Deception

Page 17

I see the police cars driving up to the street I'm on, and because I obviously can't ride off on a motorcycle, I create steel knight armor around my body, and I ride off. They keep trailing after me, so I stop the bike, and I flip over the cop car driving high speed behind me. It completely destroys the bike, and I throw multiple swords into the drivers, except for one. He pushes his foot into the pedal, and as the speed picks up, the bumper touches my knee, and I send enormous metal pipes into the vehicle, piercing through the metal and engine, but I leave the cop to bleed out in the crashed car. I create another dirt bike, and I rush off to the address, but there's no house, it's a playground. An old playground, with a red slide, a firemans pole, and some yellow monkey bars. A little recorder is sitting in the sand, and I play what's been recorded on it, and it's Kais voice.

" Saw much?" I say.

" Have you not learned anything, there are micro explosives on the sand, and the only way to survive, is to lure someone in to replace you. Good luck." He says.

The recording ends and I step out of the sand, and it explodes, blowing me to pieces, and I wake back up in hell.

" How did you even die!" Maze shouts.

" I had another life left." I say.

" These lives are precious!"

I stay silent, but she throws a punch, but I dodge it and push her arm to the right. She turns her hips and torso, using the momentum to fly through the air, sending her boot into my cheek. I kick her straight in the chest whilst she's still in midair, sending her shooting to the ground. A huge blast of flame burst from the space left between us, and Lucifer walks from my right to us.

" You are acting like children!" Lucifer yells

" He's wasting his lives!" She shouts.

" Why do you give a shit!" I retort.

" SILENCE!" Lucifer yells.

A wave of dust and smoke pushes past both of us.

" The punishment for you two is.."

" Punishment?" We both say.

" Yes, for being utter asshole, your lives are going to be connected, if you die, Maze dies, you die." He says whilst looking at me." And vice versa." He finishes.

He kicks me back to life and I'm thrown into a random person, just a random guy. I walk away without interacting with anyone and I track down the same playground without stepping in, and there is picture of a man in the blackened sand. I go to reach for it but the sand is too hot, steam rises from it continuously. I create giant, light, tweezers to grab it. I gently work the tweezers around the picture, and I lift it up, and use my powers to shrink the tweezers, making them shorter. It eventually gets close enough to me and I take it in my right hand, tossing the tweezers to the ground. I look closer, but I don't recognize him, he looks just like a middle aged guy with brown hair and hazel eyes.

" Who the fuck?" I question to myself.

I pay too much attention to the picture and a person looking at the phone accidentally bumps into me. I look over at them and it's the guy from the picture.

" Holy shit! How did he know that.."

" Sorry." He apologizes.

" Hold on." I say.

I stop him in his tracks, and I take out my compass and paper, and sure enough, he's one of my targets. His name is Dante Segoya.

" How the hell?" I whisper to myself.

" Please take your hand off of my shoulder?" He asks.

" Sorry man."

I stab him through heart, and he drops to the ground with a click. I check out his jacket for whatever made the click sound, and there's a transmitter in his coat pocket.

" Dead man's switch." I say.

An enormous crack and boom explodes in a building around the block from where I am. It's a skyscraper, and it comes down along with screams of fear and terror. I create a motorcycle and speed off to the building in less than thirty seconds. The dust acts as a fog, covering everything around it, a giant cloud of rubble and smoke. I make some glasses and a surgical mask, and I give a bunch of them to some people who survived so they don't get harmed afterward. I clap so hard that it clears out some of the smoke, and I see more survivors.

" Come on, come on." I guide them out.

That's when I realize how ridiculous I look in fucking knight armor and a dirt bike. I walk out of the smoke and shed the armor, and I replace my clothes in another building in a bathroom stall. Very classy. I replace my shirt with a nice polymer black exercise shirt with gray details going down my obliques. I make a fitted black leather jacket with diamond designs running down the arms, and armored gloves. I then made some basketball polymer black and gray pants along with some black and gold jordans. I make some carbon fiber holsters and I strap them to me legs, and I make some desert eagles with a gold paint job on them. I put them in the holsters and I make a harness that goes around my chest and back along with some leather knife holsters placed down below my armpits just low enough to not allow discomfort. I put two extremely sharp blades into them, and then I make little kunai blades strapped down my calves. I bust through the door, and as I walk out of the place, I boot the door off of its hinges, and begin to walk out.

" I'm, sir, you're gonna have to pay for that door." An indian guy says.

" Aw fuck."
