Chapter 5: Inside the Mysterious Agency
Kagome, InuYasha, and Shippo stepped out of the bright white and noticed that they weren't in the past anymore. The three stood inside a large room, the lights blinking on and off, with bodies of soldiers and scientists littering the floor. InuYasha took a hold of Tetsusaiga and moved forward scanning the large room. Shippo and Kagome both stood in shock as they walked on pools of fresh blood.
""Oh, my god. This is terrible, who could of done such a thing?" Kagome asked InuYasha. InuYasha looked down at the dead scattered on the ground and searched for any survivors. Shippo and Kagome noticed a female researcher move her hand. Kagome ran over to the severely injured and kneeled down beside her. InuYasha noticed many fragments of stone on the ground and picked a large piece up. He looked at the piece of stone and noticed it smelled of magic and youkai. Shippo ran over to InuYasha and told him of the female survivor and they both ran over to Kagome.
"Is she alive?" asked InuYasha. He stood over Kagome and looked down at the bloody researcher; the female had multiple cuts and lacerations on her body. The female researcher slowly opened her eyes and became startled when she noticed all of the dead around her.
"Who are you?" she asked in a nervous voice.
"I'm InuYasha, that's Kagome and that little thing over here is Shippo. Now, what the hell happened here?" yelled InuYasha. He bent down beside Kagome and looked the female in the eyes. "My name is Ayane…I don't remember much, last thing I recall was these two "Miko's" being brought down here. The two girls had strange powers, they were told to revive six stone soldiers and a statue of an angel. The girls began to glow and before anybody could react…the statues came to life and began to attack everybody, but the soldiers managed to contain them, when the angel…It …overwhelmed the soldiers and us…." Replied Ayane in a shaken voice. Kagome helped the young researcher stand up and walked her over to a chair. InuYasha and Shippo both followed Kagome as she helped the wounded girl to a chair.
"Ayane, can I ask you something …is there anybody else here?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, there are seventy soldiers, those two strange girls and four C.O. (Commanding Officers)." Replied Ayane. Shippo jumped onto the desk where Ayane sat and noticed that she was still bleeding from her injuries.
"Are you okay? You're still bleeding." Asked Shippo with a concerned tone. Ayane looked at Shippo and thought that she was hallucinating.
"Kagome…is it me or is there a small fox staring at me?" Ayane asked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, he's a fox demon, and you're not seeing things." Replied Kagome. Ayane felt slightly relived that she wasn't seeing things, when InuYasha turned her chair around.
"What the hell were you idiots thinking? Why did you have to revive him?" InuYasha asked. Ayane rubbed her eyes and looked at Kagome.
"Kagome? Are you sure I'm not seeing things? I swear that boy has dog ears." Ayane asked.
"I completely forgot…he's a hanyou." Answered Kagome. Ayane took a minute to believe what she was seeing and suddenly felt light headed.
"Are you okay?" asked Shippo.
"I'm sorry…I suddenly feel weak." Ayane replied. InuYasha noticed the young researcher about to fall out of the chair, when he caught her. InuYasha cleared a nearby desk of a broken computer and some scattered papers and lay the injured girl down.
"Damn! I don't think she's going to make it." InuYasha said to Kagome.
"Are you sure InuYasha?" asked Kagome.
"Yeah, she's hurt real bad. I'm surprised that she managed to wake up. Her wounds are the same as the ones the Lieutenant inflicted on me. She was cut with the Mumei Ittou. She's going to die soon." InuYasha looked at Ayane and felt some remorse for her.
"There has to be some medical supplies around here somewhere." Kagome said. She searched the room and found nothing. The room was completely destroyed; computers had been damaged by gunfire, papers were covered in blood, desks were overturned, and there was nobody else to help. Just as Kagome began to give up hope, Ayane woke up again.
"I just remembered something…I-InuYasha…you're the one the General mentioned. He and the other three Commanding Officers kept on talking about you. They're waiting for you and Kagome." Ayane said to InuYasha.
"Where are these four C.O.?" asked InuYasha. Ayane slowly began to feel tired and tried desperately to stay awake.
"They're half a mile under the mountain, but I overheard them talking once. They said that they wanted you for our research department, and that the prophecy would be fulfilled." Answered Ayane. InuYasha wondered what this had to do with the "Ancient Scrolls" he's heard multiple Agents mention.
