"So she was killed by a sniper?" Yua asks Seth.
"Yes," Seth pauses, scanning the room. "I want to ally myself with all of you. Help you get this ебарь off your back." (ебарь means cunt-chaser in Russian.) "Our reasoning for wanting to ally with you all is for one reason and one reason only. We want to do a clean sweep against all of those who want me and my buddy Nixon dead."
"What do you mean by that?" Logan cuts in.
"Before I tell you more, there is someone very dangerous coming to the hotel and is after almost everyone's head. The only ones I know for sure aren't being hunted is," Seth points at them.
"Wait, so that means..."
"Nixon and I are being hunted by multiple people, either to capture us or kill us. Escravos is here to kill us, and someone named the Balrog is here for the same reason, the government is here to capture us and or take what we have from us."
"Wait! The government!?" Svilanka yells, startled by what he said and sort of doubtful.
Seth puts his index finger to his lips and 'shushes' them. "I know right~!?" Seth looks ecstatic. "Sounds like fun doesn't it? So what's going to happen is, we're gonna do a clean sweep."
"We'll be partaking in it? Also, what is 'balrog'?" Michael questions.
"Balrog is an extremely dangerous person. It's really hard to describe what he is as a person. He isn't apart of any organization, he just kills! He doesn't even let you know, but... you always know when he's coming. Its never just some normal people either. They're either people of power or criminals. Not like he kills them for the reasons you think anyway."
"Wait! You act like he's fucking supernatural or something. He doesn't let you know, but you always know when you're gonna be killed by him?"
"That's not entirely accurate because we didn't know we were being hunted by him until a month ago in Mexico. We managed to survive and that's the only way we figured it out but other people are different," Seth pauses, thinking of what he'll say next. "Imagine it like this." He puts both hands out. "Humans often have irrational fears and are often carried by instinct alone. This man plays with your instincts. You might not even know who or what he is but he'll come, and you'll know from pure instincts alone. Y'see, humans naturally fear death, or they will try to avoid dying as much as possible. This instinct goes fucking mad and kicks everything into high gear. I don't know exactly what causes it but just think of him as primal fear incarnate."
"So you're saying 'that' is coming here?"
"Yes, and I can name everyone here that he'll try and kill. Me, Nixon, the boss, his men, including the staff of the hotel and the Brazilian woman in 102."
"Jesus Christ, this is stupid." Michael is tempted to storm out of the room. "Your spouting some stupid shit. How do you even know all this!?"
"It doesn't matter how I know about any of it. Our job is to make sure that the boss of this place is dead for good. That Balrog sure as hell won't be able to finish him off."
"Wait what!?"
"What does the boss of the place have anything to do with this?" Yua cuts in.
"He's El Presidente, also known as Um, the one who controls. Nixon and I will kill him and you will all deal with his men. The staff will not interrupt us so you don't have to worry about them."
"You..."
"Your talking bullshit!" Michael screams. "None of what your saying makes sense to me!"
"We live in a fucked up world that you all don't know a single thing about. Let's have fun."
***
Three knocks on the boss's office door.
"He-"
Three shots. The boss didn't even get to see who killed him. Seth shot him three times. Once in the head, once in the neck, and once in the boss's collar bone. The biker woman swings a machete at Seth's head. The boss knew something was going to happen, so he prepared the woman to be near the door.
They'd be too distracted killing him and preparing to run so they wouldn't notice her. But Seth is different. It didn't make sense for him not to have noticed her. Because Seth's eyes are closed most of the time, he likes to focus on his other senses. No, this woman didn't make a single sound.
Seth drops to the floor, firing at the woman above him who jumps back to avoid the bullets, one of them scraping against her helmet.
Seth had run out of ammo.
Throwing his gun away, he transitioned into a kick. The woman tries slicing his leg but Seth quickly feints, getting back up and slamming his foot into her knee, taking her arm and disarming her by breaking her arm.
Seth takes the machete and tries cutting down the biker girl. Seth stops himself, quickly rolling forward to see an axe pass by his head. Manuel leaves the axe in the wall and takes out a gun.
