From now on, I'll reply to reviews regardless if the update is a special or not, so yay!

That said, reviews!

EpicLinkSam: Indeed I am! Nature has got nothing on me! [Proceeds To Get Blown Away By A Hurricane]

BreezyNymph2375: Haha! I honestly don't know what to say to that, regarding Jin's sudden upgrade. And Jubei, you say? Well, you'd be surprised to see what he's been up to in the last 4 years. Good to see that you're hyped.

Guest: Nah, writing any more fighting scenes will take away my motivation. There will be some fights here and there in the future, but not so much. I realised that this story had quite a few problems, and that was one of 'em. So in conclusion, too much fighting is out of the question. But in my opinion, Adachi stomps.

SifTheGreat: Thanks dude. You have my appreciation for being one heck of a reader and reviewer. You will see Jubei again, fear not, but just not in this special.

Biddy: Sounds about right. Wink wink nudge nudge.

Gerard Sta Maria Terumi 310: It's good to be back, and don't mind me. I'm just happy to see familiar people again. Haha! Good luck with your job too by the way.

So with that done, enjoy the special!

I own nothing.

Shit, they're staring…

Ragna munched on his burger as sweat rolled down his forehead, trying to ignore the fact that everyone was eyeing his table. It was uncomfortable, to say the least. Though frankly speaking, he knew that this was going to be a bad idea from the start, but due to the noises being emitted from the stomach of his little companion, he just had to.

Speaking of his companion…

"Don't just play with your soda. Eat up. I paid the damn thing, so don't make me regret my decision."

Slightly flinching upon hearing his gruff voice, the little assassin timidly reached for her burger and took a small bite, eyes downcast.

Ragna sighed.

"Look, I'm not gonna swallow you up like some Grimm, so don't hold back with your food. Not planning on taking you to the authorities either."

She finally looked to him with upturned eyes, and he could tell that she was still afraid of him.

"I just need your help with finding a certain bull, you got me? After that, I'll let you off the hook." He took another large bite out of his burger and rested his chin on the palm of his hand, eyeing the ceiling as he did so in order to avoid the stares. "You should consider yourself lucky that I'm the one who's dealing with you. If it was that jackass you tried to kill earlier today…"

She swallowed and paled.

"...you'd probably find your decapitated head being stuffed in a trash bag by now."

She placed her burger down on her tray and pushed it in his direction, shaking her head timidly soon after.

Shit. Didn't mean to ruin your meal, kid, Ragna thought. And he could only assume that she knew that she was sitting with someone who could easily mop the floor with her, hence the reason why she was acting all timid.

Still, that wasn't enough of an excuse for not finishing a meal that he paid for.

"Finish that burger," he said in a stern voice. "Or else."

That worked.

"After we're done eating, we're moving. Questions?"

The little assassin shook her head with a mouthful of her meal, and despite the desperate look on her face, Ragna couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

"Don't force it down, kid. Take it slow."

Just how powerful is this thing!?

The crimson monstrosity towered over him with its blade held up high, but before it could even finish him off, Adam quickly rolled to the side and sprinted his way towards the exit.

While he did, he spared a glance to his surroundings.

Each and every one of his men, gone. In just a matter of minutes at that.

His plans were foiled. Just thinking about it made his blood boil, but unfortunately he had other things to worry about, and one of those things was his health. Bruised and clothes tattered, ragged breathing, it was clear that he was in no shape to continue this fight, and as prideful as he was, Adam had to admit that he had lost this battle.

There was no way he could beat that man and his monstrosity.

"And where do you think you're going?"

The very thing that he was trying to escape from came dropping down in his path, cracking the concrete ground somewhat. The thing proceeded to lunge right at him without giving him a moment of preparation. In desperation, Adam followed its movements and escaped through the narrow space right in between its legs, thus giving him the chance to fight another day.

He shouldered through the door which led to outside and kept his legs working nonstop. Looking back to see if the man was chasing after him was a huge gamble in his opinion, so he decided not to. All he could do now was keep on running.

And running.

Though soon after he found himself colliding with someone, which resulted in him falling on his ass.

"Tch!"

Someone dared to get in his way at a time like this!? How foolish!

"Hey! Watch where you're going-"

"Hah?"

That voice…

His blood went icy cold.

It couldn't…

"Well if it isn't Adam Taurus. I was just looking for you."

Adam slowly faced up, and what met his eyes confirmed his fears.

The Grim Reaper.

And the one behind him, was that…Neo?

"Black Onslaught!"

Well shit.

-IIXII-

Adachi casually peeked his head out the entrance of the building, and soon found himself smiling upon witnessing the sight of his prey getting beaten to a pulp by the one and only Grim Reaper.

And Neo was with him? Great!

"Well, that's convenient." He pulled his head back inside and turned to his Persona, grinning. "Guess I won't be needing you anymore. You can go now." With a simple dismissive wave of his hand, his Persona turned away and vanished. "Mission accomplished. Now, better get back to HQ or else my boss will get mad at me. Heh."

This special is somewhat shorter than the rest, just want you to know. I'm still trying to get back on track, so give me some time to practice my writing again. Thanks for being patient guys.

CPL, signing out.
