178 Defending Masaru

“Hold your position!” B shouted at us as I could see some of the BMO agents starting to surround our cars as we were surrounded by them, too. They began to fire at our cars from all over the place as people screamed as we tried to figure out what to do next.

I could see some of them coming towards us as I heard more screaming and gunshots, so I tried to hide behind a car with everyone else while we were still under fire by BMO agents as we saw people running from them all over the place.

“Let’s get out of here!” Tisiah yelled to me as he ran over to me, with Nikki right behind him.

“What about Masaru?!” I asked, and we turned. Then I saw it, the limo with Masaru in it. I waved both my arms high and wide, screaming, “Go away from here!” But soon enough, the BMO agents were already speeding to the limo.

Oh no, oh no, oh no...

I ran towards them, charging up my Perk for this moment. “Masaru!” I shouted, running right towards him, with Tisiah and Nikki following me. I was going to protect him if I had to, even if it meant taking out everyone else around me and possibly getting myself killed in the process.

Immediately, three agents began to rush towards me, as I pulled out my gun and pulled the trigger on it. Then I looked back as Tisiah and Nikki both fired at the same time as they were rushing towards the three BMO agents with their guns pointed right at them. But soon the distance closed, and it was now combat time.

The first one that encountered me started with left hook, right hook, left hook, right hook, but then he pulled out a knife and started slashing at me with it before I kicked him in the stomach and knocked him to the ground. I grabbed him by the collar as I pushed him to the ground so his face was on the pavement.

Then I turned to the next one, jabbing him in the chest-thunk!-as he dropped to his knees and fell over. The third one came towards me and then he jumped forward at me with a punch right at my face. But then I moved my head and slammed his fist right into the ground and kicked his feet out from underneath him before turning around to take care of the last one of them.

.....

I pushed him up against the wall before kicking him right where the sun didn’t shine, so he fell to the floor and curled up in pain. But then Tisiah and Nikki were there to kick him in the head as they dragged him away from me. I looked at Masaru, who looked horrified. I took his hand, getting him out of the limo.

But then, more BMO agents were rushing towards us.

“Run for cover!” Nikki shouted as I ducked behind the limo. Shots fired through the air, so I took a quick glance around the front of it and saw that there was another SUV there, but it was smoking and still on fire and they had shot the driver dead.

Tisiah and Nikki were firing their guns at the agents who were rushing towards us, and soon enough, we were all behind cover as we fired at them, too.

Then one of them approached me, coming with a very quick right hook that made me stumble back but not fall down, while I saw a knife in his hand that was pointed right at me. But then I pulled out my gun and pointed it right at him, firing until the gun was empty, and then threw it down to the ground, quickly grabbing my knife from him instead. Then I swung it at him with all my might and watched as he fell on his back.

He fell down, but then he picked himself back on his feet.

My arms were aching with pain, but it was whether me or him was going to fall down first-I didn’t know yet. And then he charged at me with another knife in his hands as I swung my knife with all my might and slashed him right across his stomach before he fell back to the ground.

Then the second one began to speed towards me, so I held out my gun and fired at him before he reached me, but he managed to dodge it by jumping forward at me with both his fists raised up, so I turned my head and ducked, which knocked him over onto his back.

“You okay?!” I shouted to Nikki, who was currently reloading her gun.

“I’m good,” she responded while shooting at the agents. “How are you doing?”

“I’m okay,” I replied.

“Good,” she responded with a sigh.

The BMO agents had stopped coming our way for a moment because they were all either dead or being occupied by the JSA agents that were defending their position. “Masaru, you okay?” I asked him, but he was shaken.

“What in the world is going on?!” he shrieked, looking around in confusion as Tisiah and Nikki looked at us as they continued to hold their ground against the BMO agents who were firing back at them but not too hard since they were outnumbered and outgunned by our teams.

“You need to be kept safe alright,” I said, looking at him sincerely as I felt the adrenaline rush through my system and I began to shake with the intensity of it. “So we need you to come with us.” He looked at me with fear in his eyes as I started to walk away from him. “Don’t worry,” I told him, “we’re just gonna make sure that you get back home safely.”

He looked at me with worry in his eyes, but then he nodded his head as I started walking away with Nikki and Tisiah beside me. “Just hide somewhere, I’ll get someone to keep you safe alright?!” I said, and he nodded-getting up on his feet and running behind a building, with Tisiah and Nikki following after us.

But then I felt it-the rumbling in the earth as a large tremor shook the earth beneath us.

And then suddenly, a gigantic explosion went off somewhere near where Masaru was hiding as it sent everyone flying into the air as they all fell on their backs and crashed into cars and people. I couldn’t see anything for a moment until I stood up and saw an enormous cloud of smoke rising into the sky over where Masaru was supposed to have been hiding.

“Masaru!” I screeched. I stopped in my tracks and began running towards Masaru.

“Connor!” Tisiah said, as he ran after me, but then we stopped once we reached the destination.

“Hello kids,” Maddie Cone said, holding Masaru by his collar. “Just randomly found him here.”

“Give him back to us,” Tisiah demanded, pointing his gun at Maddie.

“Oh no,” Nikki said, “I don’t think so.”

Maddie began to laugh maniacally as she pointed the gun at them. “Guards, kill them,” she said, then she pointed to two other agents. “You’re coming with me and Masaru Kin.”

No, no, no-

“Tisiah!” I shouted, running towards them and pulling out my gun before pointing it right at Maddie. “I’ll shoot you!”

“Go ahead,” Maddie Cone chuckled. “It would make my day.”

The guards started speeding towards with their fists firm and ready. “Oh boy, here we go,” Tisiah muttered, as we charged towards them. One of the agents decided to choose me as a suitable opponent, first throwing a right at me, then a left, then a right hook before throwing a left hook at my head. Then I countered with a right hook, a right uppercut, and a left hook before throwing a right jab into his gut as he doubled over in pain, dropping his gun on the ground before I kicked it out of his reach before pushing him to the ground.

The second one grabbed me by my neck as he pushed me up against a car, while Nikki rushed forward at them to attack them, too.

His arms were firm against my neck, as sweat poured from my face as we looked into each other’s eyes while they were struggling against one another. But then Tisiah jumped at them from behind as he threw a punch right between the two of them while Nikki kicked him right in his face so he fell down. Then Nikki pushed me out.

“Thank you-thank you,” I said, but Nikki shrugged her shoulders.

“You got this,” she told me, then she turned to Tisiah. “You should go save Masaru,” she said before turning around and running away from me as I looked at her. “Come on Tisiah,” I said. “Maddie Cone is probably miles away by now.”

“But what car are we gonna use though?” Tisiah asked, and I looked towards the right, seeing a four-seat coupe. “Perfect,” Tisiah said with a smile. Then he ran towards it.
