Silven searched around the mess that was his room. I cant miss anything he thought to himself, his life depended on it.
Silven was sixteen year old ghoul living in tokyo, but of course young ghouls these days were forced to mature quickly or face a violent death.
Ghouls were the only known predators of man. Forced to consume flesh to live, Humans hunted ghouls in the day and ghouls hunted humans at night, it was a vicious cycle of killing and hatred.
He didn't really hate humans however, though he strongly believed that ghouls were superior to humans. Silven simply killed them to survive, and to protect and feed his little sister Reyna of course.
He was wearing a black sweatshirt and blue jeans at the moment. His jet black shaggy hair had fallen into his eyes again, he brushed it away in annoyance.
Tokyo these days had become an all out war zone.
Had been bad enough when all we had to worry about was the ghoul investigators, know to ghouls as doves. now in days its more probable that ill get ripped in two by a rival ghoul.
Recently a Group of radical ghouls calling themselves Aogiri Tree had formed a ghoul army and had been waging a war against the doves.
They had conquered a good part of Japan, killing everyone who opposed them.
Silven was a member of Aogiri Tree serving as a lieutenant under general Ayato, the only problem was that Silven wanted out.
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, "hey are you almost done in their?" Came a female voice in english from the other side of the door.
The voice belonged to Lana, a close childhood friend, she had been with Silven and his sister for about five years now.
When they were alone they preferred to speak in english, Lana grew up in the UK so english was her native language.
Silvens mom had been American and had taught him and his sister english when they were still very young, to Silven english sounded as natural as Japanese.
Silven and his sister Reyna both looked more american than Japanese, they both had rounded american bright blue eyes, and teardrop shaped faces.
The two siblings looked very much alike, both had dark hair inherited from their dad. They were both pale, and had long slender fingers. The main trait that they shared was eyes, they both had brilliant blue eyes that they had gotten from their mom
He quickly shoved the rest of the cloths into a duffle bag and opened the door. Lana was impatiently standing their with all of her possessions already packed.
Lana was rather slim and of average height, she had short red hair that was always in a mess and freckles covering her face, she was wearing a red hoodie and ripped jeans with combat boots on.
She was rather stunning, in Silvens opinion, with her vibrant green eye and delicate features.
"What the fuck were you doing in their? What took you so long?" she asked, foul mouthed as ever, breaking the illusion of delicateness.
"Just thinking...you know this is the last time we will ever see this place" He looked around at the partially collapsed hallway.
The top floor on an abandoned hotel had been the home of Silven and Lana for the last three months. The hotel was located in the eleventh ward, no one in Aogiri even knew where they intended to keep it that way.
They lived here because the eleventh ward was currently the home to the Aogiri headquarters and they were expected to respond at a moment's notice.
It was easy to find the hotel for all of the towns in this part of the country had been abandoned.
All of the humans in the eleventh ward had either been slaughtered or evacuated.
"C'mon let's move we don't have much time" Silven said as he hung his bag strap over his shoulder and went over to the window. "Reyna is waiting for us at the drop off site, we need to stash our stuff over their before we can do anything."
When they moved into the hotel Silven and Lana had collapsed the stairwell and the elevator shaft so no noisy ghoul or desperate human would stumble upon them.
The only way in and out was through a window on the top floor...which was about seventy feet above street level.
"After you" Silven gestured to the window with a grin. Lana's Kagune burst out of her back.
Kagune were the ghouls ultimate weapon for killing humans, and to a lesser extent other ghouls.
Their Kagune paired with their inhuman strength, speed, and superior senses made any ghoul extremely lethal in combat.
Lanas Kagune was a rinkaku type, shining scale, as a rule most rinkaku consisted of four appendages coming out of the lower back.
Lana was no exception, she was perched on the window sill with four long spindly, yet incredibly strong, spider-like limbs sprouting from her back.
Kagune were made of a special type of cells called RC cells, they could fuse together and create a smooth as silk, almost weightless, flexible weapon that was stronger than solid titanium. The RC cells could burst through the skin at the ghouls command through an organ called the Kakuhou.
The average kagune had a distinct red colour with black veins pulsing through it, though some where known to be blue or even purple.
Using her kagune Lana could climb almost any surface, Silvens kagune unfortunately was much less suited for climbing.
She looked back at Silven "Okay hold on tight now! " Lana grasped Silven around the chest with superhuman strength and lept out the window.
once they had cleared the window Lanas kagune shot out and and grasped the vertical wall punching four holes in the plaster.
