“Officer Dave of the anti-blessed malefactor corps, here,” The super soldier ahead of his comrades remarked as he addressed Zack. “Zack Isaac, prepare to be eliminated.”

  “Aw, hell nah,” Trading eyes with the squad of super soldiers, Zack took the business decision to turn the opposite direction.

  “H-Hey!” The agents of the military watched with shock as Zack darted away in an athlete form, the sky screaming continuously as multiple thunderous sonic booms burst forth. “Oh, this bastard!”

  As it was the obvious thing to do, the super soldiers gave chase towards their target, also devastating the area with sonic booms.

  Damn, how the hell did I get found by these bastards again!? Well, I guess I wasn’t the most under the radar with all the shit I did. Zack pondered as he traversed the residential area. But they chose now to come at me!?

  As he ran, Zack looked back at the super soldiers chasing him. There was a decent gap between both sides.

  Whatever…I’m not the same as I was back then, thanks to the extra super soldier serum dose. Zack continued. Though it looks like these guys are faster than the soldiers who attacked the Blueblood organization…except for one of course.

  Hounding Zack - that was what the super soldiers focused on as they zoomed throughout the area. They hunted him, but there was an occurrence which raised eyebrows.

  “Huh? Isn’t this guy too friggin fast!?” Dave yelled. “How the hell is he outpacing us!?”

  “I thought this guy was just a scrub,” Another super soldier remarked.

  “Tsk, split up and try to cut off his route!” Dave ordered and the super soldiers wasted no time, doing just that as his allies took different streets and routes, with some even hopping on the houses themselves. “You may be a fast rat, but you’re not getting away.”

  Zack had focused his efforts on escaping, instantly taking numerous turns and different routes. His efforts were rather effective as the gap between him and Dave grew, but that was what the super soldiers gambled on. It wasn’t until Zack had looked back once more and saw Dave on his lonesome, did he realize the issue.

  “Oh shit–” Zack remarked as a super soldier came from an alleyway, cutting his path off and delivering a right hook. With his inhuman reflexes, Zack threw his arms in front of his face, blocking the enemy’s strike. The weight behind the punch had launched Zack into a poor civilian’s home. Of course running around wouldn’t be that easy.

  “AAAHHHHHH!!!” As if it were reflex, the civilian screamed as Zack blasted through the concrete walls. He never even looked at her as he dashed deeper into the home. The super soldier followed suit as he leaped through the hole created by Zack.

  Zack had zoomed throughout the house, immediately traversing the passageways of different rooms and finally the kitchen, before jumping straight through the concrete, making his departure.

  “Stop friggin running!” The super soldier yelled as he followed Zack’s tracks, leaving through the exact same hole. Upon leaving the civilian’s home, he was greeted nicely - two knives soaring through the air towards the super soldier.

  Kitchen Knives!? The super soldier pondered with surprise as they approached. That’s freaking nothing–

  BOOM!

  With a shimmer of orange light momentarily emanating from the blades, the kitchen tools erupted into two explosions in front of the super soldier’s face, who reflexively shielded himself with his arms.

  Tsk, he made them explode!? The super soldier pondered as he flinched from the blasts, the light and the smoke generated from the explosion obscuring his vision.

  BAM!

  While he was caught up from the recoil of the mini explosions, Zack had immediately closed the distance with a right hook.

  Ugh! He used those knives as feints!? The super soldier pondered as he barely blocked the strike, but Zack never let up. Zack followed up with a combination of strikes, attempting to pummel his face and upper body.

  S-Shit! He’s not that good at fighting, but why is this bastard so damned fast!? With genuine frustration dripping off his face, the super soldier struggled as he was barely able to block Zack’s attacks. And why does…he hits so…hard–

  BAM!!

  With his reaction speed failing him, Zack struck the super soldier squarely in the jaw with a haymaker. His jaw was unable to maintain its structure as the glove on Zack’s hand released an explosion upon impact after glowing.

  “Ugh!” Zack received no leeway as Dave caught up, smacking him across the top of his head with his knuckles. Leaning over from the strike, another one of Dave’s allies caught up and delivered a side kick to Zack’s side and knocked him away.

  “Johnny, shit!!!” Witnessing his ally sprawled on the ground, his jaw blown apart into a bloody mess of mush and bone, Dave yelled in anger. “This goddamned bastard!”

  Recovering quickly from the off guard strikes he sustained, Zack defaulted to running again.

  Tsk, I can’t let these assholes gang up on me! Zack pondered as he ran. Gotta pick them off one by one–

  Interrupting his train of thought, Zack perceived a heavy stimulus pressing on his side and forcing him through yet another building. This was thanks to yet another one of Dave’s allies, who read the new route Zack took.

  “Gotcha, you damn bastard!” The super soldier yelled as he threw punches while over Zack. The impacts of the strikes on Zack’s forearms which he tossed up to shield himself sent tremors throughout the infrastructure, even causing damage to the outside surroundings. “You’re dead, you co–”

  Not letting him finish, Zack had caught not only his right arm, but also wrapped his other hand around the super soldier’s neck.

  Tsk, it’s so hard to focus my thoughts while fighting because all I’m thinking about is drugs! Zack pondered with frustration on his face, his gloves shimmered with light as he held the super soldier like a rabid dog. I’m just getting hit for no reason!

