Beijing
----------------------------------------
The sound of a blaring horn echoed through one of many secret underground base of the second most dangerous cape organization in china.
The secret underground base is located in the border of beijing, hided deep under ground, buried in more than 2.000 meters underground.
Not many people know it's existance since it's hidden really good.
The underground base was created by a group of Tinker that specialized in the aspect of Stealth, Base, Underground Fotress and Defense.
The Tinker had been ordered by the leader of the Yangban to create the most sturdiest, stealthiest and strongest secret underground base because the said leader had placed something big and secret in it, the only one who know what it is is the Tinker –Who had been executed to protect the secret from being leaked to their enemy, the Mover who had transported the thin –who had also been executed, and the leader of the Yangban himself.
The secret underground base is one of the famous base because of it's reputation of being able to protect itself from being their enemy who had somehow know it existance and tried to invade it.
And now, the same secret underground base is currently being invaded again.
'Code Red' 'Code Red' 'Code Red'
'Three Individuals had invaded the front entrance'
'All Capes, Prepare For Combat'
'Eliminate Invaders Immedietly'
'Protect Project 'Horizon' and Project ''Huífù' At All Cost'
That's what does the voice on the earpiece of every member of the Yangban who is inside the secret underground base said.
Many non-powered gang member had goes running inside the vault inside the secret underground secret base.
Their secret base had been attacked so many times to the point where they doesn't need to be ordered.
While the none-powered gang member busy hiding behind the secret vault, the powered member is rushing toward the entrance.
Many of the coming together with a group.
One of the group is being leaded by a japannese man wearing a tight black-colored spandex with a streak of white-colored lighting line covering his whole costume.
"Kuro." said one of the cape of the Yangban who is being leaded by the black- colored spandex wearer.
"What is it ?." the now named kuro answered back without looking at the cape.
"Team Natsu and team Mugeoum had spotted the intruder and are on their way."
"Told them to wait for the rest of the team! This is an order for the higher up!."
"Understood sir!."
With his respond had been given, the now named kuro start to increase his pace, his Mover 6 rating making him becoming more blurry to the outsider.
The rest of the team that he lead noticed his increase of pace, and began to push themselves to keep up with him.
They soon reached their destination, the entrance of the secret underground base is consisted with nothing but a tinker tech vault doo blocking the entrance, while the wall around it is the earth itself, making it become total-impenetrable, since in the past one of the invader bring a tinker tech canon that shot an energy bullet that are equal to the combined power of twenty nuclear bomb.
That's what kuro originally believe at least, what does every cape that working with Yangban believed for years.
Their believe had been broken when they caught the sight in front of them.
The giant vault door, the same vault door which the tinker himself proudly boasting to be unable to be destroyed is now bended, there's a deep print of a fist on the middle of the giant vault door, the vault door which are having the height of 100 meters and having the same density of a diamond.
The front entrance shake as another deep print of a fist embedded it self on the giant vault door, right next to the first print.
Many cape of the Yangban having their leg shake, some of them even openly dropped down in shock on the spectacle.
The cave shake once more as another fist printed itself on the giant vault door.
And another.
And another.
And another.
The front of the entrance exploded as another punch make it way through the vault door, making the said vault door launch itself at the gathering capes in front of it at the speed of Mach 13.
Some of the capes that gathered in front of the vault door tried to escape the sure-kill projectile by either jumping or using their power to stop it.
The keyword is 'tried'.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
None of them able to stop it or dodge it since the vault door is too big and moving too fast for their eyes to follow.
The vault door had mutilated and decapitated all member of the capes who had gathered right in front of the entrance.
----------------------------------------
Her name was Gumiho, she is one of the member of the 'Natsu' team member are a cape of Yangban. The second most hugest underground organization that are based In china.
She is raised in one of the mountain by her parents, she lived with her parents until her age is 16 and geos migrated to the Beijing to have a luxury life.
She along with many other migrators are kidnaped by the Yangban on her way to Beijing and forced to join them.
She was one of the many guinea pig of the forced trigger experiment, she had suffered for a few months being tortured by her kidnapper until she finally break and triggered with a Master-Shaker illusion type power combo, her mind has been dulled due to the insane pain that she had experienced and had been turned into a mindless tool for the Yangban to use.
Her cape name is 'Gumiho', with the ability to manifest a 50 meters field that will slowly turn the people inside it into a mindless slave, similliar to her current state.
She had lost her abilities to felt emotion since she obtained her power, it had been years since that time.
But tonight she finally regained one of her emotions.
Fear
She didn't really think too much when she heard that there are an invader attacking the underground base, since there are many attempt before hand.
But when she heart that there are only three intruders, her guard is instantly up, no fool would send only three capes to invade an enemy secret underground base, that means the intruder are really strong.
So she wore the best tinker tech armor and tinker tech weapon that she had, increasing her Master-Shaker power even further.
She then joined her group, following right behind Black Natsu, a cape that are originated from japan, and are the leader of the 'Natsu' squad.
When she had arrived she couldn't help to felt herself in daze.
