93 Beatdown with the Land Guardians
Both Simon and Flynn felt their blood boiling, they never expected the Land Guardians to resort to such means. But at the same time, they didn't think it was out of the Land Guardians nature to rely on anything else other than their authority.
Shane quickly yanked the papers out of the soldier's hand and shoved it in his desk before clicking the mouse to his computer a few times. "Alright, everything's done so have claimed the land there."
Simon stood up furiously and turned around to grab the soldier by the throat and warned the soldier in a threatening tone, "Here's a little suggestion from me. If you can't beat us through strength you probably shouldn't do anything to piss us off."
"Ha, what are you going to do then? It's illegal to go against any of the military forces, even what you're doing right now can be counted as an act of violence and treason," The soldier said with a large grin on his face.
"Oh, we don't mind doing it the illegal ways though," Simon gave the soldier a grin that sent shivers down his spine.
The soldier felt the grip around his neck loosen and he felt relieved, although he said everything confidently; in reality, he was shitting himself like crazy just standing in front of Simon.
The soldier suddenly felt a powerful force strike his stomach, his back arched and his body almost turned into the shape of a U before he flew backwards into the elevator door. The strength in the punch sent the soldier through the door.
He laid in the elevator unconscious. Shane began to panic, especially when Simon turned to look at him.
"Please don't hurt me," Shane said while he quivered in his seat. He didn't make eye contact with Simon, the fear he felt throughout his body prevented him from doing so. He quickly reached below his desk and silently pressed a small button.
"If you don't want to be hurt; then maybe you shouldn't go pissing off the strong people in the world," Simon said angrily as he threw a right hook. Shane's body flew to the side and crashed into the wall.
Simon held back a bit in that punch since he didn't really want to kill, he didn't want that to weigh down on his conscious.
While all that was going on Flynn quickly finished the paperwork but made a few changes. He changed the location of the island to 200 kilometres out from Sydney. He went over and put it in Shane's desk before clicking a few things on the computer to confirm the claim.
As he did that felt the underside of Shane desk and felt the button by the edge, he stood up and turned towards Simon "Alright, we should go now otherwise we'll have to deal with a lot more soldiers."
"What are you talking about? We should at least give them a warning first, one that they would make sure to remember," Simon said that with a bloodthirsty grin. Unlike Lachlan, he hasn't had the chance to fight against a bunch of soldiers. He was feeling pumped at the thought, 'Maybe these soldiers could give me a challenge."
Flynn could already tell that he wouldn't be able to convince Simon otherwise so he quickly hid below the desk. Although he had a bit of strength he didn't know how to fight, especially against numbers.
Simon turned back towards the elevator. It had long since gone back down and now it was coming back up. When it reached the top where they were Simon saw the soldier's body wasn't there. It had been replaced by 15 other soldiers, all of them had weapons in their hands.
Pointing their gun towards Simon the soldier in the front shouted at him, "Get on the ground and put your hands behind your head!"
Although Simon wasn't expecting guns it wasn't like there was anything else the soldiers could rely on in this small room.
Simon just stood their silently, staring at the soldiers with a terrifying grin. The soldier at the front couldn't hide his nerves, "I said get on the ground and put your hands behind your head!"
Simon snapped his fingers and the desk that Flynn was hiding under went flying through the air towards the soldiers' heads. Behind the desk Flynn was laying on his back with his legs fully extended, it was obvious that he kicked the desk.
"I knew I could count on you," Simon said with a smile as he gave the thumbs up.
The soldiers had the desk smashed against them and were temporarily shocked. Although they were able to knock themselves out of it since they were soldiers, that brief moment on time they weren't focused Simon took advantage of it.
He pounced on the soldiers like a tiger, he grabbed onto the leading solder's arm and crushed it with his strength. Twisting his body Simon dragged the soldier through the air and using it like a bat he smashed the surrounding soldiers across the head.
The soldiers from behind quickly sprayed their guns. The glass was quickly shattered as the target of the bullets had disappeared from their sight.
Simon had ducked below and placed his hand on the ground before spinning his lower body. Simon smashed the legs of the soldier in two before he quickly stood up and grabbed the solder's arms. Just like with the leading soldier he spun around and smashed the rest of the soldiers unconscious.
