11. Mixed ideas 8:30 PM
11.
A low crackling sound filled the air as the icy spears hovered over Kyle as if waiting for further commands their summoner. "What are you going to do now? A few shards didn't seem to be much of a bother to you, but how about those few multiplied by, let's say, 10?" Kyle snickered at his Asian opponent who just stood there without moving the slightest bit. Triumph was clearly on Kyle's mind at the moment, there was nothing Kyo could do right now.
Kyo on the other hand remained standing still, weapon in hand but was not raised into position to deflect any new projectiles. "Seana, you might want to move out of the way. You don't seem to be able to handle long distance attacks well," Kyo warned. Seana nodded and immediately moved gracefully over to a nearby table, leaving enough space between her and the Kyle's targeted area.
A smile stretched across Kyle's face. With the girl out of the way, it was a one-on-one fight between two men. To him, these were fair odds.
"Mr. Kyle, I do not know who you are but I admit... you have a rather interesting talent. However, against me, your skills are merely amateurish." Kyle felt very insulted upon his opponent’s remarks. He sneered and with one swift hand movement, launched the crystal javelins directly towards the samurai.
With lightning speed reaction, Kyo deflected a number of the projectiles, evaded the rest and dashed towards Kyle before the Caucasian could even raise his hand for a follow-up attack. Seana could only stare wide-eyed at the two's actions as Kyo rushed his competitor against the wall, katana at throat.
"I don't need any of this. I will not work hand-in-hand with the government furthermore with a white-guy who doesn't know how to control his rash ambitions and pride!" Kyo snarled as he began losing his temper. At once he took control of his emotions, took a deep breathe, sheathed his sword and calmed down.
“I do not need your government’s help in upholding something they took away from me. I shall fight this fight… my fight… my way.” Kyo backed away from Kyle and walked toward the dark corridor which they came from.
“Mr. Tsukimura, please just stay a while more. At least listen to my boss’ explanations first, and for our naïve friend over there, please forgive his actions. I’m not too sure myself that Mikeal did a thorough job in searching for a suitable candidate,” Bridges apologized as he gave Mikeal a rather disturbing look of disappointment.
“Why should I?” All these words did not seem to move Kyo the slightest bit as he proceeded into the corridor which lit up once more.
“Because the three of you are probably the only hope the world has at obtaining peace once more. This world is ours to share, is it not?” boomed a vice over an intercom which they had not noticed earlier. Finally Kyo stopped walking and turned around. After a moment of silence, the voiced boomed once more, “You can call me Omega. I am the one who has called for the three of you to be gathered.”
Seana got up from behind her hiding place now that things were getting interesting once more. “If you really are the boss, show your face!”
“I will in due time, my lady. When the time is right I shall reveal myself to you all. Right now, all this is for security measures.”
Kyo had joined them back in the hemispherical dome as the voice spoke. Now he wanted answers and he was sure he would get them. “Alright then, you’ve got my attention. I demand some answers now.”
