"Begin the operation."
The CCG began to swarm the 20th Ward with their primary target being the Owl. His last known location is within the coffee shop.
"Breach!" A solider shouted out as the explosion rumbles the ground with eruptive force. Debris clears out and reveals two figures. One with a mask that of an ape; the other a dog.
Bodies began to drop as crimson liquid sprays and grunts of pain can be heard. The two masked ghouls pierce the CCG's assault easily.
"There is only two of them. Kill them!" Soldiers call out, but ought for vain as his jugular is ripped from his throat.
Enji smirks from under his mask, " Run wild." Howling can be heard as swarms of similar masked suddenly appear from the rooftops. Their sinister red mask shining in the light as the Devil Apes attack.
Kaya signals for her fellow dogs, " Die for me. All of you." There unison response being, " Yes, boss." And, so ran the dogs. Each killing and striking with viciousness of a rabid dog.
Yoshitoki listened through the coms of his men dying. "Director Washuu, do we continue with the man force." An assistant beside him asks about their next direction in this raid.
" Squad one will be on standby. Squads two and three hunt your respective ghouls. And squads four and below block all directions.
No ghouls will be leaving this ward alive. Lastly, no civilians will be harmed!"
A cloaked figure walks solely on the street. Crushing everything under his feet, as the ghoul transforms.
"The act of taking... is evil."
Kagunes forming from his shoulder and mass increases.
"We, from the moment of birth continue to take. Food, connection, even fellows in blood."
The cloak all but gone as he grows in size.
"Living to the uttermost. Continuing to slaughter, kill, take."
Spikes jetting from back and turning his visage towards the soldiers.
"Life is to constantly sin. Life is...evil itself."
The Owl's single eye glowing amidst his masked face.
" I am aware I am evil... Now come kill me and I will do the same."
The shaking figures of soldiers as they sweat in fear. Owl wasting no time as his ukaku shards shrapnel into the group swiftly incapacitating many of them for rest of their lives. Owl glares at the commander that leads these men to their deaths.
"No need to glare," Yoshitoki politely affirmed to the Owl.
Kaneki, ran in anticipation, ready to help the members of Anteiku. They were by no means powerless, but this raid will not be the lightest of bloodsheds. And he would help to the best of his abilities to protect the people that he calls his friends. Eto had warned him that if he doesn't come back, then she will hunt him down to the ends of the Earth.
"Scary." He thought to himself and could only reciprocate a smile at her weird away of showing love. Clearing his mind and consciousness for the final time. A final gesture to the stand off between these factions ahead.
The setting of the sun alluded to the chaos that alludes in the wake of night. Blood could be smelt throughout the ward and corpses sprain amongst the ground. Kaneki pushes forward letting the dying light swallow him.
"Higher Mind!" A large blast devastated the terrain shredding the apes into ash. Their leader being the last one remaining, while the flamboyant investigator presses on with attack.
"You never should have left that mountain of yours, Ape!" Tanakamaru yells at the masked ghoul.
"Unfortunately for you, this is my mountain. And I am not going anywhere else you, energetic investigator." Enji howls and confronts the man with his monkey tail bikaku, trading blows with larger man. Each strike pushing him back was a win for the ape, but nothing is official till he drops.
"I got you now." Tanakamaru unleashes a short blast leaving nothing but destroyed asphalt. "Hm. Where are you, dumb ape?" He stops midstep as the ghoul drops from above him cutting the cord and disabling the quinque.
"Your weapon is done and you have lost investigator. Give up now and I will make your death quick and quiet." Enji confidently laughs as he raises his clawed hand to end the man's life.
"Gotcha!" Tanakamaru shoves the quinque into Enji's abdomen and releases a burst of power. Breaking his mask and confidence as blood sprays from both sides of the wound.
"There is no way a homo-sapien would lose to an ape. Now die quietly." Enji's body laid flat upon the ground with a gaping wound on his stomach.
Footsteps caught Tanakamaru attention. "Who is it?" Aiming his quinque down the dark building. In short notice the ape is gone, and his angel is damaged by a white hair ghoul.
"Nooooo! My angel!" The investigator's cries could be heard from the building, but Enji managed to give a light smile. "Looks like I win investigator."
"Are you alright, Koma?" Kaneki asks while he carries the man to safety.
"Never thought your arms would be my safe haven Kaneki, but I will be fine."
