Kapitel 13: Chapter: 13
Chapter 13:
"Fuck! I'm starting to lose the signal!" I cursed out loud as I was now racing through London's streets following where the compass pointed. The needle, which was originally pointing straight, was starting to waver! Whatever demonic entity it had picked up on was getting farther and farther away!
"I gave up a hot tryst with a lonely housewife for this! I'm not failing now!" I shouted as I started to pick up the pace. I only had 10 points in strength, but that was still twice that of the average person. I was just on the edge of super human with that. I could also never get tired as a gamer so I could sprint forever!
"Holy shit!"
"Look at her go!"
"Is she an Olympic athlete!?"
I was drawing a lot of attention to myself from all the pedestrians I was running by. At least I was still keeping my pace at a believable human level. I had a feeling if I pulled out my wings and started flying, people might start panicking.
The compass needle shifted directions rapidly and pointed to a nearby alley. I skidded on my heels and turned down the alley as well. Finally, I saw who I had been chasing. It was a male hand ninja. They were covered head to toe in black and red garbs. On his back was a black and red ninja sword. The fact that this guy was running me all over the city and no one spotted him spoke of his skills. Or maybe people did spot him and he just killed them…
The ninja didn't take long to notice that he was not alone in the alley. He spun around and glared at me.
"Well, well, fucking well–my little Hand friend. You've led me on a merry little chase through the city. But now that I've found you, you're not going anywhere until you tell me where your base of operations is." I said as I stalked down the alley closer to the ninja.
To his credit, and my irritation, the Hand Ninja didn't say anything at all in response to me. All he did was reach back and draw his sword. He leveled it at me and charged forward to cut me down!
I wasn't getting beaten by some random Hand mook! Before he could reach me, I quickly created a purple light spear in my hand and hurled it towards his legs. I wasn't aiming to kill him since I needed information. Where there was one Hand ninja… There were dozens more hidden.
The ninja's eyes were visible, and they widened in shock at my supernatural display. My spear grazed his leg before he dodged.
"AAAauuggghh!"
I smirked when he let out an audible hiss of pain as my spear let a visible large burn on his leg. Light spears were basically lightsabers after all. I quickly conjured another one in my hand and leveled it at him again.
"Tell me where your base is, or better yet lead me to it and we don't have to get any more violent here!"
"Never! I will never betray the Young Master! He will take this city! And then the country!"
A new voice spoke up from behind me. "I don't like the sound of that." I heard the tell tale sound of a gun being cocked behind me.
I turned my head and my eyes widened in surprise. She was absolutely breathtaking and I had to clamp down hard on my Sin of Lust after seeing her. Sexy black bodysuit, incredibly gorgeous figure, luscious red hair and piercing green eyes… what the fuck was Natasha Romanoff doing here!?
I've only been in this world less than a day! How am I already on SHIELDS radar? Or maybe she was here for the Hand ninja? That was probably the more likely reason behind this irritating coincidence.
"Well hello there beautiful. Come here often?" I joked.
She just raised an eyebrow at me. "I'm afraid this is a first for me. I don't think I've ever traveled down a dark back alley and stumbled upon a gorgeous woman holding a lightsaber about to kill an actual real life ninja before." She said with a straight face.
I pouted. "First of all, it's a light spear, not a lightsaber. Second of all, that guy over there is an evil cultist and he has it coming…"
"Fair enough." Natasha said. That was pretty much it. I liked her already. She gets it.
While we were talking, the hand ninja had obviously tried to escape. Thankfully, his leg was badly burned and he wasn't able to get far. I was about to throw my spear again and cripple his other leg, but I didn't need to.
BANG!
"Auuuughhh!" He let out another grunt of pain as Natasha shot the ninja in his other leg! He wasn't going anywhere now.
"Nice shot," I said to her.
"It was ok. A bit close to his major veins but it was hard to make an accurate shot because his ninja pants are so baggy. Nice to meet you. I'm Natalie Wilshire and I work for MI 5." She said to me with an alluring smile and a straight face.
If I didn't already know who she was, I would have absolutely believed her. "It's nice to meet you Natalie~, I'm Layla." I introduced myself with the same smile.
"We've been seeing some of these Ninja's popping up all over London and have been investigating them." She said as she pointed to the whimpering and bleeding ninja on the ground. "Do you have any more information on them?"
So SHIELD was investigating the Hand? Interesting.
"Yeah, I don't know a lot about the Hand," I started explaining. "Only that they worship a disgusting demon that's apparently made its home in Japan. The Hand, and therefore the demon, pretty much run the entirety of that country now. I guess he's been trying to spread his influence here as well." I gestured all around us. I wasn't sure who this young master was though. It's possible he could be the son of one of the Hands five founders or something like that.
Natasha, or 'Natalie,' had a surprised look on her face. "You're saying an ACTUAL DEMON has secretly taken control over an entire country!?" She sputtered out. "And no one knows!?"
"Yeah, pretty much. And now you know."
I was planning on killing the Beast once I was strong enough. I wasn't going to allow a disgusting demon to stay in this world for long. My Angelic instincts were driving me to purge his filth from existence.
