He said "What wil.."Before he could finish, we heard a loud bang. Hostile company entered with some of the protector staff who seemed to have fainted. At least I hope that they were only unconscious...Accompanying the crowd, as their leader, probably, was this bald man. His peculiarly coloured eyes were discomforting to a large extent. He had a knife in one hand and a gun in the other. He was about seven feet tall and built like a truck. His mouth, left eye and other body parts were covered so I couldn't make out much. He moved swiftly towards the chairs that girl and I were sitting on. He was about to grab her neck when I threw a flying kick. I knew that I had him but his lightning fast reflexes left me hanging upside down by my leg. He was holding a seventeen year old in one hand! He drew his knife, planning to force it into my stomach when the old man tackled him from behind and then told us to run. Well it took me 2 seconds to not listen to him and go to his aid. The girl ran away though. Cowardice or obedience?Anyways, I went to the old man who was about to be shot. So I kicked the gun off the weird individual's hand but surprisingly that didn't happen. Instead, owing to, possibly, his iron grip, his hand was deflected with the gun. That provided me time, enough to run off with my mentor. The man didn't follow but told his men to do so. He went in the direction of a room but that was all I saw before turning. We easily outran those guys and entered the dark room. Quickly the old man pulled the lever and we went up. Running outside, fast as we could, we saw the girl waiting for us. At least she didn't run off alone. "Move quickly and follow me" said the old man. "Where are we going" I asked "To our next base. It may already be destroyed but we have to gather weapons to fight against that man before the whole world knows about him. We can't go back now." We got to the street and hailed a cab. "Tell your mothers that you are sleeping over at your friend's houses and that you will be back tomorrow. Tell your friends to tell your moms that you two are outside and hope they will listen to you blindly. Don't mention your friend's name while talking". Well we did as he said but Clover and Kevin both had busy lines. The next time I tried, Kevin picked up but Clover's was still busy. He seemed very surprised but I convinced him to listen to me once without questions. That girl was now calling her mother.
We entered another building which was also abandoned, also probably rumored to be haunted. Same process of going into a room by the pulling of a lever. Sure enough, the base was in shambles. I thought we would grab some giant guns and set off right away but instead we got 2 sticks. Sticks. "Titanium sticks with a think central cylinder made of diamond" "Yeah thats my point. They are 'sticks'." I said. "Wait did you say diamond?" said the girl. "Yes. Yes I did" "Suddenly I don't mind the stick" She said. Anyways I wanted answers so I asked him "Who was that man anyways? And why did he attack all our bases and why did he attack all us before proceeding with his plan, whatever it is? Is the entirety of his plan destroying us?" With a brief pause, he answered "That man wanted to.........
