Scheming shadow.

"Hey look, we are surrounded! Is this supposed to be the plan?" Josh said calmly and didn't pay any mind to the men in black camouflage nem surrounding them.

Sliva on the other hand was also calm and said with with a smirk.

"Who says we are leaving through the door?"

Beep...

"Get down!!!" Sliva exclaimed

With the press of a button the area directly above them exploded.

Boom!!!!!!

An intense amount of heat caused the temperature of the room to rise rapidly as smoke mixed with the sounds of pain came from every direction.

Obviously those guards weren't prepared and many where hit by the sound and debris of the explosion.

When the smoke cleared there is now a hole above the room.

The explosion caused the reinforced steel to bend and twist in an unimaginable way.

But Josh and Sliva were safe under an energy shield that that he glowed with a gentle sliver light.

"Shit, you actually used the Atom ripping bomb!!!???"

Josh exclaimed with shock.

"Don't tell me we were just under an Atom ripping bomb!!!"

"Oh don't be such a cry baby, it's not the real one but the one made by Green"

Sliva rolled her eyes as she dispelled the shield.

'Good thing my shield was able to hold up, I absolutely cannot tell him it is the real bomb'

She thought.

They jumped and easily escaped through the hole.

"Thought you were going to rescue me through a sneaky approach, you guys planed a forceful approach..to rescue me...sigh....I hope this works.." Josh said as if in thought.

"I know, But this is the only way to effectively rescue you"

She said and continued

"This place is complicated and if we are not careful we could get lost, But no need to worry Black had already scouted the best route and he was the one who came up with this plan.... if he heard you doubt his plan he would kill you!!!"

As she finished this she handed him a map, on it was a complex structure.

"Ok, Sliva wait!" He said stopping suddenly.

This startled her as she asked "What is the problem?"

When she met his eyes through the mask she suddenly realised what he wanted to say!

"Nope, no way you're coming with me!"

"Hey hey, look I'll definitely be back this time" he reassured as he held her chin with affection.

"But.....But" She showed a look of hesitation.

"Hehehe,what are you worried about, i'm not a baby you know.... I am shadow the greatest fighter in the world!!!"

"No body calls you that" she pouted.

"Well it won't be long, it won't be long" He laughed and waved his hand.

He hugged her and ran towards the inner area of the construct.

Sliva had no choice but to leave without him.

Thud!!!

Some minutes later, she arrives outside and hurriedly moved to twisted tree.

"Hun? where is he?" asked a guy in black jumpsuit and mask.

"Let me guess, he had something to do?"

Before she could answer, another guy with huge muscles, red jumpsuit and mask and a crimson coloured great sword on his back interrupted and Sliva only nodded slowly as she removed the black jumpsuit and mask revealing a sliver one underneath, she then proceeded to change the colour of her mask to sliver.

"Typical Josh" one who was wearing gold said with a sigh and a slight smile.

"well we better change location before the guards find us"

A female wearing yellow said.

"Too late!!!" said another female in purple.

"Prepare for combat!!!" said a female in green.

The guards were already surrounding them by this time.

"Alright, I've been itching for some fight, Comme let's battle!!!"

Shouted the guy wearing red as he brandished his crimson coloured great sword like a warrior.

............................................

Whoosh!!!!!

A gentle blue stream passed through the passage as josh quickly, even the air seemed to give way. His heart beat and foot steps along with the alarms blaring were the only sounds that entered his ears.

Thump!!!

He stopped when he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching and hurriedly his himself by blending into the darkness around him.

"Quickly, let's go and assist the rest outside!" said a guard to his companion.

"Well, they must have found them I'll do them a favor by eliminating the ones I can so as to relive their burden. Josh muttered and two blue bolts shot at them.

Puchii...Puchii....

Argh!!! Argh!!!

two daggers were accurately embedded on their hearts killing them instantly without making a noise. He was about to hide their bodies when a thought suddenly entered his mind as a sinister grin appeared on his face.

He took the dagger and inscribed something on one of the corpse, it was a star with a bloody crescent like moon in the position of the letter c.

then he designed the scene to look like this two battled it out until both of them ended up dead.

"With this they will think there are spies among them and this will lead to an internal strife among each other as no one would be able to trust each other efficiently, thus reducing their cooperation. The suspected ones will be killed"

"Ha, this is killing two bird with one stone as it will distract them and make them kill each other there by reducing their numbers"

"sadly, it has a disadvantage as it might make them more and more wary of their surroundings, but that is something I can work with"

As he said this, he left the area and continued moving.

The map was really helpful in helping him to navigate in this Labrinth like structure. He avoided the more dangerous areas and areas with to many people.

As for the places with few people he killed them and continued with his plan.

It was after his third kill that he discovered his plan was slowly working. He noticed how they were wary of each other and their surroundings.

"HeHeHe, this is good" he smiled in satisfaction.

He later got information that some suspect were called to be questioned and those who resisted were killed on the spot. Some who were suspected also knew that they may not make it so they tried to fight their way to escape and this caused a lot of casualties.

Josh the cause of this incident was casually moving towards his destination. He occasionally stopped to eliminate some strong teams and if they are too much he will cause a scandal among them to make some of them seem like a spy and while they fight he will eliminate them one by one.

Although that slowed his down greatly as he arrived at his destination ten minutes later of what would have normally been three to five minutes.

In front of him stood a bronze coloured double door emanating a small fraction of scarlet light.
