The Life Hacker System - 47 The Return Of A Legend
Taka and Snow had been travelling for a while, they were making pretty good progress, halfway there, halfway left to go.
Due to travelling for so long they had decided to stop to take a break. The first half of the journey was driven by Taka, he tested his skill ‘Vehicle Proficiency’ and realised due to it being such a high level that he could drive anything whether land air or sea. During the break snow decided to ask Taka just what exactly they were getting into. Though he trusted Taka, he still fell into his old ways as a mercenary, wanting to know the details on the mission ahead.
“Taka just what is this about?”
Taka sighed.
“You trust me, don’t you Snow?”
“Of course I do, but that’s not what this is about. I need to know what we’re going into, so I know what to prepare for.” Snow spoke with almost a guilty Edge to his voice, he didn’t want Taka to think he didn’t trust him.
Snow continued to speak.
“You know I’d give my life for you, you’re like a nephew to me, as well as a friend I didn’t think I’d have in his lifetime but just what are we getting ourselves into? This isn’t the same as when we were at the Research Institute, is it?”
Taka snorted in approval.
“You figured that much out without me telling you anything, you truly are worthy of your title Snow.”
Snow laughed in an almost sarcastic manner.
“Alright that’s enough of you playing with this old man’s emotions.”
Taka just laughed.
“You old? Never…”
They both paused before bursting out into laughter.
Taka’s face became serious, any Jovialness disappeared. Standing before Snow was the Taka that he saw back during the attack on the research Institute. Once again the aura of a king seemed to enveloped Taka’s very being.
Taka spoke.
“You remember when I asked you to find out about a Maya Rose?”
Snow nodded.
“Well somebody else seemed to find out that we were looking for her, and that somebody also sent someone to attack me.”
“No that’s impossible, no one other than us knew that you were looking for Maya, even when Iasked around about her I used my name not yours and I didn’t tell anyone.”
Snow spoke shocked by what he’d just heard.
Taka chuckled.
“Don’t worry Snow I’m not blaming you, turns out the people who were after me and attacked me, were already on to me way before I met you and Emily, even before the Research Institute but the thing that really pisses me off, is the fact one of their agents was there and didn’t help in a situation where people could have been seriously hurt, in a situation where people were seriously hurt and they just stood by and did nothing.”
Silence fell between the two. Snow spoke first.
“So that’s who we’re going after the people who attacked you.”
“Hmm pretty much.”
Silence fell again.
“I’m guessing these aren’t normal folks?”
Taka looked at Snow in mock surprise.
“Wow! How’d you guess?” Snow smirked at Taka’s sarcastic remark.
Taka became serious again.
“But yes, you’re right.”
“So who or what are we dealing with?”
Snow spoke in a tone as if he was expecting the obvious.
“We’re dealing with Supernaturals.”
An awkward silence came between the two.
“You’re joking, right?” snow asked in a tone as if begging Taka that he was.
“Nope.” Was Taka’s response.
Snow’s shoulders dropped and he released and a sigh, only to smile afterwards.
“Well, what’s the plan then?”
Taka a looked surprised.
“You’re still coming with me?”
“Of course I am, you really think I’d just leave you in the cold by yourself.”
It was Snow’s turn to smirk this time.
“Snow this isn’t something you’ve dealt with before, these people are Powerful, very very powerful, stronger than me in fact, stronger than me by far.” Taka spoke worried for his friend’s well being.
“I already told you I would come and it’s not just you I promised, I promised your parents I’d look after you, even though I know you can look after yourself. Even still I can’t just let you go after an enemy on your own that’s not who I am.”
Emotion was clear to see behind Snow’s eyes but what Taka couldn’t understand was the sadness hidden in Snow’s eyes. Something had obviously happened in Snows past to make him think this way but Taka chose not to bring it up.
“Well I guess I should probably fill you in on the plan then.”
Taka quickly filled Snow in on the plan. It took him over 20 minutes so give him all the details but once he had a comfortable silence fell between the two.
Taka knew there was no way in hell that Snow was anywhere near strong enough to take the people on they were about to but he didn’t have a plan b, he had to work with what he had, but he would try his hardest to keep Snow safe, even if it cost him his own life.
He’d already had a chance at a new life, seeing his parents and sister and experiencing the things that he had was more than enough for him, meeting Snow and Emily were just added benefits, so he wouldn’t just let his friend die, not if he could help it.
Thinking to himself he began to chuckle, there was no way he could die that easily because there was a little wolf that would be especially pissed if he did.
…
1 hour later.
Wind blew around them as they rested on a lush green field.
“I guess we should probably be making tracks.”
Taka said.
“Hmm I’m guessing we probably should.”
They both stood and dusted themselves off. Taka stretched relaxing himself for the long car journey ahead.
..
The same time with Fen.
…
“You will address him as KING!”
…
At the same time a bomb went off inside Taka’s mind.