Seth chucks the machete at Manuel, forcing him to dodge.
Seth runs at him, sliding and kicking him in the knee. Manuel goes to shoot Seth who grabs his hand and throws him over his shoulder, taking Manuel's gun from him.
Manuel curses, he's been winded, left stunned on the hardwood flooring below him. Seth spins around and opens fire at nothing outside the office.
"Fucking, give me a break."
Behind the corner was Balrog.
Outside the office, after Seth's fight between Manuel and the biker girl, Balrog stands. Leaning against the corner, waiting for his opportunity to open fire on Seth. Both of them listening to each other's movements.
If even one of them moves a muscle, the other will die.
"You shouldn't be paying attention to him just yet."
Balrog calmly adjusts himself, switching his gun's position to be pointed at Nixon, wearing his mask. Balrog almost fires upon Nixon but stops himself. "Not much of a talker are you?" Nixon comments.
Nixon chuckles. "What's stopping you?"
Balrog continues to not respond. Keeping his gun pointed at Nixon. "You didn't notice, did you? My mask, my clothes. Bulletproof."
Balrog quickly fires three rounds into Nixon's head. He falls back but quickly regaining his balance, but instead falling forward. Balrog jumps back quickly, Nixon breaking his mask charging forward and carrying what is left of his mask in his hand, blood coming down his face. Balrog fires at Nixon's legs who tanks it, bashing Balrog over the head with his mask.
"FUCKING MONSTER!" Nixon transitions into a right cross, socking Balrog in the face.
Nixon is right though. Balrog is a monster...
[The fight is continued in Life / Death.]
Nixon... he never managed to hit Balrog. His reactions were too fast and perfectly distributed the damage so he wouldn't get hurt. Nixon couldn't do anything but curse under his breath.BANG!!A gunshot through the wall, Balrog drops to the floor, firing back into the wall beside him. Another gunshot rings out from the other wall, dropping Balrog to the floor completely, unable to fire back, he puts pressure on his wounds."Finally found a fucking fault."Both Seth and Johan from room 104, both on behind both sides of the hallway's walls. Seth runs out of the room, firing the rest of the magazine into Balrog. "Where did the other shot come from?"Nixon shrugs, kneeling down to Balrog, looking through things he had. "This was too easy...""Yeah, compared to last time it was too easy.""Why...?Nixon's eyes widen, he's realized something. He quickly turns around to tell Seth...It was a realization that was almost
"I will now tell you everything that you need to know." Three people are gathering in this room, a glass wall separating them from the rest of an office filled with people. A woman and a man sitting in front of another man's desk. This man is a famous detective by the name of Vanity Brown. A title that he gave himself to make himself seem like a crazy person to most, helped him not be noticed by unwanted people. A man who has been following the entire situation between everyone in the hotel since he was nineteen years old.This man and woman sitting in front of him are the people who interviewed both Nixon and Seth, including multiple people who were still in the hotel at the time. Their names are, Lory Fasbender and Kirk Bradley."Are you ready? This is gonna take a while.""It's fine," Lory says, preparing a cigarette."Alright then, let's go." Vanity adjusts his collar. "The date in which both Seth Alpheus Hunt and Nixon Driver were born is unknown. It
A dimly lit room surrounded by darkness. Three people sit in this room, two of them passed out in chairs, hands tied behind their backs and feet tied to their chairs. Yua, Logan, and an unknown man with long black hair and sideburns. He has a coarse face and is considerably large.Yua is the first to wake up, quickly scanning the room and making sure not to panic. She is confused though. She notices Logan and wonders how they got there, showing immediate concern for the mysterious man with them, her worry wasn't directed towards the man though, she was worried about what this man could do to them. She stops worrying when she realizes his hands and feet are bound like Logan and her.Yua looks over to Logan and shouts, "LOGAN! WAKE UP!"Logan jumps up in his seat, startled by the sudden loud noise, immediately bringing his attention to Yua. "What's going on?""I have no clue."Logan looks over to the other man, still sleeping. "Who is he?""I
