The alarm made me open my eyes, with a yawn first, I then turned it off and got up; I leave my bedroom. Masahiro, Zaki, Oda, Reimuru, Kiro, Amiya, Korone, Anne and Lucius were all getting up, too; I rubbed my face, and went to make coffee for myself, the girls already were going to use the bathroom. Masahiro and Oda sat at the table, while Kiro was eating an apple.
"Good morning, guys. Did you sleep well?"
"Yup" Replied my brother and Hermes.
"Yeah, the bed was pretty comfortable." Kiro answered.
Reimuru put some bread in the toaster while Luscius is already preparing breakfast.
"First day as Templars, I wish it goes well for all of us." Luscius spoke while making sure the food wasn't getting stuck and burning.
"It'll go well for us."
"¿How are you so sure, sarge?" Oda asked after taking a sip of pear juice, humming in delight "This juice is really nice."
"My instincts are tellling me."
Both my brother and him shrugged. We all did the morning routine (breakfast, brushing teeth, bathroom, shower) then changed. Heading directly to where the training grounds are.
As we are walking, Reimuru starts a conversation.
"Lucius, Korone, I'm heading to the gym later, I found out there's some in this base ¿You guys want to come?"
"Sure thing." Lucius answered, nodding.
"You bet, baby!" Korone replied, winking and grinnning brightly.
"Don't forget the check out the armory later. We probably should get new gear since our Adaptia may not be very effective with our normal weapons."
"Maybe we can get them upgraded." Zaki mentioned.
"I hope so, since it seemed to affect our weapons and help us survive last night."
We are still carrying our weapons, which aren't seemingly damaged, though we need more ammo since we're running low.
"The armory most likely has ammo we can borrow." Amiya says.
We keep walking and check on a map that we pass by, we turn on a corner and saw some different looking people, with crosses and kind of church related clothing, probably the priests and nuns, which are well armed like everyone in this organization. I can see some having swords, hammers, axes, pistols, smgs, shotguns, etc. I definetly wouldn't want to piss off these people.
"Morning."
"Morning brother Hikaru." Oneo of the nuns greeted. I stopped walking and stared at her. She has her eyes closed with a soft smile on her facem I noticed a mole next to her upper lip.
"How do you know my name?"
"We are notified when new brothers and sisters are accepted into our creed." She responded.
"I see, have a good day all of you."
We kept walking, Masahiro nudged my arm.
"Do you think they mind me for being...not exactly like them?" He asked, worried. I patted his head, messing his hair.
"Don't be silly. They may like you around, I know no one is going to hurt you here."
We arrive at the training grounds, at one side there are some simulation rooms; at the other side there is a shooting range. Zaki (Clockwork); Anne(Daybreak) ; Reimuru(Crusader) and Amiya(Saturn) headed to the shooting range, while I; Masahiro; Kiro(Barricade); Oda(Hermes); Lucius(Hopper) and Korone(Stomp) headed to one of the simulation rooms.
The new templars found crates with their names and nicknames on them, the crates held their equipment and ammo; however, their outfits were replaced by armors that looked similar to the Templar soldiers. Even Masahiro's personal weapons seemed to have been modified.
In the simulation room, the six operators held their now lighter weapons. Allistair has his tonfas; Masahiro his own ones; Barricade carries a shield on his left arm and a plasma sword on his right hand, while on his back there is a spas-12; Hermes has his mp5k on his back and in his hands he holds two kukris; Hopper wears special gauntlets and boots which are spiked, the gauntlets have a drill mode, he also has a grenade launcher holstered in his back.
Someone spoke through the simulation room speakers.
"Sergeant Hikaru, welcome to the simulation room number 20771. Don't let the size of the room deceive you, once the simulation starts, the place will grow in size depending on what is being simulated." Captain Angelo's voice goes out of the speakers.
Allistair, looked around the room, it looked like a blank room with the high-tech walls and some corners, some signs and the many lights.
"Now, since your other teammates are in the shooting range, improving their aim as we speak, we will only simulate combat and warp some basic enemies to see how well can you fight. The simulated enemies will become more dangerous as you progress; Once the simulation starts, you won't be able to leave the room until we stop the simulation from running. So do your best." Explained the captain.
The six men walked into the middle of the room, as they stood back to back.
