Sleeping soundly in his cardboard box-house, beneath the western Misaki Bridge, Psyren had no idea what was about to happen. He twisted and turned in his sleep, moaning as the nightmare took greater hold of him. It was unclear what he was dreaming about, but it triggered something. The fear and stress from whatever he was witnessing in the land of dreams, made his Focus react for the first time ever. Without his knowledge, his sleeping state had started emitting reiryoku as a result of the stressful situation.

It wasnt long until someone took notice..

Just as he awoke, sitting up straight with a wild expression on his face, something appear on top of the bridge. As he quickly realized it was just a dream, he became aware of the presence he felt close by. With a crash, a medium-sized Hollow came smashing through the bridge landing just a few meters ahead of Psy.

He was grippen by fear, this monstrosity was like nothing he had ever seen before. Grabbing his only posessesion, he takes the actionfigure received from his father and ran.

"Help! Someone, please!!" He screamed. The citizens he passed looked at him strangely, as they could not see the hollow chasing him. He rounded a city-block and came across a park of sorts (where karin and yuzu first fight a hollow). With the hollow right behind him, he dove into the playground and hid inside a small cabin made for children to play house in.

There he waited, fearing for his life while remaining utterly silent in hopes that the hollow would pass without noticing him. Ofcourse, it wasnt that simple. The hollow sensed his reiryoku going apeshit becouse of the stress and fear, and raised its hand to smash the little cabin. Psyren looked out and was dreaded by the sight. Panic gripped him, and he froze, unable to move or even scream as the hollow began lowering its arm towards the cabin. His focus once again began reacting, but he did not notice, his life would be over in just a second, he thought...

“I should have known...go to the festival and have fun...grrr I will kill him!”

The rather annoyed voice and growl came from the girl who was now standing on the edge of the park with her right arm down by her side, her cloak blowing wildly around her from the pressure of the wind in the area along with the speed that she had arrived, the speed had caused some of the loose dirt to kick up. Her face had a clearly annoyed expression as she glared over towards the hollow the lack of fear coming from the girl clearly showed she was used to dealing with such things, if anything she was angry with the hollow for causing such a mess and at the same time she was angry at the boy that was hiding and cowering in fear.

“oi kid...get up and fight if you want to live!”

Her words being directed towards the boy as two beam like bullets passed through the arm of the hollow causing an explosion ripping the arm clean off its body, the girl holding a pistol in her extended right hand. For a few seconds everything became calm until the deafening sound of the hollow could be heard throughout the area, windows of houses or nearby cars shattering under the tone of the hollow that was now clearly in pain with its anger about to be directed down towards the boy. Following the howl of the hollow was the sudden change in the pressure from the wind both from the explosions of blue energy that the girl had used to rip the arm off not that anything was left of the arm now and the sickening howl of the hollow.

“Seriously Rei...all you have done is made it angry.”

The man that stood behind Rei ran his hand through his silver hair while observing the situation he seemed to be the complete opposite of Rei in that he was calm and simply calculating the situation and the possible outcomes of the situation. He as well as Rei had observed the boy for a few moments now and clearly he was not a normal human and yet he was not a Quincy which left fullbring, and like all fullbringers the boy would have a focus for his powers and finding the focus for his powers would be the key to him awakening.

“You can feel it can’t you? You can feel something deep inside you...something special that separates you from the rest of the people here. Now focus and gather all the strength of that feeling deep inside you and let it explode...do that and awaken to the real world.”

The man’s tone was calm and yet held a confident tone giving the boy the feeling that whoever this man was he believed in him and already knew that he would be safe, a unique feeling of total calmness could be felt from the man as it transferred over to the boy allowing him a few valuable seconds to clear his mind and focus on the task before him.

As the arm of the Hollow was taken clean off its shouldersocket, Psy heard the words spoken to him as if it was the call of salvation itself. Afraid as he was, he knew the words were true, becouse he could already feel the power building up within. He had known his whole life that he was a fullbringer, but had never found or even identified his own focus.

Now however, there was no doubt. Raising his hand, he looks longingly at the actionfigure in his hand. He missed his father dearly, more then he could ever hope to describe despite the vast expanse of his vocabulary, but he had left him the one thing Psy needed.

Clutching the Megaman in his hand, he turns towards the hollow with a determined look.
"I dont know who you are, strangers.." He said calmly, and the actionfigure exploded in a cascade of light and energy as he did. Swirling around him at great speed, the energy gathered around his right hand and lower arm, and within a second had replaced it with a blue cannon of sorts.
"...but thank you" he finished, his fullbring granting him newfound courage, as he now genuinly believed he could defend himself. But there was only one way to be sure..

Gathering all the courage he had, he directs the cannon at the hollow. A high-pitched sound came off of the cannon as it charged energy within the barrel. Just as the hollow spurred into ation, he releases the shot.
"Eat this!" he shouts ferociously, letting the energies rip through the barrel and off towards the hollow. It was fast, dangerously fast, and in the blink of an eye a fist-sized hole had been punched straight through the hollows hand and hit him square on the mask. Staggering backwards with a shriek, the mask disintegrates from the impact and the hollow vanished before even hitting the ground.

Shortly after, the cannon vanishes, leaving the actionfigure dropping to the ground. It was quickly followed by Psy, who lost conciousness and hit the ground flat next his focus. The attack he had unleashed was clearly years away from being mastered, and it had nearly killed him to use that much reiryoku in one go. As his heartbeats turned faint, he barely clung unto life from within something similiar to a deep comatose.

His fate now rested in the hands of his saviours. Would they use this chance to take him out? Or was this the start of a powerful alliance..? He would not know the answer until he regained conciousness, and the answer would surprise him more then he realized..

(X-buster, fullbring stage 1, Mastered! :D
Ive named the attack "Bustershot" btw, but i didnt mention it since its his first time using it, he wont master it for a loooong time ^^)

“Did he...die...?”

Rei was hesitant as she spoke across to her brother who had bent down on one knee just before the boy checking his pulse they both could still sense some life in the boy but it was the amount you would usually associate with somebody that was about to pass away. The gun that then girl was holding had now once again disappeared with the boy having dealt with the hollow, the way he had dealt with the hollow had surprised her it was some sort of blast of concentrated energy similar to what a quincy would use yet the boy was a fullbring user without a doubt. Her left foot had begun to kick against the floor as she waited for her brother to speak who was taking his sweet time in checking over the boy all the while he remained silent leaving Rei to wonder if the boy was dying or if he was just exhausted and needed some time to rest.

