Against Smith Moral

My roll aside was quite prompt and effective but it also made me commit a grave mistake.

BANG!

My heart chilled noticing that Smith had pulled out a gun and shot towards Seamus' direction. Aghast, I turned to look at Seamus who spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Before I knew it, Smith flicked his wrist and pointed the weapon at me.

BANG! BANG!

I ducked under both the first and second shot and threw my military dagger at the man from this lowered position. Smith seemed to have sensed the danger to his nether region as he swiftly stepped aside.

The area wasn't large enough for this small action to not become an opportunity, I covered my fist in the obscuring fog and punched out towards the man's face.

Somewhat dazzled by the attack my fist landed on smith successfully causing his head to flinch.

"Urgh…!" Smith kicked my knee within that short interval causing me to wobble from the sheer strength.

"K- Argh!" A side hook then sent me falling sideways. My head felt dizzy but I attempted to perform a sweeping attack.

BANG!

By sheer luck the bullet missed me. I hurried to my feet and body slammed the man causing both him and I to fall towards the ground.

All along, Smith's expression was a twisted mix of scorn and indifference. It was an expression not foreign to me.

"You beast-!" Smith shouted as we both tussled on the floor. It was a very narrow contest of strength.

Ultimately however I managed to reign and sit on top of him. Smith tried to shoot me in retaliation but I keenly noticed and flashed my hands towards his arm.

This made me lose some of my power over him however and he succeeded in pushing me aside.

I was still holding onto his weapon-bearing arm, however.

BANG BANG CLICK

Smith tried shooting to free his arm but with it firmly planted on the ground all the shots were misses that hit either the floor or wall beyond me.

"You are out of bullets" I said before pushing myself away from Smith and reaching towards my knife. The old man might be weathered but he wasn't slower to try and stand up.

He wanted to reload his weapon within this short timeframe but he forgot to account for something.

BANG

"You- I thought you died. Argh…!" Seamus shot the man and flashed him a mocking smile.

"What can I say, I am an A-list actor" Seamus said causing Smith's indifferent facade to falter and return to his initial savagery.

BANG CLICK

Seamus shot off another bullet before hearing his gun becoming jammed. This caused him to frown.

"HAHAHA! This alone… This alone isn't enough!" Smith shouted while bleeding from his chest and arm.

While he was distracted, I lunged towards him with the intent to finish him off.

RUMBLE

The ground didn't seem to like for the fight to climax however as it started to shake.

It gave the impression that something large was rolling down the flight of stairs causing us underneath to be subjected to an earthquake.

"Wait…" That must have been exactly what was going on!

I stopped and turned to grab Seamus who flinched when I suddenly yanked him.

"You mongrels! Wait a moment-!" Smith commanded seeing me suddenly grab Seamus and bolt towards the door he just came out of.

BANG

The loud sound wasn't one of a gunshot but the sound of me shutting the door.

Bang bang bang

The subsequent sounds were smith moral banging on the door.

"YOU BOTH DESERVE TO DIE!" Smith shouted from behind the door causing me to sigh in relief.

"That was… easier than I thought" I muttered and noticed my heartbeat was starting to return to a normal pace.

"Damn it Dan! You are going to cost me an arm!" Seamus said complaining about my treatment towards him.

I had to say, those were some rude words to tell a savior. Well, I also nearly failed to save him.

"Hold on… how are you alive?" I asked under the rhythm of a man banging on a door as well as the vibrations that warned me of danger.

"He missed" Seamus said before removing the ragged shirt he wore and revealing roughened-up muscles and burning skin.

"But what about the blood…?" I said continuing to express my confusion.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG

Gunshots from Smith's reloaded weapon were firing out onto our door but it was a really pitiful attempt to break it down. This was supposed to be a safe room so how could the door buckle from some shots?

"A blood pack" Seamus said before struggling to stand up. He also took the liberty to stretch his muscles and flex a bit.

"I'm feeling better now" He said continuing his exercise.

"I can see that" I said before moving away from the door. I had locked it and Smith clearly couldn't enter.

"AAAAHH!!! YOU ARE CONVERSING YOU DAMN! FILTHY! AAAAAH!!!" The raging cry of a wrathful beast tickled my ears as I moved away from the door and inspected the room.

At a glance, it was sort of like a studio. There was an open kitchen, a couch that could be turned into a bed, a table with some simple chairs, and of course, the wall of monitors every studio ought to have.

"These are security cameras" Seamus commented as he glanced past all the monitors.

"Oh, look, that one has your information" Seamus said pointing at a screen in the corner.

It had a picture of me as well as some details such as my height, weight, suspected mutations etc.

"A wraith and an Ocean Drifter serum huh…" The details of what I was injected with sounded somewhat underwhelming. Whatever the case the powers were being surprisingly helpful so I supposed there wasn't much to complain about.

"Hey, the rumbling is finally closer…" Seamus said as he looked for a round in his pocket to reload his handgun.

"Indeed it is" I responded back turning towards the door. What could it be?
