A/N: Hi! KuroKapibara here!
Happy Halloween!
I know, I know. Sorry for the waiting, college really took my whole time. I had barely time for writing (it didn't help I got stuck at some points) and no matter how hard I try to make it short, I kept adding more and more things, saying much but not really progressing with the story. So that is my excuse... I did warn you, though!
Actually this chapter was cut into two pieces, so this is what was Jin doing when everything happend and some deciphering from their part. In the next chapter we have more action I promise. So I hope you guys like it.
Again, there are mistakes in grammar, hopefully not many. Feel free to point them out, so I can correct them and learn from them.

Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Sightless
Mikado City a gate to another world opened one faithful day, invaders from another dimension known as the Neighbor poured through. The city knew true fear. The Neighbors' technology made them immune to most earth weapons. Most believed the fall of the city was a matter of time, but then a mysterious group drove off the invaders and delivered a massage: 'Leave the Neighbors to us, we have longed trained for this'.
They studied Neighbor technology and created an organization to defend the world for them. The Border Defense Agency, the group built a tremendous base in a very short time and prepared defenses against invader. For years later, though the gate was still open and the Neighbor still came through, most of the city's population had chosen to remain. Perhaps to their faith in Border, the regular explosions and flashes hardly even fazed the people living in Mikado City.
Half year later. Mikado city was exposed to the Neighbor's large-scale attack by the military nation, Aftokrator. The Trion Solders and the Humanoid Neighbors who manipulated the powerful black triggers came to invade. Standing up undaunted and bravely against the surge of unbeatable enemies were the border agents. Finally, the helm was steered towards their victory at the crossroads of fate at the cost of a great sacrifice.
Once again, not long after the recent invasion, another one has taken place. All agents, from A-rank, B-rank, C-rank, S-class and elite, were fighting hard throughout the city, repressing the incoming waves of enemies of all kinds. Will border be able to, once again, triumph in the presence of the Neighbor's menace? Even now when they were taken by surprised, even more when they were just recovering from the preview invasion? And what would be the prize to pay for this victory?
- Sightless -
A brown and bluish blur, only identified as a figure moving at high speed when paying close attention, made his way through the houses' rooftops of the residents from Mikado City. The figure was recognized as a male leaping from rooftops to rooftops at a speed that would make a professional athlete jealous. The figure's legs carried him steadily and gracefully without faltering as if they were moving on their own, always knowing where to step.
Ending the mystery behind the blur. The figure was a 19 year old young man, his name was Jin Yuichi. The male possessed a smooth delicate hazelnut hair, a pair of turquoise eyes that could look into one's soul, the perfect face adorned with the brightest radiant grin that could melt anyone on the spot, and the body any male could only dream to have. Those would be the exact words every single one of the female population from Mikado City would give if asked to find the perfect description for the teen. Not the female agents from Border of course, that would be more like annoying, cocky, the worst sexual harasser to ever exist… but those were the exception.
Jin was one of the first agents to join Border, one of a selected group to have the privilege of being the first to start using Trion and Triggers in order to protect their beloved city by from the clutches of the mysterious interlopers by making front to the first large-scale Neighbor invasion. The honor to wield the special power wasn't given to anyone, obviously or else the outcome would have been much more different; a certain degree of skillfulness was required, and who else than our favorite hero to have it. To say he was skilled was an understatement, not for anything he was made an elite agent or at least that what he claimed to be, no one had said otherwise.
To put it simple the hazelnut haired teen belonged inside the category of 'the best of the best'.
To anyone who admired him, the elite agent was all jokes and smiles but for the selected few who really knew him, those were nothing but facades. Even for them, Jin was a mystery, one that could take years of deciphering and only to be half way through. So they just rolled with whatever schemes he would come up with, which was most of the time since it was what he loved to do the most.
The elite agent belonged (and was proud to admit) to the 'neighbors can be good too, so let's be friends' faction, Tamakoma branch. Along with few others including our heroes from Tamakoma-2, Osamu, Yuuma and Chika, the fact that it was him the responsible for introducing the trio to Border, didn't matter. However, as an elite agent Jin still was an important member for the directors from 'Never forgive neighbors' and 'the town's peace is more important' factions besides his own and it was him who they would rely in case of great importance.
And certainly a third large-scale invasion counted as such.
Today was not a good day for Jin. Sudden Neighbor invasion aside, our lone hero had woken with a feeling of uneasiness that hadn't left his side since morning and with each passing hour the intensity grew more and more. Jin had started to develop a headache, a very irritating headache. Plus it didn't help his precious Side Effect wasn't working as it should be.