Silven held on as they climbed down the building. Lana's spider legs were extremely useful for a wide variety of situations, whether it be escaping a bad situation, or attacking so fast it felt like being hit with a damn jackhammer.
They dropped the last twenty feet the ground and landed on their feet. Lana Pulled the Kagune back into her back.
Lana and Silven had made quite a name for themselves from all of the doves they had killed together, it wouldn't do to have some ghoul recognize her kagune...then they would have been forced to kill them for seeing their faces.
"Lets go" he started to run down the street, Lana in close pursuit
They ran for several blocks without saying saying a word, both were extremely nervous about what they were going to do.
Silven thought he might throw up, thankfully the feeling passed.
You don't simply "leave" Aogiri Tree, once you join you join for life, if you try to desert they will hunt you down and kill you.
Silven and Lana knew this very well, in fact they had hunted down some ghoul deserters themselves, the deserters had been rather weak but it left a bad taste in Silvens mouth...killing his own kind.
Silven and Lana were determined not to make that same mistake, that's why they decided they were going to fake their own deaths and flee the country.
"There, that's it right?" Lana cried out breaking through the blanket silence that was smothering them.
On the brink of a polluted river was a concrete building with vines creeping over it. This building had been deserted long before Aogiri invasion, there was a rusted bulldozer on its side next to it.
Reyna was Silvens responsibility, ever since their parents had been killed in front of them by doves. At the time he was was eight and she was two. They had been surviving on their own ever seance.
The surviving had made them tough, all ghouls could become stronger by fighting and surviving. the Kakuhou was like a muscle...the more you used it the stronger it got
Silven and Lana had killed and used their Kagune more often than most ghouls did in their entire lives, They could both control their Kagunes as if it was an extra limb...in truth it was.
They slowed down to a walk and went inside the concrete building. Silven looked around. His sister had hidden herself well.
Even with his heightened senses he would never have know she was here, if he didn't know where to look.
But Silven did know where to look, Ghouls gave off pheromones and a unique scent the same as humans, he could smell the familiar scent of his sister all around the building, he could also hear her quickened heartbeat from the storage closet on the side wall.
"Rey, you can come on out it's us!" Silven yelled over to the closed door.
The door opened and Reyna shot out. She ran over and gave silven an exited hug.
"Silven! you're finally here, I thought you guys would never come" she excitedly bubbled.
"I thought it was you, i could tell by your and Lana's scent."
"But you told me to hide no matter who it was!" Silven smiled in relief that she was still their and unharmed, "no you did exactly what you should have done, it's always better to be too careful"
Reyna ran over and gave Lana a quick hug as well. Lana patted her on the Head, "it's good to see you to little one"
Ever Since Reyna had met Lana she had seen her as a kind of adopted big sister, and in return Lana was fiercely protective of her, almost as protective as Silven was.
Silven looked over his hyperactive ten year old sister. Her bright blue eyes were wide open in the excitement of seeing them.
Her shoulder length dark black hair was choppy and unevenly cut. Silven and Lana had cut it in the old hotel with some safety scissors Lana had found.
They hadn't had any contact with humans (except killing them) since they joined Aogiri Tree two years ago, so the three of them just made do with what they had and did it themselves
Reyna's clothes were torn and frayed in some places, but clean never the less.
She was wearing a raincoat that was too big for her and she wore a skirt that ended just above her knees. The was wearing a well worn pair of tennis shoes, and two pairs of socks for extra warmth.
Most of the cloths that the Reyna owned was looted out of abandoned houses or where Lana's hand-me-downs . Therefore none of it matched and most of it fit badly
It made Silven feel guilty that this was the best he could do for his last living family member, but all of the clothes that he and Lana owned were given to him by Aogiri.
I can't exactly ask for some little girl clothes, that might raise some eyebrows
He could always admit the existence of his sister to Ayato and get clothes for her, but that would mean putting his sister in danger. He want willing to givethem a bargaining chip in case they needed to assure Silvens loyalty.
Silven had kept her a secret for this long, he could do it for a bit longer
Reyna hopped back a few steps and stood in front of them, "So when do we go!, are we going now!"
Silven crouched down bringing them to eye level "We just have to do one more thing, and then we will be back to get you, I promise"
Reyna looked disappointed "how much longer do I have to wait?" she pouted.
Lana answered for him "two days at most, if we don't return by then we want you to go without us, just get to the airport and show them your papers"
Reyna suddenly looked afraid "I...but...please don't die, I really don't know what I would do without you!" she sniffed "make sure you come back okay?" she looked both of them in the eyes.
