inwardly, this boy was a total fool, although his strength was intimidating, his experience was too poor, he would love to see how Derek's arms hangs loosely and his face filled with agonizing pain.
BAM!!
Derek's fists collided with the rod and both sides retreated, Derek's knuckles were bleeding but aside from that, nothing else happened, the pavement shattered as Derek stomped on it.
He bolted towards the man. However the man reacted quickly, he swung the staff again, this time Derek gripped it firmly with his fingers digging deep into the metal, his other hand left an afterimage and gripped the man's neck, it was a sure kill and Derek smirked.
Suddenly he blinked his eyes and touched his neck. He felt something there, he staggered, his vision turned blurry and he fell to the ground before his vision turned black he muttered inwardly,"I hate this".
If he had his dagger, it would have been a different ending but alas he could only wish.
