Cyberknight: One Path

⁕ The Lynching Game (part 3)

An injured Blue Guard rushed through a peaceful neighbourhood with wounds all around his body. After finding refuge behind a parked car, the guardsman took out his communication device and broadcasted his message to the nearest Allied station.

[Blue Guard] - "Please, to anyone who receives this message, this is Blue Guard agent Khalid. I'm currently the last survivor of my team Delta-92. All my teammates have been killed in action as we moved to capture Bandit-1 and Bandit-2. Please send help! My coordinates are- "

As the man opened his mouth to speak, no word exited his throat. In a panic, he grappled to no avail with the hands of an invisible man who was strangling him. Slowly, the life slipped out of his body until he eventually went unresponsive.

[Jerry] - "Ah, there you are. "

Said Jerry, a cyberknight dressed in a turquoise shirt with an explorer's hat.

[Harry] - "Well, he's quite the runner, ain't he? "

Said Harry as he ran up to his brother Jerry.

[Jerry] - "I told you that dress of yours makes us stand out a bit too much. "

Harry looked at his red soldier tunic and his helmet.

[Harry] - "I don't see the problem. It's around Halloween, if anything, I ain't standing out at all. "

Said Harry as he looked at the Halloween decorations in the neighbourhood.

[Jerry] - "His team literally saw through our disguises thanks to you. If not for my ability, he would've escaped! "

Said Jerry as he touched Khalid's neck to see if he was still alive.

[Harry] - "No matter, bro. We got them either way. "

[Jerry] - "Hurry up and contain him. We don't want any attention on us. "

[Harry] - "Alright, alright. So Master Mike wanted us to kill all the cyberknight wannabe who came after us. Why do you think he planned it this way? "

Said Harry as he created an invisible cube around the dead man.

[Jerry] - "We don't question Master Mike. All we need to do is follow his orders. "

Said Jerry as he helped Harry lift up the cube.

Once inside the house where the brothers called refuge, they dropped the corpse on the floor alongside all the others who were killed earlier. Some of them were impaled through the chest by planks of wood sticking out of the wall while others who cut into even slices like a salami.

[Jerry] - "Let's just sit and wait for the next batch who will come. "

Said Jerry as he waved his hand.

In an instant, the floor and wall shifted around and swallowed the dead bodies and gore. Not even a second later, the murder scene inside the house disappeared without a trace.

During this time, by their proximity, the communication base where Kadyn and her team hid received Khalid's transmission. At first, the operators only transferred the message down to the US but one of them suddenly realized that Kadyn's team were Blue Guards.

[operator] - "Hold on, we can help him. We are so far very close to his location. "

[operator 2] - "If you want to die, then be my guest. I'm not about to fight a cyberknight. "

Said the second operator as he leaned back on his chair.

[operator] - "No, I meant the people below our base. They are Blue Guardsmen who can fight these cyberknights and maybe save that poor man's life. "
