Chapter 2: Collapse

"What in the heck?" Rentarou said in shock.

Sora, Rentarou and the rest of them ran towards Monolith #13. They stopped when they saw it. A Stage 5 Gastrea had knocked down, and destroyed Monolith #13. "Crap. A Stage 5 Gastrea." Sora said. "I-is this the end?" Enju asked in shock. "No. We have to defend hummanity from the Gastrea." Kuroha replied. "Just take a look at the Monoliths! They have turned white!" Rentarou exclaimed. "Zodiac Gastrea: Crab." Aka spoke.

Monolith #12 collapsed as soon as Aka spoke. Enju, Rentarou, Sora, and Kuroha turned around and ran as fast as they could. Enju covered her ears. She couldn't listen to the screams of the public or the collapsing of the Monoliths. Aka closed her eyes. They heard the sound of insects. A huge swarm of insects.

An endless swarm of Gastrea.

"Rentarou, your too slow!" Kuroha shouted at Rentarou, who was behind them. "Aka, your the strongest and the fastest one here! Carry Rentarou!" Sora ordered his daughter, who was far in front of them. Aka nodded and slowed down. Once she was beside Rentarou, she picked him up and put him on her shoulders. She ran as fast as she could now. Which was fast enough to be between Kuroha and Enju. Kuroha at her left. Enju at her right. More Monoliths collapsed. The public ran as fast as they could. A man in black apeared beside Sora. "Master Danzo, why are the Monoliths collapsing!?" Sora asked the man. "Because Crab can destroy multiple things in a chain!" Danzo replied.

"CRAP!" Sora shouted as Monolith #2 began to collapse. It was right above them, falling down. "Hoooooooooold oooooooooooon!" Kuroha shouted as she grabbed Sora and Aka. Aka grabbed Enju, and Sora grabbed Danzo. All at once, Kuroha, Sora, and Aka pulled them in. Kuroha began glowing red, and a crimson ball formed around them then, the ball disapeared. And so did they.

In the heart of the Tokyo area, with Seitenshi...

Seitenshi sat in the usual chair she sits in. Her bodyguards around her. A crimson light flashed. When the light faded, Sora, Kuroha, Aka, Rentarou, and Enju were on the ground at Seitenshi's feet. "Well, that went smoothly." Kuroha said, as she rubbed the back of her neck. "We're here, as you requested, my dear Seitenshi." Danzo spoke. "How did we get here?" Rentarou questioned.

"It's one of mother's powers." Aka explained. "The Monoliths have collapsed, Seitenshi." Sora announced.

Seitenshi suspiciously calm.
