KG: Okay so I don't have much of a life other than writing so here's another chapter for you're reading pleasure. So far! 0 reviews. C'mon people I want to know how I'm doing. Now that I think of it, I kind of regret blowing off the legs of Kazuma so I'll make it up to you guys. Haha. Seriously I was up all night deciding if I should do it or not and once I turned it in, it was too late.
DAD: Yeah it was gay I was like "fucking KG" you better make it up to us faggot.
KG: Anyway now the best part of the introduction. I don't own Scryed or the characters and I'm not their boss. This story was made so that I could make Kazuma an epic hero and smash people's faces in then mutilate their body. Enjoy

Kazuma woke up. Everything, the fighting, running, hiding, it was all a blur. It felt like a dream but the pain that coursed through his body assured him of the realization. In fear of looking down, he kept his head straightforward, staring at the white ceiling above him, listening to the beeping of his heart on the monitor. Waiting…waiting…waiting…

"Kazuma right? You're awake, good." A doctor in white walked into the room. "You should be back to normal in no time. The sedative looks like it's wearing off so you should be good to leave here soon."

"In a…wheel chair?" he asked nervously

The doctor chuckled and once realizing Kazuma's seriousness he replied to him. "Of course not you have reconstructed legs you're fine. Where'd you get such insurance though its amazing."

"What…?" Kazuma, now dumbstruck, didn't know what to say.

"A doctor. Bioengineer guy. Says in your records that there was a back up plan for lost limbs, damaged brain cells, cancer, etceteras, that we can contact this guy and you got whatever you lost."

"I never asked this guy…" Kazuma started but ended his sentence as a man walked in. The same scientist that came along with Zero-Two K and although Kazuma didn't see the man, alive or die by his hands in the truck, Zero-Two K would definitely recognize him.

"You can stand up now." Kazuma did. "You're probably wondering how this happened correct?"

"Yes of course!" Kazuma was confused on this whole incident. He had to get some answers.

"Doctor, leave."

"Yes Mr. Mitogawa."

"It was actually all an accident. Those clones are considered as you and we had to give them the proper coverage in case they had died. The three important people you killed in that town are alive again, it didn't really matter whether you killed them or not. Zero-Three K, Zero-One K, and I were all killed by you, we were reported KIA and here we are. I both of them standing right outside this door waiting for you to step out. If I was aware you would get your ability to walk back, trust me you'd still be handicap," he sneered.

"That's too bad…" Kazuma turned to the window and looked down and saw he was placed on the highest story, sixteen full stories up.

"You're not getting away. We apprehended Zero-Two K so it won't be long until he's here also. Also, don't even think about turning into your alter form. My clones have no problem dropping sixteen stories."

"Me neither."

Kazuma turned into his alter form and on cue, the two clones stepped inside the door and rushed him. He turned around and punched the window out, grabbed his clothes that lay on the bedpost and jumped out.

"Exterminating First Bullet!" he screamed, punching ten meters before he hit the ground. The sonic boom that followed blew out the first and second story windows.

A truck pulled up in front of his way. He saw Zero-Two K in the passenger seat.

"Exterminating Second Bullet!"

The truck molded around his fist as it smashed and exploded. The two clones landed right behind him. Instead of staying around for the punishment, he booked it to the crowded streets. He found a trashed alleyway and decided to sit there for a while and get dressed.

It felt good getting into his clothes again except he missed the luxury of underwear and now he had no shoes.

"Hey mister!" a little boy yelped.

"Oh hey, who are you?" Kazuma asked.

"Ichiro, what are you doing here mister?" the boy interrogated.

"I'm running away from people. Do you know where I can get shoes?"

"Sure why do you need shoes?"

"Because I don't have any. Where can you get me the shoes?"

"From a store, who are you running away from?" another question.

"Look kid, get me some black shoes or leave." Situation simplified.

The kid took off without another word. Kazuma wasn't sure if he was leaving to get shoes or leaving him to rot in the alleyway but surprisingly, less than ten minutes later, the boy came back with shoes that still had the tag and a pair of white socks.

"Thanks, here it's the only thing I got now," he said giving the boy the comb he was given from Kenji.

"No thanks you keep it mister I don't need that."

"Okay thanks." He slid it back into his pocket. "Look I have to leave," he continued, "I have to find a-"

"What's that on your stomach?" Ichiro interrupted.