"I promise" they said together. I actually have no idea if we can keep that promise
Silven thought privately.
"Are you cold at night, are you hungry" Silven eyed the Storage closet she had been sleeping in with distaste. their was a nest of blankets and a pillow inside.
Reyna shook her head no.
"I brought you some food" Silven said anyway he reached inside his bag and took out double wrapped paper bag, inside was a human hand.
Reyna's attention fixated on the bag, although she couldn't see inside she could smell it, her eyes glazed over black veined with red and her pupils turned blood red. She started to drool.
This was another trait of ghouls, whenever they were hungry or enraged their true eyes came out.
Most ghouls could control their eyes but Reyna was still young and hadn't had much practice, she was also still unable to use her Kagune, Silven would have to teach her how to use it soon.
Reyna blinked hard and when she opened them again her eyes had returned to the bright blue that they always where.
Silven and Lana laughed "Not hungry huh, here take this we might not get a chance to eat for a long time, and I want you to be full"
Reyna, still drooling, took the paper bag and stored it in the closet. Silven knew from experience that she was self conscious about eating in front of others.
He turned to Lana "Ok, lets go get dressed", "right" Silven walked to one of the abandoned rooms and got undressed.
Ghouls hid their faces whenever they were hunting, this was a necessity for if the doves ever caught a glimpse of their faces any chance of living a peaceful life was over.
They would hunt you to the far ends of the earth, if you ever tried to blend in with humans they would sniff you out.
To remedy this Ghouls wore masks when hunting.
Of course killing every witnees is its own form of stealth, Lanas prefered approach.
Lana was fond of a silver plated steel mask in the shape of a snarling wolf.
Silvens mask was gold plated in the shape of a lion with its lip drawn back.
He pulled on a black trench coat that he and Lana alway wore when working for Aogiri.
The trench coats and masks had been specially made for them by a ghoul taylor they had found in the twentieth ward named Uta, they had holes in them in key spots so that their Kagune could release without ripping the coat.
The Hooded Trench Coats were made of lightweight polymer and went down to their knees.
They were split in two in the center in between the legs in the front and the back. (think completely black Assassins Creed robes without the armor on the outside)
The split knee feature allows for unhindered running and jumping in a combat situation, the hood was added for extra anonymity and was made of a stiff fabric so it would stay up at all times.
Silven personally thought they looked pretty badass too, which was a plus.
He came out and saw Lana holding her mask in her hand and having a whispered conversation with Reyna.
" -ave to survive for the both of us If we don't come back. Just remember that we both love you very much."
He was one of the only people that knew how under Lanas tough interior there was a soft spot for those she cared about, Silven cleared his throat to get her attention
Lana's head snapped around to glare at Silven. She quickly walked over "Don't eavesdrop on people, you creep!" she only half jokingly told him.
"Alright I'm ready,should we go?" She pulled her mask down over her face, Silven followed suit.
They ran a little ways away from the building to a part of the city filled with low one story shops before Lana let her Kagune out.
Now that they had their masks on it didn't matter who saw them, in fact it was probably extra protection, any ghoul that lived within the eleventh ward would know who they were and wouldn't dare attack them.
Lana pushed off the ground with her Kagune and jumped vertically twenty feet onto the top of a building, landing as gracefully as a trained acrobat
well then, I Guess we're taking the rooftops, well they are quite quicker than the street
Silven using his RC enhanced muscles started to run up the side of an opposite building, using all four limbs he pushed of the wall and jumped across the street to the roof Lana had just landed on.
Together they ran across the rooftops of the lower buildings, jumping gaps up to five feet long with ease.
Silven saw some ghouls in alleyway eyeing them as they ran away, but slinking away when they saw their masks and the four oversized spider legs trailing behind Lana.
They dashed over roof over roof, the backs of their trenchcoats streaming behind them always, moving towards the suburbs of town until finally they saw the complex.
It was an extremely strategic location,there were no buildings surrounding the complex so they couldn't be snuck up on. It was also in a central location almost in the exact center of the eleventh ward.
Silven and Lana slowed their paces to a walk.
they carefully approached the complex
There were several sentries surrounding the complex, they wore the tattered Aogiri grunt uniforms, wearing the standard skull like masks
two of them stepped out from behind trees and challenged them, their Kagune already out.
They both had koukaku Kagune,shining shield, easily the most common type among the weaker ghouls, they looked like large blue veined curved swords sticking out of their sleeves in place of arms.
"Who goes their! Identify yourself" they yelled in japanese.
