Xenon stood utterly lifeless.
He died standing.
Iguro dropped the rifle as he fell to the ground in fear.
"No... no... I didn't mean to...", Iguro stuttered in fear.
Yu and Amanai had their mouths agape, they never would have believed to witness such a gruesome scene.
"No... way...", Yu said in disbelief, he wanted to forget what he saw but he couldn't. He couldn't unsee this.
Amanai ran over to Iguro, "Iguro! What did you do?!", she asked in fear.
"I...I... I don't know...I just wanted to stop him I didn't mean to kill him...", Iguro said faltering.
That power output wasn't normal...and I thought he was an Observer?
Yu thought as he glanced over at Iguro before turning back to the scene.
So how in the world did he do this?!
It could be seen that the blast force from the shot wasn't normal. Not only did he shape a large hole in Xenon he had also put one in five other buildings behind him.
Like that of a cannon...
Then Yu realized, "You guys! We have to get out of here! before the law enforcement arrives!"
The two looked up at him in confusion but was immediately shaken upon hearing a special sound. It was the alarm blares of the notorious, DedSect.
DedSect.
In the city of Cybrmille, they held the highest rank of law enforcement, towering above all other agencies in the department. They mainly specialized in Occlusion activities.
So, to Occludes, they were a bunch that they didn't want to mess with.
As DedSect closed in, the trio disappeared from the scene.
30 minutes later.
DedSect had already begun investigation.
"Occlude Incident confirmed."
"I see...Ballista Type?"
"Emitter."
"Gigawatt Output?"
"...3,000,000."
"Hmm...Intriguing...Victim?"
"Name: Xenon Ichikawa, Lieutenant Colonel of the Dark Matter Group."
"Those bastards again huh?", the scruff voice said.
"Serves them right...", the man said while scratching his chin.
He turned away from the officer he was speaking with as he walked up to the murder scene.
"Going on and on about a 'prophesied' Hybrid, a being who is said to wield the powers of an Observer as well as the Occlusion of an Occlude, the perfect candidate for the reincarnation of him...", he said in a sarcastic tone.
"[turning to the holes in the buildings] I might actually believe them."
He turned to the rest of the group who were involved in investigation and red-taping and said,
"Get ready everyone! We're gonna go hunt a Hybrid!"
Meanwhile, the trio had headed over to Amanai's home, completely skipping school.
"YOU FOUGHT THE DARK MATTER GROUP?!"
"Yea...-Mari please...you're too loud...", Amanai said slightly irritated by her.
Iguro laid on her lap wide awake and clearly looked like he had seen a ghost. His body was shivering and shaking.
He looked pale.
"...And you're saying the reason for Iguro's condition is the fact that he killed your assailant?", Mari asked in disapproval.
Amanai looked down, "...Yes..."
Meanwhile, at the other side of the room, Yu sat deep in thought.
...that output of energy was clearly above the 50,000-gigawatt output of an average Occlude and to top that...he's an Observer! I've never heard of an Observer who could use Occlusion...
He glanced over at Xenon's Ballista which they had brought back with them.
We brought that back so that there wouldn't be any open evidence on the scene but clearly, we're bound to be found out sooner or later...this is DedSect we're talking about...the organization...where I-
"Hey!"
Mari called out to him, interrupting his thoughts.
"Who are you?", she asked as she narrowed her eyes.
Amanai spoke up, "He...he's...a friend...he helped us escape..."
"A friend huh...Look as you can clearly see she's taken, if you want a girlfriend go find one.", Mari said with a scowl.
Yu narrowed his gaze at her as she narrowed hers as well.
This bitch...
"Mari! Stop that! He's not like that! He simply helped us to escape and... strengthen our relationship...", she said as she gazed at Iguro with a slight blush.
"Oh...so he's a 'nice guy' huh...", Mari said clearly not getting the message.
The fuck?! No...
Yu got up, taking his jacket along as he walked out of the room with a frown on his face, he overheard Mari being scolded by Amanai but he couldn't care less.
After all, ...
He thought as he remembered the feminine figure in his head grinning evilly at him as she cuddled with another guy.
It'll be fine.
After all, ...
"All Girls are monsters."
He said as he walked away from the house with a dark expression present on his face...unaware of a malicious group who watched him.
A woman among them licked her lips as she pulled down her binoculars, "Monster, huh..."