"Activating simulation...Initializing combat program...3...2...1"
Suddenly, from green lights emerged men with military gear, some had rifles while others had shock rods. A few carried shields and others had lmg's. All around them. Hopper quickly reached for his grenade launcher and fired two nades, which exploded and blew up three terrorists, Allistair shot two shock rod terrorists with his shotgun while Hermes blasted at the terrorists with firearms.
"Hmph!" Barricade smashed shielded terrorists and cut a terrorist with a shotgun in the neck, beheading her. Afterwards, he kicks a terrorist with a baton in the chest. Then blocks the bullets of the men with light machine guns. "Damn it."
Thankfully, Masahiro jumped towards the machine gun terrorists and dive kicked one, then dodged the shots of the other, slamming both tonfas on the belly of the man; Masahiro after that spin-swipe his right tonfa to the left knee of the man and knocked out the person with side-smack of his left tonfa.
Meanwhile, at the same time, Allistair punches a terrorist and rotate-strikes another with his right weapon, followed by hitting a terrorist in the jaw then the nose, his blows knocked the attackers away while Hopper was blasting apart the squads of terrorists with his grenades.
"Team, regroup!" Yelled Allistair, as he shot a combat rifle terrorist in the legs then to another on the chest. Hopper put away his launcher before throwing a hook to a criminal in the face, destroying her face. The males regrouped as they used their firearms, except Hopper and Barricade, killing most of the terrorists.
"Level 1 Complete-Initializing Level 2..."
The terrorists dissapeared, as they were all replaced by ninjas and orcs. Some Orcs had chainsaws and large axes, a few ninjas had chained knives and kusarigamas, glaives and very long single edged swords. A few orcs charged towards the group, Hopper exploded them to bits, but from the smoke caused by the explosion came through the ninjas; Allistair and Masahiro stood in the front and started blocking the many slashes of the ninjas, counter-attacking with swipes, spinning smacks and direct thrusts of their tonfas.
Barricade slammed with his shield a few Orcs away, as Hermes clashed his kukris against the spear tips and blades of the orcs. The shielded templar sliced in half an orc; after that he beheaded two ninjas and stabbed one through the chest, the plasma sword then moved up, cutting in half from the middle chest to the head as the chopped ninja fell lifeless.
A ninja with a spear stabbed the sergeant in the left pectoral, he grunts and uppercuts the ninja destroying their lowers jaw, another slashes across his chest and he smashes the hilts of his tonfas on the sides of the attacker, cracking her head as her eyes popped out of their sockets. Allistair then started beating a ninja that was using a kusarigama to death, his tonfas getting covered in blood.
Masahiro, at the same time, got cut on most of his arms and chest, he punched a hole into the stomach of a ninja then smacked off the head of another one; an orc smashed a hammer on the boy's face, making him stagger back; he rushes forward and strikes with a barrage of blows bruising heavily the orc until he manages to break the green monster's torax.
With a descending kick Hopper crushed the skull of an orc, followed with jab that went into the chest of a ninja, he ripped out the heart of the warrior and crushed it. A ninja with a glaive managed to cut him in the back, Hopper tried to kick her, but his leg was stopped by the pole of the weapon, the woman tries to stab him, but is punched in the left ribs, she then bakcflips away from Hopper, but got slashed by Hermes, the cut made her bleed a lot as she fell dead from blood loss. Lucius saw Oda struggling with a chainsaw orc, he kicked the orc in the back, making the humanoid stop trying to cut Hermes down.
"Thanks!" Hermes said as he started chopping the orc after it got distracted, both Lucius and Oda attacked the orc from either sides and eventually, the stupid monster was chopped and beaten flesh.
In the shooting range, Zaki, Reimuru, Amiya, Korone and Anne were shooting at many ninjas with crossbows, terrorists with many firearms. The shooting range in reality, is actually a different simulation room section, where in a simulation, these 5 were now taking cover in different spots from their enemies. Stomp was wiping the incoming terrorists and orcs that tried to approach them with her light machine gun; Daybreak was scorching some walker drones, founding them with her flames, as well as roasting few orcs that approached her; Saturn uses a dead orc as a shield while spraying against ninjas with crossbows; Crusader covers Anne with his automatic rifle, crippling a few orcs while stabbing a fallen one with his longsword.
