"This is commander Hughes of the Freeland special forces" the man on the helicopter said loudly through the megaphone "You are trespassing in a restricted area" he said "Peacefully surrender and follow us to our base for further questioning" "If you don't, your life ends here" "That's quite a generous offer" Orie replied at the top of his voice "But I will have to decline" he said "My anger has already been kindled towards you" "So at this moment" "I don't want peace" "The only thing I want from you..." "...is problem" "The only thing I want from you..." "...is conflict" "The only thing I want from you..." "...is blood" "So look here, commander Hugh or commander Jackman or whatever you call yourself" "Don't think you can get me just because you got the jump on Matéo" Meanwhile, the fight between Mia and Genji was still at it's beginning. Mia wasn't as fast as she used to be an her strikes carried less weight but sh
In a field covered in smoke, there was a weird kind of silence. It wasn't that sounds could not be heard but that they could be heard clearly. The most prominent of those sounds was the sound of the helicopters that hovered above the field. "H3, what's your status" Hughes spoke into his communication device "I see nothing sir" a voice replied from the other side "I have no eyes on the..." The voice said and suddenly stopped "H3" "H3" "H3, REPORT!!!" Hughes yelled into his device but there was no answer. Then he looked forward through the windshield of the cockpit and saw one of his helicopters turning to face him "Oh sh**" he said he jacked a parachute from the side and jumped out of the aircraft. "Summon the mage squad" he spoke into his device as he watched the helicopter he was on burst into flames. With a loud cry and all her might, Mia swung her sword at Genji with the intent of taking off his head but for some reason, her blade couldn't go thro
"I want a sword that helps keep me alive" "A sword that once held will help me to survive" "A sword I can strike with that helps evade all strikes" "A sword for a coward to help me win all fights" Such were the words that went through Mia's head as she swallowed the glowing blue pill. As she vanished from Genji's line of sight, she reached out her hand for a sword. The moment she grabbed the sword that came to her, pictures of events she never experienced began flooding her mind, alongside the pictures came voices and an odd feeling of rage that she was sure wasn't hers. It didn't take long for her to understand that those were the memories within the sword but that wasn't the strangest part Despite the fact that there was rage within the sword and herself, Mia was sure that the the it was telling her to hang it on her waist and bring out something else. At first, she didn't listen and used the sword to attack Genji but when he covered himself in scales, Mia u
"Freeland has a law that states "superhuman abilities and magic of all forms are prohibited from being practiced. Any civilian caught using their powers in public will be charged with terrorism and arrested immediately" It is claimed by the government that this law was put in place to prevent the great Meta incident that occurred twenty-five years earlier but the law wasn't doing anything to help the underclassed citizens of the country. There were people, those that the protection of the government couldn't reach. Those who lived with constant fear in neighborhoods with the highest rates of crime. Those who had the power to fight back but were forbidden to do so by law. Soon, people grew tired. Those who were brave enough put on masks and took on nicknames in order to do what was right, they were called superheroes." Naomi narrated then took a huge slurp from her milkshake. "I moved here to join and make a difference" she added as she took another huge slurp. "So
Three shots to the head. That was all it took for Orie to end the mage squad that was held in high regards in all of Freeland. It couldn't be called a battle, it couldn't even be called a face-off because they all lost their lives as soon as they set their eyes on him. As soon as he had offed the mage squad, he set his sights back at Hughes. The commander who had just regained himself tried to run away but immediately got shot in both legs and fell. As the commander crawled in futility, the bringer of his death walked slowly behind him. Meanwhile, Shiro had found himself lost in the middle of town. "So what do now?" He asked himself as he paced around with Lighting speed. "I mean..." He said "...I had it down to the escape part but now I don't what comes next" "I don't know where my friends are, I don't know where Genji is" "How do I even...." "STOP RIGHT THERE!!!" a voice yelled through a megaphone "PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!!!" the voice yelled aga
Nega had a bit of a hard time getting back home but he was still the first to arrive. He sat on his chair in the same room he had met Orie and the others and proceeded to get a smoke. He made sure his blunt was rolled perfectly and searched himself for a lighter but couldn't find any. "Need a light?" A familiar voice said from the distance. He looked up to see someone he knew that he really needed at the moment. 'Philip Vaquero', arguably the greatest bounty hunter of his time with very few competition. With an almost perfect record, he made his way to the top spot in the bounty hunter world and what made him fearsome was that all his bounties were top tier and of the highest grade. So if Vaquero ever came for you, all you could do was hope that you were wanted alive. Such a fearsome man stood in front of Nega and called him "BOSS" with a casual salute and he reciprocated with a casual "yo" "You're quite early" Nega said as he reclined back on his chair "Well boss"
"If you ask questions that have already been asked, you will get answers you've already heard" "I find myself having to give answers to a question that has been asked many times" "A question with many answers" "An whatever action I take" "I would just be chosing amongst the multitudes of answers that have already been given" "What would you do if someone you love turned her blade against you?" "Do you strike back?" "Do you let them strike you?" "Do you find fault in them?" "Do you find fault yourself?" "Do you blame an enemy?" "Do you blame yourself?" "Many answers are given to this question" "But the only true answers are given by those who already made their choice" "Some would say that a gentleman would first try to initiate dialogue before drawing his sword" "But I am not a gentleman" "There is a creed i stand by for all situations" "If you want the story to go in your favor" "If you want to stand high at the end"
"OVERSHADOW", that is what was heard before the entire hall was thrown into a complete white-out. Everything was affected including the color of Mia's skin and hair. For a brief moment, Mia's expression showed that of one who was remorseful of her actions but it immediately switched back to the paleness it had before and she continued attacking Shiro. Her attacks had become sloppy. The intense color altering caused by Shiro's technique had a great effect on her ability to concentrate and differentiate the things in front of her and she found herself running into walls more often. "The real Mia would have figured this out by now" Shiro said in disappointment as he effortlessly evaded all her attacks. The battle stretched on and after a while, things started to regain thier normal appearance. The ominous figure in the dark made an observation. Even though he could see Shiro through a monitor, he could not feel a shred of his presence at all. The case was different a while ago
