Hollywood Zenith

After timing it right, he took a step back and leapt on the warehouse roof. It had a slight slope to it but managed to stay standing after some deliberation. He had already located people that were inside the facility but the layout still eluded him.

He followed his plan and aimed for one of air vents. Without even putting his hand forward, he began channeling his magic powers creating a tiny flame which would be barely visible in light. It was pure blue in color and danced aggressively between his hands.

After years of practice, he managed to learn all the elemental magic but he never used it in his day to day life. It would only bring more problems his way so he reserved his Titles for emergency use. Creating a scorching flame was a basic technique that he learned from Apollo, with five meters, he could freely control the elements that included fire.

He inspected the vent, it was narrow but he was sure he could fit inside of it. There was a five meter drop but he could slowly venture inside without making noise. Soon, the seams around the vent started melting, at first it was slow but after some time it accelerated that's when he stopped the fire and carefully removed the grill.

It was hot but he didn't care, his rapid healing would soon restore his hands but he was still careful with the grill placing it gently on the slope opposite of the vent. He looked around to see if anyone noticed his presence but it seemed like he was successful with his breach.

If it was a movie, there would be dozen of laser traps but it seemed the security here was very lax probably because no one would suspect anyone special was hiding in such a run down warehouse. It could be deemed a black site for a CIA if they were careful enough to erase their traces.

Samuel chuckled inward before slowly descending down the vent, using his hands, he kept himself steady and soon reached the narrow passage. He might look the part but in his tight black attire, his bulging muscles and impressive physique was showing more than he liked.

Contrary to people's belief, he didn't like to expose himself in front of others but his 'ninja' suit was practical and acted like secondary skin on top of his body. He felt especially suffocated around his manhood, it was one of those rare instances where he didn't like his body's 'advantage'.

Scanning the area again, he crawled toward the opening and looked inside. His brows furrowed, because he didn't expect to find a huge computer farm inside. It seemed the industrial cooler were doing more than their fair share of work. With such heavy equipment, it was evident, they would need a state of the art cooling system.

He noticed few people tapping away on the keyboard, he couldn't look at their faces but they worked like they were machines. They looked fairly young and of different races. He was puzzled for a second before he understood the problem with the scene.

He had the same deja vu, not feeling their intentions. These people didn't display any sort of emotions just like the person he met in the party. Then, several guards making rounds. They should be the one to oversee whatever these people were doing.

He thought for a second, were these people held against their will? he was utterly confused but thought it was best to not disturb this room for now. He had already located Richard, so he could get all the answers out of him if he was forceful enough.

If they were victims, he would try to rescue them which could change up some of his plans. How could he sneak more than ten people out of this place? He didn't worry about it for now and kept moving.

He passed through several other rooms, most of them were empty but he saw where these people were staying, a enclosed bunker with minimum necessities. The place looked horrible and dirty, he couldn't believe how could anyone live here when there were so many good rooms in this place?

There were bunk beds, after counting them he saw twelve unkempt beds. There were garbage everywhere, even the stench was disgusting. It was like an animal pen which really ticked him off. Now he really started thinking how he should help them as this was not how human beings should live.

He made his way toward other facilities, like high class kitchen, game room and other amenities but they all looked empty. The next place that he passed by really made his blood boil. The room was similar to what he had seen earlier but there were many people inside.

He heard muffled screams and also saw dozens of young girls huddled together in the corner as they watched on with horrified expression on their faces. Suddenly, his vision blurred and everything turned black.

He knew if he didn't control his strong emotions than, his mind would shut off leading him to become someone who was alien to them. What this person seeked was to eliminate the thing that caused the incident, it could resolve itself or do something completely out of his control.

His vision was blurry but he could hear faint screams and felt his body move. There was a sharp pain in his hands followed by a feeling of falling. He remembered running after which all that remained were several more blood curling screams followed by a strong stench of iron.

It felt like he was out for hours after which he opened his eyes only to feel wetness surrounding his whole body. Warm liquid was trickling down his head almost getting in his eye, he shook his head trying to get his bearing.

What he saw next was a severed hand that he was holding in his palm. He looked around and saw seven bodies all dismembered beyond recognition. From their clothes, he knew they were guards of this place but their well protective breastplates and weapons were bend awkwardly sticking out of their bodies in weird angles.

One might think, he would feel bad or have a urge to vomit seeing such a brutal scene but he felt nothing. He was eerily calm followed by a subtle of euphoria, that one felt when they did something good. That's right, he was feeling extremely satisfied with his handiwork.