“I don’t think he will die...but we should let him rest for now.”

He spoke while running his hand over the action figure that the boy had held when using his fullbring before picking it up and placing it inside his inside jacket pocket, after he placed the action figure away he gently picked the boy off the floor and into his arms, the way the boy was being held by the man was the same way that a lover would carry somebody this causing Rei to have a slight giggle although she tried to hide it by turning away slightly. The giggle by Rei was followed by a sigh from her brother, she never failed to surprise him by how pure and innocent she was although at times that was quite a problem since he would have to bail her out on a frequent basis but it was that innocent that he loved so much it reminded him that the world wasn’t as forgone as one would think.

“Ready to head home?”

He spoke as he smiled while looking over to Rei and at the same time found himself blinking from the flash of a camera that Rei was holding in her hands, of course she wouldn’t miss the chance to take such a picture of him. Laughing she nodded and with a little push off the floor that seemed rather effortless she had disappeared from the spot landing on top of several buildings with her brother following just behind her until they stopped on top of a large skyscraper of a building it stood out amongst anything else in the city with the giant name on the front of the building being “Phantom Corp” apart from the sheer size of the building its unique features and style made it stand out more than all of the others. The giant skyscraper curving instead of just being one straight building it was also made from a mixture of glass and steel or some sort of metal the glass allowed the people inside to view the outside of the world but the people on the outside would just see reflections of themselves, as you looked higher up the outside of the building one would notice that the glass changed slightly as it sparkled like diamonds and about halfway up the first skyscraper there was a sealed bridge connecting it to an identical skyscraper that stood proudly beside it. Most of the two buildings remained hidden by the night however the large fountain in front of them still stood out in the moonlight with the water being fired high up into the sky before falling back down into the fountain it was a constant process with the fountain being shaped in the image on a giant angel shielding two children.

The inside the building was beyond anything one could comprehend it was the state of the art or even beyond what many people considered state of the art with machines and robots roaming the halls as people in cloaks worked away in rooms sealed off from each other while others remained linked together. It wasn’t long before Tia showed up to take a look at the boy that Dante was carrying as she buzzed about fading from in front of him only to reappear behind him to get a better look at the boy. The lift finally opened after taking several long minutes the lift was chrome colored with gold decorations running along the edges, the decorations were in the form of ancient writing not that anybody could understand any of it apart from the words that were engraved into the centre of the door with them being “Phantom Corp” under the name of the family and company were smaller words “working together for a brighter future.” With the doors closing behind them the lift had begun to accelerate towards the top floor with them having entered a side roof of the skyscraper they had only entered the middle section which housed a lot of the work force.

“Is he staying with us now?”

Rei smiled while asking the question as she used the chrome plated walls inside the lift to fix her hair and clothes, despite the amount of fights she always got into she was always told to make sure her appearance was beautiful and perfect although she hated doing it at first it was something she had grown used to. As she finished the voice of Tia could be heard although she was an AI the voice sounded human like as she let them both know that they were now on the top floor while also welcoming them both home like a mother would do to her children. Dante walked out first with the boy in his hands as he began to walk along the corridor with Rei following just behind him with her hands in a relaxed manner down by her side as she looked out the windows at the city, she could see everything apart from people that were so small they simply looked like small dots or ants.

“He could stay with us, that is his own choice to make though.”

Dante spoke as the door to one of the rooms opened up by itself as he walked through and into the room itself, it was a giant room with a large bed in the centre of the room. The bed itself floating in mid air about 1 to 2 feet off the floor the sheets being made from the most expensive fabric the world has to offer. Laying the boy down Dante took a look around the room it was far more advanced with technology than it should be with holograms floating around displaying anything that the person wanted from news that updated by the second to games or history of any topic you desired if you knew what you wanted then you could access it. Apart from the holograms the room was softly illuminated by the warm lights that spread through the room from the ceilings to the walls it meant that each part of the room was lit up exactly the same as any other part, the windows changed shade to block the light out or to let it in depending on the persons wishes with the decorations on the walls changing to whatever you wanted at the time. The room was constantly adapting to suit your needs and desires whatever you wanted the room would give you or to be more precise Tia the AI that controlled everything would give you, with the door closing behind them both they left the boy that was now being monitored as he slept to regain his strength.

It would be a full two days before Psyren came crawling out of the coma. As he opened his eyes and sat up, his muscles felt weak and his joints stiff from not having moved at all in 48 hours. Looking around, he realized that he could not remember how he had gotten there or anything the past two days. As he squinted his eyes, waiting for them to adjust to the bright light, the room automaticly dimmed the lights to a much more comfortable level. As he stepped out of the bed, his foot hit empty air and he fell flat on his face before realizing the bed was actually flying. He suddenly became aware of just how technologically advanced this place was, and it reminded him abit of his fathers lab. Everywhere he saw, there were systems and screens reacting to his thoughts. One of the screens pulled up footage from a park-security camera. As Psyren stepped closer, he saw himself blow a hole in the hollows face, and suddenly remember how he ended up there.

"Wh....what is this place? Helloo!?" he shouted gently, looking around trying to find something akin to a phone or intercom-terminal.

It wasn’t long after Psyren shouted that Tia appeared into the room she stood just in front of the bed, despite being a hologram she looked remarkably human from her dark flowing hair that ran the full length of her back to her soft gentle skin and features that made her look like she was a model of perfect stunning beauty. As she appeared she took a moment to take in everything that had happened in the room as well as the vital signs of Psyren not that he would notice anything different all the while the screens in the room were changing some showing different angles of how he defeated the hollows each angle being from a different camera that had picked up the footage.

“Looks like you’re healthy again...you had us slightly worried being in a coma for two days.”

Tia remarked as she looked over at some of the screens that were replaying the events of how Psyren defeated the hollow before waving her hand in the direction causing some of the screens to fly across the other side of the room almost as if somebody pushed them away. The tone in her voice was soft and gentle it something that you wouldn’t usually associate with an artificial intelligence not that there was many running about in the world. Turning back towards Psyren she had a warm and gentle smile making her seem even more human like as she displayed genuine emotions, if Psyren wasn’t so confused by where he was he would have perhaps realised that he no longer had his action figure on him.

“Hmm...I guess it’s best to start with where you are. Currently you are in the main headquarters of the Phantom Corporation...or to be more precise this is their home.”

