slang’ click click click click….. okay….. I have 4 different guns pointed at me. …”….” I can't even hear my own voice because of the noise from the helicopter.

None of them have stopped targeting me, but what did I expect. A stranger suddenly appeared in their helicopter, I probably wouldn't relax right away either.

I'm finally starting to sense a pattern. The first time I met my team they were shooting at me and I think the only thing stopping these guys was the fear of hitting each other.

*Click shireak*…. "hey shadow can you hear us now" came Bite's voice in my ear.

"yes, but how can that be?" I shouted.

“holy fuck, dude you don't have to yell. I just needed to start the noise suppressor in our system.” it sounded from Bite, I think I startled him a bit.

"What do we do with these guys, have a lot of guns pointed at me." I asked as I carefully sat down on the floor of the helicopter, trying to look less dangerous.

"At the moment I'm about to hack into their communication system." I could hear him typing away on the keyboard.

"Why does Bite need to hack their system?" I asked as the soldiers discussed something about their own system.

"If there are people who ask, you don't exist and this branch of the military doesn't exist" came dry from the light.

“See that explains that part. How is the signal? And how about hacking their system?” Now I was getting nervous, one of the soldiers started to look very nervous and he started to tighten his grip on his gun.

"Everything looks good from here, nothing to see on the sensors, it's the longest jump we've tried that you took with sensors on, but I can't see any difference between your short little ones and these long jumps." said Bio enthusiastically.

"Finally in their system, they're going to be able to hear you from now on." it came quickly from Bite.

"Hello" I said cautiously. All the soldiers' heads turned sharply towards me. "Code name the shadow I was sent here to clear up a problem and was told you were just above my target?" I said with some uncertainty in my voice. They didn't seem to relax any more, but who I assume was their leader reached out to me.

“Welcome aboard Betty. If your target is the dictator hiding in the fort below us, then you've come to the right place.” Dam he sounded like he spent the last 14 days standing around screaming at people, his voice almost sounded like sandpaper.

"He is my target, can you give me a visual of him?"

He simply shook his head "no, we can't do that, if we could he would already be dead. The Court in The Hague has declared that he has lost his right to life, due to his crimes against human rights.” It was rough, but it was no less than I expected.

"Then how do I get in?" I asked as I looked out the window. “I don't know, they just said that you would find a way in yourself if I could make it so that you could see the place from above. We have tried to get closer ourselves, but he has anti-air rockets on top of the fort, so if we get closer, we will become a target and parachutes are also out of the question.” he looked like someone who really wasn't satisfied with not being able to do anything.

"Why didn't you just bomb the place?" dam now I just sound cold.

"He has hostages we would prefer to get out in one piece if possible." Could see that it hurt him that civilians were in a pinch.

"Then it's a good thing I'm here. I should be able to fix it. Buckle up, I'm jumping out now” They looked very scared when I said the last thing.

"You're crazy, you don't have a parachute, and they'll also manage to shoot it into small pieces before you land." One shouted at the soldiers. "I have my ways" I started with a big smile before opening the door.

"Find a place where you can take the civilians and put it here" I said as I handed him a piece of steel with my tag on it. "In 5 minutes I'll bring the first hostages" was the last thing I said before jumping out the open door.

the sound of the wind whizzing around my ears spread a fantastic shiver throughout my body. "Hey team, hope you've got as many maps and drawings of his fort as possible, could really use some help with where it's best for me to land." I grinned as I enjoyed the freedom of being in free fall.

"What did you expect? I could tell you who put all the stones now” came superiorly from Bite. "Good, where do you suggest I land, I'm running out of air to fall through and they've spotted me down on the roof."

Nova's voice cut through here and I fell into the routine of obeying him, just as I so often did when we trained.

"Take care of him on the left first with your knife and remove him on the right behind with the knife again. The longer you can stay unseen the better.” Before he finished giving the order they were both already dead next to their anti air systems, their strobes cut open.

"The guard in the north tower saw you, and now he is dead.... dam boy! you'd think you'd been doing it for years.” Nova sounded both impressed and a little scared.

"I just had a good coach" I almost sang, while I danced towards the door in the roof. "And we have lost him," said Bio. "what do you mean?" I heard Tek ask.

