CHAPTER 64 - Mutant Tisane V

"H-how is this possible?" The third man on the left stared at the screen in complete shock as his body vibrated.

"So these are mutants" the first woman on the right said with a mysterious glint in her eyes; "Very interesting"

"They fight like ghosts" the first man on left said as his wide eyes continued to stare at the screen.

"Still this doesn't show that they can exhibit magical powers" the first man on the right tried to be rational as he stared at the screen and made his claim.

"Yeah I concur" the second man on the left replied; "No matter how amazing their fighting prowess is, it won't matter against missiles and rapid gunfire"

"But still, it's quite incredible that our intruder guy can hold his own against those three" the second woman on the right said.

"With what I have just seen these kids display, I would say that these mutants are a catalyst to a whole new system of combat" the second man on the right said.

While they all discussed the unfolding battle in the screen, Mr Fadeyemi was about to explode in shock as his hands gripped the armrests of his chair so tight that his knuckles made cracking noises. He watched as Tisane skillfully disposed of Sabrina, Jerry and Melissa.

Those were three mutants!

Mr Fadeyemi had been completely aware of the existence of mutants a long time ago, before he became the CEO of NPLC. He had interacted with them, worked with them, even fought against some vile ones.

He was a first hand witness to the potential power and danger that mutants wielded. And now he couldn't believe that someone of a familiar face was also a mutant.

While they all watched the CCTV display, loud outbursts of shock and surprise erupted around the long table as they saw Matthew making a shocking transformation.

"He--he--he's on fire!" The third man on the right exclaimed as he subconsciously stood up from his sitting position, while staring at the screen with wide disbelieving eyes.

"What is this?!" The first man on the left pointed at the screen; "How is he doing that?!"

"Sir can you explain what's going on?!" The second woman on the right, snapped her gaze from the TV screen back to Mr Fadeyemi, whom was showing much shock and surprise as the others in the room.

While they tried hard to believe what their eyes were seeing, Matthew, in his transformed state, attacked Tisane immediately. In comparison to their previous fight, the executives in the office, saw how Tisane struggled to defend against Matthew's terrifying onslaught.

It wasn't long after when Tisane was thrown to the floor that Matthew began to release terrible punches on him.

"He's going to kill him" the second woman on the right stated as a hint of pity was evident in her eyes.

Even though Tisane had illegally intruded into the company, it was quite unnerving to watch him being torn to pieces by a monster such as Matthew.

As Tisane was thrown against the wall, they all saw as his body lay sprawled on the floor, without moving. Matthew whom still had a reddish aura swirling around him walked menacingly towards the supposedly dead or unconscious Tisane.

Mr Fadeyemi was so shocked and surprised that he failed to react to his sudden desire to stop the fight immediately.

The third man on the left stiffly tore his gaze aware from the TV, as he spoke to Mr Fadeyemi; "Sir I think we need to reevaluate your suggestion about testing out a new weapon"

While he was speaking, another round of shocked gasps and exclamations erupted around the table as everyone pointed at the TV screen in shock and fear. Before that, a strange tremor shook the office room.

On the CCTV display, Tisane was seen to be engulfed in an equally scarlet aura like that of Matthew, but in Tisane's case, his aura was accompanied by electric arcs which swirled around him, making him look like a god of lightning. Mr Fadeyemi subconsciously jumped from his seat, as his body shook due to shock and his eyes were wide open due to disbelief.

This was just too unreal!

"What the heck?!" The second man on the right glanced around the room in fear and returned his gaze back to the screen.

"He has such power too?!" The first woman on the right exclaimed.

Some of them were glued to the screen while standing, while some were sitting. They all saw Tisane walk forward slowly towards the three mutants that were still standing after the sudden eruption.

The corridor was seen to be in a destroyed state, as it walls were shattered and it's floor cracked. The three mutants were suddenly thrown backwards as Tisane came before them.

Matthew whom had earlier fought with Tisane, was seen to be lying flat on the floor in a terribly messed up state. The remaining three mutants were also on the floor, as if unable to stand back up.

Tisane walked past them as he headed for the office main door.

"He--he--he's coming here!" The third man on the left exclaimed as fear filled his eyes.

Before today, he had never thought that such terrifying human beings existed. Things that were beyond scientific and theological explanation were quite scary and mysterious to him.

As they watched Tisane walk closer to the boardroom, Sabrina whom had seemed to have given up, suddenly jumped up while releasing an attack at Tisane who kept his back to her....

*******************

Present moment....

Tisane, whom heard Sabrina's scream, immediately felt a dangerous aura blow past him, followed by a murderous intent. As he swiftly turned round in reaction, he saw a metal rope arrayed with clustered blades swinging down at him.

It was so fast and sudden that he instinctively had to raise his arms as a form of defense.

_~Swish~_

_~Slice~_

The metal rope came down at him, the force of the attack sent him stumbling backwards. As he came to a stop, he glanced at his bloodied arms which incurred various deep cuts and injuries.

His heart skipped a beat as he felt the great danger behind the attack. If it had been his head or any vital area on his body.....

He immediately glared at Sabrina as rage welled up within him. He never considered her or anyone of them as his enemy.

But he didn't understand why they were so hostile towards him. All he wanted was a chance to talk to Mr Fadeyemi.

Was that too much to ask?!

Sabrina gritted her teeth in anger as the rope alike weapon swirled mysteriously around her. She had hoped that her sudden attack would have dealt more fatal damage to Tisane than it did.

She was not a fool. She had witnessed and sensed the terrifying intensity of Tisane's power and she knew that she was no match for him in direct straight forward combat.

But she was a mutant after all, and mutants excelled at two things; intelligence and raw power. She may not be able to defeat him with her power, but she could with her intelligence.

All she needed to do was to attack evasively, which was her fighting style, and strike at the opportune moment.

Meanwhile, Tisane gave Sabrina a hard stare, before he finally spoke; "Is it not enough that we end this fight here?"

"End?" Sabrina gave a wicked smile; "Sure we will end it.....with your blood!"

"I don't know why you would see it fit to harm me" Tisane said; "Especially when I met you with harmless intentions"

"Harmless?" Sabrina raised her eyebrows as if surprised; "You call this harmless?!"

She waved her arm as a gesture of indicating their current surrounding. Tisane subconsciously glanced around the hallway as he saw the damage that was prevalent all over the place.

His eyes then rested on Matthew's dismembered body which lay bloodied on the floor. He felt a constriction in his heart as a feeling of remorse washed over him.

_"Maybe she was right"_

_"I am the one whom had cause them so much harm"_

Tisane shifted his eyes back to Sabrina's hateful glare as he tried to plead;

"Look I never meant to cause so much harm.....I--"

"Save your plea for someone else or better still, save your plea for the grim reaper!" Sabrina roared viciously as she swung her weapon which sang through the air as it came at Tisane.

Tisane felt the aura of danger from the metal blades as they swirled and spun at him. Making sure not to come in contact with those terrifying metal blades again, Tisane dodged and evaded the attack.

He felt the power within him boiling rapidly as he twisted and turned his body to avoid Sabrina's unpredictable weapon. He felt that Sabrina was trying to read his movements as she attacked.

The faster he moved, the more she accelerated her attacks. It was like her weapon had the ability to attack from all directions, which began to make him feel trapped.
