Chapter 4: Repulsive lot

07:07 AM (Japan Time), Monday December the 3rd…

"… Ugh… Grah… Ungh… What a… headache! My whole body hurts and I feel SO dizzy…! Where the hell am I…? Huh? What's this…? Oh shit. I know what's happened…!"

"Check it out! Welcome to my evil, blessed and repulsive turf! Hoshikawa Subaru!"

"Night Baron!"

"No… Gerudo Tribe King… Ganondorf!"

"Ganondorf?"

Subaru began to wake up while groaning and feeling a headache: a familiar voice rang out with plenty of sarcasm and he cursed when he realized the predicament he was in.

"Heh, heh, heh… It was worth it waiting some years… Your body is better now than it was 3 years ago…"

"What the…"

Subaru had been placed face-up on a bed placed inside of a vast room: most of it was unlit so it was hard to guess its scale: he could see four steel beams rising from the ground in the corners of one large grayish tile in the ground and until unseen heights.

Where the hell is this at?

He'd been stripped off his clothing and he had ropes tied slightly below his shoulders but above his nipples and another one where the torso began.

These ropes kept his arms behind his back placed one above the other and another set of ropes kept the wrists tied to each other thus immobilizing them.

His legs had been compacted with ropes around the hips and near the knees.

He also had a leather collar around his neck.

Shit. Not S&M again…!

Night Baron or, otherwise, Ganondorf, was looming over him while standing to Subaru's right: he'd taken off his clothes and had only a loincloth hanging down from a thin circle circling his waist and that hovered over his cock as if to hide its real size.

He had a rather dark-skinned body and an evil look to his red-iris eyes: his hair was reddish in color and he appealed to be on his late 20s or early 30s from the looks of it.

"Heh, heh, heh… How do I know that? I was monitoring you from time to time and spied you when in the shower."

"WHAT?" Subaru growled.

"But other stuff recalled me after the Meteor G deal and, by the time, I came back you'd vanished into thin air… I must admit that I fell for the smokescreen Vadous came up and it wasn't until later that I realized what had happened… Given the chaos that ensued when IQ – sama was arrested by the cops…" He chuckled.

"Shit. You're another of those leftovers!"

"Leftover? Hah! Wrong. I'm no mere leftover. I'm a fully fledged field agent, the only one Their Grace trusted in! I accomplished what other meek guys had been unable to accomplish."

"If you were aiming to break me down… I won't make it easy!"

"Heh! I knew you wouldn't. If even Futaba could overcome a year and half of S&M then… Heh. But I'll be using new tactics that those morons can't hope to comprehend!"

"Such as?" Subaru tried to look unimpressed.

"Such as Moon Disaster's newest show: the Moon Mexican Show!" He sneered.

"Moon Mexican Show?" He groaned.

"Don't believe me? Here's a sample!"

He snapped his right hand's fingers and some speakers crackled into life from several unseen spots.

"YO! YO! YO! Burrito bonito! Welcome to Moon Ace's Mexican Show for all Mexican fellows out there! Hasta que el maligno ni dijo "benigno!" no hubo beningo maligno! YO! YO! YO!"

"Someone save my sanity. It sounds like a poor attempt at a pun or a tongue-twister!" Subaru groaned.

"Heh, heh, heh. "Until evil didn't say "blessed!" there weren't blessed evils!"…" Ganondorf translated.

"Blessed evils? It's so STUPID!"

"That's why I said my tactics are different… I'll grant you what you hate the most and what you fear the most… Randomness and madness! Let's see how long you'll endure this! Preludes are over! Hah!"

"WHA?"

Ganondorf suddenly tossed the loincloth away and revealed a huge cock that could be about 7 cm wide: Subaru gasped in fear as Ganondorf sat on the bed and grabbed Subaru's leg ropes to pull his ass towards his already hard cock: Subaru couldn't impede his body from sliding forward and he gasped in shock when he felt the cock brutally pushing it was inside of him: he groaned.

