Midnight Hunters

Chapter 13

Swordsman's POV

“Where's our next target Hacker?” I asked his hologram. Silencer is standing right beside me also listening.

“I will send you the location of where she live, at this hour I think she's taking a milk bath. Go to her room at the third floor. There are guards outside her house around fifty of them, there are also dogs inside. I can say they're extremely big, you'll know it when you see it. I think there's ten of them or even more. Security cameras are nutshell in her house, I have a little trouble accessing the CCTV cameras.” He explained.

She has many connections, that's why Hacker is having a little trouble.

“Hey, why did you think she's taking a milk bath?” Silencer teased him.

He came closer to Hacker's hologram and try to nudge him, but his elbow just went through it. Muntik na s'ya bumagsak sa lupa sa kawalan ng balanse. Hacker boredly stared at him and cross his arms.

”On her social media, she's always posting that she's taking a milk bath. I also saw some on her drafts that she haven't posted,” Hacker said with a straight face. I chuckled.

“Man your skills are really amazing. I wish I can do that too, you know what I'm saying?” Silencer said while raising his right eyebrow.

Hacker's expression didn't change, he's a lot serious than we are, but he can be a bit cocky and annoying if he feels like it.

“It's very simple,” Hacker said in plain tone.

“But you know, we or I can get caught when using social media. That will be their other source to track a criminal, you still have the upper hand since you been doing this for months now and still haven't been tracked yet.” Silencer fired back.

That is true. We don't use social media, we let Hacker give us updates on what's going on in our city.

“We still need to go to our last target,” I interrupted. I nudged him on his elbow when he's about to speak nonsense. Obviously he wants Hacker to teach him how the system works. He won't be able to know that, he's strong but he's not that smart.

Just kidding, he can, but he don't have the power that Hacker has. Hacker has more knowledge is this world, plus the Lacrima that he have, I even considered myself that he knows everything. But that would make him like a god. I'm sure there are something he couldn't figure out.

Sa pagsiko ko ay tumigil naman si Silencer. Tumikhim s'ya bago lingunin ang naka simangot na mukha ni Hacker, probably getting bored already.

“Ano nga pala gagawin namin ngayon doon?” Silencer changed the topic.

“Well, just destroy everything. You heard what boss said awhile ago.” Hacker smirked.

Ramdam kong nabuhayan ang katabi ko.

“Good idea,” I said. Without saying anything, Hacker's hologram disappeared.

And now we head off. We ran and jumped into branches that we saw, we always kept ourselves hidden even we're in a dark place. You will never know who might be waiting for you in an open space.

We can handle everyone who block are way, but as much as possible, we keep our attention on the target.

The location was not that far, she's just around the corner. We positioned our selves in the bushes, sumilip kami at tinignan ang paligid. We are here, Hacker was right, there's a lot of guards roaming around the house. Why do she have so much security? she's not that special.

She's nothing but a b***h.

But having so much connections really gives her privilege, plus... she is a part of the government.

“Should I throw sleeping gas?” I gaze at him.

“You will ruin the fun Silencer,” I said and grinned.

“Oh I see,” napa tango-tango s'ya, nakuha ang ibig kong sabihin.

“Let's have some fun first, Angelica doesn't have many guards like this.” Nilabas ko ang katana ko, he did the same taking out his dagger.

“I'm also sick of stupid people guarding someone like her.” He acted like he's about to vomit.

“You're so dramatic.” I shook my head and stood up.

I started walking near the house, Silencer followed me. I can sense that he's now playing with his dagger. He has two moods when playing with his dagger, it's either he's bored or thrilled.

Right now it's obvious that he's thrilled.

The guards all looked at us, they pointed their flashlight to our direction. Napaiwas naman kami dahil sa nakakasilaw na liwanag. Silencer didn't mind the bright light and started running towards the guards, ilang segundo lang s'ya nawala sa tabi ko ay lima na agad ang napatumba nya. They didn't have time to bring out their guns.

Napatingala ako at nakita ang liwanag ng buwan. It's like the moon is on our side, giving us permission to do whatever we want.

