Part 1: Hunters and The Hunted
Arc 6: Kuragari.
[I want to write a "The path walked so far" thing, but I don't know how to so just imagine a bunch of scenes while (Don't Fear) The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult plays in the background]
(Just as Kane starts to walk away he looks back at Kuragari's body and sees several black tentacle-like things crawl out of Kuragari's neck towards his head)
(Kane attempts to destroy the tentacles before they reach Kuragari's head, but nothing happens to them and they just keep moving towards his head)
(Kuragari's head like a spring snaps back to his body)
Kuragari: (He starts slowly standing up) *Under his breath* *Singing* Now I'm gonna crash this party and kill every-fucking-body...
Kane: H- how?!!
Kuragari: The millisecond I felt the kunai in the side pf my neck, I transferred my spirit over to a nearby pedestrian's body, while my Scythe used its power "The Black Ace" to self-heal my body. Hahahaha you should've thought four steps ahead, Kani. I'm not gonna give you a head-start because I want to go home and get finished with my damn-day!!! Maybe take a bath and then a nap!!! (Kane punches Kuragari's chest but he merely catches Kane's fist) But assholes keep getting in my way!!!
(Kuragari hits Kane across the face and he follows up with a kick to Kane's gut making him fall to his knees)
Kuragari: Now I'm gonna ask ONE thing, stay the hell down Kane! (He starts to walk away, but Kane throws a kunai at him, he merely turns his head to dodge it) *Sigh* Naturally... guess I'm gonna have to convince ya some more!!!
(Kuragari turns around and kicks Kane across the face, and places his foot on Kane's head forcing his face to the ground)
Kuragari: You gonna stay down now?! Or is your own self-pride gonna force you to fight me?!
Kane: Don't...
Kuragari: Oh... struck a nerve, did I?!
Kane: Don't compare me to Pride!!!
Kuragari: Pride- Pride- Pride- Pride- Pride- Pride!!!
(Irritation grows on Kane's face and without hesitation he chops off Kuragari's right leg, the one that he put on Kane's head)
Kuragari: (He loses balance and falls down) OH!!! You bastard!!!
(Kane kicks Kuragari's severed leg into a fire before he can reattach it)
Kane: (He walks over to Kuragari, tired and out of breath) What... what are you gonna do know... asshole?!
Kuragari: (He slowly stands up, using only his left leg to support his weight) Well... you know what they say... "Iyasu".
(His entire right leg heals back)
Kane: H-... how?! Why won't you die?!!!
Kuragari: Healing Magica, son!!!
Kane: (Thinking to himself) What is this bullshit!!! Hacks!!! That's hacks!!!
(Out of the dust, limping comes Able holding onto his right arm)
Able: Samuel... Kane...
Kuragari: (He looks at Able and back to Kane) Well... I'ma head out! (He turns around and two-finger salutes them as he walks away) See ya!!!
Kane: (He falls to the floor and struggles to get back up) Where the hell are you going, you bastard?!!!
Kuragari: Home! Neither of us are in a state to fight! And if you hate me; be stronger than me!!! Peace! Deuces! Goodbye! Whatever!
Kane: He's just... walking away?
(Kane and Able both collapse to the ground, as sirens begin to wail in the distance)
(A week after the events of "Hokai Day" that claimed the lives of 2257 People and caused 13 000 000 Yen in damages. The eyes of the world have been opened to Elementa users and their dangers if left unkept)
Helena Fukai, Spokesperson for the RoundTable Organization: (She is speaking on televisions all around the world and before you ask, it is translated into different languages depending on where it is showing) We... we see know that the world is not a simple as it seems anymore. That it is "different". But I ensure to you all... that the world was always like this. (Able wakes up in a hospital bed and looks at his missing right arm) The heroes. (Kuragari is lying next to the unconscious Annah waiting for her to wake, holding onto her hand, with all the hope he has left in him) The villains. All of the characters in tales and myths told throughout the years. King Arthur. Lucifer. (Dracula is looking out a window at the city as the blinding sunlight doesn't affect him at all) Vampires. Heaven, Hell. Monsters. They were and some still are, all real. Even... even Demi-humans are real! And they walk with us!!! We've shut them out for all these years!!! But we don't have to anymore!!! We as Humanity now know, that we are not alone! But we never were!!! All those "The Rake caught on camera" videos. They were real!!! We branded them as "monsters" and "cryptids", but we shouldn't!!! They were here with us since the start! They just like us... are all humans!!! However... a devil walks with us, a snake in the Garden of Eden. He seeks to bring nothing but destruction and violence to our balance! To all RoundTable agents. To all "heroes"! To all those that can! Find and kill... Samuel Kuragari! (Kuragari's face appears on TVs all across the world with a bounty of 500 000 000$ on his head) Good luck. For you all have to restore balance!
(Azrael and Michael are standing at a pier when her speech stops)
Azrael: They are wrong...
Michael: About what?
Azrael: Samuel... he is not a devil. He is the dark creeping around the corner. That is why I am here, brother. The Heaven-sent Spear, thrown to impale the heart of dark.
("Holy Diver" by Dio starts playing from the pier speakers)
(Trust me... things are only just starting, that I can reassure you all. And remember NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS)
(And yeah... I know this is a short chapter, but hey short and sweet. And the next will all be longer I promise that)
