███████-[001 has been received ] It is finally time to play it, instructor 5]
instructor 5 -[plays the videotape in unknown location]
Location: Mid-Geieva
[The city of Mid Geneva was cloaked in a sad twilight; the sky streaked with hues of orange and red. Four instructors, known only by their codenames, had been dispatched to intercept an unknown assailant who had stolen an energy fusion matrix. This device could obliterate half the planet if exposed to a light elemental.]
Instructor Alpha: "Stay alert. We can't let him activate that matrix."
Instructor Beta: "Roger that. We split into pairs. Gamma, you're with me. Delta, you're with Alpha."
[The team moved swiftly through the narrow alleyways, their senses heightened by the gravity of their mission. Suddenly, a shadow darted across the rooftops, and the assailant leapt down, landing with a thud.]
Assailant: "You're too late."
Instructor Gamma: "We'll see about that."
[ Gamma charged forward, his fists crackling with energy. The assailant sidestepped his attack and retaliated with a swift kick to Gamma's side. Gamma stumbled, but Beta was already moving in, unleashing a barrage of punches. The assailant deflected most of them, but Beta's relentless assault forced him to retreat momentarily.]
Instructor Delta: "Now, Alpha!"
[Alpha and Delta launched a coordinated attack from opposite sides. Delta's agile strikes, combined with Alpha's mighty blows, created a whirlwind of force. The assailant blocked and countered with inhuman speed, his movements a blur.]
[ Delta, using her speed to her advantage, managed to land a series of quick jabs, but the assailant grabbed her wrist and twisted, sending her crashing into a wall. Alpha roared in fury, his fist glowing with energy as he aimed a devastating punch. The assailant dodged at the last second, and Alpha's punch shattered the ground instead.]
Instructor Beta: "Focus, Alpha! We need to work together!"
[The assailant smirked and vanished into the shadows, reappearing behind Gamma. With a swift motion, he plunged a dagger into Gamma's back. Gamma gasped, collapsing to the ground as blood pooled beneath him.]
Instructor Alpha: "Gamma!"
[Beta's eyes burned with rage. He lunged at the assailant, grappling with him in a desperate struggle. The assailant overpowered him, slamming him to the ground and delivering a fatal blow to his chest. Beta's eyes dimmed as he took his last breath.]
Instructor Delta: "No!"
[Delta and Alpha were the only ones left. They regrouped, their determination unwavering despite the loss of their comrades.]
[Delta unleashed a series of high-speed kicks, forcing the assailant to backpedal. Alpha joined in, his punches synchronized with Delta's movements. The assailant struggled to keep up, but his agility and strength allowed him to hold his ground.]
Instructor Delta: "We need to take him down now!"
[ The fight intensified as Delta and Alpha pushed their limits. Delta's speed created a motion blur, while Alpha's raw power shook the ground with every strike. Sensing he was being cornered, the assailant activated the energy fusion matrix, a sinister glow emanating from the device.]
Assailant: "It's over!"
Instructor Alpha: "Not if we can help it!"
[Delta leapt into the air, delivering a spinning kick that knocked the matrix from the assailant's hand. Alpha followed up with a crushing blow to the assailant's chest, sending him flying into a nearby building. The structure crumbled under the impact.The assailant, now severely injured, tried to crawl towards the matrix, but Delta intercepted him, delivering a final, lethal strike. The assailant's body went limp, and the threat was neutralized.]
Instructor Delta: "We did it, Alpha. We stopped him."
Instructor Alpha: "At a great cost. Gamma and Beta..."
[The two instructors stood silently momentarily, mourning their fallen comrades. They retrieved the matrix and returned to their base, their hearts heavy with loss.]
At the Base:
Instructor Delta: "We secured the matrix."
Chief: "Good work. But... what we received was a fake. The real one is still missing."

Location: Downtown, Mid Geieva
Dek's father, a man of mysterious past and skills, sprinted down the bustling street, his breath ragged and his heart pounding. The two assailants were close behind, their footsteps echoing in the narrow alleyways. He dodged through the crowd, narrowly avoiding the rock elemental bullets that whizzed past him, shattering pavement and street signs.
Assailant 1: "Don't let him get away! He has the information we need!"
Assailant 2: "I'm on it!"
Dek's father turned a sharp corner, the soles of his shoes skidding on the wet pavement. He spotted a glass-fronted building ahead and made a split-second decision. He hurled himself through the glass wall, the shards slicing through the air. He hit the ground rolling, his arm catching a nasty cut from the glass.
Dek's Father: "Damn it," he muttered, clutching his bleeding arm. But then, to his astonishment, the blood droplets floated up and vanished into thin air. "No time to question it," he thought, pushing himself up and continuing his escape.