I glanced at the guards.

This is so easy.

Sumugod na din ako. May tumunog sa loob ng bahay. They must have known we're here.

That was fast.

We didn't mind the alarms and finished killing the guards. We started running inside the house.

All the guards are dead, now we have to turn off that irritating alarm. We stopped when we saw a bunch of dogs, not regular dogs. Ang lalaki nila. Silencer released his smoke gas to knock out the dogs. But there were more coming towards us, the guards are also increasing.

“How many stupid guards does she have?” Silencer asked, I shrugged my shoulder.

“No idea.” We attacked.

“You handle the guards, I'll knock the dogs first, I'll kill the other guards when I'm finish.” He said.

“They're dead once you finish.” I mocked him, he didn't care and turned to another direction.

Tumigil ako sa pag takbo nang makaalis s'ya. The guards gathered around me, that's perfect. I raised my katana.

It's been awhile since I use this.

“Slice them all.” I gathered power through my katana.

“Death katana!” I whispered.

“Sharp Blade!” Silencer.

I moved my katana around the guards. My movement was slow, is like the time slowed down. Guards are now coming to my direction. I stayed at my spot continuing what I'm doing, I didn't bother to move, with this huge attack they can't dodge it.

SHING

In one swing all of the guards head went flying. They fell on the ground and made some sound. I heave a sigh, the power of my katana are now fading and the gloomy aura are now disappearing. I saw the light of the moon again, when I use my power is like everything is swallowing in the dark, I don't know if I'm the only experiencing this.

“You used it? You used your Ultat.” Silencer was surprised.

I was surprised as well, he got back here real quick.

“Yeah,” I said.

What I did is called an ultimate attack or as we called Ultat, a special kind of attack that we own to ourselves. We can only use it one at a time, everyone can do what I did but they need to be strong to accomplish an ultimate attack. I turned to face him.

“Did I heard something from your side Silencer?” I smirked. Napakamot s'ya sa ulo n'ya.

“You're not the only one who can use an Ultat.” Napailing-iling nalang ako.

Napatingin ako sa mga aso, the dogs are dead. They're not ordinary dogs so it's okay, those dogs can be a harm to others.

“But they seem to be increasing again.” He said.

Dumadami parin ang mga dumadating na bantay sa paligid, pati ang mga malalaking aso. I gaze at my katana, we already used our Ultat so we can't use it again. This will be longer than I thought.

We attacked again.

Then the alarms went off.

“My, my, I have unwanted visitors.”

We heard a voice of a women, there are also speakers connected somewhere. We can't go look for it because of these guards and dogs.

That must be Heather.

“Enjoy playing with my pets, goodbye.”

“Hah! Kahit saan ka mag punta, we'll gonna find you,” Silencer yelled.

“Oh I'm not going anywhere dear, feel free to search around my house, I don't mind.” She giggled, then the speakers turned off.

Napaatras ako dahil sa balang bumaon sa braso ko, I tsked and furiously attacked the one who shot me. Pinugutan ko s'ya ng ulo at sabay atake ng mga nasa paligid ko. Damn! I'm kinda getting exhausted. Even Silencer felt that too.

“You guys need help?” Hackers drones appeared right infront of our faces.

He chuckled while looking at us. We both sarcastically smiled at him while his fighting the urge to mock us.

“You guys go find the women and I'll take care of this,” he said. Without a doubt we left the area. We're done playing, time to look for our target.

Hackers drones started firing laser beams.

“That guy.” Silencer murmured. I chuckled.

As much as we want to kill those goons, we can't take long, we have no choice but to let Hacker take care of them.

We went up the stairs and looked for our targets room.

“Hacker didn't tell us where exactly is Heather's room,” Silencer winced.

I kicked the nearest door beside me.

“Let's just destroy everything,” I said.

Someone's POV

“Hmm hmm~” Heather hummed while sipping in her glass of wine.

At the end of the room where Heather is, she's taking a bath, not minding the loud noises she's hearing outside. She knows very well that she can handle whoever those criminals are.

