"Sir we have the targets in sight but they seem ready to move." the report came in from the UAEC men who had gone to arrest Munashe.
The captain stared at the holographic pictures of Munashe and Ruvarashe. His hands shaking like a cable in a hailstorm. He didn't know if it was a good idea to kill off the men who could stop the next anomaly attack but he had already told the UAG that he had them in custody.
Whilst the captain was lost in his own mind someone opened the door to the observation room and killed off the men who were guarding the captain.
With his mind made up he wanted to stop the procedure when he was suddenly lifted by his neck and thrown halfway through the room. The captain crushed on a desk taking everything on it with him. He felt his body creaking as he tried to erect himself but failed. The smaller of the two men picked up the phone and spoke into it, "All targets are to be eliminated now. Move in!"
The captain wanted to shout but the pain cursing through his body hindered his efforts which only resulted in a faint scream.
"Forgive the intrusion captain but the UAEC shouldn't meddle in affairs they don't understand." the smaller man spoke out and approached the floor ridden captain. He withdrew a small spear which made mechanical sounds as it increased in length.
"You are a council member." the captain squealed which resulted in the smile from the small man. His black suit made him look like a top executive at a company compared to the brute that stood behind him.
"What do you want?" The captain asked groaning in pain.
"I want to eliminate loose ends. Very loose ends."
"Munashe and his crew."
"It's weird ain't it. I have seen the world transform from using brick phones to holographic ones but I never felt satisfied. I guess the longer you live the more you realise that a life without goals is pointless."
"And what is your goal?"
"To rule the richest countries in the world and create a whole new profession. Hunters."
"Well that's. ...." the small man didn't let the captain finish and forced his spear through the captains chest.
"Such a pity. I wonder if today was truly his last day."
As the spear was withdrawn from his chest the captain grabbed his gun from the holster and shot the small man. The bullet was stuck in the fabric of the suit that had turned out to be snake scales.
"You have to admit the Nyami Nyami is a strong serpent. Completely stopped the bullet and I didn't feel anything."
Mellisa was admiring how Panashe was finalising his drone by adding some softwares into the drone as they waited for the transport. Another member of the digital witches came running from the street screaming something but his mask muffled his words.
Behind the screaming witch UAEC members appeared with their guns drawn and pointed towards the diner. The first shot was fired by the big man Panashe had fought before and it missed but everyone got the message.
"Back into the dinner and head for the roof!" Munashe ordered as he dragged Ruvarashe into the diner. The barrage of bullets destroyed the windows and the small banner that was the face of Ruvarashe's dinner. Everyone hurried who had managed it to the roof waited for Munashe's command.
"Roof culture people." Tanyaradzwa said as she pointed towards the old industrial area. Tapiwa who kept checking the stairs eventually banged the door shut.
"We need to go they are coming!" Tapiwa screamed as he headed in the pointed direction and being the first one to jump from on building to the other. Everyone else followed but that didn't stop the highly trained UAEC soldiers who were following behind doing Parkour as if they invented it.
The big man was ahead of his companions and gaining on Mellisa who was behind everyone because of her injuries. Panashe wasn't focused on the run as he tried to get his drone flying. The drone eventually finished installing the guiding software and Panashe dropped in an alley way as he jumped from one building to the rest. The dopamine that rushed in his head made him scream with joy until he saw Munashe pointing behind him.
Adrenaline rushed through his body when he the giant man catching up on Mellisa. He grabbed his gear that he was carrying on his back and hooked it with VCB and wanted to test what the blueprints indicated what the gear could do. He started running towards the big man and swung his arm forward and the mech limb hooked to the VCB by optical cables propelled forward forming a fist. The giant was focused on Mellisa that it didn't see the fist until it was too late.
Mellisa felt relieved as she heard a cracking sound from behind her. The fist hand punched the mask and dented it cracking the coating material.
The other members of the UAEC opened fire but the mechanic limb which was retracting back to Panashe extended two blades from the wrist compartment which spun faster and ricocheted the bullets elsewhere.
