Adam : From a man to a God

Adam woke up to a strange noise right outside the cave—it was a bear.

"Oh shit, I'm screwed," Adam thought. "I gotta run."

Adam bolted out of the cave, quickly passing the bear, and continued running.

"Damn, I overslept. I have to get to Mountaindale," he muttered to himself.

He kept running but started feeling tired after 18 miles. Breathing heavily, he leaned against a tree. Suddenly, he heard something and looked back to see a group of soldiers. He hid behind the tree. The soldier in front held his finger to his ear.

"We've been looking, but we still can't find him," the soldier reported.

"Maybe he hasn't arrived yet. Make sure to catch him and bring him in alive. He's one of them," a voice responded.

"Wait, are they special forces? Am I gonna die? Do I give myself up? What am I running for anyway?" Adam thought frantically.

Adam was close to the river, a long, wide river that surrounded the town with water coming from under the mountain. Unfortunately, Adam was where the bridge wasn't. He had to run.

As soon as Adam tried to run, he tripped on a tree root and fell. He turned his body and faced the soldiers. They pointed their guns at him.

A soldier wearing a cap approached and pulled out a dart gun. He shot Adam in the leg. Adam groaned and fainted.

"Captain, is that him?" asked a second soldier.

"Yeah. This one is just a kid, but remember, they can be dangerous," the Captain replied.

They lifted Adam, who started moving slowly.

"What the?! Shoot him again," the Captain ordered.

Three of them shot him simultaneously.

He stopped moving.

"One of those tranquilizers was literally meant to take an elephant down. They really are extraordinary," the Captain thought. "Come on, move it!"

Moments later, the soldiers were traveling in vehicles on the tarred road beside Mountaindale. There were four vehicles, with Adam in the second one from the back.

There was a forest on either side of the road. The driver in the front saw something ahead. It was a person. He took the transponder and alerted the others. The Captain responded.

"Carrying a sword? Don't stop, shoot. They said we might have threats on the way," the Captain commanded.

It was assassin T, known as Terra, the name given to her by the organization. The assassins were given alphabets and ranked accordingly. The lower the alphabet, the stronger, faster, and more special their abilities were.

A soldier stuck his head out of the window and pointed a black rifle at her. Terra started running towards them at 50 miles per hour. The soldier started shooting, and as soon as the first bullet reached her, she turned her sword, blocking it. She lifted her sword and slashed the second bullet in half, continuing to block all the other bullets.

"What the… how's she…" the driving soldier stammered.

Terra quickly removed a dagger and threw it at the soldier who was shooting at her. She front-flipped over the vehicle, stabbing the driver's head with her sword as she landed on the car, kneeling.

She quickly jumped backward, twisting her body mid-air as the vehicle went off-road due to the dead driver. She landed on another car, losing her balance and falling on her back. As she was about to roll off, she used both her sword and knife to stab the top of the car, preventing her fall. Two soldiers in the back shot upwards.

Terra loved challenges, thats why she decided to go with a frontal attack. She dodged by sliding to the side of the car, quickly removing the door, and using her floating knife to slice everyone inside. The car veered off-road, falling into the forest since they were on slopping land.

She pushed herself off the side of the vehicle and landed on her back, rolling on the ground. She stood up, looking back with a small scar on her forehead, her mask that covered the lower part of her face now off.

The car with Adam was 30 feet away from her. Breathing heavily and smiling a bit, she held out her hand, and her dagger quickly floated into it. The third car stopped. The car behind it stopped, and the men quickly got out to protect the one where Adam was. They opened fire.

"All at once? Bring it on," Terra thought.

She ran at them at 80 miles per hour, her top speed, blocking all the bullets and quickly arriving to decapitate all their heads. The Captain and his crew emerged.

"Who are you?" the Captain demanded.

"I'm not here to talk," Terra replied.

Terra's blade quickly slaughtered all the remaining men. The Captain didn't show any fear.

"You think we wouldn't be ready for this?" he challenged.

"Doesn't look like you're ready at all," Terra retorted

Terra hurried in close and swung her sword upward, aiming to slash the Captain from the rib cage up. However, the Captain dodged by leaning to the left and simultaneously pulled out his gun, firing two bullets at Terra's face, which she also dodged. The Captain quickly threw a left hook, which she dodged, followed by a right hook, which she evaded as well. The Captain then used both hands to grab Terra's neck, pulling her in to hit her head with his right knee. She blocked with her hands and slashed the Captain in the gut, causing him to back away.

"You're really fast compared to the others, but you still can't cut it," Terra remarked.

"Oh, no, you can't cut it. You see, I have impenetrable skin. Even your flying dagger can't cut it," the Captain replied smugly.

"Oh yeah… forgot I had that," Terra said, as her blade flew and tried cutting him on the side of the neck before returning to her.

"What did they do to you?" Terra asked.

"Nothing you need to know. Since you're going to die anyway," the Captain retorted.

Terra threw away her sword and looked at the torn jacket of her enemy. She smiled and cracked her neck, holding up her fists. The Captain smirked and charged at her. The car Adam was in was facing to the side. Terra quickly jumped, rotating her body, and kicked the Captain in the chest, breaking his ribs and damaging his heart. The Captain groaned in pain, fell back, hit the side of the car, causing it to bend, and then collapsed to the ground, spitting out blood.

She knelt down near the dying Captain.

"You said impenetrable skin, not unbreakable bones," Terra said.

She stood and looked at the car, seeing Adam coming out and looking at the dying Captain, then at her. She smiled.

"So, you're next, kid," Terra said.

"Not again," Adam muttered.

He held out his fists.

"I'm gonna fight this time," Adam declared.