Kazuma looked down and saw the blood seeping through his shirt. He lifted the shirt and found a deep scar where his appendix would be, should be. Screeching tires were heard and two trucks blocked off both sides of the alleyway. Kazuma grabbed the boy and ran at the truck at the end of the alleyway; opposite of the way he came.

"Exterminating Last Bullet!"

The car flew back and ricocheted off the wall, killing whoever was in there. Gunfire sprayed the ground behind them as Kazuma left the alley. With the hand that wasn't carrying Ichiro, he dug his fingers into his stomach, reaching for anything that should be an appendix or otherwise.

"Gotcha," he said painfully.

He took his thumb and index finger out to find a metallic chip, smothered with blood. Then throwing it a few meters ahead of him, he dug the soles of the new black shoes he acquired and shattered the chip.

Another alleyway is spotted and he heads for it. He roughly puts Ichiro down and puts one hand on his shoulder, luckily it was his clean hand.

"Sorry I got you into this mess, I'm going to go. Bye little guy stay out of trouble." Kazuma turned away to run again when more tires screeched.

A truck pulled up next to the alleyway. The passenger's door was kicked open and a flurry of gunfire was shoved into Ichiro's body.

"God fucking damnit!" he yelled as he ran to the other end of the alleyway.

He was feeling woozy from the blood that kept seeping out of the hole. However, after a good thirty minutes of running, he figured that he was far enough away from them for it to take a few hours until they caught his trail.

Again. Again he lost another person he started to care for. Everybody who came in contact with him ended up dead.

"Why does this keep happening…?" he questioned himself

He looked down at the shoes Ichiro had gotten him. The black, non-labeled shoes with black, thin shoelaces and the pair of white socks with that store-bought smell. Kazuma sighed and raised his chin up to look at the wall in front of him. The doctor made it seem like he died and so did the two clones. Why was it only three clones existed and one doctor? This questioned lingered in his mind.

For a while, he just walked. Looking down at the ground and thinking. Not minding the shoving people had done to get by him. It didn't really matter anymore.

"Oh my wonderful Zero-Two K. You're the only one I ever perfected I'm glad I didn't lose you."

"Dr. Mitogawa?" Zero-Two asked shakily.

"Yes it's me. You and me were both lucky. Our brain wasn't destroyed letting us still have our memories." Mitogawa told him.

"Your brothers however are just scrap. Now I want you to do something for me; kill Kazuma but don't mess up his upper half too much. We need to find out how to make alter users," he told him.

"I'll leave with my brothers and get him."

Kazuma finally looked up. This was so familiar. Where had he seen this place before? He looked up the street. Flowers; there were hundreds of flowers. Lush, green trees and a variety of colors blooming from each one. Niwa Street. He was here days or weeks ago. After he had gotten his legs replaced, he didn't know what day it was or how many days had passed since it happened.

"I knew you'd come back here," Zero-Two K stood there with the other two clones. Zero-Two was the only one smirking. The other two stood emotionless, hands behind there back, legs spread evenly at a shoulder's length. Both of them staring directly into Kazuma's eyes, unmovable, not blinking.

Zero-Two K slid his right foot back, cocking his right hand as he did and bending his knees, a common fighting stance. With his left hand he snapped and the two clones rushed Kazuma, taking short and shallow breaths, still not blinking.

A flurry of strikes came to Kazuma's head but all of them missed their target, just striking air where his head used to occupy. The odds were against him. Three Kazuma's against an alter who exhausted his alter power.

Kazuma gave his first strike, a roundhouse to the lower ribs on the right side of Zero-Three, and was accompanied by the well-known crack of the ribs. He followed up with a left hook to the temple, smashing his skull in and allowing his hand to penetrate through the skull and end up at the other side, the brain being spilt out over the concrete.

"That was for Ichiro…" he told himself.

Zero-One gave a clean blow to the face and watched Kazuma's eyes squint in pain. He doubled over and tasted the blood in his mouth from his teeth cutting open his bottom lip. He spit the blood on the ground and brought himself up, giving a swift kick to the kneecap, busting it out. Zero-One fell to the ground, not giving any signs of pain or distress; just him crawling awkwardly toward Kazuma, grabbing at the air. Kazuma brought his knee to the man's face, smashing the nose in and undoubtfully breaking it.

Kazuma felt strange pounding these men. They were made of the same atoms he was made out of. His own flesh and blood. Except they had a different motive for killing. Kazuma pushed away the idea that these men were him and stopped hesitating. He then took his right hand and smashed in the man's skull.

