During the following weeks, all I did was just check for the same situation all over the county, after all, this guy had no set pattern or location that he would stick around at, and that was the one thing that was driving me nuts. It was like he hated staying in one place and wanted to make an example in the entire county.
Amy checked back through every news agency she could find to see if there was something on him, and even she was drawing blanks. Alexis was in the second world checking the computer system there to see if this guy might be someone that can jump worlds, but even she came up empty. So till this had actually happened, there was nothing, it was like he was just dropped right out of the sky and started doing random killing and didn't matter who it was that he was killing either.
It was then that Amy came into my office with a shocked look on her face. "There's been another killing, a whole group of people, and this time it was right in the heart of our down town." She stated as we headed into the living room. Ok more like she was leading me there, I thought she was about to bring me down to the sub levels, but it turned out that I was wrong, what she was telling me was on the news right on television, this had no attracted media attention, which even I knew that the police weren't going to like in the least, this had to stop and soon. The question was how we would do it. I wanted to confront this guy head on, but there was no way that I could actually do so, after all I had no idea when or where this guy would strike next, and I knew he wasn't going to say anything.
As I walked into the living room, I looked at the screen and saw what was there, the answer was looking at me right in the face, and I could tell that it was intended on getting on camera. It seemed that this double had left a message directly for me. I don't know how, but he knew that I was trying to find him. It was on now.
All three of us went to the scene suited up, after all, this guy had now made everything public, and it was now time to call him out on the entire thing. When the crowd saw us coming, it was the press that almost started running for us, however the people have actually learned to read the position of my head since they can't see my face and know when I actually don't want to be messed with at all. However there were those that still didn't understand that, and tried to call off the ones that were coming towards me.
"Ninja, this red Ninja is calling you out, how are you going to respond?" One reporter asked with the camera right next to him.
It was at that point that I knew what to call this guy, and it certainly wasn't red. "He may be red, but I do know one thing, all he wants is blood so let's call him by what he wants, Blood Ninja, and I have a plan already don't worry about that. Now if you're done asking idiotic questions, I can get down to work here." I told him and left before he had a chance to say anything else further.
I walked over to where the writing had been drawn out, and yes it was all in blood, hence the name. Alexis and Amy were right beside me, and the police were keeping the people back, hopefully a safe distance. I put up my suits sensor to max range, which actually covered a five block radius, and we're talking city blocks here, not suburb blocks, which means that the coverage was huge. If he was there, I would find him.
The message was directed right at me, but I knew that Alexis and Amy would take it personally as well. "Ninja, just like the people here, I will end you and take you're place. Blood will be on your hands." Was what the message stated.
"Well this is a call out if I ever heard of one." Alexis stated as she looked around.
So far nothing was showing up, but I knew that it was only a matter of time, after all unless this guy had been to another dimension as I had, there was no way that he would ever be able to get away from me. However for some reason, he wasn't showing up on my sensors, and the reason why I knew this, we because he was making one hell of a dramatic entrance, from the top of the building across the street.
"If you think that's a call out Ninja, then you have no idea what you're in for." Blood Ninja called from across the street.
Everyone looked up at him, and you could see the crowd below him part like the red sea right before him. They knew danger when they saw it and wanted no part of it. I however didn't care about any of that; I just wanted to take this guy down period. Before I could say anything however, he leapt off the building and landed not five feet away right in front of me.
"However I know that you're not going to do anything to me, after all, you have no idea what I've done, and you can't take the risk that killing me will put these people in even more danger than what they are just being around me." He stated
Well he had a couple of things wrong right there, but I wasn't going to say anything to him about it. I just let him continue on. "After all you and I, we're both the same, we both want justice, and will do whatever it takes to get that justice. So what's it going to be, let me go or let these people die?" He asked.
Right then I knew what he had done, and opening a line to Amy and Alexis I let them know as well. "he's got bomb's planted around here, which means that these people are going to be seeing a fight since if any of them leave he'll detonate the bombs more than likely. I won't kill the bastard, but I am going to make sure that he feels me taking him down hard." I told them, right before I slugged Blood Ninja right in the face.
"You're right about one thing, we both do want justice, however I don't kill, that's entirely you." I told him as I spun around and landed a back round house kick right to his chest sending him flying.
