[ It's been awhile since I've written anything. It might be a little choppy, i apologize. I also tried to make it as though to fit within the time lines of the original manga. A lot of random thoughts and sometimes its hard to put them all in type form when I can picture it in my head. Haha. But regardless, I hope you enjoy.]

Nightfall crossed over the lands. The time to leave was now, within the shadows of the night. The chances of running into humans was much less now. Kyo had decided to leave, AND HAD ASKED Garou to come with her. But she knew that there was a risk in doing such. If this "hero hunter" wanted to leave, he would have to put aside his hunting and go along without bringing a fight. She had promised Bang that she was to take over in watching him. She had warned Garou that she would be the one to take him out if he stepped past what he was allowed. Even with this dislocated arm of hers, she would need to protect the heroes from him.

Tossing on, carefully, a hood from a vest, her canine ears were concealed. It was better to prepare rather than take the chance that they wouldn't run into, not only humans, but heroes as well. Not all of the heroes knew that she was a monster on their side. And with a dislocated arm, she wanted to avoid as much trouble as possible.

"Tsk, I aint making any promises to you, mutt." Garou spoke with an unhappy look upon his face.

"I can't leave, unless you come with me, and the condition is that you can't hurt any heroes."

"Like I said, I'm not making any promises."

She sighed, and looked back at her home, before she stepped out and away from it and began her descend down the mountain.

With the dead of the night, she led the way, with a bright moon overhead. But from overhead, they would not go unseen. A monster with a large wing span, would glide from above, and back a ways. Doing well to go unseen, and undetected, as far as he would hope. He had been sent by their operations leader. A monster named Gyoro Gyoro. This watchmen of a spy would wait for his opportunity. The hero hunter's presence had seemed to disappear from the world for some time, but the moment it came back, the Phoenix Man was off, upon orders. They wanted the hero hunter, regardless of where he might be headed, it would serve as a nice candidate for a warrior of the battle field for the Monster Organization.

Phoenix Man would fly lower.

"When we get to the base of the mountain, the closest city is Z City. From there I'll try to get in contact with Gen-" She caught herself before finishing Genos' name. Garou wouldn't be one to like hearing the names of enemies that he planned to rip to shred with his own hands.

"Huh? What you say, mutt?" Garou said with an annoyed tone.

"Nothing, nothing. I was just saying how I'll need to get in contact with the… doctor… Yup!" she kept her gaze away from Garou, letting out a deep breath. The last thing she wanted was him to take off in search of revenge.

"Tsk. Whatever." He walked with his hands down at his sides, while Kyo walked with her right arm holding her left arm to the side of her to keep it from swinging more than it needed to. It was damaged, and she didn't want to only make it worse. A few of the wires were hanging out from the shoulder area, as the hologram of skin over the mecha arm would flicker in and out.

"Now." The Phoenix spy softly spoke to himself as his acceleration picked up and he took off, spreading his talons and taking hold of Garou by the shoulders.

Kyo swiftly turned around to only catch the sight of the bird taking off over her head with the hero hunter in his clutches. Both taken by surprise as the bird took to the sky, giving Kyo no time to react.

"WHAT THE HELL!? LET ME GO YOU $% &*% BIRD!" Garou cursed, looking up.

"I wouldn't struggle, if I were you. My orders were to bring you back alive and in one piece, and if you fall from here, I can't say I'd be doing what I was told. So just sit back, and don't make this worse, hero hunter."

From ground level, Kyo's eyes stayed focus of the large bird as she took off running down the mountain and following after them. Her right ram still holding her left as she tried to make due with her situation. She was still in a recovery mode, even if she were a monster herself.

"GAROU!" She yelled, as she began to lose sight of them as thick trees began to be replaced with tall building remains. She was entering into Z City.

It was still late into the night, and the moon could only light up so much. Nut Kyo did her best in trying to maneuver around the buildings. The entrance had to be close, the Phoenix Man had lowered his decent as he neared the city. Leaving her to wander in and out through the city, completely losing sight of the two, and before she knew it, dawn was rolling in. The light of a new day had come too late. Sweat rolling down the side of her face as she had kept as a brisk pace, after slowing down from her run, upon entering the city. But with the rise of a new day, the morning patrols would come, making Kyo have to take a few detours. She was in a rush, and rather avoid fellow monsters. Who knows what they might have heard. A monster fighting against the Monster Organization? It was better to avoid questions. She needed to find Garou. She was his responsibility. She promised that to Bang. And that would need to come first before fixing a damages cyborg arm.

