Chapter 2 - mistake

in elite city, the streets were filled with unusual amounts of hunters today patrolling the area 34 in district 9.

these cyborg hunter's showed no mercy to anyone or anything, only wanting to claim bounties and climb up the hunter's rank.

when the government saw some of the hunter's were going against the law, they set up a guild which all hunter's had to register in.

the name of the guild is called the hunter's guild, and this guild was the most powerful guild in elite city. as it was set up to keep the hunter's in play, paste bounties and all other thing's concerning hunter's.

a bounty was a kill permit, only registered hunter's who had reached a certain rank according to their levels could claim, and get paid for thereby increasing their ranks.

"w-why are they so much today.." a figure muttered softly.

she had the appearance of a teenage girl, as she wore a black coat around her which covered her entire head reaching down her feets.

"hey! you, get over here.." a hunter yelled, pulling a normal cyborg citizen out from the crowd by the collar.

"n-no pl-ease.. I didn't do anything." the cyborg pleaded shivering, but the hunter just scanned his face and the man's details was displayed in his head.

"saf mone.. no bounty detected." the system voice rang in the hunter's ears.

"hmm!" he frowned. "your lucky there's no bounty on your head, but those eyes do look good." the hunter smiled, mischievously at the man's robot eyes.

"n-no! please.. these are the only thing which are valuable to me."

"exactly..."

the little crowd watched in horror, as the hunter's hand forcefully pulled out the man's eyes. and he held them like a trophy in his hands, while the man squirmed in pain with no eyes at all.

'fucking hunters..'

the cloaked figure was already moving out to face the hunter who just discriminately pulled out someone's eyeballs like that, without any slight bit of remourse or disgust.

even though elite city set up a system to govern them, the truth was there wasn't any justice at all in the system only corruption, greed, and power filled their minds.

the low level civilians were left to scavage for their source of income, still paying taxes to the government.

"hey don't get involved, it'll only be trouble." the cloaked figure was stopped by a teenage boy around the age 19, he had brown hair and wore a black leather jacket with a black pants.

"fine..."

"n-no.. no! my eyes, I c-can't see.." the cyborg searched around for his eyes on his knees, but couldn't find them anywhere.

no one dared talk or interfare with the affairs of a hunter no matter what, or their act will be counted as treason to elite city for obstructing a hunter's good deed.

and the punishment for such sin was no other than death, by striping of body parts. yes this was how things were in elite city and they regretted ever having cyborgs, but there was no turning back.

"y-yo-u fucking hunters, i'll kill you! all i'll kill.."

"argh! ph-ough phough." a hole was made in the guts of the man, as the hunter's hand protruding out on the other side of the man's stomach.

"you just testified an attempt to kill a hunter, and according to sector 8 of the law a bounty has automatically been placed on your head." with a swift move, the hunter's hand turned into a small sized four teeth razor sharp cutter.

"i'll use those eyes well." the hunter whispered smiling and dug his hand into the man's neck, the razor sharp blades cutting through the neck.

blood and guts poured out as the head fell to the ground, some wires attached to it.

the crowd gulped as they watched in horror, a man killed by the people which were meant to protect them. they were living in fear and couldn't do or say anything, cause they couldn't fight the hunter's guild or they would surely be killed.

"he'll be our next target." the cloaked figure angrily said clenching her fist's.

"are you seriously going to take him out because he killed that man you don't know?"

"i-it doesn't matter if I know him. look, if you're not going to help then you should leave."

"sighs! I know you've been through a lot Atlanta, but this thing we do is a big risk and we can get killed one day, so promise me your emotions won't cloud your judgements." he held her shoulders firmly, knowing what was going through her mind.

"t-these hunter's took everything away from me, so am going to repay the favour." she said already made up her mind.

"you know you can be stubborn at times." "sighs! but we'll always do this together." he held her hands as they left the scene, carefully tailing the hunter behind.

"haha.. being a hunter sure is great." the cyborg laughed, walking down a deserted alleyway his loot statched in the side of his waist.

he was currently heading to the hunter's guild to cash in his loot, as it was a law among hunter's to cash in what they got or it will be considered treason, if they didn't do so within 48 hours.

"we should take him out now." Atlanta suggested, tired of surveying the hunter from the rooftops.

"wait. we have to wait for the right time or he'll kill us." as the hunter approached a small weird looking box on his right, he went to check it out for any valuable loots.

"idiot, he must be new." Atlanta knew this hunter was new because she didn't recognize him, and the way he just carefreely went to the box shows his lack of experience.

"wait for it..."

"wait for it.."

'boom!'

"phough! phough." the hunter was stunned a bit by the small smoke explosion, but he didn't have time to react to what came next.

