Chapter 5

Logan felt the kick of skill upgrade and new skill unlocked in his body. At the same time he heard the ping of the instant effect it was doing to his body and awareness. His senses sharpened. He scanned the training area with a different vision.

He took in the fight going on in the sand ring in front of him a few feet away. He knew it was just about over. It was all a show neither male slave was trying to hurt the other. They were assigned to showcase what the youths would be learning in the coming months.

Logan noticed Sargent Jai give both combatants a look with a nod of his head. On cue one the slave swung around using his sword to push his combatant back with wind magic. The other slave was thrown out of the ring turned using the sword he stabbed the ground with wind magic. The slave launched himself up from the force of the punch and he did a backflip onto his feet.

Logan smiled as he took in the show of magic and skill. It was magic he had seen before in another life. He studied both men with new senses and eyes and recalling the events and both men’s mastery in wind magic. He analyzed the fight and digital numbers appeared over their heads. Indicating. Level 150 wind magic was the number of the man inside the ring. The man outside the ring had a level 260 wind magic above his head.

Logan blinked and numbers disappeared. He grinned. As he realized only a few seconds had passed as he had used his new skill and added on to his plan.

Both Slaves turned and bowed to Sargent Jai. Jai laughed clapping his hands as the others followed suit and they cheered for the two slaves. Logan was quiet though.

Sargent Jai then turned back to his group of trainees. “Wind combat magic is what you will come to learn and master here along with many other things. Your lessons will begin tomorrow. Today we will go through magical placement and then we dine together here. The king has prepared a fine feast for you all to enjoy. Who is first to be tested in what class you should fit in?” He said and looked at Logan expectantly and gave him a friendly smile.

Logan stared. “Marksman is my class and trade. I entertain females as my hobby.” He said.

Sargent Jai stared at him. “King Harold expressed as much to me. Though that your talents of magical healing would serve the group better. You will be trained by our support healer soldiers. You could do well for a bit of wind magic training if you have the skill for it.” He said.

Logan ignored Sargent Jai disregarding him as he walked past him to the slave wing magic user staring at him. Logan nodded to him. “You’re pretty damn good at what you do. I’m Logan Jones. I’m a Marksman. What’s your name?” He said.

The slave frowned but he nodded to Logan. “Trigger of Heights. What is a Marksman class?” He asked.

The other slave next to him laughed. “Sounds like a lot shit to me. He most be a throw away archer or something.” He laughed in Logan’s face.

Logan waved a hand at the wood sword in Trigger’s hand. “Do you need that?” He asked.

Trigger frowned glancing back over Logan’s shoulder at Sargant Jai. Logan saw Jai give a stiff nod.

Trigger handed it to Logan. “You can have it for practice.” He said.

Logan took the wood sword examined it and then he waved it expertly before he pointed the blade at a practice dummy a few feet away. The wood blade glowed for a second and then blue magic launched out from the blade. The blue magic raced quickly for the dummy and exploded on impact.

There was long silence as Logan smiled. As he held a glowing blue blade sword. “Marksman class means I blow shit up with magic. That wind magic trick you did with your sword. Can you teach me how to do that?” He said.

Chapter 3

Logan noticed a sudden pause in Harold’s speech. He glanced out the side of his eye to see Harold paying a close attention and focus on Darla. Logan let go of Darla’s hand to the small of her back casually guided her to the crowd.

Harold started up with his speech again. Logan paid little focus on it. It was background noise and flowery words meant to tug on the youth around them. Logan felt the tug of the magic Harold used in his voice attempting to work on him. He purposely turned his focus away. He looked at Darla. He noticed her scent. She smelled of fresh air and woods.

Darla was watching him though he knew she was still aware of everything Harold was saying. She had advanced hearing along with other natural enhancements. He stared at her with open interest.

“You are playing a game with me?” She said using a private soft voice. Her right eye brow raised though. “Are you using me to whet your interests?” She said already suspecting him of more then a sexual interest in him.