"Heh, heh, heh. Let's get the show on the road! And don't trust Burai to get ya outta the mess this time around! I can't be found! This hideout is perfect! And I've prepared a lot of "entertainment" for the impatient lot out there… "However… For those holding their breath, waiting impatiently for their prey in this heat… I'd like to treat them to some hot, bitter coffee."…" Ganondorf chuckled before he was joined by a re-played voice that rang out of everywhere.

T-this guy thinks he's funny…! But this cock is too big…! It's gonna tear me apart…! Shit…! But I'll prove to you that I'll endure it…! Just you wait!

"YO! YO! YO! Un pato dijo "patos!" y los patos vinieron! A duck said "ducks!" and the ducks came!"

"I added an auto-translate algorithm! How's that like? No need to hire interpreters! Install that, you lazy UN bureaucrats!"

"Go to… Hell!"

"That's not in my script!"

"Sheesh!"

"Script is a trauma word, eh? Reminds you too much of Hideous Hyde of Hides?" He laughed.

"Shut the hell… up!"

"Oho. So your real mood is surfacing… Good, good… Otherwise it'd be too boring… I need them to struggle and fight and exhaust their strength until I drive them to the edge… There are plenty of devices here that'll make you feel like never before! Heh, heh, heh!"

"Shit…!"

"… Heh, heh, heh… And once I possess the absolute power… Once I possess the Triforce… This world's future shall be forever ruled by the Demon Tribe!"

"What… Triforce!"

"Heh, heh, heh. Dunno. Ask Akatsuki. But he'll tell ya it's a national secret." He sneered.

"You've made it up! I'm not an idiot!"

"Of course not. Else you wouldn't have gotten IQ – sama's interest ever since about 8 years ago. Because, ya know…"

"Shut up! As far as I care that person is unrelated to me!"

"Oho. So the guy's not your aniki~?"

"Of course not! Just someone I know! Omega – san will mincemeat you!"

"Omega! Hah! I'd like to see the guy trying. I'll have the guy and Burai sweat a lot today. Heh, heh, heh."

"Hell!"

"Yeah… This is Hell… The makai… There's no escape from here! It's about time Vadous realizes he's not an overwhelmingly powerful Demon! But a simple Light God wannabe! Hah!" Ganondorf snickered.

He snapped his right hand's thumb and index finger and a Voltic Eye floated down while transporting a silver suitcase: it landed next to Ganondorf and he opened it: he rummaged inside and drew two small metallic cups with weights on their ends and a string connecting them: he clipped those to Subaru's nipples and he gasped: Ganondorf began to pull them with the string and Subaru's moans increased.

"Heh, heh, heh. Your body will soon want more of this! Let the bodies hit the sex!" He laughed.

"That's… lame!"

"And now… My best shot! Semejante maligno beningo repeligno no podrá con semejante repeligno beningo maligno! Such an evil, blessed and repulsive thing won't be able to stand up to such a repulsive, blessed and evil thing!" Moon Disaster laughed.

"THAT your BEST SHOT? You just switched the order of words! You lazy moron! And they say you're the Moon's strongest warrior? They all gotta be amateurs!" Subaru groaned out of exasperation and annoyance.

"Heh, heh, heh. Feel the despair!"

"Like I will! You smug cheating triple-crossing rascal!"

"Stubborn, aren't cha? Heh, heh, heh. The Mahogany Agony has but begun, Hoshikawa~… You'll soon crave for more~…"

The lights went off and all became pitch-black: the vague figure of Ganondorf raping Subaru could barely be spotted: the recording kept on.

S-shit. This is bad…! But…! I'll endure… no matter what! I promise!

09:09 AM (Japan Time)…

"… I'm telling you lowlifes I only knew that that bastard was named Night Baron!"

"And how did he find you?"

"I found a post in an underground board that said "I want Crimson. High pay. Bring me goods to this address."… And so I did! The guy immediately said that I was hired and with the money he gave me…!"

"You got reeled in."

"Hmpf!"

