Booming Thunder

The Leader of the MechSuit squad accelerated leaving his soldiers behind him. They didn't pick up their speed to follow him since they were used to the old general antics.

High in the sky, a shining white star streaked through the air. A long trail was left after its path leaving a faint arrow glowing in the sky.

He was cutting the distance between him and his prey in a few moments. His breathing was calm as he cut through the sky. He lifted his eyes to the sky pondering, the death of that failure of a man was far from going to break his legendary freezing coldness.

"A quick and cold death should be the best for a case like this." He decided while streaking through the clear sky.

For him it was simply another war, another battlefield. He was going to do as usual. He was only a soldier doing his job.

But this time, as the target's location was only a second away. His heart skipped a beat, an ominous feeling overtook him.

"What kind of beast is this again…?" A weird sensation overtook him as the sight of the rooftop appeared in his eyes.

This sensation lingered for only a few seconds before disappearing in the oblivion. As a man of the battlefield, he felt this feeling so much and so often that he was used to it. Impending doom.

An odd light appeared in his eyes. No hesitation could be seen in them. He was ready to dance again. Goosebumps appeared all over his body.

His speed instantly peaked for a second, making him reach a speed that made him difficult for the eyes to see.

Having been to a plethora of battlefields, the pilot of the white MechSuit was a war general and a veteran of many great battles on top of that. In his mind, retreating was never an option. Plus, this time, It was a family business.

Having steeled his mind, his body put itself in battle mode. Ready to face rivers of flames and torrents of metal.

Amidst the deafening sounds of his jets. A discreet metallic snap resounded, and a chain reaction began in the back of his armor. Several metal pieces moved in sync.

Their robotic movement happened fluidly clearing the way to the spinal cord of MechSuit.

The War Veteran's hand flowed to his back and firmly grabbed the handle of the metallic spine. He exerted some strength and a blinding light instantly appeared in front of him. A white shining blade appeared in his hand.

His speed instantly died down and his body's motion came to rest as soon as his motion decreased. He appeared in front of a black-haired youth. A fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he resolutely sent his blade streaking to the youth's neck.

"Clean and precise," He thought as his hand moved. This attack was something he was proud of, having developed it since the MechSuits era arrived. It has been refined on the battlefield, making him win several battles that would have been difficult without it.

Obviously, the youth that he was attacking was none other than Fell Pluck. He had noticed the attack the moment that it began; Having killed someone in clear daylight, he obviously wouldn't be relaxed.

Although he was chuckling. Sitting with the police crew as he watched Johnny get teased by Dorothy for his terrible loss against fell.

"They came!" he thought, the AI alarm resounding in his mind. His smile disappeared making his innocent aura leave his body as if it never existed.

"Fast!" he thought as a shining MechSuit popped in front of his eyes. The spectators of this scene didn't see him move. No sound was even ever produced. The shining MechSuit appeared like a mirage mixing with clouds. "But… this speed, although impossible I can deal with it!"

A terrifying aura appeared around him. Although faint, his experience in the core made him exude a breath that made it difficult for others to support.

He looked straight at where the MechSuit pilot's eyes would be and smiled.

His innocent smile added to the oppressive battle intent made the War General shudder. His heart tugged in his chest, as the ominous feeling he felt earlier reappeared. He was bitter as he was regretting his action.

Unfortunately, pills that fixed regret didn't exist as he could only keep unfolding the deadly attack. Trying to stop his attack would only make him face a terrible backlash of energy.

Fell could clearly see that the sword was carrying an insane kinetic energy, it was the first time since his debut in the path of swordsmanship that he saw such a heavy sword strike. His interest spiked as fluidly took his own sword from his pocket.

Soldier's Fortune cried as it flew from the smooth scabbard. Firmly clenched in Fell's sword hand, it cut through the air in a swift motion as Fell initiated his counter to the blitzkrieg-like ambush.

At the same moment his sword was drawn, an explosive strength appeared from his feet and coursed through his body. The marble under his feet cracked as it could not support the strength that Fell was applying.

His sword moved to the blade in front of it. Although slightly shorter than the blade, the sword didn't lack any momentum compared to it. It screamed as it cut through the air blocking the MechSuit's blade hack.

No sound was induced from their movement and only the cracking tiles made the customers notice the scene.

Dozens of heads turned in sync as the weapons were close to cross blows. The heavy saber and the black sword clashed.

"Although you are battle hardened, I don't believe you can guard this hit and leave unscathed". He humphed as the battle MechSuit's jet roared one last time, adding even more momentum to the blade.

Fell's forearm bulged, veins popped from under his skin. They looked like various worms squirming under his skin.

Fell's bodily strength grew to a ridiculous degree after his breakthrough and now a simple exertion of his full strength was ridiculous, no Energy was used in his counter. Only pure bodily strength.

A booming sound echoed as the sound produced from the War General Movement technique finally appeared. Thunder Haze was a technique that made it possible to conduct the kinetic energy from running speed to the user's weapon. Although its effects were incredible with the human body. It produced an even more, terrific, might when it was used in tandem with a MechSuit.

This technique was learned through enlightenment on the battlefield during his youth. And has been remodeled to be used while piloting a MechSuit.

This technique was special as even the sound of the attack was a blow itself, disturbing the enemy right before the impact. His might on the battlefield was incredible as he could appear in the middle of a big fight, leaving booming thunder as he attacked.

Unfortunately, the scene he was expecting didn't happen. His ambush was seen through, allowing Fell to react. And even his sound attack came to failure as it was washed out by the sound of their weapon's impact.

"What a monstrous strength," The War General grunted under his helmet as he saw Fell calmly counter his strike without wearing any strength-related suit.

He was even forced back from the short but intense exchange. "This is clearly a beast in human skin, how the hell did he even achieve such bodily strength. Is he made of metal?" he thought while forcefully stepping on the ground to diffuse the force that was sending him back.

Their short exchange left the spectators baffled. They only noticed the white armored man after his sudden appearance, blade in hand, ready to unleash a vicious strike.

Although a few of the customers noticed that MechSuits were close by, they didn't think that one of them would sneak attack someone from the café. To top it off, the target of the ambush was only a black-haired youth. Although his clothing showed that the youth dabbled in martial art. They would never have thought in their life that someone could exchange blows with a MechSuit.

"What the hell? Am I seeing things?" Said a young man dressed in white Armani suit. His eyeballs were gorged in blood, and they were close to coming off his eye socket. "Billy!? Did we both see the same thing? Am I dreaming?" pointing to the scene, He asked a long-haired man that was standing behind him.

"Master. It seems to be true. Everyone saw it." He calmly answered while pondering. "It looks like those MechSuit are part of the Golden Family militia."

"Oh! Still as knowledgeable as always." He responded without turning his head away. "I was against leaving the house, I always thought that this city was too boring." He shook while remembering what he just saw. "Woman, money, fame… I never lacked those… But this is the first time that I'm feeling this sensation."

Billy pondered for a second, before deciding not to answer his master as it wasn't a question. Under his calm and composed demeanor, he was in fact under even more shock than his master. He knew who the person in the MechSuit was. He recognized the attack, having read about it in a random report.

"Looks like the old general is facing a thick wall." He tough with a hidden smirk.
