The Imported Investigator

The rain continued to pour down, it had been hours since the heavens had opened up. Humans in long, white coat with standard issue katanas lay dead, littering the floor along with the humans were hundreds of ghouls. Blood mixed with water ran down the road. Up on the bridge, high above the bodies, two figures stood on opposite sides of the road.

Investigator Juuzou was stood on one end, his fists were clutched around his quinque. He was far from home and the squad he had been given command over had been completely wiped out. He glared at the ghoul on the other end of the bridge. Though his face was barely visible, the ghoul gave Juuzou a smirk.

"Jessie!" Juuzou cried out "Surrender." He sternly ordered.

Jessie's body emitted a truly horrible sound as his kakuja grew to a sharp end. Jessie started to walk towards Juuzou, the streetlights reflected off his drenched, twisted kakuja. Juuzou was unfazed, the investigator had faced countless inhuman monstrosities in his career. Juuzou adjusted himself to a proper stance. They had fought already, only just having moved back, mutually agreeing to a create small lull in their fight. Investigator Juuzou had been working craftily to damage left side of Jessie's kakuja. As he moved towards the investigator, Jessie raised his left hand to guard himself. He started to move faster and faster before he was running towards the Investigator. He leapt towards Juuzou, aiming for his heart he thrust the end of the weapon he had formed towards Juuzou. Swiftly and gracefully moving out of the way, Juuzou swung his quinque at Jessie's side, taking another chunk out of his defences. Spinning, Jessie loaded up on a kick, moving as fast as he could with the weight of his kakuja. Juuzou wasn't able to move out of the way, instead he jumped back wit the kick, taking some of the sting out of it, still he was winded badly from the kick. Buying himself a few seconds to recover he held his quinque up, inviting Jessie to come at him, taunting the ghoul.

The kakuja was incredibly tiring to keep up and Jessie was eager to end the fight, it had already gone on far too long for Jessie. Once again, Jessie started to approach the Investigator once again, slowly this time. The last swipe Juuzou had taken at him had broken down his kakuja drastically, finally causing Jessie to notice what Juuzou had been playing at.

"You're moving a lot slower than before" Juuzou called out to Jessie.

Jessie got close enough to Juuzou, and once again leapt at him, crossing across his arm across his own body. Trying to cut off his left side from Juuzou. The Investigator instead ducked low under Jessie's kakuja and slammed his quinque into Jessie's left side. A grown of pain left Jessie who jumped back. His Kakuja faded away, his natural form to get soaked in the rain. Summoning the last of his reserves, he formed an ugly gray katana from his body, breaking it away and swinging it.

"You're fighting awfully defensively, import." Jessie said, spite in his voice. "Am I really that much of a problem they have to fly in investigators from Japan?" Jessie moved his body, limbering himself up now he was free of his heavy armour. Jessie's eyes turned black, his pupils turning a murky red. The skin on his back cracked open as two sets of three long ribbon like ukaku kaugune spread out from his back. The hideous crimson kagune started to shoot thousands of small, sharp projectiles at Juuzou. Jessie ran at Juuzou, providing his own covering fire. Juzzou worked hard to avoid Jessie's kagune, however, he did not escape completely. His arms and legs were covered in cuts from Jessie's kagune bullets. Jessie launched a huge slash at Investigator Juuzou, Juuzou was completely out of position and Jessie's katana created a huge gash in the Investigators side. Moving back with a spin, Jessie aimed for Juuzou's leg. Once again, his sword found its mark, however he did not create a deep cut, but this time he smashed a huge hole into Juuzou's prosthetic leg. Letting out a scream, Juuzou fell to his knees as the pain his him and his legs gave out. Jessie breathed heavily as he looked down at Juuzou. Rain ran down Juuzou's soft, pale face as he starred up at Jessie, mouth open. Small, shallow breaths escaping him. He let out a hard kick into Juuzou's side, only widening the wound he already had. Juuzou slumped onto his side. Jessie turned his back a walked away. Juuzou opened his mouth to shout at Jessie but nothing came out. The last thing he remembered was watching Jessie walk away.

Jessie called back to base, a small crew came to his location. Jessie and his second in command, Bailey, loaded up the dead into the vans, heading back to their headquarters.

Meanwhile Juuzou had managed to drag himself off of the bridge. Doing everything he could to stop his bleeding and keep himself conscious. Desperately holding his hand to his side, Juuzou called for an immediate evacuation and medical team. Jessie's face was burnt into his mind and Juuzou decided, right then and there, that he was not going to return home until he had taken out Jessie.
