Iron Knight

Chapter 8: Blackout

AN: God I'm sorry I took 20 years to update again... NaNoWriMo is coming up again and I'm NOT doing Iron Knight this time around so expect even more delays yay! I'm sorry F

"Simon, have you been able to find Jones yet?" I asked the AI.

"I'm getting closer but for now I've seen to have located a partner of sorts." He answered.

"What? Why didn't you say so sooner?!" I exclaimed.

"You were in math class Knight." Simon said.

"I've been home for over an hour now Simon... Well, tell me about this person!" I said.

"The man's name is Carter Kane. At least that's what he's currently known as." Simon started. "He seems to be a bit of an enigma popping up every now an again under a completely new identity."

"Great so just as hard to find as Jones." I muttered.

"Interestingly his current identity has been in contact with someone around your age." He continued.

"Oh? who's that?" I asked.

"Unknown." Simon said.

"Great." I sighed. "So you have nothing?" I asked.

"I'll let you know the next time Kane appears." Simon told me.

"Yeah and text me at the least if I'm busy." I said.

~~~

A couple of days later Simon located Kane. "Right what's the quickest way there?" I asked.

"Well without a car taking the L train would be the fastest." Simon responded.

I quickly found my way to the subway and went the way Simon told me. "Simon this place is empty." I hissed with my suit now on.

"Kane hasn't left the premises." Simon said.

I huffed. "Yeah sure. This place looks deserted anyway." I said only to hear something moving in the distance. I took out my Nano Gun and followed. "Hands up." I said to the man in front of me.

He obliged. "About time Knight." He said.

"Carter Kane I assume." I said.

"That's right." He responded. "Jones said you'd be harder to deal with than this." Kane said and his eyes flashed.

I was about to say something back but I was frozen in place. "You know, the last person with that suit was also killed by me." He smirked.

"What did you do to me?" I asked.

"Oh, you know. I froze ya." Kane said. "Shame you won't remember this." He commented.

"Wha?" I started before everything went dark.

~~~Unknown POV~~~

"Kane! You remember what Jones said right?!" I exclaimed after I stumbled across Kane about to kill Knight.

"Relax kid. I only said I was gonna kill him for dramatic effect!" Kane said.

I huffed. If I didn't come to stop Kane this would've been completely different. "That's like the boy who cried wolf but as a killer, you know."

"Take a chill pill Murray you're always so uptight. Even more than me or Jones." Kane said.

Yeah well, maybe I don't like doing all this evil stuff. This Knight guy was lucky. Jones doesn't have anything to hold against him. Unlike me... "Whatever man." I grumbled.

"Anyway help me out Jones wants to talk to him remember." Kane said.

"Yeah, yeah." I said.

~~~Knight's POV~~~

I awoke to a massive headache. "Aw, fuck..." I groaned.

"Sorry Blackout had to well, Backout." Someone said.

I opened my eyes to see I was restrained and another person my age was reading a comic book. "Blackout?" I asked while fumbling with my restraints.

"Oh right, it also wipes your memory. It's been a while since I've seen him do this." He replied.

Great that just gives me more questions. "Oh and don't even try to get out of those restraints trust me." He added.

I sighed. I could tell this headache wasn't going away anytime soon and I could see my nanoband next to the other dude so Simon is going to be zero help. "Who are you then?" I asked.

He ignored me. What a jerk. There was a knock on the door. The dude stood up and opened it. "Finally Jones, I have a class to get to you know." He said.

Jones waved him off. "I've heard you've been looking for me kid."  Jones said while sitting in a chair in front of me.

"You could say that." I said.

"You know, If you had just looked the other way none of this would've happened." Jones said with a smirk on his face.

God, I hate that smirk. "Yeah I was totally going to look the other way when I find someone that I knew from my universe. Let alone the guy who made me kill my parents." I spat.

Jones laughed. "If I didn't make you do that you would've been too focused on 'getting back' to your dumb universe."

"Parents aren't just a nuisance you asshole." I said. "Did they even talk to terrorists?" I asked.

"Oh they did but lets just said they were in a similar situation as you." Jones replied. "Anyway answering your questions is a bore." Jones said while fake yawning. "Have fun sitting here some more." Jones said and left.

"Dick face..." I muttered after Jones left.

AN: Thanks for reading!!! That should be pretty much all of the main characters now!
