"Yo wake up! Maxus!""Huh...""Someone's at the door." Yuki shook Maxus, waking him from his sleep as the door knocked once again, Leah's familiar voice echoing from outside:" Maxus? Maxus are you okay?"Oh...it's just Leah.Oh fuck it's Leah!Maxus shot up from the sofa he was sleeping on, looking around to see the blood stains all over the floor, their bloodied weapons and equipment scattered across the living room floor as well as the fact that Yuki was in his house. "Shit, can you help grab everything, shove it all into the storeroom beside the kitchen? Go please!""Where do I hide?""I don't know under the bed or something go!" Maxus stressed, prompting Yuki to wrap her arms around everything on the ground, quickly throwing them into the store room as she was instructed before quickly hopping over to Maxus' room, sliding herself underneath his bed while still holding onto her shoulder, trying her best to not place unneeded pressure on the wound."Maxus? Did you faint?"Maxus open
I'm so sorry. I can't stay.The twisting sourness within his chest made the discomfort with every step he took worse. He hated himself, he hated what he had to do to Leah but...Singapore needed him more. If he could just kill the Revenant, stop all of the problems at the source then maybe it would eventually snowball to help Leah and her current situation.That look on her face, that devastating frown, the confusion and desperateness in her eyes...Now.Maxus was on the way to Gardens by the Bay as Soultaker, using the vegetation around the area to hide himself within while trying to spot Yuki. The mood...he felt heavy, the tight squeezing feeling within his heart was getting worse as he paused for a moment to give himself some deep breaths, forcing himself to focus on the task at hand.[Where are you?] Maxus took out his phone to quickly text his fellow vigilante.[Meet at the back entrance. The two guys guarding them. Take them out together.]Maxus followed her instructions, scoutin
What do you want? Reynesh had once asked this question weeks after the defeat of the Blood Lion.Maxus wanted to sprout everything out, that overwhelming desire to just...rest. The ideal life, all he could think of is him being happy and relaxed for once, with nothing on his mind just resting on a fluffy couch within a relatively modest and clean apartment that he owns with Leah by his side. A simple life, not even needing anything luxurious or lavish, just some simple peacefulness.Shopping together for groceries on the weekends, cooking and exploring new recipes with her, watching their favourite shows and exploring music..."I just want to live a long peaceful life with Leah." Maxus answered."You still can do that Maxus, you just have to learn when to stop."Will stopping really make everything better? In a perfect world, someone else would take his place as the defender of this country, allowing him to effectively retire from his role as a vigilante, finally able to place his fu
"They were right. Soultaker is a threat." The Revenant, Yahamad looked down at his cuts, watching as blood from his open forearm laceration halting it's flow and and the open wound itself, starting to close in at inhuman speeds. Afan, his brother was sitting in his wheelchair watching the footage of his brother's fight with the Soultaker and Moonfox, analyzing their actions. "Their skills are nothing to scoff at. It's all on perfect display within these clips on how one man could take down someone as powerful as the Blood Lion. The mastery he has over his sword and every action he makes is so carefully yet quickly executed, minimizing himself being exposed. If you didn't have these abilities, he may have killed you." Afan tells Yahamad. "He might have yes. Among the hundreds of warriors I have killed, he has been the only one who has survived an encounter with me. Moonfox on the other hand is slightly less skilled, but the way she could read my attacks and compliment her next moves
Hundred and twenty one.Hundred and twenty two.Yuki spun her staff in the air, performing a split as she landed right between her next two opponents, using her Bo staff to strike them in their necks with unprecedented speeds before jumping right back up, taking aim and swinging her staff right across their jaws, blasting the two armed men out cold."Hundred and twenty four...phew...how many of them are there?" Yuki wiped a little sweat off her neck when gunshots began raining down towards her, prompting the vigilante to sprint towards cover as quickly as she could just in the nick of time as machine gun fire shredded through a pile of vehicles, turning them into shred metal."Woo hoo! Yeah!""Whose gonna fucking stop us now?!"Peering over her shoulder, Yuki could spot a gang of prison escapees on top of a slow moving Terrex armored military vehicle, one prisoner at the very top manning it's heavy machine gun turret while several more walked alongside it, armed with police rifles. I
I've always wanted to be strong.Yuki now laid down on the ground, gasping for air and doing everything in her power to recover while in the distance, Maxus had his sword drawn with the two assassins Crosshairs and Bloodboiler both marching towards the vigilante, preparing for a showdown.If there is anyone in this world who knew who I truly was...the closest person would be you...please be okay...Yuki grit her teeth, trying to push herself off the floor only for her ribs to start creaking with sharp, swelling pain, numbing her field of vision and causing Yuki to fall back onto the ground, the only thing she could do now was watch as Maxus approached the two assassins.Maxus could feel the breeze of the night sky brushing against him, cooling himself down as he felt the weight of the Black Moon Sword in his grip, feeling his trusty weapon bringing him the confidence he needed to face the two assassins head on. "I was supposed to be somewhere else infinitely more important than you t
"Why did he leave me..."It has been exactly a year since Leah and Maxus first dated.Leah now sat by her father's side, midnight just hit as she felt the dried up tears across her cheek, barely being able to keep herself quiet in the room to prevent Aunt Tan and her family from finding out they she was sobbing. Peering over to her side, Leah could see that her dad was barely in stable position, his heartbeat stablizing after a few hours. His stab wound bandaged but still seeping a little blood while all this time, her mother was in prison.Just when she thought everything was over and she could finally take a short breather, Maxus left without warning.She didn't know what she did.Was it her? Was it the stress of everything happening around them? Right now, if anyone had the answers for her it would be Reynesh. He was the only person Leah knew Maxus trusted...more than others at least. With a heavy heart, Leah fished her phone out of her pocket, calling Reynesh."Hello?" Reynesh ans
Dead or Alive Torn flesh. Two broken ribs. Burn marks across her skin and deep bruising clots in the joints. Madam Ang could only imagine the amount of pain Yuki was experiencing, finishing up applying the dozens of acupuncture needles to help Yuki loosen her bruised and stiff muscles as well as loosening her joints in order for her to return to combat as soon as possible. "These ribs are not injuries I can solve overnight Ms Hong. You really have to rest." Madam Ang advises. "Can I?" Yuki muttered as Madam Ang began spreading a topical arnica ointment on Yuki's bruises, rubbing the spot gently as Yuki clenched her fists, gritting her teeth in pain. "It's not a matter of can or cannot Ms Hong. We both know that a big fight is coming, The Revenant and his forces have been less active these past few days. Everything points towards them gearing up for one big attack. If you don't rest now, how can you possibly be ready for the upcoming fight?" Madam Ang analyzed. "What if someone