"That one…that one was for Kasumi and Kenji."

Then stepping on it and feeling the brain squashing and vibrating at the soles of his shoes. He looked up to see if Zero-Two K was still in the area and saw him. Crouching in the same position he had been when he ordered the two clones to attack.

"As long as the doctor's brain still operates, we're just going to keep coming back. The other clones activate once we die. He has thousands and thousands of clones but only three are able to work at a time and soon, they're going to be three that operate and have the outstanding ability to turn into alters."

"I'll just kill the doctor then," he told Zero-Two K. "This time I won't be losing anything accept the will to kill you."

Zero-Two K ran at Kazuma full speed and struck as hard as he could with his right and, destroying only air particles. Kazuma had sidestepped and had his alter form ready for a full on punch to the kidneys.

Kazuma let it loose and destroyed the whole organ. Zero-Two K was ejected off of Kazuma's hand and was shot at against the same wall that was sprayed with 45. Caliber, armor piercing round bullets; but was now painted with the glistening perspiration of Zero-Two K's body. Kazuma looked at his alter formed hand.

"I've had enough blood stain these hands than any fountain could wash clean. Any more would be dust on the shelf."

Without contemplating on whether he should kill Zero-Two K or not, he smashed his hand into the dying corpse's head, exterminating any life left in that man.

"That's a win," he said to himself.

After the incident, he spent a few weeks getting cleaned up. New clothes, a job, a shave, an apartment and a cat he found on his walk home from work. He worked at the gun store that he had stole the guns from, working it off but reluctantly, the man only made him pay half and the rest was for his own leaving. He learned that the biggest building in Nishi City was Takai Building. The biggest bioengineering building in this part of the world.

Kazuma left his apartment, petting the stray cat he had yet to name and giving it a plate of milk before taking off towards the building. Even before he reached the front doors, two guards stopped him.

"Sir you can't be here you have to leave," Guard One said.

"Yeah…wait a second, he's Kazuma!" Guard Two exclaimed.

"Before they could make another move, Kazuma punched both of them in the throat, probably leaving their Adam's apple demolished.

He entered into the front lobby and saw the look of terror on the clerk's face. She was obviously unprepared for this and it took her a few moments to realize "Red button mean's 'GO'."

She mashed the button and hid behind the computer on the counter. Kazuma, who had no remorse for the death of anybody, went behind the counter and crushed the woman's ribcage, placing his foot in between her well-rounded breasts and slamming it to the ground. Since his friends and the people who couldn't even start to care for were killed in front of his eyes, he didn't feel in shame in killing this woman.

Guards rushed out of all the doors, guns ready and aiming at Kazuma. He hopped over the counter and put his back against it as they pounded round after round into the front counter. After a pause, Kazuma came back up.

"Exterminating First Bullet!"

The lobby was gone. Doors were torn open and the paint scorched off of the walls. He extended his knees all the way when the sonic boom came; rocking the bottom structure and hearing the building crack and sway from it being too tall and unable to withstand large earthquakes. Kazuma went back outside to the corporation's road and watched a minivan pull up next to him. The man from the gun store came out and opened the side of the van showing numerous pounds of dynamite.

"I owe you one," he told the man.

"Eh no problem. I'll make my way back to the shop. See you when you get back," showing an odd certainty that Kazuma was going to come out alive.

Kazuma climbed into the driver's seat and drove the car into the lobby, smashing the automatic glass doors. He proceeded to open the side of the van and pull out two hundred pounds of dynamite. He then walked into the right elevator and extended the long, silver antennae. He pressed the number forty-two and waited until he saw the light say twenty to go over to the computer and press "shutdown elevator one".

Two hundred more pounds of dynamite was then placed into the left elevator. The antennae was extended and it was off to reach the three fourth's mark of the building but was stopped at the half mark on front counter's computer.

Another hundred pounds was lifted out of the car as he walked up the stairs to the thirtieth floor, Dr. Mitogawa's office. The place was oddly empty accept a few encounters with guards along the stairway but a simple push off the edge and the problem was solved.

Once he reached it, he opened the door and placed them right on the desk, again, for the third and final time, extending the long, silver antennae. One last stroll down to the building's lobby. He went to the computer and hit "continue" and walked to the van again. Taking out the remaining dynamite. This was the grand finale. Five hundred pounds of nitrogen about to be split and decimate the entire building. He finally got into the van and backed it up. After the seven floors he expected to be gone, the building wouldn't be able to support itself and fall on the dynamite, igniting it and blowing anything remaining sky high. He backed the van onto the corporation road and stopped.

