"I'm a guard stationed at a Secret Government Prison" (Full Story) Creepypasta | Scary Stories

Who's the worst most despicable person you can think of jeffrey dahmer ted bundy louis garavito and paul pott of course you can make your own arguments for any of them or anybody else for that matter yet all of these people have one thing in common they're human preposterous people try to act like monsters either due to lofty ridiculous ideals or some primal urge to revolt against Society as a whole it's quite the bizarre phenomenon yet none of these admittedly sick people have truly fallen into the abyss perhaps they've stared down into it dipped their feet

in it but none of them have taken the plunge as a whole despite their efforts they weren't able to separate themselves from their inherent humanity but that's a good thing and that's why They were relatively easy to take down the bad news is that every once in a while special cases will arise in our circles we call these individuals the void people or just voids individuals so far gone that they can hardly be considered humans anymore the cause behind entities like this well i wouldn't know nobody really does maybe they were born with that latent

potential maybe they Underwent some obscure supernatural transformation maybe their experiments gone awry aliens from another planet [ __ ] maybe they're literal demons from hell brought here by some fool who just had to conduct some [ __ ] up ritual who the hell knows the only detail that matters is the fact that they exist and dealing with them is more than a [ __ ] i'm sure you're familiar with the Concept of maximum security prisons places where drug kingpins terrorists prolific serial killers etc are sent the place is meant to contain the worst among humans

well those are a joke compared to where the voids are kept at a pair of undisclosed coordinates and built in the underground of a tiny island somewhere deep in the atlantic there exists a prison unlike anything you could imagine We simply call it the chasm a penitentiary for pure unbridled evil a collective evil that would surely yield humanity's extinction in a couple of months if it were allowed to run rampant in the world let me emphasize this a bit further the individuals that require being held there are not merely criminally insane they are criminally absolutely

out of this universe [ __ ] bonkers Of course you wouldn't know any of this would you the government would probably sacrifice a thousand children before they divulge a single detail about the place to a person without high enough clearance but you know that's just how they are before i came there were exactly 32 being confined there say for two that were still being actively pursued through the brazilian underground And russian tundra respectively that was about all of them in the world at least we assumed that was all of them can't really be sure about

anything these days each holding cell was fortified to hell specifically designed to counter and contain the respective void they were holding if they managed to escape there were eight drones armed with gatling guns Blades grenades and rockets waiting for them within a larger chamber if they managed to break through that then 20 guards and mechanized suits would have to step in however everybody understood the futility of that protocol those guards were getting slaughtered in seconds regardless of the void that they went up against maybe minutes if they were really skilled i'm not entirely sure why

any of Us regular guards are stationed here at all bureaucracy i guess who knows what the government's thinking if the situation were ever to get too drastic then there was really one feasible countermeasure in place a last resort so to speak the higher ups would call in something known as task force void nova hammer or tfvnh for short i've never seen them in action before Nor do i know much about them not that i really want to though if you ever find yourself witnessing them in person that must mean you're having a bad bad day

so why am i disclosing all of this uber classified information that would either get me killed or thrown in the deepest hole conceivable for the rest of my short life well i'd estimate that there's about a 90 chance that i'm going to die by the end of today and even if i do make it out of this fiasco my life's never really going to be the same so [ __ ] it here we go my day started out more or less normal i was part of the unit guarding somebody named jim henninger well that was

his real name it doesn't evoke a lot of fear does it And that's why we had to call him something else standing at five foot seven 171 centimeters 135 pounds or 61 kilograms we were all required to memorize their physical stats he doesn't look like much however if you ever find yourself in the same room with him no matter how big and tough you are you're going to get dissected or Something the main danger surrounding him stems from the fact that he seems to be able to teleport on will one second you'll be staring at

his dark lifeless eyes and after one blink he'll disappear in a cloud of black haze only to end up breathing right down your neck for that reason there's got to be at least 10 sets of eyes on his monitor at All times there's no way around it if he's not being watched he will escape he's also kind of unkillable no matter how many bullets you put through his head or blades you plunge into his chest the guy just won't croak and once he gets a scalpel in his hands oh boy of course he's just one

of the 32 and comparatively speaking On the tamer side with that said my guard shift ended without any incident routine stuff following that i went on break in the lunchroom with my buddy santu our conversations were usually pretty dry but at least i can talk to the guy it's hard to get along with any of the other guards they're all just weird in one way or another anyway lunch was usually the most Enjoyable part of a working day in kazam what i didn't enjoy was the blaring [ __ ] alarm and the deafening repeating automatic

voice blasting the word that went off as i was about to take my chili out of the microwave i could see sandhu's face drop at the disturbance are you [ __ ] kidding me he mouthed now i'd only ever experienced one minor breach up until that point and it was from the surgeon i guess none Of us were paying any attention that day he made it about eight miles off the coast using a stolen boat racking up a total body count of 145 in his wake it took three full days to wrangle him back and

four more weeks to fix all the damage that he'd done to the infrastructure that was all just one prisoner if we were dealing with three or more then our combined efforts as guards Wouldn't have stood a semblance of a chance there had only ever been one major breach in the chasm's history in which eight voids had broken out nearly simultaneously it was also apparently the only time that tfv and h had to step in this was all around 12 years ago long before i became a guard myself the aftermath of that i don't have enough

clearance to know But i'm willing to bet that it was nothing fun we did have a breach procedure it was a lengthy document outlining exactly what we were supposed to do and where we were supposed to go i've read it before and it's [ __ ] garbage it's essentially predicated on the idea that we're cannon fodder and that we're obligated to do whatever we can to contain the prisoners if anybody actually followed the Procedure they'd die instantly well what the hell are we supposed to do somebody asked they only got shrugs in response except for

sansan that is i [ __ ] hated sansan the guy seemed to believe that his life's an action movie and that he's the invincible main protagonist are y'all [ __ ] [ __ ] he screamed at the top of his lungs with a stupid grin plastered across his face We never get any [ __ ] action let's [ __ ] go before anybody could stop him he picked up his rifle swung the door open like the giant [ __ ] dumb ass he is since the alarm was blaring we could barely hear anything that was

going on outside the corridors for that reason we were all rather shocked upon seeing morgy the corgi standing right outside imagine some guy walking around wearing A dirty giant creepy dog costume now imagine that guy is seven foot two with a voice that's simultaneously deep raspy and childish that's morge the corgi for you i could see the bravado leaving sonson's face the moment he laid eyes on the abomination in person we'd only ever seen him through a screen before i always hated it when people tried Imitating dogs but hearing it coming from morgie was a

bit different and a lot worse before sansan could even put his finger on the trigger his head was mashed into pulp morgy began pouncing on other guards effortlessly crushing limbs with his oversized paws he'd switched between running around on his feet and crawling on all fours the last thing i saw before running out Of the break room was morgie forcing the remaining horrified agents to play fetch with him using a stray arm but of course it's not like i managed to escape anywhere better the entire place was in a [ __ ] tizzy the squad

leaders were frenetic attempting to scrap together some kind of suppression force i couldn't understand why they were so delusional are we guards supposed to be badass [ __ ] yeah due to our field powers we're specifically selected from the existing pool of cia agents and military personnel to be dropped into this godforsaken place put us against a trafficking militia terrorists etc we'll smoke them but what we can't deal with are things that aren't supposed to exist in the first place we watch creature features and slasher Fix with the inherent understanding that we are watching fiction

a type of visual catharsis for our inherent fascination with the dark and grim it's not supposed to be real and we have no idea how to act once we find it standing right in front of our faces not even us so-called elite agents like i said i'm not sure why they even bothered keeping guards in the chasm to begin With these were the thoughts that ran through my head as i bolted through the hellish corridors at one point i stumbled upon a crowd of guards leering over some rails shockingly they didn't seem concerned in the

slightest what the hell you guys looking at i asked them a guard i recognized as fenton turned around oh this is going to be Sick he grinned gesturing for me to look below i didn't even know where i was going so i didn't realize that i'd wandered into a level right above the weight room it was a sprawling gym with an abundance of the best equipment attainable but there was one guard that used it the most bronco petrovic a serbian american whose oversized frame hardly makes any [ __ ] sense i swear when i first

met this guy he Couldn't have been over seven feet he's around eight 82 or 249 centimeters now i'm not quite sure what kind of bizarre experiment they ran on him but they sure as hell overdid it he was in the middle of overhead pressing what appeared to be an ungodly amount of weight when one of the escaped voids wandered into the weight room floor it was loose standing at a 6-2 188 centimeters 205 pounds 93 kilograms like all the other prisoners the guy was a complete mystery his mostly bare body was comparable of that of

a bodybuilders save for the hundreds of gnarly scars decorating his skin the more disconcerting part of his aesthetic was the fact that he only had one half of his face the other consisted of his exposed skull with some kind of red electrical current Running through his cranial bones he had the same current running through his hands which allowed him to savagely electrocute whatever organic material he touched quickly rendering it to a pile of steaming black mush i guess that my fellow agents didn't bother reading up on the prisoners they guarded because bronco never stood a

chance it didn't matter if you were superior to Lose in terms of strength one touch and you were gone the only practical way of taking him down was by using ranged weapons and even then that task was easier said than done bronco grunted like the dumb meathead he is before grabbing an olympic weight lifting plate and chucking it like a frisbee at lose it connected seemingly shattering his ribs but it wasn't nearly enough to take Him down as soon as he rushed forward the fight had been decided bronco attempted to tackle him a mistake so

horrible that his whole body began twitching as his skin made contact with lou's fingertips the electricity spread through his giant flame causing his vitals to shut down within seconds in no time at all he was reduced to a heaping mass of scorched flesh on the Floor he didn't even have time to scream i could see the respective faces of my stunned colleagues drop as they witnessed what they likely deemed an improbable outcome idiots that's what they were but truth be told i was also an idiot for even bothering to stay not long after the sounds

of cracking bones and heavy footsteps began emanating from an adjacent walkway Along with the rest of the agents my gaze shifted toward what was sure to be another incoming menace the locked metal door to the corridor was suddenly dented from the other side a big [ __ ] dent mind you it only took one blow to blast it off its hinges completely standing at six six 198 centimeters and 242 pounds 110 kilograms and arriving in a haze of blood guts and limbs was the slash a flick-ass Killer quickly known as wirehead in congruence with his

name his entire head saved for a single eye was wrapped in rusty barbed wire he wore a decrepit old leather jacket and jeans complete with a large pompadour on top like an 80 or whatever high school delinquent everyone's main concern was the weapon in his hands a large iron bat wrapped in the same Barbed wire on his head if you didn't die from the impact unlikely the subsequent infection would surely get you and don't ask us why we didn't take his weapon away when we contained him we did but somehow in some way he got

it back these things really can't be helped what the hell is going on thought breaches happened sure but it seemed as if every [ __ ] void had somehow escaped How is that possible in any case i couldn't afford to think deep into it at the moment as wirehead began moving down the mystified agents in his way i found myself accidentally making eye contact with blues from below i nearly had a heart attack as i began pushing through the crowd even though i was implicitly certain of the fact that no other location within the chasm

would have been much safer I was still being driven ahead by my fight-or-flight responses away from that immediate threat it was kind of funny i had been through so many life or death scenarios that my reaction to adrenaline coursing through my veins had been dulled well it sure as hell got invigorated today i guess that i wasn't paying attention to my surroundings because right as i Was about to climb a staircase i felt an oversized arm slam into my chest knocking me over in the process i looked up to see another guard sayed leering down

at me sure i was happy it wasn't one of the voids but say it wasn't much more pleasant what are you running for he shot me a smug grim this is a breach isn't it why don't we do our jobs here and fix it oh [ __ ] off i spat at him before trying To duck past no luck there he caught me by the collar and slammed me to the wall he certainly had the weight advantage still i didn't practice hand to hand combat just to be ragdolled by some [ __ ] i slammed

my elbow down into his wrist which managed to loosen his grip i followed up with a knee to the stomach and attempted to strike his neck but then he caught my wrist mid-punch Nice moves he said with an obnoxiously sarcastic tone he took his palm and rammed it into my chin nearly causing me to black out in the meantime wirehead was getting closer i guess we'll have to take this up another time he said somebody's gotta work around here i had no idea what he was thinking trying to take on one of the voids but

i wasn't trying to see his delusions through in person Still in pain from his palm strike i pulled myself up and began running once more i'll while the sounds of carnage escalated around me but there was a glaring issue i had no idea where i was going the exits were surely going to be blocked off from the outside do we have some kind of safe room i thought to myself no of course we didn't we were entirely Expendable they 100 expected us to fight these things head-on even though there was zero [ __ ] chance

of victory on our side there was only one thing i could do here survive until tfv and h showed up obviously that wasn't any kind of guaranteed reprieve but my options were slim nevertheless something rather surprising transpired Amidst the cacophony of frenetic orders from our superiors a familiar voice snuck in through my radio hey jason you alive it was sandu i picked up my radio and isolated his transmission yeah where are you man block c got lucky and found something weird it might save us though come on obviously there wasn't much information there but it

was better than running around Aimlessly thankfully block c was fairly close so i was able to make it out without running into another void however when i got there it was still as chaotic as ever i swiveled my head around trying to spot sandu i yelled into my radio but his response was drowned out by everything around me as i searched i began sensing a perplexing sinister pressure that made it feel as if i were sinking into the Concrete beneath me i hardly had to guess the source it was diaxic nine foot five 287 centimeters

i don't know how much he weighs diaxec was comparable in appearance to something you'd see in the corner of your room during sleep paralysis a hulking faceless figure wearing a sweeping black robe that jerked around in unsettling movements as he or she who knows walked i wasn't sure How exactly he killed people mind you as soon as anyone got within a certain distance to him they'd freeze in place and begin bleeding from their eyes and then they just stay that way forever obviously that wasn't something i was looking forward to as i looked ahead i

could see some unfortunate guards already getting caught in his death zone in an attempt to avoid a similar fate i turned the opposite direction and began Running then i nearly [ __ ] myself standing about ten feet away was the undead nazi five foot eight 173 centimeters 143 pounds 65 kilograms his name essentially told it all a man wearing a dirty tattered ss uniform with a cracked gas mask covering his face in one hand he gripped his signature account messer 42 blade that was Inexplicably unbreakable no matter what the hell he tried doing to it

he held a flamethrower hose connected to a massive tank on his back which sprayed out some kind of scorching black flame that would supposedly yield pain beyond comprehension if you were ever to come in contact with it you could say that i was stuck between a rock and a hard place the only other way out was taking the plunge over the rail in front of me Onto the massive screaming bodies 50 feet below before i considered simply saying my prayers i felt a hand tug at my sleeve from the side giving me another heart attack

but this time it was good news for once i looked over to see sandu poking his head out from what appeared to be some kind of hidden door in the wall let's [ __ ] go he whispers shouted Before pulling me in he closed the door behind him plunging us into complete darkness what the hell is this place i asked hardly expecting a detailed response sandu illuminated his face using his phone's flashlight he couldn't tell you but it's [ __ ] crazy i could hear the nazi beginning to spray his flamethrower from out in the

corridor i suddenly wondered whether or not Diaxic's power would apply to the other voids in any case it was better not to be in such close vicinity to them so i followed sandu he led me down some kind of hidden hallway the walk was rather long maybe about eight minutes and i eventually found myself in what appeared to be some kind of surveillance control room it was still dark but there was an array of monitors giving off enough light to Comfortably navigate around but here's the strange thing the place looked kind of haphazard no chance

it was being used by the higher ups the monitors were scattered around connected by a mess of wires to multiple outlets spread throughout the room there was only one chair i guess this is beyond explaining i said yeah no [ __ ] huh sandu replied before gesturing towards the monitors Check it out what the [ __ ] did we just find i took the suggestion letting my eyes drift over the screens what i saw would have been normal in any other scenario each monitor was streaming a different section of the prison all displaying the utter

carnage that was going on outside the guards were being ripped to shreds some tried fighting most were running but what they had in common was the fact That they were all being utterly obliterated by the voids i could see the surgeon giving somebody a forced lobotomy grinning like hell while doing so at the same time morgie was chewing on a severed head like a toy but then i caught something interesting on a screen below it was wirehead and lose staring each other down that's when a rather obvious revelation Hit me of course the voids weren't

only going to kill the guards they were sure as hell going after each other as well that much should have been apparent from the beginning i grinned feeling some kind of obscure hope creeping into my system that hope was only bolstered when i saw the nazi utterly dousing diaxec with a relentless wave of black flames with the ladder struggling to move Forward as a result i guess these bastards can be heard after all i thought to myself but of course my hopes were merely transitory i wasn't gonna kid myself even if only one void was

left standing at the end of everything that just meant it'll be the strongest one of them all and we can't stay in here forever at this point my future is uncertain at Best maybe i'll get lucky and maybe not but in the meantime i suppose i'll just enjoy the show to see how things turn out this place gives you the creeps doesn't it i couldn't disagree with sandhu's assessment of the bizarre room we found ourselves in the monitors only illuminated the area up until a certain point however we couldn't see any walls which Meant that

the place had to be bigger than what could be seen either by a little or a lot we couldn't know unless we decided to venture further into the darkness neither of us took that initiative though keeping it a mystery still it didn't feel like anybody was in there with us so when we allowed ourselves to relax a bit i took the first sitting shift lying back in the chair and focusing on The monitor that i deemed most interesting at the moment wirehead versus lose who was i rooting for none of them nevertheless i was morbidly

eager to see these two horrific titans square off amongst us guards we created an unofficial tier system ranking each respective void in terms of estimated threat comparison to each other The tears went as such tornado weakest tsunami hurricane mid earthquake asteroid highest imminent death yet [ __ ] up they were also divided into subdivisions high low mid etc with that said blues was around a high tornado while wirehead was a mid tsunami a glaring difference between them but not enough that would make it impossible for luz to win You want to make a bet i