Lana lept on top of him lightning fast speed, In a fraction of a second one of her razor sharp legs was pressed against the grunts throat.
"Who the fuck does you think I is?, god open eyes moron!"
Lana threatened in broken japanese, she had always had problems learning the language.
The Aogiri grunt looked ready to shit himself, Silven chuckled very quietly under his mask at the show Lana was putting on.
Silven rarely used his Kagune unless he was prepaired to kill, Lana relished using hers at the smallest opportunity, like now for example, using it for no other reason than to intimidate others.
The Aogiri grunt flashed his eyes from Lana to Silven then back to Lana.
Silven patiently waited for them to remember the fake names that they went by in Aogiri.
He stuttered out apologetically "u-um y-yes Rin my apologies, the assembly is about to start. And Jun right that way" he pointed towards the entrance of the complex.
Once Lana let him go and retracted her Kagune, the four of them walked up to the reinforced double doors, they looked as if they could hold off a tank.
Silven, spied snipers with high powered human rifles patrolling the upper complex.
Are they expecting an attack? we need to be out of here before that happens.
Silven and Lana had build up quite a profile in the CCG, the agency devoted to killing ghouls, the Doves where their agents. the ratings went from weakest to strongest C, B, A, S, SS, and an incredibly Rare SSS.
The two ghouls that were escorting them where C rated, easily the most common ghouls.
Cannon fodder, I bet my sister could kill you, you'll be dead within a month. Silven though with contempt.
Individually they were both low S rated ghouls but working together they were easily mid-tier SS rated
Ayato kirishima, their superior and an SS rated ghoul, had quickly learned to keep them in the same unit.
Together Silven and Lana had taken down groups of Opponents that should have been impossible to take down.
Thought they had put on a wide variety of assignments in the past ranging from espionage to arson, recently however the two of them were mainly used in assassination assignments, it was what they truly excelled at.
Silven and Lana had silenced a great number of Doves, and even killed some ghouls that had been causing trouble for Aogiri.
The entered into a large auditorium inside the assembly was about to start.
About one hundred identical ghoul grunts sat in a perfect square in the middle of the assembly room, Tatara was OCD about that.
It always amazed Silven seeing this many ghouls in one place and this was only a tiny fraction of the ghouls in Aogiri that garrisoned the base. their was about one thousand ghouls under the command of the one eyed king
The leaders stood on a raised platform on the opposite side of the room.
Tatara and Noro where direct subordinates of the one eyed king, who supposedly was in charge of Aogiri, despite the fact that no one had ever seen him, Silven personally had troubles believing he existed.
The two ghouls where were in charge of this entire ward in absence of the one eyed king.
Tatara was a Chinese ghoul with a red mask that covered the bottom half of his face. He was young, had white hair and always wore a white lab coat, he had cold calculating eyes.
Tatara sat on a raised ripped padded chair like it was a throne. Sylven had no major problems with tatara, although he had a slight superiority complex towards his fellow ghouls.
The other guy was standing next to him in a long black coat that went down to his feet.
Noro was a different matter entirely, he terrified Silven.
He never speaks, or at least ive never seen him speak , he also smells weird, he's a freak is what he was.
No one had ever seen his face, just a white ovular mask with a giant mouth painted on it, he ate a ridiculous amount of flesh and had extreme regenerative capabilities.
The generals and higher ranking ghouls stood on either side along the walls.
Their was the bin brothers leaning against one wall they wore black tattered robes with almost identical white oval masks, a set of twins that mainly handled Base affairs.
Their normal enough, I still wouldn't trust them in a million years.
Their was Niko and Yamori standing in corner together
Niko was mostly a mystery to Silven, he just tried to avoid him.
Yamori, also know as Jason, wore the usual white tuxedo, his pale blond hair was short and slicked back...he was also a complete psycho whose only joy in life was causing others pain.
He had a room where he stored "pets" that he would torture to the brink of death, let them heal and then repeat the process.
Silven and Lana had made it one of their life goals to never be within two hundred feet of him.
The insane fuckers that are in charge here are one of the main reasons we need to get out, else me or Lana may end up in Yamoris torture chair some day. I won't let that happen.
The ghouls that escorted them here nudged Silven "General Ayato should be here in a moment" then the two ghouls went and took a seat with the other Aogiri soldiers
Lana and Silven went to stand by a wall as far away from Yamori as possible, waiting for Ayato to join them.
Banjou, another of Ayato's subordinates was their as well. "Hey Rin, Hey Jun" they nodded in greeting to the ghoul, he had always been courteous to them on the rare occasions they visited the base. They tried to return the favor.
