Sacrificial Catastrophe Incident.
May 10, 8.26 am;
Four Reikon Responders were dispatched to the scene. When they arrived, the road was flooded with blood. They also found-
"Ryoka!" He heard someone call him. It sounded muffled.
"Ryoka!" The call sounded clearer.
"Ryoka!" This time, he's conscious once again. Miyamoto was waking him up. He shook Ryoka's body to ensure he regained full consciousness.
"What happened?" Ryoka said weakly as he tried to get up.
Miyamoto helped him to rise. "A Reikon attack, you must've met it," he said, looking around to find the Reikon.
"Have people-" He turned around. All the civilians were dead, killed, and wounds thrust in different places. Blood slowly connected so a sea of blood formed. "I- I- I'm sorry, I couldn't protect any of them," he cried.
Miyamoto patted behind him, "Hey, this isn't the time to somber. Get up and avenge these civilians, Ryoka," he smiled.
==========================================
8.32 am, all five Reikon Responders on the scene went to search for the Reikon;
"Aiko, I'm sorry for what I did yesterday," Ryoka said as they wandered around the city searching for something.
"Don't sweat it. Let's just say it's part of your training, and you did a good job with it," reassured her.
The city wasn't as silent as before. Occasionally, they'd catch a scream, and they would seek it. When they came, there would always be a body lying or someone grasping for their soul. They had no choice but to leave them be and kept trailing.
===============================================
8.52 am, Reikon Responder found the Reikon. They approached the Reikon right after...
They had found the crimson-red Reikon at a cross-intersection. It was as if a miniature with cars lined up in frozen. However, the passengers and drivers were nowhere to be found. They were all outside laying on the ground making the road dark-red.
The Reikon stared at the team of humans who supposedly came here to neutralize it. It had a similar size and some synonyms with human details. It had a pair of hands and legs. Though, it was as if thorny and hard skin.
"Finally, you're here. Now let's see if you're a toy that suffice for my satisfaction. Will you, human?" It screeched an awful howl.
"Split up, it's attacking!" Warned Ryoka as he leaped for space.
"Oh nah, you think I'm letting you go?" It pointed to Ryoka, and he was thrown to a building next to him. It smiled and started attacking the other Responders.
Aiko attempted to use her gravity authority but had no success; the Reikon remained immovable. Miyamoto also employed his authority, trying to slam the Reikon down. As expected, the Reikon simply placed his palm on the ground, shattering their efforts. It then dashed towards both of them and sent them flying off the road—more like it teleported from a human perspective.
As Ryoka opened his eyes and processed what had just happened, he noticed two other Responders he had never met before. One of them wore a grey robe over a white suit; he learned that his name was Hoka.
In Japan, an individual's potential and abilities were always publicized. Hoka was known as a Shadow Cloak, owing to his authority over shadows. Rumors suggested he could travel between shadows and conceal himself within them.
The other individual was named Hinata, renowned for his strength authority, which allowed him to lift three heavy lorries with ease.
Hinata shouted to the Reikon, "You think you'll get away messing with us? You got yourself a death wish, animal," he dashed towards the Reikon and prepared to swing his fist.
"Shadow," whispered Hoka. He transfigured himself in the shadows and jumped into one another to get close to the Reikon. With each jump, the damage dealt on the next few attacks will dramatically increase. He made himself momentum and tried to get a united hit with Hinata.
But just a flick away from being hit, the Reikon gave a malice smile. "Now, your turn's over. Now, this time I'll take the move," the Reikon snaps its finger.
All five of them were back where they were before they started taking a move to the Reikon. Then, the Reikon started giggling eerily.
Their bodies started to alter into an unsightly form. From the toe, it was crushed and minced from the inside. They screamed in agony as the pain rose to other body parts. No matter how much they shriek, the pain inflicted never goes away. They writhed themselves while flopping like fishes grasping for air.
The more they suffer, the louder the Reikon laughed. At some point, one idea emerged from the dark, 'Can you kill us already? Why won't we die yet?' Something is blocking them between the alive and the dead. An authority holds someone's soul hostage.
"Kill me. Please," begged Hinata as tears flowed.