Akatsuki and another 3 Satella Police Commandos were conducting an interrogation on Hyde inside of a questioning room: Hyde had been handcuffed and was leaning both fists on the table: he looked angered while Akatsuki was cool and composed: Acid was hovering next to him as well.

"You tabloid-hired lot! Your victory is but a bittersweet victory!" Hyde sneered at them.

"Who said that of yesterday was a victory, anyway? It was a complete and absolute defeat." Akatsuki grumbled.

"Shidou. Be cool."

"Leave me alone, Mr. Speaker!"

"Not again…" Acid sighed.

"HMPF! Companion dispute, eh?" Hyde taunted.

"Well. Who knows?"

"You've lost your ace-in-the-sleeve!"

"I am the ace, mind you." He dully replied.

"Che!"

"Complain to Mr. Universe."

"Hmpf!"

"Oi! Akatsuki! Ya! Ya didn't find anything yet?" War Rock burst in all of a sudden.

"Misora, Omega, Burai, Lartes and Vadous are doing that! I'm here trying to get as much info in the culprit as possible! We need to know whom we're up against!" Akatsuki replied.

"Grrr! I'm going wild! I'm gonna smash all suspicious places there and there 'till I shave that rascal! Later!"

"OI! War Rock! Sheesh! What an impatient guy! Someone keep tabs on the guy…! Call Blood Shadow and have him keep tabs on the guy! On the double, Acid!"

"Acknowledged. Message transmitted… Reply received. Vadous approves of that too."

"So then. Akatsuki. Did you bring forth a disaster as your title beckoned, I take it?" Queen Tia's voice rang out of his Hunter – VG.

"Stop eavesdropping into me! Queen Tia! And take that back! I'm Acid Ace and don't believe anything that lion wannabe says!"

"And if I want to…? What will you do?"

"Sheesh."

"It is obvious that the culprit is not a commoner."

"Oh yeah? You wouldn't happen to be involved, would you?" Akatsuki demanded with obvious mistrust.

"Why would I support the old system? It would get on my way were it to resurrect." She dully replied.

"Sheesh. Not you too…! You need to thaw out or else you'll end up repeating the madness the "Ice Queen" caused!"

"History shall judge. Not a traitor."

"Oh yeah? We're back at that? Didn't you say you didn't care about…?"

"… Dealer? Hmpf. As an organization it was useful to set me on the path I must walk… And giving me the resources and the means…"

"By all the… We'll settle this later! I'm BUSY!"

"Busy-body." She sarcastically replied.

"Sheesh."

"I fail to see the logic."

"It's but a damned lame pun! Ignore it, Acid!"

"Acknowledge."

"So. Computer. You can bite?"

"I thought it'd been proven clear enough some weeks ago."

"Hmpf. Guess that."

"You spoiled lil girl! Don't get in MY way!" Hyde threatened.

"And what if I do…? Will you come defy me…? So be it… I shall make experience eternal sleep… Beneath the Antarctic ice… As a fool who tried to stand up to the Icy Empress…"

"Oh hell. You've even picked your new title?" Akatsuki cursed.

"Indeed… Soon… I shall be the Icy Empress… And then… You shall become my nutrient… You should be feeling thankful to me."

"Shit."

The line went dead all of a sudden and Hyde began to curse and hiss under his breath.

"Anyway! Back to the earlier talk! You don't know anything else? How did you get the money?"

"Cash! Always two cases full of it…! I had it stored on several Taiwan accounts and banks to be safe…! But I won't tell you where!"

"It surely must be the money robbed off a Singapore bank 3 months ago."

"Good point, Ryuusuke. So we'd get nothing by trying to trace it back: and the suitcases were surely devoid of finger-prints. Any luck trying to find that manservant, that Zing fellow?"

