Chapter 17 - Monsters (2)

With his hunting rifle on his shoulder, Jin began to walk towards the bustling streets of the Tenth District, the filth was present just like always.

But today, Jin could not care, it's going to get way more filthy.

"If the intelligence I gathered is true, then there is currently a terrorist group fighting against some Genesis forces, let's go and assist them." Instructed thirteen from the earpiece.

Jin got a ping from his holographic watch, the signal showing up on his holographic watch as he began to pick up the pace, running even faster than before with a clear target in mind.

Just like always, Jin wore a mask on his face with special contracts, but this was a different mask that he was wearing, not even close to the normal fake skin mask on his face.

The mask on Jin's face was an eerie mixture of the majestic stag and the sinister goat.

Its features were twisted, with elongated antlers branching out like gnarled branches, while the eyes gleamed with an otherworldly light, glowing like red fiery orbs of a predator.

His coat wasn't the same white one, he wore a brown coat that blended well together with the mask on his face, making Jin look like a beast from the woods.

Walking through the streets he made his way to the site where the fight had been going on, opening his holographic watch, he did not need even need to even use is as he began to hear slight sounds thanks to his better then human hearing.

They were the slight crackling sound of guns, and not just one or two, more than three dozen at the same time, it was a war out here on the streets.

Jin began to rush towards the sight with great speed.

"What do you think about this group?" Asked Jin from Thirteen who had been silent for a while, but Jin could hear him type on his keyboard.

"We shouldn't really trust them, but we can play together with them for a while, they really hate Genesis, something we can use." Instructed Thirteen.

"Understood." Confirmed Jin before speeding up.

He could hear the crackling gun sounds even closer now, and finally see them as well, what he saw was nothing sort of a bloody warzone.

The place where they fought was a crossroads, but it was closed off with heavy vehicles from both sides.

Both sides already altered the streets to be a better zone for them, there were covers from both sides, but they were not just fighting from the streets, they were fighting on the rooftops as well.

Both sides utilized the rooftops as a form of cover and high ground to rain down bullets on the other.

As Jin observed the battlefield, he could see that there were almost a hundred of them, all shooting at each other leaving bloody chunks across the streets, the whole city block was engulfed in chaos.

"This is disgusting." Said Jin out loud as he stared at the mutilated corpses littered across the streets, their numbers only growing.

The Terrorist group that was fighting against Genesis seemed to be a powerful group, but they were still on the losing side, even with their numbers being on the superior side.

"What do you think about them Jin?" Asked THirteen from the earpiece, he was observing them through cameras.

"They are on the weaker side, those weapons, are not that good quality, just simple weapons using normal ammo while Genesis has Cypher with them… Almost six in number, this is a slaughterhouse." Described Jin his observing as he gazed at the slaughter before him.

"Do you think that you can handle it?" Asked Thirteen, only to make a smile appear on Jin's lips, hidden under the monster like stag mask.

"Easily." Said Jin, his hunting rifle already in his firm grasp, aimed directly at the Genesis side by the other streets.

But before he could start raining down bullets on the Genesis, something or more accurately, someone caught his eyes.

A red haired woman on the side of the Terrorist organization.

She was blindly charging foreward out of the covers, not caring about the bullets flying towards her.

While blindly charging, she began to throw grenades at the enemies, making them jump out of their covers.

An opening that the Terrorist side did not let waste as they opened heavy fire on the now opened up Genesis soldiers who were all clad in strange white skin like armor.

As the shots connected to their bodies, they did not die like how Jin expected, they were still living even after being shot.

"Genesis skin shell… I heard of this." Said THirteen as he looked at the Genesis soldiers who survived normally fatal shots.

Continuing her rush, the red haired woman was raining bullets from her assault rifle while not caring a single bit about her own safety.

While the normal soldiers on Genesis's side were still on the ground and trying to get up and recover, as their armor was strong, they still suffered the pain from being shot, but the other six Cyphers were nowhere close to being done.

They began to rise from behind the covers, shots flying towards them, but none of these Cyphers who hid their face behind pristine white mask's shuddered.

They did not even have the time as the bullets rained down on them, all reaching their targets, piercing the bodies of the figures, yet they did not have a reaction other then stare at the terrorists, something that made them all cease fire in terror.

"What are you all doing, don't falter, shoot the bastards!" Shouted the red haired woman as she herself continued to shoot rapidly at a simple Genesis soldier that was wearing white skin armor.

"S… top…" Begged the soldier as the shots sent him back to the ground while whinching from the pain of the bullets that could not kill him, but they caused him unimaginable pain.

The red haired woman grabbed the soldier through the neck and held him down to the ground, putting his assault riffle straight at the back of the soldier.

Without saying another word, she held down the trigger, the automatic assault riffle that she held began to fire into his back rapidly, piercing the hard skin armor without fail.

With one last painful scream, the Genesis soldier died a pitiful death on the ground, together with a lot of people.

The red haired woman could barely rise higher from the ground as a sudden explosion next to her sent her rolling on the ground.

"What are you doing, didn't you want to fire already?" Asked Thirteen from Jin who did nothing just stare at the bloody battlefield, but his eyes were mostly fixated on the red haired woman.

"Yes, yes… I will be going to help them, but I'm somewhat curious." Said jin, his hunting rifle in his hand but he did not have a plan to pull the trigger.

"About what, that woman?" 

"Yes." Answered Jin with a simple word while staring at the fight before them.

'But I'm more interested in those Cyphers.' Thought Jin to himself while staring at the battlefield.
