The group walked out of the large building all in casual dressing. Logan, precisely, had a hoodie on because of his pursuers, the Colts.
The group trekked a couple hundred of meters before Logan voiced out. " Aren't we supposed to take a vehicle to the space ship, or are we being just super careful right now."
Jax pulled him over with a frown on his face. " The UVC hate the Zorths, Xorths and Zorits but the SEDA? They hate people like us. Raiding new planets and claiming possibly advantageous technologies for ourselves and leaving craps for them."
" It's more like we're taking their job from them, harming humanity, delaying their progress and so on."
" So you mean, we are more like pirates to them right?" Logan raised eyebrows questioningly.
" Yup, maybe more since we actually have no issues taking them on whenever they find us. It usually doesn't end well so we try our best to avoid each others, and one of our precautions is taking off into the space in a more secured place."
" Don't you think we'll be easier to track while on foot?"
" Surely, but we've got plans, this isn't the first time we do this." Jax snickered and walked further forward.
" You sure know how to ask questions." Ivy said from behind him, making him take a glance at her.
" It's how I get myself out of futuristic troubles. Why do you think the Colts are after me?" Logan scoffed.
" I would say because your itchy hands had knocked a couple of their members down. But again, that's out of it because unless you want to die, attacking Colts is equivalent to committing murder"
" Say whatever you want, you'll just never know." Logan shrugged and increased his pace. Getting further from her.
The group walked for a few more minutes before hitting the outskirts of the city. Right outside the city was a long scape of dry ash coloured soil. Something similar to a desert on earth.
The wind was strangely cold for the dry soil which was one of the many wonders of their current planet. Aton-X.
" Easy peasy, I bet the Colts already have their eyes on us if this is what you might call an hide out." Logan shook his head pitifully. In front of them, there was no such thing as a suitable place for hideout. It was just a desert covered with ash sand.
" If they do have their eyes on us, this is where we usually lose them but I doubt that has ever happened." Jax replied him with a confident tone.
" Being chased by Colts have surely taken its toll on you Logan. You're barely half of the unbothered guy I used to know." Ivy snickered at him.
" F*ck you! I'm gonna kill you all"
" Shit! Who the...."
" Fuck you too."
" Who the f*ck is cursing in this dammed part of the city?" Logan grunted.
Everyone in the group stood still. Each one of them staring at a side with a look Logan couldn't interprete. It was just unnatural and the fact that all of them had it, was even weird.
" What the heck are you guys doing...."
" Shut the f*ck up!" Ivy's voice was more like a thundering whisper. Low pitched but with power and command. Logan too had just seen what was happening.
Right on their left side, about thirty meters away from them. A group of Colts were pinning down a guy almost the same age as Logan and Ivy.
" Logan?" Lan called.
" I told you that I would test you in the ship if you're physically and well, combat fit for this. I guess this is a chance to prove yourself."
" By?"
" Well, those Colts are right beside the door to our underground base. That guy there is our watchman, them being here means they have something on us but sending teen Colts to raid us? What a joke." Lan chuckled.
" It proves you didn't have your base secured well." Logan shook his head as he watched the Colts from the distance.
" Okay, I prove myself well if I take them down right? But, don't you think someone should help me out? Colts are different from us humans."
" If you fear teenage Colts, then you have no right to join us. The watchman will do really better than you with us on this trip."
" Are you sure, because all I see is a bunch of ants biting his skin off there in the distance." Logan gave a mocking gaze at Lan before wearing his gauntlets.
" You should prepare to move in one minute. It's more than enough time for me to finish them off." Logan said and dashed off.
" Confident, really over confident, I hope he doesn't meet a fate like the last guy a month ago." Lila, the third girl in the group whispered to Ivy. Lila looked like a calm but highly ambitious lady.
" As much as I hate to admit it, those Colts are as good as dead against Logan. Since they are not allowed to use their abilities on civilians, He won't lose against them." Ivy stated.
Logan covered the thiry meters in barely twelve seconds. The Colts noticed his presence and readied themselves for battle until Logan noticed something.
" Shit! It's them!" Logan seemed a bit shocked and pissed off at the same time. " If they're here, does that mean lady Sarah is here? I have to finish this even faster and make sure none of them touches their communicator."
With his plan in motion. Logan hit his knuckles together and increased his speed, running headfirst into of of the Colt, he lifted him off the ground and threw him against another one standing by the side.
" Logan?" Jace called in surprise. " Seems like lady Sarah was right that you would join a space raider team." Jace chuckled.
" You talk too much for a Colt." Logan yelled and threw out a punch. Jace moved to the left, managing to dodge it at the last minute, but Logan was expecting that.
Jace was met with a left hook that sent him spinning off. A smirk appeared on Logan's face as he followed up with a sweep Kick that swept Jace off balance, hitting the ground with a thud.
One of the Colts dashed at him, he had his sword up in the air, ready to slash down. Logan only moved quickly to the side, avoiding the slash down completely and countered with a jab in his stomach.
The Colt winced in pain and tried to swing his sword as a resort to send Logan off, instead, Logan went behind him, kneed him to the ground and hit him right on his neck. The Colt passed out for good.
" You guys are surely the worst Colts of your generations. " Logan scoffed at the pitiful condition of Jace. The remaining two were literally shivering as they looked at Logan.
" Oh, cry babies, you don't want to get beaten again...sadly, daddy has to "
" F*ck! I'm calling lady Se...."
" Shut the f*ck up!" Logan yelled and dashed towards Jace, his feet high up in the air and then in a swift motion, it came down like a meteor and landed on Jace's neck.
The other two had brought out there communicators, ready to call for back up..
" I swear on my life, I'll kill you if you call anyone there." Logan warned them, his eyes beaming with anger.
" You don't tell us what to do!" One of the Colts yelled and clicked on a button.
" F*ck! Then there's no need telling you what I'll do to you." Logan shook his head with disdain. Quickly picking up the fallen colt's sword, he threw it at the offending colt as a distraction and dashed towards the other.
A turnaround kick to his head sent him sprawling on the ground. " Now to you f*cking bastard!" Logan grabbed him by the shirt and punched him hard. A few more followed until the boy's skull couldn't handle the metallic punches to his face.
" We found him...." The sprawling colt said to the communicator.
" Shit! Did you guys lose your sense of fear or something" Logan seethed in frustration as he grabbed the sword and slashed at the boy's arm. A deep cut appeared on his arm and the boy was left Yelling in pain.
" I could really kill you now but if you don't want that! Just take the fucking device, tell them at the other end that I have gone back to the city."
" I'm not doing....." A hit from the sword's handle sent the boy to a deep slumber.
" Tom? What's your status " a voice said from the device.
Logan lazily picked it up. " I'm....I am.. badly injured right now.....Logan is fleeing towards the high tower. Please catch him!" Logan tried his best to imitate a wounded person and even faked a cough.
" Keep your devices on so you can be tracked, we'll get you medics soon..over."
An evil smile appeared on Logan's face as he looked at the four communicators lying across the ground. A few seconds later, he had all of them reduced to shards.
The rest of the group came running towards him, some with worry, others respect except Ivy of course. Mira had a huge grin on her face as she approached him.
" That was really cool of you, Logan." She smiled.
" That doesn't matter now." Logan shifted his gaze towards Lan.
" Lan, can we move now? And how many minutes do we have until we can fly because, we've got company, and when I say company, I mean the Vanguards."