"His brain started to release endorphins. Even if we know his proper name, he would no longer hear us.” why does she sound so worried, i've never felt better. "You're not saying he's one of them?" Asked the light, clearly not very happy.

"Yes, I'm afraid of that" came the reply from Bio.

"Hey I can still hear you guys" I commented as I slit the throat of another guard, this time because he was standing blocking the only way in I could see.

“That may well be, but you should be in shock now, you've just killed your first person, yet there's nothing to see in your brain but pleasure. You're a battle junkie, but now that I think about it, it's probably very good. Then we can take care of your breakdown when you're done.” and just like that she was back to her normal happy self again.

"I don't think I'm going to break down." I commented as I slipped around from one corpse to another.

"What makes you say this" this time it was Nova who asked me, why did he also sound nervous "Aren't these the first lives you take?"

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

"Yes, these are the first people I kill, but I am on a mission given by the GOD OF DEATH!!!, so everyone who stands between me and my target must be in league with my target, and then they are already dead. In my eyes, I am the righteous angel who comes to save the civilians and punish my god given target."

Damn I sound like some religious nut, but when it is actually a god who has given me this task, is it so wrong?

Why did they all get so quiet? "something wrong?"

"no no we just hadn't thought about it that way." it sounded faintly from the light.

"Hey, do we need some prisoners ourselves?" I asked as I "threw" one as far up as I could. It always looks so funny to see bigger things just like that vanish into thin air.

"No, we don't need any prisoners, he has already been sentenced to death, and everyone who works for him must suffer the same punishment." came it hard from Nova.

'Slang' Splat! Was that the sound of vomiting I heard? "what happens?" I asked as I removed the blood from my knife.

"it was just Tek who wasn't quite ready to see a person explode" came from Nova, he himself sounded like he wasn't feeling so well.

"Sorry Tek, I didn't think about you sitting and watching the live feed."

"It's all right, just warn me the next time you want to try that trick". Dam she didn't sound well.

"I don't think it's something I want to do again, it sucks too much, and it takes a strange amount of energy to force something as big as that cupboard into where a person is already standing. But we have then confirmed what happens if I force myself to land in a place where there is already a person.” I said as I admired my handy work.

I've tried to see if I could get two things to fill the same room at the same time, but results were a blown person and a bloody closet, so apparently they can't.

I wonder if it will cause the closet to explode and the person will be okay if I try to force the person into the closet space and not the other way around. Any volunteers? Maybe I can find one inside the next room. *Bang! bang! bang!* dam he wanted to defend himself.

"Hey Bite, did the camera manage to capture if there was anyone in there besides him?" might as well push the technology to its maximum.

"yes, there are two women inside his place, I think you have found their entertainment room, based on the women's lack of clothing, and their tied hands could indicate that it is not voluntary that they play along." it came quickly from Bite.

I didn't manage to get a good look so I can jump in there, and I don't really have anything to put a tag on here that I can throw, I guess there's nothing else to do but make a little noise now. if anyone asks, I can always say that he shot first.

"so girls, it's time for you to prove that Tek is the best in the whole world" I said as I took out my favorite weapons. Deep breath, remember unless he kills you right away you can always just heal after the fight. That must be enough of a pep talk.

Slang!, bang bang bang…

“shadow are you okay?” came a voice in my ear.

"That's what you tell me Bio, it's you who has all the feelers on me." I answered weakly, he clearly hit one of my lungs, but I think the two in the head he got back were more efficient.

I don't think he'll get up again.

"One of your lungs is punctured, but nothing else, so you can easily fix that."

Dam, it may well be that she thinks I'm disappearing into the fight, but if you present her with new data, she's completely sold. "heal" oh you lovely fantastic air. I have missed you for the last minute. the feeling of your lungs breaking down the dead flesh and rebuilding itself in a matter of seconds isn't the most fun, but you can't question the effect.

Enough about that I have two women I need to get from here. The hand on the wall and a tag placed so I can get back here easily.

"I know you probably can't understand me, but I've come to help you." I tried to say quietly, knowing that they probably didn't understand what I said, but I felt it was better to say something.

"what are you? Are you sent by god to help us, no wait god's angels wouldn't hide behind a mask so you must be a demon.” why could i understand what she said?

