Chapter 98 New Toys and new problems

POV Max Draco

I looked over the hostage situation that the party had become all the guests have been put into one big group with Whitney Stane taken away from the group with the regular waiters and servants tied up in the estate.

'What are they waiting for?' I thought as I counted 15 hired guns 'I guess it doesn't matter as long as I stop them,' I turn into one of the hired guns I had killed and walked up to the group.

Five were talking quietly in a semi-circular the rest were spread out watching the surrounding area.

???: "What the hell happened we lost contact with your group for 5 minutes!" who I assumed was the leader said and I nodded.

"Well, you see me and my partner get taken down by a guy with awesome powers," I said with a straight face causing the group of third guns to look at me confused.

"Wait wha-" he was about to say when in the blink of an eye I knocked them all out with a simple jab to the face.

But to everyone else, it looked like they simply fell unconscious I looked over to the stunned hostages than to the rest of the hired guns then back.

"You all might want to take cover," I said as I jumped into the air and came down fist-first into one of the still-stunned hired guns putting him into the ground.

???: "F-fucking kill it!" one of them yells and a hail of bullets land on me but changing my density the bullets do nothing.

"Finally at least try and fight back it makes it so much more fun for me," I yelled over the gunshots that just bounced off me.

'Is this how superman feels every time he deals with robbers using guns,' I thought as I simply walked towards the hired guns bullets dropping at my feet.

Then one of the hired guns pointed his gun at the hostages and I imminently threw out my arm transforming it into an organic whip and grabbed the gun and smashed it into his head.

And after speed-blitzing the rest of them before they followed that one's example and started firing at the hostages.

'Now how do I find out where they came from,' I thought when I heard a groan and looked to see that one of the five I knocked out was slowly waking up.

Walking over I transformed my right arm into a clawed hand letting the blades scrap on the ground causing sparks.

???: "W-wait I sur-" he began but I grabbed him by the face and hoisted him in the air.

"You're going to tell me exactly what I want to know," I said my eyes glowing red as I brought him close.

???: "I can't they'll kill me please I-," *MMMMMM* he began only to stop and scream as I squeezed my bladed fingers cutting into his face.

???: "Stop you've already won theirs no point in torturing him," and on my left was a young man I felt like I recognized, and using [Observation] I saw it was Dick Grayson.

"Not until I get what I want," I said looking at him and I squeezed ever so harder blood began to drip to the ground.

Thea: "He and his pals are eaten and the police are already on their way so please just put him down," she begged and I sighed.

"Fine and since I'm such a nice guy," I began and once I let go the guys bleeding face was healed and the pain was gone in a few seconds though the bodily liquids that stained his clothes and face remained.

I heard everyone let out a sigh of relief except for my clone and the three cuckoo's as such I left speed blitzing away making my way back to my hotel room unnoticed to wait for my clone.

"Man isn't that nostalgic but why would I need a toy?" I said going into my inventory and grabbing the Beyblade and launcher and used [observation] to see its stats.

•Beyblade

<Name- The Dragon emperor l'drago>

<Title- The dark Dragon emperor>

[Skills]

"Holy shit wtf how does an item let alone a glorified spinning top has not only a title but 4 unique skills," I said shocked at what I was seeing.

[Why not try it out]

"I have a feeling that's a bad idea and I can't help but feel I know this one specifically is a problem," I said trying to remember what I knew about the anime but nothing came to mind.

[It can't be that bad if you don't remember besides like you said it's just a spinning top]

"Yeah ok let's head out and test this thing out," I said.

(A few minutes later)

"Ok this should be far enough away," I said in the distance was the city and I placed the Beyblade in the launcher but I kept feeling that this was a bad idea.

[What's wrong]

"Nothing I just keep getting a bad feeling," I said.

[Well you could always try it later and teleport back]

"Yeah I could but I am already out here so ah screw it," I said aiming for a large rock not too far away "What was it they said before starting a match let it rip?" I said and pulled back on the launcher.

*Boom* *Crack*

"Oh, shit did I break. . .it?" I said slowly looking at the large rock that now had a dent in it and was cracked and on the ground still spinning was the Beyblade.