He bolted through the building, bursting out the back door and into another alley. The pain in his arm was sharp, but he forced himself to keep moving, weaving through the maze of backstreets.
Assailant 1: "We can't lose him!"
Assailant 2: "He's heading for the industrial district!"
Dek's father glanced over his shoulder, seeing the assailants' shadows growing larger. He darted into a narrow passageway, the walls closing in around him. He stumbled over debris but kept his balance, his mind racing with escape routes.
Assailant 1: "He went this way!"
The passageway opened up into a busy street. Dek's father merged with the crowd, his breathing heavy but controlled. He slipped into a nearby store, ducking behind shelves and peering through the window as the assailants ran past, their eyes scanning the throngs of people.
Assailant 2 (panting): "We lost him."
The two assailants regrouped, frustration etched on their faces. They pulled out a communication device and contacted an unknown figure.
Assailant 1: "We lost the target."
Unknown Voice: "Find him at all costs. He has something we need. Failure is not an option."
The assailants exchanged determined looks and split up, each taking a different route in the hopes of spotting Dek's father.
Meanwhile, Dek's father slipped out the back of the store, his steps quieter now. He navigated through the city's underbelly, finally emerging in a secluded area. He took a moment to catch his breath, leaning against a wall and wincing as he inspected his arm. The cut was deep, but it was already starting to heal, another mystery he had no time to ponder.
Dek's Father (to himself): "I need to find a safe place."
He moved with renewed purpose, disappearing into the shadows, aware that his pursuers were relentless but determined to stay one step ahead. His thoughts briefly flickered to his son, Dek, hoping he was safe and unaware of the danger lurking close.
The two assailants, now separated, continued their search with grim determination. They reported back periodically, their frustration mounting as the unknown voice kept pressuring them for results.
Unknown Voice: "Remember, this mission is critical. He cannot remain free. Capture him, or there will be consequences."
The chase was far from over, and the stakes were higher than ever.
Location: Abandoned Warehouse, Mid Geieva
Dek's father had been preparing for this moment. The abandoned warehouse was filled with shadows and echoes, the perfect place for him to execute his master plan. He moved swiftly, setting traps and positioning himself strategically. He knew his pursuers would follow his trail, and he was ready.
Dek's Father (thinking): "They think they have me cornered. It's time to turn the tables."
The two assailants cautiously entered the warehouse, their eyes scanning the darkened space.
Assailant 1: "Stay sharp. He could be anywhere."
Assailant 2: "He's here. I can feel it."
Dek's father watched from above, perched on a metal beam. He waited for the perfect moment to strike. As the assailants moved deeper into the warehouse, he triggered the first trap. A net fell from the ceiling, entangling Assailant 2.
Assailant 2 (struggling): "Damn it! It's a trap!"
Assailant 1: "Hold on, I'll get you out."
As Assailant 1 moved to free his partner, Dek's father dropped down, landing silently behind him. With a swift motion, he delivered a powerful blow to the back of Assailant 1's neck, sending him sprawling to the ground.
Dek's Father: "Not so fast."
Assailant 2 managed to cut through the net, freeing himself. He lunged at Dek's father with a knife, but Dek's father dodged effortlessly, grabbing the assailant's arm and twisting it behind his back.
Assailant 2 (gritting teeth): "You'll pay for that."
Dek's Father: "We'll see about that."
Assailant 1 recovered and joined the fray, launching a series of punches. Dek's father released Assailant 2 and spun around, blocking and countering each strike with precision. The fight intensified, the three combatants moving with blinding speed.
Assailant 1: "He's too strong!"
Assailant 2: "Keep at him!"
Dek's father used the environment to his advantage, leaping onto a stack of crates and kicking them down towards his attackers. The crates crashed to the ground, momentarily separating the assailants.
Dek's Father: "Is that all you've got?"
Assailant 1 hurled a rock elemental bullet, but Dek's father anticipated the move, sidestepping it and closing the distance. He delivered a rapid series of strikes to Assailant 1's torso, knocking the wind out of him.
Assailant 1 (gasping): "How...?"
Dek's Father: "You're out of your league."
Assailant 2, seeing his partner in trouble, unleashed a flurry of knife attacks. Dek's father moved with fluid grace, parrying each strike and disarming the assailant with a well-placed kick. The knife clattered to the ground.
Assailant 2: "You're going to regret this!"
Dek's Father: "I doubt it."
With a final, powerful punch, Dek's father sent Assailant 2 crashing into a wall. The assailant slumped to the ground, dazed and defeated. Assailant 1 tried to get back up, but Dek's father was on him in an instant, locking him in a chokehold.