"Reloading!" Stomp yelled as she got next to Saturn, who was now covering her.
"Flames on 'em!" Daybreak yells and throws an incendiary grenade at the orcs and terrorists heading towards Korone and Amiya. They all were caught in flames that consumed them slowly as the Stomp finished reloading and now Saturn reloads.
Clockwork fires a bullet that goes through the skulls of some orcs and the chests of a few ninjas. Another shot ricochets from the blade of a ninja, hitting from behind a terrorist through the belly, damaging their lumbar spine. The third bullet went through the neck of a ninja woman, then exploded the skull of an orc. Crusader slices the throat of four orcs then blasts them at point-blank range with his G36; he stabs a terrorist three times on different spots of her stomach then smacks her with his rifle. An Orc tries to stab Reimuru in the back, but a sniper shot blows the monster's head to pieces which Zaki(Clockwork) fired before getting hit by an arrow which a ninja archer slang, he shoots back, killing the archer and few crossbow ninjas.
"I'm taking fire!" Clockwork yells, taking cover from terrorist snipers.
"On it!" Saturn shouts as she slashes a terrorist in the eyes then stabs another in the forehead. She then sprays a few others with her sub-machine gun, some got wounded while few died.
Stomp unsheates her claymore and shreds three orcs with one slash, then swings it and slams with it two sickle ninjas, the blow knocking them out as cracks could be heard, one of them had his eyes jump out of their sockets. She quickly switches back to her machine gun and fills with holes the body of an orc, but more appears and jump to tackle her, she shoots at them but even after killing a few, enough managed to pin her down.
"Korone!" Zaki said and aimed at the orcs, his eye on the scope starts glowing "Zen-Tri-Eye!"
After Clockwork pulled the trigger, a bullet almost as fast as lightning flies towards the orcs about the rip Stomp's clothes off, the projectile hits one orcs, going through the skull; yet it changes direction towards another orc, then another, and other, the heads of the demons getting blown apart by this bullet, until it finally hits the last remaining orc pinning Korone, exploding harder the head of the monster as nothing was left of the demon's skull.
Stomp smiles at Clockwork, blushing a lot due to being naked "Thanks, Zaki!"
Zaki nods and stabs an orc through the eye, using him as shield as terrorists with automatic firearms sprayed rounds towards him "Shit!" He grabs a Stun grenade, pulls the pin, throws it, and gets actual cover, the armed people were all stunned by a loud noise coming from the grenade, which instead of an explosion was a short ranged blast of super sonic waves. Which made the ears of the terrorists bleed. Crusader arrives here and blasts with his G36 the stunned criminals.
From a security room, the Captain Angelo was watching the halves of the new team, inspecting every move he can with his eyes.
"Another new team with excellent performance, looks like luck is on our side this year." He smirks.
"I've noticed as well." A female says from besides Angelo.
"Librarian Sworna, decided to watch a new team again with me?" The captain examined, a slightly playful tone in his question. The woman smiled, Sworna is a mature woman with brown hair that reachs to the shoulders and golden eyes whose pupils are replaced by four pointed stars.
"Looks like mine and my fellow librarians and saints's prediction is true. This year we are going to rise after having to be forced to stay in the shadows." She pointed out, proud. But her expression changed to one of curiosity once she saw Masahiro "Although we didn't predict a Part-Demon joining us. Luciff will be surprised."
"I was shocked once it turned out the boy believes he is completely human." Angelo remarked. "Seems he was lost, and somehow the demons never found him, nor the UFS, nor other Taimanin, but from what I assume, humans did find the baby. The rest leads all to today. He seems to need some training to control his particles." The man pointed out as one of the camera feeds showed Masahiro spin-smacking an orc and the demon was blown up by the particles reacting.
"Sir, Sergeant Hikaru's half on the simulation room number 20771 has been put into a simulated warzone, they are on level 3 now. While the other half in the simulation room number 10771 is also already in level 3." One of the security personnel pointed out.
"Good."
After the fighting in the simulation room, the Allistair and his team are now resting after they took a shower after that first time training, after the simulations ended, an instructor told them next time the entire team would simulate a rescue mission in one of the simulation rooms one day. Now they're heading towards the office of Colonnel Junko, which was guarded by templar with very menacing armors. Allistair knocks on the door, a faint -Come in!- signals the team to enter, the team steps iinside the office, where at the desk sit the Colonnel herself.