[What would you be referring to the broken stone or still spinning top]

"Umm, I'm more interested in the fact I barely pulled on the dam thing and it cracked a boulder what would happen if I used one of its skills," I said going over to the spinning top and licking it up.

[I'm more interested in what would happen if you used your full strength]

"Someone's death probably and lots of collateral damage man now I want to remember Beyblade," I said looking at the unscratched top that just broke a boulder.

[What do you remember about it?]

"Not much I remember the theme song being pretty good actually," I said closing my eyes and tried to focus but got nothing.

After a few minutes of testing out the new item, I decided to store it for later and teleported back to find my clone standing and watching tv.

"Hey, wha-" I began but my voice died in my mouth as I looked at the tv and saw a city burning and in chaos.

???: "We are reporting to you live as panicked citizens of Japan flee the city of Tokyo and other nearby towns as word has somehow leaked that the titan known as King snake or Titanus Ophiophagus has somehow escaped containment but rumor has it that it was an attack on the outpost but monarch, not Japan's government have yet to comment. . ."

"Shit we need to go now," I said but my clone gave me a concerned look.

Clone: "Did you forget whose territory the pacific Ocean is," he asked and I stop dead in my tracks.

"There hasn't been a single sighting of him since world war 2 he's probably still asleep," I said but my clone shook his head.

Clone: "And an alpha titan appearing near or in his territory won't wake him up or draw him to us if he is," the clone questioned and I just stood there.

"Fine if it comes down to it then we submit," I said and I felt something in me 'Hate' that idea but what other choice was there?

'We Fight!'

'We would lose he's the rightful king.'

"Since when do we run from a challenge.'

'This challenge is too great with too many risks.'

'We are not cowards and we are not submitting.'

'And if we die what happens to the kids' afterward what if he comes for them or they go after him?'

[Max are you ok?]

". . . .Yeah I'm fine just trying to figure out how I'm supposed to stop a titan without using a titan," I said as my clone combined with me getting his perspective of the hostage situation.

POV Nick Tatopoulos

Location: Outside outpost 55

I stood next to Elsie's shoulder as she analyzed the strange substance found across the now-destroyed outpost it had been just a few hours ago that we had gotten word and as soon as we arrived got to work trying to figure out what happened.

"Well, what did you find?" I asked as the printer next to her printed it out and Elsie looked it over and handed it to me.

Elsie: "We'll the spectrometer says it's a mix of bioadhesives and well too but it in layman's terms goo," she said, and from the tent fold came Monique and Randy walk in.

Randy: "We finished setting up the temporary camp and Mendel and a few others are monitoring N.I.G.L.E as he tracks the titan," he said and I noticed the grim look on Monique's face.

Monique: "We haven't found a single trace of the 12 missing personnel but from eyewitnesses and traces of this slim we can assume the titan took them," she said and I nodded curtly.

"Well find them and get them back," I said but Monique shook her head.

Monique: "We need to focus on finding the titan and find a way to contain it not look for dead personal," she said and I looked to Randy who shrugged.

Elsie: "We'll that's easier said than done the thing has a pretty good head start," she said, and just at that moment Mendel and I got worried.

"Mendel, are you ok?" I asked seeing my friend as pale as a ghost.

Randy: "Yeah doc you look like you saw a ghost or something," he added and got an elbow to the side from Elsie.

Mendel: "We found the titan," he began but he didn't look happy about it as he handed me a pad with a video.

Pressing play I felt the others looming over my shoulder as we watched N.I.G.L.E enter a large cave going deeper until the large snake.

Randy: "Alright so what's the-" he began but his words caught in his through as N.I.G.L.E's vision panned over the area to find all the missing personal stuck to the far wall fibers in good and unconscious.

And under them was a best full of eggs from what I could count 12 but with the possible size of the nest there was probably more we couldn't see.

Elsie: "But that's impossible we. . ." she began but couldn't finish her sentence as the video continued we heard a loud sound.

*SSSSSSSSS*

N.I.G.L.E turned its head to the titan's eyes open head only a few inches 'away from the robot's face before in the blink of an eye and miss it the video ended with a frame of the titan's open mouth.

"Randy get Serizawa on the line now the situation has changed," I said and Rsndy hesitated for a second before nodding his head and leaving the tent.
