The goal isn't to harm them in any way, rather destroy their plans for the raid. Today was the only option for them to achieve their target, and I am the guy standing on their path. One thing I know is that, if I get to successfully stall them today, then the museum is forever safe from them because they can't get their hands on another password without help from the inside, but apart from that, I also know that if they're to miss their mission because of me, then I will definitely become their sole target.
I know that I'm playing a dangerous game here, but it's a fair fight, one against ten, considering the power I possess. I should've been their number eleven, but sometimes, some limbs need to be cut off when they don't fit, that's the word the leader used for me when he was stabbing me in the front right in front of me, all of them laughing about it, enjoying that they just tricked a foolish boy who was driven to place his hands in evil just to get it big.
In other words, 10% of what they get from the raid, that sounds too ambitious of me or greedy, but let's just say that it was a word of convincing, which actually worked. No person would say they would gladly accept that backstabbing, after playing around for a whole year, taking risks, messing where you eat, I decided to act reckless, decided to steal from them just the way I stole from the museum. Had it been not for all that, would I possess all this power?, Guess I have my recklessness to thank for this.
I might be joking around with them, but this people are not here to joke, no. The moment they get their hands on me, it's a dead end for me, my powers aside, I have experienced what they can do and that's not something I can withstand at all.
Speaking about using my power, I was expecting that to happen again, but it didn't, maybe it was just a glitch in my power or rather a new ability to the one I already possess.
My mom usually return home from the left part of the road, I guess I'll have to run towards the right, to ditch them, and as well get them away from my home, had I know about that twenty minutes of tutorial that Chronos told me about earlier, I would really need the breath now, would just go after my Mom, find her wherever she was and guide her under my protection.
Running on a high speed, the blueprint with me, heading back to the museum so that I could return them back where I got it without been noticed. The museum is the only safe place right now, getting the blueprint back successfully will keep this men away just the way I planned, I just have to draw them away from my home in the least before using my abilities to ditch them entirely.
My phone started vibrating inside my pocket as I was still running, what the fuck!, who might be reaching out for me in this critical moment?. Knowing that I can over power them with my ability, I decided to risk it, getting my phone out of my pocket and seeing the name written on the screen, Mom.... She was trying to reach me through video call, Sorry Mom, that, I can't risk right now, I tried to reach here already, don't have to do anything that would cost me all my efforts to protect her so far.
I can't pick the call, I just kept running, panting hard as I ran. behind me was two of the men, they were chasing after me with bike, another of their members were in the car behind the bikes, also coming for me who's running on feet, at least none of them is armed, have already taken away all their guns as if I did expected this.
I was sent flying on the air, I couldn't believe how I just collided with a speedy vehicle, I was so cautious, how come did I miss this?. With my abilities, I stopped the time whilst still hanging on the air through the collision, I made out the face in the vehicle that just hit me, it's the leader, he countered me without my knowledge, that shows their superiority in this kind of situation, this was their stuff and they're fucking good in it.
It felt like I lost control of the time pause, falling hard on the floor, crashing roughly as I continued rolling down at the direction opposite the collision. Blood spilled out of my mouth, my head bleeding, the blood already down to my left eye, how did this happen?, How come I never saw this coming?, How careless was I?.
I can't get myself to get back up, it felt like it's all over for me with me lying helpless on the floor, I thought I possess an unimaginable power, but it seems to be useless against this mercs. I tried to stop the time again the way I usually do them, but it wasn't working, not that it wasn't just working, it feels like it's no longer here with me, like I lost it in the collision after I had tampered with it while on the air.
I can see him come out from the car, holding another gun with him, thought I did take them all away, he was gently walking towards me, step after step, I was just lying there on the floor watching only his feets movements, the closer he gets, the more I get to see only his feets, the other frame disappearing from my sight. It felt like I can't control the movement of my eyes and my spinal cord breaking in thousands of pieces, there was no way I was going to survive this, I guess it's a game over for me, just like Chronos had said, I was the dumbest.