* Replica's informative section. Now 'Side Effect' is the term for extrasensory perception abilities manifested by rare individual with high Trion levels. A Side Effect is not a supernatural ability; rather, is an extension of a human ability. Example: Jin sees the future and Yuuma detects lies (Inherited from his late father). *
Jin had always been proud of his ability to see the future, it had helped him several times through hardships as he grew even before he knew about Neighbors, Trion, Triggers and Border. In spite of that, the brunet always thought of himself to be different from the others, an exclusion of society, and an outcast. Due to that, as a child, the boy constantly wondered how it would feel to fit with the rest of the population, to be one more of the bunch. If only he wasn't gifted with the Foresight ability.
He couldn't have been more wrong.
Now, Jin knew it felt as if a part had been ripped from him, as if what made him be himself was missing. As if he had entered a pitch dark room with nothing visible than mere centimeters away being aided by a faint light as his guide in the void of the unknown future. There was no need to say Jin didn't like it, not one bit.
His Side Effect hadn't told him anything about a sudden invasion. Everything had gone smoothly as it should be, promising to be a boring day with just one or two Trion Solders scouts here and there, nothing out of the ordinary. Jin himself had been chilling in his favorite spot, the highest roof of the colossal building sprouting from the core of the town, identified as the Border Agency; gazing protectively over the city like a silent vigilant (if it made him feel like the King of the World was a bonus). Enjoying the lack of premonitions for the first time, the lone hero had the opportunity to live the present at the moment.
That was, until a vision had struck Jin hard, nearly tumbling him down from the monumental building when the elite agent had only been standing on the edge of the agency. The sight had been what he certainly wasn't eager to see anytime soon, to be honest it was something he expected not to experience ever again. A stupid desire he knew, considering they were a crossfire victim in an interdimensional war.
Black portals upon black portals opened at the same time with no space between them, denying even the thinnest ray of light to come through. Nothing more nothing less was shown, however the black holes were something not easily someone could forget, and so, the comprehension was spontaneous. As fast as it came, it left, leaving a dumbfounded elite agent in its wake, questioning if what he had just witnessed had been real or not.
Unfortunately it was about to be real.
No more than seconds were given, barely sufficient time for Jin to assimilate the scene and with no second doubts the elite agent warned (more like shouted) HQ of the incoming event, before the wormholes started to appear just as predicted. Since then, the ex S-class agent along with all of Border's agents (no matter what rank they were) had been fighting non-stop the incoming waves of Trion Solders. But no matter how much unwavering will was poured into their combat, it felt as if they made no progress at all; where one otherworldly machine fell, other two took its place.
Surprisingly even the Elite Agent was starting to acknowledge what the feeling of exhaustion meant (if the Trion body ever let to feel such sensation) after annihilating the advanced machines for what seem to be an endless combat. Jin alone disposed of hordes of numerous Trion Solders, since he didn't belong to any current squad.
He acted alone like a lone wolf, all secretly and schemes that's how he was. Despite that, the ex S-class agent knew very well he could count with others, the ones he was proud to call 'friends'; they would not hesitate to help him no matter what were they were asked to do and for that Jin was deeply grateful. So there was no need to say the hazelnut haired boy would try his best to keep them alive, not safe, no, because Jin knew in order to achieve the goal an effort had to be made and sometimes it demanded some exertion from them which resulted in getting them hurt.
Even so, he still couldn't forgive himself no matter how many times he had asked for forgiveness, for the events involving Osamu and Chika with the Aftokrator incident. He could have prevented it, yet he did nothing. Jin had let them get mortally injured or captured, in the end it had been Replica sensei the one to sacrifice in order to guaranty their protection with the result of leaving behind a nanny-less neighbor boy in a world who loathed his kind.
When Jin had finally decided to come clean by confessing his sin at the Tamakoma-2 leader, it freed him from the heavy burden, leaving his already loaded shoulders. Even more, when Four Eyes had said 'I forgive you' (not in those exact words, more like 'You don't have to apologize to me', still the meaning was the same). Even so, Jin would find a way to make up to them.
So when the handsome brunet felt his quiet warning bells on the back of his mind pointing towards the direction of his beloved Kouhais, the rest of the world vanished, nothing else mattered than the assurance that nobody was threating their well-being. At first the young man had thought of the lingering feeling as a compensation for the failure of his extra sensorial ability in detecting the incoming threat, however the change of mind was instantaneous only when the feeling persisted.
