Scryed
Chapter 3
"That is all." Zigmarl turned in his seat, facing away from Ryuho, Cougar, and a small group of various alter users. "You may leave." He sighed.
Ryuho stood there while the others left, then upon hearing the door shut, he put his hands on the desk. "MISTER ZIGMARL! THOSE ARE CLASS C ALTER USERS! HOW CAN YOU PUT ME AND COUGAR IN A GROUP WITH THEM!"
"They need to be trained Ryuho…" Zigmarl looked over. "Who better to do so than Ryuho and Cougar?"
"Can't Urizane or Sheries do it? This is disgraceful!" Ryuho snapped, growling a little as he curled in his fingers.
"Ryuho… Do you want to capture those destructive native alters or not? Now go out there and do your job…"
"Yes… Vesta Maxfell…" She growled, pulling the small daggers from her chest. "My brother needed me and you went and killed him!"
"He threatened to kill innocent kids! We had no choice." Kazuma said sternly. "If I had known the explosives weren't fake, I wouldn't have attacked him…"
"YOU STILL KILLED MY DAMNED BROTHER!" Vesta screamed and drew out both her swords. "You have one strike left Kazuma… You better use it… CAUSE I'M GOING TO AVENGE EMERGY MAXFELL!" she leapt forward.
Kazuma pulled in his fist. "Very well." And launched himself forward. He spun as the last fin broke, and then punched forward, connecting with both of the blades.
Energy filled the air and both of them pushed forward, trying to get towards the other. Vesta breathed heavily and forced herself to push. Kazuma growled but looked like he was enjoying it. Both the swords and his arm began to crack under the strain. It was now a contest to see who would break first…
The winner was Vesta.
Kazuma's shot burst past the blades and struck her full force, sending the female alter user flying backwards. She crashed into the ground and pieces of her alter flew off. One wing disappeared, while her left arm disappeared, showing her normal arm beneath it. Various pieces fell off elsewhere, as she laid breathing heavily.
"Ready to give up?" she heard, and she gasped. Looking up at her opponent. "I said, are you ready to give up?"
"You'd… .give me… that option…? An option you didn't even give my brother?"
"I did give it to him…" Kazuma sneered.
"I… I see." Vesta's face was revealed now, and she smiled weakly. "Kazuma… help me up…"
Kazuma's arm faded away as the rest of Vesta's alter did. He helped her to her feet with a slight grunt.
"I guess I'll see you later Kazuma… I have work to do." She then started to just, walk away. "Oh. I heard Tachibana was Missing… do you know where he is?"
"No.. I don't. but I know he's alive somewhere…" Kazuma responded. He turned to Kimishima and smiled. "That was fun."
"So now what?" his friend stood up slowly and leaned to one side.
"This…" Kazuma turned around. "Her Vesta!" he called, getting her attention and making her turn around. "I'm sorry about Emergy. If I had known he had a sister… I would have only knocked him out…"
"It'll be alright Kazuma…" She returned a polite smile that Kazuma was giving her. "It'll be alright."
"Hm… He didn't finish her…" Zigmarl watched the screen the Eilean was showing him. "Why?"
"Well he did kill her brother." Eilean said. "He felt remorse I guess… But Sir, look at this…" A picture in picture appeared of Vesta's palms. In her left palm, Was a blue gem. In the right, a red one. "I believe this is the source of her powers…"
"So what do you propose? That we take her to the mainland to refine her powers?" Zigmarl threw his idea into the pot.
"No… she's heading to the Alter forest… most likely, she'll be able to unlock her power there…" Eilean looked over at Martin. "So we just have to wait…" Eilean then ran a hand through his own horrible hair style.
"You Holy bastards!" A man thrust his hand forward, several chunks flying from the rocks around him to start and form what looked like a tiger. "EAT THIS!"
Zetsusei's ribbons wound themselves around the man, pinning his arms down and breaking concentration on his alter, which faded away. "This hunt you bastards have is out of hand!"
"Silence Native." Ryuho growled. "I will not allow such rubbish to run around the Lost ground and infect it like a virus!"
"DAVID HELP!" a woman cried, trying to run from a moving battering ram. The ram pulled back, then fired, hitting the girl in the back, sending her face first into a rock with a sick crack, she fell backwards and stopped moving.
The man looked over, then went wide eyed. "Jessica? JESSICA! HOLD ON! I'M COMING!" he screamed, struggling against the ribbons.
"You and her will be arrested. You can take care of her once in custody. Mike. Check on the woman…"
The owner of the battering ram grimaced when he looked at the woman's face and then looked away. "Um… yeah. She's… dead…"
"DEAD? DEAD! YOU LITTLE BASTARDS! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" David leapt forward and Zetsusei tightened his ribbons. The man stopped and fell to the ground. " how could you…? How could you!"
"BOOM BOOM SUPRIZE!" was heard behind the rocks as another group of native alters were attacked. The screams slowly died to nothing, and the holy member was heard whimpering before muttering "I'm so dead…"
Ryuho growled and looked them over. "Mike. Get that other user over here now. Cougar. Cuff this one, put him in a containment truck… I have to talk to those other alter users… This accident isn't going to go unnoticed…"
"Earlier Today, about 7 people were killed by Holy members when they surprised the holy group. A nameless person gave us this footage…" a reporter read off her paper before the image changed to a video of the people being killed, and Ryuho watching all of this.
Zigmarl looked away, Kazuma punched his TV, Ryuho looked to the floor, and Kimishima coughed up something he had been chewing.
"Many are not sure what to think of holy now, but Holy is going to pay the families of those men for the Accidental death."
"ACCIDENT MY ASS!" Kazuma screamed, kicking over his television. "Holy's going too far this time. Its just like when we tried to attack them…" Images flashed in Kazuma's mind of Tachibana, a holy truck, a giant watermelon… ambushed… Ryuho…
"Kazuma… they took Ayasae… you have to go stop them… she's…. Going to go… to the…. Mainland…." Kimishima fell over in his truck, passing out…
Kazuma wouldn't forget those events… he was going to make Holy pay for that, and now for this… He wouldn't forget them until he was sure everyone was punished…
((yeah I know the chapters kinda short… oh well.. the next one should be longer… if not… well. I dunno. There'll be a long one soon.))