"Ayane, where's the Akutenshi and his six soldiers now?" Kagome asked.
"The Griffin Unit was ordered to separate and contain them. The angel…he killed nine of the fifteen soldiers…in the Griffin Unit." Ayane noticed that her vision was beginning to blur and knew that she would soon die.
"InuYasha, Kagome...one of the soldiers that came back…Enzeru, he said to me that I would die…I don't know how he knew that…but, he also said that when I meet you three…to give you something….It's a strange shard of glass…I stored it in that metal box over there…he said that you would see it…" Ayane closed her eyes and Kagome shook her gently.
"Ayane! Don't fall asleep!" Kagome pleaded. InuYasha felt compelled to look for the box and wandered off.
"…K-kagome…take this…go out that door…take the elevator down….to…level……….84….." Ayane reached into her pocket and handed Kagome a small card. Kagome grabbed the card from Ayane and noticed the young researcher die. Kagome looked down at the ground and felt her heart burn with anger towards the Agency.
"How could they do this?" she thought to herself. Kagome looked at the card and noticed that it was a key-card. Shippo looked at Kagome and noticed a single tear run down her face.
"Kagome, are you okay?" asked Shippo. Kagome wiped the tear from her face and looked at Shippo.
"Yeah, don't worry about me Shippo. Where'd InuYasha go?" Kagome asked. The two looked around and noticed InuYasha trying to force open a small metal box. The two walked over and InuYasha handed the box over to Kagome.
"Open it!" InuYasha ordered. Kagome took the small metal box and noticed the words "TRI-TANIUM" etched on it. She turned the small box over and noticed a small sensor on it. Kagome put the small key-card over it and the box clicked; inside was a single shard of the shikkon jewel.
"Where do we go next?" asked Shippo. Kagome put the shard away and looked at the two boys.
"Ayane said to go down to level 84." Kagome responded. Before the three left the room a voice echoed through the large room.
"I see you made it alive and well. That's good…everything is going as predicted." Said the mysterious voice. "Since you're here, be careful not to run into our failed specimens, or our Elite Griffin Unit, or even the Akutenshi and his men. And before I forget…InuYasha, before you die, make sure that theirs enough of you left for us to salvage. After all we need your genetic material to further our research."
The three looked around in hopes of finding the speaker, when it suddenly went silent. InuYasha and Shippo both heard something dragging its feet on the solid metal floor.
"What's that sound?" asked Shippo in a scared voice.
"I don't know, but it's getting closer…" replied InuYasha. InuYasha and Shippo both heard the sound getting closer. InuYasha then caught a foul smell in the air. Kagome looked at the young hanyou and noticed that something had caught his attention.
"What is it InuYasha?" Kagome asked in a concerned voice.
"I don't know, but whatever it is…its getting closer. It smells like those altered Agents that I killed. Although, these smell different…" Replied InuYasha. Kagome, InuYasha and Shippo waited for a minute. The dragging sounds got closer and closer. The three then noticed the sound stop; it appeared to be coming from a closed door. InuYasha slowly approached the door and stood in front of it. The hanyou reached for tetsusaiga and stopped his hand near its handle. A loud banging started to come from behind the metal door. InuYasha moved back and noticed the door slowly beginning to bend. The hanyou grabbed tetsusaiga and unsheathed the phantom sword. The young hanyou took a defensive stance and prepared for whatever was trying to get in. Kagome and Shippo headed towards the other end of the room. Kagome hid behind a large overturned desk and grabbed her bow and some arrows.
"What could it be?" asked Shippo in a frightened voice. Kagome looked down at the scared fox and shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know Shippo, I don't know…" Kagome stopped mid-sentence, when the door flew off of its hinges. The doors were thrown with such force that they hit InuYasha; the hanyou didn't even have time to react. With the large security doors now gone, Kagome noticed two large creatures standing in between the metal frame. The two creatures resembled men, but their faces were horribly disfigured and their arms were tremendous in size. The two creatures wore tattered military fatigues and one of the creatures had the words "Griffin" sewn into his uniform.