asked sandu half joking he chuckled you know my luck's cursed but i guess if we don't make it out of here live then my debts null anyway luz was more of a defensive combatant so it wasn't surprising when wirehead initiated the conflict he twirled his bat around still with remnants of guard flesh clinging on it in a near mocking fashion at lew's he Was a delinquent after all lewis hardly reacted of course that's just the way he was in response he stepped forward electricity flickering through his hands and up to his forearms wirehead followed suit

unleashing a big swing at lose's head which he managed to intercept with one of his forearms nevertheless the wire still pierced his skin wire had followed it up with a head Button this time it connected with the flesh of luz's face slicing him up rather gruesomely but despite his seemingly grievous injuries he remained unwavering that was the thing about luz he was incapable of feeling any pain like i said his exact origins remained a mystery but the one thing that we knew about him for sure was the fact that he hailed from some Kind of

ancient clan residing in the arctic circle in fact he was the sole survivor of an incident that decimated his village and he was hungry for revenge against the unknown force that did it after taking the headbutt luz was now in striking range he formed his fingers into an arrow shape and drove them into wirehead solar plexus before electrocuting his insides wire Had quaked in pain as he swung his bat in a frenzied rage just about demolishing lose's ribcage no reaction from him though instead he took his other hand and wrapped it around wirehead's neck any

normal person would have succumbed to lose his electrical shocks after a few seconds but of course wirehead was no normal person despite blood pouring out of his chest wound and the skin of his neck Beginning to bubble he picked up loose by the throat and slammed him over the stool railing he [ __ ] broke his back even without a sound the mental audio of the spine snapping reverberated throughout my mind unsurprisingly lose didn't bat an eye wirehead went in for the kill tossing loser's body onto the ground before smashing it until it resembled nothing

more than a mess of bloody pulp and broken bones But somehow he was still alive among the gruesome pile i could see an eye blink once wirehead had exhausted himself from his relentless swinging loose took his chance using his one arm that hadn't been smashed to bits he crawled over and grabbed wirehead by the foot before scaling him up to his neck once there he drilled his fist into wirehead's forehead utterly shredding his hand in the Process in the end it was worth a sacrifice he was able to electrocute wirehead's brain finally causing the behemoth

to drop so i guess he won sanders said i guess i had my own reservations about calling lose's performance of victory by the end of it all of his limbs and his spine had been shattered and not an inch of his body wasn't hosting a series of deep cuts The good side of his face had also been chipped away to the skull leaving only his eye and half of his nose intact and yet he didn't move with a hint of desperation or concern calmly crawling away from the scene using his one mangled hand i could

still see the current flowing through it as well a telltale sign that he was ready to pick up another fight nice comeback victory sandus said i Don't see him making it far though not as a tornado tear yeah but we made all that [ __ ] up it's not like it means anything i responded truth be told i was nearly rooting for lose at the end there something about his resilience resonated with me as bizarre as it may seem i scanned the rest of the monitors while wirehead and luz were squaring off the undead nazi

had burnt diaxec to a Crisp on another monitor morgy playing around with a void corpse that i recognized as death shadow he chose his own name three down i muttered to myself [ __ ] we got a big one coming up sandu announced i followed his eyes to a monitor near the bottom of the room he was right this one was gonna be good standing at the opposite sides of the kitchen were trench six foot three 190 centimeters 330 pounds 150 kilograms and send you 5 foot 10 177 centimeters 148 pounds 67 kilograms trench was

a silent entity dressed entirely in ancient looking deep sea diving gear except for the head which remained without a helmet however you couldn't get a glimpse of his face regardless that was due to the fact that his features were completely distorted so much so that if you tried focusing on The details all you were getting was a nasty migraine on top of that he was invisible in person let me explain if you were standing in front of him you wouldn't be able to see him the only way to get a glimpse of him was through

secondary means cameras mirrors etc which made him all the more dangerous as for how he killed people it was Either by brute force using his monstrous strength or b his death aura as us guards have dubbed it similar to diaxis's zone once you were in his close vicinity you'd feel an astronomical amount of pressure and get crushed on the spot comparable to what you'd feel standing at the bottom of the ocean but that's only if trench wills it sometimes he'll turn off his oars and Simply punch somebody's head off for that reason he was in

the mid hurricane tier as for senju he was basically a psychotic demon-possessed martial artist with supernatural levels of speed strength and agility he apparently trained in the wraith style or the technique beyond human comprehension whatever the hell those were supposed to mean When he gets serious his eyes will roll into the back of his head and black veins will begin bulging out from underneath his skin at that point he'll be moving so fast that his motions become impossible to keep up with visually and a single punch from him will be enough to completely vaporize a

human head but in all honesty he's one of the least malicious voids out of the bunch if you're weak like us gods he won't Even spare you a glance granted that you stay out of his way the only thing that he's really looking for are strong opponents to fight but when he can't find one he starts to get antsy and then problems emerge we've pegged him at a low hurricane can senju even see trench sandu asked i guess so i responded the question was worth asking but i wouldn't have been surprised if Trenches or invisibility

simply didn't work on him at all that seemed to be the case since senju decided to strike first he rushed forward at an unfathomable speed directing what must have been hundreds of strikes in succession at trench however none of them fazed the obscure diver i could see senju's lips curling into a psychotic grin at the fact he certainly found what he was looking For the floor beneath him cracked as his eyes turned white and his grotesque veins began bulging if we couldn't see his strikes before it was beyond impossible now he rushed forward unleashing a

maelstrom of lightning-like punches elbows and kicks against trench this went on for about five seconds before he was stopped in his tracks trench had grabbed him by the throat still not looking any worse for wear in The process i could see send your mouth something to the effect of what the [ __ ] before he was tossed into a metal fridge it certainly appeared as if trench was too much of a tank for him to handle nevertheless senju got back up and cracked your shoulders into place while blood leaked from his mouth and then he

seemed to let out a shriek crazy [ __ ] and i thought to myself what the hell Did it take for somebody to become like this at that point he'd seemingly given up on the technique entirely instead he grabbed a handful of kitchen knives and began choking down a trench while none of them pierced the suit one of them managed to stick in his distorted head which eventually dealt some damage trench flinched before taking the knife out and throwing it back at senju who in Turn caught it effortlessly at this point he was howling in

what i assumed was some kind of [ __ ] up sadomasochistic jubilation he found the weak point senju rushed back a trench knife in hand before slashing away at his face spurts of vicious dark blue blood stained the kitchen floor along with senju's face soon enough the knife snapped and trenched through a desperation punch at senju's temple He managed to block it with his forearm although i could see his bones cracking from the impact he left back as his arm hung limp to his side dodging a follow-up haymaker throughout everything a grin remained plastered on

his face his veins were bulging out so hard that i found it hard to believe they weren't going to completely burst altogether with one arm send you lifted a metal table and swung it to the side of Trench's head nearly taking it off in the process he wasted no time grabbing a large frying pan and pouncing at his incapacitated opponent knocking him both over in the process he then took a position the top trench's body furiously slamming the pan onto his face martial arts huh i could hear sandu mutter after what must have been 250

blows the pan broke On the ground trench's head had been obliterated no less than 50 strikes prior senju tossed the scrap metal aside and looked up at the ceiling presumably screaming his lung sore in sheer combative delight well apparently our tier system means [ __ ] all i chuckled despite the morbid scene unfolding in front of us sandhu shared a laugh with me We were at the point where the absolute absurdity and danger of the situation was beginning to fade from our senses well i suppose we were enjoying ourselves as [ __ ] up as

that may sound we kept watching as senju got up and stumbled around evidently disoriented from both his injuries and successive fits of fighting spirit induced rage euphoria he took about four steps before his head Exploded throwing the two of us watching for quite the loop another figure stepped into frame whom we recognized as satan bought six foot one 211 centimeters 535 pounds 243 kilograms i felt a shiver crawl down my spine upon seeing him somewhat snapping me back into reality despite his comical name satan bought had to be one of the most Frightening voids out

there i just couldn't understand what the [ __ ] he was supposed to be his body appeared to be robotic but moved in ways that were too fluid for even the most sophisticated android like legitimate metal flesh it was honestly maddening to look at on top of that he literally resembled the [ __ ] devil himself reddish black scaly skin metallic shell A mouth full of exposed razor-like teeth rectangular slanted crimson eyes a pair of large mechanical wings and a long tail ending in something that resembled a three-pronged spear to boot for whatever reason he

also had a rocket launcher atop his right shoulder and a gatling gun connected to his left hand no these were not mechanical modifications they were literally connected to his body He was unanimously considered to be one of the most dangerous voids residing in the chasm rated at a high earthquake even if senju was at his full strength he wouldn't have stood a chance oh [ __ ] sandu commented i was hoping he didn't escape well let's not worry about him for now i said turning my attention to another monitor what my eyes landed on next

was Utter massacre sitting atop a pile of guard bodies that must have eclipsed six feet was hugo wright aka the brutal bishop 6-2 189 centimeters 200 pounds 91 kilograms like his name indicated he was dressed in a traditional vicar priest outfit the only difference was the fact that the cross he wore on his neck was fashioned out of blades the man himself had long sweeping black Hair and about 14 bags under both of his dead blue eyes it was unclear to us what his real motivations were it's not likely he really followed the rules of

any religion on earth despite his outfit he just went on long rants about the sin of nadalism and the futility of existence and how to reach a state of sanctity we must first reach a clean state Basically he wanted to kill every sentient being on earth and then himself he wasn't all talk either he was certainly strong we raided him at a low hurricane after praying to whatever [ __ ] up deity he worshipped to top his pile of corpses he slid down and began stalking the corridors for more victims to fulfill his holy objective

who he came across next couldn't have been more perfect Kale silva aka vampire cop nine foot five 175 centimeters 176 pounds 80 kilograms kale was rather interesting being that he was one of the most cooperative voids in fact he was the only prisoner that willingly turned himself in his backstory was interesting as well and one of the few we actually knew about he used to be a prolific merciless brazilian cop who patrolled the most Dangerous parts of rio it was so much so that he earned a reputation amongst the criminal underground as the reaper but

he was still only human during one fateful mission his entire unit was massacred during an ambush attack by about a dozen distinct gangs who were all unified under the same goal of taking him down he was the only survivor but was captured in the process After being brutally tortured in a warehouse for about five hours the light suddenly went out during this period of darkness the only sounds entering his ears were those of carnage every single gang member was being obliterated by some unknown force at the end of the bloodbath he could hear footsteps slowly

approaching him before a deep raspy voice whispered something into his ear there's potential in you allow me to Bestow you with an opportunity he felt the sharp pain in his neck before the hidden entity spoke to him again fulfill your duty and then he passed out when he woke up he found himself in his bed with all of his wounds from his torture session just about healed all wounds except for one a bite mark on his neck his appearance had also changed drastically pale skin Dark eyes and fangs he'd heard about the stories but could

hardly comprehend that he'd become one himself while he couldn't handle being exposed to the sun anymore he found himself with supernatural speed and strength which he used to brutalize criminals at night as a vigilante however it didn't take long for him to go too far one night he went into a frenzy breaking Into the house of a suspected rapist and killing everybody inside everybody including the rapist's innocent mother and daughter his resolve in regards to justice had never wavered remaining strong no matter what he went through for that reason he could hardly live with the

guilt on his conscience and walked to the police station he used to work at turning himself into his former Colleagues that all thought he was dead of course the news spread quickly that's when the cia stepped in and transferred him over to the chasm he put up no resistance in fact he deemed the chasm a place where he 100 belonged safe to say he was a rather bizarre case we still put him at a low hurricane same as hugo on the monitor i could see kale's lips moving wanting to hear what he had to say

i Began looking around to see if i could get some audio it didn't take too long for me to find the volume control panel which was located right under the middle desk thankfully whoever set up this weird place took up the liberty of labeling each switch with its respective monitor i turned the volume up right in the middle of kale spiel dangerous scum i'm gonna have to dispose of you all Before it's too late hugo's face remained expressionless scum an apt description of the ones residing in this place but i understand that you are also

a man wrought with unforgivable sin i'll treat you no differently he responded mikhail chuckled i wouldn't expect you not to he took a provocative fighting stance come on englishman let's settle this Hugo put a hand on his blade cross before muttering another prayer to himself he looked up a kale his eyes now a deep crimson the atrocities i commit are only in the pursuit of ultimate holiness i hope you can understand kale grind yeah i get it crazy people are crazy as he finished the sentence he rushed forward in a quick blur Sinking his fangs

into hugo's neck in turn hugo grabbed kale's head and twisted snapping his neck in what had to be the most gruesome manner feasible before plunging his fist into his chest for the first time hugo grimaced what's wrong with your heart he asked before retracting his hand revealing several burn marks kale twisted his head back into place before shooting hugo a bloody grin i couldn't tell you buddy They traded blows for a few more minutes pummeling each other into oblivion while kale was certainly more skilled and had more tools at his disposal hugo possessed more raw

power eventually it came to a standstill kale had suffered upwards of 20 fatal injuries forcing his regeneration abilities to brink hugo was bleeding all over and had about six bone fractures an eye gouged out and an ear ripped off You're pretty [ __ ] annoying aren't you kale rasp raspberry hugo bent over coughing up a mouthful of blood likewise in the meantime the confrontation had drawn an audience coming in from an intersecting corridor was infernal gladiator six foot seven two hundred centimeters 285 pounds 129 kilograms he was a high hurricane imagine an extremely buff zombie

that Was perpetually burning clad in ancient gladiator armor that was him in one of his hands he gripped a gigantic flaming sword and in the other he had two leashes both holding respective voids at the neck crawling at his feet like dogs straight from hell one was the freak the 6'10 centimeters 253 pounds 115 kilograms a slouching humanoid monster with Strange flickering eyes and a grin that wrapped around its entire head the other was the humanish centipede six foot four 193 centimeters standing height 372 pounds 169 kilograms a centipede-like creature that had a vaguely human

face covered in six eyes with an iron muzzle obscuring the mouth area it crawled on ten Colossal veiny arms they were both mid-tornado tier not incredibly powerful they were merely simple aggressive beasts that possess nothing but primal bloodlust and strength that was comparable to three wild bears put together for that reason they were easily converted into disposable weapons by the much stronger and more intelligent gladiator [ __ ] hell kale said upon seeing the Trio that's [ __ ] disgusting bloody abominations hugo said nothing but creatures that stain this earth they both looked at each

other and nodded an explicit sense of mutual understanding between them i suppose that a few of the voids teaming up should have been inevitable oh boy this is heating up i said turning towards sandu He didn't respond at first instead looking as if he was trying to focus on something that wasn't the screen what the hell's the matter i asked him i think i i think there might be somebody else in here don't turn around just keep watching pretend like you didn't hear it he replied hardly above a whisper it's not like i had to

pretend hear what i thought to myself Nevertheless i had never seen sand do more serious i turned my attention back toward the monitor while forcing my ears to be alert about 10 seconds later i heard it it was soft for sure i wasn't surprised that i hadn't noticed it up until that point somewhere in the darkness behind us somebody was definitely trying to contain a giggle Just ignore it it was easier said than done and honestly was it even a good idea in my head i ran through a list of potential voids that could have

been lurking behind us of course none of them were really ideal especially not the rowdy clown whose laugh sounded hauntingly similar to the one we were hearing behind us and then we heard it again louder this Time i muttered a barely audible [ __ ] in response realistically if it did turn out to be one of the voids putting up some kind of resistance would have been pointless anyway we were as good as done for with that logic in mind i turned my attention back to the monitors hoping that whatever the hell was behind us

would stay put for a bit longer In the meantime hugo and kale were about to fight the gladiator in his minions hey englishman kale said you regenerate quickly hugo's side stretching his neck out first of all do not call me that it's rather crass and no not much faster than the average man but no matter god has ordained me as a holy commission he won't let me die until i fulfilled my Duty carol just laughed you're a real piece of work let's see if your god helps us make it out of this you two aren't

who i'm looking for the gladiator bellowed before releasing both leashes the freak ran about six steps before having its face caved in and neck subsequently snapped by hugo in the meantime the centipede began Crawling towards kale who the [ __ ] created this thing he asked shuddering slightly the centipede lifted itself up swiping two of its arms at the visibly disturbed vampire [ __ ] don't touch me he shouted before kicking its face removing its muzzle in the process he regretted that decision instantly the centipede had four or five rows of spike-like teeth With a

horde of flesh-covered tentacles squirming out of its mouth one of them grabbed kale by the leg dragging him down damn it he shouted attempting to score him out of the appendage's grasp nevertheless hugo came to the rescue turning the centipede's head into mush with one vicious stomp he shot kale a cold glaze take his name in vain again and our temporary alliance is over Kale shook the tentacle remnants off of his leg his face still utterly disgusted yeah yeah [ __ ] holy [ __ ] [ __ ] that is nasty and then they both

stared at the gladiator who was gringing something malicious congratulations of being my combat slaves yeah i'd rather [ __ ] die cale responded i submit myself to god and god only Disease like you shall perish at his will hugo added the gladiator drew his smoldering sword which must have been the size of a person [Music] he roared the two rushed him simultaneously attempting to bury the burning menace with a flurry of quick strikes but that wasn't the best idea they couldn't even touch the gladiator Without suffering from burns themselves kale sighed some [ __ ]

just had to dig this [ __ ] up didn't they the gladiator stepped forward unleashing a big swing that singed the few hairs off of hugo's head he shouted before sending a hard cross at the gladiator shattering his chest plate armor in the process oh you're pretty strong there brit we might just win this one kell grind like i said god will give me Enough strength to overcome these trials hugo moved toward the gladiator with seemingly unwavering resolve his eyes shining a bright crimson his face was wrought with such intense stoic determination that i nearly

