The Chronicles Of Elijah

Chapter 7 - Confrontation

Elijah woke up next day early and did his morning routine and had breakfast . He then walked to his workshop/ lab to start his daily work . He spent the day working on ongoing projects and training his body and mind . After years of practice his psychokinesis reached frightening heights now he can control different objects at the same as for the weight he is not sure as there is now way to check without making a scene but he can move more than 60 tons without overexerting himself . He also recreated a Chi manual with the helps of the Library to strengthen his life force which helped both body training and esper training. As for his body training that went smoothly as the Asura training manual made his body contend with high tier asgardian warrior . He can lift immense weight and move at high speed . After finishing his work for the day , Elijah showered and got ready to indulge himself in a much needed meditation .

Suddenly he heard his phone ringing .

He answered his phone and heard an asian accent voice : " if you wanna see your parents again you will come to the address XXXXXXXX in two hours . No calling the police or your parents will be dead . "

A feeling of anger swelled up in Elijah , he blamed himself for not giving more protection to his parents but he steeled himself and answered in an expressionless voice while directing Eve to track the call and the location of his parents as he had tagged them with a nanotech tracker from his design :" How can i know you have them ? "

He then heard his mother and father's voice from the other end of the line :" Baby don't come please honey just call the cops " said his mother while being shadowed by his father same plea .

Elijah calmed himself and said :" Calm down mother everything is gonna be okay . "

Then the asian voice said : " so now you know we have them , are you coming or not ? "

"Yes I'm coming. "Answered Elijah while his eyes showed bloodl.u.s.t as the voice hung up .

"EVE did you track my parents ? " asked Elijah

"Yes Master Elijah , they are at the same location provided by the kidnappers . Their signs are showing okay just their heartbeats are increasing ." Answered EVE as within the Nano tracker exist a vital scanner .

" Okay i'm gonna go get them back . I need you to scan the surrounding area of my house and the warehouse in that area as i'm sure SHIELD had witnessed my parents kidnapping and let it happen . " Said Elijah

" How can you be so sure ? " asked EVE

" Well they're waiting until i become hopeless so they can maybe rescue them by them i would grateful to them and they would ask me to help them " said Elijah in an uncaring manner .

"Okay I understand i will begin scanning now " said Eve

Elijah walked to his closet and wore a black suit (normal suit not some superhero costume) reinforced with the little bit of vibranium he bought from the black market. He walked out of the back of the mansion with a long suitcase in hand then pressed some button on his wrist watch , then the suit started disappearing from the visual spectrum turning him invisible. He then used his psychokinesis to fly to the agreed location .

It took him 10 minutes to arrive using the free sky . He dropped 2 blocks away from the warehouse on top of a building . He then a sniper rifle from his suitcase while Eve spoke in his ear :" I have spotted 2 agents next to the warehouse . they re in the black SUV , One of them is SHIELD while his partner is definitely a HYDRA agent . "

Elijah used the scope of his sniper rifle and shot two successive non lethal shots knocking both agent out as he doesn't want SHIELD to witness what will happen since the current director is a HYDRA leader (Alexander Pierce.)

Elijah then spotted with his enhanced vision people clad in black blended in the shadows of the night patrolling the warehouses surroundings . One look and he can guess who the people that kidnapped his parents : The Hand , and the voice in the phone should be Madam Gao . Elijah thought ' This should be harder than i thought , Madame Gao is a tricky opponent a Chi master , master manipulator hmm i guess i have to use that '

Elijah circled the block 2 times then headed directly to warehouse while showing an expression of desperation and fear while also suppressing his chi so he could be seen as a scared teenager . While approaching , a ninja like man clad in black stopped him and searched him than took him inside the warehouse . Inside , Elijah could see his parents in a chair each bound and looking haggard and next he could see the master manipulator , one of the oldest immortal in earth gazing with her usual small smile .

"Sit down Mr Müller , we have long talk ahead of us ." Said madam Gao while motioning to Elijah to sit down . He sat down while keeping his act going on but his parents were having a breakdown for fear what will happen to their son .