While Tia was speaking a compartment had begun to rise from the ground beside the bed it was a sealed box on top of s stand that was being supported by a thin beam of chrome metal, the box itself that sat on top of the stand was finally hand crafted and looked fairly old with various golden plated decorations running around the outsides, it was clearly an expensive looking box yet it seemed out of place in a room filled with futuristic devices. Tia motioned her hand towards the box so that Psyren knew it was there in case he had missed it, eventually it stopped at about the height of Psyrens waist allowing him to pick it up easily if he wanted to. At the same time machines had begun to appear from within the walls of the room as they started to make the bed that Psyren had slept in with them changing the sheets with new ones and within seconds of appearing the room was in perfect condition again, it was an automatic system in that the machines cleaned up any mess without having to be told.

“Dante says that inside the box is something that means a great deal to you...he should be here shortly but until then you can ask me anything and I will try my best to answer.”

"TWO DAYS!?" He blurted, surprised at how much time had passed. To him, it felt like he had shot the hollow mere minutes ago. He took note of how human the AI seemed, and cocked his head sideways in question when she informed him of where they were. Most of the shock passed quickly, allowing him to adapt to his new situation more easily then others.

As the machinery sprung to life to fix up the bed, Psy took note of the amazing level of independence programmed into the automation. It clearly surpassed the technology he had seen at his fathers lab, and found himself gaining alittle initial respect for Phantom corp due to that. As the box appeared, and the AI informed him of dantes imminent arrival, Psy reached out and opened the box without much hesitation. His face lit up like a sun, and he took the figure out of the box. He suddenly came to the conclusion that carrying that around was very impractical, and started thinking about better solutions, one being seweing the figure to his jacket-sleeve. He gave the problemsolving a rest, and turned his attention to the AI.

"Tell me about Phantom Corp please. What do they want with me?" he said carefully, as if afraid to anger the AI somehow.

Tia laughed slightly as he blurted out two days it was funny and amusing to her how much he reacted to discovering he had been out for so long the genuine shock on his face was that of an innocent boy and yet he hadn’t asked about the hollow or anything hinting that he had already known about them perhaps, however the way he ran through the crowd indicated he didn’t know about them or at least didn’t know everything about them. Again the way she laughed was not that of an AI but of a human and it was clear she had emotions but if they were real or if they were programmed into her remained a mystery.

“Phantom Corp is one of the largest organisations in the world although this only happened recently in the last few decades.”

While speaking Tia raised her hand with the screens forming beside her and around her each one lighting up as the room dimmed slightly more so that the lights from the screens didn’t cause the room to become too bright in fact with the lights dimming down it kept the light in the room the same as it was before, everything in the room seemed to be automatic as if it was alive itself and linked to your thoughts. As the screens appeared they began to display various information on Phantom Corp some of it being on the history and what it currently does for the world and the people of the world. The screens that were constantly changing froze and slowed down enough so that Psyren could read and take in all the information and once he was done with one screen another soon appeared with more information on Phantom Corp and it was everything that one would want to know if they were a normal human.

“As you can see Phantom Corp is an organisation that is at the front of most things in the world making it an extremely large and powerful force in the world only matched by a very few...”

As Tia stopped speaking it was as though she had one company in mind that was one if not the only threat to Phantom Corp, this notion was soon dismissed as the screens changed slightly to show the hidden side of Phantom Corp and perhaps one that would interest Psyren more. It was the side of the Corp that dealt with people that had unique abilities or in other words humans with fullbring abilities as well as other humans and there was even information on hollows and shinigami, the information displayed was far more than what a person could read in one day it was an extensive library of almost everything and it was all there to be read.

“As you have probably gathered the information on the screens now is about the different races and everything we know about them...you may read it at your own leisure...”

Tia had stopped speaking as the door to the room opened up and Dante walked in wearing his usual clothes with his appearance always being the same, as he looked over towards Psyren and Tia he let his hand rub against the top of his head while thinking.

“I see that you are awake, I’m Dante and if you like I can give you a tour while explaining everything you want to know.”

Psyren paid attention to every word said. His concious mind was still confused, and grasped at every piece of fact served to him in order to piece together how and why he was there. When the screen describing the races came up, Psyren recognized a figure and stepped closer. He learned alot about hollows in just a few short seconds, and also saw the term "Shinigami" in the files.

"So.. the thing that attacked me, was once a human soul?" He asked, more to himself then Tia. "And they become monsters if these.. "Shinigami" creatures fail to send them to heaven?" he asked out in open air, his voice carrying a hint of amusement. "Sounds like religious myths and supersitions.." He said, directly to Tia this time, and noticed that she stopped speaking. A moment later he turned towards the door as it opened, and saw the figure entering the room.

"You! You were there, you saved me.. thank you, i will find a way to repay this debt somehow.." he said, as if he was ashamed of having a debt to someone and needed to even the score as soon as possible. Hearing Dante's suggestion, he nods in agreement and accept the tour-offer.

Pilot 1: Target is soon within reach, ready the T-Torps for launch.
Pilot 2: Roger, Transportation devices primed, ready for launch in 70.

The deck of the Morgana was filled to the brink with heavily armored soldiers, men and women clad in scarlet red uniforms made of reinforced carbon-fiber, specially enhanced to protect from elemental type fullbring and regular arms but still allowing them great mobility. On top of this protective garment they wore black protective armor that covered their vital areas and shoulders, the shoulders were specially equiped with an array of high-tech tools such as EMP generators.

Sergeant:
Elites!
Prepare for combat.
We launch in 60 seconds!

The sudden announcement caused the crew which had until then been stone-faced contemplating the upcoming fight roar into action, men and women orderly but at a rapid pace equipped black metal helmets that covered their faces, a red slit functioning as the camera that gave the wearer virtual sight. As one they turned from one another so that two lines were formed facing two blast doors that as they were waiting was slowly opening, revealing a tight compartment within that housed two rows of "wall-seats" where the riders could secure themselves.

Sergeant:

Listen up soldiers, this is an important task that you have all been blessed to undertake, for the glory of our organization and the safety of our people! This mission has been specifically ordered by the chief himself so I expect you all to perform up and beyond what is asked of you!

Team Kudos targets is at the top of the Phantom Corp Tower!
Your goal is to take whoever you find in the family quarters nto custody, if they resist your all weapons free!

Team Ashira, your goal is to extract information from the research facilities located beneath the family quarters, make sure to demolish the facilities when you leave, class 3 gear functions have been authorized, I repeat, class 3 have been authorized.

As he was briefing the soldiers two officers walked down beside the two lines, handing them what looked like small black boxes, though as soon as a soldier got their hands on one they clicked a button which released a lock that allowed the soldiers to quickly disassemble the block, revealing its true form as a small rifle, the weapon gleaming with high tech colors and lights, one after one they released the lock on their triggers before planting the weapon on a holder on their backs, the officers themselves got their gear equiped when the others were done and went to their respective sides.