Dek's Father: "You're done."
Assailant 1 struggled for a moment before going limp. Dek's father released him, letting the unconscious body drop to the floor. He stood over the fallen assailants, breathing heavily but victorious.
Dek's Father: "I warned you."
He quickly bound their hands and feet, ensuring they couldn't escape when they regained consciousness. He then retrieved a communication device from one of the assailants and sent a message to their unknown contact.
Dek's Father (speaking into the device): "Your men failed. If you come after me again, you'll get the same treatment."
He crushed the device under his boot and turned to leave, but not before checking his surroundings one last time. Satisfied that the area was secure, he slipped out of the warehouse and disappeared into the night.
Dek's Father (thinking): "This isn't over. I need to stay one step ahead."
The warehouse fell silent, the only sound the faint rustling of the unconscious assailants. Dek's father knew he had bought himself some time, but the threat was far from eliminated. He had to keep moving, keep planning, and above all, stay vigilant.
As he vanished into the shadows, he couldn't help but think of Dek and the danger that still loomed over both of them. The fight was far from over, and he was determined to protect his son at any cost.
Location: Downtown Geieva
Crash and Dek had been given a rare day off, and they decided to explore the bustling streets of Geieva. The city was alive with activity, people rushing about their daily routines, and the air filled with the sounds of chatter and commerce.
Crash: "Man, it's been forever since we had a break. Where do you wanna go first?"
Dek: "Anywhere that isn't training. Let's just wander and see what we find."
They meandered through the streets, stopping occasionally to look at shop windows and street performers. Crash, ever the jokester, couldn't resist making comments about everything they saw.
Crash (pointing at a vendor): "Think I could get a discount if I told them I'm a hero in training?"
Dek: "You'd probably get charged double for that attitude."
They both laughed, enjoying the rare moment of relaxation. As they walked further into a quieter part of town, Crash noticed something odd down an alleyway.
Crash: "Hey, Dek. Check this out."
Dek followed Crash's gaze and saw two figures slumped against the wall. Their clothes were torn, and they looked like they had been in a fight.
Dek: "What the... Let's get closer."
They approached cautiously, and as they got nearer, they recognized the faces of the two assailants. Crash nudged one of them with his foot.
Crash: "Hey, buddy. You alive?"
The assailant groaned but didn't respond. Dek knelt down to check for any signs of life.
Dek: "They're out cold, but they're alive. What do you think happened?"
Crash: "No idea, but we can't just leave them here. Let's take them to the other base and find out who they are."
With some effort, they hoisted the unconscious assailants onto their shoulders. Crash couldn't resist making a quip as they started walking.
Crash: "Look at us, carrying dead weight on our day off. Typical."
Dek: "You're always carrying dead weight, Crash. It's called your ego."
Crash: "Ha! Good one. But seriously, who do you think these guys are?"
Dek: "No clue, but they look like they've been through hell. Someone took them down hard."
As they made their way to the base, they passed through various parts of the city, drawing curious glances from passersby.
Crash: "Do you think they were after someone important? Maybe they tangled with a high-ranker."
Dek: "Possibly. Whoever did this to them didn't hold back."
They finally arrived at the secondary base, a nondescript building that blended in with its surroundings. Inside, they laid the assailants down on some cots and contacted the instructors.
Crash: "Hey, we found these two in pretty bad shape. No idea who they are, but they might have some answers."
Instructor 7 arrived first, followed by Instructor 8 and Instructor 3.
Instructor 7: "Good work, boys. We'll take it from here. You two get some rest."
Crash: "Rest? We just carried these guys halfway across the city!"
Instructor 3: "And now you get to take a break. Go, before we assign you more work."
Dek: "Fine, fine. But keep us posted. I have a feeling this is important."
As they left the base, Crash turned to Dek with a grin.
Crash: "So, back to our day off? Maybe we can find some decent food now."
Dek: "Sure. But let's avoid any more alleyways. One rescue mission is enough for today."
They wandered back into the heart of the city, the mystery of the assailants lingering in their minds. Despite the interruption, they were determined to make the most of their rare day off, name-calling and all.
Crash: "Hey, Dek. I bet I can find a better place to eat than you can."
Dek: "You're on. But I pick the next movie."
Crash: "Deal. Just no romantic comedies."
Dek: "No promises."
They laughed and continued their playful banter, the weight of their responsibilities momentarily lifted as they enjoyed the freedom of their day.
Dek's father removed his shirt, revealing the energy fusion matrix embedded into his back, glowing ominously as if it had become a part of him. He glanced at a picture of Dek, a grim determination in his eyes. "I'm sorry, son. This is the only way."
