"TYLER!!!" Paisley yelled
Tyler twirled his fingers and Paisley was inside a crystal sphere. The secretary lunged at the hand of the communicator.
"No can do." Tyler went
The watch was surrounded by a cube and entered into his body. The women looked at Tyler in shock and disbelief.
"Your precious watch is here. Come get it." Tyler frowned sticking his tongue out
The watch's surface appeared in the middle of his tongue. They ground their teeth and looked in between Tyler and his dome.
"You want to kill everyone here?" The secretary went " That's murder, Mister Detective."
A smile finally came over Tyler's face. He let out a haughty laugh as triangles sprung out of the ground towards them.
They scattered in different directions. Megan ducked into the shadows to tie up her forearm that poured out blood while The secretary stood in front of Tyler.
"What's funny?" she frowned holding her gun to Tyler
Tyler replied, "The kettle is calling the pot black."
She answered, "He had to die. He wo-"
"Wouldn't work with you so became a threat?" Tyler interrupted " Nothing wrong with the survival of the fittest."
"What?" The secretary exclaimed finding Tyler holding her shoulders
He whispered into her ear, "After all...that's how you survived."
She pushed back her elbow and stabbed herself into the triangle that housed Tyler's reflection. She finally unleashed her murky energy and Tyler's eyes honed in on her. She swiped her gun forward to Tyler and fired.
BANG
A scream came and she saw she shot Megan in the left thigh. Tyler was holding her up so she doesn't slump to the floor. The secretary sprinted behind Tyler but hit another reflection. She supported Megan's body and held her close.
"Your friends will die!!" The secretary informed
Tyler's voice echoed, "Guess we'll see what's stronger. My crystal or your bomb?"
Tyler materialised in front of Megan, The secretary threw her ally aside and shot him in the forehead. Blood dripped down his face as he looked at her with a serious expression.
His lips curled up into a smile, "Good shot."
"DIE!!!" The woman hollered blasting more bullets into his body
Tyler began moving forward and she was forced back. He clutched the gun with her fingers and forced the muzzle up his chin, "Try again, you might succeed?"
"WHAT ARE YOU!!" The woman shrieked throwing her gun away
She coated her arm with energy and Tyler finally dodged. He evaded her advances and was moving back now.
"I don't know anymore but I'm not as worried as you are," Tyler told
The secretary's energy grazed Tyler's arm and his face winced in pain. She compelled her energy to make a wall behind and around Tyler. She maxed out the aura in her arm and advanced at full speed.
She felt her arm penetrate flesh, organs and bone. The secretary looked up and her blood ran cold.
"M...mi...ss." Megan went before dying
Tyler had pushed Megan into the attack and watched with a tilted head. He shrugged, "So close."
"What do you want?" The secretary frowned with anger in her eyes
Tyler's voice whispered in her ears, "Just information."
"NEVER! I WOULD RATHER DIE!" The secretary reacted
"I know." Tyler frowned "So I'll kill you."
Megan's body turned into a three-dimensional heart crystal and floated into Tyler's hands. A large smile extended over his lips and The secretary's eyes bulged out seeing pictures appearing in the crystal.
"....No," she said weakly
"Megan wasn't in a very high position in the organization." Tyler shrugged as his eyes focused on the memories
The secretary bolted to the exit. Tyler clicked his tongue and made all the triangles pursue after her.
"You're not getting away from me." Tyler's voice echoed in her ears
She eluded the triangles in any way possible until she reached the edge of the dome. A cone shot out of the dome and stabbed her shoulder. She poured her energy into the dome and Tyler slumped to his knees.
He coughed up blood as the two opposing energies reacted negatively to each other. Tyler strained to look up at The secretary as the triangles continued their route to her. The secretary pushed her hand into the barrier.
The two energies began to repel each other, resulting in an opening through the dome's surface. The secretary had no time to remove her shoulder from the cone.
She bit her lower lip as she pushed her shoulder into the cone and pulled her body to remove her arm.
"Crazy." Tyler gasped
She drove through the crack she made and ran into the forest. Tyler sighed and twirled his fingers.
"WAIT!!"
Tyler turned his gaze to its source. The Boss looked at him with rage in his eyes.
"You're alive?" Tyler wondered, recalling what had happened in that stronghold. "How? Wait I don't have time for this."
Everyone alive teleported outside the dome. Tyler had contained the explosion with a wall of crystal and now he has released it. The explosion that followed blew everything to smithereens from what Tyler saw.
He released his teammates from their shapes.
"Wow...you lost her," Rafael smirked
Tyler responded, "I didn't get her memory fragments but she won't last long."
"You're as evil as ever." Paisley sighed
Tyler shrugged, "Isn't the emotion and the rush one of the best things about a hunt? Naturally....the kill follows."
The secretary slumped into the arms of an ally and looked horrified. She stared into the man's eyes.
"Monster..." she began
She froze as spikes of all sizes popped out of her entire body and blood dripped down. Tears ran down her eyes as she died.
"Get information on what happened in the Resistance Stronghold." He ordered the people around him
A subordinate frowned, "We can't, Sir. I don't know when but....all the cameras were jammed. No images or sounds can be retrieved from what happened."
"Damn it." he snarled "....Bury her and return to base."
"Yes, sir," they responded
The man thought, "I'll find this 'monster' before they ruin the plan."
Tyler looked into Megan's memory fragments as Paisley patched up his wounds.
"Really, Tyler?" she frowned
Tyler was silent looking through the memories and his eyes turned to her. She felt a chill in the room as they stared at each other in silence.
His eyes returned to normal and he smiled, "Are you done yet, Pais?"
"What was that?" she thought trying to act normally
Tyler noticed the change but decided to ignore it to get as much information from the fragments. He knew something was changing within him but what choice did he have? It was survival of the fittest.
