MOVING PIECES 3 [VI] (Ch. 97)

Dexter stared out his window from up high in his tower, the MERCHANTS HQ, the home holding in which he holds and dictates the trappings of power, a slight shift of the door, light footsteps, an impossibly large presence,

"Sir" his 'hulk' of a second protector called, "he's here, the spearman has landed", Dexter releases a breath, exhaling silently as he gives his command,

"Mobilise for war",

(It's time to check for the rats in my cupboards) he muses, (now now Darwin, which side will you choose?).

Jhon stares down the product of his creation, 

(Excellent my dare friend, you're almost ready), 

Darren's fist crashed against the re-enforced wall, it shattered to bis, Jhon nodded approvingly while surveying his creation, 

(He should be somewhat useful now, since Vin's away i have to hold the fort, he'll be the one to step in for me during the battle, cannon fodder or more) he mules as he gazes through his steam white lenses,

"Focus" Jhon states with a sing song voice, every strike of Darren seems to weez just centimetres past him, he grins as his seemingly light taps entrenches Darren in unfathomable pain, Darren empowers his Enforcer technique: Re Metabolisation: his body swells as it rapidly absorbes the nearby ambient 'Force', Darren blurs forward his body rapidly compressing and swelling at a visibly astonishing pace, every decrease in mass bringing greater speed and power,

"Oh?" Jhon mutters in delighted suprise, (He's figured out how to combine the Auxiliary technique with his Enforcer),

Darren's Auxiliary technique: Pilling: allowed for compression of 'Force' into segments of the body to allow for an explosive reaction upon empowerment, his blows and attempts to grapple Jhon increased in pace but despite his desperate efforts Jhon dodged every blow straight or hooked, every attempt to grapple by nonexistent lengths and in some cases seemed to know Darren's movements before he'd even made them, even when the latter spat to catch the swords man of guard the latter simply spun and ducked tapping his 'lightly' with the 'Force' surrounded pole in hand, the tap  flooring him as he lets a scream loose,

"You're ingenious in your use of underhanded tactics, but you telegraph your incoming attacks far to often, we'll do this till you can at least nip the ends of hair" Jhon mocks while twisting his short hair with his free hand, Darren gives a roar coupled with a burst of pace, he forms a guard when Jhon's incoming pole crashes into his arms, 

"Getting angry really won't help you against someone who can actually fight" Jhon sighs, "Again" he yawns sidestepping an incoming rock while swatting another away with his pole, he frowns dodging a heap of sand, Darren comes in with an uppercut, he misses with centimetres to spare, no Jhon dodged his nose sniffing Darren's arms as his face scrunches into a disgusted frown withing a split of a second, Darren swipes at him with his left Jhon meets it with a pole to his wrist, he bites down a shout as he slashes downward with his elbow Jhon leans away when a massive burst of 'Force' empowered pace blurs Darren's feet as he stomps Jhon's leg in place, 

"GOT YOU!" Darren roars cycling copious amounts of 'Force' into his left as he let's fly, Jhon's smiles approvingly as his pole strikes needle straight true, the metal pole bursts apart as the blow connects, Darren grins, heaving triumphantly as he peers expectantly through the raised dust and debris, the dust clears to what should be an expected sight for Darren, standing virtually unharmed is Jhon combing his fingers through his blue dyed hair, 

"I guess we'll count this as a pass" He states, "here" he calls throwing the latter a small old buttoned phone, "hold on to that carefully, i'll reach you with instructions when the time is ripe" he smiles before turning and walking away, Darren watching him notices something amiss, glancing to his right leg he sees a destroyed left of a shoe, then it dawns,

(I didn't get him, that bastard could've dodged!, He probably got bored again!!) He mules gritting his teeth, 

"Bastard!... i'll definitely lay my fist on you one day!" he snarls, Jhon who's now a couple hundred meters away saunters towards his car chuckles at the declaration, 

"Bastard?, I'll have to bring a stronger pole next time"

Kaiser donned in only tight boxers and white biking gloves stands akimbo as he grins manaically down toward's his newest toy Nathan Smith, behind him in a strapped baby carrier a small black haired toddler exclaims while sucking on a loli pop,

"C'mon now!" Kaiser booms, "No one likes a dead beat!"

Nathan struggles to his feet growling as his striker empower fingers claw at Kaisers member, a sharp kick flings him aside, Nathan raises himself despite the shattered bones in his body, Nathan despite being barely consious switches to his newly learnt Enforcer technique: Zombification, Force' empowers his muscle memory as well as heighten physical and mental faculties, he blurs towards Kaiser's left swerving enough to dodge his strike, his ankle twists inhumanly to allow him raise himself to above Kaisers left, Nathan showing instinctual talent shifts from his Enforcer technique to his striker, his clawed hand already three fifths the way to it's mark during the switch, it's mark? Kaisers eyes, Kaiser matches he strike with the might of his superior advancement and body blowing Nathan back, 

"Now now, Mr Smith, you can definitely do better, you wouldn't want me to take your little girl home now would you?" He grins menacingly, (C'mon kid, combine them!),

Nathan snarls igniting his Enforcer then seeking to empower his striker, the 'Force' clashes his body rattling like a prey in trembling cold, 

"C'mon...DO IT!!" Kaiser roars after a pause, his visage hardening, Nathan screams, trembling as the conflicting executions of 'Force' clash, he blurs forward, Kaiser stretches his hands wide with a smile,

(He's done it) he muses, Nathan's Enforcer technique allows him dodge Kaiser's fist on instinct, he lowers his body to bearly inches from the ground as a kick tears over head, Nathan blurs forward slashing his member, Kaiser bursts into a malevolent laughter as Nathan's strike does him no harm, 

"You couldn't harm me if i wanted you too kid" he grins as he knee's Nathan in the jaw, staring at the unconscious body beneath him he nods approvingly before turning towards Yerin, Nathan rises still, his Jaw snapping back in place, the tendrils of stubborn will empowering his subconscious,

"Oh?" Kaiser questions, 

(Just like Vin?) Kaiser questions in intrigue, (no...not quite, it's the Enforcer technique, he's just like that bastard) Kaiser grins laughing manaically as he recalls what had long become a distant memory, 

"I really only taught him on a whim!, I didn't think you'd learn this so soon!" He laughs as Nathan claws him in his left oblique, 

"It's amazing!'" Kaiser continues excitedly as Nathan finds air clawing at his eyes, Kaiser's arm blurs crashing Nathan's skull embedding it deep into the concrete flooring, Kaiser keeps watch smiling with exited expectancy for Nathan to rise again, several seconds then a minute passes with the latter's head still embedded in the ground,

"I guess i was too excited, he's simply not strong enough yet!",

(Dexter might've payed me to train him but I'll go one better, i'll make you my next PROJECT!!!) Kaiser beams with exited insanity as he drags Nathan away by his leg.
