M-21 POV

I just watched Takeo storm out. That guy seemed to be the most human among these monsters.
Crans voice rang out around the room.
"Shark, why did you bring the kids here instead of getting rid of them"
"They may be of use"

Crans turned his attention from the Regis to me.
"M-21"
"What's your relation with this guy"
"You keep making me repeat myself. You asked me before, remember? I already told you to get me the appropriate information if you want something from me"

That seemed to make Shark smile this time.
"You did say that. Then we can just ask theses kids what your relationship is…"

I tried to keep my expression blank even as I could hear the sounds of the kids waking up.

"The kids are starting to wake up"
Why did they have to wake up now. I haven't had time to plan what to do when they see me. I turned not wanting to see their reaction to waking up in this place.
"Hey, you students are awake now"

Even from here I could feel Shinwoo's aura start to flow through the room"
"What a nice country. They eat and live so well, so the boys and girls look so good. Especially the girls"
"HEY"
I almost groaned. Why did Shinwoo have to be so hot headed?

"Who are you"
Yuna asked as if trying to keep the situation calm.
"Why did you bring us here?"
"OH, you even have a nice voice"

"REGIS, HE'S HURT"
I could tell that Ikhan was starting to panic.
"REGIS, WAKE UP. Why are you wearing handcuffs"
"How noisy… he's unconscious not dead, so shut up"

Ikhan's eyes then narrowed in on Tao.
"Bro? It's you right"
I could hear the uncertainty in Ikhan's voice, like he wished it wasn't true.
"I didn't think we'd meet again so soon"

Sharks laughter rang around the room.
"DID YOU HEAR THAT? HE CALLED TAO BRO"

Didn't shark just call the children noisy and now he was being just as loud.

"Tao? Is that your name"
"Yes"
"What's going on? Why are we here?"

Before Tao could answer Sui spoke up.
"Ikhan, you know him?"
"I met him once before"
"What's a person you know doing here? They're the ones who brought here, right"

It was sharks turn to but in. Couldn't he just shut up.
"I brought you here. I've gone through quite a bit of trouble since there are so many of you"

Shinwoo let out a growl as his aura grow. He had obviously had enough of everything. I almost let out a sigh. The kid needed to learn how to keep a level head.
"Why the hell did you bring us here?"

I didn't see what happened next but I heard Shinwoo hit the ground thanks to something shark did. I almost turned around but I managed to stop myself. I needed to keep a level head and seeing what was happening wouldn't help.

"You little shit. Why should I tell you?"

"STOP IT!"
"PLEASE STOP!"

"It's loud"
About time the Regis was awake. I hoped he would play along with whatever happened.

"I can't even sleep properly because it's so noisy"
"You woke up faster than expected. Maybe it's because you're a Noblesse that your recovered so quickly"
"This isn't worth making a fuss over, but more importantly I suggest you move that foot. Do you really want to harass powerless children like that?"
"He was out of line and I was just teaching him a lesson"

I heard shark move off Shinwoo and head back towards us.
"Good . now that you're awake, let me ask you some questions… M-21"

Damn this really can't be delayed any longer. I made sure to keep my face blank as I turned to look at them.

"MISTER!"
"So the kids also know M-21. It's so absurd that I'm speechless"

"Mister"
"What are you doing here?"
"We were worried because we haven't seen you around…"

Why did they have to speak? They are just making this situation more difficult with all these questions.

"PLEASE SAY SOMETHING. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? AND WHY ARE YOU HERE?"

"Hey, those kids are asking you questions. Shouldn't you answer them. M-21 you're acquainted with so many people. So do you know these kids?"
At least he is asking me and not the children. I let myself smirk at that. if I could keep him focused on me then he might leave the children alone long enough for THEM to get here.
"Know them? Well I have seen them a few times but nothing special. I have no reason to hang out with such kids after all"

I didn't let there shocked faces do anything to me. I could feel sharks frustration at me.

