"FIRE!"

A commander instructed his troops while stretching his right arm in a forward motion.

Loud recurring sounds of gunpowder echoes across the barren plateau. Multitudes of rubble and dust flew in all directions of the warzone.

An entity was moving with quickness traversing through a maze-like forest. He had a black pony tail, a green and brown stripped bandana across his forehead to lift his front hair strands off his face. He armed himself with multitudes of weapons ranging from knives to explosives. 

As soon as he saw an encampment as big as a village ahead, he hid behind a tree while putting out some leaves and mixing it with water to make a green paste.

He drew three stripes diagonally from his ears down to the edge of his lips on both sides.

In his left pocket of his ACU pants, he grabbed a walkie talkie as it was vibrating quite vigorously.

*Click*

"No.44, notify the situation ahead."

No.44 crawls down and moves into a bush in the camps direction.

As soon as he got a good view of the camp, a cold sweat swept across his pale face.

'What is that abomination?'

No.44 quietly laments in shock, through a binoculars he grabbed from the back of his pants, he saw a monstrosity of a being.

*Click*

"There is an overgrown humanoid figure with bulging muscles chained up in the middle of a village sized camp, I request a backup"

—-

*SLAM*

A heavy and earsplitting punch broke the desk in front an infuriated Sergeant Major.

Sounds of gasps echoed throughout a military control room.

"What did No.44 notify you Sergeant Major Kang?" Sergeant Zero monotonously asked.

"They brought in the goddamn experiments just to wipe out Sector 7"

Veins bulged across Sergeant Major Kang's face.

'All my plans is going to be ruined by stupid test subjects!'

As his emotions started to die down, Sergeant Major Kang quietly walks towards a nearby chair and look up at multiple cameras displaying blood and gore across Sector 7.

"It's unfortunate, our ace will just have to deal with his situation alone."

"We will place all our military power in stopping the other three test subjects."

Sergeant Zero nods to his decision.

"Confirmative."

"Hello? Anyone there? Requesting for back-"

'Arghh… Did they really ditch me?'

'Sigh…'

As he lays his back on a tree, his body slouched forward in defeat, his head bobbed down towards ground where darkness was all he could see.

No.44 stands up slowly with the support of the tree behind him.

He tied his bootlaces and straightened his bandana.

He then grabbed a flashbang.

*Exhale*

*Inhale*

'It's time.'

No.44 darts towards the outer perimeter of the camp. As he was reaching towards the front entrance of the camp guarded by two standby guards. He throws a flashbang over the fence just above his height towards the centre.

*BANG*

An ear ringing bang followed up with a blinding light created a massive disturbance within the camp.

When the standby guards heard such noise, they started to head towards the camp.

A looming shadow hid behind the two.

*Crack*

*Crack*

'Two down.'

He swiftly grabbed the AK-47 from the ground and took the magazine from the other and placed it within the back pocket.

He hid in front of the entrance's door and did a quick surveillance.

'There are 20 of them.'

'Chained man is still asleep, while the others are grabbing their guns.'

'Strange, why is that creature asleep.'

No.44 rushes in and started shooting at the heads of everybody within his sights.

Both his eyes started to shine a bright yellow light.

Gun shots flew past his figure as if he was reading when and where the bullets will be coming and moving towards.

He slides towards a stack of sandbags and grabbed a frag grenade from his vest.

He throws it behind and killed the rest of the attackers just as he analysed with his mysterious eyes.

But just as he was taking a breather.

*BOOM*

A punch delivered at the spot where he was just at just a second ago.

'Phew…'

'What in the world is that thing, this guys genetical status is off the charts.'

His bright yellow eyes couldn't help but quiver at the numbers the being in front of him was giving out.

As he had more time to look at the humanoid monstrosity, he realised that its body was deformed and patched up.

'A chimera… a pincer for a left hand, a ginormous right hand, two red eyes that is rid of any self awareness.'

As he was analysing the giant chimera, it began its barrage of assaults.

Sounds of reverberating crater producing sounds made shockwaves across the encampment. Bodies squashed and flew, explosives activated, and a fight that looks to be quite one-sided.

'He's fast! My body can barely keep up with such blows, even the force that flew past me is disorientating my movement and thoughts.'

No.44 was luring the monstrosity into the forest where he layed his groundwork of traps.

—-

'Pit holes with explosives, giant logs with saws, tripwires, minefields.'

'They don't even work at all!'

No.44's situation was dire, he had nothing left at his disposal except for a last resort that would end with his life.

As he was running away from the inhuman, he came across a road with multiple pedestrians.

'Wait, how long was I running away for?'

'I'm already at the borders of Sector 8?!'

'I can't let him rampage here at all cost!'

—-

A group of students walked down the same sidewalk they had been walking for years.

But to their dismay, they saw green and dark red liquid scattered across the footpath and road.

On their left, they saw trees being pushed away as if a monster was traversing through it.

A young school girl saw something on the ground as if she found some sort of evidence.

A bloodied green and brown stripped banadana was on the palm of her hand.

"Oni-chan?"
