JAX
I woke up in my house. I got up out of bed slowly, yawned, and went into the kitchen.
"Morning" I said, talking to my chains. They lazily rattled in response. I opened a cupboard and took out a loaf of bread that was getting stale. I shrugged, took a slice and ate it. I'd need to get something else for food soon. Those bandit's supplies would keep me fed for a few more weeks but after that, I was screwed. When I had finished, I got dressed and opened the front door. I took a step outside, and immediately heard whistling sound getting louder. I ducked as three knives embedded themselves in my still open door. I saw an older man standing about 20 meters to my left, in the outskirts of the village. He looked like he was in his high 60s. Very skinny with a hunched over figure, about 5 foot 7 tall. He had a grotesque face curtained with spiky grey hair. What really stood out was his dead, all white eyes and had his tongue hanging out for some reason. I noticed that he had steel capped nails. Without warning, he swung his arm and three more daggers shot at me. I swear he wasn't holding anything though. I rolled out the way as the daggers pierced the ground I was once in. The man started swing his hands rapidly, wave upon wave of daggers flying at me apparently out of thin air. I turned and ran back into my house, the daggers thudding into my door, doorframe and past me into the next house down. The first daggers he threw at me had disappeared. Curious. I ran into the kitchen and grabbed my four wrist clamps where my chains were attached. I put my right wrist one on, then my left wrist. Suddenly the man was in my doorway. My chains surged towards him. Just before they made contact, he disappeared.
"Too slow" I heard behind me. How did he get behind me? I decreased my density just in time as he slashed me with his nails, his fingers passing through me "So this is why they call you The Ghost" he said, almost amused, then he disappeared again, appearing to my left. My chains whipped at him again, just as he went to move again, two more chains came up from the ground and wrapped around his legs. He grunted in frustration and closed his eyes as my chains slammed into his chest, sending him through my wall, leaving a hole.
"Good thinking" I said to my chains. So he was fast and could produce daggers. I could handle that. I put my other clamps on and ran out the hole. Suddenly he was in front of me, going for a stab. I increased my density and the dagger shattered. I grabbed his wrist, punched him in the stomach, threw him up in the air, used my right hand chains to wrap around him then slammed him back into the ground. My left leg chains surged straight into him, sending him flying. I couldn't let him touch the ground. If he did, he could use his speed again. I stretched out my right hand and my chains went for him, wrapping around his right arm. I swung him round off his feet, then let go. He smashed through a corner wall and landed hard on his side on the ground. Before he could react, I grabbed him with my right foot chains so he couldn't move. I walked up to him
"Who are you? Why are you here?" I asked him. Suddenly I felt a huge force slam into my side, then I was in the air. What? I turned in the air and landed on my feet facing whatever hit me. There stood a girl. She was about my age, 18 with long black hair. She was about 5 foot 4 with a very slender figure. She was beautiful other than the fact that she had the same dead white eyes as the man. My chains launched themselves at both the attackers. Then the ground just in front of them rose up, creating a rock wall. My chains slammed harmlessly against it. The wall crumbled and standing in between the girl and the old man was another figure. This guy looked like he was in his late 30s. He was about 2 meters tall with a very muscular body, short blonde hair. He too had dead white eyes.
"We are Yassan" they all said in unison. Yassan. Wasn't that an Elite Hunter?
"What are you?" I asked
"I was a person" they all replied "But then my body died. That's when I discovered my Enhancement: Hive. I can possess three people and am stuck with those three. While possessed, I can see through all their eyes and they are all in unison." And I thought my Enhancement was weird. I looked at what each of the three had displayed and thought
"You have one for speed, one for power and one for defence" I thought out loud
"You're a smart guy after all" They all said
"The speed one can also summon daggers, the defence one and manipulate earth and the power one-"
"Can create spheres of pure force, sending almost anything near it flying, yes" Yassan finished. Shit that was hard to fight against.
"Why are you here?" I asked
"Scouting mission" Yassan replied "The Chasers wanted to see if the rumours are true. The village that drove itself mad. The one survivor"
"Well it is. All of it." I said
"I see" Yassan replied, then all three of them turned and walked away.
"See you soon hopefully Ghost" he said, then the old man let out a high pitched laugh as they left town.
