Prodigies: The Dark Phantom

Episode 23

He run through the ledge and jumped off as he reaches the end of it that has no more surface to take another step.

In the midair, his legs are bended closer to his chest, spine is curved forward and arms are swayed backwards.

(Thud)

He instantly vanished in midair.

And appeared landing over the middle part of the limousine's rooftop, but he rolled backwards because of the strong wind force.

To prevent himself from falling off the roof, he wields the dagger and heavily stabbed a surface of the roof. The dagger penetrated it and slides down, causing a long burning cut and allowing him to see the inside.

Everyone inside was surprised when they saw the dagger penetratingly creating a burning line to the roof.

“What the hell is that?” Westley looks up with a frightened look.

“Huh?, stop the car!” butler one, which is the head of all butlers and the driver noticed it too, he commanded the driver.

The limousine stops its wheels on the roadside and five butlers immediately came out to check the outside including butler one.

“It's gone, go look around and report!” butler one commanded as he looked around.

“Yes sir!” the four butlers response.

Butler one climbs up the the limousine's roof to check how it was penetrated by stepping on the compartment and kneeling one leg on the roof.

“Impossible, this is a bullet proof car.” butler one's mind said.

He touches the edge of the penetrated surface and felt hurt because of the high degree of heat.

“What's happening?” the first old man asked Westley.

“I think we must go away now.” the second old man said to Westley.

“Yes he's right! we need to go now.” the third old man insisted Westley.

They're all frighteningly insisting Westley, while their ladies are holding their arms tight and also convincing their men to leave.

“Wait, just calm down everyone. They can handle it, my butlers are all professionals. You don't need to worry...” he shows his palms to them, trying to lessen their panic.

“Have you seen anything?” butler one asked through the radio earphone on his right ear.

“Negative sir.” the four butlers response, they're surrounding the limousine in four directions from a far distance.

“Hey, asked them about the situation out there.” Westley approaches the butler on his right.

“Yes sir.” he noddingly replied.

“Capt.,” the tip of his right pointing finger touches the radio earphone on his right ear, “Mr. Westley wants to know the situation out there.”

“Negative, there's no sign of the enemy anywhere.” butler one replied while still wandering his eyes around.

“No signs of enemy sir.” butler seven turned his face to Westley and said.

“What?.” Westley sighs and faces the table shortly, “Tell them to come back, we're moving now.” he looked at him again and commanded him.

“Yes sir.” he noddingly replied.

Butler seven touches again his radio earphone “Mr. Westley wants you all to return, we're moving now.”

The five butlers guarding the outside immediately returned to the limousine after the call.

As the limousine began to move away, Vincent was left laying his belly above the upper right corner ledge of a huge billboard, and staring at the limousine.

He stood up and unsummoned the dagger.

“Whew!, that was cool.” he said while relaxing his joints and neck and later vanishes as he jumps off the ledge.

“We should head to the closest police station, it might be the extraordinary criminal in the news lately.” the second old man said so everyone will be aware.

“Right!, we must tell the authorities.” the third old man supported him.

“Why is it attacking us?” the first old man asked as he looked at Westley.

“I don't know.” Westley replied but he couldn't look directly into their eyes.

“Or maybe?, who's one of us was his real target?” the second old man's eyes rolled at Westley and it seems like he's judging him.

“Why are you all staring at me?” his eyebrows merges, wondering of their strange stares.

“You've been arrested because of a murder case right?, that was on past two years.” the second old man said.

“He might be the target!” the third old man pointed a finger at him.

“We better arrive at the police station as fast we can.” the first old man said.

Westley fears that it might be the real reason of the sudden attack. He's trying to make himself calm but he too can't hide his fear.

His friends couldn't remain calm despite of the butlers surrounding them and are ready to face their enemy.

“Just stay calm!, nothing bad will happen.” Westley shows his palm again to them.

“Don't worry sir, you're all safe with us.” butler three supported Westley.

“You heard him. I told you not to worry about your safety.” Westley said.

(Thud)

Vincent suddenly appeared ahead of the limousine, the driver and butler one on the front seats saw him standing in a distance where the right head light of the limousine is matching his position.

Vincent summons the dagger and spins it to change the blade's direction.

When the rushing limousine finally reaches his position, Vincent quickly made a wide step of his left foot like he's preparing for a marathon to start, as he makes a wide step, he stretches his right arm and does a quick cut starting from the right head light till it hits the right tire and the right seat door.

The cutted parts was burned, the tire exploded and scatters its metallic parts on its path.

Because of that, the driver wasn't able to maintain the control of their speed, everyone inside was shaken because of the curving movements of their vehicle on the road.
