Chapter 4: Men in Black

"You'll pay!" Shun shouted. He had reached Berserker and the young man who was accompanying him, Hideki Ryoki. The young man, who had black hair and brown-red eyes, and was dressed in black jacket, black shirt and jeans with a black cap, didn't seem to be bothered at all by the policeman's rage.

"Come at me." he said, with a devious grin, extending his arm and signaling him to come at him with his hand.

The black haired young man charged with his long baton against Hideki and Berserker, who tried to punch him in the stomach. Shun managed to stop himself and jump back just in time, then he let go of his baton, drew his pistol and fired all of its shots.

Unfortunately, bullets were completely ineffective against the brute, who moved towards him and tried to punch him. He managed to dodge it, but as he moved, the behemoth hit him in the stomach with his knee, pushing him back. Shun was unable to react when Berserker rose his foot and hit him on the same spot with it, sending him against the wall behind him. Hideki, who was observing the scene, chuckled darkly.

"Do you really think you can take on my Servant?" he mocked, as the brute serving him was still standing proud. Shun managed to pick himself off the ground. He was breathing heavily, but he was ready to fight back. He was even willing to push himself, if he had to.

"Kill him." Hideki ordered to his Servant, who, in response, roared ferociously. Shun managed to pick up his baton and was able to counter the behemoth's blade with it. The brute didn't desist and tried to slash him once more. He managed to defend himself again, but his opponent took advantage of his opening to kick him to the ground. Then, he swung his blade, but Shun managed to roll away from it. Berserker tried to stomp him, but he missed again. The policeman stood up as quickly as possible and managed to move quickly behind him and land a hit on the back with his baton.

Still, it did very little, and Shun had to move away in order to avoid his punch. But Berserker was far from done. He spun his sword and managed to slash him on the side. It was a narrow hit and didn't leave much of a cut, but the brute hit him on the stomach again with a spinning kick, and just like that Shun was on the wall again.

Hideki, who was observing the scene, chuckled again. But Shun was far from done. He took off his gloves and threw them to the ground. He then put a hand on his belt and charged at Berserker again. The behemoth tried to punch him with his free hand, but the policeman parried the strike, taking hold of the punching hand and keeping it away, he then swiftly took a grenade from his belt, pulled off the safety pin with his mouth, he then placed the bomb on Berserker's chest and pushed him back with a well aimed kick to the stomach. The brute lowered his head to see what was placed on his armored chest as the policeman crouched against the wall. The bomb exploded in a second.

Berserker was still completely undamaged, but his sword had fallen off its grip.

"I've told you, didn't I?" Hideki commented, with his malicious grin "The most you can do with those playthings is tickle him.". None of Shun's weapons could do anything against Berserker, but there was still something that he could try...

He used his foot to pull the behemoth's blade near him and picked it up, then he said

"What about his own weapon, then?"

as he swiftly charged against the brute and stabbed him in the chest. The Servant cried painfully. He managed to do something to him, even though it seemed that it wasn't enough to kill him.

Still, it was enough to make Hideki's grin vanish, as he stood up.

"Impossible!" he thought "This can't be, unless..." It was then that he realized something about the man who had come to face him.

There was no time to think about it, though. It was time to act. After stabbing Berserker, Shun slashed upwards, extracting the blade, and charged angrily against Hideki, while his behemoth was stepping backwards, covering his wound with his arm.

"You're next!" he shouted. He was unaware that Berserker wasn't dead yet. Hideki knew that he couldn't joke around any longer. He prepared himself to dodge his attacks and counterattack. Small red sparks could be seen on both of his hands, as the policeman was rapidly approaching him…

A man in his 60s opened his eyes and quickly rose his head from the chair he was resting on. He had just awakened from a nightmare. He had white hair and red eyes and he was dressed in black. He was in his office, a well-furnished room. The lights were off, since he was resting. The man decided to turn on the lamp on his desk. He took a notebook from his drawers and put it on the desk, opening it. It was a database of people who were involved with him and with the corporation of which he was the CEO. It was then that he heard a knocking at the office door.

"You may enter." he said. The door opened and one of his employees entered the room, making sure to close the door behind him. He was dressed in black as well. The man had called him.

"Did you call me, Ryoki-sama?" he asked.

"Yes." the employer replied him "I have a job for you."

"What is it, sir?". Ryoki showed him a particular photograph of a particular man listed in the notebook.

"I need to talk to this man." he explained "Tomorrow afternoon you will go to his house and you will bring him to me, got it?"

"Understood, sir." the employee answered.

"You can find the address on this page. You should write it down." the corporate owner advised, his worker followed, retrieving a small piece of paper and writing down the address he needed.

"You're dismissed." Ryoki said. "I'll be leaving shortly as well."

"Yes, sir." With that, the employee left the room.

Ryoki turned the notebook back to himself and looked at the picture.

"You… You were among the ones who were trying to stop my son, and you managed to hold your own against him and his Servant..." he mused, with a smirk on his face. "You took my son away, I can't forgive you for that, but still… You might be useful to me... Work with me, Shun Akemi. Work with me and atone for what you've done."

With that, he put on his coat, turned off the lamp on his desk and exited the room, heading home.