"Ah a fight it is then." He stated as he flipped up back onto his feet again.
Great another martial artist, which means that he, knew not only how to deal out the pain, but to take it as well. Well it was time to find out, just the level of pain he could take. After all, with all of my off world adventures, I could say that I'd literally been to a Hell on Earth world and endured extreme pain.
He jumped up into the air, and for a second there, everything slowed down. Not one thing actually moved, it was a time stall bit that I had picked up from another world that allowed me to gather information that I would need to take down an enemy, and with Blood Ninja I was going to need everything I could get. The only kicker with this though, I had modified the time stall to allow me to be able to move faster than normal, everything around me still moved at the same speed as before, but this only added to things, I just hope that it was enough to be able to deal with Blood Ninja before something went wrong.
As he landed, he tried lashing his foot out at me, but I bent to the right side and threw a punch right at the hip to the left leg lashed out. It was a solid connect, but he didn't go down, he just staggered on one leg. "Ah time stall, I've seen that used before, only this time you've modified it, and I know that you're just wondering how I could know what you're using, well only time will tell for you." He stated and I could just tell that he was smiling under his mask.
The bastard was toying with me, I figured that right out at the start, but I needed the time for Alexis and Amy to deal with the boom problem first, once that was taken care of then, I could deal this guy a final blow and end all this. Blood Ninja and I traded blows left and right like crazy, and I had decided early on not to bother holding anything back, if this guy thought that he knew what it was going to be like fighting me, I knew had to change him on that. I could see that he was getting tired and fast, and all while I had a lot of energy to work with still here.
Then I got word. "We got them, and the police have severed the wireless connection that he had with it, there's no way that he can blow it up now." Amy stated to me.
That right there was good news, however I didn't trust this guy at all, he'd taken a lot of blows from me like they were nothing which mean that he had been prepared for them in the first place, which for my rapidly working mind mean that he had something else planned. I sent my computer to working on different sensors to see if there was something that Alexis and Amy might've missed and even connected up with the big computer in the other world to see what the time line showed for this world. That's when I had it.
Blood Ninja had set everything up in different ways, and the correct tool needed was back in the lab, and there was only one person that I knew who could get there fast enough to get it and come back. "Amy get back to the house, there's a device that I have in the lab that can double check everything on every level including time. You need to fly, and use the Phoenix mode to get there and back. I know that it's untested, but at this point sometimes you need to run before you can crawl." I told her.
The last thing that I saw of Amy was her lifting her head up and taking off into the air, before becoming a flaming bird like mass and heading back for the home. I can only hope that the Phoenix mode didn't do anything bad to her that was going be bad for me if it did. All I knew right now was that I had to end this fight and yesterday.
"Fine you want pain, I'll show your ass pain, you bastard." I stated to him as I gripped both of his armed, leapt up slightly and kicked him dead in the chest while flipping back from him. Once I landed, I stood right up and gathered up energy for something that I had only done once, and when I had done it I had promised myself that it would only be done in extreme cases needed only, never any other time. The energy being gathered was determined by me, as well as the speed that it was gathered up at, and I was gathering it up fast. I had been told that there was no limit, but I could never see that, for me there was a limit to everything, but right now I knew that I couldn't have a limit, I wanted this guy to feel the pain that he was putting everyone else through, and I knew that there was only one way to do that.
To the side from what I could see before everything went tunnel on me, was Amy arriving back with the unit to scan the bomb explosive. She could see what was about to happen and the look on her face was wondering why I was just standing here seemingly doing nothing as Blood Ninja ran right at me, with blades extending out to kill me.
It was at that point that a whole new world opened up to me, one that I had only been to once before when I had last done this and made that promise. Energy was pouring into me now at an unprecedented rate, and the limits that I thought were there before, were no longer there at all. Moving my arms around in classic moves, I picked a focal point to put it all out through and gathered it all starting in my hands to the right side of me before thrusting out and unleashing energy hell upon Blood Ninja. What made it extra painful for him was that he had just come back into contact range when I hit him with the blast. The entire thing could be seen once the energy was unleashed, but the explosive outcome, that no one could see coming.