The Sergeant nodded to one of the officers as he passed him by and went over to a console where he typed in several commands before pulling down a large red lever which caused the compartments inside the transportion devices to light up, the machines coming to life. And as if that was the cue, the soldiers started to file into the compartments, the teams taking their places inside, securing themselves along the walls until finally the officers entered and took place at the end of each compartment, securing themselves in the things only seat.

Pilot 1: We are within reach!
Pilot 2: Engaging fire sequence.

The pilots voices resounded through the large air-craft carrier, a prototype machine of a plane that was completely invisible to the naked eye, yet so large that it could house six jet-fighters, though this one was modified for a different purpose, two round metallic gates opened wide on the outside of the flying beast, readying itself for launch.

Sergeant: You launch in 15 seconds! Impact in 30!

The Sergeant was typing frantically on the console, the soldiers within the compartment solemnly waited while the officers were looking over data-pads, going over mission data until the Sarge finished his work and pulled a different lever that caused the blast doors to close.

Sergeant Good luck F-Laws!

Dante nodded and smiled while waiting beside the door for Psyren while Tia and the screens that were full of information faded away as the room slowly began to shut down the closer Psyren got to Dante and the door, it started with the lights in the room slowly fading until they were completely shut down, the glass in the giant windows followed as they darkened blocking all the light that would normally enter the room. By the time Psyren had reached Dante and the door had closed behind them the room had been completely shut down, once they were out of the room and into the giant hall like corridor it had become much brighter and yet still void of people.

“Let’s not worry about owing me anything instead why not tell me your name?”

Dante had begun to walk down the corridor in a casual way he wasn’t in a rush and had the attitude that he would get where he wanted to eventually and instead of worrying when he would get there he would enjoy the journey that he was on, the giant walls of the corridor were a clear white color at first but gradually started to change with the small holograms inside the walls bringing them to life with various different decorations, the walls in the corridor had changed to giant oceans with fish moving on the floors and if one looked up towards the ceiling of the corridor then they would see that it was also an ocean with waves crashing together just like they would in a real ocean, the floor below their feet had also changed to images of the ocean floor with each step they made sending out small ripples of water across the floor itself and despite all of it being holograms it felt so real that you had the impression you were walking on the floor of the ocean itself.

“As you can see by the systems and constantly changing surroundings everything in here is run by the AI called Tia...she was the girl you were just talking to in your room although she seems to be showing off at the moment.”

Dante smiled a genuine smile even it was only slight as he spoke about Tia and despite her the fact that she was an AI he still referred to her as a girl like she was a real living person perhaps it was down to the fact that he had grown up around her that he had started to see her as a person, as they reached the end of the corridor the giant double doors slowly began to open with the twin doors retracting into the walls, as they retracted the other room began to come into sight it was a much larger room about 3 or 4 times the size of the room that Psyren had recently came from which meant that this new room could have been large enough to fit 2 or 3 houses into. The sound of guns firing and explosions going off could also be heard it was so loud that one would think a war was raging on inside the room and then followed the loud voice filled with anger that boomed throughout the room it was louder than any of the gun shots or explosions.

“You little bastard I will fucking kill you...you camping little shit get your ass here now!”

With the doors fully opened they walked into the room that had two or three different levels to it and despite the sound of a war going off it was soon apparent what the cause of all the noise was, one of the giant walls on the first floor was displaying the images from some sort of war game with Rei hurling abuse towards the players she was going up against them their laughter only causing Rei to go even more insane and it was probably a good idea that she couldn’t see them if she could they would probably have a fist in their faces or worse. Rei was the girl that had shot the hollow stopping it from hitting Psyren although she had failed to notice that Dante or Psyren had entered the room with her being so engrossed into the action of the game that was happening before her very eyes as well as the screaming of abuse at the other players, still while she was like this it was hard to visualise her as the one that could easily take out a hollow instead she was like the normal teenager messing around and having fun even though most girls would probably be out shopping so maybe she wasn’t normal after all. Apart from the large wall that Rei was using the others were simple in their design in that they were a clear white color with images of paintings spread out on the walls helping break up the plain color of the wall and such a simple thing helped the room look stunning and gave it the bright fresh feeling. The three levels of floors were connected by a chrome colored stair case with glass running down the sides of the staircase, the simple yet elegant staircase matched the room perfectly in that it looked visually stunning when combined with the room despite not having any outstanding features.

“The room we are currently in is the games room or relaxation centre...both mean the same thing I guess.”

The bottom floor that they were on had a giant couch black couch that stood out more because the white walls, the couch was made from real leather as well as the giant couch there was a bar at the end of the room that looked like it held various different drinks and food for if you wanted a snack while playing and having fun. If you looked up towards the other floors you would see that despite being connected they were still sealed off from each other with clear glass walls blocking out the sound from the other rooms it meant that if somebody was listening to music in one room it wouldn’t affect the others, because of this it meant as soon as they entered the second floor they could no longer hear Rei or the game she was on. In the centre of the room was a giant full sized snooker table although it looked small thanks to the sheer size of the room. Indeed the room was so large that it housed various different games, no matter what game you wanted to play you could probably find it somewhere on this floor with large archways and openings leading to more rooms further into the floor and for as far as one could see each room had some sort of game inside it.

“This floor pretty much has every game you desire if it doesn’t then it will be brought in for you, the room above us is a giant pool in case you want to go for a swim or something. If you look towards the wall on your right Tia should be about to display a map of the floor and building so that you can pick where you would like to go.”

As Dante finished talking a bright blue terminal like hologram appeared on the wall with a giant list of everything that was in the room from the normal office blocks to the more secret sides of the building, no matter what it was it was listed with the building that they were in housing everything that anybody could ever want or even imagine some of the things were beyond a normal person wildest dreams. Dante waited for Psyren to pick out where he wanted to go although he was pretty sure the normal part of the building would be the last thing Psyren would want to see not only that but he was certain the boy would have a number of questions for him.

Just as Dante pointed it out to him, Psyren realized he never introduced himself. He didnt have time earlyer, and forgot after waking up.

"Watergate, Psyren Watergate. Most people just call me Psy or Ren, take your pick" He said distantly, as if reminiscing a past event.