Darla was sharp to suspect he was up to something. She was a key element in his plan. The game was played against him from day one he got here. This time he was going to play his own game. He was aware of a few eyes looking at him and Darla.

“When man finds a woman on your world to be his woman. What do they call that relationship on your world?” Logan asked her.

Darla frowned at him and she shook her head. “Relationship?! What does this word mean. What does this have to do with sex?” She said.

Logan smiled. “What do you call a man that has sex with a woman continuously?” He said.

Darla’s cheeks flushed but she stared at him seriously. “A female would be his slave or his mate but there is no difference in my realm. Are you attempting to make me your slave? I thought you just wanted sex?” She said.

Logan grinned. “You know I think I kind ah like you’re world operates.” He said with a chuckle.

“YOU! FACE ME!” Harold said in a commanding voice of magic. Logan turned on his heel and faced the attention of Harold’s deep magical focus. “State your name and class. Hero.” He said to Logan forcing compliance from him. Harold’s eyes glowed intently with a striking impact of magical energy.

Logan couldn’t lie. It was a truth tell. A spell Harold used on Logan many times before and the others to find out the truth. He focused his mind on what he did in his home world. He had been trained and educated from the time he was ten in marksmanship and hunting. He thought about the competitions he entered won and lost. His family had been soldiers, hunters and tradesman. “Logan Jones. Marksmen is my job class. Entertaining women is my leisure time.” He said and got some laughter at the end of his words from the youths.

Harold snorted shaking his head and blinked freeing Logan from the spell. Logan rolled his shoulders as he stared at Harold now.

Harold’s magical eyes still glowed with power but amusement was in them as well directed Logan now. “Well Marksman. Are you trained in any other weapons besides firearms and such?” He asked and punched a little magic in his words at the end to make it a command.

Logan felt punch but he was able too keep on his feet and keep his mind focused. “My people taught me to use all kinds of weapons in combat. I also have a talent for using many kinds of magic.” He said.

Logan could see the interest in Harold’s golden magical eyes now. The wizards behind him as well were perked up with interest at Logan now. “Healing magic. That can be very useful in heroes group. Do you have talents in that?” Harold asked.

Logan shrugged. “A little bit here and little bit there. It depends on what you’re paying me.” He said and got a shocked silence afterward.

Harold stared at him in surprise. “You have been called to be a hero for this land. A fated savior for the good people of Grim OLD. A land of peace and-” Harold said but he stopped when Logan opened his mouth wide and yawned. Harold’s wide eyes and face showed shocked amusement.

Logan waved a hand. “Ah yeah. Mr. King. I don’t give a damn about that shit. I’ll do the job you called me here to do. I just got a small fee for it and I’ll fit into the position you want. I don’t work for free.” He said.

Harold stared at him. His eyes glowed staring at Logan scanning his body and then he nodded at Logan. “What is your small fee?” He asked.

Logan nodded. “I want knowledge on light and fire magic. That’s my fee.” He said.

Harold seemed to relax visibly and even smiled as he nodded his head. “Indeed. You will be given that training more then enough training. We have combat teachers that will help you.” He said.

Logan shook his head. He knew already knowing where Harold was trying to screw him over again for a second time. The trainers wouldn’t teach him shit or give him the skills needed for his plan. “No that’s not what I mean. I want books and space and time to get myself ready for whatever job you called us here to do. Respectfully I’ve already have training from experienced warriors and such.” He said.

Harold looked a little annoyed but laughed it off. “It must be a miscommunication between us or you are not hearing me clearly. I said you would get what you combat teachers that will help you onward in your destiny. Enough talk. Your teachers are at the door and will lead in education and training.” He said a little bit more heatedly with smile. The crowd seemed to calm and smile at his face.

Logan knew it was the magical charm he was using on them. Logan shrugged seeing this conversation going a direction he didn’t care to go.

He ignored Harold as he stared at the wizards behind Harold. His gaze focused on a wizard staring at him.