"That's a Griffin?" Kagome quietly whispered. The two former soldiers noticed InuYasha slowly standing up. The two mutants slowly walked over to him while dragging their long, massive arms on the ground. InuYasha was a bit dazed from the impact of the door and gradually focused his blurred sight. Before the young hanyou got the chance to see what was in front of him, one of the creatures grabbed him by the jugular. InuYasha felt his entire body get picked up into the air, he grabbed the mutants' enormous arm with his two hands. The young hanyou focused his vision and realized that he was in deep sh**. Kagome looked on as InuYasha had the life slowly squeezed out of him. She grabbed an arrow and raised the bow into the air; she carefully aimed at the creatures back. Once she felt sure of her aim she released the long arrow. The arrow cut through the air hitting the beast in the back. The sharp arrow pierced the creatures' tough flesh and found its way to one of its kidneys. The creature gave out a loud cry, but didn't release InuYasha. The second creature noticed Kagome and Shippo taking refuge behind a desk and slowly began to walk over towards them.
Kagome trembled in fear as the second mutant gradually made his way towards her. The twisted man kicked nearby desks away and drew closer by the second. Kagome reached for another arrow and aimed at the disfigured man. She released the arrow and struck the abomination in the throat. The man remained unfazed by the arrow and continued forward.
InuYasha slowly began to lose consciousness as the hulking man gradually squeezed his throat. InuYasha tried desperately to stay awake as the mutant applied more pressure on his jugular.
"InuYasha! Help!" cried out Shippo. The large man was mere yards away now; it stumbled over some of the dead soldiers. Kagome loaded another arrow and aimed at the creature choking InuYasha. She closed her eyes and released the arrow; this one was different though. The arrow became engulfed in blue energy as it flew towards the mutant. The arrow struck the disfigured man in its back. The creature cried out in pain as the arrows power parched its leathery flesh. It released its grip on InuYasha and dropped him on the ground. The creature attempted to pull the arrow out of its back, but its massive arms couldn't reach it. The mutant staggered around the room and became engulfed with the blue energy. The mutant was then completely engulfed in the energy and disintegrated into a black ash.
InuYasha lay on the floor in disbelief and turned to look towards Kagome. The hanyou noticed the second freak mere feet away from her. He looked on the ground and noticed tetsusaiga a few inches away; he quickly grabbed the sword and stood up. InuYasha darted towards the disfigured man and swung tetsusaiga at its back. The razor sharp sword sliced across the man's back and tore its tough flesh wide open. The mutant stopped dead in its tracks and turned to face InuYasha. The young hanyou was in shock that the mutant appeared to be unaffected by its large wound.
"Kagome! Shippo! Get the hell out of here!" yelled InuYasha. Kagome and Shippo both ran towards the nearest exit and left InuYasha alone with the large man.
"So, you're tougher than you look." InuYasha said in an unyielding voice. The strong mutant looked InuYasha in the eyes. The former man had blood running out of its mouth and swung its massive arm at InuYasha. The hanyou was sent flying into the air by the phenomenal blow. InuYasha crashed into nearby desk and fell on top of a dead researcher. He stood up and noticed that the mutant had cut him across the chest with its razor sharp claws. InuYasha wiped the dripping blood off of his haori and lunged at the mindless mutant. InuYasha raised tetsusaiga into the air and swung it at the man's head. The disfigured man effortless blocked the attack and grabbed InuYasha by the wrists'. InuYasha kicked the man in his face and tried to break loose of his grip.
Meanwhile, Kagome and Shippo peeked inside of the room and noticed InuYasha having trouble fighting the last mutant.
"We should do something, InuYasha is in trouble" pleaded Shippo. Kagome looked around and noticed a locked room behind her. The door had a small sign next to it, the sign read: Authorized Personal Only! Armory. Kagome looked around and approached the metal door. The young girl noticed a key card reader similar to the one on the small black box. Kagome put the card next to the device and the locking mechanisms on the door opened. Kagome and Shippo both opened the heavy door and entered the room. Inside was a tremendous collection of weapons, guns, machine-guns, chain-guns, shotguns, large cattle prods, strange arrows, even some bizarre swords and daggers.
"I not sure what I should use." Kagome said in an uncertain voice. Kagome walked over to the arrows and noticed that some had explosive heads and others were laced with cyanide. She carefully grabbed as many as she could store in the bag on her back. Both her and Shippo exited the room and closed the large door and ran to help InuYasha.