forgot that his ultimate goal was to commit global genocide and began cheering him on the gladiator sneered at the challenge swinging his blade once again this time fugo deflected it with an elbow cracking the metal while doing so He followed up by directing a flying hook kick at the gladiator's jaw managing to rip it off completely kale followed by biting into the gladiator's shoulder and tearing a large chunk off burning most of his face in the process he said spitting out the charred undead flesh not my cup of tea are you all right hugo asked

staring at his scorched face yeah it should heal up in no time However the gladiator was relentless letting out a frenzied roar before bolting towards kale he managed to dodge most of the gladiators blows only taking the full brunt of his last punch still that one blow was enough to form a deep fleshy crater in his torso while also sending him flying into the steel rail causing it to bend the [ __ ] kale stammered out staring down at the Unsightly wound nope that's not good hugo exhaled this situation has become bothersome he went back

after the gladiator sending a ruthless barrage of strikes his way there was an evident skill gap between the two voids with hugo landing about 90 of his attacks on the other hand the gladiator only managed to land three or four clean hits of his own nevertheless each of them dealt far more damage than Any of hugo's after about a minute of fighting hugo's left arm was completely mangled his right rib cage had been shattered and the entire right side of his face was burnt the gladiator had also taken a fair amount of damage but not

nearly enough to even slow him down kale groaned as he attempted to insert himself back into the fight but that task wasn't an easy one He could barely move with his torso just about completely destroyed i suppose this must be my final trial hugo said somewhat solemnly what the hell are you talking about kale asked still groaning and then for the first time since we began watching hugo smiled god using his good arm hugo removed the upper section of his robe revealing a pale mutilated scar-ridden body beneath He muttered another prayer before looking up at

the ceiling tears now swelling up in his eyes thank you he muttered along with his eyes the scars on his body began glowing in deep red [Music] the gladiator thundered before swinging his blade at hugo's neck i don't think i managed to catch exactly what happened next However i was certain that i was about to see a head rolling the gladiator's blade shattered into what looked like a million pieces at first i didn't even notice the gaping hole in the glide eater's chest the gladiator was interrupted by his neck being brutally cranked to the side

as the flaming behemoth dropped so did hugo by then kale had regenerated to the point of being able to walk he stumbled over to The near comatose bishop what the [ __ ] was that he asked half grinning i detached myself from my earthly limitations an egregious sin but i needed to fulfill my holy mission well [ __ ] that's pretty cool i guess not your psycho mission but the whole detachment thing he held out his hand in an attempt to help hugo get up however hugo shook his head in response This is as far

as i go not something i can recover from i only have judgment to face now oh shut the [ __ ] up carol said picking up hugo's limp body and lumbering it over his shoulder we'll find you some painkillers and you'll be back on your feet in no time why would you help me you go asked you understand what i'm after don't you my ideals well i don't think i could Have handled the gladiator on my own so i guess i owe you you crazy [ __ ] he looked over at hugo and grinned and

who knows maybe you'll learn something yeah there's a lot of scum in the world but there's also a lot of beauty we don't have to destroy it all right hugo passed out before he could finish the thought still carrying him over his shoulder kale took off running down another Corridor i did a quick sweep of the other monitors satan bought had taken out two more of the lower tier voids while morgie was engaged with a high hurricane void named the mechanic six foot five 196 centimeters 270 pounds 122 kilograms like the name suggested he was

a very large burly man in a mechanic's outfit that enjoyed obliterating skulls with blunt tools it's real Ruthless guy on another monitor the undead nazi had just finished slicing the [ __ ] out of the devil nurse who was a mid-tsunami so that's 12 down i thought 20 left the [ __ ] show wasn't even anywhere near done check it out sandhu said there's still four voids who haven't escaped yet sure enough he was right first off there was the titan 15 feet 7 inches 475 centimeters 1 438 pounds 652 kilograms a colossal entity with

destructive capabilities that were not impossible to deal with it was a humanoid with a immensely muscular frame further accentuated by the fact that there wasn't an ounce of fat on his entire body it's harder than steel skin was reddish and cracked all over with a road map of razor-like veins bulging at every square inch And then there was the face it had six sets of glowing blue eyes and a mouth full of fangs that exposed gums that were caustic to the touch his holding cell if you could even call it that was a bit more

fortified than the rest i'm under exaggerating of course it was fortified to goddamn hell no electronic locks connected to a central system either which is probably what caused the breach To begin with good thing too he was a low asteroid the next one up was the warden eight foot seven 261 centimeters 435 pounds 197 kilograms ironically enough this guy apparently used to run a prison of his own what kind of prison that might be was beyond me he had pale white skin shadow like eyes long slicked back silver hair his trench coat was long and

perpetually bloody Sweeping the floor as he walked i've heard stories about the guy supposedly he killed upwards of 700 prisoners during a breach at his prison managing to come out unscathed from a devastating explosion afterwards he was as dangerous as a void could get without being considered asteroid tear being a high hurricane funny enough his cell was wide open with guard bodies and destroyed mech suits littering the space But instead of getting up and walking out he simply sat expression devoid of anything at all like it usually was obviously he was up to nothing good

the next one was quite the doozy the strongest void in the entire chasm in fact he went by a simple moniker the calamity of earth or just the calamity for short its gender was unknown its height and weight unknown Appearance unknown to everyone except the top officials overseeing this entire [ __ ] operation pal we don't even know where it was kept the only thing we had to monitor was this simple panel containing three lights green safe still contained yellow breakout in progress evacuate immediately and red breached too [ __ ] late what did we

know about this thing Nothing say for the fact that a breach would most likely result in a global catastrophe of course it was a high asteroid the only high asteroid in fact and then there was the last still captive void but unlike the three overpowered monsters i've already talked about he was a lot different the kid is five foot six 168 centimeters 142 pounds 68 kilograms as his name implies the kid was just that a kid from his appearance he couldn't have been much older than 16 or 17 at most the only thing we knew

about him was that he apparently had extraordinary undisclosed abilities abilities he used to slaughter his entire village back in kerala india but who the hell knows what actually happened to me and nearly every other Guard he just seemed like your average and meek teenager in fact we rarely ever exerted caution around him unlike the rest of the voids in here he just did as he was told always with this incredibly sullen expression on his face i suppose that i can't blame him given the circumstances we didn't even bother putting a threat level on him Nevertheless

we were instructed to keep him there there's a lot of stuff going on here in the chasm that us guards don't quite understand i make no reservations about that i know for a goddamn fact that not everything we're doing here is saintly work do a lot of voids in here deserve to be locked up not even they deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth i never understood why we bothered holding the more malicious ones Using taxpayer money just to keep them alive and then there were the ones who i wasn't quite sure

belonged here at all did they even do anything wrong who knows but one thing was for sure they were different exceptional i guess the subjects of state curiosity i always tried suppressing these thoughts i mean who the hell was i just some random [ __ ] guard not some arbiter of morality still [ __ ] it this isn't the time all right so Let's see what happened next i turned to face a random monitor trying to take my mind off of the kid i caught what appeared to be the middle of a fight with the

two combatants being jack the ripper six foot one 185 centimeters 170 pounds 77 kilograms the infamous serial killer apparently he'd performed some arcane ritual while on death's door that granted him an extended lifespan and Superhuman strength in exchange for what was left of his already dwindling humanity he hardly resembled a human when we caught him with a mouth full of sharp rotting teeth eyes sunken beyond reason and a face riddled with cuts burns and various infections it was quite the sore sight to behold at that moment he was once again at death's door the Person

who put him there bella voclain aka the bloody painter 5'5 165 centimeters 122 pounds 55 kilograms despite looking more or less like a normal woman she was a brutal assassin that wasn't too concerned with the aftermath of her job after killing her target she painted a bloody picture on the walls sometimes she'd supplement her art with a few organs She wasn't incredibly strong but that didn't matter all too much she had this obscure ability where she could summon blades out of thin air at the tips of her fingers and then used some esper-like ability to

shoot them off in rapid succession almost at a machine gun like rate of fire she had no problems reducing her targets to mincemeat the ones she really disliked that is when we finally captured her She maintained that she only killed the ones who really deserved it however any chance of appeal not that there was a chance to begin with was shattered when she punctured the throats of three guards she still claimed that it was an accident to this day do i believe her well it's about 50 50 with me like i said she had jack

on the ropes with what must have been over 100 blades Planted firmly within the killer's body including both of his eyes still he had yet to give up as he swung wirehead's bat he must have picked it up blindly and wildly around him bella wasn't unscathed herself it looked as if she'd taken a couple of pretty bad hits to her rib cage and thigh in addition to that she had a gnarly bite mark on her hand nevertheless she smiled as she pointed Her fingers like a pistol at the frenzied jack prophet that unfair she said

before blasting the killer to shreds finally ending his grim legacy when she was done with that she let out a loud sigh clutching her ribs and wincing in pain unlike most of the other voids she wasn't capable of taking too much punishment after walking for a bit she came across lose while still badly Mangled from his confrontation with wirehead and he was walking again i didn't even know that he could regenerate that quickly the two stared at each other for about half a minute before bella stuck out her hand and smiled it was a risk

for sure but while lose didn't reciprocate the smile he cooperated accepting the handshake without electrocuting her another team up and one that i wouldn't Necessarily have expected i did another quick sweep of the monitors morgy had taken out the mechanic although he was limping now and his next fight wasn't going to be an easy one he was a few steps from coming across satan bought in the meantime and funny enough the undead nazi was about to square off with the sadistic soviet six foot two 187 centimeters 215 pounds 98 kilograms low earthquake tier instead of

being zombified like the nazi he was more mechanical more specifically he was about 60 percent robotic with his human bed slowly beginning to rot away the surgeon was engaged in a bloody duel with spider-man six foot nine 206 centimeters 215 pounds 102 kilograms unlike peter parker this guy was basically just a large tarantula With human skin and a half human head kale and hugo were in the medical center with the former tending to the ladder's wounds i thought about everything for a second trying to run the numbers through my head there were four more voids

that had definitely escaped that i hadn't seen yet on any of the monitors but i was only really concerned about two of them You see within the chasm there were four asteroid tier voids in total two of them were still contained the problem was rather obvious beyond that there were now 14 voids dead four who still haven't joined the fight 14 currently active all four asteroids still in play three high earthquakes as well tfvnh likely on their way holy [ __ ] i thought to myself the real fight hasn't even started yet A bout of

sudden ruckus laughter nearly gave me a heart attack i looked at sandu but his face was dead serious that meant [ __ ] with everything that was going on i completely forgot about the elephant in the room but sure enough they were finally ready to reveal themselves as footsteps began emanating from the darkness behind us i braced myself for whatever horrific entity we were surely About to encounter but instead of that it was an unfamiliar guy that looked to be in his mid-20s with messy dirty blob hair dressed in a hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts

he was probably about 5 10 130 pounds soaking wet what the hell sandu said upon seeing him the man continued laughing as he strolled towards us oh man he blurted out in between Chuckles there's [ __ ] in both your pants right now isn't there don't lie to me what well the joke's gone on long enough who the [ __ ] are you sandu asked sounding somewhat agitated the man put his arms up in an ostensibly defensive manner relax i'm just an observer here but his bloodshot eyes seemed to bulge out as they wandered over

to the monitors it looks like the preliminaries are over Time for the good stuff [Music] so [Music] i'm so sorry i forgot to introduce myself the man stepped towards us with a gaze that i can only describe as volatile perhaps in the moment he had no ill intent but there were volcanoes behind his eyes volcanoes that looked ready to erupt At any damn point for that reason i found myself slowly backing away but not sandhu for whatever reason he stood his ground facing the strange man without reservation i suppose it also helped that he was

6'4 with a considerably larger frame the name's adrian nyquist he said his voice nearly shaking with some kind of obscure excitement he held out his hand but neither of us Bothered with the niceties of the introduction he sighed what is it me he lifted his shirt collar and taking a whiff oh he got a shower more adrian and then he started laughing again but can you blame me i've been busy who the [ __ ] are you sandu insisted and don't just tell us your name again okay adrian said smirking big guy scary stuff really

would you bench three Plates in a bit sandu opened his mouth again but was interrupted it's fine though i'll go ahead and explain myself i mean the whole situation is kind of weird yeah i responded just kind of adrian sat down on the floor and let out a big puff of air i don't really want to go too in-depth here i don't enjoy talking about myself so let me just drop the bomb on you First i caused the breach i nearly swallowed my tongue what what the [ __ ] do you mean i meant what

i said i let all the prisoners out but what how i stammered out he tilted his head back and groaned before pretending to type on an invisible keyboard just a little hacking man nothing crazy and they say you'll never use the stuff you learn in school in real life Hacking i responded in disbelief but why well that's where it does get a little crazy now have you ever hopped dimensions have i ever [ __ ] what alright i see you're uninitiated with the concept well unlike hacking some corny lock system the logistics there really do

get complicated i'll admit that i don't 100 understand it myself but i understand just enough to have some Fun i was at a complete loss i'm a jumper that's what they call us he chuckled somewhat goofy still a novice but at least i'm out there doing it living life you know anyway the multiverse is massive obviously a lot of crazy worlds out there and just waiting to be explored but he paused i made a mistake last month You see i was watching some brutal big stakes fighting tournament called the evisceration championship on a planet called

hellscape it's a real [ __ ] up place but drugs and laws they're mostly unenforced there so you know it's all right i guess anyway i'm up in the stands 12th row just blitzed out of my [ __ ] mind on astro coke it's like regular coke if regular coke Was actually good he blew his nose into a disgusting handkerchief but sometimes you make bad decisions when you're juiced i guess school taught us something else uh it's a long story short i made a deal with some [ __ ] sketchy intergalactic gang leader named bones

iv that i'd provide him a fighter that would guarantee him a win for the Next tournament but obviously i was just talking [ __ ] not sure why the guy believed me an astro cokehead of all people he burst out laughing again i'll never understand the rich okay i responded barely comprehending what i had just been told assuming that what you just said is all true that you're not completely [ __ ] bonkers why don't you just tell the guy you Don't have a fighter well adrian made a whoopsy gesture with his hands the guy

paid up front a metric [ __ ] ton of intergalactic currency and about 22 kilograms and 50 pounds of astro coke well then just go and give them back all right mr self-control teach me your [ __ ] secrets look i've blown all the money i still have a few kilos of coke though For um a rainy day i'm not sharing by the way so what the hell this whole thing some [ __ ] up tournament to you you're just gonna drag the last void standing to fight in these evisceration matches well it's less of

a tournament and more of a haphazard free-for-all i'm no logistics expert after all i didn't know what the hell i was supposed to say to the guy If you're behind the breach then you're responsible for the deaths of hundreds of guards hundreds of good men sandu coughed most of them good men adrian rolled his eyes yeah okay real lost huh i'm just trying to live my life here man you're insane look did that comment get us anywhere you feel better now after stating the obvious no reply from sandu Adrian's side look can we just enjoy

the show now what's done is he was interrupted by sandu trying to tackle him to the ground the man did know jujitsu but no luck he couldn't even get adrian to budge i saw the veins in his forehead bulging as he apparently exerted all of his strength trying to subdue the strange lanky man this [ __ ] he said through gritted teeth this guy's strong Adrian simply pulled out a pack of cigarettes looking completely unbothered you know i've taken a lot of strange drugs from a lot of different dimensions one of them was bound to

be a steroid also he began grinning like a maniac i'm no stranger to training wouldn't survive out there if i was weak like you guys he picked up sandu by the caller and gently tossed him back given the circumstances i'll forgive That you just tried to attack me now why don't we just sit tight and watch and i held up a hand the one last question if you will adrian rolled his eyes and groaned like a child come on we're missing the good [ __ ] but fine hurry up the last void standing they're bound

to be pretty strong right adrian nodded stronger than you well no [ __ ] i'm not trying to grab some chump Okay so how the hell are you gonna convince them to come with you these prisoners aren't exactly reasonable adrian stared at me with just about the stupidest look on his face for about 10 seconds well you know what they say he cracked his knuckles you just gotta live in the now you're an idiot would an idiot get this far the idiot had a good point if he really was the mastermind behind the breach Then

the guy had some wicked skills but at the same time his common sense was close to non-existent whatever i'll figure it out when the time comes he said in the meantime he shot us both a rather menacing glare let's enjoy the damn show i locked eyes briefly with sandu i understood why he was angry i was too however the situation was really beyond Helping we could only do as we were told while we'd been talking the nazi had defeated the soviet although he did suffer gruesome injuries from the bout a portion of his gas mask

had been shattered revealing a rotting jaw underneath in fact his entire body had been pummeled to near pulp as he struggled to limp along the rails adrian grunted ah great we missed the World war two rematch i hope you guys are happy with yourselves the guy really was like a child a really capable psychotic child in other news satan bought blew up morgie along with the entire corridor while the surgeon had made a surprise discovery after disemboweling the spider's abdomen it was filled with about 200 smaller Humanoid spiders that began swarming him it was hard

not to shudder at the site bella and lose looked like they were still trying to find a way out while kale and hugo had encountered the rowdy clown the seven foot eight 234 centimeters 177 pounds 80 kilograms rowdy really was something else his appearance didn't just make you fear clowns in the carnival he made you fear life itself an Impossibly tall skinny pale ghoul-like humanoid dressed in a bloody dirty 1960s clown costume with twitching twig like fingers and cracked red lips enveloping a mouth filled with sharp sticky black teeth then there was the fact that

he had no eyes and two thin bleeding slits for a nose i really do wonder what kind of god could have created such an entity But he wasn't terribly strong only being a mid tsunami rowdy spat a mouthful of dark gooey spit at kale dissolving the right side of his face kale muttered trying to wipe the ungodly substance away only to pull apart bits of his flesh and muscle in the process just nuke this [ __ ] place rowdy began cackling like the hellish fiend he was swinging a lead balloon attached to Barbed wire right

