《Codename Deathmask》chapter 9 part 2
Advertisement
Pete was shocked that somebody had managed to out assassin the assassin, but he knew all too well that he must act soon or he will be dead meat. He went to the nearest shadow but he found himself met by unseen forces. This was a new experience for someone to outclass him to such a degree, but he wasn't shaken since he knew that he had been trained well by coach J. Pete went into some sort of inner peace that allows him to better able to detect the movements around him.
This foe was throwing knives at him but as if the weapons were moving in slow motion, Pete saw that it was some kind of commando in an army outfit. He grabbed the knives midair and threw them back at his would-be killer.
The knives pierced the eye socket of the foe, as well as his lungs. Pete was victorious in this battle.
He bragged, "How did you like bullet time mode bitch?"
Fourteen competitors remained.

Billy was inside a four-person gun battle with three other speedsters. Other fighters not involved
in the battle were killed by stray gunfire.
Ten competitors remained.
The four competitors were moving around Mach four hundred when Billy starts to leave afterimages behind himself.
There were now twelve Billies in the battle now.
One of the attacks hit Billy but it was just an afterimage.
Billy had managed to slip behind the assailant and shoot him in the back of the head.
The remaining two foes lost it and started to fire wildly at the mirages. They killed each other in their haste.
Seven competitors remained.
Bob was fighting some crazy run and gunner that forced him to keep on his feet for the entire battle up to this point.
Bob thought, "This punk is lousy as he dodges all landmines that I try to give him. I will have to shoot from the hip!"

The dwarf climbs up a wooden crate and stood still. Bullets were hitting his medium-sized power suit, but the sniper remained fearless. He was waiting for the moment to fight back and he had it.
Bam! A blast fires from Bob's rifle and it flies towards the bare head of his attacker. The head of the opponent is blown to bits as bone and brains are exposed.
Six opponents remain.

The whole unit meets up for the time being with Kill Joy coming out of the woodwork for the first time in the battle. Deathmask had made the medic do so since they needed to keep him as fresh as possible for healing the troops.
The voice overhead spoke, “Remaining competitors refuse to fight on so they must face a second wave of tougher fighters. Incoming wave incoming...Now!”
Pete yelled out, "It is time to rock out with our cocks out!"

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
