Time traveler: The stitch

Part five: Slipping through fingers

Walker moved his head to the side, the black shaft of the electric stick missing him, the traveler leapt forward and grabbed the agent by the back of his shirt, spinning him around and blocking an electric staff with his body. The agent fell to the ground convulsing, two more agents went for him and Walker ducked the two sticks and rolling backwards as a third came down the middle.

He brought his hand up and caught the end of one of the shafts, just past the blue electricity at the end, the traveler pushed forward and slammed his knee into the agents midsection. The agent released his grip and clutched his groin, Walker swung the stick over his head and knocked another of the staffs out of the way before slamming the end of his into the agents leg. His hand snatched that agents staff and spun it around, throwing it like a hatchet at another agent.

More to luck than anything else the electric end slammed into the agents forehead and the man fell to the ground. Another agent came behind him and Walker moved to the side, bring his free hand to the man's throat and jabbing the windpipe, the man dropped his staff onto the ground. Walker caught it with his foot and threw it up to his hand, catching it and swung the stick around, smacking another agent in the jaw with the middle of the stick.

That agent stumbled but came back to his feet only to have the black staff slam just below his waist. Walkers eyes went wide and he grimaced as the man fell to the ground clutching his private. “Oh…Oh...I...I’m so so sorry.” He said as the man groaned on the ground. Some of the other agents stared down at the man and few of them shuddered. There was only six of the agents left standing and Tyler, who stood calmly with his hand clutching one of the electro sticks.

The six agents and Tyler recovered their composure and rushed forward at once. Walker caught his breath and part of his mind broke from his body and caught the worldwide timeline, time slowed down to a crawl and Walker saw the world in slow motion but his body didn’t slow. He spun his staffs around and threw one like a spear, he spun and threw the other.

Time sped up again and the two staffs landed home in the chests of two agents, Walker grinded his mind against time and it slowed again. He dashed forward, grabbed the midsection of another electric staff and swung his fist into the jaw of the agent holding it. Time snapped away again, the two agents struck before fell to the ground twitching, the agent that had just been punched released his staff and tumbled to the side.

Walker slammed on time a third time and it bended to his will, using the staff he had he slammed the electric end into the stomach of the forth agent, releasing it and then letting time go again. Walker gasped and blood spattered from his mouth. He wiped it and panted, the three remaining men stopped and looked at him, their companions laid on the ground. Either passed out or semi conscience, the three men eyed him like he was a monster, and to them he was.

“You’re an ungodly creation.” Tyler said as he spun his staff around, for the first time that day Walker saw the pale white eyes that stared at him from those eyes.

Walker gave as cocky a smile as he could, “Oh I get it.” He said between pants, “Getting your ass kicked so you...have to resort to name calling.”

“A little out of breath traveler?”

Walker gestured to the half concience men laying on the ground around them, “A little out of agents Tyler?”

Tyler smiled, “Please call me, Agent blue.” He grinned, “Tylers just a pen name.” The two agents moved around me as me and him spoke, vans at the end of the alleys pulled up and more suits stepped out, carrying electro sticks.

Walker looked around and counted the agents, six from each van strode out. Oh come on! “What kind of game are you playing?” His eyes darted around, looking to the men, to the van behind him and finally rising to the buildings above him. The agents picked their ambush well, leaving out any means of escape for him. Except… Walker looked over his shoulder at the van, noticing the yard long gap between it and the chain link fence behind it. I could make that jump… The agents stopped at the entry to the intersection and stared at the mass of unconscious men.
