Chapter 27 - The Tales of Apex 3

"Damn you Apex!!"

"Your head shall be mine!"

Lemurge moving at great speed wind up before Apex, sword set and swinging to split Apex into two.

BURST! BOOM! BING! BANG! CRASH!

There was a massive explosion of energy from Apex that blasted Lemurge away with great force making him crash into multiple masses.

Azath lifting up his head as his nose mask and hood incinerated.

The top of his suit incinerated leaving him on just trousers and boots.

His eyes became white, white stripes began to engrave on his body. He grabbed his katana right and the blade became pure white.

BURST!

A white aura exploded out of him, shooting up to the sky like a pillar and spreading like the wind.

It engulfed and enveloped Azath as he began walking towards Lemurge.

Creatures were flying and running towards Azath from all directions, but as anyone got to him, it incinerated in that instant.

"Raaaarrrrgggghhhh!!"

Lemurge flew to Azath with great force and tried to slice him, but Azath his katana to strike against his sending him back.

They then both ran towards each other, and as they collided, they began striking against each other.

Azath kicked Lemurge with great force sending him flying into a building.

Azath following through. Lemurge tried to whip Azath with his wings, but Azath disappeared and turned up behind him slicing off his wings.

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Lemurge screamed with pain as he fell from the air.

But as he was falling he striked Azath who then used his katana to shatter and destroy the large sword of Lemurge.

Lemurge crashed in the ground and began attacking Azath with his fists.

But Azath blocked with his left hand, till he caught Lemurge's fist.

Lemurge groaning and roaring while pressing on, while Azath holding him down and crushing his fist.

"You have done enough damage to my city."

Azath kicking him in the chest as Lemurge moved backwards then gripped his katana with both hands.

BURST!!!

Azath's aura burst out all the more and flowed into his blade.

"Aaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!!!"

He released a mighty and tremendous white slash at Lemurge.

"Nooooo!!!"

"This ain't over Azath Saturou, my master will end you all!"

Lamenting his last words, the slash split Lemurge into two and anything behind him in a long range.

Lemurge's corpse shattered to dust including every single creature in the city.

"This is crazy."

Azath looking around seeing the massacre and destruction in the city while he fell on his knees and the white stripes faded off.

A helicopter suddenly flew and landed before Azath.

A white man having dark brown hair, American, stepped down from the helicopter and walked up to Azath.

He wore a black tuxedo, black loafers, a golden Rolex on the left and wearing shades.

"Hello Azath Saturou or should I call you Apex."

"Just call me Azath."

"Very well Azath. I am Jim Byers, you can call me Jim."

"So Jim, why are you here?"

"I need you to come with me. It's concerning your brother Obi Saturou."

On hearing that Azath lifted up his head to see Jim.

Two guys on black suit then came from the helicopter and helped Azath up and they all entered the helicopter and took off.

"So where are we going?"

Azath staring at Jim.

"To my facility. You need an upgrade for what you are about to face."

"What do you mean?"

"Your brother Obi Saturou, code name, The Illusionist. He his back and more powerful."

"Wait what?"

"Yes kid. You are the only one who can stop him so we have to make sure you are prepared or the people you love, the people we all love is in danger."

"Alright fine."

They flew off leaving Japan and heading for a facility built on the ocean.

Landing on a helipad, they came down and headed into the facility downstairs.

Coming out in a large science, tech, and research lab, two scientists led Azath to a large glass tank and placed him inside.

"What's happening?!"

"Just take it easy, it's going to be alright."

Plugs were inserted in Azath through his neck, spin, and waist.

A dark pinkish liquid began flowing into the tank up till the brim and Azath fell unconscious.

Hours later Azath woke up lying on a bed and Jim was beside him.

"What did you do to me?"

"Well knowing about your ability to use the feature of any known animal, we just upgraded it. Spiking it up to a real height. Your senses at its peak, regeneration increased, reflexes at its peak."

"Okay I admit that is cool."

Azath sat up as he was given water to drink.

"Your brother is a master of illusions so your senses and reflexes needs to be active all the time, aside from the fact that he his a great fighter, deadly in combat."

Azath trained in the facility to master his abilities all the more and increase his experience in combat.

Hara, Japan

Back at home, here was Aunt Ino cooking in the kitchen.

KNOCK! KNOCK!!

"Who's there?!"

The person kept on knocking and not answering her.

"I'm coming for god's sake!"

She got to the door and opened it but there was no one there.

"Seriously?"

With annoyance she shut the door and turned to return to the kitchen.

On entering the kitchen she set her eyes on a black haired man on shades wearing a long black coat, black inner shirt, black trousers, black boots, and black fingerless gloves.

He was chopping the vegetables Aunt Ino left on the chopping board to go open the door.

"Who are you and how did you get in here?"

"Oh my dear beautiful Aunt…

Tilting his head to look at Aunt Ino who was shivering due to fear.

"don't you remember me?"

She began lifting up in to the air slowly, panic and distress clouding her entire being.

"O-O-Obi?"

"Lovely."

"W-w-where have you been a-a-all these years?"

"I've been there, just living the life after the war."

"W-war that you and your sister started."

Obi pinned the knife he held on the board as he inhaled, exhaled, adjusted his shades and looked at Aunt Ino who was on air.

"Oh stop it!"

"I have just one question for you Aunt… Where is Azath?"

"Why do you want to kill him?"

"Kill him? Nahhh, I just wanna catch-up with my kiddo. Been so long since we last saw eye to eye."

Obi close to Aunt Ino, eyes locking into hers.

"I know you kid, I know you want to kill him. But in all that, I don't know where he his."

Obi placing his left palm on Aunt Ino's face, trailing his fingers down to her cheek.

"Ouu, don't lie to me Aunt."

"I said I don't know where he his!"

Aunt Ino yelled as she grabbed a flower vase and used it smash Obi's head.

As he staggered back, she fell down to the ground and ran away.

"You shouldn't have done that, my dear beautiful Aunt."

Obi whispered as he sat on the ground wearing a mischievous smile while adjusting his shades and meanwhile, Aunt Ino raced outside the house through the door.

But—

She ran through the door but wind up in an empty space, just covered with darkness only.

"Obi! Obi! Don't do this!"

She screamed as suddenly, black hands began to trail out from beneath the ground and held her leg.

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

She screamed as they dragged her into the darkness.