"No luck insofar. Maybe it was a disguise and his name wasn't Zing to begin with…"

"Communication from Taiwan National Police! Zing exists and is the manservant of the millionaire the house belongs to. He was led to believe Night Baron was a business partner of the millionaire and never asked any questions. Night Baron always ate and slept outside of the house but he doesn't know where. He used a bike to move from place to place and the police did find it… at the bottom of a canyon, broken into pieces and burnt up…" A female Commando rushed in and reported.

"I see. And he surely changed somewhere in the 5 km road until the city: this way he'd be able to mingle with the crowds… Maybe he used some non-charted road or a pedestrian path to give the impression he came from a different direction altogether…" Akatsuki deduced.

"It's a very feasible theory."

"Good. We've got no more use for Hyde. Escort him to the prison. Make sure Cygnus Wing and Wolf Forest stand by to escort the van. Shinobi could try to assault it. But this time we're not going to be caught off-guard with the bunshin ability."

"Roger."

"I'll have my revenge~!"

"Sure, sure. Script rascal."

"SUGRAWASHA~H!" He howled something undecipherable.

Two Commandos dragged him out of the room and Akatsuki came out in the corridor: Daigo, Amachi, Dr. Yoiri and the Chief were waiting there: he sighed and nodded sideways.

"No luck. Hyde knew nothing valuable. The culprit has been deceiving everyone from the start."

"What a…!" Daigo cursed.

"I know, sir, I know." Akatsuki sighed.

"Huff, huff… Daigo – san!"

"Huh? Ah! Heartless."

Heartless (wearing the same uniform as the WAXA Operators) rushed over there.

"I remembered! That Night Baron man… He once came to the hideout and said he had a message for Mr. King from "IQ", that is, from the "Ice Queen"! Mr. King turned white on the spot, Queen Tia raised an eyebrow, Jack frowned and Joker merely guided him in… He told all of us to disband, Joker included… But I left a wiretap behind to listen… I managed to find the file… That was right after the Mu Continent deal!" She explained.

"Oh! Maybe it'll be some hint!"

Heartless nodded and activated her Hunter – VG.

"… What does "IQ" want out of me?" King's voice questioned.

"Hmpf… You're amusing, Mr. King… Cha and cha game with the red comet toy… So IQ – sama says that they won't interfere. But if you poke your nose where you're not asked to… You'll become a corpse."

"You lowlife…! Threatening me…! I can have…!"

"Hmpf… No need to continue… You can have your precious Joker blow me up in one blow. I know the guy's a Wizard… But then IQ – sama would blow you up instead… Remember this, King… You've been warned… There'll be no second warning… Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh… Mwah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah! Hyah, hah, hah, hah, hah, ha~h!"

"Devil. This man seems capable of killing and laughing at it, even!"

"Another reason to hurry up and try to find his trail!" Akatsuki growled.

"Where in the world are they?" Amachi hissed.

"We need a hint! Anything will do! But soon! Or else…! Damn it all!"

10:22 AM (Japan Time)…

"… Who goes there?"

"Calm down. It's me, Burai."

"Omega, huh… So?"

"Nothing. The place I thought of was empty and dusty. It must be some place we didn't know about… I'm trying to look at register to see if any new odd building got built as of late…"

"Fine. That's not a bad idea either. I poked around the Dealer hideout and found that someone had turned the Crimson Factory back on. The Mu Device wasn't there anymore, though."

"Shit. That explains how the rascal got his hands on it."

Burai had been scouting a large, empty and largely unlit warehouse until he saw someone walk up to him: he drew the Laplace Blade but it turned out to be an ally so he lowered it.

"I know, Omega… I investigated the scene of yesterday but found nothing… If there was anything I guess it would've been found by the Satella Police by now…"

Omega happened to be a Wizard about a meter and eighty tall.

A blue jewel shaped like an inverted triangle was set on the forehead of his helmet which was emitting a cross-shaped flash.

His eyes' irises were blue and they displayed seriousness while long blond hair came out from behind him and reached until the floor.

He had a red vest over his mainly black body and red armor over his forearms and boots: two golden circlets were set around his forearms and on his boots as well.

"U~h…" A low-toned moan-like voice rang out.