The giant vault door is actually bended!
There are someone who is strong enough to bend the giant vault door who is famous for being unbreakable!
Her leg trembled as many print of a fist embedded it self on the vault door.
And when the vault exploded with a bang, she covered her ears as the scream of her fellow cape echoed through the entrance.
But she kept her guard up even as the feeling of utter terror and fear dwelling in her stomach.
For the formerly vault door who is famous for being unbreachable had been breached.
And the one who breach it had come.
----------------------------------------
The intruders didn't start their invasion with a flashy show of power o a long monologue.
They started it with ...... Bickering with each other ?
"Hah! Look at you! 6 punch to break a 100 meters vault door !? since when did you get so weak!?"
"Shut up Lanshley! I felt a little sick today! If not then I would break it in 4 punch!"
"Excuses! Just admit it already ! just admit that you are getting older and weaker! I know it from the way you took your punching position!."
"Senior Lanshley! Please stop antagonizing senior Lee! Your bickering is really embrassing!."
the three intruders come to the light while bickering with each other, the first two are fighting against each other while the third one trying to stop them.
The first figure who had come out from the front entrance is a tall man, having the height of 192 centimeters, he is wearing a black-colored tuxedo with a red-colored tie tied around his neck, he wear a set of white-colored glove that have a silver-colored chain attached in it, he wear a black-colored shoes that have a metal plate armor attached in front of the shoes.
He wears no mask, blatantly showing the feature of his face toward the cape of Yangban, he have an oval face with a sharp nose, with a black hair and brown eyes completed his features.
The second one who enter is a freaking Gothic loli!
She was wearing a floral dress that have the same color as the dark sky that looming the night, her hair rolled up into a bun. Her tender skin as white as a snow and her large eyes was sparkling. Her exquisite and adorable face, while her delicate full lips were dark black.
She also wore a black-colored mini-sized shoe that the first guy wore. The Gothic loli brought a black-colored umbrella with a miniature skull attached on the tip In her left hand, and also, no mask could be seen on her beautiful doll-like face.
The little loli patted that flat chest of hers and let out a low sigh. Before bending her head toward the now busted up entrance "Fine.. I will drop this matter for you Little Beard." She said toward the busted up entrance.
"Uuuhhhh... My name is Hebert Senior, not HeBeard. You know that." A nervous voice responded back toward the gothic Lolita, making the said loli let out a huff as she crossed her tiny arms.
"Do you think I care ?." the gothic Lolita responded back toward the voice.
"Knowing your history with giving other people weird name, I suppose not." The voice answered back in a dry tone.
"Hmph! At least you know that much! Better than this old goat right here!" the gothic Lolita said while pointing the skull on the tip of her umbrella toward the giant right beside her.
The said old goat only let out a growl of annoyance.
"Why are you still staying inside the Cubic !? come out already!" the gothic Lolita shouted toward the voice.
"Y-Yes!" the voice said before hurriedly walk toward the gothic Lolita.
The owner of the voice is a man that have a height slightly above average, standing at the height of 177 centimeters and having a quite muscular body, he also wear the same tuxedo that the first guy to came out wore, the difference between the two of them is the color of his tie, which is white.
He wears a white-colored leather glove in his right hand while wearing a black-colored one on his left hand, the black-colored glove has an alpha symbol printed on the top of it while the white-colored one had a beta symbol printed on it.
He wear no mask on his face, making the gathering cape of the Yangban could see the square-shaped glasses on his face, he have a green-colored pupil, a brown-colored messy hair and a pointy nose.
"Sorry-Sorry! This is my first mission, I kind of ner-"
Boom!
His nervous voice stopped when a fiery punch met his cheek, making him flied backward toward the place where he walked from, the impact of the meeting of his back and the earth cold earth making a really huge explosion inside the cave that making it shook slightly, making the dust flying wildly in the air on the front entrance.
The owner of the fiery fist, Black Natsu, the leader of the team 'Natsu' leap back toward his former position after delivering fatal fiery blow toward the new incomer, believing to had eliminated one of the intruders.
His ears picked up the word that the other two intruder said as they comrade exploded on their back.
"Should I step down myself and give him a hand?" that was the giant voice.
"Nah! Let him do it alone, his borrowed power are strong! I give him that! But he's still green! he need some experience." That was from the gothic Lolita.
"Alright then." The giant answered back.
He frowned when he heard their conversation, step down and lending a hand ?, let him do it alone ?, what does they mean ?.
D-did they underestimating them !?,they are the second strongest faction in Asia and they dare to understimating them !?, blood rushing toward his face, his face turned into red from rage.
It seem he is not the only one who heard the intruder muttered toward each other, since most of his comrade began to turn red from anger.
"Are you underestimating us you bitch ?." asked the leader of the 'Katsu' team, her voice is low, only above whisper, but it seem they heard it since the gothic Lolita answered back.
"So what if we are ?." she asked with a sneer. An action that making their anger skyrocketed.
"Why you! Die bitch!." The leader of team 'Katsu' roared as her has began to shine, a black miasma began to compressed around her hand and began to glow brighter.