He continued down the hallways, amazed at the display Tia put on, and even more perplexed by the fact that an AI felt like "showing off". Such a human emotion, this AI must be top of the line he thought.
As they ended up in the game room, he took a moment to proscess all the information he had been given. Yet there was a question that gnawed in his mind, and despite his urge to ask for a SNES and a copy of Megaman X, he descided to disregard fun for a while. After all, the events of late had put things in a very new perspective. He had thought fullbringers were unique, and that he was one out of a few. Now his world had expanded to include the strangest creatures of power, from the ones known as hollow and shinigami to the Quincy group. He shook his head and regained focus on the matter at hand, and voiced up.

Outside of the building high in the dark night sky the eyes of the building had picked up on the unusual movement, the giant torpedoes coming into the view of Tia the AI and without a doubt it was an attack from the F-laws again. In response the giant building had begun to react itself the outside of the building had begun to glow a bright blue light as the barrier erected around shielding it off from the outside world it wasn’t impossible to break but could withstand quite a bit of damage even if the barrier wasn’t at full power. The windows of the building had also become clear allowing everybody on the top floors to see outside and into the sky, no it wasn’t that they had become clear it was that the images were being displayed for the people inside to see, along with the barrier forming on the outside the interior walls had been heavily reinforced with large doors slamming down on the different areas of the building sealing the sections off all of this was happening in the space of a few seconds with the people not even able to react to anything that Tia was doing to the building.

“We are under attack! Prepare for battle!”

The voice of Tia could be heard throughout the top half of the building the bottom half had been completely sealed off they would know nothing of what was about to happen above them, along with the warning Tia had also engaged the outside weapons with the roof on the outside making way to dozens of large turrets that begun to open fire on the incoming missiles and anything else in their general direction the sky being lit up beautifully and magnificently with the red and blue like energy that was before fired in the direction of the missiles some hitting while some passed by and into the sky before fading into nothing. Meanwhile the building itself had begun to glow a soft white light it couldn’t be really seen by the naked eye yet but there was a soft glow radiating outwards from the building itself as well as a low humming noise from the energy around the building.

“it seems we will have to pick this up later for now follow Tia she will lead you to somewhere safe until this battle is over...don’t dare come to the battle zone. In your current state you will only get yourself and others killed.”

The words spoken by Dante towards Psyren were probably cold and straight to the point but they were the truth and he didn’t have the time to be nice in the current situation, with the warning and planning they were probably down to about 20 seconds tops before the battle would kick off if Tia couldn’t stop the attack before it breached the walls. Slamming his hand against the terminal with a serious look on his face as he thought of the different outcomes of the current battle, it was unfortunate but in their current state they were not at full battle capabilities with some of their members at different headquarters and it would take them several minutes to bring them back and that was time they didn’t have. It was remarkable how fast Dante could analyse situations and make the best move but still it took even him a second or two meaning that left less time to actually get into positions...

“This is Dante phantom speaking as you have heard we are under attack...work together and you will be fine...don’t worry about holding back go all out!”

A quick sigh came from Dante as he jumped down the staircase and onto the bottom floor of the relaxation zone, as he landed the few members of the main force of the Phantom family had already gathered although including Dante there was only 4 with the others being spread out across the world. One of them being his younger sister Rei who was also a quincy just like him along with a girl and a boy, the boy looking like some rich price with gold rings and chains hanging off various parts of his body, the girl looked much more normal looking in that she didn’t have anything that made her look rich if anything she probably looked like the odd one out in the group but that didn’t matter to her. All four of them had a smile on their faces as they prepared for battle the thought of them losing had not crossed their minds if they lost they would be killed, that was the nature of the world they lived in and had become second nature to all of them...

“Tia guide us to where we are needed when the time arises.”

Pilot 1: Tower Security is being activated, hostile arnaments are targeting the T-Torps, 20 seconds to impact, Initiate phase 2.
Pilot 2: Roger that, activating emp pulsar, releasing, 1,2,3.

A few heavy shells hit the Torpedos but luckily only caused glancing damage on the craft that continued forward like stubborn bulls, though as the turrets started to calculate a better tradectionary for their shots, a sudden blue pulse of crackling energy struck the tower, a huge ray of blue pale blue energy had come out from nowhere, revealing for a short moment the enormous bulk of the Morgana, and its main gun which had fired the pulse.

Pilot 2: EMP Pulsar, successuflly fired.
Pilot 1: Launch the mellow package.

The Pulsar had left no real damage to the buildings structure, but the real effects of the attack was felt by the AI as she was forced out of existance for a brief period of time, the blue barrier vanished and the turrets fell dead, the reinforcing structure stopped its processes as the entire buildings electric systems went temporarily dead, some machines in the building permanently damaged or destroyed by the intense EMP attack.

Pilot 1: 10 Seconds to impact!
Pilot 2: Launching mellow package!

Hidden chambers along the surface of the torpedos opened up and as one the two torpedos launched a shitstorm of small missiles that streaked ahead of their mothers before exploding violently with the tower wall, causing large cracks in the structure, its purpose was not to destroy but to soften the wall for impact. Inside the T-Torps the mood was one of mad extiement, the soldiers who had uptil then been stone-faced was unable to hold their composure in the violently shaking vessel, knowing that they would soon perhaps find death in one of the most horrible of ways, the idea of exploding against the wall of on unforgiving structure was not pleseant, but most of the soldiers were actually so filled with adrenaline that they were smiling madly, some were even laughing, death voaws and promises were being made in single instants, bets and bonds were forged in the short seconds to impact, some of Kudos crew had even started singing a mad song of death and victory.

"5 Seconds to Impact"

Resounded through the vessels, causing the soldiers in both of the torpedos to fall silent, focusing on making sure that they were best prepeared for the moment at hand, though instead one of the officers spoke up over the intercom between the T-torps, though the main ship did not hear what he was about to say.

Officer Kudo: There will be heavy resistance.. I know we were ordered to take captives but.. Screw it!
Officer Ashira: Kill em all!

Responded the female officer over the radio, causing the soldiers to roar in mad glee, they were the SEU "Special Enforcement Unit" lawless turned into secret Shocktroopers for the F-Laws, deadly and hungry for blood they were the worst of the worst, soldiers that enjoyed bloodshed! The Building roared in pain as two thundering explosions warned the residents that the invaders had come, the T-Torps crashing through the softened wall with ease, crushing through two security walls before coming to a final stop.

