Chapter 04: End of Earthling Life

Upon her arrival in the C.I.A. Headquarters, she slashed every single person who tried to stop her. She is sure by now that the headquarter was taken over. She just wish that the foolish boss was still alive. 

Her speed in taking down her opponents was out of this world. She searched every nook and cranny of the headquarters in search of that man. Then finally, she found him. Next to him was the head of her boss and... Corrine's head, detached on their body.

"Chaster," she spat his name in anger, as she stare at him with a bloodshot eyes. Her rage burned as the feeling of betrayal felt stronger the more she stares at him. 

She attacked him and they had a fierce exchange. Her sword got plunged somewhere during the fight and she changed into using gun.

..... 

At present time.

"Why?" The only question she can ask. At least, before dying, she wanted to know why. Hundreds of red dots were all over her body, snipers surrounded her. She is tired emotionally and her mind was not in the condition to fight anymore.

She just can not accept this. She treated Chaster like an elder brother. So even if she found out he was a spy, she make no movement against it.

Chaster sighed and called out, "King, maybe it's time to face your child?"

Raizel become confused of this statement but was more angered when a man came out from the shadows. This man's face is a photocopy of her boss. 

Yes, of course he would be. After all, he's the twin brother of his boss and also... Her father in blood.

Like how she feared, this man is really the Savvy Crayon's Mafia Group leader, the King of the criminal organization that became the subject of her investigation and loathe.

She returned her sight to Chaster and spat, "Why are you with this Vermin?!"

Of course she knew why. Chaster was this man's right hand. She just can not accept it.

"Vermin or not, he is my benefactor," Chaster replied.

"Child, don't hate me that much. Why don't you join us? It's a checkmate anyway. You have no one to return too. That sl*t mother of yours, and that boy, the product of cheating, was dead by now right? Come with me, I'll make you the only Princess of this world."

"Mother never cheated. Ren's your son!" She can't believe it. Her family died from a misunderstanding!

"So you've been fooled by that b*tch too. Anyway, that's not the topic here. I became an irresponsible father to you this past years, child. Come, allow me to pay from all those debt."

She slowly drop her gun, and then completely let it go afterwards. The red dots still did not leave her body but she do not care. She walk towards him slowly and said,

"Father..." Her eyes welled up as tears flow from her eyes.

"Can I hug you?" She asked. Her father smiled to her and she smiled back.

He opened his arms and she run towards him,

With a bomb in hand.

"Right, let's die together father," she whispered.

Chaster realized something was wrong but it's too late. The pin was already released.

But then, one second before the bomb explodes, "You almost fooled me with that tears huh?" Chaster said. Right, her tears were all act. After all, she was never taught how to cry. 

Chaster placed his body between her and her father, hugged her, and pushed her father away. 

The bomb exploded. But she was angry. That little distance between her and her father that Chaster created, increased her father's survival rate by one percent. And even if it's only one percent, she will always hate that. That was her last thought as the bomb consumes her. 

As the center of the explosion, there is no way she will survive.

....

Meanwhile, when the mysterious silhouette who was following Raizel saw that the bomb exploded, he quickly came near her, and took the white orb that was flowing out of Raizel's forehead.

It is unknown why is it that the silhouette was not affected by the explosion. Anyway, he slashed the air with his black halberd and the space was cut. He entered it and vanished from Earth.

...

On the other hand, after the man and master duo floating above the skies of L.A. saw that the final showdown ended, they prepared the runes and collected every white orb that floats out of the dead body of the human below. Then they also disappeared.

...

'So this is dying?' she thought. She can not see nor hear. She also can not talk. However, she can sense everything around her. She also felt like an astronaut in the space, who don't have any concept of up or down. 

As she felt herself floating, something 'big' grabbed her and dragged her into something unknown. It all happened fast that she has no time to resist.

'But why should I resist?' She stopped thinking when sensed they stopped.

"We're here," said the silhouette. He let go of her. Strangely, she just floated in the air without rising or falling. Then the silhouette removed his cloak and a handsome man dressed in white sutana can into view.

Sutana is a native name of this type of dress in her mother's country. It is similar to a priest's uniform, and has similarities to a cloak without hood.

"Who are you?" She don't know how she conveyed her thoughts because she have no mouth nor voice to speak of, but it seems the man understood her message.

"I am what you Earthlings called Reaper," the man answered as he draw lines in the floor of the space they were into.

She can not really describe what the room looks like as she have no eyes but she can sense that it is a blank white room that stretch on a distance.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"Fate hall. This is the hall where you will choose your fate in your next life," said the man. Then he continued to write incomprehensible characters.

'Next life? So you choose your own fate before you are born? Does that mean that she also choose to die in this manner?' Now that she think about it, why did she bombed herself? Oh right, she was angry. But what is anger?

Suddenly, she realized she do not know a single emotion. She wonder what anger is as she recall her own memory. But she can not find an answer. She just know that she was angry as what her memory told her but she forgot what it means or how that feels.

As the man continue to write characters on the floor, her concept of emotions also vanished one by one. She is no longer angry, sad, or happy. 

She realized it and asked, "what is happening?"

The man did not stop but he opened his mouth to answer, "I am preparing for your reincarnation. And to be truly reborn, you will have to forget who you were before. The past you should be left behind and you shall start a new life." Coming to this point, the man stop writing, look at her, and asked, "Now choose, what life do you wish to have?"

Raizel thinked of it and asked herself, 'what are the things that lead to me and my family's death? Who caused it?'. It's not long before she find an answer, 'was it Chaster? No. My father? No. So was it me? I guess it's me. If only... If only I lived an Ordinary Life. Maybe we continue to live happy 'til today. That's right! Since it's a mistake to live a life beyond ordinary, then in my next life, I would like to live an Ordinary Life'

After coming to this decision, she give out her answer.

"Please make my life ordinary," she said.

"Alright," replied the man. He was about to write again when something crashed the room they were in and a man entered.

This man was the man who was accompanying his master above the skies of L.A.

"Creos! How dare you stole our harvest?!" The man's booming voice shooked her to near extinction.

The man called Creos get up from the floor and stopped writing.

"Huga, don't be shameless. This is the seed that master planted. Tell me, who is stealing from who?" Creos replied as he tries to cover her from harm. His other hand move in a strange manner behind his back and a vortex slowly formed.

"Today is not your day of harvest. You even have no right to be there. Return the seedling now, or this matter will be reported to the highest seat," Huga replied calmly but his wand was already moving to send an attack.

Creos smirked and quickly threw Raizel's spirit in the vortex he created, then took his halberd and deflect the coming attack.

"Sorry, kid. Fate will decide your life, there's just isn't enough time." The man closed the vortex, but before it closed completely, she heard him whispered, "Chase it, kid. Chase the ordinary life you want."

And then black out.