Logan remembered him. The wizard had a position he held in the castle library. A plan formed in his head as a smile curved his lips. He looked at Harold to see him studying Logan very closely not smiling now.

Logan turned to Darla and putting his arm around the back of her hips. He then started guiding her to the crowd meeting at the exit. Darla frowned at him not saying anything at how casual he had taken to leading her around. Logan saw Princess Jasmine wave at him and give a pretty smile. She stood among the kidnapped youths waiting for him.

“Do you care if I have a mate already?” Darla asked in a light tone that implied she didn’t care much herself. She was just asking a question.

Logan shook his head staring at her face. “None whatsoever. Why should I? You want me. I want whole bunch of you so nobody else should matter at all between us but a good time. You smell very nice.” He said smoothly.

Darla moved closer. “Thank you!” She said softly.

Chapter 34

Beau was sitting in his wheelchair as he was being pushed inside Martin’s office by Jessica. Ryu and Angel were walking behind them silently. Martin had his back to them and he was standing facing his office window looking out over the city. He had his jacket off and lay on his messy desk. Martin’s hands were clasped behind his stiff straight back.

Beau held up a hand stopping Jessica from pushing his wheelchair any further. “What’s the situation looking like with the normal’s leader? What do they want?” He asked.

Martin laughed. It sounded forced and a little nervous to Beau.

Martin shook his head and sighed. “Well brother to be honest it’s not looking good. Not looking good at all. I’m sure Jessica told you a bit of the situation that is building up. They want you back in the core to run and lead special team supers units. They’re kicking themselves for letting you go I would guess.” He said.

Beau shook his head. “You mean they want to take me to the lab again. I expect they want to break open my body to see what secrecy they didn’t find the last several times.” He said with edge to his voice.

Martin was quiet. “Are you joking or did that really happen?” He said calmly.

Beau shrugged. “I have a high tolerance to pain. It was before the new laws were passed. They used the time to get me to make shit for them. It is what it is. It’s not your fault brother.” He said.

“Ryu!” Martin said.

“He’s not lying. They opened him up like can of beans and dug into his body between making him make weapons. He went crazy after they broke him.” Ryu said behind Beau.

Beau snorted looking back at Ryu. “You are being a very dramatic little kid about it. I knew what I was getting into and I won. They didn’t get what they wanted and I got to see my people survive. I won.” He said.

Ryu shook his head at Beau. “Your fucking insane.” He said.

“Shut the fuck up, Ryu!” Martin said in a sharp cold tone. “You’ll mean your find fucking your tongue when you’re talking to my brother or I’ll cut it out.” He said.

Beau snorted as Ryu paled at Martin’s sharp words. “You’re not as much of bad ass as you think are kiddo.” He said to Ryu and then he looked at Martin’s stiff back. “Brother. Things will get messy for our people if I stay here. These people don’t give a fuck about sending our own kind against us. I’m willing and able too keep on fighting but not at the cost of what you’ve built here.” He said.

Martin was quiet. “Give me some time to work this out brother.” He said.

Beau sighed. “Martin. I can disappear if they’re hard up on having an experimental rabbit again. You don’t have to-” He said but stopped.

Martin turned around and sung his fist down breaking his desk in half with his fist. He glared at Beau before his face relaxed slowly. He smiled at him. “Just give me some time. I know what will happen if you run. They’ll find and then they’ll finally break you and won’t leave anything for us to bury or give your family. I heard your sister came to see you here once. You need to think about reconnecting with your family brother. Family is everything.” He said.

Beau sighed. “Alright. Alright. You handle it.” He said.

“I need your word on it brother.” Martin said.

Beau nodded. “Of course. You got my word. I’ll let you handle them. I won’t do anything until you resolve it how ever way you can.” He said.

Martin nodded and straightened up. “Thank you brother. Your trust in this means everything to me. ” He said.