"Alright, I suppose we can go now, that should be plenty memorable," Simon said happily as he gestured Flynn to come over.
He suddenly heard the elevator ding and realised there was a whole new batch of soldiers, this time they weren't paired with guns but rather knives.
This batch of soldiers specialised in close quarter combat. After all, sometimes bullets could be extremely inaccurate or they might be located in a small room.
The glass behind Simon shattered again, Simon felt something pierce his leg. Simon almost collapsed from the shock right there as the bullet pierced his calf. 'Shit, it's a sniper."
Flynn quickly moved back and laid his back against the wall. He made sure no sniper could see him.
The soldiers paired with their knives quickly pounced on Simon while he was weak. Simon knew things weren't looking too good for him but he had his ways to get out of this situation.
Clenching his fist he threw a jab and smashed one of the soldiers in the face. But before any of them could do anything a ball of air burst through the ends of Simon's hands. Pushing all the soldiers behind the lead backwards.
Some of those soldiers quickly gave up on attacking Simon but targeted someone he should care about, Flynn. They sprinted towards him with their knives ready to strike.
Flynn quickly leapt up and took a step forward. He grabbed the backrest on the chair and lifted the whole thing up. Twisting his body Flynn threw the whole chair at them. Unfortunately, the soldiers specialise in close quarter combats and ducked beneath the chair.
But Flynn took this opportunity and pounced forward, grabbing the chair Simon and himself sat on. He quickly grabbed on tightly swung the chair towards the soldiers' heads. Three of the soldiers were knocked unconscious by the hit but the final one managed to dodge.
On Simon's side of things, he continued to use the power of the elements as he fought. Whenever he threw a punch or kick he would always use either fire or wind to create more damage. The burns and cuts across the soldiers he would we numerous.
Looking towards Flynn, Simon saw the final soldier get to him and strike Flynn with his knife. Because Flynn has never been in sight before he panicked at the sight of a blade heading towards him and used his arms to shield his face.
The knife went through Flynn's arm and the soldier continued his attack. He grabbed onto Flynn's arm and dragged Flynn towards him. He quickly threw out a few powerful punches, two in the face and one in the gut.
Flynn bent over and grabbed onto his stomach from the shock. The soldier took advantage of this and raised his arm before elbowing Flynn in the back of the head. It quickly knocked Flynn unconscious.
Simon felt the rage flow through his body as he didn't hold back anymore. Using the full strength of his elements Simon began burning the soldiers' skin off while using the wind he left some deep wounds across their bodies.
They laid on the ground groaning in pain. Simon quickly sprinted over to Flynn and beat up the final soldier. Throwing some strong punches to the gut, he then grabbed onto the soldier's arm and punched upwards onto the elbow, snapping the arm in half.
The soldier collapsed from the pain and fell to his knees. Simon quickly grabbed onto Flynn and summoned Storm outside the building.
Simon jumped through the window holding Flynn in his arms onto Storm before shooting to the skies. Simon felt a bullet graze past his arm as he flew away. Fortunately, he was prepared and changed the way the wind moved around him, forcing the bullet's trajectory to change course.
Before long Simon and Flynn were already too far away for the sniper to reach them.
Back in the city on the rooftop of a building was a woman with a sniper in front of her. She leaned against the building's railing and muttered under her breathe, "I wonder how Lachlan's doing."
...
Back at the island, Simon had just finished informing them of everything that happened. He then turned towards Chloe, "I'm sorry I let my emotions get the best of me, I know it was stupid to involve Flynn in the fight against the soldiers."
"It's alright, not to mention he sounds as though he involved himself in the fight. Also, it seems you now own him considering he technically saved you from the gunman," Chloe explained.
"True that; he came in clutch at the start of the fight," Simon responded while nodding. "Maybe we should get him to train a bit, you know, use the island's gravity to make him a bit stronger. Also, teach him how to fight, just so he can defend himself."
"I'll talk to him about it, it also seems we might have to move location," Chloe said with a sigh. She didn't expect the Land Guardians to have such tricks up their sleeves.
"Cough, cough," Flynn got everyone's attention with a cough. "Or we could just move the island," Flynn said with a mischevious grin.