The First Torpedo landed within the family quarters, creating a series of holes in the wall, crushing a table and the kitchen as it came to a stop in the middle of the living area, a servant or something along those lines who had been seeking refuge in what she deemed a safe location, scared out of her wits was slowly backing away from the craft which had become deadly still, though it was only for a moment before two hydralic engines bloomed to life, causing an enormous ruckuss as cogs and wiring was driven through the system, causing a clack and other nefarious sounds before the front part of the torpedo suddenly cracked open, resulting in a wave of grey smoke, the smell of burnt skin and plastic causing the entire place to reek within seconds.

Hoorah!

For a moment the maid or whatever she was that nothing was inside, or that if anyone was inside, they were all surly dead from the impact, though she was proven wrong when the sound of roaring soldiers, high on survival and thirsty for release, came rushing out of the ruined craft, followed quickly by a storm of bullets that ripped the poor girl to shreds. Following quickly behind the storm of bullets came the SEU soldiers, rushing out of the torpedo in a orderly but still chaotic fashion, theirs guns waving around to scan for targets, poor souls that were within the room was dispatched quickly by precise shots to the vitals, while the unlucky got blasted to pieces by heavy ordanance that some of the soldiers were wielding.

Kudo: Split up! Search the rooms for people, Fig, Shot, come with me!

The soldiers split up, and not long after screams could be heard everywhere as people were found, pulled out from hiding and molested violenly by the crazed soldiers before their lives were ended in a flash. Kudo himself marched determinedly over to a large door that would lead them out of the living quarters and towards what he had been explained was the social area, his heat detectors was telling him that most of the people in the area was there, or was being lead there, which ment he had to go there!

His two fellow soldiers went ahead of him and blasted open the doors with a few well placed shots from their underslung grenade launchers, causing the door to blow open for them, allowing Kudo to march into the next cooridoor where two guards were waiting for them.

Guards: Damn Flaws! Die!

One of the guards seemed to be aktivating his fullbring while the other started firing his handgun, one bullet hitting the officer square in the face, but the bullet simply ricohched off the thick armor, the other fullbring guard was about to launch something but was stopped in his track as a series of blasts from Fig put him low, causing the other guard to shriek as he realized whatever plan he had was foiled, he attempted to do something else, maybe bring up his own fullbring, though he did not get a chance, Kudo was at him in an instant, the quite burly man burying him under his heavy armor, crushing every bone in his body before he pushed himself up, launching a terrible blow to the mans face that caused his skull to crack in two, killing the man instantly, though it did not stop him from landing several more attacks, devastating the mans face further.

-Section 2b of the building is almost cleared sir-

Reported a soldier over the voice-com, he smiled inside his helmet and ordered them all to start rallying to his current position, he then raised himself up and walked over to the next door, his armored gloves touching the metal of the security door, he knew instantly that his arnaments would not be enough, causing him to open up a certian channel on the voice-com.

Kudo: Ashira, I have a door problem.. I need a fix.
Ashira: Goddamit, do I need to do all the boring shit? Responded the famale officer, clearly annoyed, the sound of a loud bang following the sentance as the girl executed a scientist that had just given up the password to the local security terminal. She was standing in the midst of a battlefield, dead guards and scinetists were spread out everywhere, their broken forms desecrated by the stamping boots of the soldiers that were marching all over the place, ransacking the place for information.

Leroy, Christ! Go see if you can unlock the security doors at team-shitheads level, they are stuck, again. The order was recived by two soldiers that had uptil then been tapping away at computer terminals, they were more lightly armored than the others and wore H signs on their backs, basically they were F-law hackers, or anal-probes as Team Ashina had nicked them.

Kudo: You bitch, I heard that! barked Kudo over the voice-com.
Ashira: The doors will be open soon, try not to shoot any freindlies while you wait ok? Don't want a repeat of last time.
Kudo: Shut it.. Just give me your report.
Ashira: Heh, we've successfully taken over the main research halls and are rooting out survivors as we speak, we got into trouble with some security bots and turrets, but it was mostly a cake-walk
Kudo: No losses?
Ashira: Eh? No, just most of the rookies, do they count?
Kudo: Not really-
Ashira: What about you?
Kudo: We lost Joey upon impact, shithead forgot to lock his helmet.
Ashira: A fitting end for a member of team shithead!
Kudo: What wa-!?

The voice-com was closed off just as he realized his mistake of words, though he was quickly distracted from his rage as the alarm started to die down in their area of the building, the security doors slowly starting to open. A beep signaled him that he had just recived the building blue-prints, looking over them on a data-pad he got a vicious smile and started ordering his gathering soldiers around. Down in the research facilities the hackers were hard at work in fighting against the House AI, attempting to strangle control away from her, or atleast attempt to keep her busy.

Psyren was about to reinforce his question when the wall-panels switched to displaying the outside view. At that moment, Tia called out the confirmation of an attack over the intercom. The situation was clearly bad, even tho Psy carried no warfare experience, this much was obvious.

Having been told by Dante to stay away from the battle, he nodded in compliance. He wasnt about to get himself killed as soon as he had learned of his own powers. No, he needed to survive, to grow stronger and fight the F-law another time. Although he didnt know it was actually F-law this time aswell, a part of him cursed the missed oppertunity to gain valuable combat-experience. Young as he was, he was a realist, and knew that fighting was inevitable on the path he had chosen to walk.

"Dont die out there, i need you to make me stronger you hear? Promise you will come back!" He said in a serious tone, almost frustrated even.

With Tia taking a hit from the EMP pulse the entire system in the building shut down the windows become clear as day and for the first time since the towers had been created people could see out of the towers but also people on the outside could see in, the lights in the building had also gone done along with most of the security systems everything went quiet apart from the most important systems and faculties in the building. It was during this small timeframe that the F-laws had unleashed their assault on the tower with the sounds of blazing gun fire and explosions followed by the screams of the people that had been caught and executed running throughout the towers, it wasn’t a very pleasant sound, if you were new to such battles then it would make you quiver from fear at the thought you might just be next.

Rei: “what!?!? They broke through so easily...what the fuck was Tia doing!”
Kai: “I doubt she wanted to let them in...nothing we can do about it now.”
Ayano: “well I gu....”
Dante: “all of you calm down things are going as predicted.”

The panic between the three of them was quickly dealt with by the calm and collected tone of Dante who hadn’t changed or broken a sweat despite the current situation they had found themselves in instead he had waited for a few minutes even if they seemed like hours, finally he smiled while looking up towards one of the cameras in the room, the strangest part of everything was that the lights still remained perfectly fine in the room they were in and it was something the others had failed to realise in their panicked states. The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard in the distance as the doors of the room flung open with a few of the people that were attacking the tower rushing in only to be met by a few shots ripping through the armour leaving several thin laser like holes in their bodies as they fell to their deaths, their faces and bodies crashing against the unforgiving floor of the tower, the look on the face of Dante being that of the fearless leader with no thought of losing a battle on his grounds.