"I was informed of your performance in the basic training, and like most initiate teams this year, you have passed with a decent performance, reaching level 4 of 8." She informed, the sergeant looked at his team and his brother with pride, nodding to them.
"So Sergeant Hikaru, I decided to assign you to a new division we have been making since the beginning of this year. We call it the Strike Force. Which will be a new force of the Templars, related to direct combat and/or assault missions. You will be the leader of the Strike Force and are now Captain. Congratulations." Reiu explained followed by her congratulating the recently promoted Captain.
"Colonnel, I'm shocked frankly, to be assgined to this new unit is too generous of you." The former sergeant spoke.
"Nonsense, as a former operator of the Special Weapons And Tactics unit of the Police Force, you are fit for this. Many of our new teams are composed of teens and adults with only enough combat experience to survive in the streets. Or that were saved from demons; and we can't assign our older or more experienced templars, because this is a unit dedicated to train faster and more efficiently the newer people." Reiu Junko replies and continues "I will soon add more templar members into the Strike Force, and your duty will be to help them grow stronger along you. Unfortunately, we can't provide Masahiro with a tutor in particles, since he is the first taimanin to have joined us, a particle user, he will have to self teach himself to control his powers."
The now promoted Captain stared at his little brother with simpathy then back at the superior officer "Understood." He nodded.
"Good, you shall leave now, Strike Force." The Colonnel dismissed the recently formed unit as they all left the office then headed out to explore the base.
The Strike Force, stilll shocked by the events that happened moments ago walks through the hallway of the templar base. Their captain is baffled to say the least, he just expected to do his small part in this new creed/brotherhood he joined; seems like things are getting better for the templars, as in their devices notifications of the newly formed unit, some templar soldiers passed by and congratulated the 10 members, Hermes and Stomp were accepting of the fame while Masahiro simply tries to hide his face; Allistair is in thought, trying to see a pattern in what has happened as of late.
Their last operation for the police involved the orcs, the invasion into the department, the failed attempt to escape which resulted in the rescue by the Captain Angelo.
But there didn't see to be a pattern, this is stupid! The Colonnel Junko herself explicitly said that they are the most fit for this due to having more combat experience than other new members. Since they are also new templars themselves as well, Allistair assumed he and his team were just the right people at the right moment, and it could have been someone else if not them. The 10 members of the Strike Force encounter the librarian Sworna who is accompanied by captain Angelo.
"Greetings, Strike Force, I'm the librarian Sworna, along the Brother Captain Angelo, I will provide you information about your missions. Aswell as I will also be your bridge to contact other templars, be it equipment, information or even reinforcements, even a transfer to another base." She explained with a proud smile. After the strike force captain and his colleagues stared at each other, Sworna continued "Now, I will have you sent in an assault mission, stealth is optional but recommended."
"Then we shall get ready. Let's see..."
We are now in an aircraft, I brought only Saturn and Hopper with me, Captain Angelo is with us as well as some other templars. I hold my shotgun, which was modified and is equipped with an explosive fire-mode.
"Captain Angelo, I need to know more about Nomad, who is their leader."
The Brother Captain stares at me, he looked aside for a second then back to me. "It's a criminal organization, lead by a Vampire Demon, Edwin Black. They have control over the government of Japan and are slowly expanding outside the country and soon...out of the continent. We the Templars are supported by different investors who have our strongest Angels and Inquisitors protecting them. Our investors are safe, and so is the safety of our identity. This is why we are allowed to keep stealth as an option in most operations. Still, don't let yourself be captured. Nomad has many machinery and methods to...break someone." He explained.
"Roger. Strike Force, avoid being captured by the enemy! ¿Understood?"
"Yes sir!" Both my operators said in unison.
"We are arriving, get ready!" The pilot said through the voice communication.
"Team, weapons ready!" I shout.
"Ready!" All the team responded.
The gate of the airship opens, showing that it's close to an open large window. I jump out first, landing and rolling into the room, I look around as my team is also entering.
