A NEW FOOD CHAIN.

***In the Outskirts, At a shadowy edge of Navi's house..

Wacthing his stalkers with his dagger still against his chest, Navi's vision narrows as cold adrenaline flows heavily through his veins. Observing the intruders, Navi keeps his posture ready and waiting to release a sharp burst of momentum.

 Navi waits patiently for the perfect timing to attack as he watches the intruders mess with his door's lock for a moment before before finally pushing the door while releasing light chuckles.

Four out of the five-man group goes into the house without much caution and the last member of the group is left outside seemingly to stand guard.

Standing guard at the entrance, instead of looking outside Diane cautiously looks into the darkness of the house as the gripping sense of danger and death that has been troubling her keeps increasing with every passing second despite no obvious reasons for these dark chilly feelings.

The group have successfully carried out much more dangerous missions and compared to most others, the dangers of this mission is negligible even for a two-man squad talk-more an experienced five-man squad like her group.

What could possibly go wrong?!.

Still persimistic, Diane gulps down a mouthful of saliva as her grip on the open door's handle subconsciously tightens.

She watches silently as her team-mates navigate into the dark house without making much noise. With their hands out to scout for obstacles, the four people indoors stealthily approaches the sheets-covered figure that looks to be lying on the bed.

Her tense attention is drawn to every small movements snd sound from both her moving group members as well as the unseen target that seems to be covered on the bed.

Leaning in closer, Diane narrows her eyes to try to get a clearer view of the very dark inside but,..

Just then..

..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..

Diane's tense silence gets replaced by almost explosive shock and horror as she hears rapidly approaching heavy footsteps coming from her side thus triggering her to immediately shift her attention towards its source.

Turning her head, Navi's cold and white suited figure seems to enlarges in Diane's reflective brown pupils as her shocked mind registers his geared-up figure racing dangerously towards her in the moonlight with a dagger held sinisterly in his left hand.

Navi is inhumanely fast though not as fast as he wants to be. The distance between the edge of the house he's racing from to the scouting figure at his door is a little over four meters!.

With his most powerful burst of speed, Navi knows that he can cover this distance in just four seconds but he also knows that four seconds is more than enough time for any elite martial disciple to pull off a counter or two at a sudden attack!.

The instant that Navi speeds off from his hidden location, his mind is already calculating and predictimg the battle at five to seven steps ahead.

His mental battle-stimulation comes from different angles and steps and amongst these many angles and steps, not even in a single one does Navi delude himself into thinking that he can pull off a surprise one-strike kill!.

Still racing forward, time seems to slow down as Navi sees Diane's bamboo masked image in a slightly red hue as his sole slaps powerfully against the floor once more. Navi has mentally stimullated Diane's most likely movements and he knows from the start that there's no chance of completely catching the scout off-guard.

From the start, the most disturbing thing to Navi about his definite clash with Diane has been the distance of Four Meters between them though Navi pulls a plan that possibly changes this disadvantage to an advantage..

Four wide and wild steps!.

Each of these four steps should cover a little over a meter distance and Navi's pace should be such that each successive step would takes a little under a second to be executed thus by the fourth step, Navi would have Diane firmly within his dagger's attack range!.

The first step taken by Navi is beautifully placed and lunched too quietly for the scout to hear or register though Navi's next push against the ground is loud and powerful enough to draw her attention and throw her a bit off balance.

By Navi's third step, Daine lets go of the door's handle as the small cutlass in her left hand is subconsciously gripped more tightly but the the fourth steps lands thunderously as Navi's body shoots into an attack radius less than a second after.

Simultaneous to Navi's fourth step, a low whistle begins to escape Diane's mouth but it is barely released before she is forced to defend her self from her attacker who is launched dangerously at her figure without slowing his momentum.

Every move by Navi is perfectly executed and every move of Diane has been shockingly predicted to the letter.

With the air flowing against his hair, Navi watches seemingly in slow mode as Diane swings her small cutlass's edge through an ark at him but Navi has taken a few notes off the death duel he has recently witnessed.

Without errors or change of pace, Navi directs his entire charging momentum into a forward-side roll as he not only avoids the cutlass but he also gives a brutal cut to Diane's thigh. This unpredicted attack immediately immediately brings out a choking sound from Diane's lungs but she couldn't even begin to register the pain before the next attack hits her!.

The instant the edge of Navi's dagger's blade tears into Diane's thigh's flesh, muscles and probably bone, Navi kills his momentum by making a sharp turn around on the floor while immediately capturing Diane's now unstable body into a pin-fall roll.

His right-shoulder hooks between her spread leg, his right-palm hits on her torso as he rolls Diane up as if for a wrestling pin - with her shoulders stranded on the floor and one of her legs on his shoulder-.

This follow up roll-up move by Navi is executed way too fast for Diane to put-up any resistance and the pain coming from her thigh makes things even worse.

Immediate after the roll-up, Diane isn't even given the time to fully register that she is now pinned upside down as Navi's dagger's blade goes down into her heart almost as soon as her shoulders hit the dirt!.

 *ŚȚĂB!.*

Diane's body trembles lightly as the cold blade of a dagger goes between her ribs and straight into her heart but she is immediately left to slump lifelessly on the ground as her killer rolls off her body with his cruel blade sharply exiting her heart thus leaving Diane with an accumulating amount of blood pooling under her as her mind spirals through pain and shock.

Strenght leaves Diane's body almost immediately and her best attempt at movement becomes a spasm in her limb muscles and then minute twitchings of her finger tips.

Her heart has been stabbed and her organs were immediately flooded with a stream of warm blood!.

 Diane feels as heat leaves her body and as her own blood pool spreads out to tingle the back of her scalp. Diane could not fight the sensation of her senses detaching from her mind as she lays still.

