172 Antoine Neurosurgical Industries VI : Chong, Sins Of The Pas (1/2)

At the moment I had this feeling that I was not to entirely familiar with, or rather it was a feeling I've grown to ignore. It was guilt. I was looking at a ghost from my past, a choice that I made that I would probably be regretting until the day I do get to leave this world. It wasn't until now that a lot of things made sense to me, and with that realization the guilt was a whole lot worse. But along with was anger, however I couldn't really blame Chong.

He loved Sarah even more than I did, yet she chose me, and she got pregnant. He knew and I didn't, and he chose to keep it from me as punishment fir taking away the woman he loved, and as a result Ron grew up for three whole years without his father. It might seem like a shirt amount of time, but I missed the first time he walked, the first time he talked...…I never got to tell his mother goodbye, to tell her that she was truly the first and so far only woman I've truly loved. And when she needed me I wasn't there, I was going around then world killing our friends.

Sarah left because she was pregnant, that much I now knew and understood. And some part of me felt like she wanted me to go with her, yet I didn't, because I thought she didn't care enough to ask. But even then I shouldn't have cared whether she asked or not, i could have just gotten on that plane and followed that Texas spitfire back home, I failed her. And in turn I failed my boy before he was even born.

”Itsss Been A Looong Time Kiiiiiiiiidddddddd.” He said to me with a pallid look on his handsome face. Seems like even with all the horrific augmentation and change done to his body, Chong still retained his good looks. But a face that heavenly on such a hideous body was quite.... unsettling.

”Yeah, it's been three years Chong.” I said to him as I moved towards where my guns had fallen, the magnet that had drawn it out of my hand seemed to have ran out of power.

”Areee you going to kill me again?” he asked me, his voice slurring with some words and being clear in others.

”To be honest I don't want to, but if I have to, then I will.” I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at him, there was a massive surge of energy running through his body. The same electrical currents that I've noticed within the body of every Meta-human I've come across, was the same thing in his, which means he was just like me, he had special abilities. But looking at how monstrous he now was, it's hard for me to comprehend what those abilities could be.

”Well sorrrrry for you, buuuut I want you deaddddd.” He said to me as he took a wider stance, I shrugged my shoulders at him as I bent down to pick my guns up.

”Well I figured as much, after what I did to you, even I won't let myself live….....she gave him my name you know, mine and Sarah's son. His name is Aaron, and he looks quite a bit like his mother, but he has my eyes. And he's the most beautiful and most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life, he's everything to me. It took me three years to find him, and now here we are in the same amount of time, face to face with each other. It's ironic really, you wanted me to live my life without ever knowing Sarah had a son, my son, and yet I find him and not too long later I'm here in front of you, collecting old debts.

So far everyone that's stood in between me or the future of my son had died or will soon die quite painfully. However I owe you for taking your life, and I apologize for that and would very much like to make up for it. But I'm not apologizing for what Sarah and I had, I know it must hurt like hell and honestly I think I can actually relate with that feeling, but not as much. It the thing is Sarah and I made our choice, I'm sorry you had to be the one who was left out at a chance at happiness, but that's it. I loved her Chong, and that's the truth.”

I said to him with focused look on my face. I didn't want to fight him, mostly because I'm not sure I would be able to win, so I hope I could get through to him, but it doesn't look like it's working, I'm no Naruto, hence the incapability 9f turning my enemies into allies.

”Youuuuu do not fucking geeeettttt to saaayyyyyy her NAME! ROAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR”

He pointed his cannon like arm at me and release a compressed gust of air. It spare into my chest and carried all the way to the bullet proof window of the observation room where the other scientists had hold up. It drive the air out of my lungs as my vision went black for a moment and I spat out a mouthful of blood.

{YOU HAVE SUSTAINED THREE CRACKED RIBS, AND ORGAN ABRASIONS! ESYIMATED TIME TO HEAL: 20:18}

Not that I needed the damn thing to tell me how injured I was, I already felt like I've been ran over by a food truck. There was a loud boom as air was boasted from Chong's back and he moved forward swiftly, crossing the distance between the two of us in a second. I rolled to the side and just barely as his shoulder smashed into the bullet proof window, smashing it into hundreds of pieces, most of which found purchase in the bodies and faces of the scientists hiding behind.

I took a step back and raised my guns, squeezing their triggers in the process and emptying their coils into Chong's hulking body. But it was almost as if he was not even receiving any damage as he turned to me, it print the holes in his body and black blood that closed out.

There was a dull puff, and all of the bullets were pushed out of the holes, causing even more of the black blood to stream down his body. I guess I now knew his abilities, he could control air currents within and outside his body in short compressed bursts, giving him rapid increase in speed and with a body like that, also in strength. It's an ability definitely tailored to his personality, there was never anything subtle about Chong either.

I quickly changed the clips in my guns, switching to my armor piercing ammo so far I've been trying to avoid take shots at his head and face, his hair had grown to cover the hole I had left there before, and I'm not too keen on putting another one there, however this was my life on the line. I'm not letting my son become an orphan when he just got me back, I've committed sins in the past, there no doubt about that. If I have to carry out punishments fir the rest of my life to make up for it, I would. But like I said, I'm not letting anyone or thing get in the way of my son's future, and I'm a very big part of it, I'm his bloody Dad.

”SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!!”

*BANG BANG!!* *CRASHHHH*

I moved to the side as Chong and his bulky body streaked past me, he went smashing into the massive machine that was holding all of Antoine Neurosurgical Industries lab rate, one of which was Houki. I felt my heart drop, but at the very least his elbow had two massive holes in it.

I was still holding back, I don't know is why, at the very least I could try to cripple him. Maybe whatever was done to him could be reversed and he would be able to live a normal life, it shouldn't be that bad a plan, however I was putting the lives of others in the line, that was not me. I won't do that for anyone except my son, I'm getting my head in the game, this should end...…
