Lightning Flare

Part 1 'He'll find me'

It was and is the time to cry aloud to the world, but keep your heart and mind in one straight path. -George Tarton.
The night living its last as dawn breaks over the horizon of the vast sea, and sky covered in streaks of puffs. Early morning flights ready to takeoff to their cities of wonder, a boy, no, man in his early 20s with blue jeans, wrinkled white shirt and tan jacket waits on the blue cushioned seats looking through the wide glass windows as planes takeoff and others with people boarding. One hand clutching to a grey bag with an atom logo on the front of green, black and blue color scheme, his other hand free with a silver rolex though it doesnt tick or move a single inch of life. 
The airports speaker gives a satisfying melody then a woman speaks, Flight 562, is ready for boarding. Flight 562 ready for boarding., the Man stands up and extends the handle on the bag and walks calmly to the north side of the airport, as he walks to his flight theres a name lit up on his left of a wall saying, Darwin International Airport. he fixes his jet metal aviator glasses that reflect the beauty of the rising light and his snowy hair hides within the crimson cap 
Hello, please to have you on board sir, have a comfortable flight to Tokyo., the woman greeted with a humbling smile in a attendant uniform checking in every passenger tickets on a scanner connected to a silver monitor.
Thank you, the Man nodded and smiled, then boarded the plane in first-class section.
To his surprise, no one was in the first-class seating section, entirely vacanened, but did not allow himself to be fazed.Taking his designated seat of zebra pattern cushion and looks out the small square opening to be blinded by the morning brightness. 
Regaining his sight he simply chuckles and asks an attendant, May I have some water and peanuts please?, his voice husky and gentle, a britain accent hid in his american voice.
The attendant nods, Of course sir, coming right up as soon as we take off., the Man nods back and closes his eyes.
Hours passing felt like minutes with the sun , suddenly in the middle of the sky, In a few minutes, well be landing in Japan, Tokyo, Haneda airport. Please fasten your seat belts, as there will be a little turbulence in our descent, an attendant said over the speakers. Then all around shakes slightly, the ice in glass cups of water and alcohol ring, an older gentleman seating parallel across to the Snow-haired Man closes eyes tight and holds to the comforting armrest firmly. It was only the two in the first-class, isolated. 
You alright there, sir?, the Snow-haired Man asked without looking toward to the old man, relaxed laying back.
The Older man scoffs and chuckles, Ill be fine, as soon as this dredging flight is over, his voice lingered a bit of mandarin even though he had no look for it, he was clothed well, a suit of black with white under shirt, red tie and brown leather shoes, the whole business get-up, Yu Ling., Yu said still keeping his eyes shut.
Zack., Zack replied taking a sip of icy cold-water, So, what line of work do you do, are you  a consultant?
Yu chuckles, No, Im a construction manager for V-Nam.
So, another one of those research labs is being built in Japan then?
Yes, and the new module will be powering the place., Yu smiles pridefully.
Zack sips again, The Rander? Is that the one running on dark matter, is it safe?
Yus smile fades, Well, its one of our most proud achievements, of course its safe. The companys best scientist have tested it, they wouldnt send them out if they werent safe for using.
Zacks tone turns grim, What about Hawaii's Rander, Ling?, more a statement than a question.
Yu opens his eyes a little to Zack, he looked at him confused then his eyes widen his heart dropped, N-no, youre dead. You cant be him, Tobias had you killed. 
Zack scoffs, and pulls out a pistol that has engravings in cursive at each side, Shall my creator pity me or smith me-With all my foes be ash after, silver til the handle that has smooth white marble, he screws on a blackened barrel and aims at Yus head, turbulence hits a bit like the plane just dropped.
S-so-, Yu scared to his soul began but Zack interrupts, You know where Tobias is., bluntly stating.
Yu sweats and trembles inside, Please dont kill me. I do but he moves frequently, you know this dont you? 
Yes, I do., Zack unbuckles and walks up to Yu, keeping his gun trained on him and his balance as turbulence calms down. Then a shot goes out, Yu cries aloud but his mouth was shut tight by nothing, it felt like someones hands were holding his jaw shut and covering his mouth. Red flowed out of Yus left leg slowly.
Zacks skin pulsed of violet glow from the neck to his eyes that turned fierce bright violet, they no longer were human as silts formed. Not a flinch of fear ran through him, but Yu was terrified of the eerie sight.