Two heavy seconds passes by since she has been stabbed and Navi comes to accept that he has made his first kill(Atleast in this lifetime) while Daine seen to finally come to the realization that she is dying though the moment of this realization is also the moment of her death as her body goes completely still.

For a second, Navi goes completely still as he remembers the moment he had ruthlessly brought down a dagger into Diane's heart.

 From the moment Navi has started his charge to this moment, less than eight seconds has passed and the feeling of truly landing his first kill brings about a cold rush of endopanine and some other emotion.

 Whatever the other emotion is, it isn't a good feeling though its a good thing that Navi doesn't have time to get in his own mind as he can already see and hear the alerted figures of the other intruders racing at him through the darkness of his house.

The intruders were a bit slow to react though they are already close to the door as they race at him with passion.

In two seconds these four people would be out of thebopen door and on his figure!. Once more, everything seems to slow down as Navi moves on to the next stage of his battle plan.

Moving as fast as he can, Navi does not seem to have stopped moving as he reaches for the door's handle with hit right hand before hurriedly pulling the door close!.

With his left hand reaching to his back, Navi watches in a tension filled slow-mo as the door-frame and the door slowly approaches each other before kissing into a lock while covering up the visuals of the dark figures racing at him.

Was Navi hoping to keep the intruders away by locking the door?,.. No!.

 Half-a-second has not even passed-by since the door slams shut that Navi's left palm connects to his claymore sword's handle while fluidly pulling its blade out with a subconscious grace that makes it seem like he has done this action a thousand times over!.

Naked under the moonlight, Navi's blade hums coldly in the air as he immediately directs its tip towards the door. Holding tightly onto his sword's handle, Navi grips on it like a pole as he keeps his hold by his torso's side and with both his hands.

Without skipping a beat in movements, Navi puts one leg back as he takes on a charging posture and then..

*BANG!.*_Light vibrations.

After a disturbing impact sound that shakes the door's frame lightly, the door is immediately pulled open fiercely. Standing right in front of the opening door, Navi holds his charging posture as time seems to pass very slowly.

In slow motion, the door opens half-way through and at that brief moment, Navi kicks off another wild charge. In this moment,.. everything immediately leaves slow-mode.

The door opens up and Navi charges straight into the dark house with his Sword's tip pointed forward.

The big guy with the shield is the first one amongst the four intruders inside to reach the coosed door that Navi has pulled shut. Racing from the dark insides of the house, the four people within were too slow with reactions(Due to Navi's pace) and only saw the final moment where Navi pulls his dagger out of Diane's body?.

The hulky half-human in the group is able to make brief eye contact with Navi's cold orange eyes as Navi pulls the door close and from the hulky half-human's perspective, there's no doubt about it. The attacker is escaping!.

NO!, Not after what he has just seen Navi do to Diane!.

"UUGGHH!",.. A low roar leaves the big man's throat as he immediately closes-in on the closed door but due to his size and momentum, the hulky man couldn't stop himself from having a brief collision against the door.

Barely feeling the impact of the collision due to rushing adrenaline, the hulky man immediately pulls the door back open though this very brief moment completely halt his wild momentum!.

The moonlight leaks in through the door as the door opens up but flames of shock bursts up in the hulky half-human's eyes as a charging Navi rams the full length of his sword's blade straight into the man's upper stomach(Targeting his spleen) before putting the entire force of his small but inhumanely powerful frame into a wild charge!.

With both of Navi's hand gripping on the sword's handle that's by his right side, Navi's left shoulder pushes into the big man's upper stomach and his insane strenght cones to play as he pushes the mans entire body backwards and not just through a step or two steps!.

The brutal stabbing and ramming by Navi happens in an instant though it doesn't end till seconds after as Navi manages to push the big man backwards through several meters with a powerful momentum utill the man's back and sword's top slams into a wall.

The big mans stabbed body is slams heavily into the wall thus made him weakly cough out a mouthful of blood on the back of Navi's neck which disturbingly complements the warm stream of flowing blood that's already bathing both of Navi's hands as well as his sword's handle.

Due to the momentum put into the charge, Navi's blade tip drills a bit into the wall and the recoil of the sudden stop gets painfully absorbed by Navi's tender wrist yet this sharp pain does not stop Navi from immediately raising up his leg.

Fluidly reaching down with his right hand, Navi pulls a dagger out of his boot at record speed. With the same speed, he curves and sends the dagger's tip upwards then into the already stabbed hulky man's throat.

After the sharp dagger stab, a new stream of warm blood immediately begins to trickle down Navi's right hand the down to his shoulder.

Under the darkness of the room, Navi has taken another life!.

At this moment, Navi's heart is beating fast and all his senses are mostly overwhelmed by.. everything.

The metallic smell of running blood, the dying mans choked groan, the cruel warmth of the blood over his suit and face, the sound of his heart in his veins, the intensity of his bloody grip over his sword's bloodier handle,.. the ache of his tender muscles from such a brutal ramming feat and the low buzz in his brain from the intense rushes of adrenaline!.

Navi struggles a small bit but he pulls out his blade tip from the wall then out of the now dead hulky man's limp body. With a heave, Navi heavily strains his lungs as he takes in the metallic air greedily.

Blood in the air, blood in his hair.

The darkness of the room makes it all a bit more cold yet thrilling as Navi turns towards the last three members of the intruding party who are staring at him in confusion and tension while truly registering the rapid turn of events.

In the darkness, two lines of blood flows out of Navi's hair and down to his lips.

Not being an hypocrite, Navi doesn't exactly judge them for the brutality they planned to execute on him as they Prey on the weak. Navi considers himself different.. infact he is different because he,..

 HE přėýş on the ŚŤRØŇĞ!.