A few days would pass. Her brisk pace was now a somewhat dragging walk. She had to find Garou. But why was it harder to do so? She was exhausted, and a damaged arm was getting stiff and painful. She hadn't done much in stopping to eat or sleep, and the moment finally came when she encountered several monsters out on patrol.

"Oi! Isn't that a monster? She got those ears on the top of 'er head!"

"But aint no other monsters suppose to be patrolling this area but us."

"Maybe she's lost?"

"Psh, she can't be lost, but she looks worn out." A group of four marine based looking monsters discussed as they made their way following behind her.

"Oi! What are you doin' in out patrol area?!" the largest of the four called out. He was the strongest looking of the four, with biceps and triceps to look like that of a human's but a head like that of an angler fish; with his bottom jaw longer than his top jaw and a little antenna of a light hanging just above his forehead. The lower ones to look like that of a Tadpole, a crawfish, and a Mudpuppy, with a more "derp" like expression on their faces.

"Hey hey hey Boss! That's HER!" whispered the tadpole, in a somewhat panic. "The monster that Gyoro Gyoro talked about in keeping our eyes open for her."

"Hee? What was that about again?"

"You know you know! That one monster who was teaming up with da heroes!"

A smirk crossed the deep sea fish monster's face, as he cracked his knuckles. "Then this is the good chance to show off to Gyoro Gyoro!" The picked up their pace.

"Hey you, why don't you come with us?" he stated as he stepped up behind her, casting a shadow down over her.

Kyo had stopped at the intersection to try and decided where to go next. With so much damage to the city, things started to look more of the same rather than be uniquely different. But with the shadow to cover over her, she turned to look back, and up. Her eyes showing she was tired. Her left arm just dangling at her side.

"I don't have time to deal with no names like you." She clicked her tongue and turned away from them, about to take another step forward.

"I don't think so" the leader stated as he grabbed onto her right shoulder to pull her back, and turn her to face them once more. "Yer' coming with us, girlly."

"Ya! Who you think you is, teaming up with da heroes?!" Mudpuppy chimed in.

"Us monsters all are supposes to be on the same teams!" bellowed the crawfish, as he pinched his clawed hands together a few times.

"tsk." She clicked her tongue and pulled her shoulder away from his grasp, and proceeded to turn away once more.

"Oi! You're not going anywhere!" the angler fish said, and grabbed her left arm that seemed less resisting.

A sharp pain rushed threw her cyborg arm and into her body. And only grew in pain as her feet soon were no longer touching the ground. A dark glare on her face as she looked up at this 7 foot tall ugly faced monster. She had to hide weakness. She knew that if she showed any signs, then they would only torment her more, but with an arm that was only connected now by a few wires, she couldn't hide the beads of sweat that rolled down her face and neck.

"I said back off, ugly" she growled, as she scrunched up her face like that of a dog.

"I don't think you are in any position to give orders, miss anti monster!"

"Ya ya ya! What him said!"

"Look at 'er arm! Is looks like it's gonna fall off!" another laughed.

Kyo shoved her foot up against the leader, making him release her as she then made haste to turn and take off running.

"ophf!" He recoiled, as one hand went to his gut. "That's some kick you got, girlly! But it aint gonna stop me in my chance to look good for Gyoro Gyoro!" he charged forward and swung an arm, sending her sliding off to the left, and rolling a bit, as she could feel her cyborg arm becoming weaker. She was already worn out, and maybe if she had at least rested for a while, these guys would be chump meat to her. But she wasn't one for being able to go several days without sleep, and now it was taking its toll.

"What's the matter, girlly? Aint gonna fight?" he chuckled. "All bark and no bite! HA!" he walked towards her, and got ready to kick her.