InuYasha slowly began to blackout and realized that his heart was slowing down. Kagome and Shippo both entered the room and noticed InuYasha barely motionless now. Shippo jumped onto Kagome's shoulder and reached for an arrow and handed it to her. Kagome looked at the arrow and noticed that it was laced with cyanide. Kagome reluctantly placed the arrow on the bow and pulled back. She held the arrow steady and released it. The arrow traveled across the large room and struck the mutant in the back of the head. It let out a loud ear-piercing cry and released InuYasha. The hanyou fell to the ground barely able to move. Shippo handed another arrow to Kagome and she noticed that it read: CAUTION! Explosive-Tip Handle With Care! Kagome took a deep breath and fired the arrow at the large abomination. The creature noticed the arrow flying towards it and reached out to catch it. The man's enormous hand and arm exploded into a fine mist of blood and bone. The man cried out in pain and flailed its remaining arm violently in the air. InuYasha woke up to the sound of the small explosion and noticed that the creature was severely hurt. He grabbed tetsusaiga off the ground and swung it upwards. The phantom sword cut the mutated man from underneath the right hip to its left shoulder. The top portion of the mutant fell to the ground and painted the floor with its thick red blood. InuYasha put tetsusaiga back into its sheath and preformed his "Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer" attack and shredded the remains of the man.
InuYasha wiped the blood off of his face and turned to Kagome and Shippo. He took a deep breath and walked over to the young girl.
"Its about time you did something! I was nearly killed while you and Shippo just stood there and watched!" yelled InuYasha.
"You're welcome!" Kagome replied in a sarcastic voice. Kagome turned around, with Shippo still on her shoulder, and walked away.
"Kagome…wait!" shouted InuYasha as Kagome continued walking towards two elevator doors. InuYasha caught up to her and the three stopped in front of the large elevator.
"You should at least thank Kagome…" Shippo whispered to InuYasha.
"Kagome…thanks…" InuYasha said to Kagome in a low voice. Kagome felt surprised that InuYasha was thanking her, she turned to him and smiled. Kagome looked above the elevator door and noticed that it was making its way up to them. Within a few minutes the large elevator opened and inside were more dead soldiers and researchers. Either Akutenshi or his soldiers had cut them all into pieces. The three warily entered the elevator and Kagome looked at the panel inside and pressed the button that lead to level 84. The two large doors closed and the elevator began its descent to the desired level.
"What do you think is down there?" Kagome asked.
"To be honest with you Kagome, I'm not so sure I even want to know." Replied InuYasha.
"Kagome, how did you make that weird man explode with that blue arrow?" asked Shippo.
"I don't know…" Kagome replied.
"Shippo's right, I've never seen you fire an arrow that…well, strange." InuYasha added. Kagome wondered to herself on what she did to make the arrow glow like that. She thought for a minute and couldn't think of anything. One thing did come to mind though, she remembered when she first entered the well and Lady Centipede grabbed her. She remembered how she managed to sever the demons arm off. Could that have anything to do with what she just did.
Shippo looked up at the numbers above the door and noticed that they were seconds away from level 84. InuYasha raised his head and noticed some faint sounds coming from below.
"Shippo do you hear that sound?" asked InuYasha.
"Yeah, it sounds like people fighting and screaming." Answered Shippo.
The elevator stopped on level 84 and the door slowly opened up. They stood before multiple men in military uniforms firing at six samurai warriors. The soldiers appeared to be getting slaughtered, Kagome stood in shock as the seemingly unstoppable samurai cut through the soldiers.
"InuYasha…we have to do something." Kagome pleaded with InuYasha to help the men. The hanyou reluctantly agreed and walked out of the elevator. Ten of the remaining soldiers noticed InuYasha stepping out of the elevator and stopped firing. The surviving soldiers ran towards an exit behind them and left InuYasha to deal with the samurai.
"Damn cowards!" yelled InuYasha at the fleeing soldiers. The six samurai turned and noticed InuYasha standing before them. The hanyou pulled out tetsusaiga and stood his ground. Kagome and Shippo walked out of the elevator and noticed severed limbs and lifeless bodies on the ground.
"InuYasha, be careful!" Kagome yelled. Kagome and Shippo looked towards the door where the soldiers had escaped. InuYasha held tetsusaiga tightly and watched as the six emotionless samurai began to circle around him.
