Chapitre 8: 8 - torn apart
"Anita.. tell the director that the scene has to be reshot.. the camara angle is to shallow.." Walking from one of the trailers was Kingo, with what seemed to be his assistant, Anita..
"But sir.. we have already reshot this seen countless times.. and the special effects are really expensive.." looking at their discussion it seemed as though Anita wasn't the assistant of Kingo but rather someone working under the director..
"Cost are a secondary concern.. we have to make sure the movie is a hit.. and the better the shots.. the better the movie.." he seemed to wait for Anita to continue..
Looking somewhat defeated Anita replied "..The more money comes in…"
"Exactly.. now.. while you handle that I will be rehearsing.. alone.."
"Of course sir.. I will inform the director.." Anita left Kingo alone.. just like he wanted.. but more importantly just like Dante wanted…
Dante had been observing the conversation while analysing Kingo.. he couldn't determine much without any equipment.. but he could observe the structure of his skin..
There were no signs of aging.. nothing at all, normally people would have some dead skin cells or some hairs left by shaving, but Kingo had nothing of the sort..
Seeing him turn to a desolate area, Dante thought that it was perfect.. almost to perfect..
He had said that he would be going back to his trailer.. but looking at where he was headed towards indicated him actively leaving the area around his trailer.. He could have lied… but why would he… turning the corner where he last saw Kingo he saw that his target was gone… analysing the tracks indicated that he had ran further and disappeared..
Just as he was about to go into the alley he stopped feeling the presence behind him… raising his hands he and turning around he came face to face with his target Kingo, who had gotten behind him..
"Who are you?" Kingo looked suspiciously at Dante.. as a exited smile formed on the other parties face…
"I am so sorry.. it is just.. I am a huge fan, so I…" Dante was all smiles as Kingo lowered his suspicion…
"How did you get in.. didn't security stop you?" Kingo still seemed somewhat confused as to how a fan of his could enter the premises.. if it wasn't fixed that it was possible that more fans would do the same..
"No I managed to climb over a fence without being seen.." Kingo looked exasperated…
"You climbed over the fence.. the tall ones that have barbed wire?"
"Some part was broken so I managed.. anyway.. can I get a autograph?"
"If you report back to the security right after… and please show them the broken part of the fence so they know of it…" He seemed to resign himself.. clearly believing that all this was because of his popularity.. but still somewhat exasperated that it would happened.
"Thank you.. I will.." Dante approaches while seemingly reaching for something in his back pocket.. once he stood close he revealed that nothing was in his hand, launching a devastating punch instead..
The power behind the punch seemed to surprise Kingo as he was forced back.. with the punch even leaving a mark behind on his synthetic skin..
"You don't seem to be a fan… or human.. who are you.. an enemy of Olympus?" Kingo seemed to want to reason before committing to a fight.. if they were seen fighting then it could ruin his current career, forcing him back into hiding for a while until he got a new identity..
"We are quite similar to one another.. but I chose to be this way… you just don't seem to know…" Dante was also stalling… he had assets that the person before him was in fact a supposed eternal.. with Kingo even admitting he was from a place called Olympus..
The energy signal inside of him was strange.. so while they stalled, Dante was analysing the energies properties.. he didn't know of a emp would effect it.. but he knew a emp would effect him..
-
The fight had grinded to a halt immediately after making contact… one was trying to negotiate the other wanted to stall.. making it the perfect scenario for one of the two..
"Why did you attack… I don't think I have made any enemies as of late.." Kingo wanted to negotiate, but it seemed as though the person opposite him wasn't to keen on doing the same… so he prepared a attack in case he lunched at him again..
"Knowledge of course… who better to get that from than from someone who lived for centuries.." Dante had analysed Kingo's body almost completely following the energy around his body, culminating in three spots..
One in the centre and two in his hand… with the energy being tracked he could see… more and more being drawn to his hands… seeing the possible treat approach he began moving sidewards.. trying to get a better position to dive out of the path of any attack…
"What do you really want.. I..!" Something was thrown at him so he stopped talking.. seeing what it was caused shock to fill his eyes right before they were blinded by the flashbang..
Dante was considering throwing a emp grenade… but that could backfire massively if used incorrectly.. but Emp's weren't the only thing he had crafted.. he made X22 flashbangs, F-GX Frag grenades and even CHAR incendiary grenades…
He obviously couldn't bring them on a plane, so he didn't have many of them.. just six, all of which he had crafted by hand before coming here.. even resorting to steal some of the parts he used..
The flashbang had been successful… even if it wasn't the distraction of throwing something that looked like a grenade itself was also useful…
Kingo had closed his eyes, most likely due to the pain from his retina… but being a synthetic being he would surely be opening his eyes any moment… But Dante was counting on that…
Looking at the energy readings revealed not only that Kingo had a unique energy inside of him and where it flowed.. but also shown that his body contained a metallic exoskeleton.. he had seen earlier that his skin was stronger than that of humans.. being almost on parr with the his subdermal armour but something that wasn't protected by the skin were.. his eyes..
