FAREWELL, 70 YEARS OF SILENCE
Shark stared at him in utter confusion. "He can transform? Is this possible? He's just a low-level agent!"

M-21 could only transform his hands for now, but for some reason, he is unable to transform completely like back then, and not to make things worse, it only last for a few minutes. If he stalls then it'll be bad for him. So, before Shark can heal...

M-21 ran at Shark in a blink of an eye. His claws tore through the wall right above Sharks head and completely destroyed it. Shark managed to dodge at the last moment though.

M-21 didn't give him room to attack and trusted his claw at Shark face, cutting his hair and skinning his cheek

Kantz stood back and observed with Tao. "He's showing more ability than a low-level agent has. He's good. He wasn't a low-level agent? How can he transform?" He questioned the situation.

Tao shrugged. "I don't know. There was no such info in his profile."

Shark body slammed against the wall with a hard crash. His body was bleeding and shredded by those sharp claw. He looked up and saw them coming down upon him. Shark lifted his knife and stopped M-21's claws from striking him any further.

"You excited?" Shark snarled "Transforming is nothing!" Shark tried to throw his claws out of the way, but the claw mark on his wrist from before prevented him from gaining any strength to do so. Shark grit his teeth and shouted as he finally managed to throw M-21 off him.

M-21 jumped back away from Shark as he got up off the floor. He almost out of time.

Shark hung his head and spoke in a low tone. "Krantz. I can't bear it anymore." He said.

"I should kill him right now," Krantz spoke.

Tao quickly cut in. "Krantz, we don't know how this mission will end."

"We can start the mission without M-21. I can't stand DA-5 being humiliated like this."

"Krantz."

"Shark, I approve. Eliminate him."

Upon hearing his orders. Shark crackled and held his knife up in the air. He then swung it down and plummeted it against the ground, creating a flying slash that hurtled right towards M-21 and the kids.

M-21 knew if he moved then the kids would get hit. He held his arm up in front of him as the slash struck him. Upon impact, there was a loud bang noise and he was engulfed in dust.

M-21's shirt was shredded by the attack and his chest had a large cut going down. He removed his arm just before seeing a knife above his head. He blocked the knife with his hands, but Shark swung his other knife towards his chest. M-21 grabbed the knife before it could stab him, but Shark was moving way to quick for him as the other knife came aiming for his head. He pulled his head back.

Shark laughed in enjoyment as he held his knife up over his head and swung his down with all his might. M-21 managed to grab the knife with both of his hands with the blade inches from his eyes.

"M-21. I don't intend to kill you quickly. I'll make you regret acting up to me." Shark's maddened eyes glared at him.

M-21's hands shook against the blade his transformation ran out and went back to normal. His palms were cut and his fingers dripped blood that ran down his wrists.

Shark lifted his foot and kicked him in the stomach with so much strength, he was sent sliding back up to the kids.

Shark swung his blade and created another slash. "Take this!"

He couldn't move. He had to take the hit for the kids. M-21 held his hands out in front of him as he was struck with the attack yet again. Blood spilled at his feet and formed a puddle.

"You didn't move because of the kids?" Shark laugh at the bleeding man. He held up his knife with this evil glint in his eyes. "Die!" He swung it down and this time the kinetic slash was faster and stronger than before.

M-21 saw the slash coming at a breakneck speed and felt his vision fade away as everything got black and blurry. He closed his eyes thinking that it would all come to an end soon, that he had done everything he can for the kids and hope that they would come out of this. He waited for their in silence as the sound of the slash closed in.

K-POW!

He heard the sound of the impact but felt no pain. M-21 opened his eyes and saw fluttering gray coat and the hem of a white dress through his cloudy and bloodstained vision. M-21 collapsed to his knees and gasped from the sign before him with eyes wide with confusion and disbelief. When he spoke, his voice cracked and sounded broken. "What...are you doing?"

Shark's eyes were wide and bloodshot. His mouth gaped open like a fish before he slammed it shut. He clenched his fists tightly till then began to shake with a mashup of emotions, with an overwhelming amount of fear and anger. "What the hell...are you doing?" He spoke through his teeth.

