16 Just Training (2/2)

”Jordan! Fuck!”

”Someone gets a stretcher!”

Everyone stares at me with hateful eyes.

I know that someone is also watching from a lookout spot. She is such a naughty kitty. Bad pussy must be taught a lesson.

Well, this isn't exactly the first time loop she has gone through.

”There is no reason to go that far! You already won, man!”

Someone amongst the crowd shouts out.

”Since you guys have allowed Halle to get away from me, you need to all be punished, one by one. So, who is next? Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will just break every bone in your body.”

I make my intention clear before pulling out a metal pipe from the trash heaps.

I look at the pipe up and down, ignoring the cursing and shouting from the crowd.

Silence permeates the area when the pipe is reshaped into a deadly spear right before everyone.

This is one of my augmented abilities. To manipulate matter thanks to the billions of nanites running in my bloodstreams.

It seems that I am getting use cold-forging metal into weapons. It is probably really overpowering once I master it fully.

I pick up another metal pipe, forcing into another deadly spear.

I like to double wield.

”Since no one has the gut to stepping up, I will take you all on at once. From all the previous times, I realize that my spearmanship is not very good, so some of you will lose an arm and a leg in the process. I'm sorry about that. Just try not to bleed out before the show is over, alright?”

With both spears in my hands, I charge at the crowd.

Honestly, swords would be a lot better, but spears have incredible reach.

A handful of people lost their arms, telling the rest that I am deadly serious.

”Someone calls the cop! He's fucking crazy! Ah!”

One of the homeless manages to dial 911.

However, the strangest things happen.

”We are sorry to inform you that the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please be a man and take your punishment. It will be over soon. Thank you.”

The phone drops into the ground as severed arms and limbs go flying. Torrent of blood spray over the road and building as people run for their lives.

Some people conceal handgun, but the small caliber seems to only slow me down unless they manage to get a headshot. At which point, time just reverse.

They need a lot more firepower than that to incapacitate me.

Even so, I will not able to stop everyone from leaving the perimeter without activating Hydra or Shield.

But then again, it didn't matter if they run off to call the authority.

Everything will be over soon.

A spear spirals forwards, impaling a person through the stomach and pin him against the wall.

The person he is running in falls onto the ground.

That person turns over against his back and screams as I walk towards him with a bloody spear in one hand. Blood drips from the tip, trailing me.

My expression is full of murderous intent.

”M-mmmmonster! Moooonster! Saavvvvve me! Sommme body! Some body!”

Someone finally did.

”Stop it. Please stop it. Please stop killing all my friends. I already give it back. What else do you want!? Please just tell me what you want!?”

The woman shouts aguishly.

She could no longer sit back and cradle her head, blocking out everything while all her friends die again and again, never remembering what happen once the loop restarts.

Tears running down her beautiful face.

I really love that expression.

The hopelessness of her situation. It brings me so much joy.

Halle did give me back my wallet again and again, but I still go through with the massacre.

I am such an evil person.

I do not deny it.

”I thought when you decide to get out of your hiding hole, my dear Halle Berry. So, tell me, huh. Did you enjoy the show? Don't worry, it is only getting started. For now, please die for me.”

I severe her limps almost instantly. My strength has grown a lot as I exert my body.

Halle screams in terror as her body literally falls apart.

Blood explodes from her four stumps, but before she could bleed out, the ambient temperature drops sharply.

Halle is lifted off the ground.

My hand around her neck, causing frostbite to form.

Icy mist escapes her lips as she gasps desperately, struggling to stay alive.

”Don't worry. I promise you that this nightmare is not over. You will feel everything, over and over again. Let's go again, shall we?”

Before Halle slips into the merciful embrace of death, the surrounding change.

Halle is back to standing in the queue, waiting for her dinner served by the homeless shelter. She looks around, noticing all her friends chatting away happily, not remembering what had happened to them.

No one did, except her.

That is her nightmare.

Her heart drops when she heard the ominous voice.

”Hey Bitch! I swear you will pay dearly for that!”

I announce my approach again.

How many times is it now? I am getting a little bored.

These people provide absolutely no challenge at all. They are just target for me to practice my abilities and skills. I admit I have gotten a lot better since when I started this punishment.

Halle didn't run this time or try to fight.

Nope. She rushes to me and drops to her knees, pleading desperately.

”Please stop! Please stop! Please, I beg of you to stop! I will do whatever you want, just, just release me from this nightmare.”