It was then that that Hammer decided to but in.
"Shark, I'm going to the safe house to get something to eat. Don't be to quick with everything"
"That's fine. Come back quickly"

I was thankful when Shark ignored the children and turned his gaze on Regis.
"Hey, brat. Do you know each other? You two seem to know each other but he's not talking"
"Sure. We don't know each other. So there's nothing he could have told you"
"Oh no. You've gone and blurted that out. That was an important piece of information"

"Its rare to see a Noblesse but you say there's no connection at all?"
"Then do you want us to make a connection up"
"I encountered him by chance while on the job I've assumed. That applies to those kids too"
"Is that so? No connection at all"

Sharks smirk turned from controlled to one of unhinged as he looked to the children.
"Then does that mean we have no use for those children anymore"
Shit. I said too much.

"Since things turned out this way. Those kids are useless. Isn't that right? I was going to use those kids to find out about your relationship, but now all of that is pointless. So I may as well get rid of them"

What the hell am I going to do now? Even if I attack them I would be almost as helpless as the children. Before I could think of what to do Tao spoke up.
"Shark, wait a second. If they're not needed anymore, do we really need to kill them? We can erase their memory with the pills we have"
"Tao, You are normally so in control with those instincts of yours. Don't tell me you've gone all clucky"

Tao ignored Sharks comment like he was use to it
"Crans, what do you think? That's why they gave it to us"
"Not allowed"
"CRANS"
"We don't leave risks behind"

"Alright then. Now that it's decided, let's get on with removing this annoying lump of baggage"
"You should be ashamed. Don't you know how to do anything besides harassing powerless children?"
"SHUT UP"

Sharks fist collided with Regis face. But even after that he somehow looked dignified.
"I suppose it's fitting for a guy like you. This behavior would be typical for things that have given up being human"

Shark seemed to loss it after that. I had to give it to the kid he was learning how to piss people off with words. I felt sorry for the brat but I knew as a noblesse he could take a lot more then the children and while shark was focusing on him he was leaving the children be.

"YOU FUCKEN BRAT.
He didn't let up on the brutal assault. Each sentence was sent home with another hit.
"I'LL MAKE YOU BEG FOR YOUR LIKE. BUT I WON'T KILL YOU. I WILL TAKE YOU TO THE LAB ALIVE AND PEOPLE WILL DO EXPERIMENTS ON YOU"

There was a low growl followed by Shinwoo moving towards shark. I thought for sure that shark would have no trouble dodging it or he would send Shinwoo flying but the young alpha ducked under sharks arm and punched him in the face.

Shark through Regis at him making him jump back an join the others.
"Well this is humiliating. You little shit. I'LL KILL YOU FIRST"
As shark charged I couldn't help myself when I called out.

"STOP"
The room seemed to fall suddenly quiet.
"If you let those children go, I'll tell you a piece of information"
"What?"
"Like Tao said, you can erase their memories. I can guarantee you that whit I'll tell you is worth your while"

What the hell am I thinking? This is my chance to get some of the information I need, But I'm trading it for the children? What a studied thing to do"
"So?"
I asked turning to Crans.
"I've already said it before. We don't leave risks behind"

Shark let out a laugh.
"Then let's continue. Time to pay for your actions"

I blocked out the children's screams so I could think. If I make a move it won't then most likely I won't get another chance. I'm so close. If I make another move here then my colleagues goal… My goal… will vanish. It was at the thought of my colleagues that in my mind I could see them. They looked sad. I know this is stupid but.

The children have nothing to do with me. I don't care if they die or not but I've spent some peaceful times with them and now I'm all emotional

I moved without thought, my claws forming and slicing through the arm that held Shinwoo up.

