Project: Control
They say money makes the world go round. That it gives the holder power, especially when owned in billions and trillions. They don't know what real power is. Imagine having control of all scientific development in the entire world(which they do). Imagine having a military force impressive enough to go to war with a First-World country and win(which they do). Imagine having enough money to bribe the United Nations(which they don't but it would have been really cool if they did. They're pretty close though). They have it all, except real power, and it's in one of their labs.

I stared across the pristine, white hallway at the man who wanted nothing more than to run his ebony black sword across my slightly tanned neck. He stared back, unmoving, with his eyes, he projected his cold rage at me for being so difficult to eliminate.
"You can't beat me." I called out to him.
Unlike most of his emotion, his response was clear, "no, I intend to kill you."
In an instant, the magnetic pulse I've grown to despise was shot out of his left hand, his right hand swung to take my head off after I dodged and got close. I managed to evade his sword and send a lightning charged fist at him, he blocked with a magnetic force field that I Immediately disrupted with my mind, but he kicked me in the sternum, sending me flying.