"Storm in, team!" I order, Hopper gets in first, bursting through the door and creating an explosion, which knocked out a few ninjas, he starts fighting at my left as I shoot at a crossbow ninja in the chest, the shot-pellets pierce through his chest as he is knocking off his balance. I fire again, blasting another in the skull as his face was disfigured. I hear Hopper still brawling behind me as some templars join him with axes and shortswords and plasma shields.
"Hmph!" I perform a groundslide kncoking a ninja off the floor, blasting them at point blank distance as she is pushed into the ceiling, then quickly blast two shots consecutively at another ninja with chained sickles, one time in the gut and the other in face; Holding the shotgun by the stock, I smack another ninja with it, making him drop his glaive.
"NGh!" I feel sharp pain on my arms and chest, shurikens. From a distance, there are more ninjas coming our way, luckily, templars beside me start firing as I switch to my shotgun and do the same.
"Ough!" A ninja cried as he was hit by 9 shots to the chest.
"Gugh!" Another had his neck blasted apart, ending with his head separating from his body.
"Gnhhraa!" A female ninja had her legs shot off, then got her skull pierced by a rifle round.
I blew up the head of a ninja with a shield, shooting and pumping rapidly 4 shots, then I move forward again.
"Grenade!" Hopper said through voice communication as a grenade flew above us and impacted into the feet of a group of ninjas, the explosion killed all of them, many lost limbs and some were pushed out of the building, falling to a secured death.
"You must find their prisoners and destroy that building!" Angelo said through the VC.
"You heard the brother captain! Look for any hostage/prisoner and later plant the bombs!"
We keep moving through the halls of the building. A tall ninja in green crashes through a wall, ramming us through the other one, we all switch to our close combat weapons. The tall ninja is buff, with a lot of muscle mass and many veins popping out of his body, his eyes glow a bright red, the eyes of demons.
"Melee combat!"
I rolll dodging a slow but heavy punch from the monster ninja, striking his lower back with 4 hits quick hits; I duck to avoid a spinning kick, hitting the exposed stomach 5 times then 2 times spinning my tonfas I smack his face. I quickly escape his arms that tried to grab me, Iimpulse myself and jump into the buff ninja, dropkicking him and making him stagger violently.
"I crush you!" The muscle ninja yells as he tries to slam his fists on me, hitting the floor instead which was cracked and shaken, I jumped out of the way then on his back.
I hold my right tonfa by the tip and smash the handle against the side of the head of this strong ninja, avoiding his massive hands from pulling me off him while hitting him hard. Some of the templars use their firearms to wound this monsters, Hopper is suddenly thrown into this room and an armored man arrives. I hold my left tonfa the same way as the right, then slam both at the sides of the buff ninja's head, stunning him as I jump off.
Lucius, also known as Hopper, gets up after being thrown off by a ninja using a power armor, he switches to drill mode of his guantlets, jumping towards the armored ninja, he thrusts his now drill gauntlets, sparks created by the grinding of the drill pick against the armored head of the ninja, scraping the alloy. Allistair is now punching with his tonfas the head of the buff ninja as a templar is constantly cutting the buff man's legs and chest.
Hopper bores his drills agaisnt the chestplate of the armored ninja, a who tries to jet himself away from the Strike Force member, a templar with a mace shoves the armored ninja towards the buff one, Allistair jumps off in time and the other templar rolls out of the way. The armored ninja impacts against the monster and exploded in armor parts and body parts, the buff ninja is pushed hard enough to crash through a wall, and fall off the building.
Saturn grapples with his feet a ninja and spins him around, hitting two other ninjas then throws his captive off the place, she then fires at a shuriken ninja {one shot to the right shoulder, another bullet stings into the gut and finally, one through the left eye}; Amiya(Saturn) shots another shinobi in the face, followed by shooting another two in the head. A templar plunges his spear through the neck of a ninja sneaking behind the Strike Force operator.
"Thank you!" She says to the templar.
The templar simply nods and stabs repeatedly another ninja with his spear. Hopper pierces through the skull of a ninja before another pugilist attacks him from behind, with a pained grunt, he kicks the shinobi in the chest and then switches back to his blunt mode of the guantlets. Lucius performs a hook then dodges many slashes form a Nomad ninja using a sword, one slash cut on the operator's chest, but he kicks the ribs of the shinobi and sends them to crash into a ninja with a bow that slinged an arrow towards him.
