Chapter 14 : THE HERO IN HIS EYES

Dark's POV

*throwback 9 years ago*

I'm so bored about sa mga lesson sa elementary school, it's so boring. So, I decided to go sa GW, buti pa dun hindi boring tas may makakalaro pa. ( cutting classes: wag tularan c Dark :] ) I heard na may bata ring halos ka edad ko, maybe that kid can be my friend.

(a/n : Dark this time was 9 years old, he still haven't meet Minerva this time and yes, member na sya nang GW at a young age, Minerva as well, but they still don't know each other)

I finally reach the bridge, ( Old entrance ), then I heard something, and dahil uchisuro ako,

" Quickly!! We need to move, Nahanap na nila tayo!!", shouted by a bearded guy na kalalabas lang sa isang truck ban basement. Then sumunod dito, another man na may hawak na crowbar and another guy who's carrying a kid.

I looked at the kid, he's beaten up, then may tumutulo pang dugo. What's this?? It's pissing me off, why would they do that to a kid.

I quickly grab my bag, may hidden weapon ako sa pencil case ko, a stunt gun, a gun, a knife and many other stuffs, I only expert to use these three and I'm bad at combat skills, but I know acrobats, bahala na tuh. (a/n: wag tularan c Dark pt.2)

I quietly followed them, they go to a van. And goes in, the guy who's holding a crowbar opened the back door and put some bags and I quickly throw knife between sa gap when it's about to close, then waited for the man to goes off. Nang maka alis na sya, the van's engine starts, dali dali kong binuksan yung likod at pumasok, just in time the van starts moving. And peaked the inside.

The kid is unconscious, may tela sa bibig nya, and he's tied up. I put some gps tracker sa ilalim nang upuan and open one of the bags, it has money, bundle of 1000 pesos. Sindikato ba tuh? Mafia? But why are they taking the kid. I opened all the bags all of them has money except one, one has a bomb, vest bomb. They're gonna kill the kid.

" Di ako nakapaniwala na kayang tiisin nang batang tuh lahat yun", the man who's driving said then laughs, then all of them laugh.

"Oo nga ehh, pero grabe yung iyak at sigaw nya, masarap pakinggan" man no. 2 said

" Sinubukan na natin lahat nang torture pero buhay parin", man no. 3 said

" I still has his fingers, here *then halakhak* " another man.

(a/n: the people in the van, Dark, the kid, 4 men ( the driver, the one who's holding the crowbar, the one who brought the kid, the bearded guy, bearded guy's at the front seat, the other two, at the next, in between them were the kid)

Then they throw a plastic bag at the back, which I saw, a fingers with blood and some flesh, may ngipin pa na dumudugo din. I almost throw up seeing this, it's nothing new but it shocked me knowing that it's from the kid. I barely survive some whip strikes.

I pick up the plastic bag and put it inside my bag, I can use this as a evidence. Then I stand, they didn't notice me and I pointed the gun at the driver, he saw me when he looked at the rare mirror and about to shout but I pull the trigger, the van bump on a pillar of a building. They all looked back, but I put the stunt gun to the guy in my left and slice the neck of the guy in my right. The bearded guy was shocked, who wouldn't? I pointed him the gun.

" Hah!! What do you think you're doing? Kiddo? It's our business, you shouldn't put your nose into other people's businesses", he said ba nakataas yung kamay. I shotted him at the head. Then I heard the kid growns

The kid looked at me, I climbed the chair para makalapit sa kanya, then put down the cloth in his mouth. Then he opened his eyes, "You're safe now, don't worry. I'm here" sabi ko bata. Then the kid hugs me, and crys. I patted his back, then he falls back to sleep again. I grabbed my phone and called our secret police.

*few weeks later at school*

The teacher were discussing basic and boring class. Yesterday, I meet a girl named Minerva, she's cute and maybe strong as well. Then may pumasok, it's the principal. " Is Dark from this class?" the principal asked. My teacher and my classmates looked at me, while I stand. "Po?", dba ang galang ko?

" May naghahanap sayo ", then umalis. Ako naman kinuha yung bag ko tas umalis din, baka c Dad o c Mom. That's what I've got in mind, but it's a member of the secret association.

"You're the one who save that kid from the other week right?" tanung nya while riding the car. I just nod at the response. "He has a trauma, and won't even let us touch him, maybe you can make him" dagdag pa nya. I just keep silent. Then car stopped into a private property, Hospital.