"Lets do this!" InuYasha shouted. The hanyou swung tetsusaiga in a full circle striking all six warriors with tetsusaiga. A strange crimson colored liquid shot out of the six warriors. The strange thick liquid appeared to be blood. The six samurai fell to the ground and remained motionless.
"Feh, that was easy!" InuYasha said in a confident voice. The young hanyou walked over the fallen warriors, when he felt someone grab his ankle. He looked down and noticed one of the samurai grabbing him.
"What the hell!" InuYasha muttered as he noticed the other five warriors slowly begin to stand up. InuYasha kicked the samurai grabbing his ankle and moved back. The six samurai unsheathed their swords, which were covered in blood. InuYasha gave a sadistic smile and swung tetsusaiga at a nearby samurai. The soldier stumbled backwards as tetsusaiga sliced through its throat. The samurai moved its head forward and cracked its neck.
"What…how could they have survived?" InuYasha whispered to himself. Shippo handed Kagome an explosive arrow and aimed at the lead samurai. She aimed at its back and fired the arrow at it. The arrow shot across the room and hit the samurai dead in the back. The arrow exploded upon impact and sent the warrior flying forward. InuYasha swung tetsusaiga at the incoming samurai and severed the warrior in two. The samurai's severed body crashed against the steel wall behind him. The five remaining samurai darted towards InuYasha and all five simultaneously stabbed him in the stomach. InuYasha felt the sharp swords pierce his stomach, and unable to act fast enough he dropped tetsusaiga.
Shippo quickly handed Kagome another arrow and she blindly fired it at the samurai. The arrow struck one behind the head. The samurai remained unaffected by the arrow imbedded in its skull. Shippo handed Kagome an explosive arrow and she quickly fired it at another samurai. The arrow exploded on a samurai's back, knocking it down on the ground.
"Nothing seems to hurt these guys!" cried out Shippo. Kagome noticed the samurai that was severed in two reattaching itself to its lower torso. The samurai successfully put its self back and stood right back up. The other samurai (the one that was struck with the explosive arrow) began to stand up too. Shippo handed Kagome another arrow and she felt helpless as InuYasha stood there with five swords stuck in him. Kagome closed her eyes and hoped that it find its target; unknown to her the arrow began to glow. She released the arrow and opened her eye's, she noticed the same strange blue energy around it too. The arrow cut through the air and struck a samurai in the arm. The samurai pulled his sword out of InuYasha and dropped its sword. The samurai walked erratically and tried desperately to pull the arrow out of its arm. It managed to pull the arrow out and the samurai's arm slowly began to turn into stone. The samurai grabbed its sword and slowly walked towards Kagome and Shippo.
Just as Shippo was about to hand Kagome another arrow he noticed the large metal doors (the ones the soldiers ran out to) gradually begin to open. Shippo pointed to the door and Kagome wondered who could be coming out. InuYasha felt the blood dripping from the swords and used his strength to push the four samurai away. The four samurai fell to the ground and InuYasha picked up tetsusaiga. The hanyou pulled the four swords from his stomach and jumped towards Kagome. He fell to the ground and noticed the six samurai headed towards them.
"InuYasha are you alright?" Kagome asked. Shippo pulled on Kagomes shirt and pointed towards the opening door. Two young girls in black clothing stepped into the room, both of the girls looked identical.
"Who the hell are they?" InuYasha said in an exhausted voice. The six samurai stopped and turned around and noticed the two young girls. Both of the young girls raised their arms into the air and a bright red light engulfed their hands.
"MOUKOUGEKI! (FIERCE ATTACK!)" Shouted the two girls. The six samurai were thrown into the air by a burst of magic. The samurai smashed into the metal wall and slowly began to stand back up.
"Did you just see what they did Kagome!" asked Shippo in an excited voice. The two young girls aimed their hands to the samurai. Their hands began to glow again…
"CHUUWA! (NEUTRALIZE!)" The two young girls shouted simultaneously. The six samurai became engulfed in the light and shielded their faces. The six warriors turned back into stone once the bright light disappeared.
Kagome held InuYasha and couldn't believe the intense powers that the two girls had.
"Kagome…What just happened?" asked InuYasha.
"I'm not sure." Kagome replied. The two young girls walked over to Kagome and stood in front of her.
"Are you Kagome?" one of the two girls asked.
"Yes…how do you know my name?" asked Kagome.