to the still injured hugo's head however kale managed to intercept at the last moment breaking his own hand in the process suddenly a pair of giant bat-like wings sprouted from his back he flew towards rowdy before drop kicking his head clean off that seems like something you should have used earlier hugo remarked nonchalantly you know i Would but doing so makes me feel pretty gross i decided to check back on the surgeon but he was gone oh [ __ ] i muttered as i began seeing black haze around me i felt a cold hand on

my shoulder followed by a high-pitched slimy voice that oozed its way into my ears you got me out of a real sticky situation there hesitantly i looked up at the surgeon's Cold dark gaze as he grinned like a maniac down at me and then his neck was twisted a full 360 degrees as he dropped adrian let out a big breath of air stretching out his knuckles yeah a guy broke the rules there's no running from a fight hey besides you he was weak wouldn't have stood a chance in the evisceration matches anyway Uh is he

dead i stammered out looking down at the limp surgeon uh yeah i shook my head in disbelief but we've put sniper bullets through his temple how did you adrian shot me a smug grin like i said y'all are just weak now keep watching things are getting interesting a few moments later the nazi came across the remnants of the spider and detached links Torching them to ashes without hesitation allowing me to breathe easier immediately after taking out the spider he crossed paths with the chattering man it's 5 foot 11 180 centimeters 145 pounds 66 kilograms some

mid earthquake tear as much as i hated sympathizing with nazis the guy couldn't seem to catch a break resembling a horribly slouched humanoid the chattering man was the kind of Creature that parents told their kids about and attempt to scare them into being good each and every one of his limbs were jagged and contorted covered by thin borderline translucent skin that was still inexplicably bulletproof his eyes were covered in a damp bloody dirty cloth while this long black matted hair swayed wildly as he twitched around and then there were his teeth they were Giant about

twice the size of a normal humans and coinciding with his name rapidly and constantly chattering like hell yielding one of the most disturbing sounds imaginable adrian slammed his fist on the table in excitement oh yes this is the match i've been waiting for the chattering man stared the nazi down his teeth rattling together like a frenzied demonic drum The nazi responded by abruptly engulfing him in a sea of flames however the chattering man simply walked through it completely unscathed i could see the nazi clinch his jaw in apparent frustration he drew his knife and rushed

in attempting to engage him up close the chatterer was surprisingly fast dodging each slice before biting down on the nazi's flamethrower tank the subsequent explosion flung them both Into the air destroying a good portion of the nazis back in the process on the other hand the chattering man only suffered a few cracked teeth holy hell i muttered truth be told i'd never actually seen the chattering man in action up until that point perhaps we'd been lowballing him on the threat scale the nazi let out a horse scream before rushing back towards his disturbing opponent He

managed to sink his blade into the shattering man's shoulder before being blindsided by a swipe to the face completely shattering what remained of his mask revealing his full zombified visage beneath the chattering man surged his head forward biting a large chunk of the nazi's face off causing spurts of dark green blood to explode everywhere he followed up by ripping an arm off Before savagely beating the undead soldier with his own appendage grabbing the knife that was still lodged inside the chattery man's shoulder carving a large gash that extended down his rib cage nevertheless his admittedly

impressive run was finally over not seeming to acknowledge the wound at all the chattering man plunged two bony fists into the nazi's chest before ripping his torso in half quite the gruesome display for sure but Adrian seemed to revel in it he let out a ruckus cheer for the victor what the [ __ ] is wrong with this guy i thought to myself tossing that aside it became apparent that things were beginning to come down to the wire kale and hugo had found themselves within the vicinity of the dancing guy his five foot seven 170

centimeters 155 pounds 71 kilograms he was an ordinary looking albeit Racially ambiguous man in his mid-20s with short light brown hair and a perpetual five o'clock shadow dressed in a plain white t-shirt and track pants he also wore a pair of unbranded earbuds connected to an mp3 player that never seemed to run out of battery and of course he never stopped dancing he was a mid-asteroid been the third strongest being in the entire chasm hell it's entirely possible That he was actually the strongest we've never seen him fight against the top two after all so

just how the hell was such an ostensibly innocuous man so dangerous who the hell knew like most of the prisoners he was truly beyond explanation if i had to classify him he'd 100 percent be chaotic neutral he had no concept of good or evil no sense of right or wrongs no goals and no ideals The guy just wanted to dance and he sure as hell was a menace while doing so yet he would never go out of his way to bother you you just had to stay out of his he could disintegrate people just by

touching them he simply danced through your body leaving nothing but shreds of flesh and blood behind and if you ever tried stopping him oh boy you see His eyes were always closed when he was dancing to the music funneling into his ears if that music ever stopped then he'd be forced to open them up and then all hell would break loose he'd go on a rampage until he got those earbuds back and nothing could take him down in the process that nothing for that reason it was better to leave him undisturbed allowing him to dance

to His heart's content for that reason his holding cell was the largest giving him plenty of room to do so fun fact he listens to many genres but his favorite is edm especially melodic trance and heart style but now he was out bad news for everyone and kale knew it [ __ ] he muttered we're not dealing with that why Hugo asked is he strong kale nodded more than you know then that's all the more reason why we need to eliminate him but before he can make the biggest mistake of his life kale scooped him

up and began running the other direction let's not do that oh yeah big boys are coming out adrian's abrupt shout nearly shattered my eardrums i glanced over to see which monitor he was looking at and then i understood his excitement Satan bot had come across his next opponent but it wasn't one he was going to have such an easy time with standing opposite of him on a walkway on the very top floor was long woo aka the mechanical menace six foot nine 205 centimeters 375 pounds 170 kilograms he was a mid asteroid right in between

the calamity and the dancing guy in terms of estimated strength he was actually a special case you see He was originally held in the chinese equivalent of a chasm known as the well however as a political favor a complicated exchange mind you the us allowed the prc to transfer wu over this was shortly after he'd killed 400 guards and nearly escaped entirely they just really didn't want to deal with him anymore he's also interesting in the sense that he wasn't born with any supernatural abilities or superhuman Powers his danger came from his brilliant but unhinged

mind and his obsession with the concept of transhumanism and being the change that shifts humanity into a new technological age his original progress driven ideals could have been deemed noble at some point but then he went off the deep end with power and decided to prove just how much better we could be once we'd fully integrated ourselves with technology And how did he decide to do that by trying to kill anybody and everybody he saw his power came from his suit which he'd apparently semi-fused with his own body it was comprised of a dark undefinable

metal that had so far proved to be unbreakable with it he had a vast arsenal of devastating overpowered weapons at its disposal machine guns shotguns explosives knives You name it both of the eyes on his helmet were also capable of firing rail gun blasts but his most powerful weapon was something he called the singularity blade that weapon was where the science ended and the [ __ ] up [ __ ] began being about five feet 152 centimeters long and glowing a deep ember the sword was an enigma I'm not sure how he made her what

he did to obtain it but it sure as hell wasn't the result of any kind of engineering anytime he swung it a sharp ear splitting roar could be heard from everywhere and nowhere at once and then from the tip of the blade some kind of ghost-like serpent-esque entity would emerge utterly annihilating anything in the area with its flames Fangs and claws you could only see it for about a second and most guards were under the impression that it didn't even exist but it does and it's haunting they're gonna destroy this place sandhu said adrian pulled

an old looking pack of peanuts from his back pocket stuffing a handful in his mouth oh he got that right he shouted spitting crumbs everywhere wu took the first offensive Unleashing a typhoon of bullets from a chain gun that jutted out from his chest satan bought managed to dodge every shot closing the distance between them in the process both of their movements were incredibly hard to follow of course once he got close he attempted to strike wu with his tail only to have it blocked by a large shield that abruptly materialized from his forearm wu

attempted to slice the tail off with A large axe but satan bought managed to evade the blow at the last second i suddenly understood why he was so dangerous unlike satan bot whose weapons were already fixed on its body blue's suit was capable of adapting to any situation morphing its robotic appendages into whatever weapon was best suited to countering his opponent jesus christ i muttered at the realization this guy's a [ __ ] monster Even though satan bought and managed to dodge that strike the next one would prove more difficult to evade in a borderline

flashlight movement wu threw a muay thai kick at satan bot's side piercing it with a spike that protruded from the tip of his foot he finished the combo by transforming his fists into a tool comparable in appearance to a meat grinder drilling into satan bot's shoulder Tearing its arm off in the process phage ring groaned and here i thought the devil robot was going to put up more of a fight but he spoke too soon after taking the hit satan bot was already on the counter whipping his tail around to strike the side of wu's

head wu recoiled slightly still managing to destroy one of satan bot's knees with the railgun blast as he staggered he was about to finish the job when a Large cannon materialized from satan bot's torso a hidden last stand weapon i suppose from the barrel it fired out an immense blast of purple energy that wu barely had time to dodge as it scorched the side of his helmet it blew a gigantic [ __ ] hole in the fortified ceiling causing sunlight to leak in and keep in mind we're about 100 feet 30 meters underground But wu

didn't give satan blot any more time to reveal any further tricks blasting his body to bits in a brutal spray from an automatic grenade launcher it seemed as if adrian was about to pass out from excitement that's my boy he shouted [ __ ] bones we're gonna win this whole tournament ourselves what i hadn't noticed was bella and luz watching the whole encounter from behind cover bella's eyes lit upon seeing the hole a Rather convenient escape route she ran out from her hiding spot before leaping an extraordinary distance in the air right towards freedom but

then out of nowhere a massive armored hand grabbed her by the neck from the surface a gigantic man dressed in a streamlined mech suit of a model that i wasn't familiar with dropped down landing hard on the walkway he continued to nonchalantly strangle bell as he Surveyed the scene what a mess his booming voice reverberated through the monitors it's time to enforce justice if adrian was giddy before he was off the rails now oh they're here they're here they're finally here it's time for the semi-fucking finals who the hell is here i asked already somewhat

knowing the answer the alpha boys and girls the apex predators He responded task force nova hammer [Music] task force void nova hammer most of the guards i knew were just dying to see them in action i was the odd one out in that regard well they were here now and those guards were too dead to see them i'm sorry that was a really distasteful joke i guess adrian's presence has rubbed off on me just a tiny bit Speaking of adrian he was feverishly fumbling around in his pockets while keeping his eyes glued on the monitor

after a few moments he tossed a bag of white powder onto the table astro coke i asked he shook his head nah just the regular stuff the show's not at its climax yet you gotta pace yourself he snorted the whole mound in about half a minute yo he grunted wiping his nose off you fellas wanna hear a secret i don't Think we had a choice the task force uh void nova whatever how do you think the members get recruited i shrugged i don't know is it some kind of test i guess hey gaford nah they're

voids as well my mouth dropped as he went on to explain tfvnh was a constantly rotating team comprised of voids say for a few exceptions who were a Reasonable balance of both powerful insane in fact different countries occasionally lent their own voids to one another to use for their respective forces in exchange for their service the members would be allowed to live freely amongst society although they were monitored heavily while doing so you sure know a lot of confidential stuff sandhu said to adrian Just who the hell are you adrian sat back in a seat

ah nobody just a dabbler a jack-of-all-trades master of a good handful he sure was insufferable in any case i put my sights back on the monitor as bella struggled against the seemingly insurmountable foe she tried blasting him with a blade spray but before she could even raise her hand It was broke with a single firm grasp she spat the life draining from her breath as adrian would go on to tell us this particular tfvnh member was kente the guillotine sanders six six 197 centimeters 287 pounds 130 kilograms supposedly he was a real hard ass an

abnormally powerful man with an incredibly skewed and strict sense of justice To him the word nuance meant nothing rehabilitation was a joke second chances were an alien concept he was a man whose world view was utterly black and white to him the laws that landed himself in prison didn't constitute legitimate justice his ideals were the only ones that mattered across his sensibilities and you were a criminal and desperate need of execution He's got a pretty notorious reputation in these parts adrian continued he's captured at least seven of the voids in here himself nearly killed all

of them as well honestly i'm not rooting for him to win gonna be too hard to wrangle in afterwards just as bella looked about ready to pass out kente was blindsided by a sudden rush from luz well i guess blindsided wasn't really The right term kente blocked his strike with relative ease there's revenge customer numero uno the big guy wiped out loses entire village before dragging him into this place no wonder he's pissed for the first time luz had a fierce expression on his face he let out a rage-laden shriek before digging both of his

hands into the only exposed part of kente's body his neck lighting up the area and his Face with sparks nah boy that ain't gonna work adrian muttered grinning kente grunted seemingly taking the full brunt of the excessive shock without going down before grabbing both of lose's arms and slamming him into the floor he dropped bella in the process who immediately ran off with her life adrian clicked his tongue and disdain she's not even helping him out I guess that's lemon for you sandu and i just kind of glanced at each other awkwardly following the comment

unfortunately lose's rage just wasn't enough for him to fulfill his revenge while still on the ground kente stomped on his head crushing it like a watermelon quite the gruesome sight to behold afterwards he set his sight on wu who'd been observing the whole exchange finally Adrian said the strong are going at it for a moment wu and kente both seemed to acknowledge each other's power hesitating for just a moment and then in a flash they rushed at each other simultaneously both of their opening moves were kicks and catching each other's respective legs midair causing the

walkway beneath them to crack underneath the combined pressure on top of possessing overwhelming Strength they were both apparently skilled in martial arts as well a terrifying combination but wu possessed another more devastating aspect on top of it all actual weapons woo dropped his leg opting to blast kente with the flurry of shotgun rounds instead it was enough to send him flying backwards breaking apart the torso section of his suit And he didn't give him a second to breathe wu rushed forward immediately after grabbing kente's helmet and slamming it down on his knee shattering it completely

he attempted to decapitate him on the spot with a saw but kente caught the slash before it could land he looked up at wu his dark eyes twisted with rage he broke the saw in half before Delivering a powerful looking right cross to wu stomach that splintered a portion of a suit and sent him crashing into the rails he managed to crack the damn thing i thought astonished at the fact that meant it had a minimum kente's punches packed more stopping power than a m203 grenade oh he's getting serious adrian smiled you know what they

call his striking technique what The pulverizing fist he twists his knuckles at the last minute grinding flesh to a pulp with his strength it's like drilling through wet toilet paper that's only for regular people it doesn't work on big boys like wu the armor covering kente's knuckles had shattered upon impact he winced in pain as he cocked it back preparing to deliver another strike you are an impediment to justice he said Through gritted teeth prepare to be executed but before the two could clash again five more figures jumped down from the hole that satan bought

had created landing in succession around kente looks like the whole gang's arrived adrian said he began giving us a rundown of the other tfv h members first off there was ken the fugitive rio 6'2 188 centimeters 165 pounds 85 kilograms a korean american from brooklyn not a super malicious guy he kind of just did whatever the hell he wanted the problem is a lot of those things happen to be illegal and unethical let's be honest he was nonchalantly chewing tobacco as he leaned on the rails his ability was rather interesting even adrian had a hard

time explaining it physically speaking ken was more or less Average however he had the ability to summon portals from which obscure looking but terribly powerful entities would emerge and tear apart his opponents but at the end of the day all he really wanted to do was escape he hated being monitored next there was nassar the bloody twister el rafi five nine 174 centimeters 168 pounds 76 kilograms he was alone from the saudi Arabian government he possessed the ability to transform into a whirlwind comprised of glass-like material moving at speeds of upwards of 120 miles along

with being able to blast out deadly streams of shards at multiple targets at once it was quite the gruesome way to go he was also a real weird guy while nearly every other void assigned to tfvnh Had relatively clear ambitions his were an absolute mystery but he probably wasn't up to anything good his eyes were darting wildly around while a gigantic and mischievous looking grin was plastered across his face up next there was calista the beautiful demon taylor 511 181 centimeters 121 pounds 55 kilograms she was a former fashion model based in australia Her career

ended at the ripe age of 23 when she ended up suddenly murdering four of her fellow models along with the police force sent to detain her supposedly her abilities had been laden from birth gradually building up to a point where she was unable to keep it in any longer in her demon mode her mouth would fall abnormally a gape dark rings would form around her pupils and her body would be engulfed in cold Grey flames at that point she'd become intangible like a ghost and drift into her victims bodies causing them to bleed profusely from

every orifice but that only worked on humans for most voids she'd have to resort to physically brawling using her razor-like fingers her ambitions were fairly explicit she just wanted to kill everybody void or not it begged the question as to Why they'd even assign her to the force to begin with given the fact that she was so damn volatile whatever i'll never understand these people she was staring intently at nassar but without any real emotion behind her gaze it kind of just looked like she wanted to kill him for the sake of it continuing on

there was clint the normal guy Rockwell 6-1 185 centimeters 180 pounds 82 kilograms like nassar he was also a mystery supposedly he'd never been a void at all no other worldly powers his abilities just a regular albeit incapable guy adrian didn't know much about him only that he was a special case granted access to confidential information and a spot on tfvnh due to a recommendation from an unnamed Higher up in order to compensate for his lack of physical abilities he was granted an oversized power suit and dubbed the behemoth along with the god slang cannon

a heavy-duty automatic rifle that fired explosive rounds at about 600 rpm he stood still with a rather determined expression on his face as if he had his mindset on a regular concrete objective rounding out the bunch was the de facto Leader of the force jack the all-american barnes six feet 183 centimeters 200 pounds 91 kilograms like clint he wasn't a void either born in oklahoma and belonging to a prolific family he was an inexhaustibly skilled soldier turned government agent that managed to work his way up to the top with the help of some nepotism eventually

he was chosen as the integral subject of the project dubbed the Paragon trials in which government scientists would attempt to genetically engineer superhumans well he actually wasn't the first but that's what he was told for peace of mind in any case his trials ended up working out in the end i guess the eighth time really was the charm as a result he was basically superman and safe for the flight Genetic engineering hasn't advanced that far man look at those blonde curls adrian commented how the [ __ ] does he get his hair like that he