They didn't have to wait long. the doors opened and Ayato stood their with a bruised and bloodied captive next to him, a young male "Tatara I brought him"
"Yes, come here" He motioned for the captive to approach. the poor soul started walking up the aisle towards Tatara.
Silven sniffed the air, the captive definitely wasnt a human he would have smelled that within two hundred yards of here, but he just smelled...off, like a female ghoul.
Ayato walked along the wall over to them and half-sat crouching next to the wall, his hands on his knees, looking bored.
Ayato was the most sane of the Aogiri hierarchy.
Most of Silvens interactions with the Aogiri leadership was through Ayato, which was fortunate because Silven rather liked him, at least Ayato was much less likely to rip Silvens head off.
Extremely young, he was about fifteen. He had bluish black hair and always wore black goth clothes and a blue scarf, he had a constant bored look on his face
Silven, having fought alongside him on many occasions knew that his Kagune was a Ukaku Kagune,shining feather, a set of wings that looked like shimmering red energy.
His wings were capable of propelling him at a damn astronomical speed, and could crystallize and shoot deadly crystal shards.
From the Briefing he knew that Ayato had personally led a mission to the normally peaceful twentieth ward in search of a female ghoul named Rize, why they had returned with this boy he had no idea.
Silven leaned over to Banjou and whispered.
"Banjou, who is that?" He responded without looking at Silven "some kid named Kaneki apparently he has Rize's organs transplanted into him, I was brought along on the mission to capture him"
the boy named Kaneki walked up to the stand. Tatera stode up off his chair and looked Kaneki over.
Without warning Tatera took his hand out of his lab pocket and plunged it into Kaneki's stomach.
Silven flinched in surprise...the boy screamed in pain
He darted his hand out from under his coat and gave Lana's Hand a quick squeeze for comfort with everyone's eyes were focused on the stage, she squeezed back.
The boy cried out in pain and doubled over, his eyes activated, but only one was black
That's not possible! Silven stared in amazement.
Tatara didn't look surprised "Its true, Rize was killed then" he turned to Ayato "I don't need this guy get rid of him"
Ayato raised an eyebrow "Understood"
The rest of the meeting was a blur as Silven though about their next move.
Kanike was escorted to a cell by Yamori, Silven felt pity for him The boy named Kaneki's life was going to be absolute hell from this day forward.
After the meeting Ayato called them over.
I need you two for an assignment.
Silven did most of the talking for them due to the simple fact that Lanas japanese sounded like that of a five year old.
"Who are we killing this time?"
Ayato gave a rare smile, "That's the spirit, its some doves poking around in the neighboring wards, it looks like their trying to root out who we planted to spy on them"
"Here's their pictures along with some other tools you may need, also this is the street address they were last seen on"
"I want you two to kill them, their are three of them all rank 1" this is our chance, a golden opportunity Silven though excitedly
"It will be done sir" Ayato nodded and then after a long pause he said "you've been valuable assets to me Rin and Jun, It's been a pleasure serving with you"
Silvens eyes narrowed under his mask, what does he know, where is this coming from? we have been so careful, we never show their faces, they don't even know our real names Damnit!, Will he stop us?
I have to tread carefully "Um, yes sir we feel the same way"
With a nod Ayato walked away to go talk to Tatara. Silven switched to English knowing that no one here could speak the language and whispered to Lana.
"I think he knows, did you see the way he was talking like it was the last time he would ever see us"
Lana replied under her breath with barely a murmur "I caught that to, we can't stop now though we have to move on with the plan."
On their way out Silven pulled two Aogiri soldiers aside, he purposely picked a male and a female.
"You two, come with us we need you on a mission. Meet us outside. You Have ten minutes to prepare, General Ayato's orders" the were in no position to object
Once the two ghouls came outside they set off towards the district boundaries.
Silven didn't try to learn their names, they didn't matter.
"We're going to kill some ghoul investigators. you two will serve as back up, just let me and Rin handle this" he jerked his head towards Lana.
They Ran across the streets at speeds inhumanly possible going up to fifty miles an hour, he could sprint at speeds that went up to and over one hundred mph, though it put a tremendous strain on him and he had to build up speed over a long strip of land.
Going at that speed they arrived at their destination in minutes. They had to wait an extra minute for the grunts to catch up with them.
The district border was heavily guarded, both by the CCG and by the Japanese military.
