Anti Hero: Hunter

Chapter Four: The Imposter and The Unmasked

Minutes later after his departure from his hideout, Allen was on the main roads of the city, swerving in and out of traffic on his motorcycle. As he drove on, three police helicopters would fly over his head, followed by eight to ten police cars screeching around a corner, chasing down someone on the same exact motorcycle as his. He then notice it's driver was wearing the same outfit as him, the imposter who killed his brother. Fueled by anger at the sight of him, he increased his speed catching up to the police cars. He could see the imposter straight in his sight's, but then the imposter looked back at him, and pressed a button on his motorcycle releasing tire spikes, sending some of the leading police cars veering off the road or crashing into each other. Not having enough time to try and come to a stop, Allen stood himself up on his motorcycles seat, then using it's momentum to jump over the crashing police cars, pulling out a hook and chain, and throwing it straight at the imposter's motorcycle hooking onto it's back. He then landed hard on the road getting dragged by motorcycle, slowly pulling himself towards it. As the imposter noticed him, he started swerving side to side to try and get him lose but with no success as Allen finally pulled himself onto the bike, and pulled him off with him, both of them rolling onto the street as the bike fell to it's side, sliding across the street into a crowd. Both are now in the public eye, civilians wondering who is the real Avenger and who's the faker causing the same amount of trouble.

" WHO ARE YOU! AND HOW DARE YOU KILL HAYTHEM VANE!"

The imposter gave a small chuckle before taunting him. "Wouldn't you like to know.", his voice sound familiar. Deep, cold, and about the same age range as Allen. But who was this imposter?

"I'LL KILL YOU!!!!", now blinded by rage, Allen went straight at him with fast movements and hard punches. But what he didn't expect was that the imposter was blocking all his attacks. Then there roles switch, Allen was now on the defense as he started getting assaulted by the imposter. His movements and figting style spot on the same as his. It was like fighting a living, breathing mirror image. But even with all the many attacks he had to block, he kept watching closely, waiting for an opening. Then it happen, he brought his arm to far back, then Allen took the chance reaching out at the imposters mask and hood, ripping them off with a powerful pull of the arm. His opponent revealed to him and the public. Under the mask was a man with a bold head, a growing black beared, and a long scar running down his face.

"....YOU! Drake you scum! WHO HIRED YOU! WHO WOULD EVEN HIRE A CRAZED MERCENARY LIKE YOU!"

"Hahahah, your old enemy of course. What was his name again? That's right! Dr.Black!"

"Black!? But he's dead!....wait....my...old enemy....how do you know it's me..."

"Because you just told me! Dr.Black was right, it is you! Allen Vane~!"

All the civilians who were gathered around to see the two ended up overhearing what Drake said. The crowd in shock and in an uproar over how Allen is out of prison, how some thought he was away from the city, and many upset and angered that he is The Avenger. The one who's been killing there beloved hero's. All Allen could think of right now was they know his secret now, and with that he thought of something quickly, then took out a flash bang, throwing it in the air as it went off using the chance to escape as the crowd was blinded. As they all were able to see again, Drake was alone in the middle as the police rushed in and quickly arrested him, a smile on his face.

Later that day as the skies were clouded, and the rain pouring on the city. Allen would be standing on the top of a building, looking at the police station. Inside was his daughter Sasha, with no family to take care of her. Now that everyone knows about his secret, he no longer needs his mask. But what will Sasha think of her father now? She probably now knows he's The Avenger, the masked man who's been killing hero's left and right. But, other than thinking about this, the thought going back to when he over heard Gravis speaking to someone pops up. The files he took from his brother's workplace are still in his phone, and he ended up finding out the man Gravis spoke to is in the police station. He has three options, option one is to get his daughter, option two is to find the man in the police station, and option three....well...that's do both. For Allen it was obvious, option three was his choice. He pulled out a grappling hook, shooting it across from the building to the station. He tied it down, then saw two cops walk out of the station in front of the doors. Go now and they'll see him, so he goes ahead anyway and takes down both cops by kicking them both in the face and making there heads hit the wall. Flipping onto his feet, he pulled out an assault rifle P90, customized to shoot electrical shocking bullets. No need to kill cops, they've done nothing to him...yet maybe. He kicked the door's open, opening fire on every cop inside that he saw, more rushing all over the place for cover or for there weapons. But Allen had the upper hand as he was able to knock out any officer in there cover by flipping over tables and counters. It only took about five minutes to take them all down before Allen made his way to a locked door at the very end of the building. On the other side was Sasha, probably in shock and disappointed in what her father has become. When he kicked the door open, it was the opposite. Sasha came running out into him, hugging him tightly.

"S-Sasha!?"

"I understand why your like this...I don't hate you for what you've become....they made you like this...and your doing this for our family..."

"...I was afraid that you would hate me....but I'm happy to hear you don't.."

"Just....please....don't kill anymore hero's....for me...just the ones who did this to our family."

"....fine....I'll try...now get out of here. I have a secret hideout on the outskirts of the city in a small abandoned building....stay in the shadows."

"Alright...be carful!", she ran out not looking back knowing her father could handle himself. Then Allen made his way to another room, opening the door as he saw an old man sitting in a chair with a lit cigar in his mouth.

"Bout time you found me..."Avenger"...or should I say....Allen Vane..."

"Who are you..."

"The man keeping this city under control! If it wasn't for me this city would be in Anarchy!"

"You still didn't answer my question...who are you....or i'll go ahead and put a bullet in your head!"

"....Victor Borne...and instead of killing me, I could help you. I know of your history, I know of what happen to you and your family."

"What! Tell me what you know! I want to find those men who brought my downfall and made me....like this!!"

"In time Allen...but I rather wait till the uproar about you quiets down. I think you should REALLY leave the city. Take a year or so away, then come back and I'll help you."

"...Why should I trust you...."

"Because...your not the only one in this city who's lost someone to those men your seeking...."

".....Alright....I'll go....but when I do come back....you better have kept your word...because if you didn't!", Allen would slam a knife into the desk, almost stabbing Victor's hand. "I will hunt you down....gut you!!"

"...So be it, cigar?",he held up a brand new cigar up to Allen, offering it.

"...I don't smoke..."

Allen left the station with nothing else said, later as night came, meeting his daughter his hideout. They had a few moments of father and daughter time before Allen took up Victor's advice, packing there bags, and leaving the city under the cover of the night. Back at the police station, Victor would be on the phone with someone.

"Yeah I told him to leave. He's falling right into your plan....you know....I still wonder...", a small smirk came across Victor's face. "How could you betray your own husband?"
