Shadow of A Thousand Suns

CH 4: Arrowhead

Calamba, Laguna

18:12

Blackshot reached the hideout where the Arrow Gang was hiding. The second step in his plan is to ask the leader of the Arrow Gang about where the son of this politician was hiding.

He was about to enter the hideout, which was an abandoned night club, when a few gangsters of Anak ng Calamba blocked him.

"Hey you, give us your money!" One of them says.

There were four of them but Blackshot can sense two of them behind him. Blackshot is fed up of using his deadly skills again and again but fate always force him to do bad things.

"¿Disculpa?" Blackshot asked.

"I said--" Before he could even speak, Blackshot has made him eat his knuckles.

The kid flew back and landed on his butt. He stood up and ran while crying.

"What an idiot." Blackshot says as he shook his head.

His companions started charging at him. Two of his guys attacked Blackshot. Blackshot simply ducked to avoid the attacks and faced the one on his left to deal with him first.

He let out a right punch at him. Then he let out an elbow strike at the enemy on his right.

He grabbed both kids in their collars and banged their heads at each other. The two, who were hiding all the time, showed up and attacked him. But he focused on the other kid who was still standing.

The one in front of him was going to attack him with his fist while the ones behind him were equipped with icepicks.

Blackshot sent a flying kick on the one in front of him, almost knocking him off. He grabbed him and threw his body at the enemies behind him, knocking both of them.

He watched them fell down on the ground really hard.

"By the way, Jeth says hi." Blackshot says as he entered the hideout.

Blackshot knew that the ones he just beaten up were Jeth and Lloyd's gangmates but he doesn't care. As long as you stand on Blackshot's way, you better pray hard that he don't kill you. Most people who stood their ground against him always says that. They were thankful, yet consider themselves unlucky since surviving Blackshot could be the luckiest thing that had happened in your life but you'll find yourself in hospital for months because of the damages being done to you.

Blackshot spied turned tables and broken bottles. The lights were out. Six guys who were members of the Arrow Gang were sitting in the far corner of the abandoned night club.

"Why are you here?" The one who looks like the leader asked.

"I wanna know where the son of this politician was hiding."

"What do you mean?" He asked as he stood up.

"I wanna know where the son of Congressman Morales was hiding. Do you know where he was?"

Suddenly, three people who were holding metal bars appeared from behind and guarded the door to prevent Blackshot from escaping.

"Why?" The leader asked as the three of them closed the windows, blocking off the light which shone through the glass window.

"You know why." Blackshot says as he sensed one of the guy behind him, going to smash his skull.

Blackshot sent a powerful kick, sending the guy through the glass and out of the night club. Two of the guys behind him decided to strike. The one on his left made the first move but Blackshot caught it with both of his hands. The one his right was going to help his friend only to be stopped by a kick from Blackshot's right foot.

Using the same leg, he launched a powerful knee strike on the enemy who was still trying to get his attack through Blackshot's hands.

His target bent down as he tried to nurse his stomach. Blackshot sent an elbow strike on his head, knocking him off. The one on his right, which he kicked earlier, stood up and attacked him but only to be stopped when Blackshot struck him with the metal bar which he snatched from the guy he pawned with his right knee.

Blackshot broke the metal bar into two and stared at his enemies. Most of them were equipped with knives but Blackshot didn't bother. Most of them would be dead anyway.

----

Jeth was dreaming about the niece of the CEO, saving her from the clutches of the bad guys. As soon as he saved her, Jeth started kissing her. But as soon as he lift his face off hers, Jem's face suddenly appeared from the niece of the CEO.

"Hi babe!!"

Then Jeth stood woke up from his sleep as he screamed really loud.

"What a bad frigging dream!!" He screamed as he looked at the window.

The sky was covered in dark blanket of the night sky. He made his way out of the van to urinate. He stood up in front of the building's wall and then started releasing liquid.

"That's great."

----

Six guys against one, to most, this was unfair, to Blackshot, this was also called unfair to the side of his enemies.

You don't just send six idiots against someone who has this secret power inside him. And what power was that? You'll find out in the following books of Windwalker Mercenary Series.

As the first and the second one made their move, Blackshot dodged their attacks and proceeded beating the both of them with his metal bars.

The third, fourth and the fifth one started approaching him. Blackshot ducked to avoid the first attack. He stood up and retaliates as he sent two strikes at the enemy's head followed by a knee strike. Another strike to the one on the center and three strikes on the to his right. One to the leg, one to the spine and one to the back of his head, knocking him off.

Blackshot threw the metal pipe on his left hand hand at his enemy on the center. Seeing that he was stunned, he sent a kick at his face, knocking him off.

"You don't just do that to Arrowhead!!" The leader asked.

"Arrowhead? What a crappy name, zealot!" Blackshot insulted.

Arrowhead charged at him, only to be stopped with an uppercut. He jumped up and then inserted the metal tube on Arrowhead's mouth. He punched his stomach afterwards.

Blackshot grabbed his head and started absorbing data. Seems like beating up a whole batch of gangsters doesn't just end here. He have to face the Alpha Gamma Epsilon to find out where the idiots were really hiding.

"Come on! Give me a frigging break!" Blackshot says as he let go of Arrowhead's head.

He stood up and left the the area.
