"Well the only thing I can tell you is to keep your eyes open because the CICA is relentless." Ryoa said as he opened the door to the eleventh floor.
"They aren't aware of us being with the ANM." Kyle said as he took cover behind the wall.
"So, they deal with the police and they run into gun fights with them in New York often. And here will be no different." Ryoa said as he walked through the 11th floor's corridor. "Once the police find out about you being with ANM, the CICA will start hunting both of you down. Day and Night." Ryoa said as he realized all of the rooms were empty.
"Are you saying that I made a mistake?" Kyle asked as he looked in one of the rooms.
"Well, one of you did." Ryoa said as he started walking back to the staircase. "Don't think about your mistakes, just do better. We're going to the tenth." He said as he walked past Kyle.
As Ryoa opened the door, blood's aroma filled Kyle's nose. "I think the 10th floor is empty as well." Kyle said as he followed Ryoa downstairs.
"What makes you say that?" Ryoa asked as he grabbed the 10th floor's door handle.
Kyle didn't need to answer him as he saw it once he opened the door. Every AG member on this side was laying in a pool of blood.
"Damn, who the hell took our side?" Ryoa said as he walked through the door.
"None of their blood was taken so I'm assuming it was probably one of the captains." Kyle said as he walked to one of the bodies.
"Not only do you have the strength of a bodybuilder, you're very agile and acrobatic like a gymnast, you just don't know how to do tricks. However you don't really know how to fight. You just throw whatever you have at people." Ryoa said as he watched Kyle drink blood from one of the dead members.
"You're very similar to an old friend of mine, the only thing you're missing is her sadism." Ryoa said as he walked away to check the other rooms.
"Are you trying to evaluate me or something?" Kyle said as he moved on to the next member.
"You could say that. How do you feel after receiving blood?" Ryoa asked as he walked out of the room.
"How do I feel?" Kyle asked as he stopped drinking the blood.
"Yeah, how do you feel after drinking blood?" Ryoa asked as he stopped in the middle of the hallway to hear his answer.
Kyle had to think for a minute. It was a simple question yet he never really thought about it, how it actually felt. "I feel…." Almost as if a feeling in his chest started bubbling up as he continued to answer. "How do I feel?… umm." "It's the greatest relief, like I'm taking the world in with every sip. Whenever I drink blood, it feels like energy is spreading through my entire body." Kyle explained.
"What do you gain from being with the ANM?" Ryoa asked as he started walking towards Kyle.
"I can get blood without being noticed, so I could turn into a vampire." Kyle said before he switched to another body.
"You'll be stronger once you become a vampire wouldn't you? The best thing to do with strength is to get power. I mean the ability to get whatever you want without any trouble, even a government and its citizens. Experience everything that exists. It's the only right way to live life because you'll see that everything was yours to begin with." Ryoa explained as he stepped on blood. "Example: this hotel was the base of the Ashen Gang but they have always belonged to me and tonight I'm taking it." Ryoa said as he stood by the door.
"That sounds interesting, is that how you live?" Kyle asked as he moved on to the next body.
Kyle didn't realize it but he was no longer scared of Ryoa, oddly enough he quickly grew fond of him. Trusting.
"Yes it is, I adopted that way of living after meeting this couple. They are one of the most powerful people I've seen, actually they're the only ones that are powerful. I wish to reach their level. I know I will soon." Ryoa saud as he watched the body get paler.
"Really? Are they still alive?" Kyle asked as he switched to the next.
"More than anyone." Ryoa said. "They are somewhere in the world, I traveled with them long ago along with others but we've long since split leaving me with their kid." Ryoa said in a satisfied tone as he reminisced.
At this point they were like two animals trying to understand each other. Their minds had more in common than they realized.
"That must suck but it doesn't sound like it was that bad for you." Kyle said as he felt the tone of his voice walk into his ear.
"No, it wasn't. He was the first kid I was able to raise even if they already did most of it. I enjoyed those years. They were much more fun." Ryoa said disappointingly. "Too many machines. My goal is to be powerful enough to revert this era."
"Your goal." Kyle said as he moved a body away from him. "That's what I need especially after-" before he could finish, he heard multiple footsteps rushing up the stairs from the bottom floor.
However they were coming fast so he didn't realize how much his hearing had improved over the amount of bodies he's taken as he quickly tried to warn Ryoa.
"There's-" Kyle was cut off as the door was pushed open.
"There's one right here-" Ryoa pushed the blade into the AG member's chin as soon as he walked through the door.
Behind him were 6 other members, they couldn't tell he was already dead as he was still standing. One of them walked up to him so they could check the hallway but just as he got close, the dead member's body was pushed into him. Ryoa was pushing the member into the staircase railing with the dead body then quickly threw his knife into one of the member's heads.
The body fell to the ground once they reached the railings and revealed to the members that he was already dead. Ryoa was moving fast in the staircase making it hard for them to see him as it was darker in there than the hallways.
"Don't shoot yet." AG member1 said as he moved away from the railing knowing that they'll probably hit each other.
But just as he said that, he felt something blunt quickly hit his face. He felt his body push over the railing and tried to grab on to something. He was too slow unfortunately, his head started hitting the stairs in his descent as he reached the last one.
*Thudd* Completely destroying his head once he reached the ground.
. "What the hell was that?" AG member2 said as he heard the crash from the member's descent.
Right after that sound, Ryoa rushed one of the men that were standing on the side trying to not get caught by whoever is attacking them. The man felt something weight down that barrel of his gun and immediately started letting off shots.
However he couldn't control his aim, he felt something moving his arm and it wasn't him. Whoever it was had one of the strongest grips this member has ever felt because he couldn't escape from it at all, he was like a child being led by its mother. He couldn't even stop shooting until the clip ran out.
"Are any of you okay?! I couldn't stop shooting-" He didn't hear anyone reply but that fact left his head as he felt the feeling of flying through the air as he couldn't feel the ground, though he didn't jump or anything.
At this time Ryoa had had him in the air- flipping the AG member over his shoulder and slammed him in the ground. The member lost his breath as if his lungs had jumped out of body, not knowing what just happened he thought the ceiling was now falling before some blunt slammed on head.
"They are all gone." Ryoa said as he removed his foot from the AG member's face.
"Did you learn any martial arts?" Kyle asked as he walked into the staircase and saw all of the men laying on the ground dead.
"Plenty of them. I don't really use them much though. Come on just these 6 then we'll head to the floor below." Ryoa said as he peeked over the railing to see if any more members were coming up.
"I don't hear anyone coming up at the moment but I do smell blood coming from one of the lower floors." Kyle said as he grabbed one of the bodies.
"That one is dead on the first floor." Ryoa said as he saw the vague figure of a body with a disfigured head.
