The birth of an assassin

[dbkillerex]

"A simple dash into the face of death... disappointing" DB straightened his legs, reforming from his recent position and watching as his pray charge mindlessly at him. Stretching out his hand DB's head came down, he felt the air make contact with the bare surface of his skin. Every breath he took filled his lunges to capacity before he exhaled slowly, the sweet whispers of the wind whistled in his ears along with footsteps, each one slower than the next...

within every pulse that circulated blood, within every constriction of the muscles came forth, spreading through high powered pulses of pure blue eco, the surge of lightning force. the second jace came into DB's range, his right hand unleashed into a snake-strike like attack. DB spun 360 degrees to the right, his right hand still extended as it flung with deadly velocity from behind him toward Jace's right side of the face. The rock hard mini-dark eco shield on the back of his hands acted like a knuckler, as he prepared to land the devastating blow.... Last test, tolerance of pain

Jace watched in pure shock at the way this man moved. He had seen fighters...but not like this. As he watched DB he focused on his actions. He watched DB's hand reach out and it was faster than he was able to move. DB's right hand struck Jace on his right temple. Normal people would've went out cold, but Jace was stronger than that. He landed on his toes and palms feeling slightly dizzy. He shook his head and then whipped his right leg around aiming for DB's shins. He moved as quickly as he could ignoring the pain in his head.

With great surprise DB fell to his right knee, the pain of the impact giving him the blazing urge to explode into a lightning storm and destroy his opponent as the asphalt crumbled beneath his eco infested muscles... Calm down... A soft voice in his mind reminded him keeping his composure and his unstable dark eco from spreading as fast as wild fire. DB lay his right hand on the floor for support before raising up slowly, dusting himself up and reaching it out to offer Jace "Get up, i think you have some potential" A wicked grin was slowly forming onto DB's face "Unlike those street scum imbeciles i had to recruit last time" He mumbled, to no one in particular.

Jace looked at the man's hand with a suspicious expression. He stood on his own his eyesight was a little blurred and he was a bit dizzy, but he didn't need help. Jace brushed himself off and then crossed his arms, "So what's the deal? Do you just randomly pick people to fight?" Jace asked with a bit of acid in his voice, his tone cautious and slightly curious.

Jace's emerald eyes sparked with uncertainty, but they were still cold as the gems they resembled. He was standing with a tensed posture, ready to strike if this was just a ploy. He was still very relieved that Rae hadn't been there to see him fight, she would've been furious and he knew she still would be when she found out.

The one thing that shocked Jace about his relationship with his sister, was that she was the one person he could not lie to. He barely knew her, yet she was the most important person to him. He loved his sister more than anything and he knew she'd be ashamed of him for this.

"Quite frankly.. That's exactly what I'm doing" DB dusted himself off one last time before he turned his back to jace and began stepping slowly away as he spoke, forcing the man to follow him as they negotiate "You, my friend, have potential... You somewhat impressed me, therefor i offer to train you in the second most ancient profession... It is the art of total silence, of deadly strikes and heavy payment" DB turned back his head and stated "Were gonna make an assassin' outta you" A devious grin stretched onto DB's charming face adding the soft glow of his white teeth. "You could choose whether you wanna do it or not when were done, but right now you either follow me or run the other way... Imagine it, the grace of pure silent, swift steps as you stalk your unsuspecting prey, coming from above, or behind slitting the throat" DB spoke silently and with passion adding a silent "... Or something else that will leave less of a bloody mess..." Adding some physical presentation DB continued "You see the life slowly slipping away, you hear the heart stop, you feel the blood relieved to stop its endless circulation... Than there's the escape, You need to be quick and thorough, no evidence shall ever be discovered... Sneaking away or stealing a zoomer... The possibilities are endless.... Whatta' you say?"

Jace followed DB as he listened to him talk. Jace was visualizing what DB was saying and the experimentation from the orphanage made his brain switch straight to what he was trained for. This was his opportunity to kill and use his training. Jace smiled wickedly. He was ready to be that person.

His normal mindset fought against those thoughts, no this isn't what Julius or Raven would want you to do, you can't say yes!

Sure I can, who cares what the dead bag and the new girl thinks?

What about Isabel, she wouldn't be happy about this either?

She doesn't have to know...

Jace argued with himself before his dark side took over completely, "I'll do it."

[dbkillerex]

"Ill do it" was the man's response.

His serrated teeth became exposed as DB's lips arched upward in a wicked grin "good. I could teach you how to become the best assassin in haven... But I can't teach you anything before you try it yourself... " Taking from his pocket a small faded picture DB tossed it back toward Jace "Thats the mark... study him, notice the fine details that tell us all about him, his stature, his clothes, his expresison and scars... a picture is worth a thousand words" Taking out his trusty knife he began to spin it around his hand skillfully in a sort of a game before tossing it toward Jace "Dont loose it, or ill have to kill you"

DB than took out a small map of the city and investigated it for a little over a minute... "Were here... And... There it is..." Marking an invisible line with his right finger DB planned ahead the way "Follow me if you can" He challenged jace as his eye crystallized into a dark blue shade, he than began speeding up and eventually running, strips of blue eco where noticeable in his trail just before he encountered a deadend. Leaping onto the 3-store building which had blocked his path he began running horizontally upwards while on all fours. Making use of both his momentum and the extra friction given to him by his claws.

As DB arrived at the top of the building he took out from his backpack a binocular and marked out the mark's residence and location I wonder how the recruit's gonna climb here... They always find original ways to do so...

Jace stared at the picture intently, noticing every little detail as if he had done it thousands of times before. He followed the man without glancing up to see where he was going. He noticed when DB began speeding up, automatically Jace began speeding up as well. He wasn't nearly as fast as the other man, but he could still stay on his track. Jace watched as DB leaped up the building, Jace smiled.

He looked up and then took a few steps back. He looked at it from every angle until he found his way up. Sticking out of the building was a few random bars or clothes lines. Jace bounded forward grabbing one of the poles. He swung himself up the pole and flipped to another. He swung from that pole and over to a clothes line then he sprung himself up from the clothes line and next to DB. Jace had a superior look on his face, he may not have blue eco, but he was one hell of a gymnast.
