The Art of Infiltration

   Eddie and I made our way towards the side entrance. Surprisingly there were guards stationed at the side entrance.

   "They got two at the entrance?" Eddie said, clearly irritated. "If we were to take em out, we could probably get in without alerting other people",  Eddie pondered.

   "But it's the same thing if we were to enter from the the front, we run the risk of immediately alerting the people inside." "We risk losing our element of surprise", I respond to Eddie.

   As I deliberate about whether or not going through the side entrance, I happen to glance up. I saw an opened window hatch. If we could enter from there and make our way down, we could pick off most of the goons one by one. As I was about to propose my idea to Eddie he immediately stood up and began walking towards the two guards.

    "Excuse me sir, I'm a bit lost." "Do you know where this place is? The Map on my phone has been around in circles." Eddie said to the bewildered guards.

    As he reached for his pockets, the guards leaned in closer. And at that moment Eddie knocked them out fast.

   "That's how you think on your feet kid!", Eddie said while giving me a thumbs up.

   We slowly opened the door, peeking as we opened it to be sure. As soon as we entered, we immediately crouched down, surveying the insides of the warehouse. Here in the bottom floor we counted around ten or twelve henchmen, there were probably more upstairs. 

   Looking at our situation, we were in a two versus twenty or so fight. Right now things were looking real slim, but we already expected this. 

   As we were about to slowly make our way over, the eerie feeling in my body intensified. My body was screaming danger, Eddie was talking to me quietly. He was trying to get me to start moving. But this incredibly gloomy feeling kept me glued in place.

   This went on for about one or two more minutes. After I felt I could move again, I began to make my way towards Eddie. This dark and gloomy feeling that would not leave me since we left the home was still there. As I stepped forward the dark and gloomy and everything that came with it intensified, it made my stomach churn. 

   I looked at Eddie dead in the eye as I felt like I had to release this eerie feeling that was haunting me. And once I did, it manifested itself in to a loud, ass blasting sound of a fart. 

The extremely loud “PBBBBBBBBTTT”, echoed in the abandoned warehouse. And as they say lightning is always followed by thunder, although in this case it would be the other way around because the sound came first but let's save the semantics for another time, as a putrid smell enveloped the warehouse.

   "Nice going kid.", Eddie said angrily while covering his nose. I thought you wanted us to be stealthy?

   "Why'd you have to rip such a loud one?"

   "I couldn't help it man, my stomach was hurting like crazy!",  I answer back.

   "So much for stealth, you just notified every single f*****g person in the building that we're here!"

"Guess we'll have to muscle our way through". And as Eddie said this, we heard a loud "Hey! The f**k are you two doin there huh?", as a bunch of goons rushed us. 

   "All you kid, you got us in this mess so you handle them", Eddie said.

   I draw my blade as I begin to gather the winds.

   I wanted to test out a knew move under "Blade of the Four Winds: Zephyr, the gentle breeze", this technique used the winds to pull enemies closer to me, gathering them then using the winds to launch them in the air.

   I called it inward-spiraling wind. this move is now the fourth move under "Blade of the Four Winds: Zephyr, the gentle breeze". I was quite elated when I launched the henchmen up in the air. It meant that the winds that I gathered was capable of lifting multiple people.

As the henchmen began to stand up once again, after being launched the biggest one among them spoke to me.

   "That won't be enough to stop us! We'll take your head and  present it to the boss!"

   With this battle cry the henchmen began to charge at me once again.

   I was raring to go, I felt the adrenaline pumping.  I charged at them this time I decided to use Cutting winds, and instead of using all five consecutive strikes on a single target, I decided that I would use only one s***h for each henchmen.

   This still was not enough to finish all of them off as there were still three left standing from the five henchmen that charged at me. These three already looked pretty battered however so all I had to do was evade their attacks and counter with my own to finish them.

   Among "Blade of the Four Winds: Zephyr, the gentle breeze", the best move suited for this is now Tailwind! By gathering the winds around feet and constantly shifting where they are assisting and propelling me. This technique allows me to move at the fastest possible speed.

   All three of the remaining henchmen begin slashing at me, I began using Tailwind to quicken my footsteps and my to assist me in dodging each of their swings. Because they were already hit by two of my moves these three henchmen were moving extremely sluggish, despite having the size and reach advantage over me, they were also wielding axes and yet I am still able to evade their attacks.

   I waited for the opportunity to strike them down. And quickly I saw my opening. The first guy over extended his axe swing and I used this to pierce him through his armpit. The second and third guy then began to attack me simultaneously. 

   Their attacks were quite predictable and after I learned their attack pattern all I had to do was use inward-spiraling wind to knock them up.

   "Nice work kid! Look there's more of em coming! I got the ones pouring from the front entrance while you make your way upstairs", Eddie said.

   A bunch of goons were making their way down the flight of stairs. I had to finish them off then head to the second floor. 

I smile knowing that things were only getting started.