"My name is Kasumi, and we know a great deal about you…I see that InuYasha is severely injured. Let me heal him." Kasumi asked. Kasumi bent down beside InuYasha and put her hands on his chest. The young girls hands became to glow…
"Zenkai!" Kasumi whispered. InuYasha felt a warm sensation all over his body and he noticed the injuries begin to heal.
"Hey, how'd you do that?" InuYasha asked. The young girl smiled at him and stood up.
"Me and my sister are Miko's. My sisters name is Aya." Answered Kasumi. Shippo and Kagome both looked towards the stone warriors and still couldn't believe that these two girls were able to stop them. Kasumi and Aya both looked down at Shippo and stood there fascinated by the little fox.
"Who's he? I don't think I got your name." asked Kasumi.
"Who me? My name is Shippo!" The small fox replied with a big smile on his face.
"Who were those strange samurai?" asked InuYasha, interrupting Shippo.
"Those were six of the Akutenshi's warriors. There are forty-four others, but we haven't awakened them." Replied Aya.
"Why did you have to awaken them?" asked InuYasha.
"We had no choice, the four generals ordered us to do so. They handed us a single shard of the shikkon jewel and commanded that we awaken them." Replied Aya.
"Sister, we have to go." Ordered Kasumi.
"Wait! Where are you to going?" asked Kagome.
"We're sorry, but we've said to much. That and we have to be somewhere else right now. We weren't even supposed to heal InuYasha." Answered Aya. The two girls quickly ran off towards the door that they came through.
"I wonder what they meant by that?" Shippo asked.
"They said that they weren't supposed to help me." InuYasha added.
Kagome looked at InuYasha and noticed that his wounds were fully healed. She put her hand on InuYasha's chest and felt that there wasn't even a scar. InuYasha noticed Kagome's hand on him and felt a strange feeling come over him.
"K-Kagome, why are you feeling on my chest?" asked InuYasha. Kagome quickly took her hand off of InuYasha.
"I'm sorry, it's just that…well…t-they fully healed your injuries. Its hard for me to believe that they're Miko's" Kagome said while standing up. InuYasha stood up and looked towards the open doors.
"I guess we should go in that direction." InuYasha said in an unsure voice.
"I thought that they were nice." Shippo said in an overjoyed voice.
The three walked towards the large metal doors and entered. Inside the room were many artifacts, weapons, and many old scrolls. Kagome walked over to the scrolls and read through some of the ancient papers.
"What did you find?" asked Shippo.
"These scrolls…they mention US." Kagome answered.
"Are those the scrolls that the Agents kept on mentioning?" asked InuYasha.
"Yeah…" Kagome replied while reading through the old documents.
"What do they say?" asked Shippo.
Kagome read through many scrolls and came upon some that mentioned different people. She read the scrolls and one mentioned Sango and Miroku; unfortunately the scroll was missing important pieces. Another ancient scroll mentioned a person named Naraku, and that scroll was also damaged. She finally came upon a scroll that mentioned them inside the military facility.
"So does it mention what's going on right now?" asked InuYasha.
"It does…" Kagome answered.
"Well, what does it say?" InuYasha asked impatiently.
"It says that we were supposed to die at the hands of those samurai. InuYasha…you were supposed to die first. Then once they killed you, I was next…" Kagome said in an upset voice.
"Then why aren't we dead?" InuYasha asked.
"I don't know…" Kagome whispered. InuYasha stood there uncertain of what to say next. InuYasha and Shippo both stood next to a disheartened Kagome. The three wondered what they did to change their fates. Was it Aya and Kasumi's interfering? Was it because Shippo was allowed to come with them? What could it be? Whatever caused the change; they knew that they still had to stop the Akutenshi from escaping the military facility.

Well, It's almost finished…
Send any comments, questions or reviews to me. I'll gladly read them and write back if needed.
I can't really say what the next chapter is about (I'm still debating which way to go on it); I have five different outcomes lined up.
It'll either be A: GOOD OUTCOME B: TRAGIC C: SOME CLOSURE, AND THEY STOP THE AKUTENSHI, BUT NOT THE FOUR GENERALS. D: GENERALS DIE AND SO DO THE TWO MIKO'S, BUT THE AKUTENSHI ESCAPES. E: BLOODY BATTLE, CHAOS AND ANARCHY BREAK LOOSE INSIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN. Feel free to suggest one.