"Hey Bite, do we have any Danes who have been reported missing?" I asked scratching the back of my neck.

“No, not in that area. All he has are local women and children.” Okay, I didn't understand that.

"Then why do I have someone here who speaks fluent Danish?" It gets very quiet on the other end of the line.

"shadow, she didn't speak Danish, my programs tell me she spoke African." Look now, I don't understand at all.

"Wait, I think I know what's going on," said Bio. "Try talking to her again" I wonder what funny ideas Bio has.

"Are there any clothes here that you can wear? And I'm not a demon, I just prefer to be anonymous” the woman quickly pulled away as she realized she was still naked.

"There are clothes left in the closet, if you're not a demon what are you?" She said as she walked over to the aforementioned closet.

"It's amazing, you speak and understand African instinctively." it suddenly came from Bio.

"how does he do it?" snapped Light.

"I don't know how he does it, but I can see the language center in his brain lights up like a Christmas tree as soon as she talks or he talks to her." then it is also heard.

"It's all very exciting but shouldn't we concentrate on getting the women out of there" came Tek's voice, it was clear to hear that she still hadn't recovered from my experiment.

"Yes, you're right, I can't feel my tag moving anymore, so I assume they've landed now." I beckoned the women over to me and put a hand on them worth. 'slang'

the women let out a small scream as they switched from standing inside a dark room to looking in the middle of a military base full of soldiers ready with clothes and a doctor. "Take care of them, I'll go in and get the rest." I shouted to the two nearest soldiers as I turned towards the woman who had spoken.

"I am not a demon, only to those who have gone too far."

she shivered under my gaze but managing to find the courage to ask the question "who are you"

the answer was so easy but I couldn't help but make a little joke so I turned my back to them and said over my shoulder " I'm called the shadow"

'slang'

Let's see, there's only one room left I haven't checked, so he almost has to be there with the other civilians. The reason I didn't check it was very simple. There were two guards at the door and they were too far apart for me to kill them easily and opposing the two on the roof they could see each other so I knew I would be forced to make a bit of noise when I took them out.

The advantage I had now was that since it was the last room, it didn't matter if I made any noise and I could see them both, so it was time for a little stunt.

Ba-ba- 'bang' -ng-ng ,

"bite add two more to my kil count. What is it actually on” a few quick keystrokes later,

“you've killed 16 people today and I'm writing double points for style on the last two, it looks so cool when you do that.” Bite was always the one who had the most fun watching me practice such tricks.

It was actually very simple but also really difficult. The trick was to jump in the time between when I clicked the trigger and the shot reaches the barrel. It's easy enough to jump at the right time. The hard part comes when I have to get the energy moving around so I hit my target, even if they wouldn't normally have been hit.

"shadow we just got a scan of the building and a report on how many civilians he has in there and as far as we can count there is only him and 5 prisoners left and they are all inside the next room." said the voice of the light haughtily.

She was almost certain that we had him, and she was right in that.

"Shadow tag the ceiling, then you can get away if you end up in the line of fire."

"good idea Nova". Let's see, up in the corner is probably good. Then there is nothing else for.

The door doesn't pop open with a bang like you might have expected, no no that would be boring. It's a lot of fun just sending it high into the air where it can fall down from there. The dictator was so shocked that the door disappeared that I didn't even have to waste a bullet on him. I have enough time to just jump up to him and plant a knife in his throat.

The women and children he had planned to hide behind panicked that I appeared in their midst. Fortunately, they calmed down quickly after I explained to them that I had come to rescue them and that I wanted to take them to safety.

A loud bang was heard in the camp where the other two women were, and they could hardly believe their eyes when the dust settled. There in the middle of the square I stood with the rest of the civilians.

"Take care of them here too, and I'll get my target now" I shouted before jumping back and getting the ex-dictator.

"Shadow take him back to the base, so we can get his bounty" Light barely had time to say it before there was a celebration in my ear.

"Bite, I think this deserves a victory song." I said over the noise of the girls' cheers.

"A piece of victory music will be played on the speakers immediately, please land in the training room, don't want to get blood on my lovely computer" of course Bite worried more about his PC than anything else.

"ok" it would be good to get home and wash all this blood off. 'slang'