The female leader then unleash her attack, the after effect of her attack causing the cape around her to flied backward because of the shock wave.
The black miasma that the leader of team 'Katsu' launched itself toward the gothic Lolita at the speed that are comparable to the speed of the vault door. The female gothic Lolita only letting out as smile even as the incoming black miasma had nearly reached her.
The black miasma was about to touch the gothic Lolita small nose when the said Lolita elegantly took a step back and letting a giant hand stopped the black miasma with it palm and then crush it.
The sound of the explosion that come from the black miasma causing the cave to shudder once more, almost every glass inside the secret underground base had shattered from the sound, the only glass that didn't shatter was the tinker-tech glass that they used to contain project 'Horizon' and project 'Huífù'.
Black Natsu and the other cape who is still standing could only staring in sock at the out stretched hand that still leaking out a bunch of smoke, their mind failed to grasp the fact that a normal human hand could compress a compressed miasma that have the same amount of force as a nuclear bomb and having the said hand to be still intact.
"How many times do I have to told you, never provoke your enemies, your antic when interacting with other people sometimes make me felt embrassed, girl your age should have some manners" The owner of the giant hand said simply, he didn't even show any kind of expression that someone had when they felt pain, his face was as flat as the gothic Lolita chest.
"Hmph! It's their own fault for taking the bait in the first place!." The gothic Lolita responded with a huff.
"And what is your problem anyway !? you are not my father !" she continued angrily, pointing her tiny index finger toward the giant beside her.
The giant only let out a huff of amusement before replied back with a small smile on his face. "True, I'm not your father... Not yet anyway."
The small gothic let out a soundless choke as she heard his reply, her face morphed into a disgusted expression for a brief moment before returning into a flat, not before giving the smiling giant a withering glare.
She let out a groan before bending her head toward the hole that her second companion had created by crashing into it.
"How long do you think you will taking a nap ? we don't have all the time you know."
"Sorry, I still didn't get used to being exploded right in the face." A hoarse voice replied back in a whisper tone.
"Really ? Bah! Anyway, since there are about 1000 capes in-"
"1034 capes."
"...... Ooookayy ..... let's ignore that old goat for a bit, since there are 1034 capes in this underground base, I will give you a little bit of a leeway for this one! I allow you to use your National Treasure!."
"Really ?." the hoarse voice asked.
"Yup!."
"Then I wouldn't hold back." The hoarse voice said, before then a loud sound of explosion come from the hole and the sound of scream could be heard from one of the capes from Yangban.
Black Natsu, Kuro, and many other team leader stared their back in shock at the spectacle, clad in a silver-colored armor is the nervous looking guy back then, gone his nervous face, replaced with an intense seriousness that send chills to their back.
He had discarded the black tuxedo that he wore, now clad in a Turquoise grecian tunic with that covered all of his chest except the front of the torso, which is purposefully being left uncovered started from the torso all the way to his back, he wore a matching pants with a red-brown cloth covering the lower part of his body and wore a golden furred giant lion pelt as his helmet that covered the top of his head, leaving his face completely alone without any kind of identity protection.
In his right hand were a giant cub, having the height almost as tall as the one who hold it, gripped firmly on the holder hand in a horizontal position, a small of blood trailed down from the tip of the giant club, making it known that it had take a life of a living being.
The holder of the giant club bended his body slightly toward the ground and pressing the tip of the club to the ground, making the ground beneath it cracking from the pressure, before then swung the club with a really strong force, the force of the swing making a really strong shock wave that knocked back the other capes of Yangban that are gathered around him.
Some Brute capes that use some kind of close ranged tinker-tech weapon such as spear, sword, and axe that aren't being blown by the force of the shock wave started to getting close toward the intruders in hope to be able to cause some damage to him by using their tinker-teach weapon, only to felt an enormous damage of horror when they saw the tinker-tech close range weapon that they used to hurt him are unable to piece the piece of clothing on his chest or pierce the head of a lion.
They didn't get the chance to retreat back as they felt something cut them in half, Black Natsu could only stare in shock at the lifeless body from his comrade fall down after being cut down in half.
Unlike Black Natsu. Kuro, the head of the underground secret base had started to command the blaster of the team 'Katsu' to charge their blast and the brute of the team 'Mugeoum' to prepare to charge toward the club wielder when he give the command to.
He wait for a the right moment, blatantly ignoring the cries of pain form his fallen comrade, losing a comrade in a cape fight is normal for him, eliminating the intruders was what's more important.
He didn't have to wait for long before he get the chance, the intruder who wiled the giant club is exhausted from fighting them, it's proven when the holder of the giant club does a vertical slash to pummel a mover from Yangban, the club that he hold are stuck to the ground, making his back vulnerable since he need to take out the club first by bending his body forward, and his movement are way slower than before.
He inhaled a bunch of air before shouting his command.
"NOW!"
The blast that the blaster had charged surged forward toward their enemy, the intruder let out a loud cries of pain when the blast hit his back, blasting him off toward the end of the room, accidently killing the capes that are on his path.