had an arrogant grin on his face as he strolled to the front of the pact it only took about five seconds of looking at him to reach the conclusion that he was probably a giant [ __ ] hey what's the rush kente let's not get too excited here jack said remember who's giving the Orders yeah your arbitrary orders mean nothing to me kente responded still staring vehemently at wu the only thing that matters is justice i could see a large vein bulge out on jack's forehead from the opposition okay he muttered before seemingly composing himself

let's finish the task at hand he directed his gates towards wu come on big guy you lost your chance at A fair fight when you decided to become a robot psycho while woo may have been a match for kente by himself taking on the entirety of tfvnh at once was a rather tall order i guess he knew this himself as he jumped over the rails landing on the lower floor i'm going after him jack said stepping forward the rest of you take out the riffraff They want the voids alive but i'm gonna be sorely disappointed

if you don't bring me back some [ __ ] minced meat that was one thing him and kente could agree on and remember he said turning back his expression was suddenly teeming with fury you're all scum [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] voids as well you try to escape try to [ __ ] with me you're gonna be begging for me to end your pathetic [ __ ] lives He pointed at ken you stay here make sure nobody tries escaping through the roof instead of acknowledging the order ken just spat his tobacco into

a plastic bottle hey you listening to me you [ __ ] [ __ ] remember when we beat you in the [ __ ] war hey isn't he korean clint muttered ken just raised an eyebrow and remarked dude i don't even know how to respond to That look whatever just [ __ ] listen to me alright ken grinned sarcastically and made a defensive gesture okay boss jack's forehead vein bulged out even more it was really starting to look pretty gross all right let's [ __ ] go then after finishing his motivational speech he jumped down

presumably going after wu say for ken The rest of tfbnh followed suit scattering throughout the chasm in search of the remaining voids the strong were finally about to converge on one bloody path as dark and weird and gruesome as the whole situation was i'd be lying if i said i wasn't at least a little bit excited to see what was about to transpire [Music] god i can't even keep my eyes still Adrian said beaming at the prospect of utter carnage ahead my eyes ended up drifting toward the dancing guy who was jubilantly performing the shuffle

along the second floor walkway soon enough he crossed paths with nassar who was grinning like a madman without much hesitation he stepped forward heading right towards the dancer well i guess it's over for him i said i had yet to hear about anybody being Able to inflict any kind of damage against the dancing guy the only thing we could really do was contain him and i severely doubted that things were going to be any different here i'm not so sure adrien responded the guy's a wild card i think he's just testing the waters here before

i knew it nassar had gotten dangerously close i held my breath in anticipation there's No way i thought and i was right nassar tried to strike the dancer but was blitzed immediately i could hardly comprehend what had even happened one moment he was in the midst of throwing a right cross and the next he was planted firmly within the concrete wall missing an arm and with a gaping hole in his chest holy [ __ ] he spurted out he looked towards the Dancer still inexplicably grinning damn you're strong what the hell is wrong with him

i wondered out loud nothing nothing at all adrian answered i think i've found a kindred spirit nassar pulled himself out of the crater he'd made displaying zero indication that he was in any kind of pain at all suddenly a flurry of glass engulfed his chest wound and missing arm Reverting them back to normal in a matter of seconds he stretched himself out before nodding happily at the dancer and walking off what the [ __ ] i thought i looked over at sandu wanting to see his own reaction but he was stone-like staring at only one

monitor in particular i followed his eyes and realized that for whatever reason He was focused on the kid who was still sitting in a cell check it out my thoughts were broken by adrian's outburst she's found her prey i looked at the monitor he was gesturing to seeing kale and hugo being hacked away at by calista that now who the hell is she kale shouted taking a sequence of gnarly gashes to the chest evil incarnate hugo answered although Still severely injured he was able to move around on his own look at her eyes she's being

controlled by the devil kalista drilled her hand forward impaling kale through the solar plexus he chopped at her arm before pushing her off [ __ ] hell he sighed this is back breaking work are you a match for her hugo asked kale shook his head exhausted as hell doubt it In that case hugo said standing up it seems i'll have to detach myself fully but what the hell are you talking about my constraints were only lifted halfway last time you almost died last time are you sure you're gonna make it out this time i'm not

planning to okay i'm chuckled sorry but i'm not gonna let you do that hugo's eyes began glowing a familiar crimson I've been ordained a holy mission i'll do whatever it takes he stared at the rapidly approaching calista anything to eliminate evil his scars began glowing again brighter than ever this time preparing to engulf the oncoming enemy but before they could clash kale stepped in between and tanked another series of slashes before kicking her back He grunted [ __ ] that hurt what are you doing hugo asked perplexed i told you this is yeah yeah you're

god given whatever the [ __ ] i don't know buddy you're psycho but for whatever reason i don't really want you to die chao gave him a bloody grin yeah it feels like we've been through a lot you know for a moment it seemed as the hugo was At a loss for words but then calista stood back up i see he said but what are we going to do about her kayla looked down inside and [ __ ] yeah that's the real question isn't it kale clenched his teeth as kalista began charging at them once

again that looks like lady luck's on their side today adrian said i realized what he meant when one of calista's hands were bitten straight off By the chattering man who'd strolled into the fray from an adjacent corridor well [ __ ] carol said watching the two suddenly preoccupied with each other looks like god is looking out for us he grinned at hugo who simply nodded back as the two got the [ __ ] out of dodge kalista and the chattering man began relentlessly butchering each other using her remaining hand she made two quick slashes in

succession tearing open his chest and forehead in Response the chatter bit a good portion of her shoulder off this went on for a few minutes until about half of kalista's body remained and about 90 of the chattering man's skin had been shredded off staining the entire area gory red but even demonic superhumans had their limit they both were beginning to slow down kalista twisted her bloody knife-like fingers pushing them into the Chattering man's mouth and through his throat while it was still lodged inside she threw her arm upwards splitting his head apart but at the

exact same time the chattering man swiped at her head twisting her neck clean off they both fell simultaneously as combatants who fought to the bloody end it was by far the most brutal bout i'd seen thus far Although there was certainly some fierce competition for that title i decided to check back on the voids that were still contained the titan was still in a cell the calamity's light also remained green and the kid hadn't stepped out either but then there was the warden clint had stepped into a cell donning the behemoth suit and all of

its destructive glory wearing it brought them roughly up to The same size still he was just an ordinary guy going up against an unfairly powerful monster unless he had some tricks up his sleeve this was about to get really messy really quick hey he said grinning at the warden through his fortified visor you've been chasing me all this time i thought i'd finally come to you instead it sounds like they have unfinished business adrian said that much was probably true still Staring down at the bloodstained floor the warden simply let out a deep lengthy sigh

when he finally looked up there was nothing in his pit-like eyes but sheer rage your death won't be quick his voice was much deeper than the marianas before clint could even get his guard up he was brutally blitzed by a sudden rush the warden was moving so fast he was effectively a blur Clint was launched backwards denting a metal wall the warden bolted at him again slashing off pieces of his suit with nothing but his fingers he launched his fist at clint's protective visor smashing it to bits and cutting up his face with bits of

stray glass in the process however clint managed to push him off before it could connect with the skull which would have been beyond fatal [ __ ] He spat attempting to unsheath the oversized blade at his side but he wasn't nearly quick enough the warden grabbed it by the edge before clint could even swing shattering it to find dust with nothing but a firm grasp then he grabbed the suit by the arm slamming clint hard into the ground causing him to spit out blood [ __ ] adrian muttered this is even hard for me to

watch The ward had proceeded to uncompromisingly wail away on top of him while clint barely managed to protect his face with the suit's wrist guards but even those were being chipped away at rather quickly just as there was about an inch of the suit left covering his arms he tilted his elbows towards the warden's neck firing off a small grenade that caused the overpowered void to stagger just a little The warden retreated touching the small wound that the explosion had left under his chin in turn clint struggled to pull himself up with his suit looking

like it had been run over by about a dozen freight trains his face was covered in blood and cuts while a blood vessel had popped in his right eye yet he shot the ward in a gory smirk okay maybe i deserved that but the comeback Starts now he opened a compartment on a suit's ribcage taking out something that resembled a small white crystal remember he asked before using it to cut himself on an exposed portion of his wrist the warren's face twisted into an unfathomable expression of fury he rushed forward again tackling clint into another

wall before ripping off a large chunk of the suit's torso And then he drilled his fist into clint's ribcage at that moment i was 100 sure that he was done for but to my downright surprise he managed to tank the punch grimacing only slightly what do you think he asked the warden still grinning we ran some experiments these shards are new and improved the warden let out an ear splitting shriek That i was surprised didn't deafen clint on the spot before picking him up and tossing him back into the cell he followed him in picking

his head up and bashing his temple about 10 times into the metal toilet seat before i ended up breaking from the force as a result one side of quint's face was beginning to resemble a bloody mush still i was surprised it hadn't been Reduced to pulp what the hell was that shard i thought to myself he also seemed to have picked up a bounce in his step evading another strike from the warden and crawling behind him at that point the behemoth had effectively been reduced to scrap metal clint dove towards the god slaying cannon which

had been knocked loose during their scuffle He scooped it up and began spraying at the warden's direction however he managed to evade just about every shot leaving large clouds of smoke and dust behind him as the devastating bullets reduced the place to rubble [ __ ] you're a tough customer clint groaned as he flipped a switch on the weapon [Music] the barrel of the weapon suddenly grew In size causing it to resemble an actual cannon as he pulled the trigger the monitor darkened for just a moment before a flash of deep red engulfed the area

and a high pitched staccato of wholly unfamiliar noises assaulted my senses [Music] i kept watching as the recoil from the strange blast pushed clint back into the wall as it completely annihilated the entire Side of the room the weapon itself was also destroyed in the process i guess the god slaying cannon got an upgrade because i sure as hell didn't know it could do that after the smoke cleared everything was silent for a few moments clint grinned letting out a big sigh of relief and then his face dropped a few seconds later as the rubble

began stirring the warden burst out with about half of His entire body now charred to hell he also had a wicked psychotic grin on his face it was the first time i'd ever seen him make any kind of overt expression at all i could have lived without it though you took everything from me he said walking ominously towards the nearly broken clint but i have to admit this has been a hell of a fun time Clint groaned reaching into his pant leg pocket he pulled out two syringes filled with black and blue liquids respectively come

on painkillers don't let me down he murdered before injecting the blue just as he was about to inject the black the warden clutched his hand crushing it along with the syringe more tricks he sneered his eyes wild is all hell i guess that's what the weak resort to clint simply laughed You're not so smart when you're angry huh it's in my blood now the warden released the grip revealing clint's bloody cut up and mangled hand however the black substance was already seeping into his wound what is that the war nast a gift from a good

friend also my last resort i didn't want to use it now but i guess i'm out of options in a matter of seconds Nearly all of clint's wounds had healed up along with that his muscles had become visibly tensed that's impossible the warden gritted his teeth that's one thing i've learned clint responded smiling wide as he stepped forward nothing's really impossible he stepped forward throwing a hard strike at the warden's chest sending him crashing back into the Rubble clinton looked down at his fist in surprise nice he grinned but he had no time to appreciate

his newfound power the warden rose back up like a wild animal in frenetic pursuit of its prey you're weak he boomed i'll never lose to you nature won't allow it clint chuckled you're right i am weak must suck for your ego huh the warden shrieked before charging back at clint Once there they engaged in a fiery exchange of blows rocking the place to its core while clint's physical attributes had been enhanced greatly by whatever serum he'd taken there was still an evident gap and strength between them with each of the warren's blows ostensibly packing more

force than his own however he did have one advantage he was clearly trained extensively in Hand-to-hand combat while the warden was an amateur at best he dodged a series of haymakers before countering with a flurry of jabs and kicks of his own at that point the warren's mannerisms had devolved into that of a feral creatures fueled solely by combative impulse yet i could see the same wicked grin creeping in throughout his wild rage he was undoubtedly enjoying the Adrenaline the warden picked clint up by the waist slamming him into the wall and then onto the

ground and then he mounted him unleashing a series of hammer fists that clint was forced to excruciatingly block with his forearms soon enough his skin was beginning to tear off from the punishment while on the ground clint managed to throw a kick that connected with the warden's hip However he hardly got any reaction out of him he suddenly wasn't strong enough instead the warden threw both his fists down onto clint's ribs i could hear them crack through the monitor he grimaced in pain but the warden didn't give him a moment to recuperate he drilled a

fist right into the side of his face a spurt of blood and a few teeth flew out of his mouth as his head was cranked to the side No he's got to be [ __ ] done for adrian commented i had to share the sentiment clint's efforts were more than admirable but he sure as hell put up a better fight than i could have ever hoped to but even with all his tools and tricks and skills he was still no match at least that's what i genuinely believed but the guy was just full of surprises

after taking another brutal strike to The shoulder clint managed to somehow escape out from underneath i couldn't even fathom what kind of move he pulled in order to do so and then in a series of moves that would make most prolific jiu jitsu practitioners light up with glee he engaged the warden in a vicious grappling match on the ground from his face i could tell that he was going far above and beyond his own limits It was down there where the warden's weakness really became clear as day he had no idea what to do after

an entire minute of relentless excruciating struggle from both combatants clinton managed to get the warden into a beautiful darce choke as the warden struggled feverishly to escape clint's face was wrought with sheer determination the warden changed his tactics opting to pound clint's already broken ribs in an Attempt to cause him to break his hold that was the bad decision it only allowed clint to get his hold even tighter despite all of the egregious punishment he'd taken clinton never relented soon enough the warren's movements began slowing and then he stopped altogether even then clint didn't release

his grip he held the warren's neck in place using all of his strength for about four minutes before finally letting go All while gasping and accumulated pain and exhaustion the guy really looked as if he was going to die on the spot but that didn't matter to him the fight was finished and an unlikely victor had emerged with a tired grin on his face he raised a shaky fist in victory before passing out himself well i'm [ __ ] touched adrian said it's like watching rocky all over again On another monitor bella made her way

back to the top floor back to the gaping exit wow what a pleasant surprise ken said standing in her way she seemed to share this prize as they stared at each other is this a joke she responded ken shrugged where else was i gonna see you are you going to let me go well if i did that then american boy would track me down kick my ass i gotta wait till he dies first then we Can go off into the sun together he smiled in the meantime you want to talk for a bit she sighed

what do you think is going on here well i don't know ken responded that's up to you you already know how i feel i tried to assassinate you you were contracted to assassinate me by a massive [ __ ] i'm sure it was nothing personal oh my God she sighed again besides i'm still alive maybe you really didn't want to kill me that's what i tell myself anyway you're insane if you think anything's going to happen between us you think i want to date anybody right now well i never wanted to either until i met

you a period of silence followed let's face it ken spoke up or bad people living bad lives Don't you get tired of it speak for yourself bella responded you know what kind of people i kill i'm not talking about that you want to escape don't you i don't belong in here a lot of people don't what are you getting at i'm pretty sure you know the kid yeah what about him ken exhaled look i forget about dating but don't you ever feel like doing something good for once like Doing something for somebody besides yourself bella

simply rolled her eyes in response i'm sorry that came out badly she stepped forward brushing past him i'm leaving now if you want to try and stop me then go ahead i'll just kick your ass again there was another pause before ken shook his head you know i'm not gonna do that good she began walking off i'm not tired of Anything by the way i'm in control of my own life and i kind of enjoy that she said without turning around she left ken looking somewhat melancholic but eventually he began smiling again of course you

do he took off abandoning his posts but i'm sure he hardly cared about that jeez well that was a downer adrian said let's get back to the exciting stuff hey grinned The final chips were starting to fall into place jack had finally found woo you a chinese secret weapon or something he asked approaching the mechanical menace who remained silent it doesn't matter he continued clenching his fists america's always on top look up there as well i turned to the monitor that adrian was gesturing towards watching as kente continued roaming the Corridors still clenching his teeth

in justice driven rage well actually no he wasn't roaming anymore he was walking towards somebody but at first i couldn't recognize who it was come at me you [ __ ] [ __ ] but i did recognize the voice it was send you his head was now resembling a glowing floating skull shrouded in a dark haze didn't didn't he die i asked Confused adrian chuckled don't you know anything about the race style one of its core proponents is the revival technique of course i thought how could i not know that you killed everyone at my