-
Kingo was confused.. he had been having a normal day, finished the filming and watched it with the directors assistant as always.. but the moment he walked out into the open he noticed something off…
His heightened senses warned him… but he didn't know what it was.. deciding to find out he left with a excuse and let whatever followed him to a somewhat desolate area so it would reveal itself.. but to his bafflement the thing that gave of that feeling seemed to be a normal human..
The human raised his hands and turned around showing a exited smile he found oddly off.. and exclaimed his excitement upon seeing him… but all had been a trick…leading to the situation he found himself now..
The flashbang hurt… but he would be fine as all of the eternals had a somewhat minor healing factor that was linked to their biology… but the moment he opened his eyes revealed something he didn't want to see. Two fingers hurled toward his eyes with force proportional to that of a gorilla… even if he closed his eyes nothing would prevent them from being shattered by the person that was standing before him…
Kingo knew he could survive if he lived, and his eyes could be regenerated by Ajak, so he poured all his power into his hands trading his eyes for the life of his assailant..
The excruciating pain he received from getting his eyes gouched was comparable to the hardest fight he ever had against a deviant.. Knowing his opponent stood before him he fired and seemingly hit.. feeling that the fingers were gone from his skull and hearing something crash into a wall…
-
'Fucker…' Dante had been hit by a energy laser, that originated from the tips of Kingo's fingers.. from what he could feel his ribs were broken.. but his skin was still intact.. the force of the blow exceeded the piercing power…. His injuries would mend with time.. something that didn't apply to Kingo who was stumbling around… trying to get his phone out of his pocket…
'Does he think that killed me?' Dante got up… he could tolerate the pain inside of his chest and move forwards.. trying to be as quite as possible… he hadn't sneaked in ages.. but to Kingo who had just been injured and was still bewildered and seemed to be paying more attention to getting the right person on the phone…
-
Kingo was breathing heavily.. this was his first time not having his eyes and the possibility of more enemies were possible.. he didn't think his assailant could survive, as his shot could kill a medium sized deviant back in the day.. but as he was trying to get the right number on his phone he heard something move…
"Who is there?!" the fight might have attracted the attention of some of the security.. it wasn't the worst case scenario to be found by them right now… they would likely bring him to the hospital.. but he could get help with contacting Ajak..
No one responded.. and he couldn't hear anything.. not even a breath… 'should I call for help…' Kingo didn't know where Ajak was saved on his phone.. and sadly the humans hadn't brought out any good AI technology that resided on a phone that could assist him…
Just as he was about to continue his thought while trying to use his phone he heard two things fall on each side of him.. with two smaller objects hitting the ground somewhat farther away…
He had heard this before.. but who would… instead of the flashbangs Dante had originally used two grenades exploded on each side of Kingo causing some of his skin to be burned and scratched.. being comparable to damage done against a vehicle…
The force of the two explosions was enough to send him forward making him drop his phone..
-
Kingo was launched before Dante… before the eternal could do anything, Dante stomped on his jaw.. dislocating it and preventing Kingo from speaking properly… cutting out his tong would be more effective… but the blades that he made were of low quality.. likely not able to pierce his skin..
Pocketing Kingo's charred phone, Dante grabbed Kingo by the neck to drag him away… security would likely come any second and find some blood on the ground with some strange pins to.. but nothing that could lead to Dante..
Moving away from the entrance, he searched for a place to exit unseen.. coming upon a somewhat broken gate, he quickly ripped it apart with his strength, and looked at the street that it lead to…
The street seemed to be mostly empty with only trash lining the sides.. All this while Kingo was being dragged along the hold Dante had on him would have broken a normal persons neck.. but Kingo seemed fine.. except for his confusion and distorted sense of awareness…
Kingo tried to resist, as painful as it was for him he still needed to try and shoot his assailant, but the moment he gathered energy to shoot was the moment his arms were snapped.. Dante had noticed what Kingo was trying to do and ripped the joints connecting his exoskeleton apart.. causing Kingo to be unable to move his forearms or aim his powers…
Anyone who would see Kingo now would be shocked, he looked nothing like he normally was… having messy and burned hair paired with scratches and burn marks all over his body.. tattered clothing that only one having nothing else would wear.. that paired with having no eyes on top of his arms dangling beside him..
Internally he wasn't much better off.. he doubted if he would even survive, or if his team would even find him, a dead body or a broken person after the assailant who captured him was finished with his body…
The doubts were torturous causing something to snap… breaking his awareness of time.. until he was woken up from this dream…
