Weeks pass by. knowing these two more and more, gaining their trust.
Something doesnt sit right with marsh tho.
He's always silent. like he's planning.
is he alright? he hasn't responded in a few days through our group chat, we did meet in person before he just gone off and got us worried. maybe stuff has happened and he wants to take a break so i just leave him alone. i dont wanna budge into his personal problems but also my curiosity is killing me.
i look down at the hallway in my apartment and see a dark figure at the end of the hallway.
eyes full of fear as i rush towards my room and lock myself in, hearing its footsteps rapidly closing in on me. almost inhuman, i look outside as it was nighttime confused because i swore it was broad daylight like an hour ago.
the screaming, the scratching and the banging got me absolutely horrified at that moment before a gunshot was heard.
my body was completely frozen. the door was unlocked or rather the bullet broke the locking mechanism as he barged in.. or rather her...
this woman broke in my goddamn room for what?
she aimed her gun at my head and spoke softly.
"im sorry.. you cant live anymore like this marcus, the failed experiment"
"now what kinda fucking dramatic shit are you on about miss?" i said to her as she pulls the trigger.
MISSING A POINT BLANK SHOT! DUDE HOW-
my brain got confused, how did she miss a big ass target but behind her was marsh. now everything makes sense.
"killing marcus but not me huh? you are worthless to delta." he said as he proceeds to chop her up into minced meat.
guts,eyes,skin literally everything was cut to absolute pieces of meat in just a second.
then he lunged at me and covered my mouth knowing i'd scream
he then teleported us to his place and placed me on his bed
"they are aiming for you.. well us actually and nacia does NOT know about it. dont tell her" he whispered into my ear.
i look straight into his eyes in absolute confusion as i softly speak back
"But why? we havent done anything..you just killed a girl."
he slapped me across the face and stared at me
"do you understand we werent supposed to be alive? we were brought back by a highly intelligent entity. they want us dead but they think BULLETS CAN KILL US" He said angrily.
"They are trying to cover their mistakes and we are the only ones fighting back, we cant let them win marcus."
he continued. he knows a bit too much so i asked a critical question.
"Are you part of delta?"
"Was... shot down because i escaped their little pseudo dimension expecting me to die but came back alive so they thought i was an entity. now i am to them.. a real Entity they shouldnt FUCK with" he responded
"we need nacia QUICK" i said to him but he stopped me.
"Nacia is fine. we dont wanna cause her trouble dude"
he said as he stopped me from moving.
"Why cant you just let me help her?" i say to him.
"Okay wanna know the truth? She's dead." he said to me.
hearing the news i was shocked but then i realized.. she tried to kill me back then.....
"You're telling me that was NACIA?!" i yelled.
"That was not nacia but her friend, she is a commander at delta force" he spoke up.
"How the hell did she die then?" i responded.
Apparently nacia has been backstabbed by her friend who is in delta force because she was hanging out with us but my rage consumed me as i looked at him pissed as all hell.
"So we got backstabbers... i wanna rip their goddamn heads and stick em to a pole" i spoke bitterly. images of the squad getting torn apart makes my body boil to my core. he looked like i understood his rage throughout this entire mess.
"You're like me now kid. lemme tell ya, tonight we go break necks and cut em up. got any hyper abilities?" he said to me.
"I can shoot, jump high. uhh punch really hard" i said to him
"weak. you havent unlocked your full potential but dont worry i'll train ya to be a killing machine.. to protect people and to bring justice to those who try to silence us" he said patting my shoulder.
Determined i get up and look at him
"Clone yourself. i wanna see how powerful i can get"
i say to him, instantly nodded and cloned himself. i didnt expect him to actually clone but here i am.
i aim my finger at its head and bang. the clone poofed from the damage.
"Aim training, Muscle training and Leveling up." he said taking notes.
and thus we have our little training routine.
his trick was cloning himself and keeping himself on his toes. reacting faster than a normal human and that gave me an idea...
"clone me while i try to kill them" i say to him.
"Huh, dont say i didnt warn you if you get hurt" he said as he rapidly cloned me. keeping myself on the edge as i take them down slowly but surely at the same pace as he was.
"you got potential kid. dont lose your momentum" he said to me feeling proud of his method working.
"here's one thing you're missing though. you are still slow at it and you have to be more accurate. aim for the head next time" he mentioned
