The three ghouls were thrown into the large white room viciously like carcases thrown to a tiger and as if the tiger hasn't been fed in weeks, the door was shut quickly. One ghoul had shortly cropped black hair, female, eyes black and cold as frozen coal. They let her keep her dark clothes, she was disguised as a lawyer when they discovered her eating the carcass of her client in the judging room. The other, her brother, he was some poor bum who lived in her apartment, thin as most ghouls were. Even with his good size he was no more than just a bum in and out, his eyes were red, but not in a ghoul way and he had a mess of hair that must have been made of some type of bear or something. The last was her boyfriend, someone who wasn't that easy to catch. They did catch him though, on the street with very few people. One officer died in that capture, it was sad for Raddy for he was friends with that officer.
Him, like many others were watching through a thick glass, knew what was going on and why the ghouls were in that room. The ghouls on the other hand didn't know why they were in there sure, they were talking and whispering. The boyfriend had his Kagune out showing he was a Ukaku, but his kagune was a strange orange color with four eyes on the skin like covered wings.
"What will happen to them. I don't get the idea of what will happen", the new guy whispered. It seemed like only yesterday the nervous wreck of a kid showed up for a job in their company, now he was still a nervous wreck and in with the elite classes, able to see the most classified object in their possession. There were rumors how he got up so fast, bad ones and good ones, but Raddy didn't believe rumors. There was no way this kid could have gotten to the top that fast, he was a coward, a horrid fighter and didn't know how to use a simple quinque that didn't twist its form. In fact Raddy didn't know how he was still alive.
He was extremely short compared to all the tall, well built men who killed to the top. He had a small head of black hair, mixed racial eyes, and looked like a relative to Mr. Snee from Peter Pan. Annabeth used to love that cartoon, but she had always been jealous of Wendy. He even had the tiny Snee glasses that looked like they were ruined all the time and it was the only pair he would ever have even though they knew he came from a rich family.
"Ah shut up you fat bum", Raddy's friend, Uzaki, said. He hated the newcomer, it took him three months to reach the top. For Uzaki it took eight years of being a good officer to find out what Percy was and why they kept him so secret. He did and he never treated the poor boy the same way again. Not only that, but their best friend died. He used to sit and talk whenever they were off of work. They shared pictures, talked about Percy's progress, and was just a great friend. Shame he died catching that ghoul, trying to protect that little fat man who stood there staring at the three ghouls in the pen. The two now hated him for being a coward and curling up in a ball when attacked by a ghoul.
Suddenly one of the walls was moving, a door that was being pulled upward very slowly. Behind it was a dark room, pitch black with only a faint glow. In the darkness there was a green outline that pulsed like blood, blood running over three long tails that curled over and hung in a triangular shape. The ends of them were crescents like whale tails, three of them. In the center of them a single crimson eye. Blood pulsed to glowing red veins surrounding it and the pupil was shrunken with anger.
A grey haired man walked into the arena with his quinque at the ready in case of an attack from the three ghouls. They looked at him questioningly, the girlfriend in her boyfriend's arms and the brother standing with his kagune ready for an attack. He was another Ukaku, but he was a little tall and unhealthy looking to hold much of a threat to the old human.
He raised his right hand, the empty one upward like used in the military to fire cannons. The ghouls stared at him and looked back at the dark room, most likely wondering who was more dangerous, the human or the beast in the dark room. The hand levitated in the air a while, wrinkled and cracked, more than they used to be.
He let his hand drop as if doing karate. The hand stopped aligning with his hips when there was a green flash. Blood splattered everywhere and the brother went down in a fleshy corpse. On his opposite side was a thing more terrifying than any ghoul. Sure it was a ghoul itself, but it was more monstrous than ghouls. His hair was black, his skin so pale they matched the unstained walls. One eye looked normal, green and wide with no light in it, but the other side, the crimson and black ghoul eye seemed wide and angry. It held the essence of a monster worse than any ghoul, not insanity, not fear, but something soulless and cold. Veins sprouted at the side of the eye and seemed to web across his entire face, more than any ghoul there was out there. He wore nothing, but white clothing that didn't even stain from the splashing blood.