Priority set in mind, Jin dashed making a bee line toward said trio's school. Like a bullet, he pressed forward, refusing to be stopped and if one enemy was stupidly brave enough to dare to block his path, the elite agent would cut his way through without any remorse until he reached his destination. Surprisingly (he guessed he shouldn't have been since his young pupils were members of Tamakoma and only the best joined the branch) the institute had been clear of all enemies within close perimeter. His turquoise eyes glided upon every single structure of the academy, distinguishing each of the Neighbors' carcasses lying forgotten on the vast schoolyard, remnants of a battle from not long ago.
Although the elite agent had found the Tamakoma-2 squad unharmed, he still couldn't let himself feel relaxed. With the increasing uneasiness still nagging at him, how could he? As a senpai, Jin wasn't about to let his cute little kouhais worry for something as a mere presentiment. Well, easy said than done when you were at the presence of a living lie-detector, fortunately the hazelnut haired teen knew how to dodge the infallible system: giving half-truths and acting as if nothing wrong was happening. It had appeared to work at the lack of signal of recognition from the small humanoid neighbor, but Jin knew better that it took more than that to delude the albino.
It was only a matter of time before he would run out of options, eventually getting him caught; being one of the reason for making their meeting brief aside from a packed agenda. Nevertheless, nothing on the face of earth would have made the young adult detain him for making sure his charges were out of trouble and with the objective dealt with perhaps the lingering feeling would finally abandon him.
No such luck.
If so, the silent warning was growing steadily stronger with each step he took away from them.
Currently Jin was leaping from rooftop to rooftop aimlessly, engaging Trion Solder after Trion Solder he encountered on the way. The ex S-class agent dared to say he was becoming rather… bored; with only Bamsters, Banders and Marmods, the challenge was hardly any. Jin craved for the emotion of a good fight he could enjoy, for an opponent worthy of his time, like Hyuse the abandoned Aftokrator Solder, even Tachikawa his rival was a good candidate right now. The brunet found himself heaving a sigh, he shouldn't complain it was not like this was just training, it was the real deal, it still represented danger for the citizens and as an elite agent, he had to act as such.
"Oi, Jin!" A voice shouted from not too far away with clear displeasure.
The angered voice managed to strip Jin from the deepest of his complex mind. His body, after years of experience, had learned to move by itself when the control panel was being overrun by appearances of wild thoughts, which had come really handy when visions were involved. Practice makes perfection but even the master made mistakes once in a while, or so he liked to believe because with the interruption of the intrusive voice made Jin lose the rhythm, almost sending him face first to the pavement. Fortunately, before it could pass to worse, the elite agent swiftly redirected his steps in order to correct his trajectory and land properly, avoiding an embarrassment that certainly his rival/friend would never forget. 'Speaking of the devil'
"Yo! Tachikawa, Kazama. To what do I owe this pleasure?"
"Where in the hell have you been?! We have been looking for you!" Exclaimed one of the new arrivals. Clearly not knowing what personal space meant, seeing as right after the taller brunet landed, he went straight face to face with his rival.
Kei Tachikawa, the leader of the number one A-rank agent belonging into Kido's faction (as well as Kazama) and the number one solo attacker also the rival of the elite agent. Jin might have been popular among the female population but Tachikawa was the one desired between the female from Border. The only one who could wear a black trench coat and carry two swords 'Kogetsu' and actually look rather handsome despite being over 20. Excellent at combat but lacked other qualities apart from fighting.
"I have been around. There is an invasion going on, if you haven't noticed. It's the job of an elite agent to deal with this sort of situations." Said Jin easily without succumbing to his rival's bad mood. Smirk in place to let the personal space invader know he wasn't affected, not even if the other was growling barely centimeters away from Jin's nose.
In comparison from the elite agent, Tachikawa did give into the taunt "Don't play with us. What the hell? Just yelling at HQ, shouting 'we are under attack' seconds before Neighbors start popping up and then you disappear!" The number one A-rank agent yelled at Jin's face with enough anger inside him, coming close to unsheathe both of his Kogetsus and clash with his adversary's scorpion.
Fortunately it didn't grow to anything major with the threat of Tachikawa, going no further than reaching the hilt of both of his deadly weapons. All thanks to the intervention of a calm and collected voice. "Calm down, Tachikawa. Fighting each other right now won't solve anything, especially in the middle of an invasion." Said the spiky black haired guy, placing a calming hand on his taller friend's shoulder while the other never loosened up the hold of his Scorpion, just in case the two children decided to solve their differences by force.
