10 Chapter 9: Murderer (2/2)

With a high kick, Magnus savagely hit whatever the named, the fool was and continued on and on, all the while shouting, ”Let go, Let Go, LET GO!”

After a long while, Magnus came to a stop only because of exhaustion and weariness took over him-- yet the fool still continued to hold on to him.

Magnus lifted up his upper body so that he could get a look at Lobal or Jovel, whichever one he was and instantly reeled back from what he saw. The man's face was a mess of flesh, bones, and blood.

Magnus would have reeled over to vomit, but the shocked outcry he heard made him turn around.

”Yo- you, you... kil-led him.” the last standing minion said, in utter shock and horror.

Magnus tried to explain himself, by saying, ”I- i...” but the large man was having none of that.

”Yo- you killed him.” he once more uttered, but this time in an accusational tone.

”I- i don'-t mean toooo,” Magnus said as if that was the answer to rid him of his guilt and horror.

”You killed HIM!” The large man said as if that was all that mattered, then he turned to face Magnus with red-tinted eyes and shouted out loud in a savage, feral tone, ”YOU KILLED HIM!”

Pointing the gun, the now anger fellow fired at Magnus, who quickly ducked back on to him back while trying to shake off the grip that the fellow he killed had on him.

Thankfully, the grip was slack, now that the goon was dead, and Magnus was able to get free. He quickly got up from the ground, and tried to run away from all this, and leave it behind, but a bullet cut that short.

”You are not getting away, you fucking bastard!” The last minion of Michael's shouted as he ran towards where Magnus laid, clutching his thigh.

Forgetting all about the gun he held in his hands, the large man jumped at Magnus, immediately going for his throat and choking the life out of him.

Magnus weakly struggled against the death grip he found himself in, he would never have been in this sort of situation if he was thinking straight.

”I am going to kill you, Magnus, for what you did to Lobal!” The man, who must be Jovel shouted as spittle started to fly everywhere.

Seeing that his resistance was not working at all, Magnus tried to reach for the gun that Jovel dropped his haste to kill him.

Jovel quickly saw what Magnus was up to, and let go of his death grip, punched Magnus in the stomach, causing him to reel back in pain. And that right there was the downfall of Jovel, giving his opponent a chance.

”Trying to go for this, huh?” Jovel asked as he reached right for what Magnus was going for. Magnus did not respond since he was too busy coughing and wheezing.

But Magnus was no slouch at all. There is no way he would repeat a mistake twice, there was no way he would let the enemy get the better of him for a second time.

Taking that window he had, Magnus went for Jovel's weak spot, his ankle, and knead it with all he had. Jovel instantly reeled back in pain, and fell off of Magnus, taking that window of opportunity, Magnus jumped for the gun and was able to get it.

Jovel saw that all happen through the pain, and gritting his teeth, he jumped at Magnus, but it was too late for him.

Magnus spun around with the gun still in his hands, and the first thing that greeted his sight was Jovel flying towards him, without a single thought Magnus fired his weapon.

Once. Twice. It instantly killing Jovel in the process.

Magnus looked on in shock at what he had done, then it like a truck. He just killed two men. Magnus couldn't stop himself from kneeling over and retching.

For a long while it was just Magnus in the empty hill and noises of somebody pucking out their guts. However before Magnus could actually vomit his stomach, Codex interrupted him.

”Do you hear that,” Codex said. Magnus wiped away at his mouth and immediately listened up, since deep down he was hoping against hope that something--anything would draw him away from those thoughts and emotion roiling in his mind.

”It is him,” Magnus quietly said.

”Yeah,” Codex simply responded.

Pushing off the dead body from his legs, Magnus got up from the ground with much difficulty and limped towards Michael's body.

Right, when Magnus made it to Michael's body, a giant metal arm grasped the edge of the cliff, then another, both arms were then able to hull over the rest of the body.

”Where are you, MAGNUS!” The Mech suit roared, once it was able to get to its feet.

”Right here,” was the simple response given. The Mech suit spun its head down to where the voice came from, and there he was, his most hated enemy, Magnus… who was holding a gun right to his body.

Michael was so shocked at the sight that greeted him, that he lost his footing when he was walking, causing him to trip, then rolled down the hill.

Magnus, who was putting on the bravest front he could, couldn't help it when it cracked a bit.

The Mech suit continued to roll down the hill, all the way down to the foot of the hill, past Magnus, and finally coming to a stop near the treeline.

Magnus did a full 180-degree turn and did the same for Michael's body, so that he could face the Mech suit head-on instead of having his back to it.

”Ahm” the Mech suit started with, so embarrassed that all the anger that it was feeling just a few moments ago, was all gone.

Feeling sheepish, and not wanting to meet Magnus right in the eyes, the Mech suit took in the sights around it. Straight away, it was greeted to the sight of its two minions lifeless bodies, making it jump back in fright.

With all previous qualms gone, instantly, the Mech suit turned to face Magnus and asked in a quivering voice. ”You killed them?”

”Yes,” Magnus responded, hiding that recoil he felt deep within himself. It would seem that even his worst enemy would not go far as he would. Still, though, the act must go on, if Magnus wants to get out of here unscathed.

Meeting the Mech suit head-on, Magnus spoke in a deadpan voice, and said, ”I will do the same to you as well, Michael, if you do not get out of that Mech suit. This instant.”

The Mech suit looked in Magnus' eyes, and all it saw was graveness, but in truth, it was only a hollow look that resided in Magnus's eyes. Apparently it would seem the saying is accurate; that a part of you dies, when you kill somebody.

”Alright, alright,” Michael said in a shaky voice, to scared to test Magnus. ”I will get out, just don't kill me. Okay?”

”You only have 5 seconds before my fingers start getting jittery.” Magnus simply responded, to Michael's plea.

In under a second, Michael was out of the Mech suit, which fell to its knees like a puppet whose strings were cut off. That right, there is the wonders of menacing threats at work.

”What are you going to do to me now,” Michael immediately asked once he was self consciously back into his own body. All previous arrogance and self-importance that he held were all defaulted out of him, now that he knew that the threat of death was possible.

”Wow, that was easy,” Codex said in Magnus's mind, not in shock but in letdown. And it was not because Michael gave up so easy, it was simply sadness of the state of things.

Magnus couldn't help but agree with Codex's statement, but the thing that truly occupied his mind was Michael's question. What should he do with him? It is like he could just let him walk, and the thought of killing another person made his stomach churn.

However, Magnus did not need to answer that question; another opponent approached.

”I am really disappointed in you little brother,” a voice said which came from inside the little forest, and the voice sounded as if the winds themselves carried it so that it could be heard.
