Paladin Ascending Vol 2 #8: Correspondence
A woman with a giant flaming axe....it couldn’t really get any better. Maybe that’s why I’ve haven’t encountered the person in charge with a high powerset. Just because she's the niece of our most terrifying enemy, we should never underestimate how far this can go. But the presence is frightening to say the least.
Just about right now, I pictured myself throwing rays of light against Fireflare. That's right, it's her villain name. Before I could finish the sentence in my head, she probably sliced one of my favourite guns in half....damnit. I check my virtual watch and it’s been 15 minutes already. Time is always the most vital to spies, regardless if it's a fight or not. Then you have your own team occupied against the weird guy who mumbles in third person. Joint assault on both fronts.
Here's the plan, mentally: if we beat them and gave them a 5 minute interrogation—which has been the shortest amount of time I used to choke info out of enemies, then we’d reach some compromise for the end goals. But it doesn't matter. You know you're already pinned down.
Sabine: “Ready to give up yet?”
Kieran: “No you give up.”
Sabine: “Classy. I like you already.”
Kieran: “Sorry I’m taken. She probably has more temper than you. You're the worst nightmare I'd ever encounter in junior high.”
Sabine: “Aw, what a mood killer. Shame I couldn't see what bitch she would be.”
Kurt: “Don’t forget I’m the single one here. No one can or ever take me!”
Sabine: “I’ll deal with the old man in a bit. But yes, I'm gladly to capture you for my uncle....”
Kieran: “Tell me, how many have you even captured ever since he killed one of us?”
Sabine: “Hm, a few maybe. Only if you’re gonna learn to play nice....”
Kieran: “No, no like that. Did you raid our compounds? Why?”
Sabine: “Yes. I ensured a big bloodbath. Some of them left with a trace behind. So that you could be led to this moment of confrontation.”
I felt my anger swelling, drops of sweat rising up to my face. She was obviously stalling us. Everyone does that. To calm my pressured state, I kept thinking about my girlfriend. Something that would be the best meditation technique that Gary gave good lessons on. Being with her long enough, Riley was always reckless despite her powerful skill sets....and the doctor. I did regret a bit leaving them behind when Ty knows it’s his responsibility to keep the mission going. But if anyone can handle a good fight with swords, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Just as our odds were slightly tilting to the losing side, Lyra was constantly launching a flurry of attacks against Knifenight. Presumably under her damaged suit, she’d taken a few hits but with quick regeneration. The absorption of her abilities are simply amazing just like the day we found her. And Kurt, despite his age (and probably still has a six pack from all that prison time), was no stranger to using defenses as a weapon. His hands brimmed with rearranging molecules, launched a shot at Knifenight, send him flying across the wall. Again, also never underestimate what your allies can do even if there are powers that seem weaker at hand.
What remains are two remaining members of the other team, Ty and Erin—-who happened to coordinate a very (beautiful) energy attack. I could see how much they cared for each other. Love is back on the tables? You’d better figure that out yourself.
Ty: “You good?”
Erin: “Yeah.”
Ty: “Show’s not over yet. We gotta help him out.”
Kieran: “Yes, I'd appreciate hand here.”
Sabine: “This is even better. Aiding the third wheel....how sweet.”
Kieran: “Ok that’s enough!”
I charge myself up, glowing like a firefly. Beams protrude out of my body as I create a heavy gun and some swords in the form of light. Rackham is stifled, but she’s not entirely surprised. With her axe, she manages to cut down some of them, but I keep exposing her to my rays, blinding her in a flash as Ty and Erin pin her to a damaged wall. Talk about timing correctly.
Sabine: “Heh....so I’ve definitely underestimated some of you. Good tricks, but you should have known to impress me more.”
Kieran: “Yeah you did. Might have it easy on this one. Now f*cking tell me where he is.”
Sabine: “Why should I tell you? The first rule of interrogation, is never ask where.”
Kieran: “I want you to lead us to him, or else I’ll kill him.”
Sabine: “Do what you want. As long as you know you’re walking into that trap....don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Kieran: “Show me. You said you to take us in right? We're using it exactly just as he wants.”
Sabine: *coughs* “Of course....look at the damn hologram. Cyprus.”
And then I knocked her brains out. I quickly take my mask off for a fresh breath of air, as the others stare at me. I give them a what look before they all cheer.
Lyra: *squeals* “Damn boss. That was impressive. I’ve never seen that before!”
Kurt: “I guess it’s time to check on my research for power levels...well, who wants to get their soda on the jet before I upgrade the tech later?”
Ty: “Provably soon when we depart, hahaha...”
Erin: “So guys, do we need a compost bag or no?”
Kieran: "There is certainly a mess here, but let's just clean up real quick and get the hell outta here.

(London to Cyprus, current time 3:43 A.M:)
After destroying what's left behind with an unconscious Sabine and Knifeknight in toll, strapped and cuffed. Our jet arrives quickly at the foretold base. I assume Edens or Gardner know we've managed to handle the situation back underground. En route, Erin and Kurt have already send them the coordinates. Knowing his defection situation, Gardner should definitely coming along in person as well, obviously for many other reasons too.
Landing seems obviously smooth if it’s a super-villain-or-whoever’s island that is. There’s not security breach, not a single guard. I’m raising my suspicion level alerts to high in case it’s an ambush....which is possible. We all switch on the night vision gear again, this time with Kurt providing the heat sensors and grid scans. The door is just right up another tunnel, as we enter....
It’s a big facility, something like that. Some dark shades of green around. Still, no guards...until a figure emerges. Lights flare up as well. Gotta keep caution.
Holy f**k. It’s North. I haven’t really seen his face clearly before, even through the files, but I can clearly make it out that it’s him. His damn face staring right at us above. I witness the other entrance is led by Edens and his team, along with a cloaked guy who they told me is an ally named Dusksmoke.
North: “Hello, knights. It is time—-and I welcome you all to this grand meeting. The truly wonderful spectacle of my most wanted. The teams that are capable of the survival of the fittest.”
Edens: “Here you are.”
Gardner: “F**king hell. Why don’t you come down from that box of yours and answer me!”
North: “Oh yes. You brought me this muddled spectacle....”
Ty: “Wake up, both of you.”
(Sabine and Knifenight are thrown into the middle, still bound and tied with electrocuted ropes.)
Sabine: *wakes* “Ah, see, I told you....”
Knifenight: “Uggh....yes. It is him. But, Knifenight....Knifenight is not supposed to be here!”
North: “Once again, I will deal with this fool later. Now, show them.”
Even more lights flare up around us as we ready our battle stances. The White Ninja steps out, followed by the ES agents all around him. Then he snaps his fingers, revealing my girlfriend and Sam tied on a platform. They look battered and torn, yet not hurt enough badly.
North: “I have your friends. You already have guts to step into my lair, give me what I need.”
Gardner: “Free them. Now.”
North: “You should really learn to play nice, Mason. I don't trade if you threaten me with this behaviour...”
Edens: “You mean the plans. The rest to kill us. You’re the Modred to our cause.”
North: “Ahh yes. And you would be the Merlin on the chess board, Remus. Just another disposable old wizard. And Arthur here—-isn’t what I would expect too much more of a king....look at you being frail and sickly, Mason.”
Gardner: “Pulling the sword is when I should finally get to kill the worst f**ker ever. I know you wanted to cleanse the world, to get rid of us. Then why not do it now.”
North: “Oh yes. But it would be a waste to blow up too much more faculties and incompetent human beings. I enjoy the slow, painful death of a man....like how I always toyed with yours. Now my patience has run thin. Kill them. All of them.”
Well, sh*t. I guess we can’t leave without stains then...