They had erected Fifty foot high walls with barbed wire surrounding the top. Watch towers were placed at regular intervals, fifty caliber turrets were mounted on each tower
Silven scoffed, don't they know our skin is bulletproof, though Q bullets could cause a problem.
Though the Fortifications were impressive, they were meant to hold off a large scale invasion, there was no way they could stop four quiet ghouls from getting through, Silven and Lana had run the blockade countless times.
Through here he motioned the two soldiers into a storm drain, he took the cover off and jumped down into the darkness.
The sewer smelled foul, it smelled even worse thanks to his enhanced sense of smell, but the darkness was no problem, his ghoul eyes could see as if it where the middle of the day
Silven pulled out his phone and activated his GPS hmm I've still got service down here, that's surprising.
He set in the coordinates and they made their way down into the sewer.
They walked about a mile twisting and turning through the complex sewers, before they got to a grate with two Inch bars baring their way sunlight was shining faintly from the other side.
"This is it, we get out here" Silven griped two solid two inch thick steel bars and bent them open as easy as a human could crush a tin can.
They slipped out of the grate, careful that no one saw them.
They were in a dark back alley it was rather narrow and made Silven feel claustrophobic.
The smell of humans here was still so thick that it made Silven salivate.
It was the middle of the day they should still be working right now. Normally I prefer a more subtle approach but were in a hurry, Reynas waiting
They looked around, it was a rather ghetto part of the city, some of the buildings where falling apart and others looked abandoned.
"Lets get to a better view" they must be around here.
their was a fifteen story shabby brick apartment building nearby with a rickety old fire escape on the side.
that's a good as place as any
Silven jumped up ten feet and landed on the bottom of the fire escape.
He lossed the lader and it slid to the ground. The loud clanging made him cringe. The rest of his companions climbed up. They double timed up the stairs praying that no one saw them.
Once they got to the top of the fire escape they pulled themselves onto the roof. Silven crouched down and unzipped the backpack Ayato gave them.
He took out the profiles of the doves they were hunting and passed them around, he also pulled out a pair of high powered binoculars.
While the rest of them went through the backpack and memorized the doves faces he scanned the crowded street below them with the binoculars, nothing.
They stayed their until dusk, the crowds started to thin out Silven or Lana scanned the street, they took turns about every five minutes.
Inside the backpack there was about two pounds of flesh packed, Silven and Lana ate. As Silven bit into the flesh his eyes turned black, he almost screamed in complete ecstasy.
There was no way to describe the feeling, the flesh put any steak to shame it tasted thousands of times more succulent, not that Silven would know all meat tasted spoiled and bitter to him.
He felt new strength course through his body, His muscles tensed up, his heart raced, his senses sharpened, He could tell by Lana's body language that it had the same affect on her.
At nine o'clock something caught his attention, three men in Gray suits with identical silver briefcases where walking along with the crowd.
"Guys bring those pictures over here!, some check this out" Silven called out with the binoculars still pressed against his eyes.
What luck!, I was expecting to be camped out up here for at least a day! he double checked, it was definitely them.
They watched them go into a building, he looked closer, it was a bank.
"Should we go in after them?" Lana inquired, Silven shook his head "No, the less humans that see us the better, we just wait now"
And so they waited, The ghoul investigators, slowly went from shop to shop spending about twenty minutes in each one, probably questioning the shop owners.
Silven checked his Iphone, it had just turned eleven, he surveyed the street, It was almost abandoned.
Ever since ghoul attacks had become widespread, people didn't like to leave their houses at night.
Some of the braver or crazier risked it, but not many where willing to take that risk, currently their was five people still out plus the three doves.
"Ok get ready, we go on my signal" Silven flexed his Kakuhou organ and his Kagune burst out of his skin from the lower back, he felt a small amount of pain but it quickly faded.
His Kagune was an exceptionally powerful Bikaku type, it took the form of eight foot long flexible tail with a razor sharp foot-long curved blade at the end, (imagine a black Xenomorph tail veined with red ) In addition Silven had evolved a special ability that few creatures had ever lived to tell of.
Silven flexed and curled his tail enjoying the feeling of power it gave him, out of the corner of his eye he saw Lanas seven foot long legs burst out of her skin, he also saw the two ghouls that had come with them activate their small blue arm blades.
"Ok, lets go" Silven hurled himself of the building and plummeted towards the street below, he stretched out his tail and dragged it across the side of the building to slow his fall.
Bricks and mortar got torn away from the wall by silvens tail, he looked up and saw a giant black gash he had cut in the building.
