Chapter 7 - The city of Hankai!

After Athena told them the location of the Poseidon wielder, the team was guided by one of the butlers, his name is Henry, he is the boss of all the butlers in the giant apartment, so he uses a black tie and a white suit, he has black colored eyes, wrinkled skin and seems to be in his forties, because of his pale skin, with gray hair and a mustache.

Henry: These stairs will get you to the helicopter, mister Hermes and the young sergeant are waiting for you there.

Asashi: I will have to say here too, good luck to you guys!

Yuki: Teresa, who is this "young sergeant", that Henry was talking about?

Teresa: He is talking about Kakeru, both fight the World War eleven years ago, Kakeru joined the army as a sergeant when he was fourteen years old.

Yuki: How did he join the army so young? And why is he so skinny?

Teresa: Do you know about the project "Miracle Child"?

Yuki: Just heard of it.

Teresa: He was part of this project, he suffered a lot, and he is skinny because after the war he could not eat for at least one month, he almost died two years ago, but Athena came to his aid, and now he is a valuable partner and friend. I will tell more for you later, don't tell Kakeru I am speaking of this okay?

Yuki: Understood.

As they were climbing the stairs, Yuki remembers one of the files of his uncle with the same name of that project, and he already listens to him speaking of this project on phone many years ago.

When they reach the roof, a black helicopter waits for them, with Kakeru, Hermes, and an owl. Yuki and Teresa enter the helicopter and closes the door, while Hermes is sleeping.

Teresa: Are we going to wake up Hwan?

Athena: Let him sleep, I will tell him the plan when he wakes up.

Kakeru: Why did Yuki come here? He will only slow us down.

Athena: He will be the heart of this operation, we don't know the power of Poseidon, but Hades is the second most powerful son of Chronos and Poseidon is the third, and am sure that even you will have problems against him.

Kakeru: Whatever...

Athena: Now indeed you to listen, the attack is happening at the city of Hankai, but, only the suburban part of the city is being affected because it is on the level of the sea, we have to stop the flood to get to the high part of the city. Or the government will start to do something, and it will be our end.

Yuki: The city of Hankai has more than one hundred thousand inhabitants, only the suburban part has more the half of the population. Thousands of people will die and they are not going to do anything?

Athena: They won't because that's exactly what they want to remove the poor part of the city.

Teresa: This is absurd!

Yuki: We must help the civilians!

Kakeru: Impossible, we have to end this mission without being seen, we can't have the Poseidon wielder identity to be known, we already let you be seen, a mistake that won't happen again.

Athena: Even though this means to let people die...

Yuki is concerned about this decision, even though he wants to save people, he knows that they are right, and Kakeru is far more experienced than him. Teresa looks disappointed with the boy because she thought he would be against this decision.

They arrive the island of the city, the place has a mountain in its middle with tall buildings and great avenues, while the low part of the city is formed by rusty houses and garbage, it looks like the tall part of the city is designed to don't look to the low part, pretending a city is a wonderful place but it is a horrible place to look at.

Athena: This is where you guys will jump, Yuki I will inform you when you have to open the parachute, but first I need you to put this.

Yuki puts on a black hooded cape and a black cat mask with gold details and in the part of the eyes there is a red visor, the mask has a device that attaches to him when he puts it. He notices three buttons on the right side of the mask.

Athena: The three buttons on the right side can change the mode of your visor and take your mask off. The upper button activates night vision, the middle one heat vision, and the bottom one is to removes the mask.

While Kakeru puts on an orange cape without a hoodie and an orange wolf mask.

Athena: Remember your mission is to incapacitate the Poseidon wielder and ignore everything else.

Yuki: What about Teresa and Hwan?

Athena: Aphrodite will make her illusions on Poseidon here, but she needs to be seeing him, that's when Hermes will enter the fight. All you need to do is obey Ares's orders, and when speaking with anyone, call by the name of the gods.

Yuki: I will try to help!

Athena: NOW JUMP!
