Chapter 5 Corpse Disposal
The spirit flew through the air as some men in suits on duel runners started pursuing it. It turned itself into the master Samurai making its signal disappear. The men stopped when they saw the synchro reading suddenly disappear.
"These annoyances will make things much more inconvenient. I cannot let them find that I'm after him till it's too late.", the spirit thought.
It would take much longer for it to reach the target on foot.
In Shinjuku…
An hour later…
A small spirit ran fearfully as it was pursued by similar looking men and some others. It was purple with rotting flesh. It had strangely bulk mis colored arms. One of its legs was like that of a goat while the other was normal. Its stomach was bloated and ripping a white shirt. The spirit was crying out with fear as it was pursued.
Walter and Isabeau were currently engaged in a duel before fearful screaming could be heard. That drew their attention, Flynn activated his gauntlet running towards it followed by Issachar. The others guarded the fleeing civilians.
"I detect a spirit nearby.", Burroughs said.
Flynn's hand neared his deck about to pull out his monster before his eyes widened and he suddenly stopped. The purple spirit turned to him before the men came into the underground district and it hid behind Flynn. Flynn looked down behind his leg sweat dropping.
"Please help me…Lord Flynn!", the purple spirit begged as comedic tears fell from its face.
Flynn and Issachar sweat dropped at this especially since they did recognize the spirit.
"Plaguespreader Zombie?", Flynn questioned, surprised to see his tuner in person.
He almost instinctively covered his nose because of how horrible it smelled. Issachar did cover his nose at the spirit's revolting smell.
"There he is!", pursuer 1 said as he pointed at Plaguespreader squealed and hid fearfully behind Flynn's leg.
"That pest!", pursuer 2 said.
Flynn looked between the men and the spirit not knowing the situation at all.
"Wait, kind sirs. What did he do?", Flynn asked as he raised up his hands.
"He did what zombies always do, make more of them!", pursuer 3 accused.
"Bwah!!! It wasn't me! You guys always think it's me every time this happens and it never is! This is type profiling!", Plaguespreader replied, crying.
"Well excuse me…'Plaguespreader Zombie' it's literally in your name!!!!", pursuer 2 replied sarcastically.
"And I keep telling you jerks I'm too weak to turn living people into zombies! Only the strong zombies can do that!", Plaguespreader replied.
"That sounds like a flimsy cover story!", pursuer 4 replied.
"Your having an undead problem?", Flynn asked.
"We've been for a while. The angels attack killed the previous ones off, but now there's more again!", pursuer 1 explained.
"I don't think you should jump to conclusions, kind sirs. There should be thorough investigation first.", Flynn replied.
"What do you know, outsider?!", pursuer 3 questioned.
"He's the Lord of the Undead Spirits!", Plaguespreader said, pointing at Flynn.
Issachar sweat dropped wondering how Flynn continuously got himself tangled up in such strange situations.
"You think that angel is going to stop this?! Fujiwara and Skins may accept you, but we sure as hell don't, angel!", pursuer 1 replied.
Flynn raised up his hand defensively as the pursuers raised their duel disks.
"Let me try to find the culprit. You can set an amount of time for me to find them. If I can't find anything I'll give him over. How's that sound?", Flynn suggested as the pursuers looked at him warily, especially as their gaze fell on his gauntlet.
"We don't want to mess with him…he has real solid vision and he could call more angels. Let's just let him look for it.", pursuer 4 whispered, frightfully.
The other pursuers grimaced not wanting to trust the outsider, but after seeing the destruction his fellow 'angels' caused they didn't want to risk it.
"Fine…You have one hour and you have to stop the undead.", pursuer 1 said.
"That's ridiculous! There's no way that's enough time!", Issachar replied as Plaguespreader panicked.
"I'll accept, sir.", Flynn replied and the two looked at him incredulously.
"I'll register that as a new quest!", Burroughs said, and he received the quest 'Corpse Disposal'.
"Don't worry if you're really innocent I won't let them hurt you.", Flynn whispered to the zombie spirit.
As they left Flynn pulled up his gauntlet to communicate with the others.
"I'll be right back. A quest has popped up and I don't have time to explain.", Flynn said.
Afterwards Flynn lowered his gauntlet. Him and Issachar looked around before they saw a zombified Hunter. The former Hunter moaned mindlessly trying to swipe at them.
"Non-Duelable threat identified. Authorizing monster materialization.", Burroughs said.