Dante: “Tia begin the plan...”
Tia: “understood and good luck.”

Within moments of being down by the EMP blasts Tia had sprung to life as well as the tower itself everything was coming back online apart from the machines that had become damages beyond repair but they weren’t a great loss, if any of the soldiers possessed knowledge in the field of technology they would have the feeling that Tia had let herself be taken out as a ruse to bring them into the tower, soldiers with vast experience would more than likely feel the sickening feeling that they had just been lured into a trap and that things were about to get real messy. With the building coming back to life the windows blocked the people on the outside from seeing anything, the lights had come online again along with all of the security systems and Tia was once again at full power, the hackers that were fighting against Tia were at most slowing Tia down without really getting anywhere but they did make progress every few minutes which just showed their incredible skill for them to match an AI of such standards.

Tia: “you have 10 seconds to seize all attacks...if you do not then you will be killed.”

The voice of Tia could be heard from everywhere in the tower along with holograms of Tia showing up in every section of the tower as she looked directly on the people responsible for attack on her home and she didn’t look to happy instead she had a cold look with anger coursing through whatever she was made from and it was a scary thought that the AI of the tower had become enraged, in this place she was a god and one thing anybody hated to do was to piss off that god and the countdown from Tia got closer and closer to zero although even if they did seize the attack it seemed Tia wouldn’t care, she had already decided that she would kill them all for what they would do this was one of the drawbacks of her having emotion...

“0...”

It was the research labs that were targeted first by Tia the sound of roaring flames soon ran through all of the research areas the section being sealed off from all others there was no escape for the people trapped inside, screams if there was any were drowned out by the flames that lasted for several long minutes with the scorching flames reaching temperatures beyond anything that could be found normally, after the flames had seized the section become covered in a poisonous gas but the most important thing was that all computers and other machines had been completely incinerated the room was nothing but a large empty space now with no chance of anybody being able to gain any information on what was going on in the research labs, with the research labs dealt with Tia had turned her attention to the other people in her home.

“F-laws...I hate you more than anything else in this world...”

The hatred that Tia bore was clear for all to see she hated the F-laws with every inch of her being; the doors in parts of the building had been wrestled from her control and it was these areas which she had directed the four of them to, each one of the four directed to a different area that needed to be dealt with. With them appearing out of nowhere and catching the soldiers by surprise it had allowed them to take several of the soldiers in one swift movement, with Kai using his golden wires to slice through the soldiers as if they were fragile pieces of paper their bodies being severed into tiny little pieces with blood and body parts littering the hallways. The other three of the group were not so gruesome and sick in the way they fought with Kira and Dante taking out the soldiers with their blue like energy from the guns that they wielded and it was clear to the soldiers that the both of them were Quincy although they probably already knew that and the final one being Ayano who seemed to come from the ground itself, she took some of the soldiers out with steel beams that protruded outwards from the floor and walls of the tower in such a short moments of notice it didn’t give the soldiers much chance to react but now the element of surprise was over.

“Come come Psyren we are almost there.”

By now the hologram of Tia that was leading Psyren had reached the bridge that connected both towers together with Psyren standing on the bridge the door behind him had sealed shut with the sound of compressed air being released shortly after, the locks on the bridge had released as it slowly broke away from the first tower as the bridge got smaller with each passing second until Psyren had been sealed into the second tower that had been built right next to the one were the battle was raging on. Once inside the second tower Psyren could see thousands upon thousands of rooms being built and finished off, it was now clear to the boy that the buildings were fairly new and still had yet to be fully finished, yet with all the machines working so hard the rooms were being completed at an exceptional rate. There were machines floating and flying around the large empty building and it hit him just how advanced and far ahead Phantom Corp was when compared to that of the normal world and without a doubt it hit him that the F-laws were probably just as advanced as well, and that these two hidden superpowers were at war with each other.

“You should be safe here now but we are sorry everything is not fully complete...however this floor is pretty much finished.”

The floor that they were on was the social area it had everything one would need to relax and have a good time from games to food and drink if you could think of it then it would be here, although it remained to be seen if somebody could relax at such a time but that didn’t matter he was safe and that was the important thing. Further down deeper into the complex the humming sound could be heard it was quiet and yet loud at the same time, Psyren could hear it because the structures had yet to be completed and so sound from other areas could still be heard. The sound came from fighter drones that had been activated on the bottom floor as they were lifted up through the building on their platforms readying themselves for taking off, Tia and Dante knew that the F-laws came on a jet or something of the sort and that there was a chance it was hovering somewhere in the sky waiting to pick the soldiers back up.

"Kudo, can you hear me? Kudo!?.. Shit, broken."

Ashira banged her head protection in disgust at the faulty hardware, its outer electronics scorched by the firestorm that had suddenly hit her squad. Needing to restore some form of communication she walked over to one of the dead hackers, unlike her own his thin armor had not been able to save him.

"Useless bastard.."

She said as she pulled out a short-range com from one of his pockets and used to hail all nearby members of her squad. "Come in you bastards, who are still alive?"

It took a while but eventually she started hearing replies from the various team members, most of the shocktroopers had survived the blast, expect for the few who had been so unfortunate to be close to the entry points of the fire, the heat there being too much for the armor to handle.

All in all, she had 40% of her team left, though it was not so bad, her veterans were all alive, plus a few lucky newbies, the rookies were all dead now though.

"This is great, they've already helped us scorch the place, lets rig it to blow then move on."

She repeated the order then looked down to her left where one of the hackers were still alive, crouching down in denial of what had just happened, the sight filled her with disgust and caused her to lash out at him by sending a sharp kick in his face. The mans fullbring had been what had saved him from the fire, but he had been unable to save his comrade.

"Get up! You saved a computer instead of your freind, now use that terminal and inject the virus, you said it was ready to go just when the fire hit did't you?.. Gah, Gass.."

Activating the air filters on her mask she pulled the man up from his hiding spot and forced him onto the single-remaining computer in the facility.

"Work!"