  I can’t…break his grip! The super soldier pondered as he awaited his death with terror in his eyes. His allies entered the infrastructure, only for the house to be torn apart from an explosion. Like ragdolls, they were launched.

  “Damn it! How the hell are we having trouble with him!?” Dave yelled as he recovered himself with his ally, gazing at the smoke which rose up from the rubble of the house. He then shifted his gaze on Zack, who slipped into a nearby alleyway. “Tsk, you’re not getting away.”

  I just took down two super soldiers, then there’s Dave with the one who kicked me over there. Zack muttered. Now where the hell are the other two?

  Upon exiting the alleyway on the opposite side, Zack was greeted to an SUV rocketing towards him. Though he caught it, the force of the vehicle turned projectile crashed Zack and itself into yet another home.

  “AAAHHHHHHHH!!!” The screams of the homeowner, already hiding under their table in fear of the explosive sounds and earthquake like tremors, immediately became audible as Zack crashed through their walls with the car.

  Witnessing the explosion of terror unfold as the homeowner ran deeper into their home, and seeing the other two super soldiers he was worrying about closing in on him, Zack followed close behind the civilian.

  “Get over here!” Zack aggressively yelled as he grabbed hold of the civilian in what seemed to be a bedroom, his gloves shimmering. Anticipating their approach, Zack preemptively tossed the panicked civilian towards the bedroom door.

  “Ugh! Huh!?” Entering the bedroom with the civilian being thrown into their paths, the super soldiers ceased their movement with confusion. Their confusion slowly morphed into fright as Zack’s gloves became a light source in the room.

  BOOM!

  Zack ravaged yet another house, the blast disfiguring the nearby environment and even tossing vehicles.

  “A-A monster…” The last ally of Dave muttered with shock as they both took cover from the blast and the strong air gusts.

  “A…Ahh! H-Help,” Near the smouldering rubble was one of the super soldiers unfortunate enough to get caught up in Zack’s explosion. He was missing his limbs, and his body suffered terrible burns. Ignoring his cries, the perpetrator strolled past him.

  “Two of you bitches left!” Zack yelled, garnering their attention.

  “This complete animal!” Dave yelled as he gestured to his fallen comrade while looking at his ally beside him. “Look what he did to our comrade.”

  “...I don’t really like this anymore,” His last remaining ally responded with a skeptical tone. “He’s much stronger than we thought. We’re down from six to two of us!”

  “...We have that bastard on the ropes!” Annoyingly shoving his ally, Dave replied. “We got him!”

  Not wanting to disobey his superior, the super soldier silently obeyed. They watched as Zack occupied yet another house, enraging Dave.

  “Does this bastard think we’ll follow him again!?” Dave yelled as he charged towards the home, clenching his fists in the process. “No more!”

  He glanced through the open door, seeing civilians hiding to preserve their own lives. Unfortunately, they were in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

  “Heh, sorry. Just doing my duty,” Dave coldly remarked.

  BOOM!

  Dave unleashed a punch, commanding air gusts to tear through the walls of the home.

  “Huh?” Zack, who hid in another room, felt the tremors of the shaking building. In that same moment, the structure of the home was unable to be kept due to its damaged foundation, and the home imploded on itself with Zack in it.

  “Surround the building!” Barking out a command at his ally, Dave yelled. “He definitely got trapped by the building collapsing…there’s no way that didn’t slow him down!”

  “R-Right!” His ally remarked as he zoomed to the opposite side of the building. Both men had covered the back and front.

  A few moments of silence - well near silence, thanks to the moans and screams of the innocents who unfortunately was caught up in the collapsed building - that was all the super soldiers had until a bunch of debris and rubble from the house flew towards Dave.

  Amid the debris was an orange light that had taken the form of a gas cylinder. Though shock surfaced on his face, the quick evasion by leaping away had shown his anticipation.

  BOOM!!!

  Further ruining the once accommodating community and tearing apart the structure of nearby homes, the cylinder had erupted into a devastating explosion.

  Shit! Is the blast stronger than when he uses his hands!? Dave pondered as he was ragdolled a few meters before recovering himself. But I avoided taking fatal damage…now I’ll–

  Bursting from the rubble himself, Zack ran the opposite direction of Dave and charged straight for his weaker ally. With shock written on his face, the super soldier blocked a left hook but was blasted straight into a parked - and glowing - car with an explosion released from the impact of Zack’s fist.

  “Ugh–”

  The soldier never got a chance to recognize his predicament, as the car erupted in a violent explosion.

  “Ugh…so that’s all of your partners, right?” Zack remarked as he turned his gaze towards Dave. “I had a feeling you were the strongest, since you decided to introduce yourself to me…then there’s the fact that you weren’t getting completely dusted by me and didn’t resort to cutting me off.”

  “...How? How the hell are you this strong!?” Dave yelled as he stood off against Zack. “Y-You were just a damn lowlife compared to the people you were surrounded with!”

  “...How about you shut the hell up,” Zack retorted with a pulsating vein on his forehead. “Well, it doesn’t matter anyways. You’re done for.”

  “No! I will not lose to a roach like you!” Dave yelled with pure rage. “I’ll rid the president of the nuisance that is you, Zack Isaac!”

  Screw your president.