"Ah!" He rolled out of the way to dodge the arrow; Hopper runs towards the ninjas with short swords and hatchets, assaulting them with his gauntlets and boots.
From the airship high above, Captain Angelo was seeing through the hacked camera feed of the building, checking for anything alarming.
"Brother Captain, another airship is approaching the place!" The pilot tells to Angelo, who hums in curiosity and heads to the cockpit, the two are looking at a airship below from which certain kind of kunoichis are exiting.
"Oh no, taimanins...I must notifty the team!" Angelo warns.
Meanwhile, Allistair and Saturn are providing cover fire as Hopper and other templars have found some people held captive, a few were carried due to being unable to move, since they were first to have the machines tested on.
"Damn Nomad, turning innocent people with these things!" A Templar said as she was firing at the incoming Nomad mercenaries.
"Strike Force, leave the building and get to the extraction point, Taimanins have arrived and they might mistake you for the enemy. Leave now and get the hostages!" Angelo said through VC.
"On it!" Allistair responded- "Alright, let's get moving, go! Go! Go!" He signals everyone to get moving as they keep shooting at Nomad mercenaries and ninjas, explosions and similar sounds could be heard upstairs. "Get going! Quickly!"
The ceiling above the templars suddenly crumbles, they manage to escape with the hostages and arrive to the extraction point, but Allistair and Hopper stand behind to guard the point. Some Nomad mercenaries and ninjas fell from the floor above as they all saw them, the Taimanin, a bald man with muscular athelthic body, wearing googles and a mostly black-green suit with fishnets at some segments, a sub-machine gun on one hand and a pocket knife/Jack-knife on the other.
"Get to the ship, quickly!" Allistair orders to the templars as he puts his shotgun away and gets on guard stance with his batons.
The man stands up and turns at the strike force captain, smirking he says "Trying to run, huh? Not a chance!" He aims his smg at the airship and fires, quickly Allistair rushes towards the taimanin dodging the bullets, his steps alert the man who stops shooting "Huh? Are you approaching me, instead of running away like coyotes!?" He grins as he gets on stance, chuckling.
"I can't beat the hell out of you without getting closer!" The captain yells as he throws a jab, which the taimanin dodges and counters with a kick to the left side of Allistair's chest, the blow was fast, almost like a gunshot "Guh!" He coughs and ducks dodging a cut with the small blade. The bald male attacks with swiftness, forcing the templar to block with his tonfas, the impact of the kicks and cuts against the batons audible.
As this is happening, Saturn aimed her firearm towards the taimanin assaulting her captain, Hopper pushes down her gun "No, you could hit Allistair!"
"We have to help him!" She shouts.
"Don't try it, he's too dangerous for you!" Brother Captain Angelo says then pauses, starting at the bald male wearing googles, who is attacking with great speed the tonfa wielding templar. "Yatsu Kuro, a high rank taimanin with enhanced senses, and the power to regenerate. I've faced him a couple times."
Yatsu kicks Allistair making him roll away a few meters, and turns his head towards the airship "Is that the Angelo who am I hearing!?"
"Yatsu..." The brother captain growls. Kuro laughs flipping his pocket knife.
"It's been a while since I've met you! Are you accompanying a new team with you?" Yatsu asks with his cocky grin.
"I brought the newly formed Strike Force to rescue these people from Nomad, and I will make them into true warriors to fight for an actual future!" Angelo responds.
"Strike Force? Bahahaha! And you're also getting more pawns to fight your stupid war against Black?" The taimanin chuckles after retorting.
"Better than just leaving them to have their memory wiped and forget the fact that their lives were about to be ruined or to be bound to become nothing but livestock to demons! And you taimanins claim to want to protect humanity." The brother captain replies, keeping his composture even though he wanted to punch this cocky fool.
"Sacrifices are to be made, my friend, you Templar will nev- Gah!" Yatsu was cut off by Saturn firing her smg at him, he dodges the bullets and even deflects many with his knife. However, the noies by the gun, the knife blocking the rounds and the airship distracted him enough for Allistair to land a series of strikes and blows with his batons. After that, the strike force captain strikes the abdomen of Kuro with knee, forcing him to gag.