Flynn summoned Doomkaiser Dragon who batted away the undead. Plaguespreader looked starry eyed seeing the dragon.
"Oooh…when humans are turned like that they just become drones. This is horrible…", Plaguespreader replied.
"They're just gone?", Flynn asked and Plaguespreader nodded.
Flynn grimaced before he changed the setting on his gauntlet.
"Changing real solid vision from stun mode to kill mode. Are you sure about this, Master Flynn?", Burroughs asked.
"Are you?", Issachar asked as Flynn's arm lightly shaked.
"Yes…Doomkaiser! Death Spectral Howling!", Flynn replied, pointing at the undead.
The undead was engulfed in purple flames being completely vaporized. More appeared and Issachar hastily materialized White-Horned Dragon. It fired a beam from its mouth at the undead. In less than a few minutes the dragons easily vaporized any zombie Hunters and some zombie Asura Kai in the area. They flew on the dragons over Shinjuku. They had flown through Shinjuku to annihilate the infected with amazing speed.
"Master, I'm detecting a strong spirit nearby.", Burroughs warned when they flew over a certain area.
It was an area east of Cafe Florida. They looked around as they flew down. Suddenly a Hunter appeared and he wasn't zombified.
"Are you the ones that killed all the infected?", the furious Hunter asked.
"Could he be a reinforcement Hunter? He's a little late for that.", Burroughs said.
"That was uncalled for, you twerps!", the furious Hunter said.
"I beg your pardon!? What did you expect us to do let them roam?", Issachar replied angrily.
Flynn put a hand in front of him. Plaguespreader hid behind Flynn fearfully and Doomkaiser growled at the Hunter.
"Oh dear…I think you'd better be careful around this one.", Burroughs said.
"With things this messed up, I'm better off becoming a spirit…That's why I asked Pumpking to give them power! We got no hope, trapped here in Tokyo…Damn that Tayama and those angels…his Asura Kai betrayed us all! He babbles about some law to coexist with spirits and locks us up in those underground districts…! I won't let him make everyone in Tokyo into cowards, blind to the truth!", the furious Hunter said as Flynn narrowed his eyes.
Issachar sweated nervously seeing the similarities between their stories.
"What will you do, sir?", Flynn asked, warily hearing similar things before.
"I'm going to release them all from Tayama's slavery…! And I'll kill everyone that gets in my way! I'll show you how a real Hunter handles things…! Pumpking appear! Give me your power!", the furious Hunter said as he outstretched his arms.
"Wait! Don't cross over! If you do that it's too late for you!", Issachar warned.
"Stop now, sir! You don't know what you're doing!", Flynn said, hastily.
Suddenly a shadow of a spirit appeared behind the Hunter.
"Doomkaiser! Stop him!", Flynn ordered, pointing at the spirit.
However it was too late it quickly turned immaterial before slipping into the Hunter's mouth. He suddenly struggled desperately as veins bulged all over his body. He let out a bloodcurdling scream as his soul was being gradually devoured. His stomach opened up to reveal teeth. Over his chest an eye popped out. The eye and mouth lit up with blue. His screams became muffled as blue flames leaked from his mouth. They looked completely horrified seeing this. The dragons tried to shoot fire at the transforming Hunter.
Blade-like wings emerged from his back flying up to avoid the attacks. The mouth on his stomach laughed maniacally tearing his clothes open as he stomach turned orange. His torso distorted more, becoming a pumpkin as his limbs and neck turned into plant-like material.
The dragons flew after him trying to vaporize him again.
"Your body is mine, foolish human!", the mouth on his stomach said as the Hunter's sweating intensified his fear increasing.
As he transformed his consciousness slowly started to dissipate. His memories started to fade away and be overwritten by the spirit.
"N-No! W-why are you doing this, Pumpking?! This is n-not what you pro-ahhh!", the Hunter said shakily.
His eyes suddenly rolled back and his body went limp for a moment. His arm suddenly raised up his duel disk.
"S-stop…", Flynn called out, shaken.
"Was it like that for them…?", Flynn thought in horror.
The dragons de materialized and Flynn glared intensely at the spirit. A low growl slipped from his lips.
"You…", Flynn said, in a low tone making Issachar and Plaguespreader nervous as he raised his gauntlet.
"Nice to finally meet you, the Doomking's chosen vessel. I am the death general formerly known as Pumpking now, Jack-o-Bolan. Once, I beat you that silly Hunter won't be the only human losing their body today.", the pumpkin said as the Hunter's head hung limply.
