The Conspiracy of the Elites

Boom!! Clark heard the familiar sound as the commander was launched straight to where he was by the air compression device. Bam!! The commander sliced his armor with his sword as he landed while Clark responded by hastily dodging to the right.

“Warning!! Durability reduced by 20% after that blow,” the low-grade A.I of Clark’s armor finally reported a warning for the first time. Armors don’t naturally report damage but if one blow dealt too much damage, the armor’s A.I can alert you as a precaution. Clark cursed as he quickly attached his gun to his back, he unsheathed his sword as he jumped forward trying to run again.

“Clark I am disappointed and angered,” the commander shouted as he rushed forward to engage him.

The commander wasn’t wearing any armor so Clark simply attacked him back, the commander parried the first attack force with his sword as he suddenly asked in surprise. “You are a high-grade soldier?

“Hmmm, you know villains die because they talk and ask too many questions in a battle. Talk later if you can catch me, save your saliva”. Clark snorted feigning disregard as he turned to engage the commander.

“…,” the commander was completely speechless as he didn’t expect the normally calm and obedient Clark to be so sharp tongued.

Clang!! Clang!! Clang!! They quickly started exchanging blows as Clark completely focused on fighting the commander. The commander dodged all his blows after discovering that he was a high-grade soldier as he cautiously retaliated giving his armor slight cuts here and there. He fought this cautiously only because his armor was kept for repairs. Despite fighting handicapped like this the commander succeeded in keeping the battle at a stale-mate.

Clark began to panic as the 2 executioners and the other soldiers gradually drew nearer to their battle ground. His brain went into overdrive as he started rapidly thinking on how to escape this situation. The commander completely focused on stalling him as the battle dragged on.

Clark quickly made a decision as he left his defense, he paid for this decision as he received a huge blow to his armor. His armor diligently announced another warning that he received 5% damage. He used the force and momentum from the blow to jump backwards as he threw a dagger at the commander. The commander dodged sideways while preparing to charge at him again. As Clark moved backwards, he did a back flip quickly storing his swords as he brought out his dual automatic pistols in mid-air. Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Bullets sprayed out as the commander hastily blocked with his sword activating the sword’s force field, the force field from his sword protected his face.

Ptui!! Ptui!! Clark heard the sound of bullet entering flesh as blood flowed out of the commander’s shoulders. He rolled backwards immediately hiding behind a tree, Clark picked himself up as he ran away with speed.

Whoosh!! The air parted as the commander threw one of his swords at him, he dodged swiftly as he didn’t want to take the damage that it will deal to his armor.

After dodging Clark turned back to shoot some more but his eyes widened as he cursed his luck, “why is the commander using so much effort despite his condition?” He lamented exasperatedly.

The commander started his battle art “The frenzied maneuver” as he rushed into the midst of Clark’s flying bullets. Whoosh!! Whoosh!! The commander sliced the bullets in 2 while he dodged the ones he couldn’t slice as he advanced to Clark’s position with speed. Clark made a calculation instantly as he threw his 2 pistols up while bringing his 2-form gun. Sniper, he whispered as the gun transformed into a dangerous looking sniper.

Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Clark shot 3 times at the commander as he was launched backwards from the force of the bullet, he blocked it with his sword though. He rolled with inhuman speed as he dodged the second bullet, Clark aimed his last bullet elsewhere as an emerging soldier’s head was blown to bits. The commander hid again behind a tree as Clark kept his 2-form gun in his back. His armor had a designated spot at the back for holding weapons during a battle which was a very good add-on during battles. He caught his 2 automatic pistols as they finally came back from their brief flight.

Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu! Clark released fire as 2 other soldiers fell down dead. he was disappointed as the 2 executioners dodged hiding behind a tree. He picked the commander’s sword conveniently placing it in his bag as he continued his escape sprinting away. “Despite how dangerous of a situation, I find myself, I don’t forget to make profit the sword was a gift”. Clark muttered with a chuckle as his figure disappeared into the jungle.

The soldiers shot at him as he ran faster into the forest while the damages to his armor accumulated further. The commander finally decided to stop as he told his 2 executioners to continue the chase. He already suffered too many losses as him fighting will only deteriorate his health further. Clark finally heaved a sigh of relief on noticing this as he continued his escape.

Clark was focused on running but was still calm enough to know that all his kills amounted to only 160 marks. He decided to get full grades as he tried shooting back at the pursuing soldiers as he ran.

Clark killed six other soldiers as he retaliated making them more cautious as they pursued while trying to find cover. This increased the distance between them as he eventually emerged from the forest after 30 minutes of constant running. He saw a town nearby, he checked and was ecstatic as his watch pointed to the town.

After another 10 minutes he finally reached the town as he found the local vigilante of the town on a patrol. The terrorist soldiers finally retreated as they saw the vigilante group.

Clark ran closer to the vigilantes as they pointed their guns at him and yelled at him to stop. “Finally, civilized people,” he thought in relief.
