Michael #16
Cro was desperately crying for help, that wasn't coming. The bystanders either ignored him or walked away to hide their shame, while the drunken homeless guy was too lost in his own anger to hear what was happening around him. Not that he could actually hear what was approaching him.
"Ikazuchi Kata: Shidensen"
Without making a sound, the killer disappears, running around his victim with blinding speed, cutting him down, without even slowing down.
For the remaining onlookers, it was like a scene from a mystery movie. After Cro's last cry for help, the assailant fell down with a lethal wound across his back and a heartbeat later, Michael appeared. A tall, dark figure wearing a formal suit, with a hat pulled down so his face would be almost unrecognizable, sword still in his hand.
Michael glanced back at the pair. Both were alive although the unconscious man looked like he was the lucky one compared to his girl...fiancee...the killer corrected himself as he noticed their matching rings. As for their assailant, Michael's sword hit him hard and fast, leaving him only a few breaths away from death, so there was no need to be concerned with him. The crowd on the other hand…
He glanced in the direction of the remaining onlookers and they shivered.
A lonely drop of water fell on the pavement, a harbinger of the upcoming rain, quickly followed by another and another.
"It... it's him, tha...that killer is real!"
Someone screamed and suddenly panic erupted in the street as the remaining people started running. There were six of them. Six witnesses, six bloodthirsty monsters who didn't even have the decency to run, when Cro called out their cowardice. No one would miss them.
"Blink"
Invisible for the eyes of regular humans, Michael ran past these people, closing off their escape route.
"Good thing, that we are in the old part of the town, far away from the usual crowds"
The killer thought for himself, as he cut his way through the fleeing people, with both the blade in his hand and sword made from the compressed air.
When he was finished, Michael took a look around. If someone was watching from the windows of the warehouses and workshops around them, they were smart enough to hide when people started dying so, they shouldn't see him well enough to be helpful during the Identification.
"It's time to go."
Michael said coldly, as he made his way to Cro again.