Lana free fell towards the street bellow, her arms and legs splayed out spread eagle, she let out a maniacal laugh of exhilaration as she fell. She landed on her Kagune, cracking the pavement blow, she floated above the ground her spider legs suspending her, she really did look like a giant, elegant, deadly spider.
Silven pushed of the wall when he got within ten feet of the ground, he landed next to Lana near the doves, his tail was arched over his head poised to strike with lightning like speeds, he raised his fists in a Tokyo street fighting style he had picked up. The human bystanders started screaming and pointing.
The Doves got over their shock one started shouted at the screaming people, "GET OUT OF HERE! RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!"
Silven's enhanced hearing caught What the doves were saying to each other.
The youngest one was panicking "SHIT! isnt that the Manticore and the Wolfspider ghouls, their S ranked!" the one that looked like their leader replied "Son't worry, I know this is your first time against an S ghoul but i've handled them before i'll protect you."
Silven and Lana had actually gotten nicknames from the CCG, most ghouls got them that where above A rank, code names were oftain based off their masks or of their Kagunes.
Silven had gotten his name based of the mythical Manticore, a half lion, half scorpion.
Lana had obviously gotten hers of of her spider legs paired with her Ferocious wolf mask
The people obliged and ran away screaming for help, then it was just the seven of them, four ghouls and three doves.
The three doves pushed a button on the top of their briefcases their brief cases opened and their quinques unraveled.
Quinques where humanity's greatest weapons against ghouls, they where made out of the Kagunes of dead ghouls.
They could puncture ghoul skin as well as harm Kagunes, they were an abomination in Silvens opinion.
The three Queues consisted of a whip a sword and a cylindrical club, they were attached to handles that sent out electrical signals similar to those that ghouls used to control their Kagunes
Silven and Lana made the first move by lunging at the doves, Silven attacked the one with the sword, he was an young man with brown hair, Silven felt his eyes turn black as he went into a bloodlust, jabbing at the Doves face with lightning speed.
With no time to spare the dove raised his sword and just barely deflected the razor sharp tail.
He's far too slow, and he knows it. Silven could see the panic start to spread across the mans face.
Silvens fighting style made use of his Kagune mixed in with punches and kicks, many ghouls and humans seemed to forget how strong they where even without their Kagunes. It was an extremely effective due to the fact that it caught even veterans by surprise. Most focused so much on his tail that the allowed his bone shattering punches to connect.
Silven lept to the left side, punched at his head, then almost instantly he was attacking from his opponents back, leaping and easily dodging the attacks coming at him. His tail also worked as an excellent tool for balance and performing acrobatics midair.
Time to finish this The man lunged at him "Die Monster!, you have no place in this world!"
Silven side stepped and plunged his tail deep into his chest, through his heart, and out his back, the dove dropped his Quinque and it clattered to the street.
The young human stopped fighting, his body going into shock.
Silven Brought his tail up to his face, the Man impaled upon the blade.
Silven peeled off his mask and looked in the eyes of the dying human, respecting him enough to let him see the face of the ghoul who just killed him.
"I win" he calmly gloated with a smile.
He pulled his mask back onto his face and flicked His tail, the now dead dove went sliding twenty feet.
He watched the fight, Lana was handling the leader, they looked about evenly matched. Silven suddenly felt respect for the dove, not just anyone could go toe to toe with Lana for more then a few seconds.
The other two ghouls were fighting the third dove, they looked clumsy and uncoordinated, obviously losing the fight.
Just as Silven was about to help the two ghouls and quickly finish off their opponent, the leader dove saw his dead comrade.
"No!" he gnashed his teeth, "Fall back!, get to the bank!" he called to the third one, he grabbed a silver can from his belt and tossed it at his feet
White gas started to steam out as the doves fled to the now deserted bank.
shit that's CR gas!
He tackled Lana, and dragged her away from the cloud, "Don't breathe the gas!"
I overheard Ayato talking about a new airborne weapon the doves were developing it neutralizes Kagune temporary , I didn't think it would be ready yet!
The Male and female ghouls started to cough, their blue arm blades turned grey before their eyes then they crumbled to dust. "Thanks" Lana looked visibly shaken by what she just saw
"You two stay there we'll handle it!" They ran into the bank the doves had went into.
The door was locked so Lana simply kicked it of the hinges.
A giant round bank vault door slammed shut, on the opposite end of the room
"Fucking Cowards!" Lana screamed, "they're going to lock themselves in their and wait for backup to arrive, they know that were stronger"
Silven remained silent, trying to think of a way to get the vault open.
"Fuck it! this isn't happening" she walked over to the vault.
