Chapter 3: The Saddest Moment of Our Lives
Zelos and Genis made their way to Mizuho and headed for Sheena's office. Zelos had been here plenty of times on business trips, but Genis was amazed at how big the city had gotten. Zelos knocked on the door to Sheena's office.
"Come on in!" She called through the door. They walked in to find Sheena filing out paperwork. She looked up and smiled at the site of Genis and Zelos. She hadn't seen Genis in nearly 2 years.
"Genis! Great to see you! Holy crap you're taller than me! And Zelos… hey wait why are you two here?"
"Glad you asked," Zelos answered, "We'd like to ask for the aid of your information network."
"If you're trying to find the serial killer, you're just in time! My men are on their way here with a full report. They've been scouring both worlds for information and they should be here any minute! So, what have you guys been doing?" Zelos and Genis had a seat and they talked with Sheena about how things were. After around five minutes, there was a knock at the door.
"That must be them. Come in!" The door swung open and a man in all black with spiked orange hair came walking in. His armor was tainted with blood. Sheena could see two corpses out in the hallway. Zelos quickly drew his sword and Sheena pulled some cards out of her shirt. Genis grabbed his Kendama from his backpack and got ready to fight.
"I'm only here for her." The man said motioning towards Sheena.
"We won't let you have her!" Genis screamed.
"You don't have much of a choice in the matter." He said calmly. He held up his hand and formed a ball of dark energy, which he shot at Genis. It hit him in the chest and sent him flying out the window. Zelos and Sheena charged at the man, but a gust of wind surrounded him and pushed them back. Zelos landed on his feet, but Sheena fell through her desk. Zelos quickly charged at the man full speed and slammed his sword into the side of his head, but the man didn't even flinch. He unsheathed his sword and slashed Zelos across he chest. Zelos fell to the ground and the man assumed he was dead, but he was merely unconscious. Sheena charged at him with her cards forming a blade, which he blocked with his sword.
"Just… who are you?" she asked as she tried to knock him off-balance.
"My name is Klein. Now die!" Klein broke through Sheena's card blade then took his sword and thrust it into her stomach. She didn't make a sound. Blood trickled down her chin. She opened her mouth and blood poured out.
"Do you want me to end your misery now, or should I let you suffer?" Klein asked. Sheena tried to speak but blood just poured from her mouth. Finally she worked up the will to speak.
"I'd… rather… suffer," she said. Klein merely shrugged then his wings spread out and he jumped through the ceiling and flew away. Just as he did, a group of ninja stormed into the office and grabbed Sheena.
"Chief? Chief! Can you hear me? Sheena!" one of the ninja screamed holding her in his arms.
"His name… is Klein… he's… an angel…" she said as she breathed through blood.
"Don't worry, chief, we're going to help you!" but she was already dead.
