The men continue to load the boxes onto the truck. Two men stand in front of the warehouse guarding the entrance with guns.

“Hey, you think we’ll get a pay raise after this job?”

“I hope so, there’s this girl I'm interested in. A real fine piece of work. A viper. But there’s this man she’s been seeing that’s been pissing me off. I mean the guy looks like wet tissue. However… I figure if I get a good raise I can buy her off.”

“Yeah well good luck with that. I need the money so I can pay my bitch of a wife her child support money. I’m just praying a uh…accident happens to her if you know what I mean.”

“I just hope nothing goes wrong. Last thing I want is to die in a place like this.”

“Hey, relax man. Do you know what this job is? We’re delivering weapons per Shoma Jiro’s request. Only a fool would attack us.”

“Like the fool who attacked his son Shou?”

“Oh, I forgot about that.”

“It hasn’t gotten popular yet, but i’ve heard that people in the underworld started calling him the black knight. Because that’s what the guys hanging around Shou called him.”

“Okay first those guys are in jail. How could we know what they called him?”

“C’mon man you know word moves around fast on this island.”

“Alright will even if this black knight guy is the real deal, look at how many people we have. I doubt he could take us all on.”

“Yeah you’re right.”

The two men fistbump each other while laughing. A clanking sound from the side of the warehouse puts them back on guard. They each exchange looks and lean forward turning their heads to the right to check if they can see anything.

“What was that?”

“How would I know?”

One of the men puts his hand on the others back and pushes him down the ramp entrance.

“Go check it out.”

“What? Why do I have to check it out?”

“C’mon man you’re already down there. It’s probably nothing anyway, just go take a quick look.”

“Alright, fine.”

The man heads down the ramp and heads into the right alley of the warehouse. He aims his gun forward and looks around.

“W-who’s there. S-s-show yourself.”

A rustling sound startles him and he aims his gun in the direction of the sound. He continues to walk to the source of the sound. As he squints his eyes he sees a dark shadowy figure in the distance.

‘What the- Aahh.”

The other man guarding the entrance hears the scream and begins walking down the ramp and into the alley.

“Hey. Hey, you there? Is everything ok?”

He slowly walks into the alley with his gun pointed in front of him. As he’s walking, Yuto is standing behind him like an evil spirit watching its victim. The man stops walking and turns around to see Yuto in the distance.

“What the fu-.”

The man lets off five shots as Yuto dashes toward him and knocks him out. The gunshots alarmed everyone in the warehouse causing them to stop what they were doing and pull out their guns. The man in charge looks at the first three people he sees and points at them.

“HEY, you three. Go see what's going on now.”

The three men go outside and into the alley. While walking, they spot the unconscious bodies of the other two men. One of the men looks in awe at a gun that has been bent.

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

“What the hell?”

Suddenly Yuto swoops down in between the three men.

“HOLY SHIT!”

One of the men tries to aim his gun at Yuto but Yuto grabs it and sends him flying with a punch. Then, Yuto kicks the guy behind him on the right’s knee. The third guy points his gun to Yuto and Yuto ducks down before the shots go off and uppercuts him. The guy who took a kick to the knee is on the ground trying to crawl away from Yuto. Yuto menacingly walks toward him.

“No no no no no please please.”

Yuto stomps on the man and knocks him out. The people in the warehouse are now on full alert.

“WAIT! Don’t go outside.” The man in charge declares.

“Whoever this is wants us to split up so we can be picked off. Let this person come to us.”

The men stay in their positions and hold their guns tight as they wait to see what happens.

All of a sudden the glass ceiling on the roof shatters and Yuto comes crashing down. Gunshots go off like fireworks and bullets start flying everywhere. Yuto lands down on top of one of the men knocking him out. He bursts towards the closest man and punches him to the ground.