"Bwah!!! Not another one! Lord Flynn, you can't lose to him!", Plaguespreader cried out.
"You will give him back when I beat you!", Flynn demanded, pointing at the spirit.
"Sure, provided he still exists by this duel's end.", Jack-o-Bolan said.
"Are you sure about this, Flynn? If you lose Doomking will take your body next!", Issachar said.
"I don't care…I won't let that spirit just devour him.", Flynn hissed, in a low tone as he glared daggers at the death general.
Plaguespreader moved back a bit frightened. Burroughs activated the coin toss function as the duel disks linked.
"Duel!/Duel.", the two said.
Flynn LP 4000
Jack-o-Bolan LP 4000
"I draw. This deck is so shit…and he wondered why the Hunters are so helpless and incompetent.", Jack-o-Bolan grumbled.
Jack-o-Bolan
Hand: 6
"W-what did you say?! You traitorous bastard?", the Hunter questioned, his eyes rolling back.
"I said you're weak! You've always been weak! Now that I have this power I don't need you anymore! You thought you'd be any different from any other fools trying to claim a spirit's power! You couldn't save anyone, not your brother or your niece!", Jack-o-Balon replied as it laughed mockingly.
Flashback
Asura Kai members held his crying niece tightly. Another member stood in front of him with a duel disk.
"This has nothing to do with you. Her parents owed us money. Now, they've kicked the bucket we need her to repay their debt.", the Asura Kai member 1 said.
"Your the ones who got him killed on that mission!", the Hunter barked back angrily.
"Who cares how the leech kicked the bucket? He's dead now.", Asura Kai member 2 replied.
"Get away from her, you bastards! You'll leave her alone when I beat you!", the Hunter hissed.
However, things didn't go as planned. His niece cried out for him as he lost to the member and was carried away. The Asura Member 1 looked down at him with a condescending smile.
"You Hunters never learn. You're at the bottom of the food chain next to the nobodies without decks.", Asura Kai member 1 said.
After the duel he was left facedown on the floor with Asura Kai members kicking him viciously.
"I'm sorry…Nia.", the Hunter thought sadly.
Flashback end
Blue flames emerged from the pumpkin's mouth enveloping his arms and legs. As he screamed out in pain the flames were released from his mouth. His arms melted away to reveal only bone. His legs completely disappeared leaving a pillar of flame in their place.
"Stop!", Flynn said, reaching out to him.
This made Flynn angrier as Issachar looked over to him warily. He'd found when Flynn was enraged he was even more stubborn than usual and hardly listened to reason.
"What is your name, sir?", Flynn asked, before his eyes could rolled back again.
"Why do you care…?! Your just one of those angel bastards…!", the Hunter questioned.
"I want to know.", Flynn replied, with a sincere look.
"…M-my name is Hiroto…Daisuke…", the Hunter replied.
"I promise you sir Daisuke I will do my utmost to save you.", Flynn replied and Hiroto looked confused.
"What rubbish! I activate the effect of King of the Swamp discarding it to add Polymerization to my hand.", Jack-o-Bolan said as Hiroto's eyes rolled back again.

Hand: 3

(ZOMBIE/DARK/FUSION/NORMAL/ ATK 2200/ DEF 1800/ LV6)
"The Snake Hair" "Dragon Zombie"
"W-what with this angel? He can't be serious a-about saving me…", Hiroto thought, trapped deep inside his mind.
"Then, I will set a monster and card facedown and end my turn.", Jack-o-Bolan said.
Jack-o-Bolan
Hand: 1
"I draw!", Flynn said.
Flynn
Hand: 6
"I activate Tuning allowing me to add one Synchron monster from my hand and then I discard the top card of my deck. I choose Unknown Synchron.", Flynn said.

(Normal Spell)
Effect: Add 1 "Synchron" Tuner from your Deck to your hand, then send the top card of your Deck to the GY.
The card sent was Plaguespreader Zombie.
"Just my luck…", Jack-o-Bolan grumbled and Plaguespreader looked excited to help Flynn.
"I activate the effect of Unknown Synchron allowing me to special summon it when you control a monster, but I don't.", Flynn said.
Flynn
Hand: 5

Flynn
Hand: 3
"I will tune Plaguespreader Zombie with Zombie Master! From the dark depths of the grave arise, great dragon noble even in death! Your dreadful roar signals your enemies doom! Synchro summon! Level 6! Doomkaiser Dragon!", Flynn chanted.
