A Contractors Smile

11/11 The Start of The End

I wait till 5:30 then I set off to the Café… As I arrive it notice the café is empty apart from the waitress who I normally see.

“Hey, want the usual?” she asks as he looks towards me

“Please” I say as I sit on a chair in the far corner of the café. I constantly scan around the café in a attempt to see what will happen when suddenly I see a large blue blob on one of the windows opposite of the café, once I look directly at it, it suddenly disappears I look frantically around worried about where it has gone

“There’s a doll nearby that was its observer spirit” I think to myself as I quickly stand up and leave the café

“Were you off to in a rush. Don’t ya want your tea?” she asks as I hastily reply

“Sorry there is somewhere I need to be right now”

I shut the café door to be met by two people off in the distance, a young boy and a man the man dressed in a black and white tuxedo with bandages covering his entire face with a top hat on his head and a metallic cane in his hand.

“Why hello there, isn’t it nice to see young contractors making names for themselves. What is it now? Ah! Yes. You’re the infamous Blackout. You really are talented in assassinations aren’t you.”

“So. What do you want” I say as I touch a grate in front of me forcing the metal to align into a halberd

“Impressive” the man says as he lets go of the child’s hand confidently walking towards me.

“Whats your name?” I ask as I drag the halberd along the floor making a sharp screeching noise. The man stops for a second and turns his head towards my weapon, he glows for a second then ignores it and continues walking.

“My name you ask? September 9 one of November 11’s subordinates”

“Strange name” I say as I pull the halberd from the ground onto my shoulder, I appear behind the man lifting the weapon as I do I see the man’s head quickly jolt upwards he then swings his arm around at me, before he hits I leap back careful not to hit myself with the halberd.

“Agile little one aren’t you” the man says as he taps his cane on the floor, he swiftly throws his cane at me I dodge it only just. I look behind to the cane firmly jammed into the wall behind me, I turn around September 9 no were in sight

“Looking for me?” he man says. I turn around to see the man stood on top of his cane. I point at the cane forcing it to become red hot with my power. The man jumps off the cane before I could make it hot enough to do any real damage,

“Your cheap tricks won’t work child” he says confidently holding the rim of his top hat with his hand.

“Im going to have to use something a little stronger for you” I say as I drop the halberd to the floor. I clap my hands together then I drop to one knee

“Let the world shake under me” I whisper to myself as I feel my body and the air vibrate immensely. Suddenly the ground around me begins to shake, massive chunks of ground spurt up around me destroying the road around me.  The man strides sidewards avoiding my attempt to kill him.

“I’ve got to say you don’t really live up to the hype” September 9 says as he taps his feet on the ground

“Dam You! Now Die!” I yell as I charge towards him darting side to side touching every object close to me. The man steps aside just before I touch him as he does I appear behind the man

“Too slow” I say as I thrust my hand into him causing a shockwave launching him into the air I then swing my arms backwards then looking up at the defenceless man

“Obliterate!” I shout at him as all the things I touched jolt forwards into the man slicing him covering his body with a arrangement of deep cuts.

“I win” I say to myself as the halberd is affected and launched up decapitating the man.

I step backwards avoiding the blood which is now falling at my feet. I take the cane from the wall and approach the boy, he’s just standing there his eyes following my movements.

“Boy give this to November 11 and tell him if he wants me dead he better find me himself” I say as I hand him the cane.

“Ok sir” the boy replies as he walks away off into the distance…