"Who goes there?" Burai drew his blade.

"Show your hide."

Omega drew a gun with a light frame and having a sliding switch on the left side of its frame: the muzzle looked bigger than that of a usual gun as well.

"U~h…!"

Some soft sounds rang out but the wideness of the space and its poor lighting made it hard to guess where they came from: Omega formed a flash-bang grenade and threw it at the ground towards his NW: the flash stunned a figure and it collapsed into the ground only to rise back with some effort.

"What the fuck is this thing?"

"Dunno! One thing's clear: that's not human!"

The owner of the voice turned out to be a human-like aberration that seemed to be based off a male body yet it lacked body hair, organs or a recognizable face.

Its skin had turned into a mix of dull gray and pink: instead of hands it had some deformed limbs with spear-like formations protruding out of them.

The feet lacked fingers and they had some of those formations protruding out of them too.

The most disgusting part was the head: it had no hair, no visible ears or eyes: the teeth had turned into fang-like teeth and only the upper row existed: the mouth seemed to be wider than usual and lacked lips as well.

Its movements were slow and erratic as if it lacked a sense of orientation and balance.

"U~h…" More voices rang out.

"Shit. We're surrounded?" Burai realized.

"They're Denpa Bodies."

"Ah. So it's the culprit's handiwork."

"Yeah. The invisible attackers surely were Denpa Bodies as well."

"So? What do we do?"

"Isn't it obvious? Dispose of them. They surely have no valuable data to begin with. The culprit could've been monitoring my movements and summoned them here." Omega calmly replied.

"Fine."

"Eat plasma!"

Omega shot a round of plasma that hit the enemy and it immediately got deleted: some more of them began to come: Burai glanced at Omega, he nodded, and he jumped into the air as Burai swept the area with one swift motion of the Laplace Blade.

"Who wants more?"

More and more of them began to rush there: one gripped Burai and suddenly opened the mouth to take out an elongated extension with a circular mouth filled with teeth: Burai cut its waist in half and it collapsed on the ground: Burai then landed down a blow that split its head in half and it got deleted.

"Beej. They're gross!" He complained.

"I don't wanna know what the hell they are. I'll destroy each and every one of them!"

"Well said!"

"What's going on, Omega?" A voice asked over his radio.

"Boss? Huff. Burai and I are being assaulted by some aberrations the culprit got out of God knows where. See."

"By all the… What freaks!"

"I know, Vadous…! Any ideas to end this quickly?"

"Hmmm… Try the portable "Copy Canceller"… Maybe they're using the means King used to produce the War Rock copies…"

"It's worth a shot."

"Alright."

Omega lifted his left hand and formed a reddish spheroid of energy: he tossed it at the ground and a greenish shockwave ensued: it wiped out all of the enemies inside of the space while also revealing that the walls were painted with large red stains as if they were blood: the ground also was and the columns also were.

"What bad decorating taste." Omega grumbled.

"Truly." Burai fumed.

"U~h…"

"What? Is there no end to them or what?"

"Shit."

More of them showed up: there was a nearby explosion as a part of the wall got blown up: Blood Shadow and Sigma rushed in and began to shoot at the enemies.

"Did Boss send you here?"

"Huh? Sir Omega! We got a mail that looked like it'd been sent by Subaru – kun on a rush telling us he was here…" Blood Shadow reported.

"But it was checked by Akatsuki first, too, sir!" Sigma added.

"Sadly enough… I'm afraid you got fooled." Omega sighed.

"Shit. Excuse me, sir, but…!"

"Like I care. Go all out!"

"COME AT FULL POWER!"

"Let's go!"

The fighting resumed: Blood Shadow used his "Copy Canceller" and performed another sweep: they then spotted a purplish "portal" floating high in the air and that dropped the enemies into the building.

"There!"

However, a Break Count Bomb dropped from the "portal" before it closed so they rushed out as the bomb went off in a ball-shaped explosion that took out the steel beams and caused for the roof to collapse into the building: the group cursed under their breaths.