Doomkaiser let out a furious roar as he appeared.
"Well…you sure seem angry…", Jack-o-Bolan said.
"A-a real synchro m-monster?! I-It's a zombie synchro monster…", Hiroto questioned, his consciousness resurfacing for a moment.
He never thought someone like him would get to witness such a monster.
"I activate the effect of Doomkaiser allowing me to special summon a zombie monster from your graveyard. I choose Snake Hair. Roar of the Living Dead!", Flynn said.
The zombie crawled out of the ground over to Flynn's side.
"I tune Unknown Synchron with Snake Hair. Reawaken mystic relic from a time long past! Justice still needs you! Synchro summon! Level 5! Ally of Justice Catastor!", Flynn chanted as the death general became more nervous.
Plaguespreader's mouth was wide open, especially knowing he could still do more. Hiroto's eyes widened seeing the sheer power on display.
"I banish Mezuki from my graveyard allowing me to special summon a zombie monster from my graveyard. I choose Zombie Master.", Flynn said.
Mezuki
(ZOMBIE/EARTH/EFFECT/ ATK 1700/ DEF 800/ LV4)

Effect: When this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; it loses 2400 ATK.
Hiroto's consciousness fully surfaced again completely stunned.
"He s-synchro summoned three t-times?! Just who is this guy?!", Hiroto questioned.
He witnessed not just one, but three synchro monsters all summoned on the same turn. It seemed completely unbelievable to him, especially seeing another zombie user accomplish it.
"Now, you're just showing off!", Jack-o-Bolan said.
" I set a card facedown then I attack your fusion monster with Doomkaiser! Death Spectral Howling!", Flynn declared.
Flynn
Hand: 1
"I activate Scrap-Iron Scarecrow to negate your attack. Afterwards it resets itself.", Jack-o-Bolan countered.
Scrap-Iron Scarecrow
(Normal Trap)
Effect: When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target the attacking monster; negate the attack, also, after that, Set this card face-down instead of sending it to the GY.
"I will attack your fusion monster with Blue Sirius then! Full Moon Fang!", Flynn declared.
The bipedal wolf bit the mammoth, cracking its skull and causing its skeleton body to crack and shatter.
Jack-o-Bolan LP 4000 - 200 = 3800
"Then, I attack your facedown monster with Catastor! Neo Thunder Ray!", Flynn declared.
The facedown monster was Castle of Dark Illusions.
Castle of Dark Illusions
(FIEND/DARK/EFFECT/ ATK 920/ DEF 1930/ LV4)

As long as this card remains face-up on the field, the ATK and DEF of Zombie-Type monsters continues to increase by 200 points during each of your Standby Phases. This effect continues until your 4th turn after the card is activated.
"You triggered the flip effect of my Castle of Dark Illusions. It increases the attack and defense of all zombie monsters on the field by 200 up until my 4th turn after it is activated.", Jack-o-Bolan countered.
Castle of Dark Illusions ATK 920 200 = 1120
Castle of Dark Illusions DEF 1930 200 = 2130
Flynn LP 4000 - 30 = 3970
"What's with that monster's bizarre stats?!", Issachar questioned.
"The effect is even more bizarre…I end my turn." Flynn said.
"That could have been ugly…", Jack-o-Bolan thought.
"I draw.", Jack-o-Bolan said, before forcing the Hunter back down into his mind.
Jack-o-Bolan
Hand: 2
Castle of Dark Illusions ATK 1120 200 = 1320
Castle of Dark Illusions DEF 2130 200 = 2330
"I activate the fool's union skill. Hunter Fusion. Once per turn I can pay 1000 to send the fusion materials listed for a fusion monster to the graveyard. Then fusion summon a monster from my extra deck that has 2 fusion materials.", Jack-o-Bolan said.
Jack-o-Bolan LP 3800 - 1000 = 2800
"I will send Pumpking of Ghosts and Mezuki. I fusion summon the only strong monster that worthless weakling possesses. Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon", Jack-o-Bolan said.

Effect: Must first be Fusion Summoned. Monsters cannot be destroyed by battle with this card.

(When Summoned, its Level and ATK become equal to the original Level and ATK of that monster.) You can only control 1 "Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon".
Strangely the dragon's head hung low. Its expression seemed almost melancholy. He made sure to take note of its effect.