"now Atlanta!" with a battle cry atlanta jumped down, taking a short spear from her back and using the momentum of the fall to visciously stab vertically, into the shoulder of the hunter.

"a-rgh! fucking scavenger..." the hunter groaned in pain as Atlanta rolled off him.

"wrong, there's two of us." Atlanta smiled, and the next moment the teenage boy also came crashing down on the hunter, and plunging the spear stuck in his arm deeper reaching his elbows.

"ahh." he stuck a knife into one of his eyes, barely avoiding the sharp blades to his body.

"you missed.."

"i-i was in panic.."

"hmm.. it's a good thing most of him are still human." they had planned to go in for a surprise kill from top, but they unfortunately missed.

luckily this hunter's body consisted mainly of human parts, only his arms so they still had a better chance of defeating him.

"I i-il enjoy cutting you piece by piece." the hunter pulled out the knife with his hands, throwing it to the floor and charging forward. since a spear was stuck in his arm, he couldn't use the left arm properly.

"you know for a new hunter, you sure are stupid." Atlanta dropped the cloak, revealing her enchanting purple eyes.

"shut up!" he swung his blade at her, and since he was a cyborg which added more buffs to him Atlanta was careful to counter his attack, and dodge to the side landing a kick to his side.

"argh!" the boy didn't waste time and also kicked the hunter's leg, knocking him off balance then Atlanta dropped a pop-up kick to his chest sending him backwards.

"sole you go high, i'll go low!" atlanta yelled.

"w-what! why do I have to take high." sole rolled his eyes picking up the knife, but atlanta had already ran towards the hunter.

"you think this is going to stop me princess."

"never call me that!" the hunter slashed the blade really fast at Atlanta's head, but she managed to raise her hand up sideways.

"fuck!" the rotating blade was cutting her flesh deep and upon instinct she moved her lower body upwards, wrapping her legs around the hunter's arm and neck in a triangle position, flipping him down head first.

"ahh!" Atlanta clutched her arm as blood spewed out fast, the inner layers of the skin was cut deep by the blade which sent stinging pains to her head.

"ar-ghh." sole stabbed the hunter's back as he tried to stand up, but the hunter then swung his arm backwards to sole's head. but the latter managed to duck down, and performed a 360 kick sending him down.

'fuck.' the knife pierced deeper into his back with more blood pouring out, but he still wasn't dead.

"Atlanta are you alright?" sole asked looking at Atlanta.

"sole focus on hi-"

"a-ahh." sole was distracted for a moment, and the hunter seized on this mistake to land a kick to his little brother while he fell in a lot of pain.

"you cheap bastard!" Atlanta knew sole would be dead if she didn't react fast.

so she desperately picked a wooden bat and swung it to his head, but the hunter sliced through the bat with the blade still heading for her.

"ahh!" she screamed in pain cause there was four slash marks in her guts, blood was spilling out from her guts and hand.

"I warned you princess." he still slashed multiple times at her body, making it a bloody mess and breaking on of her legs with a stomp.

"n-no Atlanta.." sole weakly got up, but the hunter used the blade to drill soles chest tearing his flesh.

"phough!" sole coughed up fresh blood but still wanted to fight back, he threw out a meek punch to the hunter.

instead of the hunter to dodge he punched back, as his blades cut sole's forearm apart showing his white bones.

"stay down!" he yelled looking at sole a smile appeared on his face, he was on top of him putting his blades near his throat.

he could feel the power this cutting machine generated close to his throat, and he couldn't move or make any changes that could avoid him being badly cut by the blades.

"n-no! sole.." Atlanta was badly wounded as blood gushed out more faster, she was in pain and couldn't move her body properly. she was like a meaty mess, and the more she talked blood poured out from her mouth.

"seems you two are close huh? well don't worry, you'll be more closer when I peel both of you alive."

"it's time to die boy." he raised his hands bringing it down to sole's head, but Atlanta brought out a knife from her side and hopped on the man's neck, stabbing his other eye.

"argh!" he screamed using his blades to swipe at her leg.

"ahh!" she was hit as the blades continued tearing her thighs, making a big hole.

"die!" Atlanta removed the knife from his eye socket and stabbed it into his throat, coming through the other side.

"crcck! arghh." the spinning machines were slowing down, as the hunter dropped dead with Atlanta on his back in a bloody mess.

"at-lanta.." sole barely got up as he checked up on Atlanta, luckily she still had a pulse but it was very faint and she had passed out from the huge blood loss, she suffered from the wounds.

he carried her in his arms in a princess carriage as he held her dearly, she had suffered a lot more damage than him and would die soon if he didn't get her to a hospital.

"d-don't worry atlanta, you'll be alright I promise." that was the only thing she last heard, as her eyes were closing with her consciousness fading away.