"The culprit was intending to take all of us out in one blow?" Burai guessed.

"Nah… It's a sweep. To prevent us from figuring out anything… He knew that we'd have time to escape… It's not the usual bastard. Unfortunately enough… From the lowlife's talk… It's gotta be some fanatical leftover of Anaya's madness." Vadous replied over the radio.

"Madness indeed! Seeking to kill Rock Man to plunge the world into a depression and sell off mass placebo anti-depressive drugs…!"

"It turns out that was a lie that I fell for! She really intended what this rascal must be doing: to kidnap him and torture him with that sickening S&M stuff!" Vadous growled.

"By all the…! It's gotta be Hell compared to those 2 defectives…!"

"Sure is! I was a witness to it! And it's one of my sins! Taking TOO long to realize…!" Vadous icily hissed.

"Let's discuss that later, Boss…" Omega sighed.

"I know! Huff! You 3! Return to the HQ: let's go over the battle data and try to figure out anything we might've not noticed."

"OK!"

"Burai… Do as you like."

"Hmpf… I knew that… I'll go threaten more lowlifes… Maybe one of them knows something… Later…"

A smaller "portal" opened and the 3 warriors rushed in while Burai fumed: Laplace returned to his normal form and hovered next to him: Burai rushed away followed by Laplace.

By all the… What a madwoman! Rot in that jail forever, you damned fool!

12:55 PM (Japan Time)…

"… Did we figure out anything yet? Boss?"

"No. Not yet. Akatsuki told me that the Commandos are interrogating some of the underground bosses…"

"Fine. Let's see if we get somewhere."

Omega had come to a room somewhere to talk with Vadous.

This room's floor was a narrow steel corridor wide enough for one person to stand which was shaped like two trapezes connecting each other by a line: the ground was lowered and covered in a grid – like metal on the spaces between each trapeze and to left and right of the corridor: another room could be seen expanding downwards below this one through the metallic grid's openings.

There was a small circle which marked the start of a rail crossing across the room until the other end: he followed it with his sight and ended up spotting a black metallic armchair with the Alphabet letter "V" painted behind it on purple color placed at the end of the rail.

The other end of the room contained a console which was filled with several LEDs, indicators, switches, levers and buttons plus a built-in keyboard and mouse pad.

Three gigantic and interconnected LCD screens had been affixed to the wall to be above it.

The room's walls had several metallic stripes built into it which contained round LED lights: the centermost point of the room had a hatch built into the ceiling which was currently closed.

The room had a dome shape.

"Huff. And if that was but a teaser of what the culprit has in store for us then… We're in deep shit. Boss."

"I know."

"Grah! Who the hell are we dealing with?"

"I'd like to know that, too…!"

The chair turned and Vadous faced Omega.

Vadous was a man who looked like he was on his mid-twenties.

His eyes' irises were red and his hair was colored jet-black yet it was neatly combed and arranged: there wasn't the slightest trace of facial hair on him.

He wore body armor made of an unknown grayish compound material: some purple patterns were drawn around it.

He sported a ragged, torn and worn out purple cape attached to the back of his shoulders which spread all the way to the ground but had some centimeters' margin of space.

He lastly carried two elaborated sword sheaths attached to the thick central belt colored black running around his waist.

"This is Burai… I interrogated the security guards of the manor but none had ever seen the rascal come in or out… You guys' theory seems to gain a lot of weight…" Burai radioed to Omega.

"Thought as much… I don't think it's worth it to search in Taiwan: it must one huge red herring… I'm convinced our culprit is somewhere in Japan: we'll try looking at private islands or stand-alone places… Or underground hangers or bunkers…"

"Speaking of which… Did you try that bunker you were obliged to use back when "Operation: Independence"?"

"Heck. I'd forgotten about that. Then again it was Izono, Anaya's lapdog, the one who set the place up… Go check it out! I've got the coordinates here…" Vadous gasped.

