Beyond the Shadows

Chapter 12: Dear Mr. President

Unaware to the absence of his body-guards, the President kept walking toward the exit of the concrete tunnel. Noticing the fallen body guards, he turned around dumbfounded. "Hello Haojo".  I heard my moms voice appear as she walked up behind me followed by my father.  He turned around bewildered. "Sarah. I should have known."  He said eerily.  My mother smiled and said "I forgot to finish what I started that day. Lucky for you I got busted." She said with a small smirk on her face as she drew her katana. No more mistakes. You will atone for your sins you mutt. After your kind killed my parents, aunt, and only brother," She said shedding a single tear "you won't live to see another day. You don't deserve it." She swung at his head and he blocked with a small dagger he drew form his pocket. I went in for a sweep but my dad drew me back up. "This is your mothers fight".  He said. I nodded and observed as the two batteled off with swings to the head, kicks, punches, and certain blasts of energy. Then Haojo kicked out my moms knee and went in for the kill by stabbing at her head. she swiftly moved but was still in a prone postiionon the ground. He mustered up a strong blast and threw it at my mother. Just then M jumped from the rafters and counter blocked the blast. M had also had his parents assassinated at only 3 years of age. I saw the fury in M's eyes and watched as he protected my mother and punched Haojo across the face with such rage. Haojo was on the ground and M stepped back. He helped up my mother and as he turned back around Haojo was up and stabbed M in the stomach. "Michael!" My mom yelled. He fell to the ground. Surrounded in a pool of his own blood. I had'nt known M for long but he was a very nice guy. He did whatever to protect my mother and father, and I was later informed that he was my sworn protector as well. My mom fell to her knees beside her fallen friend. She hugged him as he whispered three last words I could not here but i heard the faint japanese words. She stood up. Her eyes whited out by rage. Fire surrounded her. She reached for Haojo and slammed him through a wall. She floated over two him. She drew her Katana and outstretched, she slammed it into the concrete beneath Haojo's head. He had dissapeared. She threw fire by fire into the tunnel. Destroying the whole chamber. "WHERE ARE YOU HAOJO!" She yelled in a enraged voice. She let loose a huge wall of flame and embers and fell to the ground.