My colleagues just wait for me, I will apologies for this betrayal of mine in hell. But then they smiled at me. Why are you smiling at me?
I couldn't help but smirk as I looked back to check on the children.
"You guy don't call me mister from now on"

I turned my eyes back on Shark. He seemed to be in shock.
"He transformed. How is that even possible? He's just a low level agent"

It was only my hands nothing like the transformation I did before. But it was still more than before whatever He did to me. It would still only last a few minutes so stalling would only be bad for me. I ignored whatever shark was saying and at shark. He jumped back but as he landed I managed to land a glancing blow on this face. Hit after hit I landed but nothing a deep as my first one. But it still seemed to be taking its toll.

He fell backwards down the wall I tossed him into. This last his should get him out of the way. I aimed for his head but at the last moment he brought his dagger up. He managed to stop me just short of hitting him but I could still feel his arm tremble with the strain.

"You're getting a bit cocky. That transformation is nothing"
He brought his other dagger under my hand and pushed up making me move back.

Dam I don't have much time left.
"Crans, I can't tolerate this anymore. I really need to kill that guy"

"Crans. If you let that happen, then we don't know when this mission will end"
"We can start the mission over without M-21, Tao. I can't stand DA-5 being humiliated like this. Shark I approve. Eliminate him"

Shark didn't waist any time in attacking me. I was about to dodge the slash of energy sent my way when I realized that the children were behind me. I blocked what I could of the attack but I could feel that damage it caused me. With the cloud of dust that had risen from the strike I quickly struck out at the cuffs holding Regis. I hope the brat woke up sometime soon.

Shark moved in with quick slashes to which I avoided as best I could but the damage from that blow was taking it's toll. I had to catch the next on as it was aimed for my head. My arms trembled with the effort to keep it from coming any closer.

"M-21. I don't intend to kill you quickly. I'll make you regret running about as you please"

Damn it. I could feel my power starting to fade away. Feel my hands returning to normal.
He kicked out but I managed to stay on my feet but there was very little distance between me and the children.

"TAKE THIS"
He struck out again with a slash of power. Damn if I move it will hit the kids. No matter what I couldn't let that happen.
I felt it tear into my skin and blood gush to the floor.

I could hear shark saying something but the words were somewhat lost to me as I fell to the ground. It was Regis voice which managed to break through the fog that was taking over.

"It's too loud for me to even rest"

"Why did you get up so late. I let you loose a while ago"
It was so like him to take his time. But my part was done now he can take it for here. I felt myself smile slightly when I took note that his clothes were all fixed once more. That was so like him.

"Sorry I'm late. I needed time to recover. I'll take it from here"

I must've lost myself for a little bit as the next thing I know Regis was fighting Crans and looking very battered. So even Regis was powerless against Crans. To think that the leader of the DA-5 would be this strong.
"Shark"
My eyes flicked to Tao at his words. So sharks not done yet and my guess is he's not the kind of guy to leave the kids alone.

With musted up whatever strength I had left to push myself to my feet and stood between the advancing shark and the children. It was easy enough to ignore the pain as I had suffered way worse than this during my time as a lab rat.

"M-21, why are you trying to block my way in your state?"

He struck me across the face.
"You arrogant piece of shit. I will kill you to. If you hadn't fooled around in the first place"
"You are ridiculous for blaming someone else"

"M-21 DIE"
My eyes widened at the feel of this blade getting stabbed right into me. then the next moment I was falling as I heard the children scream.
Why are they screaming.
"Mister wake up"
Is it because of me?
"Open your eyes"
"Don't die
I could hear them crying. Why are they crying .

One word seam to break through with what was being said by the DA-5, Intruder.
An intruder. Could it be. I felt myself laugh.i should be too weak to laugh but I still did.

"You're laughing? You must have gone made from the pain"
"I'm just so glad" I told shark.
"WHAT THE?"
"You're late" I told the new arrivals.
"What the hell are you talking about"

"What is with all union people and ganging up on children? One would think that's all you can do"

I was never so relieved to hear that blond sounding so crazy. DA-5 wouldn't know what they were in for.
