Chapter 17 - Unexpected Twist.

"Looks like everything is over now, I'm pretty sure Azusa and that newbie is alright and purged that other rakshasa."

Said Claire turning towards Zero's direction.

"You're right, Rohiz sure is doing good." Said Zero.

"Perhaps." Claire commented.

The scene now shifts to Azusa Bansho and Rohiz Cendrilas.

"Hold on a second, didn't Zero-sensei say it was 'four' of them which was spawned?" Rohiz said.

"Oh yea, i remember it now. Though, I don't sense the presence of any rakshasa." Azusa said, responding to Rohiz.

Azusa continued,

"Hold down a second.."

("I hope it's not 'that'.) Azusa thought.

The scene once again shifts back to Zero and Claire.

"Wait, Claire, I'm sensing a 'composite' rakshasa.." Zero said in a concerned tone.

"What!? You're kidding right?" Claire responded in a weird manner, different from how she usually reacts.

An explosion occurred in the midst of the city of Tokyo.

"!!!!"

All of them (Zero, Claire, Rohiz, Azusa) heard that explosion and turned towards that specific direction, which was clearly visible from their current location.

"We gotta hurry!" Zero exclaimed.

-

"Tch, it seems like both of the remaining rakshasa have merged themselves to form a composite version." Azusa said.

"Composite version?" Rohiz questioned.

"You see, rakshasa can merge with each other to become more destructive, but only if they're somehow related to each other."

Answered Azusa before continuing,

"My best guess is that they're perhaps close to each other; making this phenomenon possible."

"If that's the case, we should hurry, they merged in the middle of the city, civilians might get hurt." Rohiz stated.

Seeing that he cares about the safety of the citizens of Tokyo, Azusa smiled and said,

"Yea, I got you. Let's go now." Azusa replied, even though something was going inside his mind.

-

Rohiz and Azusa started to move towards the midst of Tokyo; jumping from house to house at ridiculous speed (nearly impossible to keep up with a naked eye), which was the same case for Claire and Zero as well.

Rohiz and Azusa covered the distance under one minute. They were present within the midst of Tokyo.

Whilst both of them were dashing towards, Rohiz' eye caught upon a civilian who was about to get hit by a car which was flying towards them, without any hesitation, Rohiz stood in front of that civilian and used his rakshasa's arm to slammed that car away; dividing it into two pieces.

Rohiz looked back at that civilian and exclaimed,

"Hurry up! Go find a safe shelter!"

That civilian followed Rohiz' command and ran away in order to seek shelter.

"What the hell.." Azusa stood in the middle of the area. He was looking around here and there. Buildings and cars were destroyed, fire was almost everywhere around the area.

It was total chaos, screams of civilians were echoing all over the place, until it went mute.

Eventually, Zero and Claire reached the spot and they were also shocked by the scenario.

"What the heck-" Said Zero, commenting on the scenario.

"Were we too late!?" Claire exclaimed.

Both looked around to check if there were any remaining civilians. Luckily, none were present. Zero and Claire were relieved.

Rohiz and Azusa quickly advanced towards both of them after they sensed their presence around.

"Thank God you both are here, the situation is pretty much under control." Azusa said.

"Yes, no civilians are present here. Now where is the composite' rakshasa?" Zero said.

"Wait guys! Watch out!" Rohiz, who was quiet for a brief moment, suddenly cried out.

Azusa, Claire, Zero and Rohiz sensed an incoming attack from the sky; heading towards them at full speed. All four of them dashed backwards a considerable metres to avoid the sudden attack, which occurred without a notification.

"What was that?" Said Claire.

Suddenly, all their eyes were slightly widened. In front of them, there was a hand of a rakshasa, slammed towards the ground. The earth beneath was completely shattered.

"!"

"!"

"!"