Luciel stood between them Shark and the kids now. Her hair and clothes flapping around her like mad because of her fast movments. She held her hand up with her fingers straight and together. The palm of her hand smoked after taking the impact but was left without a single scar or blemish to her skin.

She dropped her hand to her side and glanced over her shoulder when M-21's body fell to the ground, a pool of blood forming around him in moments. Luciel's knees touched the blood as she got down beside him. She felt the warm liquid soak through to her stockings and drench her knees. She stared down at her him with sorrow across her features. She spoke in a soft and calm voice that sounded like a promise. "I'm sorry I took so long, but you don't have to worry anymore. I'll take care of everything." She rose to her feet as the blood dripped down her legs. "You guys..." She looked at them. "Brace yourselves."

The girls took the moment they had and ripped up the fabric of a shirt and wrapped the pieces around M-21's body. The once white fabric soaked up the blood, dying it instantly.

Shinwu breathed heavy as he was still in bad shape from the assault. "Hey," He called to Ikhan. "Isn't this lady...from the picture on the chairman's desk?" He asked and Ikhan's eyes widen.

Ikhan looked up to the girl who was now protecting them. He could see her profile. Her purple hair and her bright, glowing scarlet eyes. The pale skin down to that gentle smile. The sptting image from that photo.

Shark didn't want to believe that he was shaking because of this girl. He felt anger boiling inside him more than the fear of trying to consume him. "I thought I said I would kill you." He said angerly. It was like he was one snap away from going ballistic, but...what sent him over the edge was when she didn't pay any mind to him. "You little..."

Shark knew though that he wouldn't be able to fight against this girl if he didn't take 'that'. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the D pill and crunched it between his teeth. He body shook a dark blue/gray shade and his muscles bulked up. He breathed out and felt the power surging inside him.

Luciel reached up and pulled her coat off her body. She rolled it up in a ball and tossing it to the side. Luciel turned around to face Shark and stared at the chages his body went through. She signed as if she was saddened by something. "Didn't I say already." She turned her head when she spoke with the kids, but her sudden low voice made them shiver and breathing got caught. She reached up and pointed to her ears with her fingers. "Brace yourselves."

The kids didn't know what do to and were frozen in place by this woman's complete change in demeanor. She once had a soft frilly voice that sounded like a melody to their scared ears, but it just changed to suddenly to this low, deep and intimidating one.

M-21 didn't wait for her to explain. He reached up and plugged his ears. The kids looked to each other but followed her orders and M-21's example. They pressed their hands down tightly against their ears drums and waited for something like an explosion to come up.

Luciel smiled one last time and as she turned to look back to Shark, her once shimmering red eyes darkened to a pitch black that was bottomless and didn't have any life or lively glimmer in them. They were void of all emotions and her faces expression only matched.

Luciel then took in a deep breath, sucking in air to expand her lungs out to their limit and leaned her head back.

Farewell...70 years of silence...

She opened her mouth and an eardrum-shattering scream erupted from her lungs, from her whole body. The sound barrier was broken the whole building shook as the impact encased it all in this ear piercing, monster mimicking scream that was mixed with human and creature.

The color drained from their faces and they try to attempt to cover their pounding eardrums with their hands, but their hearts were racing in their chest and the impact of the scream felt like they were being plumbed with rocks.

Shark opened his eyes that he closed before. He gasped as the air was sucked out of his lungs as Luciel's began to change. The sleeves of her dress ripped away and the veins under her skin turned black. Her nails were coated in a thick black, weeping substance that took the shape of claws.

Frankenstein and Raizel halted on a rooftop as the impact of the scream washed over them. They felt like they couldn't even move or be knocked off balance by the power.

Frankenstein realized who this was coming from because it was identical to Luciel's scream back on Lukedonia. The inhuman nature that sounded like a wounded and wild animal a woman's glass-shattering scream mixed together to create what they were hearing.

Frankenstein had to hold his hands up to cover himself from the scream, but Raizel wasn't even fazed by it.

As the scream dyed down, Raizel's face turned serious. "So she's making a move."
