ALL NOVEL Chapter 47: Figure
"INTRUDER ALERT"
A voice came from every direction. It was loud and almost deafening. Buster's eyes opened wide as soon as he heard the voice. He stood up and looked towards Midnight, "We're the strongest ones here excluding Sir Fire so We'll have to get to the intruders as quickly as possible. The security here is very tight but we need to get to the intruders quickly. My fear is that it might be a top-class awakened…"
Midnight nodded and said, "I'm ready, Where are the intruders?"
Buster took out his phone and looked at a map on the screen. There were two dots that were sporadically moving. Buster gave midnight the phone and said, "You go to the intruder at the left, I'll go right. If they're powerless or have a lower base awakened powers, They'll be caught by the time we reach them but if not, It'll be another battle."
Midnight nodded and ran towards the dot to the left of the base while Buster ran towards the intruder to the right. Alex looked towards the two, speechless. "What just happened, Those two must have been working together for some time to react and formulate a plan together so quickly. I need to go and check out what's happening though. An Intruder…"
Alex said as he quickly ran behind Buster. He was curious about who the intruder was.
"He's really fast!" Alex exclaimed when he realized that he couldn't catch up to Buster no matter how fast he tried to run. "I need to get more powerful!" Alex said to himself, he realized that the buster wasn't only strong but also very agile.
Alex quickly ran on Buster's trail, after a brief moment of non-stop running, Alex finally caught up to Buster, who was standing in front of a figure in all black. A weird mask on his head, which looked like a small red demon face. It covered the figure's head so they had no idea who or what was behind the mask. The body was disguised in a black robe which made it difficult to see anything that could help them identify if the figure was a man or a woman.
All they could make out was that the figure was 5'7 feet tall. Buster looked back at Alex and smiled, "You just watch, I'll deal with this person."
Alex nodded to Buster's words and slowly walked backward. He looked around and was surprised to see many people in black armor, holding guns. But they didn't seem to side with the black figure, they were aiming the guns towards the figure. "I think they must be the Guards that Buster was talking about. But they haven't taken action yet… I think they're just waiting for Buster to do something…" He looked back towards the figure, waiting for something to happen.
After a brief moment of silence, The Figure looked up to the sky. A small pitched-down voice could be heard humming. It seemed like the figure seemed to be mumbling and humming to itself. Buster looked at the figure and slowly approached it. 'It seems like they don't know how powerful the intruder is so Buster is acting a bit cautiously.' Alex noticed.
The figure suddenly popped its hand out of the robe, seeming to hold something in its palms. Everyone braced for a potential grenade being thrown but the figure quickly seemed to stab itself with the object in its arms. Alex didn't have enough time to check what the item in the figure's hand but Buster seemed to see it clearly.
He quickly looked towards the guard and yelled, "Back away, It's someone trying out a mutant serum. Haven't seen this in some time, so someone called for sir Fire, we might need his help here."
The guards nodded and slowly backed away. They also called for some reinforcements. Even though they backed away, many guards still have their guns pointed towards the figure.
*Shoosh!*
A small knife flew towards Buster. Buster caught the knife mid-air and laughed. "Using a serum and yet this is all that you have? I guess we know the reason that the world powers stopped experimenting with these serums."
To Buster's response, the figure shook. "Hahaahaaa!" A deep and very modulated voice could be heard laughing. The figure then slowly walked towards Buster. Every step it took was followed up by a knife thrown towards Buster. But all the knives seemed to be too slow for it to strike buster, who just caught all the knives.
But a sudden face of shock filled Buster who quickly threw the Knives to the air. Only a split second later, the knives all exploded. "Using tricks?" buster smiled, He seemed to be enjoying himself.
The Figure laughed once more, "You don't need to proud of yourself for not blowing up your hands. We expected it to happen. But from now on, The things that I will do… Let's just say that you will regret trying to fight with me." The figure's pace increased, It was now sprinting towards buster.
Buster, who didn't seem to be intimidated by the figure also sprinted towards the figure. The two were about to clash.
*Boom!*
An explosion occurred where the two clashed. Alex looked at the spot, Which was covered in smoke and dust, making it impossible to see. "That didn't seem like a clash! The figure must have thrown a grenade just before Buster could attack it!" Alex wanted to run and help buster but he knew that he could not be of any help. Buster was a lot more powerful than him, he didn't need Alex's help.
"ARGHH!" Buster screamed in anger. As soon as Alex heard Buster, The ground started to rumble. Alex looked forward to seeing a figure rising up, above the smoke.
"You're smart, but with the help of the serum and the explosives, You're still not my match." Buster laughed as he looked towards the smoke. "You can hide as long as you want, but the smoke won't wait for you. It doesn't matter anyway. I'm done with playing games." Bust smashed the ground once more. This time, The ground that he elevated suddenly dropped. The area, now filled with more smoke and dust, making it increasingly difficult for anyone to see inside. However, from within the smoke, A small voice screamed, "Ah!" Alex could still hear that the scream was from pain.