He slid to a stop facing the other direction, the pulsing green arms resetting to their original position, two at his left and right and one over his head like a scorpion. As soon as he had footing he jumped at the boyfriend. The Ukaku male flared out and shot a barrage of red crystals right at the attacker. The opposing ghoul dodged the spikes as if possessed by water, gliding smoothly closer to the Ukaku. The two Ukakus ran in two different directions, fast enough to escape the two side kagune. The ghoul ran into the wall and immediately jumped off, launching himself at the running boyfriend whose head came off easily as if it was made from jelly. The girlfriend shrieked in horror and backed into a corner, trying to make herself as least visible as possible. More blood stained the floor as the attacking ghoul skidded to a stop looking at the body to see if it was still moving. The body swayed and fell to its knees and slumped over as if sad to find its head missing. Just to be sure the ghoul used his kagune to rip apart the rest of the body.
Raddy looked at his side to find the short man adjusting something on his coat and looking extremely worried. He was pale and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. His teeth chattered and he was staring at the green ghoul in utter horror. Raddy's friend looked as though he was enjoying himself watching the new guy's horror.
A drop of blood fell on top of his shoulder and his normal eye glanced at it. His head slowly turned to look at it and he spotted the last living ghoul curled up in a corner. It was as if he was a zombie as his body followed the turn of his head and it jumped at her. Raddy could see her eyes growing wide before there was a mass explosion of blood all over the white walls. The ghoul's kagune rose again dripping with blood in its default position. The two side limbs hovered, slanted near the floor, but still as if dead.
Raddy heard his comrades clap at the end of it, some sincere and some serious and only applauding for a job well done. Raddy clapped too just to be polite, but he didn't enjoy watching the ordeal, there was only one thing he wanted back out of it though. The coach turned to the crowd and bowed to the crowd for the weapon had successfully broken his record of killing three ghouls and these weren't the weakest he had faced. The ghoul went to the center of the room to stand and wait for the next command, all kagune in default form, his back straight, and his hands behind his back like a private to his officer. The kakugan wasn't raging furious anymore, it was calm and simple, leaving him with one dead green colored eye and a demonic black on with a red pupil. He looked fairly relaxed, but ready to attack with a wave of a hand, a click of a finger or an intentional pin drop. The coach didn't acknowledge him, only walked out and left the ghoul standing there surrounded by blood and dead bodies. He could have been a statue due to his complexion and the deadness in his eyes, but the faint sight of his chest rising and falling and the pulse in his kagune suggested he was alive. Raddy sighed and dodged his way from leaving people to the door of the large room. He dialed a code on a small device and the door clicked open. One push sent the door swinging open and Raddy could see a view of the ghoul from the side. The demeanor didn't change in the slightest bit to acknowledge Raddy was there. Raddy didn't try using hand singnals or simple dog commands with him, he thought it was impolite. He only said one word. "Percy".
A shudder ran down the ghoul's body and the green kagune immediately dropped behind him and only the tips curled upward on the ground. He seemed to become more lifelike and his skin glowed a little more. His eyes snapped open a little wider and his face looked completely dubious as if a chunk was pulled out of his life and he was shocked at where it went. His hands fell and his muscles relaxed and if he didn't have three glowing limbs coming out of a spot above his tailbone and his eye was black and red he would have been a normal human. He turned to Raddy's voice and smiled, his one green eye, once a monstrous green, glittered like an ocean filled with dolphins beneath the surface.
"Raddy", he said happily and ran over to give the man a big hug. Raddy embraced the ghoul happily as usual with a smile of relief on his face. The men around them flinched and backed away a bit, seeing what the ghoul could do at any minute if commanded and what he had to do if any of the officers tried to betray the secret of his existence. Raddy on the other hand didn't care, this ghoul was like a son to him and had been for six years. There was no amount of humans and ghouls to make him stop loving Percy.
