Muur Chronicles

EPISODE 2

"Something is wrong!" The Chief said as all outside noticed that the shootings have stopped. He quickly mobilized men, but not enough to alter the already existing formations and strategy set in play. Armed to the teeth with their gadgets and gears, they immediately moved in into the building but were surprised to see everywhere calm, a lot of dead bodies lying around and debris scattered all over the place.

Inside the building, Steve forced the odd fellow to revert whatever he did to unleash the creature after figuring out what happened from one of his assailants, which he did. As soon as he did that, Steve developed this big urge to kill him, but decided not to against his better judgment. A few seconds later, a vaporizing cloud with muddy bearings started to manifest in a light form to his surprise. There and then, Linagu appeared from.

With a quick glance, he observed all that went on and signaled Steve to hand over the unknown object. He wanted to put up a protest but Linagu will have none of it.

"Don't worry...In time!" Linagu uttered. He was still agitated when the object left his grasp for Linagu’s and his fight back by trying to control and direct some logs at Linagu with his mind were dissipated as soon as it manifested.

 Linagu then muttered some words, and disappeared as he came, though leaving him with a specially engrafted Anani, promising to send help on its usage. Steve never understood the type of help he meant.

As he turned immediately to face the odd fellow, the odd guy conjured up a blinding light and vanished with it before Steve could blink.

He stood there, looked around at each corner and point in the shattered building, lifeless bodies met his eyes. He noticed also that the whole building was under assault, and unfortunately, he was the only one left standing at the moment.

"You are a weapon!" a voice within him echoed as he made his way out, but his mind was made up already. He figured he has achieved what he came for, even though not of his own accord. He needs to look forward to his own personal revenge on Landon, a revenge that has consumed him and which he has refused to let go. He quickly removed the police uniform he wore, and checked for his guns. He picked them up and started walking out coolly and composed. He was barely outside the building when he met the group being led by the Chief, who opened fire on him immediately. To his surprise, the Anani lit up and put up a shield in front of him, effectively blocking off the bullets. This amazed the officers who were literally dazed by the act. They have never seen anything like this before all their life, and the surprise on their face said it all.

In his mind, he smiled as the bullets stopped while they gaped in awe. He could have ran or tried to maneuver his way out in some other way, but he didn't get the chance. What came next was an act of terror, filled with excruciating horror. His eyes literally lit up as he tried to control himself, not understanding why his body suddenly changed; it was the lightning flashes again. The shootings kicked it in and he lost control of himself instantly. Before he could blink his eyes, he has unleashed an uncontrollable heavy energy blast which hurled most of the officers off their feet into the air, smashing some to the walls. For those that tried to run, he rushed up to in unimagined quick moves, knocking them out with heavy punches and blows.

The Chief managed to maneuver his way out to try and warn the rest of the unit's outside. But, it was too late, Steve was already outside before he knew it and was trying to find a way to escape as he didn't want to continue the engagement with the police any further. They all started shooting at him immediately they saw him, including the Chief that warned them, while also taking cover.

The anani deflected it all for him, although he kept wondering why they were shooting at him since he wasn't there to harm any of them. As he ran, his adrenaline triggered a dormant force in him beyond his control. His body lit up very fast like a quick rise of the sun rays, and before the police officers shooting at him could understand what was going on with him, a highly amplified ultrasonic blinding high-pitched energy blast escaped from his body, causing a huge tremor within and around before he came to, and got a hold of himself. It was then he realized what he has actually done. Almost the whole area of Ledding Street as well as surrounding areas were laid to waste as a result of the energy surge his body unleashed, with bodies scattered all over the place, charred. He was overwhelmed with anger and totally distraught, visibly weakened and shaken, with tears in his eyes. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"What have I done?" He kept asking himself as he stared, totally distraught, unable to fully picture the magnitude of the kilometer wide damage all around Ledding Street. He managed to get small composure of himself in his downcast, before running off!

The odd fellow couldn't believe his eyes as he reappeared at a distance, another area not quite far from the scene of Steve's c*****e. He was visibly shaken, irritated and angry at himself after escaping just in time before the massive explosion wrought by Steve. He made a call and requested for a meet with the caller at the other end of the phone. After that, he vanished again. Few minutes later, he came to the meet location and started waiting. It wasn't long before a mean looking but handsome man appeared out of nowhere.

"Yes?" the man inquired with no formality.

"Something has happened!" the odd fellow stated.

"Something?"

"Yes! The object was acquired which you are aware of, and i was in the process of moving the object to the agreed destination after following all the agreed protocols, routes, directives and discretions, yet someone knew exactly where to find us!" he lamented.

"A Muurian?" the man asked.

"No. He wasn't!" the odd fellow answered.

At this, the man came closer, quickly reached for the odd fellow’s neck and jacked him up. He wriggled in his grasp, trying to make him understand that he fulfilled his part of the bargain by acquiring the unknown object, stating that what came next was not of his making nor told him!

"You failed!" the man echoed and snapped the odd fellows neck, then flung away his dead body in disgust and asported off angrily.
