The Legacies (Sequal to The Unrated)

On My Way: Part One

A few hours before The Opening Ceremony

"Hunter!" Amy shouted. She was standing with Isiah. She ran over to him and smiled. "Good to see you. You better be glad I like you. I don't make a habit of going into hell twice."

"I know. Thanks for coming. I won't have asked if it was important." Hunter waved Isiah over. "Why are you acting so shy?"

"I'm worried about Rose. I'm sure she can handle herself, but I can't stop thinking about her. I swear if anything happened to her, Young's gonna pay." Isiah clenched his fist. He noticed he was getting too serious and calmed down. "My bad. I didn't mean to bring down the mood."

"Don't sweat it. We got enough to worry about. Once we get on board, we can go over stuff," Hunter said, looking at a guard. The guard was glancing at them, trying not to stare. "Let's get in line." Hunter walked to the check-in desk. 

"Hello and welcome! May I see your Legacy IDs?" The android asked.

"Sure," Hunter showed his ID.

"Excellent! Well, you three will be in cabin four. Due to capacity issues, you may have a fourth person join you. Please follow the signs. Up the stairs and to the left. Here are your cabin keys." They each took a key and got on board. After walking for a while, they found their cabin. 

"Damn! This is nicer than my apartment!" Hunter said, throwing his stuff in the closet and sitting down on a bed. The cabin had four beds, a table and chairs, a mini-fridge, a monitor, a window, and a bathroom.

"I don't think that should be something you should admit in public, mate," Isiah said, sitting at the table. "So, let's talk. What are we going to do, and how are we going to do it?"

"First, we meet up with  Zach and "Faith." Then we find "Faith" an opening. After that, we look for a way out. I was thinking maybe borrowing a Skycar." Hunter knew it was a dumb idea, but it's the only one he had. It couldn't hurt to try.

"You want to steal a Skycar?" Isiah asked. "Are you mad?"

"A little. What? You got any suggestions?" Hunter asked.

"Not at the moment. Get back to me. I'm sure I can think of something that won't get us violently killed."

"I feel like I'm missing something," Amy said. "Anything you two want to share?"

Isiah and Hunter looked at each other. Isiah shrugged and said, "I know this is going to sound like I'm mental but here me out. I'm an assassin. I work for the president, and I've killed a lot of people. Hunter is the only other person that knows. My mentor, if you can call him that, was the man who killed Hunter's parents. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because you sound crazy. You an assassin? Prove it. Show me something." Amy leaned back and waited.

"What? I'm not some entertainment monkey. What do you want me to do? Kill Hunter?"

"Don't like that idea," Hunter said. "I'm sure you snuck a knife in here. Show that."

Isiah sighed and pulled two knives out of his bag. He then stood up and threw them into the opposite wall. Stabbing a painting of two birds. Both knives hitting each bird in the eyes.

Amy jumped back and gasped. "What the hell?"

"Yeah, I said that too. Actually, I punched him in the face multiple times." Hunter sat up on the bed. "So, you believe him now?"

"You kill people?" Amy asked. Isiah could hear the fear in her voice.

"Yeah, well I did; after this whole mess, I'm done."
