Demons Run (2/2)

"Judgement has come for you. Only real humans can get a trial, you shall only know the embrace of the executioner."-Matt says to the gangsters.

They have finally noticed an extra member to their merry little band. Matt never stopped to get an accurate count of them, but there are 22 men surrounding the bodies of their victims.

"Who the hell are you punk? You want to end up like them?"-Gangster says while pointing to the bodies.

"And what the hell are you wearing? Halloween come early brat? Somebody shoot this motherfucker."-The presumed leader of these gangsters orders his men.

*Bang* *Pow*

Matt just stands there. The bullets were unable to do more than bruise his tough skin. He slowly walks towards the gangsters.

"Hey there's something weird about this guy. Somebody call some backu..."-A random gangster before his body is ripped apart by Matt's whips.

Matt's whips move so fast that the guy has no chance to scream before the whips have reaped his life. Matt pays no attention to the body at his feet as he keeps walking forward towards the gangsters. With every step he takes, another gangster hits the ground. Those who fall will never get up again. The fire in Matt's eyes burns brighter with each gangster that dies. One of the smarter gangsters finishes up a phone call for back up, explaining the situation to his reinforcements. This gangster then looks up from his phone and realizes that everything is silent. He slowly turns around, hoping to see his crew successful in taking down the 'Judgement' that has come for them. All he sees are the bodies of his crew lying in a river of their own blood. He slowly looks around for this 'Judgement' but before he can turn around, his view shifts and suddenly he can see his own body a few feet away from him. Then everything goes black for this unknown little gangster.

Matt picks up the phone and redials the last number called.

"Hey Joe, you all good over there? Sounded like you guys were fighting a ghost or something."-Gangster

"Judgement is coming. You can run, you can hide, I will punish you."-Matt says before crushing the phone to dust.

Throughout the night, screams can be heard throughout the city as local gang populations are severely reduced by a single individual. This one man came to be thought of as a rogue vigilante by the name of 'Judgement.' His name had spread like wildfire by the end of the night and anybody involved with the gangs quickly came to fear the name. Many gangsters did the same as the first crew he met and attempted to call for backup but by the end of the night they just said their final words to their families and mentioned that judgement was coming for them. It started with the gangsters laughing at 'some kid' attacking them but after a few hours they all ran at the sight of him. Not that it would save them of course. Very few could run fast enough to escape judgement.

Matt was originally planning to return home after his patrol but how was he to know that he would suddenly find himself on a manhunt. Can he still live with his Mom who knows nothing of such darkness and pretend to be a normal person? He isn't some comic book character who can live dual lives. Even he thinks he may have gone too far. Did all of them need to pay for the crimes of that first crew? Maybe there were many that died that were like them, but the amount he killed... He was now level 12 and he had lost count of the bodies after the first hour of slaughter. His clothing was drenched in blood, much of it had dried since it was nearly the time he had planned on returning. How did his world change so much over the course of a few hours? How did he lose control like that? Should he chance going home and hiding the night's events or should he come clean with his Mom?