"He must have a connection with this monster. It seems sad… I must save sir Daisuke!", Flynn thought as he felt his determination growing.
"That's a big monster…", Issachar commented and Plaguespreader looked fearful.
"I activate Pot of Avarice. It allows me to return 5 cards from my graveyard to my deck and then I draw two cards. I choose Swampking, Beastking, Snake Hair, Pumpking and Great Mammoth of Goldfine.", Jack-o-Bolan said.
Jack-o-Bolan
Hand: 4
"I activate my effect to discard a zombie monster to special summon myself. Goodbye Hiroto! Your final contribution will be sacrificing your soul to give me greater power! It will be the most significant thing you'll have ever done!", Jack-o-Bolan said, discarding Dragon Zombie.

You can only use each effect of "Jack-o-Bolan" once per turn.
"W-wait no!", Hiroto or Daisuke struggled as death general's power rose.
"Sir Daisuke!/Daisuke!", Flynn and Issachar called out.
Images of his niece, his brother and former hunters flashed in his mind as everything started to blank.
Muffled horrified screams could be heard as flames coming from his mouth curved back, enveloping his face which melted away leaving only a skeleton smiling devilishly. His consciousness then completely vanished as his soul devoured.
"I'm afraid I cannot return that fool anymore. After all, that foolish Hunter no longer exists now. He was so weak I easily devoured him whole. What was his name again? Ahh…who cares?! I can't even remember. Don't you know when someone is taken over by a spirit and their face disappears they're gone?", Jack-o-Bolan replied as Flynn gritted his teeth.
Anger rose up within him he thought back to all those he'd seen be taken over. Even as Zorc, Nathan's face was visible, but others like Vincent were completely gone. The fusion dragon let out a sad roar.
"I can confirm the Hunter has been completely devoured. I'm not detecting a trace of his soul anywhere.", Burroughs said as they grimaced.
"Then, you'll give his deck back. It doesn't belong to you. It belongs to his family.", Flynn said.
"I suppose that's an acceptable wager. This deck doesn't matter to me anyway.", Jack-o-Bolan replied.
"T-that's so messed up! He was your user right? How could you do that to him?", Plaguespreader questioned.
"Don't act like it's never crossed your mind with such a strong user like him!", Jack-o-Bolan replied.
"I would never do that to Flynn! He's so nice! I know he's going to be the best Lord of the Undead ever! Way better than Doomking could ever be!", Plaguespreader replied, sincerely.
Flynn felt touched by Plaguespreader's belief in him even after his failure.
"As if! That's just hogwash! I summon Goblin Zombie.", Jack-o-Bolan said.
Goblin Zombie
(ZOMBIE/DARK/EFFECT/ ATK 1100/ DEF 1050/ LV4)
Effect: If this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: Send the top card of their Deck to the GY. If this card is sent from the field to the GY: Add 1 Zombie monster with 1200 or less DEF from your Deck to your hand.
"I attack your Doomkaiser with my Nethersoul Dragon!", Jack-o-Bolan declared.
Flynn grimaced, unable to stop the attack. The fusion monster fired a mouth beam at Doomkaiser. Doomkaiser growled in pain especially when the fusion monster extracted something out of it.
Flynn LP 3970 - 600 = 3370
"Your monster isn't destroyed, it's attack becomes 0 and I gain a token with its stats.", Jack-o-Bolan said.
Doomkaiser fell smack on the ground, alarming Flynn. Its eyes and its core stopped glowing. The token appeared as a spiritual doppelgänger to Doomkaiser. It looked completely bizarre to see the Doomkaiser clone.
Doomkaiser Dragon ATK 2400 - 0
"Oh no!", Plaguespreader Zombie cried out.
"I will attack your Blue Sirius with my token!", Jack-o-Bolan declared.
The doppelgänger and Blue Sirius clashed, destroying one another.
"Blue Sirius' effect triggers when he's destroyed he can make one of your monsters lose 2400 attack! I choose your fusion monster! Lunar Blood Curse!", Flynn countered.
Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon ATK 3000 - 2400 = 600
"Then, I attack Doomkaiser's husk with Goblin Zombie! It's effect activates sending the top card of your deck to the graveyard.", Jack-o-Bolan declared.
Flynn LP 3370 - 1100 = 2270
The card sent was Mirror Force which made Bolan laugh.
"You will be Doomking's soon. I end my turn.", Jack-o-Bolan said.