" Mr Müller one of the youngest genius and one of the smartest if not the smartest person alive . You are a very interesting teenager my boy quite the achievement if i say so ." Continued madam Gao while looking as dignified as always.

" who are you and what do you want with us ? " screamed Elijah while looking desperate.

" Now now no need to be hasty . What i need from you is simple and easy . " said Madam Gao while handing him some doc.u.ments " All i need from you is to sign this and your parents live otherwise .." said madam gao while two of her ninja goons placed a blade on Mr and Mrs Müller .

Elijah looked at the doc.u.ments and found it to be an equity transfer handing over 50% of shares to some shell company which he's sure is one of the Hand establishment .

Elijah kept scanning the doc.u.ment and knew what this is all about , it seems madam Gao targeted his company instead of Rand Enterprises to further her heroin business. Elijah kept reading while he focused his mind on scanning all the goons hiding then for the first time used his esper power to subtly immobilise the goons specially the ones putting a blade on his parents . After confirming the playground is his , Elijah looked up directly to madam Gao and said :" It seems the hand are looking to be wiped up ." The scared look and despair evident on his face earlier disappeared and his usual stoic expressionless face returned . Madam Gao was a bit surprised at his knowledge but years of living made her capable of concealing her emotions.

"It seems you know about us ." Said madam Gao while shifting her hand on he cane handle (cane sword) .

A deafening silence reigned on the area while a staring contest was happening between the two only his parents were showing a confused expression .

The staring contest ended when Elijah kicked the small table in front of him and used his telekinesis to further push it toward madam Gao , this distraction gave him enough time to use the trump card he needed , a soul powered chi disruptive attack . He directed the attack to hit madam Gao directly although for a master chi manipulator like her would be only disoriented for only 30 sec . It is enough time for him to take care of the goons that found themselves surprisingly unable to move , he clicked his fingers and broke their necks telekinetically and he made sure that all of them are disposed of and his parents safe for the moment by erecting a psychic barrier on their location . That was enough time for him to dodge and divert the palm attack coming from one of the five finger of the Hand . Then a battle of chi and martial arts as Elijah chose to fight without his psychokinesis as a fight with only martial art and chi would help strengthen specially with a strong pseudo- immortal like madam Gao . As the battle reigned on , Madam Gao was using her acc.u.mulated long experience and timed attacks while Elijah was using both his speed and strength as well his perfect combat technique birthed from the LOHP . Elijah readied a strong chi attack and let one palm attack hit him in the body and while the vibranium absorbed the full burnt of the attack, Elijah counterattacked with his fist coated with thick blue chi as he had discovered that his chi exudes a blue hue instead of the glowing yellow from Danny Rand . The attack hit madam Gao in the rib cage ,she gasped as Elijah used the strength of his body and chi to perform the attack . She stumbled but Elijah followed her hastily and grabbed her by the neck looking her at her gasping eyes and said :" i knew about you as i make sure to know all the organisations that could threaten my company and safety . I wasn't gonna bother with you but you touched my parents . No one hurt my family and live NO ONE ." and he broke her neck .

After finishing off madam Gao , Elijah hurried to his confused and weired out parents he cut them loose and hugged them . Despite living his second life , he loved his current parents as they loved him unconditionally .

"Mom , Dad are you both okay ? ." Asked a worried Elijah .

The question woke his parents from their daze . His father recovered first and said : " I'm fine son . What just happen . Why do you have superpowers ? And how do you know how to fight ? "

His mother also looked curious waiting for the reply.

Elijah preferring secrecy over explaining looked over Madam Gao body and took a blade from the ground and cut her head . She was an immortal and they have way to revive people , he then found some gasoline in the warehouse and lit her dead body up . Then he looked into his parents eyes and said earnestly: " This world is full of danger . One should know how to protect himself if one d.e.s.i.r.es to live a long fulfilling life ." Then he returned to look at the burning dead body of the Kun'Lun native .