Nixon, covered in his own blood, Seth over him in their room, trying to fix his wounds. Taking out the bullets through cutting open a bigger hole and using pliers to take the bullets out.Nixon screams in pain with each pull, blood pouring over Seth's hands."FUCKING HOLD IN THERE NIX!"Seth sloppily pours alcohol over Nixon's wound, pouring another layer of peroxide over it. Nixon thrashes about wildly, kicking Seth in the process. Seth grits his teeth, holding the pain of being hit in, trying his best to hold Nixon down."STAY STILL!" Seth gives a good sock in the jaw to Nixon, knocking him out instantly.Seth sits in silence for a couple of seconds, trying to catch his breath. "Now I have to sew his fucking wounds..."Someone knocks on their door, coming in without hesitation since the door was unlocked.Eremita comes in, "Do you need my help?"Seth calmly turns around. "What?""I'm tired of the screaming and you guys
Let's go back nineteen years.In Italy, July 1st, 1979.Andreas Valerius Hunt was born. At around five years old, his parents figured out that he was prone to fighting, frequently trying to prove himself to be the strongest kid within his primary school. He started school early so he was one of the youngest in his class, but that didn't stop him. Two years into primary school, he was expelled.He got into another school, he was also almost expelled from this school as well but managed to make it into secondary school, where he spent most of his middle school life fighting and getting stronger.Since his parents were tired of having to deal with the trouble he brought to them through constantly fighting with the students in the school, they decided to put him through a boxing program. In only a year, he was able to become the strongest in the gym.Let's clarify. Andreas's strength never came from pure unadulterated strength alone. He was extremely i
"Everything regarding Curico is unknown.Date of birth, name, face. All of it has been completely scrubbed from the record. Nobody knows how he did it or why this all started. They just know who he is as a person and the rumors that surround him.The only other thing people know about him is his goal.Someone who infiltrated the Escravos said this before he was executed by an unknown agent hired by Curico. "His goal is true immortality."This true immortality is located in Brazil, and he and his men have been looking for this goal for years and now they finally have something in the form of two men.Seth and Nixon.With what they have, it would be the second hint of immortality that he would find in his life.The first being the rumored body switch. He takes the soul within another person and switches with them whilst on death's door.Others suspect that its the fact that he's extremely hard to kill, thick skull, thick skin, an
[THE INSTANT YOU LEAVE YOUR ROOMS, YOU WILL BE HUNTED!]Speakers across the hotel blare loudly with these few words for a few minutes, stopping after three."We failed," Seth whispers to himself, looking over to his hotel room door and back to Eremita. She finished operating on Nixon, covered in bloody bandages and the like. Eremita sighs, turning to Seth."Well, he should be fine now, you seem to know how to change his bandages and stuff so I'll let you take care of that when the time comes. He won't be recovering fully in a while though.""How long do you think?""Well... I don't know what he's made of but he's probably going to recover in two weeks. Kind of unnatural for someone but its a positive.""We never were normal so that makes sense.""You both heal that fast?""Yep.""You guys are odd.""I know."They stay quiet, Eremita thinking of what she'll say next and Seth contemplating quietly on the othe
Hsiao-Han.The reason for him disappearing from combat sports years back was because of blackmail. This was also the reason he was here now.Hsiao-Han is comparable to Andreas's savagery. No, Hsiao-Han was considered a monster in the underground and is not even close to being morally righteous in any manner. If someone were to wrong him or even stare at him wrong when he wasn't in the ring, they would be found close to death, or just outright dead the next day. Hemorrhaging in the brain, broken noses, jaws, contorted faces, indented skulls.He was a psychopath through and through. He would fight anyone and anything. It was all he lived for after all. One day though, he met a boy.He was going to kill this boy - Hsiao-Han had told the boy to fight him. The boy didn't know what was going to happen to him but he complied gleefully. A boy with the potential to become an amazing fighter.The boy's determination threw Hsiao-Han off. He didn't know how to
