[Episode 2!] AS SHARP AS SILVER BLADE.

 Upon investigating further it was revealed that Silver Malcom is actually a internationally wanted Assassin who kills high profile people upon receiving contracts. He goes by his alias 'Silver Blade' a guy sharp by both brain and brawn. He lays a plan so perfect that no one has been able to track him back or even if his presence was found there were no evidences against him. He has been on the wanted list of police agencies across the globe.

But Trent was not one of those, he was determined to interrogate Silver. And he made some preparations before visiting him. His company Bloom Corps made high tech armors for defense forces made up of toughened cellulose polymer and ultralight friction resisting fabric to escape bomb-blasts and avoid catching fire at the same time keeping the body cooled even in such conditions. 

The research team for this suit was headed by father-son duo of Dr. Garrison Anderson and Dr. Franklin "Franky" Anderson. Dr. Garrison was a former military scientist and later helped Trent in setting up Bloom Labs also being an old friend of Mr. Chris Bloom MacArthur. While Franky had been a childhood friend of Trent. Trent was 4 yrs younger than Franky while they have similar intellect Franky also serves as a elder brother figure and confidante to Trent. 

They always shared everything with each other and when Trent told Franky about all of this incident he jumped aboard to help his friend in finding the killer of his family. First up they upgrade one of the suits to even further toughen it and built slots to store weaponry in a convenient fashion and looking cool at the same time. And then they they modified the helmet into a face mask to avoid chemical breathe in, radiation and fire as well as cloak his identity.

They had a non-functional lab near the castle, it was their private research lab and also their hangout spot. So they decide to turn it into their base of operations. Franky set up the lab with computers and multiple screens and a storage room to keep the armor and the weapons.

"So how 'bout we paint the exoskeleton of the armor?!" asked Franky.

"How bout painting it Blue and giving a red glow in the eye." replied Trent.

Trent thought if Silver is a sword master then he'll face one too, so he took the sword his great grandfather had used once in war and polished it and practiced with it. He was hellbent on turning their meet into a nightmare for the Silver Blade. Franky tracked down the recent  location of Silver Blade, and fortunately he was in Sunstreak city. Trent reached on to an apartment's rooftop which was just a few buildings away from the loft of Silver Blade and he looked into his loft via night-vision binoculars, and saw him gearing up probably for his next contract. Clouds began to surround the night sky and Trent proceeded towards the loft.

He sneaked into the loft through the roof access door by picking its lock without anyone noticing and it was all dark no lights were on. As he entered in the hall Silver Blade was standing facing wall and his back towards Trent and polishing his sword. 

"I knew you would come." said Silver Blade.

"So were you preparing to host me" said Trent.

"Its seems like you're not the only smart guy in the room, I am way above you in tracking and spying on my targets." replied Silver Blade.

"Enough talking! Now the next thing you speak will be the name of your master who gave you the contract to kill my family." ordered Trent.

"If you want his name then it shall be over my dead body." replied Silver

"As your choice!" said Trent and they took positions with their swords.

"Be careful Trent he's the master of this art." said Franky via coms 

"And so am I." said Trent in a deep voice.

And then a thunderstorm crackled and it began to pour down heavily. The voice  of clinging swords could now be heard in the room. "You cannot beat me I will make you fade away." said Silver Blade.

"Then I shall cross you down before that." retaliated Trent.

(lightning flashes and swords clinging is heard.)

Suddenly a hard strike from Silver' sword broke Trent's sword, but he quickly countered the odds by catching Silver off guard and making him fall on the ground disarming him in the process. Then they proceeded with hand to hand combat. And Trent completely destroyed his opponent and pinned him on the floor in a brutal fight. 

He then said "Silver Blade you might be good with the sword but not so good with fists." while sitting beside the fallen body of Silver.

"Hah...Gahh!(Trying to catch his breath) Go on kill me...KILL ME! (laughing) you can beat me but you won't beat him. There's a whole batch of mercenaries in the wings  waiting for his orders, they'll come for you, better be prepared HAHAHHAA!..ahh." said Silver.

"I won't kill you, cops will be here any moment for I shall haunt you as your worst nightmare, unlike you I'am not an assassin, I shall be a protector and I pledge that no innocent of this city will die at the hands of your master and his henchmen. Remember my name I'am Crossfade!"

The eye lenses of his mask glowed red as he made this declaration. And then he left as the sound of police sirens could be heard and along with him he took Silver Blade's unique sword as his prized possession. But before leaving he left a mark on Silver's armor with red spray paint a cross within omega symbol.
