talisman

their mouths were largely openers in an "O" form the guards them selves died without believing what they saw some members of the group even wiped their eyes to know whether they weren't dreaming they stood up and continued moving

gra and the group finally arrived in the corridor leading to the secret passage before them tables were placed outside and a lot of guards were behind blocking the entrance

gra did not attack and instead ordered the group to hide "how will we pass this look at all those guards " one said as he starting d panicking

"jones you protect the group I will be back soon " gra left the group for the armory the other members retorted "no we can't leave our lives in his hands " they said but gra had already left their noise attracted the attention of the guards and the started firing while moving forward

"shut up you idiots " Jones shouted angrily because of their bickering they attracted the attention of dozen of well equipped guards

Jones organised the defense reposting with their guns but after some seconds only five people were killed because of the number of guards but at least they could stop the advancement of the guards

bang.....bang...bang.....

bang.....bang.....bang.....

the two sides continued exchanging fire and five more people died out of all the original member 6 remained excluding gra , john and Cecil , Harley

when they though they were going to die gra appeared with a rocket launcher on his shoulder he moved forward recovered of a blue a blue faint aura all the enemy bullet where stopped by it

boom....boom.....

the rocket were launched on the enemy blasting all of the to pieces destroying the barrage they made with tables but even with that the number of enemy didn't reduce they were so outnumbered that he was forced to go back into hiding by throwing the rocket launcher on the ground making some back flip and rolling to the side going into hiding again he took a bullet on the stomach

he contacted john ".....it is impossible to use the secret passage it is blocked and we are completely outnumbered we can't afford to force our way "he communicated to john

john on his side stooped moving after hearing that he could listen to the intense fire from the radio he frown he didn't take that into consideration that if the secret passage was blocked which route were they going to use as escape just at that time Harley spoke "i once heard from guards that there is an helicopter on the top of the first floor the elevator is at the third floor I know were it is " john though about it and asked "we destroyed the electricity system how do you want to use it ? unless it doesn't use electricity " "it does but it uses another source it was for emergency I think " "okay "

john contacted gra "leave that place and let meet on ..." he gave the location of the elevator

gra on his side ordered the rest of the group "lets move we will leave this place through the elevator " then he threw five grenades he took in the armory to the guards to distract them while he ran away with the others.

the guards on the other side after the explosion went to look for them "they are not there " one said their leader came with Dr Vernon and the others "they should have gone to the elevator go and intercept them if I lost my cobais I will use all of you instead " Dr Vernon said angrily

the guards gathered and rushed to the elevator

meanwhile.....

john , Cecil and Harley regrouped with gra , Jones and the others making a total of ten survivors

they all rushed inside the elevator and when it was about to close the saw the guards running and aiming at them "bend " john shouted as he activated the ring of gia then

boom.....

the shield exploded upon contact with the shield stopping the elevator "why isn't it moving up anymore the elevator had stopped after climbing approximately give meters " gra asked "it is overloaded " it was evident from the state if the elevator that it was not only old but damage and couldn't take the weight of eight people

john jumped out of the elevator and rolled then it closed and continued climbing

"..... gra I will meet you all in the forest I hope you know how to pilot an helicopter I count on you to find me " he said as he rushed to another side

gra couldn't do anything except bringing the rest out "...okay when you are in the forest find a way to indicate it to me we won't leave without you " he said to john through the radio

john was running and decided to hide in a room filled with medicine he entered the aeration tunnel and moved with his elbows while laying some seconds after he entered five guards entered the room "he is not here let's check another room " they left after that

john moved in the aeration tunnel taking several turns he arrived at the end he went down and discovered that he was in an office it had many documents on it

john inspected the document but found that all it was about was the characteristics of some patient

john locked the door from inside then connected the hard disk he got from Dr Vernon office with the computer in the room

unfortunately the files were damage after all those explosion and he could only access an extremely small amount of data

he obtained the formulae of the serum he couldn't understand and some achieved money transaction from the name of black to Dr Vernon he didn't have to over think that it was the person who financed the operations here

also an image of three people only one was visible the other two were blurry it was the image of a young man having a collie with a round object in the middle on the neck that was all what was visible on the image he could had restore the image completely but the computer he was using didn't have that ability

after that he kept back the hard disk and went out of the office adjusted himself and went into hide effect of the [zed camouflage ] moving directly to the secret passage