He got out and took a sleek, black remote out of his jacket's pocket and pressed the only button on there. The first bomb went off and deleted three floors. The one above floor forty-two and below it. Taking out all of the facilities' clones. The next one that went off exploded the top floor, radio transmission and power, and the floor below that, just a storage room with a bunch of explosive chemicals, exploding again and taking out the floor below that, a working unit for underlings. Another one went right on cue and blew out the thirtieth floor. There wasn't enough to collapse the floor above it and below it but it was sure to weaken the structure. It then bent at an odd angle and collapsed in on itself. Once half the building was collapsed, enough pressure was applied for it to detonate. The ground shook and car alarms went off over the whole complex.

Kazuma turned around and reached for the car door when a despicable laugh came out of Dr. Mitogawa's mouth.

"As long as I'm still alive and with memory of all the information on cloning, it will be impossible for you to stop me and what will happen. I came prepared however and re-made Zero-Two K. A blood-thirsty machine who is now obedient and doesn't have a free will like he used to," the Dr. explained.

"I don't care. You and him are going to die," Kazuma told them.

Zero-Two K looked at Kazuma. His body willing to fight but his eyes in deep sorrow and agony. He rushed forward and with lightning speed, cut the air in front of Kazuma and followed up with a punch to his chest, sending Kazuma propelling backwards and smashing into the van, toppling it over. Zero-Two K ran after the fallen Kazuma and lashed out a few kicks to Kazuma's midsection. In defense, Kazuma kicked the Achilles tendon of Zero-Two K's right foot and tripped him to the ground, giving him a moment to stand up and fight back.

Zero-Two K quickly jumped up and gave an explosive kick to Kazuma's head. Kazuma, who was no match in speed to the new and improved Zero-Two K, took it straight on and fell to the ground ten meters away. He got back up as Zero-Two rushed him for another assault.

"Exterminating Second Bullet!"

He landed the punch into Zero-Two's gut and flung him towards Mitogawa. The doctor fell back and scrambled to the decimated building, sitting near smoldering rubble. Zero-Two K got back up lunged at Kazuma with a jumping kick. Kazuma grabbed the right ankle of Zero-Two K and used his last attack on his knee; punching the front of it and making the leg bend the opposite way.

"Extermination Last Bullet!"

He took a grenade out and pulled the pin, then shoved it in Zero-Two K's mouth.

"I'm returning the favor," he whispered to him.

Kazuma dove for cover and ended up a few feet away from the doctor.

"This can't be! He was so much stronger and faster than you!" Mitogawa screamed feverishly.

"Yes but he hadn't gotten any smarter."

"Please don't! Don't!" he told Kazuma.

Kazuma didn't hesitate. He rammed his knuckles into the top of Mitogawa's head, exploding it like a pumpkin.

"Game over."

He wished this was going to be the first time he would walk away without a sense of loss. However, he felt more lost and uncertain of himself as he walked to his one-room apartment, than he had when he lost Kanami, than he had when he lost, Kimishima, and Kasumi, Kenji, the old man, Ichiro. They didn't amount to this now. His feelings sucked in a void. Only after he experienced the sunset behind him and watching the moonrise from the edges of the eastern plains where he started, did he appreciate what had happened. He may have lost everything, but he was still alive and had a future ahead of him. None of their deaths would be left in vain.

KG: Well he solved all his problems and story is over! I'll do other fics later but I'm going to take a few minutes to breathe haha. I've been writing wayyy too long for the past few weeks. I have another story I'm putting into I have the same penname btw if you want to search it later but it'll be about midday tomorrow until my first chapter is up. (7/18/05) Okay so in thanks that I finished the story without killing Kazuma like I was thinking about doing, you should give me some reviews so I know whats up. I don't want to be left in the dark about my story! Thank you very much bye!

Translation:

Niwa: garden

Nishi: West

Azuma: East

Takai: tall

See the pattern? If it was a tall building I said tall in Japanese and building in English etc! Haha I thought it was crafty but I'm just like that. Anyway if you want to bother with reading something less fictional then go to tomorrow (7/18/05) and check out my story. The first part should be up by then hopefully! Oh and I might start two fics later next month while I'm on vacation in San Diego. One for Saiyuki and another for Gungrave if you're interested in any of those to anime. And if you've never heard of them then go check them out! I only write fics for awesome anime! Bye guys!
