Razor: Rarities (8)

Standing In The Dark (Andrew)

I arrive to the warehouse. I stand wth Paul. I throw the spear I created, screaming as I do so. She went against me. They all did. How the hell did Peter get his power back? He lost that a month ago. I would know. My arms still covered in metal. Paul brought me to the meeting room. I grow a large blade and start to swing. I cut through the walls, leaving large gashes in walls around me. I stop, standing in the middle of the room, breathing heavily. I turn to Paul.

"Get Mark." I say. "And don't forget Clark." I say after the fact.

Mabey I can get her brother on my side. Paul leave the room. I look around. The room is in shreds. I walk out of it. Mark, followed by Clark, walk up to me. I walk with them back to the computers. They sit down next to each other.

"I need to know you two are loyal to our cause" I say. They look confused about why I am asking. "Peter, Dan, and Ricky are helping the masked man. They have betrayed us." I say. Clark looks at me confused. Mark looks angry.

"I am loyal. We need to end this endless fighting." Mark says. Clark looks at him shocked, no doubt confused why his sister went to the other side.

"Clark?" I ask. "Are you with me?" I ask. He looks to Mark. He grabs his hand. He lowers his head.

"Yes. I'm on your side." He says, not looking me in the eyes. I smile.

"Thank you for complying." I say.

I walk away from them. I start to walk to Paul. A burst of dark smoke emerges from the ground. Charles stands in front of me. He holds a gun in his hand, aimed for me.

"What are you!?" He screams.

I cover my body in metal, creating the shield. He shoots a couple shots. I walk forward and knock the weapon out of his hand. He fades into the shadows before I could grab him. I take the shield back in and hold out my gun. I leave my right arm covered in metal.

He appears behind me, skidding on the ground. He stops himself. Paul starts to walk forward. I stop him.

"Hold off. I got him." I tell him. I smile.

I create a large blade and throw it to his feet. I create another for me. He picks it up and laughs. I spin the blade and create another. He throws his blade and gun down.

"You aren't the only one who has evolved." He says.

He holds out his hands and lifts them rapidly. The shadows turn into a slolid state and shoot from the ground towards me. I roll away from it, dodging the possibly deadly attack. I throw a blade at him. He create a wall, keeping the blade from reaching it's forget destination. His forehead.

I take in the blades and he pulls the shadow spikes back into the ground. I place my hands on the ground. He holds his out. He shoots more at me. I shoot metal into the ground, then cause it to shoot from the ground at his spikes, making them clash. I get dizzy from the amount of metal leaving my body. I didn't know I had this much metal inside of me. I pull it back and let his attack fly past me. I make all the metal create large fist around my hands.

He shoots another round at me. I punch it. My eyes shift and the spikes shatter. I see my eyes in the reflection of the metal. My eyes are blood red. I smile. I walk through the rubble. He shoots more. I punch my way through the onslaught of shadowy spikes. I shatter the last ones with the back of my hand. I pull the large weapon back and grab Charles. I lift him up by his neck. He gasps for air. My eyes shift back. I change my other fist into a large blade.

"Anything you qould like to say before you die?" I ask. He laughs.

"No today asshole." He says.

He pulls out a flash grenade and drops it. He covers his eyes and the grenade goes off, creating a blinding flash. I wave my blade around, trying to hit Charles body. My eyes adjust and I see he has left. I throw down my blade. I could have ended him. Why did I let him get away? I should have shoved the blade into his stomach before he had the chance to do anything remotely close to that. I feel my eyes shift back. I walk to Clark. He looks fearful after what had just happened. I breath heavily from the fight.

"You were building Ricky a portable energy searcher, correct?" I ask him. He nods his head yes. "Let me see it." I ask. He pulls it out in many different pieces. I examine them. This is exactly what I need. I smile even larger.

"Its not finished." He says. I can see the fear in his eyes. He has every right to be afraid. I laugh.

"But this is perfect." I say. I start to turn.

"What will you do with it?" Clark asks, standing from the chair. I turn, my smile still on my face.

"End this war once and for all." I say. I walk away. If only he knew what I could do with this. He would have ran for his life.
