The scream was anything but normal. Alfie then set off in search of his brother, leaving the old man behind. Alfie ran through the long corridor of the establishment, shouting his brother's name, but no response reached him; it was as if he had disappeared.
Suddenly, he heard a dull thud again, but very different from the first. It was the clanging of metal, and the sound was very close. Alfie rushed forward even faster, his heart pounding extremely hard, and then he arrived at a metal door. It was very different from the other doors he had observed.
This one was made of a special alloy and looked much more modern, more futuristic. He was intrigued by this strange door when suddenly another scream was heard. No doubt, he was behind this door.
Alfie couldn't waste time questioning this door; he had to find Den. He then took two steps back from the door, his right foot and clenched fist forward. His left fist was positioned at his left hip. His feet were slightly bent.
He threw a straight right punch towards the door. The moment his fist made contact with the door, he instantly pulled it back while twisting his hips, preparing to launch his left fist in attack.
His fist was heavy... *Bam*It shattered the door.
It flew into the room. That's where he saw Den sweating, weapon in hand, who turned to him, looking irritated.
"What the hell is wrong with ya?" he yelled at him while rushing towards him. Followed by a horde of menacing-looking robots.
There were about twenty at first glance but could be classified into two categories.
There were big, slower ones with enormous arms, and smaller ones with large legs that were extremely fast.
They charged straight at Den, who was coming towards Alfie. That's when two of the small robots made a big jump towards the two intruders. They were about to reach Den when he turned around like a hurricane, slicing them in two.
Alfie immediately rushed into the room; there were enemies to take down, the rest no longer mattered, and he threw himself into the battle. Instantly, the room, which was white, turned red.
INTRUDERS!
INTRUDERS!
INTRUDERS!
New enemies appeared through hatches in the floor. Alfie, now next to his brother, smiled at him, and they both faced the horde.
"Hey Den, I don't know what's going on, but we have to destroy everything, right?" while plunging into the center of the wave of enemies, followed by his brother.
"The first one to get hit pays for the next meal," he replied while slicing everything in his path.
The horde of enemies was numerous but was no match for this powerful duo. Alfi blocked and dodged every blow with head and hip movements. His footwork allowed him to create space and gain it very quickly thanks to powerful strides, and he finished each opponent with two punches, starting with a right jab followed by a left straight.
As for Alfie, he cut down his opponents with such ease. His katana danced in the wind. With each strike, a perfect cut, and his katana turned red. With each robot eliminated, the temperature increased more and more.
It was no longer a simple game between the brothers. It had now become a massacre.
they were the predators, and their enemies were their prey.
The temperature became unbearable. Metal carcasses littered the floor when suddenly everyone stopped abruptly at a simple voice.
"ENOUGHHHHHH..."
It was the voice of a little girl who had stopped them, the brothers, as well as the few remaining robots. The little girl must have been about ten years old; she wore a white coat and had long orange hair.
She then walked towards the two exterminators, the temperature gradually decreasing. Den sheathed his weapon and slowly approached the little girl, closely followed by a doubtful Alfie.
"YOO Marie!!! What did you think, huh? Are you taking us there? " Den said with a big smile, waving at her.
"You guys did Well, but I didn't say to DESTROY everything, you..." she was immediately grabbed by the old man who was previously with Alfie.
He covered her mouth, preventing her from speaking while she struggled to break free from his grip.
"Den, you were just supposed to avoid the hits, not destroy them," the old man said with a smile while looking at Alfie.
"I see you're in good shape now. Let me introduce myself." He released the little girl, who was choking.
"Hey old man, you trying to kill me or what?" she spat at the old man while catching her breath, then stood up and stood next to the old man, still looking annoyed.
Immediately, the old man spoke, "From today on, all of you are under Marie's supervision."
