10 Shadow [Chapter 10] (1/2)

[Third Person POV]

At the moment Ryan was on a plane to Russia, it was is first time even outside the state of New York and he was going to Russia. If you would have told him a month ago that he would be going he would have laughed in your face, but here he was going somewhere he can't pronounce to make sure that Natasha was okay, he hardly knew he.

That was even more confirmed after what he learned from Fury, as he liked to be called, last night before he took off. Thankfully they could get him out of work with the excuse of planning his fathers funeral.

--------------------------------------------------------------

[Last Night]

"Not for me. For Natasha...." He had Ryan's full attention now, "We aren't worried but we lost contact forty-eight hours ago which means she is held up somewhere. While not worried we need her for something else so I need your help to get her back, I would send one of my own but you are a perfect person to blend in at the moment."

"What do I need to do?" Ryan asked seriously no matter what it was. He didn't know what they were into but Natasha was his first friend and he really didn't want to lose her, even if he said she would be fine.

"Firstly you should know that she is one of our best, we just believe she is tied up and is in need of a rescue at the moment, we just don't want it to go into three days. You are to go to (Random place in Russia) and get her out without getting their government knowing that you did." Nick said taking a seat on the chair to the side.

"Are you not going to tell me what you do or who you work for?" Ryan asked even if he was worried about his friend at the moment.

"Will you join if I tell you." Nick asked seriously.

"No."

"Then you don't need to know. Look just read up on this file and when you are ready I will have you sent there, when you arrive you will meet someone who will give you an alias. You will enter Russia as yourself though so no one is suspicious." He said throwing a file on the table.

Ryan picked it up and read all the information that it was on, apparently it had something to do with nuclear weapons though which was way out of Ryan's depth. Rubbing his forehead he still decided to do it and quickly memorized all the information the guy he was looking for had a super Russian name, Yevgeny Ivan Nikolai.

Like come on now.

"We lost communication at this building," he explained pointing something out on a picture, "We believe she is still there, all you need to do is get conformation and let our teams handle it. Do.... Not.... Engage!" he stressed looking at Ryan with a glare.

Ryan nodded, he knew that her safety was important and he wasn't trained in whatever they were so he wasn't going to risk it, he was a wreck it ralph type of guy. After ironing out more of the details Nick Fury left and told him to shower and rest since his flight was leaving at eight in the morning, he was quick to do it too.

He even forgot to mess with his Exp and Ability Points.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

[Present Time POV]

That is why he ended up on this plane but didn't mind it in the slightest he was happy to be going to help her, and now that he had time he was going to up his stats some. Along with dumping all his ability points into skills, he hasn't even touched the store yet, instead he was waiting until he mastered these skills more thinking they were enough.

Looking at the Points he had on him he went ahead and put them into everything he wanted, increasing himself a lot.

[Name: Ryan Edward Sommers

System Level: 2

Strength: 920

Defense: 780

Endurance: 780

Intelligence: 2,020

Resistance: 781

Soul Power: 202

Exp Points: 0 Ability Points: 75

Skills: Renewal Taekwondo Lvl8, Diamond Body Lvl6, Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Lvl6, Cooking (Master), Knife/Dagger (Master)]

All skills went up by four or two while he had enough to put 690 Exp Points in all of the stats that he had, he could feel the raw power that was flowing through him at the moment. The soul power also made him happy since at the moment he was able to use it for at least twenty minutes, which was more then enough.

Gentle Fist also increased his speed slightly when he used it, there hasn't been anyone who could block it yet so he was glad to have it. Renewal Taekwondo was honestly his favorite though, he loved the power from kick someone, it was honestly slightly addicting but it was mainly because of the speed his legs moved at.

Diamond Body was also almost to Bronze, but realizing how many points he would need for that he smile wryly, he just now noticed how many it would be at twenty, which was over five million. At least at 6% taking damage he was able to tank a missile or two depending on the kind.