“Talaga bang hindi ka tatakas? Hindi ka natatakot sakanila?” The secretary of the mayor asked. She is standing right at the edge of the window.

“Why would I?” natatawang tanong ni Heather. The white milk in the tub covered her flawless body.

She thought to herself that she is powerful because of the Lacrimas that the Mayor gave her. Punong-puno ng kapanyarihan ang kwarto n'ya. She can do anything. Kahit pa mag tawag nang napakadaming tauhan mula sa palasyo. And that what she's doing right now. Guards are coming out of the Lacrima that came from the palace, giving her a complacent feeling.

“Then I'll leave now, you have all the Lacrima that you need,” the secretary coldly said.

She made a pair of wings out of the power of her Lacrima and flew away. Heather stared at the secretary flying away.

“Just you wait and see, I will be the most powerful person in this city. Not just that, I with conquer the world!” Heather laughed like a mad women.

Little did she know that there are two pair of eyes watching her.

Swordsman's POV

I shushed Silencer and leaned at the last door that we're gonna open, he did the same. We heard two people talking to each other, my forehead creased.

I opened the door slowly, not creating a single noise. We managed to enter the room. We walk near the bath room where we heard her. Silencer opened the bath room door, we peeked inside.

Ang lakas ng boses ni Heather kaya rinig na rinig namin s'ya, kita naman namin ang kausap n'ya ay naka-tayo sa bintana. Who ever the women is, she sure knows how to balance herself at the thin edge of the window.

After their small talk the women left flying away, then we heard Heather saying something. Lumapit kaming dalawa, our footstep are light, she had no idea that we're standing behind her. She keep laughing and saying how powerful she will become.

Nilingon ko si Silencer, tinuro ko sakanya ang malaking Lacrima sa gilid, guards are slowly coming out, then disappearing from this room. Tumango s'ya at naglakad papunta doon, alam n'ya na ang gagawin.

“You seem happy,” I spoke. She shockingly turned to me.

She gritted her teeth. She was about to do something, maybe she's about to attack me but nothing happened.

“What's going on?” she stared at her hands.

I tilted my head.

“Something wrong?” I grinned.

Nanlilisik ang mata n'yang tinignan ako, nilingon n'ya ang malaking Lacrima na meron s'ya. Nagulat s'ya nang makita si Silencer at ang wasak n'yang Lacrima.

“You—”

I wrapped my hands around her neck and push her down the tub. She was struggling and can't even shout.

“Arrgg!” Napa-daing ako dahil sa kuko n'yang bumaon sa braso ko.

The gun shot still hurts and she even hurt it even more. Damn women with their nails.

I released her, she was about to escape when Silencer cought her. Silencer banged her head on the wall causing her to fell on the tub again, he pinned her down the tub full of fresh milk, taking her life.

Her arms slowly fell on both sides. She's not moving anymore.

We stepped back.

“That was messy,” Silencer commented.

Puno ng dugo ang pader at basa na ang sahig. Even our clothes are wet. I shook my head, of course drowning a person can be messy. If will be easy if we stab her.

But I like taking her life the hard way.

“Let's go, our job is done.” I said.

We left the place.

My hands are in my pocket while we wait for Hacker's automatic car.

“Man I feel great,” I heard Silencer. I chuckled.

The car arrived just in time. We entered and as expected we saw Hacker's hologram.

“Sawang-sawa na talaga ako sa mukha mo Hacker.” I laughed when Silencer said that.

“You have no choice, my handsome face is everywhere.” Hacker said with a straight face.

Silencer frowned. I caressed his back to comfort him, but he shove is away, making me laugh even more.

“Anyway, how's the others doing?” I asked and faced Hacker.

“They're good, I'm just waiting for Biker and Hunter's call, they are not done yet,” He said. We nodded as a response.

Silencer rested his back, while I took some supplies on the side for my wounds and started treating my arm. After finishing I leaned at the window beside me, waiting for us to return to the abandoned factory.