"Somehow I feel like that'll be a dead end too…"

"It's worth a try. What are we gonna do with the Crimson Factory, anyway?"

"Set permanent watch over it, obviously enough!"

"Alright. I've reached the entrance. Hah!"

There was a sound which surely was Burai busting the door: he immediately cursed under his breath.

"More freaks?"

"No! War Rock copies. Sheesh. And my "Copy Canceller" is still reloading and needs a while."

"Lovely… I think Sigma's still loaded so I'll send the guy over there on the double…" Vadous fumed.

"Fine."

"Sigma. You heard that. Move it."

"Roger!"

"Eat this, rubbish!"

"COME AT FULL POWER!" Sigma roared.

"No need to be so loud either."

"R-roger, sir."

Sounds of fighting ensued: the main LCD screen switched on the display Sigma's POV as he smacked the War Rock copies: Burai could be seen slightly ahead of him swinging his blade around: a dry chuckle echoed inside of the bunker.

"Six billion cries of agony will birth a new balance. Unfortunately, it's too late for you. You will not live to see the dawn." A man's voice excitedly announced.

"W-what?" Both gasped.

"Hmpf… Poor deluded lot. How you so love your precious self-righteousness." The voice taunted.

"Don't tell me." Burai was unimpressed.

"Smug rascal…!"

"Self-righteous fools! Ignorant cretins!"

The two of them jumped down an elevator shaft and reached another floor where they ran down a corridor: they busted a door and entered a room having some tall capsules surrounded by condensed air as if indicating that the insides were frozen: they all had a control console placed to the north and to the right of them.

"Sheesh. This room is where Izono tried to play a psychological demoralizing strategy back during "Operation: Independence"… Fortunately he didn't realize what was going on and the "Committee" had to play to pretend they were pawns…"

"Maybe the freaks are built here?"

"Could be."

"Let's smash them."

They began to smash them and when they smashed the last one they found Subaru standing inside and leaning against a central column: he had half-ring restrains on his wrists and ankles.

He had no clothes on and a bullet wound could be spotted over the stomach area.

His face depicted suffering and it looked like he'd bitten his lower lip as well given a small trail of frozen blood sliding down his chin.

"W-what?" Both gasped.

"Wait! That's the trap: a dummy! They wanted to make the Satella Police believe we'd killed him!" Vadous growled.

"By all the fucking…!" Sigma hissed.

"I'm about to make mincemeat of…!"

"And let her get away without bearing the weight of the pain she inflicted to the victims?" Vadous pointed out.

"Ah! Good point. Huff. Whatever."

"So smash it if you want. I guess the Satella Police left it like that because they wanted to conduct further analyses…"

"Alright. Take this, you damned fake!"

Both smashed the dummy to pieces: their attacks made the fake skin peel off and reveal the plastic body beneath it: the dry chuckle rang out again and both growled.

"Don't you two ever tire of failing on your mission? You've really become quite an inconvenience for me." The voice grumbled.

"Don't tell us." They all drily replied.

"Well then, I'll just have to kill you quickly. I'll see you dead! The human race requires judgment! War and pestilence wherever humans go! Has it never occurred to you that this planet is over-populated? Only a handful of humans truly matter. Everyone else is just so much chaff. So now I have to separate this chaff from the wheat. And with the Absolute Power I can finally do this." The voice began to get amused, cocky and eager all of a sudden.

"By all the…" They all cursed next.

"You haven't changed. Are you trying to make me angry? Let's finish this!"

"Self-destruct program activated. This program cannot be cancelled."

"Fuck. Get us outta here!"

"Roger!"

Vadous warped them out of the place and into the mountain: alarms rang out followed by sequential explosions: smoke and fire began to ensue before it all shuddered and then became quiet.

"Fuck and fuck. We'll have to walk with lead feet!" Burai cursed.

"Who the hell is this psychopath?" Omega growled.

"I'd like to know as well…! I'll make mincemeat of them myself!"

Show your damned hide, you bastard! I'll erase you from this world!