"Hey Perce, are you ready to go back now".
"Sure".
A short man shrouded in a black hoodie nervously walking through the street, his expensive shoes clacking against the torn up pavement. The small messy part of town in the thirteenth ward was a mess. It was dripping with paranoia and most of the residents were dead, other than a bunch of mean looking residences that lived in giant packs. Most of the buildings were so close there could have been no walls between them and all of the windows were boarded up. Rags and newspapers fluttered by the empty streets. The cars parked were all stolen and driven illegally.
It was an awful neighborhood to live in, especially since the rumors that it was overrun with ghouls that eat all the residence, the remaining were only ghouls. I used to be a good side before and it went to the dirt because of the. All the rumors were true.
The man suddenly dove into an old five story diner with a worn out sign, the door once being glass, but now only boards. Inside the diner looked like the outside, it was first a bar, completely empty with a mean looking man with scars all over his face and arms. He had tattoos of skulls everywhere on his body and teeth sharpened like a shark's. His hair was dyed red where there was some left. One of his eyes was missing today, with scar tissue still red. He was probably attacked this morning which wasn't unusual, ghouls around the area were angry and roudy for blood. They were all the worst of the worst, the problem was that their leader was smart and well put together, that kid scared everyone and he had a plan.
The man removed his hood, revealing a fat face and nervous blue eyes. He was short and kind of looked like Mr. Snee. "Um, I am here to speak to your leader", he said, trying to be brave. His fat legs were shaking ending in his fancy shoes.
The man at the counter just nodded at a flight of stairs and went back to doing what he was doing before. "Fourth floor, TV room".
The man gulped and began walking, trying to ignore the feeling he was being watched. He hated that feeling, but it was there all the time, it would be terrifying for anyone to be in his situation, he tried to look brave, but he knew it would only make him look stupid. No matter where he went in the rugged town he felt like a mouse under the gaze of an owl or a horse forced to walk through a pack of wolves that sat atop cliffs and stared down hungrily from above.
There was a skittering behind him an a flash of a shadow, he swore he saw the glowing eyes of a ghoul in that shadow and the hairs on the back of his neck prickled. They were there and watching him, they were hungary. This was a bad sign. If they got too hungry they might attack him or worse.
It seemed like hours until he got to the fourth floor TV room. It was once a fancy part of the restaurant with cherry tree tables and fine tablecloths. However all of it was ripped, torn, stained with blood, shattered, and thrown. Now it looked like something out of a horror game. The red velvet walls were torn, the floor was stained with all sorts of nasty things. The large windows were boarded so it was completely dark. He hated this room, what he saw in it and what he knew happened here when the ghouls got too roudy.
The TV room used to be for really fancy customers who wanted to watch their TV shows on the finest screens. One wall was made up of TVs, the other sat a set of really comfortable chairs and a fancy table with gold lining. It usually had first class waiting and the finest computers inside for rich kids to game on. Now the chairs were gone, replaced by a single one fancy recliner. The table was bloodstained and cracked, the gold trim sold for extra cash. The walls were even bloodier than any place else, but the TVs and computers were intact, blood always cleaned off. The windows were boarded for privacy.
The man opened the door and stepped inside, looking around. The screens were white and there was several people inside. Two standing at the arms of a recliner, two in the corner who were important, one in the recliner, and one hanging off the wall from chains.
"Daddy", the little girl yelled from the wall. Her mother was japanese so she looked part Asian even though her father was from America. She was smudged with blood, pale, and looked like she hadn't slept in a long time. Here once adorable pigtails were now ratty and falling apart. She was skinny and she had no clothes, some of these ghouls were creeps about little girls.