A game of dodging would occur, as Kyo did her best to not only avoid, but to take off. But with four of them cornering her into the middle of the intersection, her fumes were going out. Her breathing heavy as she babied her left arm to try and avoid any more damage. But with the launch of all four of them at once at her, she soon found herself being dangled by her right arm, in the claw of the second tallest ugly face, the crawfiherman. He pinched her wrist hard, not to draw blood, unless she thrashed some; and she did. But with that ugly faced leader chuckling, and lifting up her left hanging arm, he began to pull on it, away from her body, as if to stretch her out.

"Hm, I wonder how far I can pull before something tears. Hehehe…"

"Do it! Do it! Do it!" the other three chanted. Her body exhausted, as she was covered in cuts and scrapes. Blood splatters across her being was an ending result to her dodging that in the end, failed her. She never was once for defense, but when her offence was out of commission, she would be left in fate's hands.

"Pull! Pull! Pull!" they chanted.

"The poor little girlly, aint so tough now, huh?" he questioned as she began to pull her arm, as the Crawfisherman held her right hand. Her eyes widening as her body began to get further from the ground as she was stretched out further and further. Her body coming to make a "T" shape as he pulled more and more, and soon, the wires began to snap, as did the pieces that covered them. Her left arm, stretching out as wires only pulled out from both the cyborg arm, as well as out of the base that was to be her left shoulder area. Blood gushing out, the more it was pulled.

"HOOOWWWWWLLLLLLLL!" She cried out as she threw her head back as her arm was then ripped from her body. Her head to then hang forward as she was on the brink of losing consciousness.

"Aww is that your cry of pain? Too bad you still gotta go up against Gyoro Gyo-" He was cut off as he was silenced in one motion, and his arms dropped to his sides, and the cyborg arm released from his grasps. The arm tumbling slightly away from Kyo as the Angler fish fell forward with no head.

"What the!?" the Crawfisherman turned his head, and soon he felt his claw release Kyo's right arm, as she fell to the ground on her back. His body shoved back away from the group as an after effect of cut marks sliced him up and ended his life.

Kyo's head turn turned to her right. She could see, and feel her right arm, but her left arm laid a ways from her left side. Her heavy eyes blurry as she could see someone… no. there was more than one person. Two? Three? She could see the last of the marina monsters be ripped to shreds as a very pissed looking Garou raged over the monsters.

"Everything's going to be alright, Kyo." She could hear Bang's voice call out as the sight of him and Bomb, the brother, seemed to be taking care of other monsters who had been attracted to the scene.

"Garou…" she weakly whispered out. She could see him ripping the monsters till nothing was left. Finally. She found him. And all it took was for her to have her arm ripped away from her body. "Garou…" she called out again as her eyes slowly closed, and she lost consciousness.

"KYOOOO!" Garou's voiced yelled with anger as he made the last monster burst. His feet almost tripping over themselves as he ran to Kyo, and slipped an arm behind her neck and head.

"Wait!" Bang called out as he and Bomb finished off their little group of monsters.

"WHY THE HELL DO I NEED TO WAIT!?"

"Because…! She's bleeding out all over. We need to at least stop that before we move her, or else she might bleed to death."

Without even thinking, Garou yanked his shirt off and ripped it in smaller pieces, handing it to Bang. "HERE!" he barked, as if threating the old man.

An unhappy look on Bang's face occurred, but soon vanished as he ignored the tone of his once greatest pupil. He was gentle to bandage up the ripped off arm. Parts of metal and wires still remained attached to her body, but unlike Genos' body, this arm was mixed with flesh.

"There." Bang finished and stood back up.

"Now then," he dusted himself off, and picked up the ripped off arm, "Now if you know what's good for her, as well as yourself. You'll be careful in how you act from this point on. For the sake of your savior."

"…." Garou said nothing as he kept his face down. His other arm sliding under Kyo and picking her up. Just this once, he would listen to his old teacher. He would follow after Bang, as Bomb followed behind, to make sure no ambushes would occur. Kyo's body lying in his arms, as her right arm crossed over her midsection, and her left side away from Garou. Her head turned in against his body as he could see that she didn't even have the strength to keep her mouth fully closed. Her lips parted slightly as blood replaced sweat in dripping down the side of her face.