Associate special investigator, Chuu Hachikawa, and his squad confronted the Black Dober's leader. It is time for revenge and no would stop him from reaping it.
Firing Kajiri, his personal qunique, at the ghoul and her group. Killing the associates and chipping her mask, as she catches herself on the ground. "Long time no see, Black Dober," Hachikawa idly stared at the ghoul with restrained sadism. It was finally time to put this dog down once and for all.
Kaya's red eye stared back. She engage in battle once again fighting the investigator and his charge.
Her reflexes easily dodging the crystal projectiles from the investigator.
"Are you really trying to kill me... Old man?" Kaya teases from her distant spot. "At this rate you will end up dead. Just like your previous squad."
That statement struck a nerve within Hachikawa and he laughed manically. "Bark, you little shit." Charging the quinque at Kaya, as he releases a barrage of shards.
"Woof. Woof."
Turning her body to avoid the deadly projectiles and rushes the crazy investigator. Using her kagune's shards to destroy many of the investigator own, in which opens an opening for the ghoul.
"I got you now," Hachikawa signals his charge to attack as the blade pierces Kaya's back. She retaliated with her clawed hand; slicing at his face missing the flesh by a mere inch. Swiftly back handing the associate and jumping towards a patio to gain distance.
"What is all this noise?" An elderly women appeared from the sliding door.
Hachikawa pointed the weapon at the ghoul and old woman not caring for an old woman's life.
"What are you doing Mr. Chuu?" Hirako questioned from his position amongst the latter soldiers.
" I am not giving up this ghoul for a senile old woman that is past her prime!" The older investigator fired the quinque at both.
"Shit." Kaya pushes the elderly woman inside and takes the onslaught of the weapon. Damaging her imposing figure as she falls onto the ground and looks at the investigator with a cracked smile. "I have grown soft. But, the atonement of my sins has lead me here."
Shakily standing up with messy black hair and broken mask. Kaya rushes Hirako engaging in a clash between claws and quinque. The latter overpowering her as Ayumu assists with a sword into the ghouls back. Effectively, stopping any resistance from the ghoul.
"I will finish the dog." Hachikawa stood over the woman a devious smile adorning his scarred face. "Any last words?"
"See you in Hell..," Kaya quietly comments as she closes her embracing deaths waiting grasp. Silence overtook her, yet nothing happened.
"There is no Hell for ghouls."
The yammering of Hachikawa sweeps her ears, "Who the hell are you?" Turning his weapon upon the newcomer only it to be broken in an instant. "My quinque! You bastard."
And when her eyes open she was in Kaneki's arms and laid a distance away. "I will be back."
"Before you go Kaneki, here is some advice. The small one is fast, but is lacking in power. Her attacks are very accurate and mostly fatal, so avoid them at all cost. Now, the one with small eyes is powerful, alert, and impressive. And the one in back is leader and he is knocked out, so I recommend finishing him. Be careful..."
"Thank you." His brief reply is all she heard before Kaneki goes to engage the group.
Kaneki activates his kagune and dodges the lunge from the smaller investigator. While, parrying the larger one's blade with his kagune.
"Constantly suffering for the sake of others."
Turning to a screeching halt, as he makes a full turn and jabs his foot into the female investigator. Causing her to skid across the ground and knocking out her beside the boss.
"Can not turn away from becoming strong."
The clashing of kagune versus quinque in full force. Each individual doing their best to overcome their opponent.
"Do well Kaneki and grow strong."
Slashing his kagune at the small-eyed investigator, as he blocks the attack. Following up with the second kagune to push the investigator back.
"I can not win this.." Hirako thought to himself. This ghoul is not a weak opponent and is overwhelming him the longer it lasts.
Kaneki knocks the quinque from the man, as he drops. He had to get back Irimi, so he left the investigators alive. Killing is pointless when he has to save everyone in a short time.
"You should find somewhere safe, Irimi. I am going to help Mr. Yoshimura now." Kaneki explains to his former co-worker.
"Do what ever you want, but we can meet up at route V14. Nonetheless, since you are so eager to save Yoshimura here is more information. The main forces are engaged with him and are what can put fear into ghouls." Kaya says, while leaning against the railing.
"I see." Kaneki knew that it would be a challenge, yet the task has turned into a herculean quest.
"One last thing Kaneki. Try to not get yourself killed."