However Flynn didn't even look slightly amused. His glare pierced through the death general's very soul. It was almost a bit unnerving. The sheer intensity made Issachar nervous. Ghostly howls could be heard as Flynn prepared to draw.
"I draw!", Flynn said as a wind picked up and the howls became louder.
Flynn
Hand: 2
"There will be no next turn I activate-", Flynn was saying.
"Not so fast there, sonny! I can target one zombie monster in either player's graveyard and special summon it by banishing myself till the end phase. I choose your Doomkaiser.", Jack-o-Bolan said as Plaguespreader freaked out and Issachar's eyes widened panic filled him.
Doomkaiser appeared on the death general's side of the field, slumping over mindlessly.
"His effect is just like Doomkaiser!", Issachar said.
"How do you like that? I have your dragon now!", Jack-o-Balon gloated.
"Regardless…you will be punished, Jack-o-Balon. I activate my trap card Needlebug Nest. I can send the top 5 cards of my deck to the graveyard.", Flynn declared, menacingly.
Needlebug Nest
(Normal Trap)
Effect: Send the top 5 cards of your Deck to the GY.
The cards sent were: Mystical Space Typhoon, Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon, Defense Draw, Mezuki, and Terraforming.
"This is the final turn.", Flynn declared.
"As if! You can't defeat me t-", Jack-o-Balon was saying before gasping when Flynn revealed Raigeki.
"Your punishment has been decided…Feel the wrath of God's lightning! I activate Raigeki destroying all monsters on the field!", Flynn said as his voice became low again.
Flynn
Hand: 1
Raigeki
(Normal Spell)
Effect: Destroy all monsters your opponent controls.
Clouds suddenly appeared in the sky crackling loudly with thunder. Lightning shot from the cloud annihilating all of Jack-o-Balon's monsters. The death general became nervous now.
"I banish Mezuki to resurrect Doomkaiser! Arise!", Flynn said as Doomkaiser returned from the depths of the Earth with a loud roar.
"Oh shit…", Jack-o-Bolan cursed.
"I activate the effect of Doomkaiser to resurrect one zombie monster from your graveyard! I resurrect Pumpking! Then I will summon Goku En. His effect allows me to normal summon him without tributing.", Flynn said.
Flynn
Hand: 0
"I attack you with Pumpking!", Flynn declared.
It stumbled back after getting hit by its lesser form. It hurt a lot more than it expected, breaking part of the pumpkin. Then, Issachar's eyes widened when he realized kill mode was still on.
Jack-o-Bolan LP 2800 - 1800 = 1000
"Your trap card is useless…I attack you directly with Doomkaiser! Death Spectral Howling!", Flynn declared.
"W-wait Flynn! Kill mode is on!", Issachar warned, he noticed the black aura around Flynn was back with its full intensity this time making him sweat nervously.
"Y-yeah, we can talk about this!", Jack-o-Balon said cowardly.
"That evil spirit tricked and devoured its own master…it's rotten to the core! There's no greater example of pure evil!", Flynn replied angrily.
Issachar hesitated knowing he was right, but he didn't want Flynn to kill someone especially in this state. Doomkaiser had been watching the two argue.
"End it, Doomkaiser!", Flynn ordered.
Doomkaiser turned back breathing fire that burned away most of the death general except the arm that had the duel disk. The death general screamed in pain as he was vaporized. Flynn walked over to the deck as the aura quickly dissipated. It seemed he wasn't completely berserk like against Nathan as he picked up the deck. Flynn's expression was full of melancholy.
"I'm sorry…", Flynn said sadly as he put his hand over the deck, closing his eyes.
"Sometimes you can't save all of them.", Issachar said sadly.
Flynn turned to him with tears visible in his eyes before hugging Issachar. Plaguespreader tired to hug him, but since he was short he was only hugging his leg. Flynn did appreciate the thought though.
Elsewhere in Tokyo…
The possessed master Samurai grimaced, feeling a death general somehow already made it to the target. However, not too long after it disappeared.
"It seems the target has eliminated the death general. I see why my master is so interested in him.", the possessed master thought.
In Shinjuku…
Flynn and Issachar walked back to the underground district, the former baring a downcast expression. The Hunters were left speechless to see Flynn had completed the quest within the time limit. He looked down at Hiroto's deck. He hoped he either had more family or that he could give it to his niece.
"Thank you, Lord Flynn. You may have not been able to save Daisuke, but you still saved me. Your my hero.", Plaguespreader said, drawing his attention.