Silven gazed at the door as a sence of hopelessness set over him.
"Fuck!" she pounded her fist at the door with no effect.
Silven slumped to the ground trying to think of a way into the bank vault.
Lana's kagune flexed in her back. She tuned twords the door with a ferocious look in her eyes.
Her legs raised in preparation to attack the first strike sounded like a cannon firing BOOM! then the second strike BOOM! the third BOOM!
Silven stared in amazement the three foot thick reinforced solid steel door was being dented by Lanas Attacks.
"Lana keep doing that, it's working!"
The raw power Lanas Kagune possessed never ceased to amaze him, the strikes picked ujp in tempo until it sounded like it was hailing canon balls.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM the battered steel doors started to cave Lana snarled as she put all of her strength into pulling the door off its hinges. The mettle bent noisily and then gave-way, Lana was the first through the door, Silven lept in second.
the doves stood in a corner ready for them, they looked dumbstruck that they made it through the door.
Lana leapt at the terrified leader with an unrestrained fury, she fought with her Kagune as well as clawing and biting, Silven engaged the Dove with the giant club.
The man fought like only cornered animal was capable of.
Silven parried a powerful swing inches from his face.
Shit this guys strong, normanly ghouls where hundreds of times stronger than humans, but Quiques had a mind of their own and a seemed to jerk themselves up to block just in time, they acted just like ghoul Kagune.
The other dove somehow was able to tackle Lana out of the bank. Lanas trashing legs flattened several teller stalls and collapsed a support pillar.
Silven feinted punched at his opponents head and also jabbed his tail at the doves thigh.
The dove deflected both with his quinque and escaped with only a scratc.
Thats all I needed
The dove recovered way to quick and got the jump on him and hit Silven squarely in the chest, silven was hurled ten feet and would have went further but was stopped short by a solid marble desk.
the marble cracked and crumbled from the force of the impact, much of the bank had already been destroyed im the intense fighting
Ah god, I think I broke some ribs Silven tried to get up but cried out in pain as his wrist sent pain lancing up his arm and fell back.
The dove advanced, blood streeming from his face and his club dragging behind him.
Ten, Nine Eight, Seven, Six, Silvens ribs started to weave back together, he started getting up again.
The dove slowed down, then stumbled.
Five, Four, "what... what did you do!"he started to twitch, he glared hatefully at Silven.
Silven raised his tail, "my Kagune secretes a special type of neurotoxin, my entire tail is coated in it, small doses cause paralysis, in large doses it will cause your brain to liquidate. it takes about ten seconds to take effect. And your time is up"
The man gave a gurgle and fell facedown onto the marble floor, a line of blood trickled from his ear.
Lana was just finishing off her opponent, her mask had been ripped off and Silven could see her face contorted in fury. She trapped his whip-like Quinque against the ground with her legs and lunged forward.
Her powerful teeth clamped around his neck and with a yank she ripped out his throat.
Blood shot everywhere.
And like that the fight was over, Silven and Lana were sweaty and breathing heavily.
After a while Lana Sighed "Let's get this over with" she walked over and picked up the whip, Silven took the club and they both walked outside.
The two ghoul grunts were standing outside waiting for them. They had removed their masks and where nursing their wounds.
They walked up to them. Silven wouldn't enjoy doing this, he looked them in the face "I...I'm sorry"
He swung the club and instantly killed the female ghoul, The other one only had time to look surprised before Lana used the razor sharp whip to rip open the males chest. They died quickly and painlessly
I did that for my sister Silven told himself but it didn't make him feel much better
Lana and Silven took of their Robes and masks and put them on the ghouls they just killed, the lion mask for the ghoul and the wolf mask on the female.
They had to use Quinques to kill the two, they had to make it look like doves had killed them, the humans would assume that other ghouls had come and killed the doves then slipped away, Ayato would probably assume that the doves killed them, Then Silvens poison killed the doves.
It was a flawless plan.
They had worn normal sweatshirts and pants under their robes for this occasion, now they would just slip away like shadows with both ghoul and human believing they were dead.
"Its done, now lets destroy the security tapes" They went into the vault and smashed both the security cameras and the computers, "You know Silven, this is a lot of free money lying around" Lana flashed him a mischievous smile "toss me that backpack.
She filled it up to the brim with sixty million yen (about five hundred thousand US dollars)
From their they would set off to get Reyna, then would walk to an airport posing as humans and board a plane, their destination was a tiny town in Washington named Forks, finally they could live a peaceful, boring life (or so they thought)
Hope you liked it!.