W-what are you?, Zack cocked the gun with his thumb, Tell me Ling, or I will kill you.
Yu had two options, deaths door or door of truth. He dare not approach death as he had to many sins weighing his soul down and so peeked a little through the truth. Then the gripping of nothing was gone, the door swung wide open to Zack. He had what he wanted, satisfied he grabbed his bag, before walking away, Zack gave Yu a smile not wicked, no, this was a smile with a message. 
Im coming for you all, Yu could hear this voice in his very mind echoing, then the plane landed ruggedly.
Just minutes later, Zack is walking across the airfield, back to normal his face was, planes overhead as the sun shined through the darken grey clouds that came out out nowhere, and with a look of determination, he knew what he needed and how to get it. All that was left, was to push it to the edge. There is a commotion behind him as other passengers got off the plane. Yu was running sluggishly to a small black car, he yelled about in mandarin at two security officers in black that seem to understand him. One short and skinny and the other a bit chubby yet tall as 6 feet, a mountain he was. 
A scar ran across the left cheek of the shorter man, he shouted in english to Zack, Hey stop, sir!, nearly perfect english.
Zack kept on walking away to the exit, the short man check in on his radio in japanese and nodded to the bigger man. The giant nodded back and charged at Zack, a mountain with lightning speed. Zack did not bother to look back then the mountain was to be ontop of him but he dodged like the wind, with a boot to the mountains face, he fell to the ground making it rumble beneath him, he was inert indefinitely to Zacks eyes.
He looked to the other man in black and Yu, and gave a small salute in the form of two fingers and thumb. The remaining and angered man calls in the radio with a serious tone. 
That does not sound like there will be pleasant company., Zack raises his right arm like checking the time, but then slides his free hand over his arm revealing a blue holographic display of a map of the airport and other things such as the time then a red text pops with a buzz, Alert! Then the map shows five red dots moving into airport.
Quick they are, but have they come prepared?, Zack taps on a sword symbol in one corner bringing him to a list of names; G59, SZ21, Twin Viper,..., he scrolls down to a stop and chuckles, Here we go.
Five black suv's with tinted windows and no plates appear, most converge on Zack with one going to Yu. Men in tactical gear come out and armed with smgs and rifles, one with an eye patch and scar underneath it takes a cuban cigar out, lights it up with swiftness. Zack looks around with tensed eyes and smiles, he taps on the display of a name called, Casual Beater 2.0, slides his hand over the display as it begins to disappear. 
 Silence was all there was among them, only the sound of plane engines and cold whistling wind, Zack couldnt stand it, Are we going to stand here all day like idiots or are we going to fight?, Zack rubs his eyes then the men look to each other and turn back to Zack aiming their guns, laying lead upon him. Bullets whistle and ring across the airport, Yu is taken into the suv, its tires screech burning the ground and drives off top speed. Man with the cigar holds a fist up, the men stop firing, Zack still and relaxed where he stands with not a scratch on him, only flattened bullets lay on the ground before him as if they hit an impenetrable wall. 
All the men reload with discipline ease, cigar man breathes out a large ominous storm cloud, he calmly pulls out a pistol and without hesitation fires upon Zack once then twice. The bullets just hit the air near Zack, flattened like coins they roll away. Zack's first thoughts are, I feel bad for these guys, well a little. The wind shifts and the clouds cover the sky entirely of darkness, light flashes within them with the crack of thunder. The wind roars, strikes of lightning surround Zack, the ground rumbles then splits open, the men and suvs are swallowed whole as the earth had a hunger for them. A few remain of the armed men as did the cigar man puffing another cloud, his one eye did not stray from Zack, he and his men did not faze from this. But there was a sense of fear in the men, just a slight smell of it Zack could tell. 
His face changed to the monster he was inside once again, the strikes came again, only at Zack himself. The power course through him, to his limbs, mind, and heart, his eyes were of a hurricane inside with a blue light shining through those silt eyes. The cigar man pulled a black handle with a hilt but had no blade, then his thumb pressed against a small silver button, a sudden steel blade popped out. Skinny it is but curve like a katana, it glowed a sinister yellow on its edge, his boots began to glowed the same way. This didnt look good as he began to rise from the ground and went at Zack against the wind.
Zack chuckled, then a bluish-purple orb surged out of his left hand that sparked continuously and he threw it like a baseball at the man. The man flipped in the air like a leaf and nearly missed the orb by a hair, but it stopped in midair and came straight at him exploding on impact. He shot another orb at the rest of the men, obliterating them. Zack slowly came back to a normal look as did the weather, except for the split opened earth, as Zack couldnt figure out how to put it back the way it was.
