CHAPTER - 20 { Creed vs Logan }

Adopting the name Logan, he wandered the world, living a long life filled with blood, war and betrayal. With accelerated healing factor, keenly enhanced senses and bone claws in each hand.

Later known as the 'Wolverine', he was a test subject to Weapon X Program, and had his bones coated in indestructible Adamantium.

"Who are you?"

Creed asked. Looking at the man in front of him, with metal claws extending from his knuckles, there grew an interest in finding the mystery.

The man not only was strong, fast, and very sharp, he had insanely enhanced healing ability. One that could bring him back from the dead.

"I don't wish to share my profile with assassins!"

Saying that, Logan leaped at him with his deadly claws aiming for the body which was the easiest target.

Creed took multiple steps back, and swiftly dodged the claws. Logan was an experienced fighter, but Creed was on a different level.

Facing a beast like man, Creed just needed to predict the next possible moves and dodge or avoid them.

Bang!

Pulling out his handgun from inside his coat, Creed shot a bullet in Logan's eye. The shot didn't miss, and popped the right eye.

"Ahhrr!"

Shouting in rage and agony, Logan clenched his fists even more tightly and slashed forward. Anything that came was sliced.

As the two fought, Creed discovered many crazy facts about the man.

Bullets, swords, broken bones, ripped flesh, etc. Nothing seems to be able to kill him.

'If I can't kill him, then I need to trap him here. I can't waste anymore time on this mutant.'

Creed gave small wounds on Logan, the latter continued to try to cut him. Moving around in a circle, the claws cut all the pillars in the corridor.

"Ahh!"

Erupting with great power, Creed punched him on his face and almost made the world in Logan's eye spin.

Then applying all his strength in his fingers, Creed gripped Logan by his neck and stomach, and lifted him up entirely.

Not to forget that Logan's bones contained a high amount of Adamantium inside them, so his weight was far more than his size.

Boom!

Getting slammed, the wooden floor couldn't handle Logan's weight and the force, ultimately breaking down.

"Ahhgee…"

The punches and kicks might not have been that painful but the impact now, it was a really hurtful experience.

Logan gritted his teeth and tried to stand up but Creed quickly grabbed the long blood painted katana and thrust it in his chest.

STAB!

The katana pierced through the skin, and made way from between the ribcage bones, pinning Logan down.

"Stay put!"

Creed shook his shoulders, and walked towards the last remaining pillar in the corridor that had yet to be cut by the claws.

Like a solid rock, he clenched his right hand into a tight fist and swung at the thick wooden pillar with all his power.

BAM!

In a single hit, the pillar exploded into wood pieces, the roof of the house shook violently then under Logan's eyes, the entire roof above the corridor collapsed.

BOOM!

In the rain, Creed walked towards his targets. Due to the rips in the cloth on his left leg, the cloaking system around that area was damaged.

If he did cloak, that area would be visible.

* * *

Underground. There was a secret passage to the city built below the ground. Yukio, Mariko, Shingen, Ichiro and his female doctor, and the guards were rushing in the passage.

On the other end of the passage, more security and personnel were awaiting their exit to take them away from here.

"Father, did you see the killer?"

Mariko asked her father with worry in her eyes. She still couldn't get over the fact that he was injured within seconds after the fight began.

"I didn't see anything. He or she must be a mutant. One that can become invisible."

Shingen said with a grunt, he held his wound on the chest and walked beside Mariko.

Yukio stayed silent, she was trying hard to recall what she had seen in her dream, the glimpses of the future.

"Explosions, tons of rocks, dark places… Here!"

As she put all the information together, she was shocked to find the real picture. Yes, Shingen was going to die tonight.

That's what she saw, but that didn't mean others couldn't die tonight together with him.

"Ahhh!"

"Shit!"

Suddenly, shouts and cries could be heard from behind. The group saw that from the back, someone was killing their guards.

Da! Da! Da!

The guards around Marika and the rest, rained fire but Creed used a dead body as a shield to block all the bullets.

"Hurry! We must get out of here as soon as possible!"

Yukio urged them to make haste. Creed, of course, wouldn't let them escape.

He picked the dead body and dashed forward. With all the bullets used, the guards pulled out their swords to fight.

Creed threw the body away and grabbed his gun. With single pulls of the triggers, he killed most of the guards until no bullets were left on him.

"We haven't finished yet!"

Shingen slashed his katana, it was a surprise attack but Creed was well aware of him. In counter, he picked up a katana and clashed blades.

SLASH!

The two blades stuck each other, Creed pushed Shingen back easily. Yukio saw that and jumped in to help.

Facing the two, Creed wasn't a bit nervous.

BAM!

Yukio was kicked in the face. Blood flowed down her nose and caused her eyes to be cloudy due to the pain.

"Haah!"

Shingen showed his skills and cut his katana in an arc at him. Since Creed was using cloaking, the blade passed by his face and didn't make any contact.

There was a certain limit to the use of cloaking as it consumed rich energy.

Deactivating it, Creed appeared behind Shingen and punched him in a specific acupuncture point that had nerves in them responsible for passing electronic signals from the brain.

"Ahhhhgee!"

With mouth agape, Shingen looked towards Creed in shock and unable to react any longer.

"Father!"

"Lord!"

Yukio slashed at Creed and made him retreat backwards while Mariko rushed to hold her father in her arms.

"T-This is different. It wasn't supposed to be like this."

Yukio watched Shingen become paralyzed and not move at all. Instant trouble came to her mind. This wasn't what she saw.

Shingen was supposed to die while getting cut in half by the assasin. Did she see it all wrong?

"Father, please say something! Please!"

Mariko cried out in misery and pain. She wiped the blood off Shingen's forehead with tears in her eyes. What did she do to deserve this?

Ti! Ti! Ti! Ti!

Clicking noise rang in the passage followed by an unusual silence.

BOOM!

Up ahead, the passage exploded and the exit was blocked by rocks. Darkness slowly crawled forward and reached for them.

"I never failed… And never will."

Creed said in a low voice. The long katana in his hand, covered with a layer of thick red blood, reflected off the little light coming from the bulbs on the ceiling.

In the blade, Mariko, Yukio, Shingen, Ichiro and his female doctor, were all trapped with darkness surrounding them.

"You will have to go over my dead body, before you can get to my father!"

Mariko shouted angrily, she stood up with her father's katana in her hands. Yukio supported Shingen on the wall and stood beside her.

"I was gonna kill you all anyways…"
