The security guards recognize a potential threat and immediately react, but I’m already on the first guy and punch him in the heart area of the chest.
With my natural strength, his body convulses and he drops to the ground coughing up blood.
The other guards have made space and have their guns pointed at me, ready to fire before a knife whooshes past my ear and catches another guard at the throat, killing him immediately.
“Damn bastards forgot that I’m not dead yet, didn’t ya?” I hear behind me.
“I’m definitely taking you bastards with me before I die,” Derricc says with gritted teeth as he hobbles beside me.
I’m able to catch the other two guards and incapacitate them with ease before turning to everyone else.
Doc had left the room to grab more security so it’s just the family in the room.
“Who’s next?” Derricc says with a murderous smile as more guards surround us, putting a human barrier between us and the family.
“Welcome back from the dead,” I say, trying to lift my mood a bit before the next round.
“Man, I’d regret it for the whole afterlife if I didn’t end this situation with a bang,” Derricc says before grabbing another knife.
As we finish with our jokes, more security guards come in guns blazing.
We give each other a nod like only two soldiers of 24 years who’d gone through hell and back could, and murderous smiles creep onto our faces as we both go on the offensive…well, Derricc tries anyway.
I jump into a group of four, using the martial arts I’ve learned from Derricc to attack pressure points on two, follow with another punch to the heart on a third, and end it with an elbow to the throat to incapacitate all four before they can even throw a punch.
Derricc, on the other hand…well, somehow he is able to hobble/jump/skip on his one leg and is still able to weave in and out of attacks from two guards with minimal impact before getting his leg swept out from under him by Sarah.
“What the hell are you two?
It shouldn’t be this hard to kill you,” she says with disappointment as she grabs a gun from a dead guard and points it at Derricc.
I finish up dealing with my group of four guards and immediately rush over before it’s too late.
“Come on you dumb broad,” Derricc says, trying to ragebait Sarah.
“Better hope you don’t mis—” he stops as a gunshot goes off.
Sarah isn’t very gun savvy, so of course she misses all the vitals, but because of Derricc’s health, he won’t last long.
“Hahahahaha!” Derricc starts laughing.
“Even in the end, you couldn’t kill me properly.” He keeps laughing as I slam into Sarah, causing her to fly into a wall.
This is it, isn’t it?
I think to myself.
I’m fully losing Derricc.
The last shred of sanity shatters as I look at Derricc one last time.
He looks at me with a smile on his face, making a fist with his thumb up, and manages to gurgle out five words before he closes his eyes and stops moving.
“Give them hell, my boi,” he says.
Revenge Betrayal Murder Vengeance Those are the only thoughts I have left as I watch Derricc take his last breath.
The animalistic instincts in me, this feeling of giving the middle finger to society and its morality, take over, and all I can see is red.
My parents and Ashley are paralyzed with fear as my very presence shakes them to the core.
I menacingly and slowly walk over to where Sarah is still recovering and lift her by the neck like a rubber chicken.
I then walk over to my parents with the most neutral, icy-cold face I can make, staring them down as I approach.
“Twice now, this brat has hurt Derricc in front of me.
There is no mercy left for this family anymore.” With that statement, I crush Sarah’s neck in my hand, ignoring her pleas for forgiveness.
I watch my parents go pale as I launch a roundhouse kick at my mom, which lands square on her temple, the force killing her immediately.
“YOU BASTARD SON, 1,000 DEATHS AND SUFFERING FOR ALL ETERNITY WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO MAKE UP FOR THIS SIN, I WILL SEND YOU TO HELL MYSELF,” my dad yells as he finally recovers from the fear.
My dad has a similar build to Derricc.
Makes sense, seeing that this is a military family.
Unfortunately for him, though, he’s 20 years older than me, and nowhere near as talented as me in combat.
That’s not including the fact he’s in rage mode, so his combat sense is nonexistent.
Dad comes flying in with a punch so telegraphed that even freshly arrived boot camp rookies could defend this.
I dodge the punch, grab his arm, and throw him to the ground, breaking his arm so he can’t use it.
Then I decide to end this family by jumping as high as I can and dropping my whole 300+ pound frame into his neck knee first, caving his throat in.
With this, my family is done.
At least that’s what I think until I hear gunshots coming from behind.
I look down and see three bullet wounds in my chest, then I turn around to see Ashley, my supposed wife, brandishing a pistol and firing at me with it.
Now I don’t know if it was the adrenaline kicking in or her being a worse shot than Sarah (which is very hard to accomplish, I may add), but either way it was laughable that I not only ignored her and allowed her to shoot me but that she missed every vital possible.
I put on my best evil smirk and slowly walk up to her.
She ends up putting another five holes in me, still somehow missing vitals until the final shot, which she fires at point-blank range and hits a major artery.
Thankfully the adrenaline kicks in long enough for me to end this.
“Unfortunately for you, my dear, you didn’t kill me first.
I could’ve let you survive this but you tried to kill me and also didn’t even try to protect Derricc.
With this, it’s over,” I say as I pull out my combat knife and slice her throat clean.
She topples to the ground lifeless like everyone else, and now it’s just me in the room.
That’s when I realize Jackson has been MIA this whole time.
Due to that last shot, I start feeling the effects of blood loss and I thankfully make it back to Derricc before I collapse to the ground.
this is also backstory so I didn’t want to go into to much detail so soon but hopefully I put enough in there for all of you get an idea of what to potentially expect as far as action scenes in the future.