"Thanks Panashe!" Mellisa shouted as she joined Panashe and they continued running. The UAEC were catching up on them when a table caught one of their members midair from one roof to the other sending him down towards his doom. They reached one of the famous rooftop bars where everyone was thinking of a way to avoid the UAEC. The UAEC soldiers were trying to locate their targets but there were just too many people on the roof.
"Can you make it to the other side?!" Panashe asked Mellisa who just nodded. "Then go. I will cover you!" Panashe screamed trying to compensate for the loud music as he reviewed an explosive disk which he threw towards the roof which housed the UAEC. The explosion was large enough to cause panic but all his allies used it as a chance to press forward and continued with their free run and Parkour.
The civilians who saw the chase from their windows and from the streets could only marvel at the skills being manipulated. Some were horrified as bodies of UAEC men crashed through air conditioners and other contraptions that were hanging from their windows.
"Will they be okay?" Xolani asked as he launched a crate towards the UAEC trying to aid those that were behind.
"They are UAEC man. Their armours can handle the fall." Tapiwa answered while laughing. In his hand a hammer was suffocating and being electrocuted.
"What's the hammer for?" Xolani asked as he searched for the next object to be thrown.
"From now on call me Sango!" Tapiwa shouted and launched the hammer that was producing electric sparks towards a UAEC soldier who dodged the hammer but it crushed into his companion's torso sending him off the ledge down to the streets of Mbare.
Only a few members of the UAEC were left and they gave up the chase. When they realised they had lost over half of their force.
"Captain come in. Captain come in."one of them wanted to report their failure but the radio silence from the other side made him suspicious.
"Listen to me. This is the city council speaking please stop killing those people. You captain is badly injured. You job is to cancel the UAG's visit to Mbare." a reply eventually came from the other side and the UAEC retreated.
Several drones were in the air following the digital witches and Tapiwa couldn't stop posing. "We are going to be famous." Tapiwa said passively as everyone was trying to catch their breathes. "This is what happens when you all depend on technology too much. Be like me."
"How is your body?" Panashe asked Mellisa who was by the edge of the roof.
"You care too much." Mellisa replied as she patted Panashe on the chest.
The digital witches airship finally arrived and picked everyone up before heading for Willovale warehouse. One of the passengers who was in the airship approached Mellisa and examined her before taking of his mask.
"Hey Melli." Allen seemed happy to see her but she wasn't. She looked at Panashe whose eyes were focused on his VCB as he tried so hard to calibrate his drone's software.
"Hey look at me please." Allen was trying to get her to focus on him when they heard Tapiwa curse by the window.
A behemoth airship was going the same direction with them.
"That's very bad isn't it?" Xolani asked and Tanyaradzwa produced a few screens in the air from her phone.
"The army reported that seven tanks were stolen alongside several nukes and a dozen helicopters. Including their behemoth airship which was carrying thousands of guns and ammunition. The people who robbed the army are all people who had been kidnapped including an ugly creature that had mind controlling powers. Pilot get us on top of that behemoth and later proceed to Willovale. One team with me the other with Munashe." Tanyaradzwa let the passengers choose their teams as the airship approached the behemoth.
Ruvarashe and Tanyaradzwa were leading team one which was also chosen by Panashe and Tapiwa. Mellisa was trying to avoid extreme jobs but ended up deciding to be with Panashe. The first team was dropped on top of the behemoth and they saw their airship trying to outrun the behemoth.
Nhamo saw the behemoth from afar and he stood by the lever waiting for it to get closer until one of his men cried out about an unknown airship before confirming it belonged to the witches. Nhamo couldn't contain his anger and started cursing about as he headed for the roof. He approached one of his goons and ordered him to go into the control room as he waited for his enemies. Munashe and Xolani smiled at each other as the airship spun in the air giving them a chance to leap onto the roof where they came face to face with their foes.
Nhamo screamed as he charged towards Munashe and his goons followed. The two sides were equally sized. Allen avoided having to face Nhamo who was dominating in his fight against Munashe.