A sound went off in Beau’s jacket pocket. Suddenly, Beau was standing on newly made metal legs. He turned putting his back to Martin and extended out his hand. Blue electrical energy blasted from his hand striking an invisible enemy. The electrical blasts continued until a blue creature with bat like wings lay on the floor visible. Her small breasts were bare as was the rest of her body. She was naked but for a pair knee high boots.

“Beau Lucas. I should have expected you would get stronger.” The creature said and then spat at Beau.

Beau chuckled. “Nicole Jones. Fancy you here love. It’s been some time. Your still full of surprises. It wasn’t smart of you coming here. But then again you were never strong in that field at least.” He said.

“Bastard!” Nicole spat at him.

Ryu stood with his back to Jessica and pushed her back away from the creature. “Who the fuck is this bitch. A friend of yours?” He said.

“I know who she is.” Martin said coldly.

Martin moved in front of Beau with a pistol in his hand. He glared down at the creature. “She worked for me at one point back in the past as spy and assassin. You took a big risk coming here to kill us.” He said.

Nicole snickered and came to her feet in one flowing motion. She wasn’t hurt. “I didn’t come here to kill you Vlad. I came here to convey a message to you from the sisters. Your over reaching into their market. It’s time you walked away before you and legless over here get pushed out of the way.” She said.

“The Sisters!” Martin said in a cold tone. “Really?! Well I think it’s time I sent a message to your bosses.” He said.

Beau touched Martin’s shoulder. “Easy, brother. I don’t like this.” He said.

Martin froze. “What are you thinking? A trap of some kind.” He asked.

Beau frowned at Nicole who was grinning at him. “If she’s working for the sisters then you know they’re working a angle with her even being here. They know us to well and they’re working their powers on this situation to fuck us over. Let her go. I have to get to work on the security system fast and upgrade our defenses. Killing her would only work to their plan.” Beau said.

“The fuck!? Let her go. The fuck you say. Kill this bitch.” Ryu said.

Martin sighed. “Nicole get your ass out of here. I got your message. I’ll move how I want to and when I want too. Fuck off.” He said.

Nicole laughed. “You’ve changed letting other people think for you.” She said pushing him.

Beau snorted and then he brought out a device and flashed a beam of light on Nicole. She screamed a few seconds and then she was gone. Martin looked at him. “Did you kill her!” He asked in a tone without judgment or care.

Beau shook his head. “I just sent her away from here. It’s something I’ve been working on it’s still in the experimental trial stage. I’ll get to the lab and start work on security upgrades. You’ll need to think of something quickly brother. If the sisters are getting this direct with their attacks we’re short on time to react.” He said.

Martin nodded putting away his pistol in his holster. “What do you suggest line of thinking I take?” He asked.

Beau grimaced shaking his head. “Think of something outside of the box of your normal thinking. I’ll work to enhance your idea any way I can.” He said and then looked at the communicator of homeworld attached to Martin’s dress shirt pocket. He pointed to the pin. “Homeworld. That’s an interesting name for a company. Why did you come up with that name?” He said.

Martin frowned shaking his head but then froze. He nodded his head. “I have to do some thinking and talk to some people. I think I know what your getting at but the plan will require planning and timing.” He said.

Chapter 8

Two months later…

Beau waited until for half an hour in abandoned car until it was safe to move out in the night. He eased out of the SUV with his rifle case and made sure to keep his hoodie up just in case someone saw him. He checked his wrist watch to see that he was running late. He brought the watch close to his mouth. “Scan area for enemies.” He said.

The glowed for a second and then energy echoed out expanding around him. He looked down on as a digital screen expanded out and showed him a map of the area red and blue dotes moving around.

The there was a building marked in green as the place he had to head to. He quickly waved away digital image and started moving adjusting his rifle carrying case as he crept soundlessly through the empty streets that where abandoned and looted cars remained.

He made half way to the building he had been asided to go to before he watched alerted him to an enemy attack. He turned in to a crutch and shot the enemy. He got off one round as a shot hit his head sending him down to the ground at the same his round went into the chest of the woman.

