"Fuck!"
Cursing aloud, Mark was furious; he had worked tirelessly to infiltrate Undertaker, gather information on the Reaper, and now, with a team in place, the targets were nowhere to be found.
"Sir, they escaped."
Confirming his thoughts, one of his soldiers reported.
"Damn it! Find them; our necks depend on those women."
"Yes, sir!"
Assisting in panic, the soldier executed his orders. However, Mark only gritted his teeth. With the Reaper busy and Undertaker cornered, this was the perfect opportunity to catch those women. Unfortunately, they had escaped, and many of his soldiers had died due to that cursed song in the sky. Mark himself had been affected, with small crystals appearing on his neck.
"Where are the noble men?
I already said goodbye
Where do I find a battle Hercules in you?
Knights are no longer riding their steeds
As I sleep, my dreams bring him, I just want to see him..."
However, as he pondered all this, another song played, replacing the previous one. Unlike the first, this song was warm and relaxing.
Mark closed his eyes, and simultaneously, the crystals on his neck disappeared.
"Reaper, you will be in our hands very soon." With a muttered remark, a smile formed on Mark's face.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that, Mr. Mark."
"Who?!"
Opening his eyes abruptly, Mark grabbed his pistol, ready to pull the trigger. However, his body froze in shock upon seeing the person who had spoken.
After all, that person was...
"Hello, I see you're doing well, Mr. Mark."
"Rea...Reaper... How is this...?"
Indeed, the person who spoke was Yuki, waving in greeting with a mocking smile on his face.
"How am I here? Well, that's a very interesting question, but I've always been with you, Mr. Mark."
Pointing to the shadow of his body, Yuki brought a hand to his lips, smiling.
Yuki wasn't lying; he had been with him all this time. After all, he had left a clone to stay in Mark's shadow, waiting for this moment.
Mark, of course, didn't understand. He didn't know what the Reaper was doing in this place; he was supposed to be facing GHQ soldiers outside.
Mark didn't know any of the Reaper's powers, only that he could extract voids and had the strange ability to create ice. While this might be part of a void, the fact that Yuki appeared in this place was enough for Mark to understand that all was lost. Moreover, the area was now very silent, with no sign of his team. Even the soldier who had just spoken seemed to have disappeared. Without hesitation, he ran; the Reaper was too dangerous.
"Well, you can't run, Mr. Mark. The party is just beginning."
Not letting Mark escape, several white arms emerged from the shadows, capturing Mark, who tried to resist.
"Don't worry, Mr. Mark; I'm very good at entertaining guests."
"Ahhhh!"
Finishing these words, one of Mark's arms was torn from his body, eliciting a heart-wrenching scream. Licking his lips in pleasure, Yuki's eyes gleamed; Mark's screams were a beautiful melody. After all, this bastard had to pay for trying to use his dear girlfriends.
"Hihihi, well, very well... Shall we continue?"
"Ahhhh!"
*Boom* *Boom* *Creak*
Today was a day destined to be recorded in Japan's history. In Tokyo City, a huge blue monster was summoned, destroying several buildings and hundreds of GHQ soldiers.
"At midnight in my fantasies, I saw
something unattainable that
tries to reach me
Against the storm (UHH)
or fighting in the heat (UHH)
its super walk (UHH)
but will be my winner
(UHHHH) (AHHHHHHHHHHH) x4"
With a song playing, the huge crystal lion continued to destroy everything in its path, heading towards the GHQ headquarters.
*Boom* *Boom*
"Destroy that monster!"
"It's useless; our attacks don't even scratch it!"
*Roar!
Several tracking missiles and plasma cannons were fired, but this did not stop the giant.
With a loud roar, the giant charged against the GHQ army.
*Boom!*, Bam
*Creak, Boom!
Biting, crushing, with its incredible size, the Endlaves were only the size of its legs, while the soldiers were like ants.
However, GHQ would not stand idly by. Several helicopters flew at high speed; the monster was unstoppable on land, but that doesn't mean it's invincible by air.
So without hesitation, they fired their guided missiles.
*Boom!
With no chance to dodge, the giant received several direct hits, but this was not over because in the sea, several OAU warships also launched their respective missiles.
This was no longer a conflict between humans; this was about the survival of this city. This monster had to be destroyed, turning Tokyo into a war zone.
*Boom, Boom
*Roar!
The smoke covered the giant, several projectiles hit like a fireworks display, so the giant roared in response.
As the smoke dispersed, a giant, very injured figure appeared in front of the soldiers. With several body parts remaining, its huge exoskeleton had been destroyed, revealing its deep blue interior.
"We can do it!"
"The target is injured!.. I repeat: The target is injured."
"Keep firing!"
GHQ and OAU rejoiced when they saw that their heavy weapons could stand against the giant. So the morale of their soldiers rose.
However...
"Where the sky and sea are in union (UHH)x2
or where the sun rises (UHH)x2
somewhere, someone is watching me from there
(UHH)x2
Through a great storm
the battle will triumph
like fire in my blood, I feel it coming
(I feel it coming, I feel it coming
I feel it coming, I feel it comiing)
(hero)"
Inori's song continued to play.
