Zero rolled back up into a ball as he tried to stall for time. 'I chose me over you... I'm sorry.' Zero slowly stood up from his spot after another shot went off. "What is going on out there! Can't they come save my father!" Zero made his way through the people, making sure not to hit any of them. Once he was at the window, he peeked through it, only to find the Ogre was now no longer Infront of the building. Zero could see what he could only describe as a path of destruction leading away from the building. 'It must have chased them.' Zero turned around with a confused look on his face. "Who do they think they are to be firing there guns in a city!"
Zero took a step forward, his fists balled. As Zero took a second step, he dropped his left middle and ring finger before willing a whip to appear. Without even giving it the full time to materialize, Zero threw his left hand out. The whip materializing in an instant before lashing forwards and slicing the man that had responded to him in half. Zero willed the whip to slam into the women he had been hearing cry. The whip's trajectory altered mid air and the end slammed into the women's turned back before running the rest of it across her exposed back in a matter of a second.
Zero was surprised when the women's clothes were sliced and the a deep cut appeared, showing a severed spinal cord. Zero didn't pay attention to the souls that came bursting out of the mans body, as well as the ones that came out of the women's as he took a step back toward the window. He willed the whip to disappear and dropped his pinky, preparing to have to fight a mob of people.
To Zero's surprise once more, the Mob didn't move, but rather they all went silent. Zero watched as each of the people's bodies started slightly convulsing before a soul floated out of them and there human like appearance turned to that of a Goblins. Zero quickly found that each Goblin had bullet holes in there bodies. Without pausing to question it, Zero quickly grabbed each of the souls, taking notice of the fact that the souls all all came together to form a dark grey shadow.
Zero made contact with the singular shadow, and was about to read how many there were when he suddenly heard someone running towards him from the entrance. 'The old man!' Zero quickly got on the ground and used a knife he found on the human mans body to cut a deep gash on his chest. Zero was extreme pain, however he needed a plan since he was up against a gun. Zero fired a beam from his left pinky at the glass window before laying against the wall next to the window.
In the next moment, the older man came running in with his gun raised. The mans eyes instantly went to the man cut in half, before they went to the window and then Zero. Zero was looking through half slitted eyes, as if he was about to pass out. Zero watched as the man looked down at his chest, his gun pointed Zero before he lowered it and ran to him. "Hey, Kid! What happen here?" Zero coughed up blood, which he had scooped up from his chest wound and put into his mouth for effect.
"I-It was a m-monster." Zero closed his eyes and started to droop his head, but hands suddenly grabbed onto his jaw and shoot his head slightly. "What else happened!" Zero opened his eyes wide in a out of it way. Zero raised his left hand, resting it on his shoulder. "Y-You ha-have to r-run...Grab the o-other cops and g-g-..." Zero lifted his left hand, making it so his pointer finger was aiming at his temple before willing the beam to fire.
Zero sat up and spit the chunks of the officers head out of his mouth before talking to the window as he grabbed the mans five souls.
'Window, heal the wound on my chest. I approve the cost.'
-Notice-
<9> souls will be used to heal the Host's wounds completely.
Zero felt the 9 souls leave his body as he asked the window another question. 'Window, how many souls do I have?'
-Notice-
The Host currently has <68> souls. If the Host wishes to view there soul count, they simply have to will the counter to show and it will appear in the left side of there vision.
Zero willed the window away and did as it said, willing the number to appear. To Zero's surprise, a 3d version of the number 68 appeared on the top right of his vision. The number floated there for a moment before fading and vanishing. 'Interesting.' As the souls continued to work on his chest, he quickly stripped the old man of his gear. The first thing he found was a vest, which Zero set off to the side. The next thing Zero took was the gun. After a moment of looking at it, he found the button to eject the magazine, to which he pressed it.
Zero counted the bullets he could see in the magazine, finding 15 bullets in it. Zero placed the magazine back into the pistol and quickly stripped the man of his equipment. All together, Zero found a thigh holster for the gun, a bullet proof vest, and a tactical belt, which had a taser, two pares of hand cuffs, there keys, a baton which was strapped to the left side of the belt, and three pouches. the first two each held an extra magazine of 15 bullets while the last held the skeleton key.
Zero decided to put all the equipment on, and holstered the pistol. He then flexed his left hand, finding the pinky and pointer were broken while the ring finger and middle were able to move only slightly. 'The arm's Channels haven't fried yet, so I shouldn't use the fingers any more. That only leaves my right, which has the gun on that side.' Zero heard another couple gun shots sound off from outside as he stood from his position and started searching around the entire floor. 'If they have an entire floor dedicated to Guards, then I'm guessing they have a large stash of weapons as well.'