there was only five guards there he moved closer .he took his twin dagger and held them in both hands while still under hide he ran to the first his twin dagger recovered themselves with a faint white aura [astral wave ] was activated and leapt to him using his twin dagger as scissors slash..... the guard held his neck . john placed his two hands on his shoulders and made a flip forward running in a zig zag manner avoiding the bullets of another one he slides under him passing in between his legs slash..... leaving a deep wound on both knees of the guard and stood up with a flip the guard to his left trust his dagger in his left hand to john who just had to lean backward avoiding the attack using the combination of [Evading ] & [fencing flora steps ] then gripped the guard forearm with his left hand and made a downward vertical cut on his interior elbow slash..... trust his dagger in his left rib then a vertical cut starting down on his armpit slash..... and concluded his combo by plunging his dagger on the guard neck killing him definitively then gave a hard kick on the guard on his left side neck resting him on the wall behind him as he fell unconscious he didn't have the time to react because his hands were in flames under the ignite of [inferno punch ] he could only watch his comrade get killed

john ran and jumped in the tunnel it was meandering and who was not very big he was sliding while going down he felt like he was in primary school

the tunnel was very long he could only allow himself to be dragged until the exit

he couldn't stop and rolled down the earth surface was very inclined from the horizontal direction after hurting himself against stones and trees he finally stopped under a level land in the forest

he stood up and dusted his body if it wasn't for the helmet his head would had transform to meat paste under the intense hitting with the rocks

the forest had very tall trees and even though it was night he could tell it was evergreen the tall trees acted as cover blocking the moon light the forest was very dark he has to activate his skill [the hunter ] to see he swept his gave round him and discovered that the ground wasn't that hard here saying two things either it had rained but it was less possible or a river wasn't far

he started moving forward looking for a possible river and he did found a river but it was a huge water fall he went near and crunched down to drink some water while drinking he heard a noise as him something or some one had moved on a tree branch

he stood up and raised his gun in the direction through then a beast jumped out of the forest in front of him holding an object in it mouth the beast was a blue cat with the body of a huge wolf it had fur only round his neck and it covered his back and went down till his tail who was deep blue the other part of his body was bare and dark blue in colour it white eyes

[fear you are within aquacat fear range wisdom verification.... wisdom F+ passed ]

then heard in his head "good you are the only person with the ability and faith to receive my talisman I am aquacat one of the four beast prepare your self young hero the battle for the to save the world regroup all the the other beast beware of the shadow riders "

john was taken aback what was the meaning of this that beast was speaking in his head while he was still in state of shock the beast disappeared and only the object she had in hand was left

john moved closed and took the object it was a talisman with many complicated pattern on it

[name : aquacat talisman ]

[type : talisman ]

[rarity : mystic ]

[effect : summon aquacat to battle with you ]

a summoner talisman he was so happy that he immediately tried to summon it back but in vain he was left dejected

[remark : aquacat refuse to appear ]

what was the meaning of that he refused to appear he was left speechless he could only place it round his neck for now

his priority was still to inform gra on which part of the forest he was and after that he will find more information about aquacat and those shadow rider

he removed his helmet , ranger boots , his bulletproof vest . it was not very pratic to climb on trees with that

he placed himself in between two tree that weren't far apart and jumped on one then on the other till he reached the top of one and stood up it was more than 10 meters high he could clearly see with his [the hunter ] skill to the north he saw a flying engine it was very far but he could still determine what it was

he didn't know which method to use to alert them he activated [inferno punch ] allowing his hand to be engulf with fire and raised it up like him he was sure that gra had a special method to clearly see in the night

then he saw the engine slowly approaching he knew they saw him but he had forgot that it wasn't only them that could see from afar he could here "this way " he jumped down a d bullet started bombarding him he didn't have the time to take anything and ran away with his bag , sword of chaos the bulletproof vest, the helmet , and the boots stayed there

he ran barefooted and without helmet nor bulletproof vest he knew he wasn't impermeable and could well be transform into sieve if he stayed there

he ran while jumping and avoiding obstacles by jumping up and sliding under the enemies were still behind him aiming none stop while chasing behind

from the skies gra just had to follow the noise of the bullet to know were john was rushing to having the advantage of height and speed he rushed forward but he had not anticipated that the enemy under had rocket launcher and was almost touched he could only rise more upward he used the torches the helicopter had to indicate and area to john it was the end of a gigantic hill

john under caught the signal and rushed to it but when he was some steps he saw that they was no more road it was empty it was the a dead end from the height he was sure if he jumped he would die but he decided to have faith in gra and rushed then leapt forward "i hope I didn't make the wrong choice " the guard behind him saw him jumped and stopped chasing it was impossible to survive that it was more than 50 meters in height

then they saw him rise again his hand was wrap around one of the bar of metal helicopters usually use to land "fuck you " he cursed at them as he raised his middle finger they could only see him leaving with directed expression