"Sachi", the man whispered longingly, he hadn't seen his daughter in months and he missed her. Hopefully this would be the end of it.
"Well well well, look who's back", a voice said from the recliner. The man moved nervously closer, clutching a small chip in his hand. "Have what I want"?
The chair swiveled around revealing a teenager. His hair was black as the shadows in the room and his eyes were brown and like the deepest pits of hell. His skin used to be a healthy shade of olive, but now it was sickly pale like the ghosts he brought into the world with his violence. He wore black jeans and black shirts and always walked around with an aviator jacket and jewelry that had bones and skulls on it. He wore a ring with a skull on it that ended in a sharp claw.
The man was trembling head to toe, knowing what this guy did to anybody. He was the astounding leader of an army of ghouls that often went out on raids and even breached the biggest ghoul holding prison in the world. He was not the least bit merciful and one killed someone with his pinky finger just because they wouldn't kill someone for him. He was smart and sadistic and was impossible to kill. He was an Ukaku, a type of ghoul that is fast, but grows tired easily so most of the time they were down under, but he was different. The man knew he specialized in defense and would do it with a sadistic smile, but when he was on offence you'd better hope you aren't in his line of vision. He was also good at not getting caught, every time someone wants to bring him down and you'd think he is cornered, but he would disappear as if in the shadows.
The man handed one of his guards a little video chip and the guard took it and walked over to the computer. He plugged it in and clicked a few things and the video popped up on screen.
It was a bunch of humans swarming a window looking at three ukakus who were nervously looking around with an old man at the side with his hand in the air. The guard pressed play and he had to watch that horrific scene where a half ghoul came out of a dark room and soullessly slaughtered all three ukakus in record time.
The man looked at his daughter who was crying and her eyes closed and looking at the opposite walls. The ghouls in the room looked shocked and scared at the video. The leader's eye was red and glowing, something no one usually saw. For ghouls it meant they were hungry, but he always had complete control over his kakugan, for it to be glowing was either good for the man or bad for the world.
"This is their secret weapon? It's a ghoul. Nico Sempai what do we do"? Asked one of the ghouls in the corner.
"Little human. Give me more information about this ghoul, how long has he been there? What is his history"?
"Um. They call him Percy. According to his files his mother is the Blue Lily, a ghoul that was originally sighted in New York, America. His sire is unknown. His age is fourteen and his weight is one hundred and twenty pounds. His ghoul type is a halfbreed Bikaku. He has been raised in secret in the facility and they feed him cloned flesh from the officer who takes care of him. I have seen him before and he is very gentle to humans and takes their every command even if it means the end of the world. He is against ghouls".
"Interesting. The humans want to use our own species against us. I see how we can move around this", Nico said. He got up and stared at the final image of the ghoul.
"Do we kill him", said a ghoul in the back, cracking his knuckles and licking his lips.
"No. It isn't his fault. He doesn't have to die for being raised by humans and listening to them. There is a way we can help him".
"H-help him", the man said on the ground shaking.
Nico turned to him, staring at the man with only one kakugan, just like the monster the "Death From Above Co" created. Only his eyes held mischief and a mischief that would probably end a lot of human lives. A wide smile dawned his face. The ghoul started to move, his huge combat boots landing heavily on the ground with each step. The man panicked and backed all the way to the other side of the room.
"Now Sheldon. I have one more task for you to complete", he said menacingly.
"B-but you said this was the last, we had a deal", Sheldon said angrily, but backed closer into the wall as his kakugan flared to a wider size along with his normal eye so he looked insane.
"I said 'if you do what I say, I will release you and your daughter'. I didn't say this was the last task. Just one more task for me and you and your daughter can leave and go somewhere without ghouls, like iceland, nobody wants to live there. I would rather pluck my eyes out for the rest of my life than go in that cold, isolated place where I can be easily discovered".
"Wh-what do you want me to do"? Sheldon stuttered
"I want you to give the Death From Above Co the location of this room".
