Chapter Four "The Appearing"

Velis
Merdos, this is not what needs to happen.
Merdos
I cannot see any other way, you cannot have the boy
She sat down on the couch
Velis
You wouldn’t understand.
Merdos
I’m afraid there is no need for understanding each other.
Velis
If that is the way it is, if you cannot listen to reason, you leave me with no choice but to kill you.
Merdos
We are on opposite sides of the tracks my dear. Your words are empty.
Velis
Well then, with empty words our worlds collide.
Merdos
It seems so
Merdos clapped his hands together
Merdos
Hands of Incision!
His hands began to have a cloud of grey all around them.
Velis
Still at it with those hands I see. Well then
Velis stood up and pulled out a silver gun.
Velis
Let’s clash
She fired and he seemed to of caught the bullet but the bullet fell to the floor in half. As he charged she held her ground. Every swing of his hands she dodged with precise movement.
Velis
Come on Merdos, your getting old.
He crisscrossed his arms for her head and she ducked back, only cutting the bottom of her hair. She laughed and lifted her leg and kicked off his chest.
Merdos
I wouldn’t expect anymore from The Shadow Regimes best assassin.
Velis
Don’t flatter me; you never could make me blush
Every shot she fired was cut in half by his hands. The two seemed evenly matched.
Velis
You have to do better then-
He had got her, a long slash appeared on the side of her cheek he then spun around and kicked her. She flew out the already opened door.He stood at the doorstep
Merdos
If you give up now, I promise I’ll make you blush in interrogation
Velis
Ha, like that would ever happen.
And so they continued to go at it. Each occasionally got in a hit but never could get pass the line that made them equal. After an hour of fighting they were at a standstill.
Merdos
When does it end?
Velis
When you choose to listen
She spat blood on the floor, the spit was red.
Merdos
Your bleeding.
Velis
Well you did slash me on my neck
Merdos
You asked for it
Velis
Merdos, you are a fool, you have no idea what is going on.
Merdos
Stop with this
Velis
No! I want to help you!
Merdos
Help me? And how am I supposed to believe you do?
Velis
Because I never lied to you before. Even when we split, I told you I worked for Ximendos. There is a truth that you don’t know, and one we are forbidden to speak of. I break this vow I made to the regime because of my own idiotic emotional tie, to you.
Merdos
Speak, time is short.
Suddenly a figure in a black cloak appeared next to Velis.
Velis
Akasha!
Akasha
I think we’ve heard enough child
She waved her hand and Velis fell to her knees and just knelt beside her
Merdos
What have you done to her?
Akasha
So your Merdos, one of the elite assassin’s I’ve heard about. I see, well in that case your death will be a win for us.
Merdos
No such thing will happen
Akasha
Your chivalry glows around you. How young you are, you remind me much of Amros, going to get yourself killed as well.
Merdos
Foolish women, what do you know about chivalry?
He then was crouched beneath her; he rose and cut the cloak in half.
Akasha
I like your style. I must give the White Coats a hand; you people have style while we have nothing but mindless fools. The time has come for the shadow regime to take its full place as the leader of this world; your lives will be omitted. There is an alternative, vow allegiance to the Regime and you shall be saved.
Merdos
Never, in your world I cannot exist.
Akasha
Very well then. I’ve had a change of heart, go to your masters, tell them to be ready when the time comes to draw arms, we shall fight to kill.
Merdos was gone.
Akasha
Come Glado.
A man appeared short and thin under a black cloak.
Glado
To late am I?
Akasha
Yes, and Brutus?
A big figure in a black cloak appeared next
Brutus
Sorry Akasha, we all can’t slither out of things like you.
Glado
Where’s Orthak?
Orthak
Here.
He appeared behind Glado, tall and slim as well but fully hooded.
Glado
You really mustn’t do that Orthak, how many times must I tell you.
Orthak
Silence, Akasha, what happened?
Akasha
The girl was defeated, he escaped.
Glado
Oh my, my, master will not be happy with this.
Brutus
Are you sure that is the way it happened Akasha?
Akasha
Surely you are not questioning my word brother
Brutus
No, just a question.
Akasha
Good, now let us report to master, Orthak, do what you will with her.
Orthak lifted the girl on his back and they were all gone.