There was one more thing that Ryan needed to do, "System Combine and use the Supreme Dimensional Box." Over the past couple of days because of the shadows he had gotten plenty of these, but he was waiting to combine fifty but he needed it now just in case.

[X10 Dimensional Boxes combined. Supreme Box made. Opening Supreme Box.]

[Item Gained From Box: SSS Ruyi Jingu, Sacred Weapon of The Monkey King]

[Ruyi Jingu: Can only be wielded by you, anyone else can not lift it.]

[Abilities: 1)Able to Grow and Shrink with just a thought from you in size. 2) Indestructible.]

Ryan's eyes went wide seeing what it was he read something about this thing once in mythology, he just couldn't believe that he was actually getting it for his own use. Smiling he saw a little silver pole land in his hands, it was the size of a tooth pick but it weighed a lot, he moved it to the ear hole he had from a piercing and put it there.

As long as it was somewhere on his body it wouldn't effect the weight of anything, so he didn't have to worry about the plane suddenly going down at the moment. Since he had nothing else to do and still six hours remaining he slept.

Seven Hours Later....

At the moment Ryan was taking a taxi to a hotel, he was to act normal until night time, by then he could do whatever he wanted to try and find her. Plus he assumed that the bad people would be at out night, who would risk doing something during the day unless you were a big time criminal who didn't care.

The place was three star at best, but the real thing was that the cold was killing him, sure New York got cold but not to this level which made him despair. Seeing as he still had a couple hours until dark he went ahead and took out Ruyi Jingu, he could practice with it while he waited for night to come.

His curtains were already pulled in place so he started by making it grow, just in length not size, it shot out and stopped right before hitting the wall across the hotel like he wanted. Amazed he made it grow in size until right before he couldn't fit it in his arms anymore, it was amazing that he could even hold this giant thing.

Grinning he tried to work it into a routine with his Renewal Taekwondo, he thought that it cost a lot of soul power to use Gentle Fist this could be used when he ran out. Smiling he was able to get minor accomplishment in his opinion before he needed to head out, before leaving the hotel he started a hack for the woods that was near here.

Leaving the hotel he started to walk around but didn't ask anyone any questions, he was just suppose to be a college tourist soiling his wild oats until the new year started. He already got new identification from Fury's people who slid it under his door, all he saw was a leaving shadow when he opened the door.

He was now Cory Matthew, he was on a trip alone getting over his girlfriend Topanga Lawrence, so he was suppose to get 'drunk' and act out while looking at things. Liking the back story he went ahead and got to work on it, moving through the crowds he head for the nearest bar, it was a little away from where Natasha was last seen.

Going inside he ordered a white Russian, which made the bartender laugh before he handed him the drink, he took it and looked around. This wasn't just any bar he chose but the one owned and run by the same person who Natasha was looking into, this was his money laundering business.

He found the guy sitting in the back relaxing, the only problem with Ryan being here was, he didn't know Russian so he had no clue what they were talking about. From the looks of it they were celebrating something though, shrugging he moved his eyes around the table and stopped on the girl who was in Yevgeny's arms, she was a beautiful blonde blue-eyed woman.

Seeming to feel his gaze she looked up and saw Ryan looking at her, she raised a brow in surprise not expecting there was someone dumb enough to check he out while she was with him. She smiled slightly, she loved it when Yevgeny got jealous and tossed her around in bed, tonight might be the night she gets attention again.

Ever since he caught that woman by surprise that he has kept lock up she hasn't gotten any attention, smiling she stood up but didn't let Yevgeny know where she was going. It would be better when he caught them later on the dance floor.

Ryan watched as she made her way over to him and couldn't help but to smile when she grew closer, the entire time her eyes never left his. When she stood in front of him she spoke in Russian, "Sorry beautiful, English only this was a spur of the moment thing for me I didn't have time to learn Russian." Ryan said.

She got an even wider smile, although broken he still understood her with her thick accent, "I said would you mind buying a girl a drink and having a dance."

(A/N: I am just going to write it in normal English this is a book so I won't try putting in her accent.)