As a spell being casted by the motionless voice, the angered mood dissipated not in its entirety, just enough for the coal-eyed teen to cool down and start thinking logically. "Fine" conceded reluctantly the number one solo attacker as he slowly pulled apart from the close proximity, putting enough distance to be acceptable and not be considered as a doubt of their gender preference.
The tree agents held the weirdest friendship since their enrolment into Border Agency, but with the circumstances surrounding the Black Trigger of Jin's mentor: 'Fujin' their relationship shattered turning into one of jealousy and hatred between the two HQ agents and the one from Tamakoma Branch. The friction carried for a long time, until the incident with the clandestine fight for Yuuma's Black Trigger, leading to the resignation of the 'Fujin' over HQ. Giving his teacher's momento away solved the three years of hatred, restoring the odd friendship the top agents had.
Their dynamics were always the same. Between the spontaneous personality of Tachikawa and Jin's playful attitude, it was common to find the two minors at each other's throat. It was the job of older teen to scold both of the misbehaved kids, that's how Kazama found himself being the mediator of the two.
Jin allowed himself to heave a sigh of relief after regaining his personal space back, sending a grateful look towards the crimson eyed boy from behind his companion. However Kazama wasn't done. On contrary of Tachikawa's explosive attitude, the second solo attacker was more serene and tended to think before acting, no matter the circumstances.
"I think an explanation is in order or this time I won't restrain Tachikawa but aid him." The black haired boy might have looked calm and composed but with the statement, Jin knew the leader of the number three A-Rank Squad clearly wasn't thrilled by the events.
Two sets of determined eyes never left the elite agent's figure as if their stares alone would make him talk. Surprisingly, it worked however the explanation wasn't what the duo were expecting. "How can I explain it, if I don't even know it myself"
If it had been following his realistic outcome, the duo's response would have been more emphatic, somehow Jin's reality and the world's reality had a disagreement, and instead what he got was …"Ha! Yeah right. You think we are going to believe you with that Side Effect of yours. What do you take us for?" Exclaimed Tachikawa before adopting a mocking grin and fake voice clearly trying to imitate the ex S-class agent. "Aren't you the one always saying… 'My Side Effect told me so'"
Maybe, the young adult was too positive, it was more likely this reaction than the one he planned, sometimes thinking positive wasn't the best way. "That was supposed to be me? I'm flattered. I tend to leave such impression in the people that they soon start to imitate me. I didn't know you were one of my secret admires, Tachikawa." Joked the hazelnut haired teen, never letting an opportunity to tease his rival pass.
"Why, you…" Growled the coal-eyed boy.
And they were at it again. Seriously, it made Kazama wonder how the two got to be top agents with that childish attitude of theirs. He was starting to get annoyed by the antics of the two, even if his default face was obviously stating otherwise. "Then what is your Side Effect telling you? If what you are telling us is true."
"That's just it, it is not showing me anything" Explained Jin with a posture of total seriousness, contradictory of his former stance. Before his two companions decided to intervene, he continued; which he knew it was going to happen seeing as the second handsome brunet had opened his mouth surely to begin round 3. "And before you say something, Kei. No, I didn't know it was going to happen but merely seconds before they appeared, as if whoever is behind all this just decided to attack. Since then I haven't had any more visions"
"It is odd." Concurred Kazama with a hum, adopting the typical thinking stance: one hand other the chin while the other supported the arm. "It appears that news travel fast between nations in the other side, but how much and what exactly do they know of us, is the question"
"The thing that bothers me, is their objective. What would they want this time?" Asked Jin, frustration expressed in his voice. He really hated not being able to see, it infuriated him to no end. But he wasn't sure why it was failing him when regardless of how many times he had wished even begged for this opportunity before, it was never granted. Until now that is. It made Jin click his tongue in annoyance.
"Whatever it is, they must really want it so bad if the neighbors are opting to take the strategy of an assured victory. Attacking when we are hardly in any condition to fight back and when we less expected it." Theorized Tachikawa, with his many wise years of personal experience talking. "Liked us, when we went to retrieve the Black Trigger, we acted when you never expected it…*sigh* I should have known better that you would have seen it" Why bother, if Jin could perfectly see through any of their plans when he wanted it. But Tachikawa would be lying if he said he had a fully developed strategy for the occasion. First of all, it had been a rushed assault preventing said action and second, he was more of the person to plan according the presented situation.
