Angel Beats! REBORN!
Episode 7: Deep Inside
"I'm sorry Master" said Demon.
"Sorry does not do anything!" said a Demonic voice.
"It won't happen again"
"It better not, this is your last chance" three pieces of paper appeared before Demon, "Clear up the targets on this list tomorrow and I mean every one of them"
"Yes Master, it shall be done"
"Go"
Demon left the dark room.
"Got in trouble again?" asked a voice beside the door. Demon turned to face the figure beside the door with his arms crossed.
"Shut up Fiend"
"Fiend is just a name the weaklings gave me… Demon"
"Just shut it"
"You know I care about you Mayu, normally anyone that see me die almost instantly"
"And I don't care about you… Suginami"
"That form you took, that's Kanade Tachibana isn't it?"
"Yeah so what, she is the only form suitable for me, unlike you, you just wanted to become human again, not caring about the form you took"
"I couldn't stand being such a disgusting form"
"It's not my problem"
"Ma-"
Demon turned away and walked down the long hallway to her room which was more of a cell. She lay on her bed and curved herself up. She touched the metallic collar around her neck and sobbed a few times. She looked at the list she was given. Three will disappear tomorrow. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore, but I want to survive, I'm sorry…
The morning arrived, the dusk hit Demon. She awoke and realised that she had once again cried herself to sleep. She shook her head of her thoughts and typed up a few new programs to take her mind off things. The moment she left her room, the mission has begun.
An hour later, she arrived at the roof top of the building across her first target's location, a casual business building. She reads her target's report to make sure she has the right person.
Taku Yamato, age: 20, occupation: CEO of the Cube Corporation, he was her target. Now would be a good time to test out my new programs.
"NEO Skill: Cross Fire" a bow and arrow with a Demonic appearance appeared in our hands.
She aimed the deadly arrow at Taku through the accurate scope attached to the bow and pulled the string back. She took a deep breath and shot the arrow through Taku's shoulder.
"Ahh!" Demon could hear the scream of Taku from her location. She closed her eyes as the Shadow consumed him. He had disappeared, deleted from the world, but his body had become a Shadow, a Level 2 Shadow as the lower beings call it, only NPCs can become Level 1s.
Demon began to pray.
I beg for your forgiveness, I wish to live but you had to pay the price, a dearly price. I truly am sorry; I pray that you live on in a better place.
She then left the area and moved on to the next target.
As she stared down upon her victim, she read his report.
Saito Satoshima, age: 22, occupation: construction worker.
"NEO Skill: Impaler" a spear materialised in her hand.
"Saito!" I need you to drop these off behind the worksite"
"Yes sir"
Saito took a package and walked behind the worksite.
"I'm sorry" a voice reached Saito.
"Who's there?"
Before he knew it, a spear impaled his body to the wall.
"Ahh!" screamed Saito in pain as he tried to pull the spear from his body, but the Shadow began to consume him. Soon he was no more but a Level 2 Shadow.
She once again prayed for her victim in sorrow but held her tears in.
"Last target" Demon looked at the info given to her, "Huh? A Mafia boss?"
Demon gritted her teeth, "I don't hold back on gangs"
Tachimura Kousuke, age: 31, occupation: Mafia boss. Demon watched his gang members guarding the gang hideout entrance.
"Watch out for Shadows, Demon cleared out a whole hideout in the Northern side of the city"
"Roger"
"NEO Skill: Bloody Ballad" two silver pistols with red trims where equipped in Demon's hands.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The shots hit each of the guards killing them instantly as she ran through the entrance.
"Get her!" the guards held assault rifles and started firing at her. Her heart rate increased, she could see the bullets clearly, before they reached her, she dodged to the side and rolled into cover.
"She dodged it? Impossible, she isn't even using Distortion. Is she toying with us?"
She dived out of cover and fired her shots at the guards.
She walked past the corpses and moved on towards the elevator.
Ding! She entered the elevator and clicked on the top floor, floor twenty-four.
On floor twenty-four, the guards readied their weapons, taking stances and aimed at the elevator door.
"There's no way she can get through this"
Ding! Bang! Bang! Bang! Continuous shots came out of the elevator and hit the guards accurately one by one.
"How does she know our tactics?" Bang! The shot hit the Captain in the shoulder; he placed his back onto the support pillar and slowly slid onto the floor. Demon approached the half dead Captain and aimed her pistol at him.
"H-How?" asked the wounded Captain while he covered his bleeding wound.
"How? I know you Mafia gangs too well"
"What?"
"You Mafia gangs took everything away from me, that's why I will not show mercy upon any of you"
"B-But wait, we only just formed"
"Too bad, you should have been something other than a Mafia gang"
Bang! Demon gave out a sigh; most of her frustration was released. She continued to the Boss's room. She placed her ear against the door and listened closely to the sounds within the room. Silence? That's strange; normally the Boss would make some kind of noise since he knows he's going to be killed. Demon placed her hand onto the handle. Chuck. Chuck. Two clips being loaded? I see, dual wielding the assault rifle eh?
Demon took a step back and kicked the door down, "NEO Skill: Bloody Ballad, Time Lag"
Demon kicked down the down and fired her shot at Tachimura. He had being paused in time. I got five seconds.
"NEO Skill: Hand Sonic version 5" the two pistols in her hands vanished and two demonic claws appeared.
Demon slashed the two assault rifles which remained in their form and walked in front of Tachimura.
"Die!" Tachimura yelled as he attempted to pull both triggers, "Damn it, why aren't they working?"
After a few more seconds, the two assault rifles shattered into pieces.
"What happened?"
Demon slowly walked towards Tachimura with her demonic claws.
"It's too complex to be explained to a moron like you, did you really think you could beat me?'
"Y-You monster!"
Slash…
Demon tightly embraced her pillow. I killed three today, four yesterday, five the day before, another fie the day before that, how many more must I kill?
"Mayu" a voice reached her mind, "I have another job for you" another piece of paper appeared in her hands.
"Yes, of course Master"
"Get rid of her, your mission starts tomorrow. Remember, if you can't eliminate her, you will be eliminated"
"I understand Master"
She read the name written: Kanade Tachibana.
