Chapter 4 - chapter 4

The rush of footsteps towards him felt like the ground beneath him was about to split at the seams, he knew it was only a matter of time before he was swarmed.

With his quick thinking he jamp between the containers till he was on top of them, infrastructure of him was the lights where the conversation was earlier. He knew that the mysterious women would probably be there and he could take her out.

He took a couple steps back and then sprinted and leaped over the gap in the container, his feet touched the other and he done a quick roll to slow himself down. He kept jumping from container to container till he got to the middle of the warehouse and saw the women again, she had also went on the containers.

"So you're the one here it seems. An ant bound to be crushed" annoyance eminated from her voice, the mask distorting it. "I'm here for one thing, better not stand in my way" Andre replied coldly. "I won't do such a thing, your journey ends here" her voice now a snarls as she lunged at Andre.

He narrowed avoided her fist, the speed was like a bullet and almost sent his hat flying. In response he flung his fist towards her open face and hit her dead center. Her mask had a slight crack in the middle now.

Suddenly sparks started flying all around her. "weren't expecting this were you" anticipation filled the air "I'll give you a little showcase, it'll be the only time you see it anyway" she said before a streak of lightning almost hit Andre.

"Seems like a fun challenge, bring it on!" a grin covered his face as he readied himself. He upholstered his revolver and quickly fired a couple of shots, they were easily dodged by the women. She retaliated by shooting arc of lightning at Andre but he moved out the way and began running at her.

Swerving side to side, avoiding the bolt coming his way he went for a leg sweep. Just before he made the connection she jamp over his leg and hit him with an electrified punch square in the chest. It put him off balance and unable to move, he felt like his heart was going to rupture, his breaths slow but big. He tried to compose himself but found he was unable to.

She knelt down to his level "awww can you not get up? Must suck to be you right now" her voice was mockery, something Andre would stand for. That is if he was able to stand at all.

Using all his strength he put one leg up and tried to stand on the other but he was met with a kick to the face that sent him back down. "That was a good attempt, its your last though" she said as Andre was picked by his collar and beat down on, punch after punch. His face was all bloody, his conscious fading, just as the final puch was going to connect with him he grabbed the fist.

"What! How are you doing this?" Her voice was filled with shock. He tried to speak but his throat couldn't produce anything. He pushed her fist backwards and started to stand up. Without notice he took out his gun and put a bullet into her knee. Her scream was deafening, Andre wasn't done with this fight, he was going to make it a struggle.

Letting go of her fist he hit her with a kick to the stomach, putting her on the floor. He struggled but was able to say "get up, this isn't over" his eyes thirsting for more.

She used all her strength to stand up, using her lighting she was able to create a blade of sorts. It was styled after a scimitar.

She swung heavy at Andre in flurry he wasnt expecting from someone in that state. He had to duck and dodge quickly as to not get caught and sliced up, it left him no to time to counter her with his own attacks.

As moved back to avoid the swings he stumbled to the floor, as he falls he is able to grab one of the flash grenades. The sword is just inches from his face. "Anything to say?" She asked. The only thing he could do was to let off the flash grenade he had.

Pulling the pin he threw it just above him and closed his eyes and heard it go off, he knew he had to act quickly and seize the moment. Jumping up quickly he gets behind them, and yanks out the wires connected to the helmet which gets rid of the lighting sword she was holding.

"Not so sure of victory are you now?" He said as the last 3 shots go through her stomach. She slumps to the floor, as a small pool of blood forms around her.

As the adrenaline wears off Andre feels the agony of all his wounds. He drops to the floor, his body weak and frail. He lifted his head and all around him was the other gang members, he wanted to fight but his body was its limit and would not move. His mission was a failure and he didn't know how he would let that person know.

He blinked and almost instantly he went from the warehouse to a quiet beach. The only noises were of the waves and seagulls. The sand was an almost white as paper and the water red like blood.

He only comes to this place when he "dies" and all he knows is that he is looking for someone, who it is he doesn't remember but an inexplicable force drives him to search for the mystery person. Its his reason to die.

He lifts himself up and begins to walk, his bare feet touched the sand beneath him, all he had on was a pear of shorts. The rest of his body was bare. His build was solid and toned, the only imperfection was the large scar across His chest. A reminder of how close he had gotten to his goal yet so far from it at the same time.

He kept a steady stride, his feet almost dragging through sand with him. He didn't know how much time he had till he woke up, but he liked the quiet so even though a force drove him the quiet kept him grounded and reasonable.

What more could he ask for...