Yuto takes cover from the guns behind a pillar. The men keep shooting until they empty their clips. When they try to reload, Yuto takes his grapple gun and shoots it at one of the men, piercing his leg and pulling him forward. Yuto grabs him and launches him at a group of men like a baseball knocking them out. The last two men reload their guns and prepare to fire at Yuto but can’t seem to find him.

Yuto reappears behind the two and kicks one of them across the floor. The other one tries to hit Yuto with his gun but Yuto dodges and punches him to the ground.

Out of nowhere a lightning bolt hits Yuto sending him flying. The man in charge with a black jacket walks toward Yuto.

“Impressive, but I'm not the same as these fools.”

The man points his right hand at Yuto and shapes it into a gun. Multiple mini lightning bolts form around his wrist.

“Lightning bullets.”

The lightning shot out from around his wrist at Yuto with high speeds like bullets. Yuto quickly runs to the left dodging the bullets. Once the bullets stop, he charges at the man and goes in for a punch. The man jumps in the air dodging the attack.

Yuto charges him as he lands going in for a kick. The man blocks the kick but is sent flying into the wall.

“Damn you’re strong.”

“You have no idea.”

“Oh so he talks. Well if you walk away right now I'll spare you. I may be in this kinda business but I’m a nice guy at heart.”

“Who’s the weapons going to?” Yuto asks.

“Not the talkative type huh. Sorry, it’s against my code to tell you that.”

“We’ll see how long that lasts.”

Yuto charges in for another punch. The man dodges and tries to grab Yuto with his electric hand. Yuto slaps the hand away and attempts to land a kick. The man grabs Yuto’s leg this time stopping Yuto. Yuto uses the man's weight to go in the air using him as an anchor and lands a spinning kick sending him flying across the warehouse.

“What the hell even is your power? I’ve fought many earth users and their enhanced strength is nothing like your’s. Do you… Have super strength?”

“Wanna find out?”

Yuto grabs a giant weapons storage box that is over twice the size of a normal weapons box. With one hand Yuto lifts the weapons box and launches it at the man with incredible speed.

“What the hell?”

The man dives to the left, evading the box. When he gets up on his feet he sees Yuto charging up a deadly punch. Yuto charges up his fist taking the stance of a knight ready to thrust his sword. In an instant he dashes forward appearing right in front of the man's face.

“CURTANA.”

Yuto launches his fist at the man at a high speed. In a fraction of a second, the man dodged the attack before it hit him. Yuto’s fist connects with the wall blowing away a portion of the warehouse. Yuto looks in the air and sees the man above him. While in the air, the man sticks his left hand out at Yuto. His hand starts to glow blue with lightning.

“Hound.”

Three streams of lightning burst from his hand toward Yuto. He quickly jumps left dodging the attack. When he looks up he sees more mini lightning bolts headed for him. This time Yuto dashes forward evading the bolts and charging the man. Suddenly, he notices the three lightning streams from earlier have turned around and are right behind him. Yuto has no time to dodge and gets hit by the three streams.

“AAGGGHH.” He screams.

Yuto takes a knee as he suffers from the aftershock of the brutal attack. The man walks toward him with his right hand glowing with blue lightning. Yuto goes to grab something on his belt and then grabs the man. The man hits Yuto with his right hand giving him a severe shock.

“AAAAGGGGHHHHH.” Yuto screams as he falls to the ground unconscious.

The sound of police sirens envelop the area. The man hovers over Yuto’s body ready to deliver the killing blow. All of a sudden a honking sound from outside echoes. During the fight, the two men in the truck loaded as many boxes as possible into the cargo container. They signaled to the man with their hands.

“HEY COME ON THE POLICE ARE COMING!”

Yuto gains consciousness and begins to slowly get up. The man smiles and runs to the truck.

“Until next time, partner.”

He gets in the back of the truck and closes the cargo box. The truck drives away as Yuto gets back up. He painfully walks outside and grapples to the top of the nearest building. He watches from the rooftop as the police arrive at the warehouse. As soon as the pain faded, he turned and walked away into the night.