[ __ ] dojo since you screamed at the approaching kente you're dead kente bit down even harder cracking his own teeth i simply enacted justice and i waited for too long to finish the Job man how lucky were we to find this place adrian said crisp [ __ ] front row seats it took me a moment to process the implications of what he just said what the hell are you talking about i asked him in turn he looked at me like i was insane what do you mean didn't you build this place he shook his

head Well if you didn't then who my eyes wandered up to sendu whose attention was still firmly planted on the kid he's the one that led me into this room to begin with i do remember thinking it was rather strange but with everything that had been going on i forgot to question it further but now i couldn't avoid it what the hell is going on okay now i'm confused adrian said turning to sandhu what's going on here Who the hell are you yeah that's a good question i added also looking in his direction come on

man i've known the guy for years yet i couldn't begin to understand what he was planning here sandu took a while to respond and even then it was less than satisfying um it's complicated he finally spoke up by the way aren't you guys missing the Show i wasn't gonna force the guy to talk over the years i've learned that doing so only leads to disingenuous answers besides he was right jack was already rushing towards wu come on woo show me your kung fu [ __ ] i'll beat you down with good old american boxing he

really thinks americans invented boxing huh adrian muttered instead wu opted to blast him back with His hand shotgun jack was sent flying into a support beam and demolishing it in the process while he'd taken no ostensible damage there were now holes littered across the american flag printed on his chest plate that sure got him pretty rattled oh you [ __ ] up buddy he said a deranged smirk drawn across his face for the first time ever wu decided to speak What did you think was going to happen in an instant they charged at each other

given their respective power and speed their combined movements were hardly comprehensible but if i had to approximate the exchange it went something like this jack lands across to wu's helmet cracking it slightly wu attempts to stab jack with a large blade it breaks on his arm jack presses Forward throwing a flurry of jabs at wu's head most of them are blocked woo counters with a kick to his ribs and it hurts jack wu uses his railgun eyes burning the side of jack's cheek and then the gauntlet is unleashed wu lands a brutal combination with steel

studded knuckles wu shoves a grenade into jack's face wu pounds away at jack's ribs with a spiked bat Wu stabs jack through the shoulder with an elbow blade wu snaps one of jack's fingers off wu headbutts him wu picks him up and executes a hard takedown destroying the walkway they're standing on and causing them to fall to a lower floor and then wu begins strangling jack he's got the advantage with his weapons i said there's no way jack's turning it around adrian scoffed the us didn't funnel Billions into this guy for nothing he's got a

few tricks up his sleeve and oh boy did he ever jack was frenetic as he struggled to break out of wu's iron grip i [ __ ] you he screamed before his right fist began glowing red he let go of wu's wrist ramming his knuckles right into his throat instead the first significant strike i could see wu's armor splinter as he was launched backwards Forced to release his grip still exacerbated from the struggle jack pulled himself up his fist smouldering like hell at the same time wu was gasping for air himself he said holding his

fist up while grinning like a mad utterly unhinged suddenly his left fist also begun glowing the only difference being that it was blue oh it's about to get [ __ ] gnarly jack Said the stars in stripe style is immeasurable what followed was an exchange of blurs i could hear explosive bouts of clanking metal white smoke and flickering sparks intercut with flashes of red and blue from jack's fists two individuals at the pinnacle of power striking each other with everything they had after around an entire minute of hectic But incomprehensible fighting both men had sustained

sufficient damage wu's suit was covered in cracks and dents with his right forearm and left thigh now exposed there was also blood leaking through his fractured helmet on the other hand hardly an inch of jack's body was unscathed he was cut and swollen all over with one of his eyes stabbed out in his right shoulder graded down to the bone They stared each other down during their few seconds of fleeting recuperation and then they were right back at each other's throats wu attempted to blast jack in the face with his palm cannon but the american

managed to weave underneath the shot throwing both fists into wu's chest causing his suit to shatter completely at that particular spot his vitals were now exposed jack knew what kind of opportunity he'd Just created indicative by the wicked grin on his face in a matter of milliseconds jack pulled back one of his fists and struck woo directly without his armor protecting him that blow must have liquidized his insides in any case that's what i got from his reaction in an instant he collapsed in pain before being tossed over the rails onto an even lower floor

As he clutched his sides in excruciation on the ground jack let down and stomped on his helmet finally shattering that as well he'd accomplished something even the most sophisticated of weaponry would have had trouble doing in a desperation move wu pulled out a shotgun and begun spraying it upwards forcing jack to retreat feeling pain that must have be clipped the boundaries of unbearable he pulled Himself up finally revealing his cut-to-hell visage through his broken helmet you're just a regular person underneath that suit hey jack said panting how comical you were too before the experiment wu

responded jack scoffed is that what you think that i'm just like you a regular [ __ ] guy yes jack shook his head why does that matter Look i'll give you one thing you're strong hell even gave me a bit of a hard time but your attitude is [ __ ] [ __ ] woo had trouble responding to that sure we weren't born special jack continued but we've changed ourselves clawed our way up to the top he paused for a moment no you're not just a regular guy underneath that suit after all and i Wasn't

just another [ __ ] in the crowd before the experiment they just don't choose any random [ __ ] you know these are things we've accomplished ourselves things that nobody else could why don't you [ __ ] understand that another pause followed the silence was broken when we were reached over his shoulder pulling out a terribly large red orange sword The singularity blade jack bones he began you seem unintelligent on the surface but you've almost said something profound just now jack smirked at the pseudo compliment you're strong as well woo continued i'll show you my

respect by cutting you down with my ultimate weapon i'm touched jack responded i guess i'll have to show you the same courtesy he closed his eyes for a moment before Opening back up revealing nothing but white underneath his lids the red and blue radiating off his fists began extending up his forearms before quickly enveloping each side of his body entirely you should be honored i'm about to crush you with the full force of my american spirit two tremendously strong men both now at the pinnacle of their own power stood across from each other in full

Acknowledgement of each other's prowess an earth-shaking clash was about to ensue woo went first swinging the blade and releasing an obscure certain entity from his tips it rushed forward with toward speed latching its claws onto jack's arm and attempting to bite his head off jack responded by drilling his fist down the creature's throat it bit down puncturing his arms but shattering its Own teeth in the process jack and the creature fought brutally and relentlessly with the ladder seemingly growing in size as the battle endured however wu himself was standing still what's he doing why isn't

he going after him i thought out loud he can't adrian said look closely at him it took me a second but i understood the punch that wu had taken to the chest had Essentially put him out of commission in fact at that moment he was struggling to even stand up he was relying on the singularity creature to get the job done after some minutes the beast had grown to an ungodly size resembling some kind of colossal ghoul-like dragon it bit down on jack's arm once again taking it clean off this time jack shrieked in endurance

fueled pain head-butting one of the dragon's eyes Out in response it roared in pain as a world backwards utterly annihilating its surroundings it even took out a few cameras jack took the opportunity to reel in the frenetic beast jumping up on its head and bashing away despite having half of its face caved in the dragon still managed to fling him into the wall ramming what remained of its head into his torso moments later A wave of blood busted from jack's mouth before his lips curled back into a sadistic unrelenting grin he punched the creature's remaining

eyes out before getting on top of it and rendering the rest of its head into a ghoulie mush with nothing but his fists just like that the battle was over as the dragon died the blade shattered with it jack let down back in front of wu he Half chuckled and half groaned as he limped towards him lost an arm lost an eye it really put me through the gauntlet hey lou's expression was stoned for a while but it eventually turned into a grin no malice behind it he was simply acknowledging the interminable fighting spirit that

jack had put on display well looks like my fate's been sealed he said jack reciprocated the grin Breathing heavily through his teeth gotta say you weren't a pushover but in the end america always wins he finished wu off with a quick strike to the head as the mechanical menace dropped jack's body stopped glowing and he began staggering away his movement strained and delirious in any case he didn't make it too far he dropped about 10 paces from wu But even in death his grin didn't waver [ __ ] hell adrian said did they both have

to die well let's see if one of these other weirdos can make it out alive i'd been so invested that i nearly forgot about the other fight that was going on i turned my head watching as kente effortlessly strangled senju i killed your master with three strikes and you're even weaker than him But your effort is an insult i'm going [ __ ] kill kente struck the side of senju's jaw and slammed his neck onto the ground interrupting his sentence i guess we'll never know what he was about to say a real mystery there but

despite the overwhelming power gap senju kept rushing back at him only to get abruptly beat down every single time [ __ ] he shouted in frustration after taking another punch to the chest Stop evading justice kente said your time's done but then an unexplained figure arrives on the scene hugo rushed into the frame directing his own rush of blows at kente however he reacted to them in the same way a regular man would react to a mosquito bite hugo was subsequently knocked back without much explicit effort on kente's part His scars were glowing like hell

as he pulled himself back up his eyes pursed with piercing fury why is he so pissed off i thought to myself kale arrived moments later yelling after hugo what the hell are you doing i know you're crazy but what the [ __ ] he shouted he's the one that killed my mentor hugo said his voice shaking the last good man on this earth Destroyed by the same evils he attempted to help but he was foolish there can only be one response to the sin in this world this [ __ ] [ __ ] killed my

master as well since you said turning to hugo let's bury him hugo's side clearly not excited at his prospective ally man kale said staring up at kente this isn't fun anymore all three of them tried attacking at once No luck kente tanked each blow before striking each of them down in rapid succession he grabbed kale by the neck before tossing him at senju sending them both crashing into the wall [ __ ] cale yelled as he struggled to pull himself up yo priest what level of detachment are you at hugo exhaled 99 damn kale muttered

looking up at the Steadily but menacingly approaching kente so we're [ __ ] not necessarily i'm about 10 times stronger at 100 than i am at 99. i'm not sure the math checks out there cal said before taking another strike to the stomach no matter hugo said one of the biggest evils stands before us every measure must be taken you're gonna [ __ ] die kale uttered being kept on his toes by repeated blows from kente we are going to die regardless kente turned away from kale and turned toward hugo he squinted now i remember

you hugo threw a cross so hard it seemed to split the air molecules in its path despite managing to block it kente was still blasted backwards skidding to a stop he held his arms up which had been badly mangled from the Blow he sneered at hugo his eyes growing crazier with every second the past evil must be eliminated you're in no position to make that call hugo responded they bolted at each other the two traded blows with hugo slowly but surely overwhelming kente gail could only watch in awe sencho on the other hand yeah kick

his [ __ ] ass but the more damage that kente took The more wild he seemed to get hugo landed a one-two to his jaw and temple drawing blood from his head before finishing the combination by drilling a knee into his liver nearly causing kente to buckle on the spot why did you kill him hugo's bad at kente in between strikes he was the last chance the salvation that this disgusting world had now bruised bloodied and battered kente dropped to one knee Hugo stepped in for a finishing blow or what i thought was going to

be the finishing blow kente managed to catch the strike surprising just about everybody watching his forehead veins bulged as he looked up at hugo his face twisted in an inconceivable expression of demented wrath i killed him because he stood in the way of justice in a split second hugo was knocked Backwards having his chest completely caved in he wheezed out as he bent over trying to funnel air into his lungs he's stronger be careful kente picked him up and judo slammed him over the rail before he could get the sentence out i never cringed as

hard as i did while watching his spine get instantaneously bent into the worst possible shape hugo kale yelled charging at kente a valiant but fruitless effort He was picked up and brutally ragdolled into the wall and floors kente finished the ruthless display by slamming his back into the wall kale crumpled like a pancake with every bone in his body just about broken recovering from that was going to be a tall order [ __ ] he spurred it out unable to make another move suddenly senju was back on his own heavily injured and looking far less

Confident than he was before but we can't let him win sandu said his expression a combination of frightened and resolute oh you're not watching the kid anymore oh what a surprise adrian said i shook my head i mean what the hell are we supposed to do instead of answering my question he just brushed by me before abruptly sprinting out the door What the hell man i called after him no use he was already gone i fumbled around in place for a moment on one hand i really didn't want to go out there but on the

other he was my friend and as much as i wanted answers i also wanted to make sure he didn't do something he wasn't going to have the chance to regret after a few minutes of frenetic Contemplation i found myself chasing after him where the hell are you guys going i could hear adrian calling out from behind me at that point he was the least of my concerns chills ran down my spine as i traversed across the blood-stained halls decorated by the mangled corpses of my former guards it was a sight that i had experienced in

my nightmares before i'm sure just about Every guard had seeing it in real life was jarring to say the least it sure had been one hell of a day but the inevitable dusk finally seemed to be closing in standu what's going on my shouts were in vain as he pressed ahead traversing through the blood guts and gore left in the wake of the voids without a second glance i chased him for what must have been 15 Minutes before he halted to an abrupt stop what what are you i gasped in between breaths but then i

saw who we were standing in front of the kid he was still sitting tight in his cell his eyes remaining glued to the floor sandu just stood there for a moment and stared at him aj he finally muttered the kid Whose name was apparently aj shook his head i could see tears falling from his face as he did so no he choked out i can sandu smiled tears beginning to well up in his own eyes i know i said you wouldn't have to but he began i'm sorry i promised that i'd get you out before

i had no idea how but there's a Chance here we can't avoid it now aj looked up utter fear pervading his expression i can't face him sandu slowly approached him it's okay he said aj seemed to recoil at the seemingly innocuous statement it's okay sandu repeated kneeling in front of him your gift is your own your right to use aj continued shaking his head you remember What happened that wasn't your fault but it was his face was beginning to quiver sandu grabbed aj by the face looking him dead in the eyes you've been lied to

by bad people those same people are here with us right now the ones that killed the people you loved and trapped you in this place anybody your age with your ability would have made that mistake it's not your fault aj wiped a tear from His face if i let it out everybody's going to die sandu shook his head no you've been practicing and i've been watching better and better every day now it's time to be strong your father would have wanted that no he would have wanted you to face it head-on aj remained hesitant i'm

sorry but we're out of options here sandhu's tone Had gone more serious the man who killed your family wants to kill you as well i can't stop him nobody can it's all up to you what are you going to do despite still looking at the floor aj suddenly clenched a fist i'm not sure if it was my imagination or what but i could have sworn that there was a spike in the air pressure around us Some kind of intense overwhelming aura emanating from the kid's general vicinity or maybe i'd simply seen too much that day

soon enough aj was standing sandu looked both proud and utterly terrified he took a deep breath before turning to me it's a long story i'll tell you all about it later but what's about to happen he lowered his voice it's going to be Very dangerous you don't have to come with us just hang back then after all this is over we can all leave together it was a vague warning one that didn't fill me with the highest degree of confidence i could have told you myself that things were about to get dangerous that much was

obvious i'd been watching that danger unfold over the course of an Entire day but now i had a decision to make did i really want to be in the thick of it did it even matter truth be told i'd been feeling the prospect of death looming over me ever since the first alarm sounded out i didn't have too much time to think about it though before i knew it aj had taken off sprinting a furious beat and a step sandu hastily followed after Leaving me standing there with a million thoughts racing through my mind i

didn't want to be alone in that place and i sure as hell didn't want to hang out with adrian anymore so i followed them the kid was kind of running blindly so sandu had to direct him towards where senju was about to make his last stand against kente i was more or less certain that nothing but a gruesome scene would be waiting For us and i was right once we got there kale was still a pile of flesh and bones against the wall while hugo could do nothing but lie still his life undoubtedly hanging on

by a thread along with them senju was flattened against the floor well i'm fairly certain it was him it looked like somebody had been run over by a steamroller Kale and hugo looked both beyond sullen their faces wrought with bitter and painful defeat you guys come to finish the job kale asked us before letting out a short chuckle well nothing's stopping you uh no i stammered out are you guys alright right stupid question top notch pal never been better kale responded where'd he go sandhu spoke up The big psycho guy he took off he stretched

his neck out gesturing towards the walkway on the other side of us a guy didn't even look human when he turned buddy over there into a pancake muttering something about finishing the job and executing justice and what a clown thanks sandu muttered before turning to head off aj was also starting to look a bit antsy Something had certainly changed in his demeanor something dark wait hang on are you going after him aren't you guys like guards or something how's that gonna work out and that kid isn't he what's going on kale called after us well

it's a bit complicated i responded but i think it'll work out i wasn't so confident in reality Kale scoffed and chuckled right of course well it's not like i want you guys to lose he smirked go and kick his ass i smirked back and nodded but before you leave do me one favor is the priest still alive he hasn't said anything in a while but i think i saw him twitching a bit i looked over at hugo despite his dead Expression he was still blinking every now and then uh yeah i responded kale rested his

head on the wall and nodded okay good to know was all that he said after that short exchange we were off running to face the insurmountable wall known as kente while we were looking for him he was sure looking for us as well as we moved i tried to gauge what sandhu Was thinking it wasn't terribly clear from his expression but i could tell that his conviction in that moment was less than strong given what i knew i could have viewed the situation from a lot of possible angles many of which would have led to

sandu acting as a less than moral party but there was lost context here i knew the guy and unless he'd been acting all These years there was only one conclusion i could have reached for the sake of the kid this was something we had to do i never believed for a second that he was malicious in nature my thoughts were running too fast before i knew it we were standing right in front of kente his suit had been damaged pretty badly and he had dried blood caked all over Him although i doubted that most of

it was his own but besides one of his forearms he wasn't injured in the slightest meaning that taking him out was going to be a tall order but then again i had no idea what the kid was capable of either kente sneered as he walked toward us his bloodlust seemingly transferring into the physical atmosphere around us putting a dark sinking feeling in my gut But all of his attention was on the kid i found you he snarled sandu looked at aj and nodded aj it's time no response in fact the kid was frozen on the

spot his eyes enlarged in sheer terror i was afraid something like that was going to happen oh [ __ ] sandu muttered before shaking aj's shoulders come on he's coming towards us aj aj his voice was getting exponentially more desperate In reality this whole move was likely a big gamble nevertheless it was a gamble he was definitely aware of beforehand with their backs against the wall xandu stood firm in his promise to protect the kid he exhaled before shielding aj and getting himself ready for a valiant but futile stand against kente you think i won't

kill a guard if they stand in the way of justice Kente boomed sandu scoffed no i think you'll kill just about anybody you psycho an oversized vein bulged in kente's neck as he tensed his arm ready to deliver a head-shattering blow at that moment i was simply frozen i knew there was nothing i could do however as kente put one foot back in preparation for the strike a dark ghost-like hand wrapped itself Around his calf before pulling him down and dragging him around i looked over at the perpetrator a nightmare-inducing entity resembling a distorted gorilla

with bulky oversized arms it dragged kente around on the floor slamming him through a gauntlet of rails and pillars in the process the gorilla creature didn't have the upper hand for long though kente let out an unworldly shriek before chopping off One of the creature's arms and ramming his fist through its head as the entity fell limp some kind of portal opened up underneath it pulling it through from the shadows of an adjacent corridor ken stepped in hey you're not gonna make this easy for me aria buddy he said grinning i always knew you were

evil kente groud i just have to eliminate everybody here he was slowly But surely devolving into an overpowered primal rage-driven beast ken why are you sandu spoke up sounding reasonably confused ken just shrugged ah promises a promise remember more lost context just what did sandu been doing over the years look out sandu's warning had arrived at an opportune time kente had stepped forward Launching one of his colossal fists straight at ken's head lucky for him he managed to summon a creature to take the blow for him just in time he dove out of the way