Zack slide his display out and tap on a phone symbol, then tap on a name, Dr. Vinyl (Doc), and it dialed his number, a sound of a grunt or two came out of the display, Mmh, what is it Burner? Im working right now on my new prototype, it better be important., Doc sounded like he was barely getting up, about fifties he sounded as of age. A picture of a black 1970 chevrolet ss with white racing stripes appears with the name Doc under it. 
Uh, well, the thing is Doc. I had to get rough with a couple of Tobias goons at the airport and well I might have gone a little overboard., Zack explained as he made it out the airport.
Doc shouted with so much fury, You what!? You have to keep a low-profile when at Japan! Tobias has eyes everywhere! Whats the point of going there if you go guns blazing the like the vlákas you are!?
Zack stopped at the exit to the area of cabs and buses waiting to departure, To make a statement, that Im still alive and what Im here for. Tobias will know Im here anyways, so the element of surprise is no option.
Doc calms down, Its bold, but it may quicken the rate it will take to find him, as he is too cocky for himself and will probably send more men after you, but you must keep a cautious eye. Dont underestimate him, remember what happened to your sister, Gina., a moment of silence fell upon them both.
I know Doc, thats why I have to do it like this, otherwise hell still run from the demons, hes made. Ill need that prototype suit sooner than expected Doc.
Alright, Ill finish it up in a few days, be careful Burner., Doc sounded worried for a second.
I will, cant promise therell be no fireworks though., both chuckled of joy.
Cant wait to see., then Doc hanged up.
Zack call for a cab went off to the city of Tokyo, so many people and advertisements around, one big screen showed the airport of where Zack left some destruction, and thankfully there was no witnesses to report what happen. Except there was still Ling and his goons that saw most of what happen, Zack would have to get more information, and he knew exactly where to look.
The cab drop him off at a shady part of downtown Tokyo, full body tattoo men hang at an alley that has a bunch of youngsters either wanting to party or wanting something else more with neon light all over the alley. Zack walks down the alley and finds a barred door with a bald bouncer that may have taken too many steroids, kids between eighteen and twenty years-old wait in line to get into a noisy black light party, some are thrown out, others get denied entry as for a few get inside. Zack walks pass the line and to the bouncer, he was just an inch over Zack, 512 it look like. 
Im here to see Haruka!, Zack had to raise his voice over the loud bass booming from inside.
The bouncer hold his ground and then he checked over his radio earpiece and moved aside for Zack and opened the barred door, he walked inside then the bouncer closed the door behind. He took  shades off and a few muscular men stopped him in the hallway.
This way. one of them said leading Zack to another hallway on the right then downstairs of a basement, two men were behind Zack as one led in front.
The leading man knocked on a door once then paused and knocked twice. The door opened revealing a ton of guns and men keeping maintenance on a few in a separate open room. Zack wasnt much surprise as he knew how Haruka worked, he had a few debts that Haruku owned him, he too owed Haruku too. A man relaxing in a chair, boots kicked up on a desk, he had a long black hair tied to the back of his head, wearing a black leather jacket, dark brown skinny jeans and has a christ necklace on his neck resting on his chest.
He smiles, Well if it isnt Zack Burner back from the dead., he gets off his chair and walks up to Zack.
Haruku., Zack states with a bit of joy.
The two hug and laugh patting each others back, Its been awhile hasnt it my friend., Haruku exclaimed.
Zack humbly smiles and says, It sure has.
Haruku gets a serious as does Zack, So, let me guess..youre after Tobias and you need my help, right?
I wouldnt ask if it wasnt impossible., Zack takes his bag and sets it on the desk, But, I hope this covers the fee., he unzips the bag showing more than billions worth of gold bars. 
Haruku scoffs, How do manage on finding him?, he has his guys take the gold to another part of the room of a large vault door open with other riches inside. 
Zack chuckled, Hell find me. And when he does, hell be expecting a fight.
Haruku nods and smiles, Well then, what do you got plan Burner.
Something a bit, fire and awe I suppose, also might need a tank. You still got Ryuu?, Zack smiled deviously.
Haha, I have her ready spit fire anytime.
Zack was now determined than ever and had what he needed now, the edge was now at its limit, just had to light it all up, then the fight of the century would commence.
To be continued?