He lay on the ground motionless and waited as he felt his wrist watch alerting by vibrations that he had several other enemies around.

“Maddy? You alright?” A male voice called out to the female on the ground.

“Shit. Yeah. Asshole caught me lucky his shitty bullet caught my body armor. I got him. The sisters are going to pay us big for his Tecnomancer’s head.” Maddy said.

“You sure it’s him?” The male asked her.

“It’s him. Stop being a pussy and take his head off. I’ll grab his weapons afterwards. He might be able to some of his powers if we can cut him and eat him. Get to it Tom. Time is no on our side. We got to get back to the sisters before day break.” Maddy said.

“Yeah. I think’s going to taste good.” The male voice the said coming close Beau.

When he was close enough. Beau sprang to his feet and shot the man in the head. He turned as the Maddy started running away really fast. Beau took aim and shot her in the back of the head.

Beau then put away his pistol and picked up his rifle case and started for the building quickly moving to make up for time. He got inside the business and found the stairway fast. He started running fast and taking leaps up flights of stairs at a time until he got to the door of the penthouse suit and roof.

He started his step. He began to put his rifle together piece. Until it was complete and ready to go. He lay down on his belly and took aim where his target was set to be. He didn’t have to wait long. His target Vlad the gangster ruler of the east side gang was up already as the day broke doing his exercises.

Beau looked through his sniper scope at his target as he performed a martial arts routine. He was on the mark. The man was naked form the waist down with grey sweat pants on. His feet was bare as he moved on the roof top of the penthouse he and his gang had taken over.

Young children played around him outside the training area he had in the center of the roof top. Beau took his hand off the trigger and put his rifle down. He couldn’t believe it had come down to this shit. He couldn’t do. He had done a lot of shit over the past two months that turned his stomach over just to protect the people that were trapped in the prison island that New York City had become sense the government had locked it down two and half months ago.

He was tired of this shit. There had to be a way around this shit. He needed to have a meeting with the team. They had to find a way to end the lockdown and get their people out.

“Are you starting to turn in to a pussy?” A female voice said behind him.

Beau turned and he couldn’t help smiling at the curvy female dressed in all black with full head mask around covering her face. Her thick black hair came out the back end of her mask in a ponytail.

She had a military utility belt around her wide hips and sword behind her back. He nodded to her. “What’s going on gorgeous? You had fun staring at my ass for last for minutes.” He said.

“Sure did.” Artemis said just as smoothly. “You were supposed to take Vlad out today. You getting soft.” She said.

Beau shook his head turning fully toward her. “I take him what happens to his gang? What happens to his children?” He said.

“Hmm. We’ve talked about that. The children would come to us and Doctor E would handle taking care of them.” She said.

Beau shook his head. “You missed the first half of my round of questions. Vlad maybe a gangster and a son of bitch but he’s stabilised a lot of the violence in this city so far. Killing him what happens to the bastards under him that he’s keeping in check.” He said.

Artemis shrugged. “His son could take over or his second in command. There are people to step up. We have to terminate him. We all agreed to this and it is apart of Doctor E’s plan to end the block aid.” She said.

Beau shook his head. “It doesn’t feel right. Vlad isn’t a monster. I’ve had to put down a lot of them a lot of them over the past couple of weeks worse or unstable. It doesn’t make sense to get rid of him and you and me both know that his elder son won’t take over. The grim sisters would just kill him and his family and take over this section of New York City and grow their power.” He said.

Artemis shook her head at him. “He isn’t all that much of a good man as you think he is. He had two of his best come hunting for you.” She said.

“I’m not doing this anymore. We’re only spiralling into a cycle of taken out one enemy just to make room for another and there something else.” Beau said.

Artemis stared at him. “We have a tradior in our camp.” She said.

Beau nodded. “I can hide anything from a mind reader.” He said.

Artemis nodded. “Okay. We need to get in contact with the outside world now and figure out a plan to make them deal with us so they can get the others out.” She said.

I snapped my fingers and pointed at her. “Bingo.” He said.