Yet, the male taimanin parries an attack from the SF templar, followed by a palm strike to the chest, making the young former operator stagger "You cunning bastard...Well played, boy, still it's gonna take more than that to take me down, hehehe..." As he speaks, the bruises on his face start dissapearing.
Allistair flinchs when seeing that 'He's regenerating!?' He thinks, then blocks with his tonfas a kick, he inmediatly lowers them to shove away the male taimanin, spinning his left baton, he swings outwards, landing a hard smack on the nose of the bald man, earning a grunt. He grips tighter the flipped baton, and unbeknownst to him, a blade emerges from the tip, he thrusts forward as the baton with the blade pierces through the belly of the male shinobi; But Yatsu stabs his pocket knife into Allistair's cheek earning a pained shriek:"Gyyaarrrgghh!" The strike force captain growls and hits Kuro 4 times with his right tonfas, before both separate with trails of blood from both men.
"Kuh...that's really new..." Yatsu stared at the templar, who shoves the knife off his cheek, as it falls on the floor. 'Humans are growing stronger as time passes. We gotta do something before things get out of control...' he thinks.
Allistair, while his cheek was slowly bleeding, thought 'A taimanin, part human and part demon warriors, but he knows who templars are. Why did the brother captain they might mistake us for the enemy?' He pants as he stands on guard 'And how did I do that?' He asks himself inside his head, as he stares at his flipped weapon which still has the blade out, to test, he loosens his grip, the blade goes back inside, he tightens it again and the blade gets back out 'So that's how it works.'
"You done testing your toy, kid?" The male taimanin asks with a taunting tone. Angelo and the others are still alert in case the strike force captain tries to make a run for the ship.
"It's clear I can't defeat you. You can capture me..." Allistair starts to slowly lower his tonfas.
"Giving up, I see." Yatsu Kuro smirks, his googles shine menacingly.
"That's right." The SF captain responds. A few seconds pass and...'Now!' He mentally yells to himself as he quickly takes off towards the airship.
"What the-!?" Yatsu quickly runs towards the fleeing templar.
A few shadows enter the room and see their ally chasing the strike force captain, who sprints with all his strenght towards the floating vehicles. Saturn and few other templars shoot at the bald man behind their captain, who dodges the bullets while slightly losing speed by doing so. The shadowy figures all leap towards the running young man, who once at the edge of the window, jumps in, the shadow figures reveal themselves, ninjas with similar clothing to Yatsu's are rapidly approaching the airship.
Allistair quickly aims his shotgun as his instinct kicks in again, slowing down everything around himself, he uses this to his advantage, shooting with his shotgun 2 times at each taimanin, including Kuro. He falls inside the air vehicle as times goes to normal speed, the taimanins are all knocked away by the shots fired by the strike force captain, some getting wounded as they bleed a lot.
"Pilot, take off now!" Angelo orders.
"Roger!" The pilot spoke as the airship quickly took off and its gate behind closed.
Angelo leaned against one of the inner walls of the vehicle, stared at the rescued people; then at Allistair, slowly approaching him. He puts his hand on the younger man's shoulder. "I know you are confused, as well as your team. But I assure you that we are actually fighting for the future of our kind." The younger captain stared down at the floor, sighing. "Still, you did well, once again you have proven that you will face the dangers for the well-being of others. Despite your recklesness, you held your ground well."
Allistair looked up, with a faint smile "If I do this for my fellow templars, imagine what I would do to protect my family." As he spoke, a medic started tending his wounds.
Meanwhile, at Gosha Academy, Yatsu Kuro stood in the Headmistress Igawa Asagi's office. A woman with dark blue hair that reached to her waist, green eyes, and a beautiful fair skin. The female has a serious expression on her face as she was listening to what the male taimanin was telling to her.
"I see...Thank you, Yatsu-sama. You can leave now." Asagi says as she stares at the picture one of the taimanins took of the young man. 'It's also Masahiro's adoptive brother. This means Masahiro also joined them...'
She sits on her chair as she takes off her glasses, rubbing her temples "I still can't tell Kotarou about him. Until we can find the young boy..." She looked at the ceiling without moving her head a single inch, leaning on her right hand; her elbow laying on the headmistress's desk.
End of Chapter 3-1.