of a follow-up strike seconds later this is gonna be annoying ken muttered he looked up at aj come on kid i know what you can do i i can't he muttered cowering down invisibly trembling with fear i'm gonna get killed we're gonna die if you don't I found myself shouting listen to sandu huh there's no other options here my outburst probably wasn't all too helpful but it was my own instinctual fear speaking for me during the split seconds where my attention wasn't trained on kente he'd gotten within inches of me before i knew it i

was feeling his iron grip around my right forearm i could feel my bones being crushed in an instant before i was tossed hard into The wall my vision faded for just a moment before all of the pain hit me at once if i was useless in the fight before i was entirely out of commission now i could hardly move as my body slid down the wall flopping onto the floor i spat out a wave of blood i could only watch now with the kids still being scared useless there was really only one person capable of

fighting ken opened up about 10 portals in a Circle around him his forearm veins pulsating like crazy while a stream of blood began flowing down from his hairline and his nose god i hate doing this all at once a petrifying roster of esoteric incomprehensible entities emerged from each one from what i saw there was a dark blue and human-sized eagle that seemed to be composed of ice some kind of colossal demonic samurai With a flaming sword a six-legged creature with large jagged blades jutting out from each corner of its body a zombified gunslinger seemingly left

over from the old west carrying giant revolvers made out of writhing gray flesh and a ghoulish humanoid with four horns five eyes six arms and a giant glowing green eyeball in his torso Among many others ken side upon seeing the unsightly creatures he'd summoned why couldn't i have just been telling kinetic or something he'd assembled a horde that would have made even the strongest man's knees tremble but kente was hardly human anymore he didn't hesitate for a second he darted forward in a flash pulverizing every one of the creatures that stepped up to face him

taking only a few small cuts and Insignificant strikes in the process that was until he got to the horn guy with the eye in his torso that one managed to catch kente's punch with one of his many hands evil creatures he snarled before throwing a cross with his other hand it was caught again while kente had run out of hands the creature still had four it landed a quad combo of devastating punches to kente's face and upper chest causing his head to snap back blood Spurting from his eyes and nose however his head came back

as quickly as it went drilling into the eye creature's temple and destroying two of its eyes they were both pissed now they synchronized primal wars before blasting each other with a series of catastrophic strikes neither of them bothered with any defense or any kind of strategy for that matter they were simply out to deal as much Damage as possible hitting each other with everything they had during the exchange i began noticing something strange about kente's appearance he was taking a metric ton of damage for sure but the difference didn't only stem from his wounds he

was changing his veins were beginning to squirm underneath his skin almost like trapped snakes trying to burst out On top of that he seemed to be getting bigger in fact he'd been getting bigger ever since he fought wu i just hadn't quite grasped until that point he towered over sandu whom he was only supposed to have two inches on now he was even dwarfing the eye creature who had been a comparable size to him mere minutes ago what is this guy i wondered out loud sandu had undoubtedly noticed it as well I could see his

eyes widening in terror at the site the creature lowered its head before rushing at kente horne first it rammed all four of them into his abdomen managing to dig each one of them an inch deep into his flesh kente's roars had also changed they'd lost any sense of humanity he was truly in the process of transitioning into a legitimate bona fide monster He began drifting away from conventional martial arts he stuck his fingers out thrusting two of them into the creature's eyes before gouging them out in a bloody slimy mess without giving an inch he

followed up by sinking his teeth into the creature's chest tearing out chunks of pulsating green flesh he finished the deadly combination by drilling his knee into the creature's torso eye taking it out while dissolving His own flesh and blood in the process as he began to collapse he grabbed the creature by the neck and took it down with him putting it into a brutal one-legged guillotine choke he exerted so much pressure that its head popped off completely after a few seconds ken was starting to look very worried with blood dripping from his nose he summoned

another portal in which a Humanoid squid creature emerged no use it was taken out by one swift swipe from kente who blitzed it from a one-legged crawl run hybrid oh was all that ken managed to get out before being picked up and slammed savagely into the floor that would have been the end for him as well had he not summoned another portal underneath his back at the last moment allowing himself to land on the soft Body of some kind of slime creature as opposed to the hard metal he rolled away hardly managing to dodge a

follow-up stomp that not only decimated the creature but the floor itself now wheezing and bloody all over ken looked at sandu his face twisted in fearful desperation no not at sandhu he was looking at the kid come on he muttered i know you can do it The kid's expression didn't waver no spark returning to his frightened eyes it's hopeless i thought to myself do your memories really flash before your eyes when you think you're about to die well some of them do the ones worth remembering an attempt to justify the way that you've lived the

decisions that you've made you come to one daunting realization You were there in the midst of the mystery known as life itself and now it was all about to fade as another tear began rolling down the kid's cheeks i could feel one rolling down my own ken sighed i know you're scared but we don't have any time here please sandu put his hand up stopping ken mid-sentence he had a stone-like expression on his face It's happening ken looked confused what i wasn't quite sure of the answer myself but i got the gist of it aj's

body was beginning to visibly vibrate or something to that effect it started out slow enough but seemed to intensify drastically with every passing second before long his body had become a dark formless stationary blur from within that blur two sharp burning Red eyes surfaced and then i could feel the floor begin to tremble around me [Music] something i couldn't utter out a single word upon encountering the incomprehensible pressure that had just filled the space around me the kid wasn't himself anymore i was starting to understand it wasn't his power that he was having a Hard

time trying to control it was something residing inside him as his metamorphosis continued he'd become only about a head shorter than kente his form was also fluid while remaining solid at the same time like a floating gaseous form that vaguely resembled a human afterwards his original dark gray color quickly began morphing into a blinding golden light after about five seconds his dynamic Body finally settled on a concrete form there was only one word i could really use to describe it a warrior tall and lean with thick flowing hair that extended down to his shoulders he

held a lance seemingly composed of sheer light along with the complementary shield he had armor on albeit minimally just chest and shoulder plating Along with a pair of knee-length shorts the potential origin of such an entity was lost on me the mere presence of it evoked a sense of awe danger and beauty all at once surprisingly kente began smiling at the sight of aj's transformed state a bloody ear-to-ear grin devoid of any humanity at all looks like the evils finally come out he bellowed before bolting at him aj's warrior four managed to counter all Of

kente's initial attacks before delivering a brutal sequence of his own he slashed kente across the stomach creating a deep dash before impaling him through the torso and smashing him through a metal side beam still i couldn't get too excited the whole situation seemed oddly familiar kente encounters an enemy initially more formidable than himself And gets beat down at first only to end up massacring them in the end regenerating nearly instantly while also getting bigger and stronger in the process we were going up against rapid evolution which was one of the worst powers you could possibly

hope for in an opponent in any case it seemed as if aj was intent on finishing the job early which was really the only option here he took his lance and swung it with an Inhuman speed slashing kente more times than i could possibly count it was a gruesome sight as blood gushed from every inch of his body staining the metal beneath him red aj went for another stab but this time kente managed to deflect the blow and close the distance between them got you he screamed he was wrong aj took his palm and rammed

it into Kente's neck causing him to spit out what looked like a gallon more of blood aj then took the butt end of his lance and drilled into the side of kente's cheek puncturing it all the way through i muttered at the gruesome sight of course sandu didn't seem too surprised he'd seen this before but at the end of the day the only thing that mattered was getting rid of kente right then and there Aj grabbed his lance and pulled it down creating a massive gash down kente's cheek down to his jaw ripping through his

gums and breaking his teeth in the process but even that wasn't enough kente howled like a maniac and managed to grab aj's neck ripping a good chunk of his flesh out aj reeled but was still able to thrust the lance straight through kente's torso once again Still not enough kente swiped at aj's head and twisting it around completely at that moment i was sure he was dead but sandu didn't seem all too worried yet another blinding flash of light burst from aj's body before he seemingly morphed again taking on a new form entirely this time

he resembled an archer atop an armored horse still with the golden oars surrounding Himself i remembered something each void had an official description assigned to it for database purposes most of them were a few paragraphs long say for aj's his was short and vague containing only one short phrase the warrior's spirit i never knew what to make of it before but i was starting to understand now aj directed a flurry of arrows at kente sticking him with about six of them However that form was also quickly obliterated as kente dragged him down from the horse

and stomped on his head like watermelon another flash of light this time i closed my eyes upon the death of one form he began cycling through others manifesting into various warriors from throughout history a hulking powerful viking a skilled relentless zulu warrior A fast unyielding samurai etc with each transformation he dealt kente more and more damage but that was the problem kente just kept getting stronger as a result and aj couldn't seem to finish the job after five cycles kente was bordering on the size of a house with his veins resembling steel pipes he picked

up another of aj's warrior forms by the neck and began taunting him I know evil i've seen it and i'll never lose to it using a single arm he lifted him up and slammed him into the ground years of destruction and rebirth forced evolution surviving the abyss that lies before death over and over and over again until enlightenment is forced onto you to the uninitiated ear that might have sounded like the ramblings of a madman but to me It yielded a daunting realization sandu recognized it as well i could see the horror in his eyes

throughout history humans have done too many cruel things to each other to possibly count and for what reason that list is unending but even among the dark sea of bloodshed warfare and torture there's one brutal practice that stands out from the rest The true origins of it are a mystery both in date and location some believe it was developed by the aztecs some by the spartans mongols ming dynasty romans nazi germany some even claimed that some modern military still made use of this practice the only thing that we know for sure is that it existed

and it sounded horrific i'm sure it goes by a lot of names but the one given to it by the Government is the evolution ritual in my opinion that name doesn't do its sheer brutality justice i'll try to paint a picture imagine an empty medium-sized concrete room devoid of any windows illuminated only by a few dim light bulbs above fill that room with about 25 to 50 men specifically selected due to their exceptional combat powers Fighters soldiers mercenaries etc now seal off all the exits and inform the subjects that only the last man standing will

be afforded the right to leave leave them to fight to the death conduct hundreds or however many of these death matches at once next divide the winners into smaller groups and repeat the process until only the last man among hundreds Or possibly thousands are left next seal those men off into a dark confined space for 50 days no food water or any kind of stimulus the ones that managed to survive all of this are the successes the conjecture went as follows if an individual's mind and body managed to endure such a torturous gauntlet they would

have eclipsed some kind of threshold undergone some type of rapid evolution These were the men with exceptional latent potential the ones who possess something more than conventional strength and willpower under such drastic circumstances their minds will have tapped into a reservoir of power beyond human physical and mental limitations i'm gleaming over some details of course but that's the gist of it sounded like bs science to me but hey what do i really know at this Point sandu and i learned about the existence of this ritual following an internal breach of information that was even classified

for us we also learned that some time after world war ii a unit of soldiers and intelligent officers came across the aftermath of one of these rituals in a large remote and decrepit building somewhere in the thar desert after the white house Received some kind of obscure message containing a pair of coordinates inside there were upwards of 1100 human skeletons all scattered throughout various rooms in the structure the strange part there was a set of small chambers at the center of the building where six emaciated horribly scarred men were shackled to the walls however while

certainly dead they hadn't Even begun decomposing yet well except for one that is one man was still alive this mysterious figure was dubbed the unkillable man to this day we have no idea what kind of organization conducted the ritual or who sent the coordinates and the biggest question why i'm getting off topic here though we also couldn't figure out who this mysterious unkillable man might be And although it was by no means definitive we now had a clue before aj could get another word out kente killed him again by this point i'd regained some movement

in my limbs which allowed me to crawl over to ken and sandu who was now certainly looking worried sandu how many transformations can the kid go through he just shook his head it looked as if He knew the answer but didn't want to say it i looked over watching as the kid who now became some kind of centurion tried desperately to put kente down now i'm not sure if the kid was getting weaker or if kente was just getting way too strong but the problem was obvious here at that point the kid was only delaying

the inevitable something else needed to happen soon or We were done for i know what happens when he gets pushed to his limits sandu spoke up what he's really scared of if that happens then he trailed off for a moment i don't want it to happen i thought this was gonna be enough i don't like the sound of that ken muttered kente killed the centurion by strangling it this time the kid transformed into a Hulking templar night i could see sandu visibly gulp that's it he said this is the form he takes before everything goes

to [ __ ] if kante kills this one then god i messed up at that point kente had become so durable that the kid's attacks hardly fazed him yet he didn't even attempt to stand down i suppose that was the so-called warrior spirit fighting even in the face of impossible Odds at the same time all we could really do was watch but before the two could engage in their penultimate clash we could hear whistling from just behind them everybody turned around at once seeing nassar casually strolling toward us wow when did you get so big

he said his eyes wide in awe have you become evil as well kante growled Nassar put his hands up in a defensive gesture i'm just here to have fun big guy what does that mean almost like an answer to his question we could hear a set of booming footsteps approaching from behind kente a colossal figure was barreling towards us the titan had arrived and from the way that nassar was bringing i can only assume that he was the one that released it As primal logic would dictate the titan went after the biggest guy in the

area kente who was now around the same size as the titan crouched into her defensive position he was cut short by an abrupt head but for such a big thing the titan was disturbingly fast their exchange was short but utterly brutal the titan slashed at kent's chest tearing a large gash through it kente strikes the titan's jaw Dislocating it the titan rips off kente's left trapezius muscle kente gouges all of the titan's eyes out the titan crushes kente's right hand while swinging blindly kente drills his fist into the titan's crotch area demolishing its goods in

a fit of blind rage the titan grabs kente's head and slams it into the wall planting it deep before dragging it Along and tearing it through the metal like butter kente grabs the titan's head from behind and drags it down hard causing the bones in its neck to snap piercing through its flesh i could have sworn kente had grown three feet from that exchange alone as he tossed the titan aside he looked back at us half of his face now torn to the skull nassar looked like he was about to pass Out from excitement [

__ ] yeah he shouted jumping up and down that was [ __ ] awesome kente silenced him with one punch essentially vaporizing him there wasn't much hope before but there was even less now sanders warning had been vague but i was doubtful it was any kind of exaggeration the kid ready to sword a vain effort considering the fact that he was about to go down And then we were all screwed so i thought the time that the titan had bought us was about to prove more than valuable as kente prepared a blow that would likely

finish the kid on the spot a stream of projectiles hit his face causing him to flinch just slightly i turned to face who'd done it and to my surprise it was bella for one reason or another the bloody painter was back you Kente roared ken was happy to see her of course you came back he began before his face dropped but now you're gonna die have some faith in me won't you i wouldn't be here if i didn't have a plan a plan cale suddenly appeared from behind her well i guess you can call it

a plan didn't have much time to put it together though in any case we were hardly in a position To protest kante barreled past the kitten nearly foaming at the mouth as he rushed bella with overwhelming killing intent on his face i'd like to say that bella looked unfazed herself but that was far from the truth she narrowly dodged his tackle hardly looking calm and collected in the process kale attacked kente from behind attempting to sink his teeth into his Skin his fangs broke immediately upon it ah [ __ ] this he said before being

tossed into a wall however he managed to distract kente long enough for bella to make a move running to an adjacent intersecting hall and looking down it [ __ ] she said before looking back at us distract him 30 seconds that's all i need 30 seconds might as well have been an hour Before kente could rush back towards bella ken stepped forward forming a couple of portals on the ground in which two crocodile-like creatures emerged from they were destroyed in four seconds the kid went after kente next which posed another problem no sandhu shouted don't

let aj get near him kale groaned pulling himself back up well all right He jumped in between kente and the kid pushing the ladder backwards before blocking a punch from the former with his arm the arm was obliterated as he was launched back once again but he managed to buy about three seconds while doing so ken opened up three more portals blood now pouring like a fountain from his eyes nose and temple god damn it he mumbled shaking as he Forced his ability to the limit but then he smiled i guess i trust you though

two of his creatures attacked kente while the other one kept the kid occupied that move managed to waste another seven seconds i looked back over at bella and she was holding up ten fingers nine eight the kente was already on the move he'd reached her in three seconds to tell you the truth i can't say i've done A lot of fruit things in my life sure i stood up for a kid when he was being bullied back in the fourth grade intimidated a guy out of breaking into a parked car once broke up two bar

fights before but nothing that had actually put my life on the line truth be told i was never really willing to do so i'm sure it's a sentiment shared by most and it begs the question If you knew that your inactivity would lead to death regardless would it really count as heroic in the end but knowing that i didn't have much time to think these thoughts were racing through my head as my feet were already moving hey [ __ ] i screamed as i got within about a meter of him kente turned to face me

i nearly [ __ ] my pants on the spot i had no plan no said strategy i wasn't Even planning on throwing a strike that would have been pointless anyway there was also no way that i was going to block or dodge any of his attacks i suppose that right there and then i was fully prepared to die maybe i hadn't even realized it myself but then the luckiest thing that had ever happened to me happened right then and there i was prided myself on having good Balance rarely skidded an inch never swayed on boats

or trains always pretty good at sports however in that moment i slipped on a patch of blood and by some miracle it came at the exact moment kente's fist was about to connect with my face instead of my skull being pulverized his knuckle only grazed the side of my cheek ripping a large gash through it as he did so sure It hurt like hell and i wasn't going to be talking to any girls for a while but i'd managed to buy enough time bella shot another stream of blades at the back of kente's head turning

his attention away from me the next few moments went rather slowly in my head i watched as kente darted forward in a flash while bella scrambled like hell out of the way as she was doing so a figure had stepped out of the adjacent hall behind her I didn't need to wonder who it was his move spoke for himself it was the dancing guy shuffling cheerfully along kente himself even hesitated for a moment but it was too late for him as they collided the dancing guy's mp3 flew out of his hand for a moment time

seemed to stop the dancer froze in place for what must have been ten seconds during that time even kente Couldn't bring himself to move it was the calm before the storm for a split second the dancer's expression contorted into something that i'll likely never be able to get out of my head it was an indescribable look of sheer and otherworldly rage i blinked once and when my eyes opened back up i was met with a wall of red mist and flying limbs one of kente's oversized arms even flew At me nearly dislocating my shoulder as

it did so the man we'd previously deemed an immovable and unsurmountable wall had been demolished in less than a second now dripping in blood the dancer strolled over to his fallen music player and plugged it back in all of us watched in stunned silence as he shuffled off and out of sight towards the opposite hall [Music] Kale was the first one to speak up afterwards i'll be honest i was 99 sure that wasn't gonna work bella let out a laugh of half relief and half disbelief i looked over to the kid who was still in

his night's form however he looked confused almost as if his reason for existing had suddenly vanished soon enough he reverted back to his original human state Aj fell to his knees coughing up blood in between sobs sandu quickly rushed over in order to tend to him is everything done i thought to myself say for clint tfv h was dead so were all the voids except for the dancer and the still contained calamity i guess it's over then that was ballsy man i looked over to see ko grinning at me running at kente like that [

