Obscurity-Book 1

Chapter 12-Upgrade (2/2)

Chapter 12-Upgrade (2/2)

Oct 19, 2022

   Before the song could even properly begin, Nino Man turned into a vacant parking lot with a large, plain building right beside it. "Oh look, we're here." The two get out of the car after Daimian paused his cassette player, moving swiftly to the back of the truck. With the blindfold still on, he was ordered to drag Killy out of the bed of the truck as Nino Man directed him toward the door of a building.
   "A little to the left," Nino Man told Daimian, who hit Killy's head against the door frame. After a few minutes, Daimian was able to bring Killy into the seemingly empty building, with only the light hum of an air conditioning unit to keep the three company. He felt a plush carpet at his feet and the scent of mint in the air that only confused him more. At the end of the hallway, Nino Man stopped him from going any further. "Okay, we should be coming up on some stairs in a bit."
   "Is the blindfold really ne-"
   "YES!"
   Daimian shook his head as Nino Man continued to direct him through the hallway. Moving through the staircase, he could feel Killy's head being bumped by every step they took, fearing that he might wake up and choke him to death. Walking along the hallway of a higher floor, the three finally arrived at a door that Nino Man started to open. "We just need to go through this door and we'll be in my office."
   As they silently entered the room, Nino Man pointed out a place for Daimian to put Killy. "There's a couch to your left. Just put him there and let me deal with him later. After that, you can take the blindfold off.
   Daimian shuffled around, trying his best to put Killy on the couch. Even after feeling around, it still took him a few tries to get the big man on the plush cushions. Once he did, he grabbed the ends of the cloth and untied the thin blindfold. "Woah-" he looked in amazement at the room he found himself standing in.
   The wooded walls of the supposed office looked freshly polished, several items hanging off of the walls. To his right, Daimian saw a massive flat screen television that sat above an ivory coffee table and cabinet set with touches of silver. The mostly warm tones of the carpet and cloth fixtures made a nice contrast with the dark wood used for the walls. In the back of the room lay a desk set in front of a window with golden curtains that only brightened the room.
   "Nice place you got here, man." Daimian spun around in total astonishment. "So lavish, so crisp. I haven't seen a thing like this anywhere else in town."
   "Yeah. I know it is, I pretty much live here," Nino Man tonelessly added, looking down at Killy as Daimian continued to walk around.  Taking off Killy's gloves, Nino Man sat by the couch with a blank stare as he unclipped the massive gauntlets from Killy's rough hands.
   "You gotta be really rich if this is where you're livin', huh."
   Nino Man shrugged. "Eh, I've been in better places than this, believe me." After he finished, he managed to get the gloves to click open and took them off of Killy's fists. Picking them up with each hand, Nino Man looks down as Daimian came up to him.
   "So what are you gonna do with these things exactly," he asked, pointing at them.
   "Store them," Nino Man quickly responded. "These gloves give their users incredible strength. Enough to lift a car over their head, or at least a little European cube one." He looked down at the unconscious body on his couch. "Killy's been using these for his selfish crimes and other purposes I can't even imagine. But with these gauntlets gone, his power should be gone too. I'm sure glad you were there with me to take him down."
   Nino Man walked back to the door of the office while Daimian followed behind curiously. "But just in case, I need you to stand guard in case he wakes up. I don't want him trying to get these things back and messing shit up again."
   "You got it, Nino Man," Daimian said as his partner closed the door. Turning back, he looked the room over once more, focusing mostly on the desk. He noticed a gaming computer that was flashing it's rainbow lights through the crevices. "Well, I suppose when you can afford it," Daimian shrugged as he investigated the desk further. He looked down at a little gold plaque that said 'Nino Man' on it in bold letters.
   "I guess I never truly asked Nino about his name, I just kind of got it off of the news." Daimian kept staring at the name. "Kind of weird since Nino in Spa-"
   Before he could finish his sentence, Daimian heard a weak groan come from behind him. He started to turn around in a cold sweat, nervously peeking over his shoulder as he did, hearing rustling by the couch.
   Flomp
   Sitting there on the floor behind him was Killy with his goggles off. His eye was still scarred from the fight at the graduation party, though it seemed to be decently healed. The rest of his body was covered in bruises and cuts from the pieces of glass he was hit with not even half an hour earlier.
   "GHAH!" Seeing him caused Daimian to jump, knocking some things off of Nino Man's desk. Before it fell to the ground, Daimian managed to catch the monitor of the computer. "Woop! Close one." After he set the monitor back on the desk, he noticed Killy struggling on the floor.
   Mumbling, Killy rammed into the coffee table, making a remote fall onto the fuzzy carpet below. He aimed his head toward the remote, trying to bring attention to it. Daimian nervously chuckled as he pointed down at the remote. "What, you wanna watch some TV?"
   Mumbling, Killy nodded as Daimian picked up the remote. Turning it on, he saw the television fizz into news coverage of what happened moments earlier. Daimian sits on the couch and looked up at the massive screen with Killy at his feet. The anchor on the screen seemed to have live footage of the bank, reporting the news next to it.
   "Just an hour ago, the local authorities reported another sign of these 'Killy robberies' our city has been experiencing these past few months now. It's said that Nino Man and his supposed sidekick 'Obscurity' took him after beating him unconscious just across the street from the bank downtown. They also have taken the truck that belonged to the criminal. We go live to the scene where Nino Man makes a quick statement on the recent attack."
   "Huh," Daimian tilted his head in confusion as the reporter goes to the scene. "But he was just here..."
   "Well, the police and I are currently interrogating this guy to understand his motives. Why he's doing what he's doing, really," Nino Man said to the reporter next to him. "We haven't gotten much, but we're pushing for results within the next few days."
   Daimian, still confused, looked down at Killy.
   "On that note, I should be going in order to settle this soon. Nino Man signing off."
   "Wai-" Daimian used the remote to turn the screen off, still looking down at Killy. "But Killy's here. How does- Wh-" He looked to his left at the sound of paper falling back at Nino Man's desk. "Stay here," Daimian said, pointing down at Killy still stuck crawling on the floor with his hands tied.
   Daimian bended down to pick up and read some of the papers on the carpeted floor.
   "Day One, Pawn Shop Plan, Gauntlet Designs..." Each page featured detailed blueprints of the various locations mentioned, including Dan's café, the Pawn Shop, the building Daimian lived in. With harsh eyes, Daimian flipped to one particular page and started reading it. "The Obscurity Suit." he skimmed through the notes, only reading a few parts out loud. "Bomb fail-safe placed in belt if need be," he quoted, looking down at the circular device on his belt.
   He looked back at Killy in worry before looking back at the stack of papers. In it, he noticed one hanging out behind the rest and placed it in the front. "The July Plan." Before reading, he looked down at Killy, now trying to crawl back onto the couch. "Did- did you know about this, Killy?" The large man shook his head, trying to mumble some words that Daimian didn't seem to understand. Rubbing his eyes, he looked back at the stack at the July Plan for more details.
   "Oh ho ho..."
   The door of the office creaked open as Nino Man approached from the dimly lit hallway. Standing in the door frame, he looked over at Daimian, who froze in place when he heard the chilling voice.
   "I would put those down if I were you, Obscurity..."