"You jeopardized the safety of one of my cute little kohais, I wasn't about to let that happen. I will always stand up for my family" It might have not appeared like anything serious, just another casual commentary thrown at the wind, and yet, the pair of turquoise eyes gazing unwavering at his long time rival, held the burning flame of determination.
It took minutes for the brunet to be able to break the intense staring contest, as soon as he did so he turned away acting as if it had meant nothing to him. Despite of how close friends the two were, Jin hold a mama bear instinct, turning him twice as dangerous when it came to his family. "Whatever, it wasn't like we were going to kill him, you know?" Said Tachikawa discarding the hidden threat.
"You might as well have, if you had taken his Black Trigger. I told you, it means more to Yuuma than it does for us."
Jin knew he couldn't blame the two, not just them but all Border too, since they didn't know the tragic story behind the feisty humanoid neighbor. The only ones in the vast world to know the harsh truth was Four Eyes and him, not even the members from Tamakoma, heck not even their own teammate Chika had knowledge of it. It wasn't his story to tell, if Yuuma wanted them to know, the albino would tell them someday, but for now the elite agent would keep his mouth shut.
"What harm could possibly be?" Retorted the leader of the number one A-class squad
'If you only knew'
With the little bickering over, it fell, once again, back into Kazama's hand to retake the matters at hand. "Not so much of a guaranteed victory if they are just relying on Marmods and Bamsters, we can easily defeat various waves without breaking into sweat."
As if trying to make a point, beacons of light in form of shooting stars adorned the sky for seconds, captivating the attention of the top agents and any bystander, before passing from sight into the colossal structure. Soon, another one joined the first one in the same path the former took, no later, another followed, then another and another and another, in what appeared for the spectators to be a rain of stars. However for the odd trio and those related to the Agency knew better than the radiant comet were minuscule particles of Trion dissipating from his core, which was nothing cosmic but a human from earth.
The phenomenon was actually a tactic developed for Border Triggers that allowed them to automatically return to base due to certain different circumstances allowing them scape the possible threat to their lives, called 'Bail Out'. Nothing reassuring came out of the event, knowing when this type of Trigger was usually used due to destruction of the Agent's Trion body. One or two in a definite time was normal, but the constant apparition of the fleeting solders activated a warning, causing them to have a bad feeling about it.
Turquoise eyes were the first to withdraw from the spectacle of lights, compared to the duo who were still looking fixedly at the show. With the world in constant movement, there was hardly any time to spend in contemplation of the minimal distraction, something Jin learned by heart. Fast paced thinking, many possibilities to consider and many to discard, the elite agent's brain never sized working, visions or not. If Jin allowed his mind to wander away, then each vision would only hindrance his sight, rendering him powerless when dealing in a fight. He couldn't let that happen, now, could he? That's why the Tamakoma agent merely observe the situation at hand for crucial intelligence that would aid him in further events.
With the fast inspection taken care of, the segment of hypothesize began. "Maybe so, but even that type of Trion Solder represents a challenge for the C-rank and some of the B-rank. Adding their seemly endless numbers, it increases the threat." Jin said, thinking at loud. The remaining pairs of eyes snapped out of trance and regained the attention at the current issue.
It didn't take long for the spiky haired boy to catch up with the flow of thoughts. "That's true, we might not get tired with the Trion bodies but there is still a determined amount of Trion inside each of us. If we keep fighting, those reserves would eventually run out, leaving us defenseless and forcing us to Bail Out." Kazama picked up where the other left off, comprehension of the neighbor's plan was starting to materialize in his neutral features.
The branch member assented at the older teen's speculations. "Exactly. Leaving less and less agents to protect the city. It's like they are removing the lesser threat, leaving the stronger ones to be dealt with." Jin was glad he had opted to let his friends to take part in the matter, slowly but surely they were making progress in unraveling the plan behind the invasion and earn some advantage over the intruders.
Still, it would have been easier and faster if his side effect was working properly. Yet, his comrades were doing their best to bring him out of his dejection by being the replacement of his missing six sense; an opportunity he would have never had if everything went as expected. In a way, our lone hero was glad it happened this way as he got to enjoy this tiny moment and maybe that was how faith wanted it, and everything would be ok. But the uneasy feeling would not have it.
"They have to run out of Trion Solders, eventually. I mean, they can keep this forever and that could be sooner than finishing every single Border agent. That's why I doubt that's all they have in their arsenal. They must be waiting for the right time to strike" The unusual quiet agent added his two cents. However they couldn't know how right Tachikawa was, not until…
Before the two members of the small group had the chance to replied, a frantic voice called, warning all the available combatants. "Portals have appeared simultaneously in various locations of the city! The monitors show the appearances of portals at the sites of highest people concentration and one at base!"