__ ] hell i let out a slight chuckle hardly able to believe it myself i guess so how's you go kale shrugged i guess some things can't be helped i gave him a good send-off though in the meantime bella was talking to ken i'd help you out but she said wiping some of the blood off of his face which was entirely covered with it i don't i don't know what to do here yeah yeah it's more of an internal pain Looks kind of badass though doesn't it looks kind of gross actually they both laughed that

was great what she did there let's call it lucky thanks for trusting me there though thanks for coming back i really appreciate oh shut up you guilt-tripped me into it you [ __ ] before he could speak again she pulled him in for a kiss not wanting to make things awkward i Directed my attention back at aj who was beginning to settle down he all right i asked sandu as i walked over in place of response he simply got up and hugged me i owe you a bit longer and he'd be we'd all be his

voice began trembling it's all right buddy i said don't worry about it at least it's over now he let go of me and looked at everyone Else i owe all of you about time i did something good for once ken responded bella sighed before smiling yeah same that [ __ ] killed the first friend i'd made in a long time kail added he had it coming a period of silence followed as we all began coming to terms with the events that had transpired not the easiest task ah how touching A familiar but completely annoying voice

reverberated from behind me i knew i'd forgotten about something i turned around seeing adrian standing right there wearing his signature stupid smug smirk who the [ __ ] is this kale blurted out adrian ignored his question looking over at the kid instead that's the cool ability you got there he said You know where it come in real handy oh no i thought please don't say it his grin grew even wider the evisceration matches did we get here at that moment it was all i could think about as fun as this all has been and it

certainly has jeez adrian laughed to himself i almost forgot what i came here for this coke is deadly sometimes there's no way Don't even say it sandu cut him off adrian raised a brow yeah is that so look i get this whole guardian protector role you're trying to play here it's commendable really and i'm sure the kid's been through a lot but his lips curled into a malicious grin i've been through a lot as well you know what i've learned this kid's gonna croak if he keeps hanging out with you he's strong sure but he

can get a lot Stronger you guys got lucky against kente it won't happen every time you don't want that do you you literally want to send him off to death fights on some god forsaken planet what are you talking about i interjected adrian groaned oh why don't you just shut up just shut the [ __ ] up as much as i hated to admit it the sound of him raising his voice Caused me to go quiet there was a powerful aura surrounding him like a switch in his demeanor that would flip instantly and aggressively in

all honesty my will simply wasn't strong enough to challenge him any further out of everybody there i certainly was the weakest look ken said stepping forward i have no idea where you crawled out from but we kinda went through a lot just now Trying to protect the kid we're not gonna let him go just like that majoring clicked his tongue i don't like getting my hands dirty but he moved in a flash rushing towards sandu with startling velocity however his strike was intercepted by kale at the last moment [ __ ] kale muttered holding adrian's

fist back how is this guy strong as well adrian struggled for a moment before breaking kale's wrist and slamming a Palm into his jaw he went back at sandu only to be stopped again by a stream of blades from bella shredding his right arm as he blocked it why are you people so hung up over this kid anyway are you an idiot what kind of question is that ken said stepping forward with his caked in dry blood he looked as if he was about to pass out at any moment still he offered a challenge i

couldn't live With myself if i let a freak like you get near him he said before opening up another portal this guy is one of my favorites glad he's still around for you a massive skeleton with the bits of charred flesh dangling off its oversized bones emerged from the portal it revved up an equally oversized chainsaw before charging at adrian what the [ __ ] he barely got the words out before he was forced to evade Certain decapitation he bobbed and weaved away from the devastating blades before eventually taking a few nasty cuts at the

same time kale was back on his feet giving adrian further trouble on top of it all bella soon joined in forcing his back against the wall he spat before leaping into the air and obliterating a good portion of the skeleton's skull with an elbow strike It's not enough the skeleton grabbed him by the neck and thrashed him onto the floor as he struggled to pull himself up kale swooped in and knocked him back down about time to give up don't you think he grinned adrian spat out a good amount of blood you really don't want

that he bolted up drilling his head into kale's chin before launching himself head first at the skeleton's torso i figured it out He screamed i just need to get rid of your [ __ ] arms he did just that snapping both of the skeleton's elbows at the joints causing it to drop the chainsaw he was about to go for the killing blow when a stream of bella's shards hit one of his eyes blinding him [ __ ] [ __ ] he shouted the skeleton capitalized on the momentary distraction kicking him into a wall safe to

say things were not going adrian's way He looked up his kale bella and the skeleton began converging on him all at once his expressions still rife with frenetic concentrated rage however it didn't linger soon enough he began smiling okay all right he said holding up a hand you can't say this was a fair fight but you got me damn i thought i was tougher than this he stood up The grin still plastered across his face i guess time for plan b what the hell does that mean ken asked well i gave you a hint you're

not going to like this from his pocket he pulled out some kind of clunky switch wrapped in a mess of wires i'm releasing the big boy the calamity the hairs on the back of my neck stood up Kale began stepping forward but adrian held his hand out you're nowhere near fast enough to get to me in time he suddenly looked over to bella who was visibly itching to spray him with some more blades you two don't even [ __ ] try it don't you know how stupid of an idea this is ken said okay prof

lecture me some more i mean you guys brought this on to yourselves I had a simple request he let out another insane laugh before abruptly going serious last chance i mean it nobody moved in fact nobody said anything at all we were all at a loss for what to do how could you have figured out how to release it ken finally spoke up you're bluffing yeah well you're pretty [ __ ] annoying he flipped the switch before dropping it on the ground i'm a [ __ ] genius He said i can do anything as adrian

continued to grin with malicious anticipation the rest of us waited intense silence for what felt like five minutes but nothing happened ken broke the silence you know when people bluff they usually don't go this far adrian's face contorted into a confused rage give me a [ __ ] break you spat out all this work for nothing He took a glance over his shoulder no this is [ __ ] i'm not an idiot like a bat out of hell he took off down the opposing corridor he's checking the panel ken said that's right i thought to

myself the panel was the only real way we could confirm whether or not he was really bluffing truth be told none of us had any idea what the calamity could have been we all just assumed it was going to be Some colossal monstrosity of a creature that was going to be bent on imminent destruction following its release but we didn't know perhaps the danger it posed was more esoteric something non-direct we should go see for ourselves i spoke up at this point whatever happens is going to happen it didn't take too much convincing ken created

another portal Pulling the skeleton back through it with a fog of demise looming in the air around us the six of us began making our way the only thing left to do was to confirm our fate when we got to the panel we were met with an unfavorable sight the light was yellow escape in progress not only that but a trap door had opened up in the floor to the side with a set of stairs leading down it Adrian was right there leering down into it what'd i tell you he said i'm not an idiot

well what the hell are we gonna do now ken asked go down there then what tame it or something tame it die well we'll see what happens it's not like it matters anymore unless you want to give me the kid sandu didn't budge adrian scoffed i'll be honest i was Planning on releasing this thing regardless you can't just keep something like this all locked up you know his remaining eye was wide with excitement as he said it he looked back at the trap door the great unknown huh he muttered before bolting down the stairs should

we have stopped him kale asked as adrian disappeared into whatever abyss was waiting for him i i don't know ken responded Would there have been a point a long period of silence followed it could have been an hour and maybe close to two but regardless of the time nothing happened no giant creature bursting out from the floor no portal sucking us into hell well one thing did change the light on the panel turned from yellow to red the calamity had escaped but that happened a while ago adrian never even came up safe to say We

were at a loss for any kind of explanation so what now do we leave or feels weird leaving it like this doesn't it kale said i guess ken added don't really know where else to go from here though well there is one option i said it was an instinctive outburst something i was hardly thinking about myself yeah and what is that i gestured towards the open door we Could go down and see what happened for ourselves ken blinked a few times in disbelief are you [ __ ] in the head was i it was a

fleeting thought aren't you curious i asked about what they've been trying to contain this whole time ken left well i never wanted to be here in the first place so it really doesn't matter to me but if you want to go then make it quick I'm sure this place won't be quiet for much longer i stopped myself for a second is this really what i want i thought to myself i didn't really know yet there was some kind of strange impulse driving me forward maybe there was never a calamity in the first place kell spoke

up what if it was just a scare tactic that theory could have held some weight But it didn't answer the question of what the hell happened to adrian well it exists alright a new voice came from behind us we all turned around already on edge from everything that had happened before but it was clint still bloody and beaten from his bout with the warden clint can grin to him jeez you're still alive nassar and i made a bet about whether or not you were gonna survive I can't really collect now since he's dead though yeah

clint smiled back how much did you put on me about 600 god i'm offended don't you have any faith in me buddy i know you're a high roller at least in vegas you know that's great that you guys are friends and all kale interrupted but what the hell were you saying about the calamity i'll tell you but first you gotta tell Me something who the hell opened up that door uh this this crazy [ __ ] guy i don't think you know him i responded and he's down there right now i nodded clint's expression turned

dead serious god damn it he muttered he drew a handgun from his belt and began rapidly descending the stairs the rest of us looked at each other in Confusion before quickly following after him it was a longer journey than i had anticipated it really begged the question of why such a lengthy set of stairs was constructed in the first place once we got down there we found ourselves in some kind of laboratory with dusty monitors and haphazard stacks of documents strewn everywhere at the very end of the lab was a metal Door that was wide

open we could see adrian standing inside the room that it led into i couldn't really tell what he was doing at first it kind of just looked like he was standing still and then i realized that's all he was doing he paid no attention to us he was simply staring ahead although i couldn't quite see what he was staring at At first that is whatever you do do not look inside that damn room clint shouted us he said it just a little bit too late i don't know how i can describe what i was seeing

on the surface it's simple there's a monitor adrian was simply staring at a monitor but what was on that monitor was tougher to explain It was a amalgamation of incomprehensible shapes and figures shifting and moving in ways completely alien to human perception and then there were the colors colors i'd never seen before in my life colors that i'm pretty sure didn't exist in that moment i could feel my mind fading my sense of self dissolving into the void i was utterly transfixed on whatever the hell was on that monitor I could feel some kind of

strange pleasure overwhelming my senses but at the same time i was trying my absolute hardest to look away my emotions were utterly conflicted which only worsened the already perplexing situation i was eventually snapped out of it after some unknown duration i remember jumping at the sounds of multiple gunshots before feeling a debilitating migraine and experiencing Fleeting moments of blindness i bent over in pain before blinking a few times and looking back up to see clint carrying adrian's limp bullet-ridden body with the door to the room now shut behind him as soon as he was done

with that he pressed his back against the wall eyes wide and breathing heavily like a child who'd just seen a ghost what the hell was that all about what The [ __ ] is wrong with you ken asked him i guess nobody else had gotten a glimpse of the monitor because they wouldn't have been asking that that's that was the calamity wasn't it i said still mentally reeling from the experience clint looked at me and nodded what i could barely get the question out but clint answered regardless some things don't have answers all that I

know is that somewhere out there in the vast expanse above us there's something that we were never meant to see something that we cannot cross paths with but if it's up there then we shouldn't have to worry about it right what's with all this and why the hell are we monitoring it i asked clint sighed here's the thing As soon as we found out about its existence it found out about ours in a way we're linked to it every second that a human eye perceives that thing it reciprocates that attention if somebody looks at it

for too long then they're pretty much inviting it right over to us i can hardly respond to this i guess i should tell you all this part as well he continued it's already coming towards us Best eta puts it at around 19 000 years away but after today it's probably a lot closer now he looked down at adrian this [ __ ] just shortened humanity's lifespan by a couple thousand years and then he looked up at me i saw you looking as well he said lucky i snapped you out of it before you went insane

he probably just cost us about 50 years As well okay cal spoke up not that i'm following any of this but how are we stopping this thing from arriving clint let out a dry laugh that's what they keep trying to figure out why they built this lab in the first place it's funny though all of their research probably just brought it closer huh ken said so That's the deal with the calamity it wouldn't have been my first guess yeah pretty whack [ __ ] clint said as he got up welp we better get the hell

out of here this place is about to be swarmed sure but where the hell would we go the moment we try getting off this island we're getting shot at maybe it's better to take our chances here and explain the situation kale said no [ __ ] way we're staying Here sandu ken and bella responded in unison we better figure something out soon getting out of here is going to be tough though it's going to be impossible what the island's already surrounded and the cavalry's ready to pounce on any stragglers they know about everybody who was

supposed to be in here and they're gonna hunt down the ones who don't get Accounted for he paused for a moment in other words you guys would be [ __ ] and then he grinned if i wasn't here he took out a bizarre looking cell phone and dialed a number hey i'm done you spoke into it come and pick me up before we could ask any questions a small blue portal opened up in the ground a few meters away from us so you can do it too huh ken said Yes sir clint responded but there's

no monsters coming out of this one moments later a well-built man with a heavy mass of a beard who looked to be in his late 20s popped out what the hell clint where's your own [ __ ] transporter morton broke it the man left oh right how was that by the way what do you think pete i almost died i'm surprised you made it out at all The warden's a tough bastard and you brought company huh he looked over at each of us before gesturing towards the portal well don't be scared jump in there were

a few more objections of course mostly from kale and i kale was still clinging on to his identity as some reprehensible criminal who belonged in this place while i was [ __ ] myself at the prospect of jumping into some blue hole In the ground however everybody else was raring to go i suppose they all had their reasons the kid looked as if he was about to pass out but he really didn't have a say in the matter sandu was just trying to get him the hell away from this place i only ended up jumping

in when i heard the sound of boots on metal above us i'm not quite sure how to describe my journey through the portal Disorienting i guess but at that point my senses had become pretty dulled anyway we were transported to the top of a metal tower overlooking some desert-like expanse the surface was crawling with ghastly creatures that looked to be some kind of coyote scorpion hybrid and they sure as hell were aggressive constantly attacking and ripping apart and cannibalizing each other At the edge of the platform we were on there was a sniper rifle mounted

with a stool at the bottom there were also empty boxes of snack cakes and beef jerky packets strewn across the floor why are you hanging out in this dump clint asked him looking disgusted at the site below at target practice pete responded remember the guy we were supposed to kill in paradise x couldn't hit him for [ __ ] and then i nearly got my dick chopped off hold on are you just not gonna explain where the [ __ ] we are kale interrupted sounding somewhat exasperated well i mean i thought what just happened was

pretty obvious pete responded we hopped to another dimension congrats you're a jumper now a jumper didn't adrian say something about that So where you want to go next clint asked what what do you mean ken spoke up like to another dimension clint nodded well i mean i thought we were jeez ken i thought you'd be a little more adventurous than that ken side i don't know i i make my way around earth pretty well you know i'm down bella said causing ken to whip his head around are you serious i'll follow you anywhere Bella said

mockingly ken chuckled somewhat nervously i never said that maybe it was similar but it wasn't that lame whatever bella continued walking towards clinton pete ken hesitated for a few more moments before ultimately relenting jeez he said this is [ __ ] up what about you vampire clint looked at kale i'm not sure he responded i think a Vacation is more than i deserve hmm clint continued so you still think rotting away in a prison's gonna do anybody any good well i'll tell you something that might pique your interest there's a planet named gehenna out in

an area called the dark zone there's no rules there no interdimensional government that has jurisdiction over it and any task force they send gets Obliterated and trust me there's some bad [ __ ] happening to innocent beings over there [ __ ] that makes your blood boil just thinking about it it can't be helped i guess nobody's coming to take out the bad guys and stop the suffering he looked kale did in the eye look you're not the strongest but you're strong enough to make a difference not to mention you can get even stronger don't

waste your life go and help those People there's a militia of vigilantes called the deliverance pushing back against the gangs and traffickers controlling that place we can get you over there and then you can go find them join them and tell them i sent you it took a moment but kale ultimately relented to the proposition even though he was acting reluctant I could tell that he was glad he had a purpose once again now clint said turning to face us what do we do with you guys aj still looked terrified as he clung on to

sandu ah jeez clint pete said as he fired another sniper bullet down into the massive creatures you're getting kids caught up in your messes as well sand your side look i appreciate you getting us out of there but We need to go back clint and i both raised an eyebrow well what they'll track you guys down for sure that's a terrible idea maybe so but it's out of my hands i have one more thing i need to figure out he looked at aj one more thing i need to figure out for his sake trust me

clint sighed fair enough well you want me to come along i asked sandu smiled at me nah This is something we need to do on our own well i responded it's been a ride man it felt weird saying bye to him like this yeah it sure has but if things work out you'll definitely see me again and just like that everything had been settled sandu and aj were headed back to earth their exact destination well i'd rather not say on here kale was headed to gehenna in order to join the deliverance Pete stayed in the

desert planet in order to continue his shooting once clint had fixed his transporter him ken and bella went off to god knows where well to be more accurate i went with them as well but things got complicated pretty quickly and we got separated so where am i now that's a long story for another time but i think things will work out in the End at least i hope they do [Music] you
