Throwing two cans of soda to the the hybrids behind me, I narrowed my eyes in their direction before I spoke, "Denji..and Power right?"
'I'm not mistaken… my instinct is never wrong when it comes to these situations. This boy has latent ability that will prove useful in the quest to end Makima. I have to find out what it is'
"Yeah!" He shouted, his whole aura shrouding him mimicked that of an overly energetic naive dog…though that could just be Makimas influence
"That's POWER to you mortal!"the female hybrid posed in front of baring hee sharp canines to me like a rabid animal
…
…
…
"Tell me of your abilities Denji,"I ignored the girl who to put it bluntly was plain stupid and immature, dealing her would harm me more than it did her
"Well I-I…turn into a chainsaw and slice everything to bits!" He pulled out a chord from under his beige shirt, "I just pull out this and let it rip!"
"Like a beyblade?" I questioned out loud without thinking
"Beyblade?" His face displayed visible confusion ag my words so I immediately knew I had accidentally referenced something not of this world..again
"Any likes, dislikes, dreams?" I continued without missing a beat
"Uh likes? eating sandwiches and beating the shit out of devils and boobs!!. Dislikes? Devils! Dreams? Touching boobs is my dream!" He stuck his tongue awkwardly whilst announcing his information
…
'It seems I have gotten stuck with a either a rather nervous wreck of a catalyst or a extremely stupid one,' I decided after all I had a good way of reading people and his whole demeanour whilst not as bad as that of Powers spoke of his…lack of intellect and ignorance, 'I reckon I'll just have to retrieve reports and files of him from the hunter database and if that isn't enough, there's nothing more reliable than the human eye'
"Don't ignore me mortal! For POWER is within your presence!" Her ostentatious act clearly didn't suit her as she fumbled around to get in position for another pose
'God is she usually this loud. Oh Makima you've certainly outdone yourself this time…Just you wait, you're time is coming just wait and watch up above from your veiled throne of lies
A storm is brewing I feel it…the rise in Devil power over these recent months and now this boy's appearance, but you're too blinded by your conquest for control to realise it
That will be your downfall.Your flaw. Your curse, Devil'

Flashback
"Alright bow before me, human! My name is Power!" The strawberry blonde hair girl cried out as she burst into the scene
"-And Denji!" The boy called out in perfect mimicry
"Hello you two." Makima spoke out before her hypnotic gaze fell upon me, "Is something the matter? Mr Higuruma?"
'Shit. Compose yourself now,' I corrected the subtle smile that I didn't even notice creep up on my face, "No nothing. Just taken aback by the appearance of two devil man"
"Hm." She tilted her head once more as if in amusement before continuing, "Right..these shall be the two devil man hunters assigned to you to look after, I'm sure you'll do a good job~"
'…This woman what is she playing at,' My eyes began to linger over the boy who stood close to the entrance with a 'goofy' expression painted across his face, 'I don't doubt she must see it as well, she's serving to me a weapon capable of bringing her to knees, unless not even she recognises this boy's potential- a highly unlikely scenario
Is it possible that she believes that even if Denji is kept under my watch I'll be unable to do anything of significance? Arrogance is the folly of man but can the same be applied to that of a Devil? '
"Is that all that you needed to tell me?" I questioned
"Pretty much~" she replied to which I stood up and made my way to the entrance in which the two hybrids lay placed precariously
'There's no point of contemplating, I need action. I need to contact Kishibe immediately, next week at the earliest for if there's something I've learned since coming to this world… Makima is always watching. Who knows where her eyes and ears are?
My gaze locked with Denji as I moved
Closer to the door, 'What are you Denji?'
But just as soon as the paleness of my fingers wrapped around the door in a bid to open it, the ethereal sensation of her voice whispered in my ear
"Right silly me~! I forgot to mention before you go that you, Power and Denji will be accompanying Aki's group to eliminate a pesky devil in the 10th ward tommorow. I hope that's not a problem?"
Her figure more enigmatic than ever, more mysteries and questions riddled my mind with no answers to match them and at the heart of all this were those…hyponitic aureate eyes
"No. None at all Makima." I answered simply giving her last glance before leaving
'The games begun. The world is in full swing. Operation: Kill the Devil
…has now begun'