Not minutes passed since the alert was given, when all three heads snapped, making their mismatched eyes that were open big and wide in clear shock, stare at each other. They assumed the prediction that Tachikawa made was accurate but they never guessed it was to happen this soon. They had hit right on the spot, unfortunately the so advantage they believed to have was no more, it only proved the enemy was far ahead than they would ever be.
They weren't given time to react either, when another voice, this one more composed as it expressed the right way to operate in situations of this magnitude, learned in his many years of experience; came through the radio. "This is Arashiyama squad at the scene! What appeared to have come out of the portals were 3 altered Marmoids. However there are stronger than the average Marmoid, I would say as the same level, if not a little less than a Rabbit! Normal agents would not be able to take it down!"
It appeared that the information fell into deaf ears when nothing changed, not a single movement of recognition was made either by the trio or the Base. It continued in a form of stasis for more minutes before the senses decided to return to their respective owners, thus regaining the capability of movement at their free will and logical thinking, making them able to finally assessed the facts given by the number five A-rank squad.
As the triad of especial agents returned into focus, one by one, their dumbstruck faces were their greeters into the real world; not what you would expect to see from the best warriors. It had been a hard blow to their pride being outclassed by their minors, when they were supposed to be the role model to all the little agents. Abandoning his dumb posture, Jin opted to dismiss the embarrassment by giving an awkward laugh. "Leave it to Jun and his squad to handle the situation when the so called 'top agents' were staring stupidly at each other." Humored the young adult as he raised a hand to the back of his head, scratching the skin of his neck.
The second to follow only gave unnecessary coughs, acting as a way of composing himself while trying to erase the event ever happened. "Yeah, well. At least we know what we are dealing with, now. Let's not waste more time and head toward one of the location so we can start eliminating those mutant Marmoids" Said Tachikawa clearing his throat with the role of seriousness now back in his character.
As for Kazama, he had nothing to worry about, his lack of ability to display any emotion had saved him yet again. The spike haired man just had to cross his arms and close his eyes to obliviate the unwanted feeling, contrary to his companions who were overacting their casual behavior. "Wait for orders, Tachikawa. We just can't charge in, guns blazing. Beside we have The Base to attend too" Cold eyes fixated at the taller brunet with a slight frown in a way of scolding that would send chills to anyone at the receiving end. Not Tachikawa of course, he just scoffed and his personal caretaker.
As on cue, another transmission cut through their bickering. "Due to circumstances explained by Arashiyama squad, all A-class agents availablea are to engage the new type of Marmods to prevent any causalities. The remaining B-class agents will continue to dispose of the normal class. Proceed!"
"There are your orders, now let's go" Tachikawa waited enough for the communication to end but not enough to let his friends react when the number one solo attacker hopped into the roofs and headed toward the nearest portal.
Crimson eyes only got a fleeting glimpse of the black coat before disappearing into the path of rooftops. 'Oh, he did just not do that! When all this is over, he would definitely get a piece of my mind' A dark aura accompanied the thoughts, gradually increasing at the formulation of different creative ways to shoved his mind into the coal-eyed man. However, it didn't last long when a calming hand rested upon his shoulder, the same maneuver he used toward his colleagues and with the equal effectiveness as well. His emotionless eyes focused on the remaining figure besides him who was the culprit of dissipating the malevolent thoughts plaguing the pale young teen's brain.
"Let HQ worry about their own problems. If things get worse, they have Director Shinoda to handle the situation, he alone is capable to do it." The elite agent told the shorter yet older teen. "Our priority are the civilians then we worry about others"
Jin watched as Kazama gave a small nod before, he too, made to follow the same path the previous combatant took. The elite agent couldn't help but to feel as if they were playing right into the enemy's schemes (if the enemy even had a one), nevertheless as he previously told the number two attacker, they couldn't let anything bad befall to the town's residents, that was the agency motto after all. If only they had had the sufficient time to unravel the whole plot. But it wasn't the best time to linger in the 'ifs', hopefully more opportunities would present as time pass by, but for now, it was the moment to act. With those thoughts in mind Jin pursued his friends toward the shared destination.
Unfortunately the solely opportunity to attempt to change the future was left behind and as soon as they made the first contact with the opponent, their path would be set and nothing they do would change the outcome.