I followed the guy and he gesture me to open the door sa isang room. Once I've opened it, a kid jumped into me and hugged me tight.

" Well, that's a surprise me, but expected "the guy said.

Tiningnan ko yung bata, it's the kid I've helped, he has bandages sa ulo, more like all parts of his body, yung kamay nya rin, cguro dahil sa binunutan sya nang mga kuko, I patted the kid's back, and ask "How are you?" but he just stared at me. He's cute, parang tuta na di makaintindi. I hugged him and stand, in short I carry him back inside the room. May dugo sa wrist nya so mean na naka dextrose sya. The kid is still looking at me and smiles, and awkwardly smiled back.

"Can you let him, eat this?", the guy handed a bowl of porridge.

Nilagay ko sa mesa tung lugaw and gesture him to eat, then tumingin sya sa kamay nya na nakabalot nang white stripped bandages. I tried getting a full spoon of porridge and sinubuan sya, he ate. "What's your name?" I asked. He just shakes his head and says " No.... you only" then points his head.

"He suffers Amnesia, but it seems like he only remembers you, how bout visit him, for fast recovery?" guy said then lumabas. Hmmm, hello, sir it's your job....

" Listen, You want me to come here right? " i said then he nodded. "Then be a good boy, sumunod ka sa nga utos nila... okey?" he hesitate but slowly nod. "I'll come here after my class, and gusto ko good news and ma i rereport nila..." dagdag ko pa... then he clinched his hold into my sleeves. And looked me in the eyes with puppy eyes. "No, I can't brought you, stay here until you recover". Then some tears starts to form into his eyes, "So, dapat magpagaling ka kaagad" then he just nod. Pinagpatuloy ko ang pagpakain sa kanya.

Few months after, medyo okey na sya, and I'm glad about that. We became friends, wala pa rin syang maalala. A couple want to adopt him pero ayaw nya, gusto nya daw ako ang aampon sa kanya. The couple begged me to persuade him na magpa-ampon sa kanila, I know those couple they're good so I trusted them na aalagan sya. Sinabihan ko naman sya na di sya sasaktan nang mag-aampon sa kanya, and nagtampo sya for a day and then decided to accept it. After some time, they decided to go to Japan, and live there. Me meanwhile, decided to accept the offer of Minerva na combat training.

3 years after, an eleven years old boy just appeared in my front door. Yes, it's the kid I've saved many years ago. His name is Shinya, his parents allowed him to visit me. Gusto nya daw maging katulad ko, so I trained him, I discovered that he's immune to all kinds of torture, and he also became my first disciple. Hindi kami masyado nagkikita, he always go back to Japan, he visit me once a year, until I manage to became a gang master.

(The time when Kai finally got Kev, Percy and Amber as his member)

"Ey, Kuro. We're five now, you can train us na dba?", Kai

"Nah, I'm not a member of your gang, but I'm all your master" sabi ko.

"Master? You look so weak, and halos ka-edad kalng namin ohh", sabi naman ni Kev.

"I agree, how bout we fight you-", Percy but natigilan when he noticed he's been knocked down.

"Wait what?", Kev, who's shocked of what happened. Hindi nila namalayan na may lumapit sa kanila nor pumasok sa area na yun. And when Percy got knocked down, he should notice it before pa yun mangyari, the area where the guy is, were still in Percy's range and it's not even his blind spot.

Shinya arrived then pinatumba nya si Percy, Kev then look at him.

"Kuro can knock you all out like this, it's one of his common attack, if you easily knocked out by me, you're no match for Kuro, so don't underestimate him", Shinya while looking down at Percy.

"Sino ka ba hah?", Kev na naiinis na, that now standing up, he's been knocked down but wala syang naramdamang sakit nang katawan, which means it's only to knock him down.

" That comes five", I smiled then approaches Shinya. "Everyone welcome your new member, Taiga, he'll be part of your gang from now on", sabi ko then inakbayan c Shinya. Taiga ang code name nya.

" What, no , I won't accept that he'll be part of NIGHTMARE!!", Percy na nakatayo na. He's still pissed and mad at the fact that he's been knocked down.

"No, he'll be. Welcome to the gang, I'm Lucifer", Kai said then offers a handshake. But Shinya put a fist bump, and collapsed. They're all shocked even Amber,

"He's just tired galing byahe", I awkwardly said to them and pick Shinya up. It's nothing new to me. After that day, NIGHTMARE is finally became an official gang of GW.
