Chapter 5: On the run
Mumbai, India is a great and active place where you can be able to disappear. Very busy. The Hulk did it. Though to this day, not enough security people still have been able to keep track of the rest of the population.
The main part of the city is very well known and yes, there is a lot of security over there. But when you reach the outskirts of the city, things are lot more under the radar. Many of the businesses there can almost be untraceable. One of which is the underground fighting rings.
" GET READY TO RUMBLE!" The announcer shouts to a crowded stadium.
The stadium is dark with the exception of bright lights from the kind of lighting you would see at the theatres shined upon the stage. It's filled to the brink with supporters and people placing bets on their fighters of choice.
" Tonight! We have the return of one of our most noble fighters! The Deadly Skiv!" He shouts as he gesture to one corner to reveal a muscular man that stands over seven feet tall as he takes off his gold boxer robe. His face was covered in face paint in a warrior's design. His outfit consists of punk rock and heavy metal with his black leather pants and steel toe boots. He looks mean and ready to kill someone tonight. Most likely his opponent.
" And over here! A newbie. Came from Russia! Before that, China! And before that, who knows?! You better sit back and take it all in because this fox is infamous. Give it up for the Iron Soul!" He shouts as he gestures to the other corner.
People turn their heads to look at the corner and start laughing out loud as the Iron Soul reveals himself from taking off their black boxer robe. They refused to believe what they see.
The Iron Soul is a woman. Very small compared to the Deadly Skiv. Her long ash blonde hair is in pony. She's wearing a basic sports bra and gym shorts. Plus bandages wrapped around her hands to act as gloves. What really makes her stand out is her metal like arm.
" That's my opponent?!" The Deadly Skiv snorts. " This broken little girl! I might just throw the match just because she's cute!"
His coach comes up to him and says, " Don't. This is a smart win. Easy beat. Give it all you got. That'll teach this foreign to stay away from our ring."
" Oh I will." He grins in a sneering way.
The bell rings and the two come up to the center of the boxing ring.
" Alright you two. No fatalities. I'm trying to keep this place open." The referee says to them before stepping back from the fighters.
" You know you can always forfeit and I might just go easy on you." He sneers at the woman as he takes position.
She looks up at him and he is taken aback by the asian woman's strange blue-gray eye color.
" You know? I've had worse when I had to drag my twin brother from a bot fight. This will be nothing." She smirks as she takes her stance as well.
He glares at the woman in response. He is so going to pummeled her tonight.
" GET READY TO RUMBLE!" The annoucer shouts as he rings the bell.
The Deadly Skiv roars he throws the first throw with the intention to hit the woman. He thought this was in the bag. Until she dodged him swiftly.
The woman then suddenly pops up from nowhere and punches him in the face with her metal arm fist.
The punch knocks him off his balance and clutches his nose in pain. She clearly broke his nose, but she made him look like a fool.
" Oh…. you are so DEAD!" He screams in anger as he runs towards the woman with his fist out in full force to hit her.
The woman just stands there with no effort to move out of the way. Just when he is close enough, she makes her move.
She quickly forces his arm in downward motion before she jumps and wraps her legs around his neck. Given the off balance of his arm, he flips over and ends up on the ground lying on his back.
He's gasps for air as she tightens her legs around his neck to subdue him, but he manages to punch her hard in the face before the bell rings to ignite her victory.
She releases him and he immediately gets up on his feet and stumbles out of the ring. As far away from her as possible.
" Well…" The announcer says in shock. " It appears.. We have a new champion ladies and gentlemen! Give it up for the IRON SOUL!"
People, after going through the initial shock, start cheering for the new champion as she walks over to the announcer and snaps her metal fingers and makes the gesture of demand for pay.
The announcer grimaces as he hands her the money that was collected from the crowd for the bets. Which was a lot, considering most of the people betted against her.
She walks out of the arena with her money without saying a word. All she cares right now is that she has enough money to survive for the next week. Even if she has earned herself a black eye to show as payment.
It's another busy night in Tokyo and the Stark Building is the beacon of light in this busy city.
Wentworth looks out the window of her office feeling very angry at what she just heard. Her goons came so close to capturing her former employee in Russia. Only to find out that she has longed crossed into another country. Again.
" Look. We may be able to track her this time. She's using a passport under the name Kim Xiang." The head of her of security says.
" You do realize that what this girl is capable of. Hm?" She says. " This is the same person that somehow bypassed your security for this company building two years ago!"
He is taken aback by her comment. But he continues, " We managed to find that Hamada is somewhere in India."
" Where in India?" She demands.
He gulps and says, " We're not sure. She got off in New Delhi, but we have reason to believe that she left that city when she arrived."
" Not sure?" She nods. " I hired you to make sure there was no breach in the security. The reason I barely kept you was so you can a chance to patch it up." She chuckles. " Now it's been two years and the work that was suppose to change everything in our favor is still with that fugitive brat that you still haven't to managed to locate."
He gulps.
" L-look. I will double up on the men searching for her. She won't be able to leave India without any of us knowing. We'll g-get her for sure. Sh-Sh-She can't hide forever." He says nervously.
" No. That road is long gone." She says in response.
She turns away as she talks. He backs away from her as well.
" I may work for Stark, but he means nothing! I run the show here!" She snarls. " The world has been overrun by idiots for far too long. I can't stand it! The many years when I watched people laughing at my ideas, but praising the ones like Captain America and Iron Man as though they were god! Well not for long. I intend to change that and I am going to start by fixing the flaws in the systems."
She looks back at him and yelps as he sees her normal brown eyes become yellow.
" Starting with my own." She says before she throws a hand and yellow energy comes out from them.
He screams as the energy hits him straight in the heart. The energy blast causes the man to explode on impact. Killing and vaporizing him instantly.
She walks up to the pile of ashes that was left behind.
She sighs before she says, " You know I had to do it."
She picks up a phone and makes up a call.
" There's been an accident in my office and is need of cleaning. Send someone over." She says nonchalantly on the phone before ending the call.
From now on she will handle finding that girl and when she does, the girl is going to pay for it more than just simply with her own life.
Short, but pretty eventful. Sorry about the lack of update. I am still going. I just needed to take care of my other stories. Which this week should be plenty of new updates for most of them. So yeah. I am going to get back on track with this one.
Please Review. See You later.