Shit.. Shit, please lets retrea-Crrrrrrr

Kudo was standing in the living room right next to the ruined T-Torp, surrounding him was his most elite veterans, minus Joey, his corpse hanging out from his seat just a glance behind him, he was getting more and more desperate com-chatter from his rookies and regulars that had been sent out and about on "search and destroy"

Kudo was a brute of man with a short temper, he was not very smart and he knew it, but what he lacked in brain he made up for in animalistic cunning. He and the other veterans in his squad knew the truth of his division well, they were fodder, suecide units that got sent on suecide missions, their lives ment nothing to the higher-ups, so it had become something of a thing within their division that those that survive are the ones that do not stick to the mission as it was originally planned, they had been ordered in very simple terms to capture and destroy, but the truth had quickly become evident that they had been sent to test the strength of this place, or maybe they had just been sent to do some damage, then die a horrible death.

It was all part of being a member of the "glorious" SEU. Though the trick of staying alive was not to completelly stray from the mission, so he had sent the rookies and the regulars to do the "dying" part, while the vets did the "completing goal" part, 50/50 was fair right? He had of course not told them anything, and as another desperate plead for reinforcements came from one of his weak subordinates he simply cut communication and instead adressed his fellow survivors.

"You all know the plan..
Are you worthless bags of human flesh ready for this?"

The Veterans laughed wickedly, the kind reminding you of a monster getting ready to eat its victim, those who had removed their protective headgear were visibly grinning, bloodshot eyes hungry for what was to come.

"Excellent... Now, Gentelemen..
Lets cause some havoc! "

The Roar of the soldiers could be heard all the way to the next tower.

Two small hangars revealed themselves for a short moment as they released hundreds of miniature drones, the size of your hand, they were pretty much nothing but a flight system, a small body, a basic targeting AI and a gun. Emerging from the Morgana they swarmed towards the incoming fighter drones, filling the sky with thousands of small micro blasts capable of ripping the head off a cat, backing-up their name, they all looked like small flying revolvers.

Psyren silently followed Tia through the narrow hallways, across the bridge and into the relaxation level of the second tower. The wall-panels there was displaying the outside world in HD, rendering faster then any computer-generated terrain Psyren had ever laid eyes on. He found himself astonished, Tia's processor unit had to be close to military-grade to pull this off at such a massive scale. All the while managing the various security systems of the complex, it made her seem even more impressive.

As he approached the walls to get a better view outside, he could discern the battlecry of several warriors/soldiers not far away. He immediately thought they might've infiltrated the second tower, but surely Tia wouldve warned him if that was the case.

Then he saw it. He had to look twice to be sure, but there was no doubt.
"An airship! So thats how they managed to appear as if from nowhere!"
He said out loud, as much to himself as to Tia.

Watching it hovering in the Sky, he realized something. Thinking back to the day he met his first Hollow, he unconciously removed his focus from his pocket and held it tightly in his hand. A thought struck him. It was a dangerous thought, possibly even stupid, but he did'nt care at all. All he knew is that the people who had selflessly saved his life and taken him in as one of their own was now in danger. His fullbring manifested in a brilliant whirl of reiryoku, forming the cannon on his right arm.
"I can take it.. Tia, i think i can it down!" he said eagerly. Little did he know that what he faced was an F-law vessel, most probably heavily defended against any type of fullbring or reishi-based attack.

He treid to concentrate, like he had done the last time. Searching deep within for that tingling sensation of power, the power he had come to know as Reiryoku, he finally finds it and tries to bring it to the surface. Surely enough, the high-pitched noise coming from the cannon as it charged up was a tell-tale sign that something he did was working. He lifted it towards the vessel, and steadied it with his other arm. A hint of nervousness hit him, or was it fear perhaps? Nobody would blame him for it, the last time he used it was mere days ago and it had ended in a 48 hour Comatose.
He could not worry about that now he thought, and summoned courage from within before putting it all on the line.

Then he fired..

It was a brilliant and dazzling flash of light, pure reishi in its most beautiful form discharged at a high compression rate. But for the loud boom and the brilliant flash, no ordnance left the tower. Infact, apart from the wall-panel in front of him being blown out from the misfiring explosion, nothing seemed to have been fired. When the echo of the boom subsided, only Psyrens ear-shattering shriek of pain and fear was heard as it resonated throughout the second tower.
Everything had gone wrong, the compressed reishi could not be contained and misfired inside the barrel. The inexperienced fullbringers Hollow-reiryoku was dispersed all over the place, any spiritually aware being near the towers would sense it as if a powerful hollow just appeard in the second tower.

Widened, tear-shot eyes looked at his right arm. Limp, unable to be moved it hung from his shoulder like a bleeding sack of meat. He immediately thought he had lost it, his arm and fullbring, everything. And he could very well be right, all due to recklessness and inexperience. For the second time in a week, he had failed his own expectations by miles and miles. And more importantly, he had failed his new family...

Laughter flowed through the room followed by the screams of the soldiers that Kai came across each one being severed in half with relative ease by the golden colored wires that spun around the his body, they looked beautiful dancing through the air with their soft golden color but as beautiful as they were they were deadly their only strengths being that they could slice through anything that they touched and they could extend to almost any length Kai wanted. What made the fullbring truly deadly was Kai, his skill with the thin wires was truly great and it should be from the years of training he had gone through. By the time he was finished with the troops their severed body parts covered the floor of his section with the blood splashing up the walls and ceiling of his section, it was a sickening sight one that matched the sickening screams from the soldiers; this was without a doubt the darker side to the Phantom Corp.

Kai: “Dante this place is clean of soldiers pretty much...you sure that these guys are strong?”
Dante: “don’t get carried away if I’m right each section will have a leader find them and end this at once.”

A sigh from Dante escaped his lips as he shook his head he knew the strength of Kai he just at times wished that the boy would stop underestimating the people he fought however he had faith in the abilities Kai possessed. Dante himself had just finished clearing his own section or most of it there were still a few soldiers that had managed to escape although Dante wondered if the soldiers came looking for their deaths, there seemed to be no escape plan and the soldiers or most of them charged towards their death like it was nothing, if anything the soldiers had earned his respect for the way they fought and remained loyal to their cause. Several more beams of energy fired from his guns each one piercing through a soldiers the small piercing holes ripping through their bodies and armour like they were sheets of paper and within seconds the glorious sound of battle had seized in his section with the last door in his path finally opening up, he could see the head of the people in his section or at least they seemed to be much more calm.

“Tell me...are you the leader of all these soldiers?”

Dante spoke, his tone was cold and seemed to lack the emotions one would expect after all his home and people under his care had been killed and worse, perhaps he was so angry that he had reached a calm state either way any experienced soldier would easily be able to sense the power radiating from the aura surrounding Dante as he looked over towards the group of experienced soldiers that surrounded Kudo. Despite the bloodbath that he had caused before reaching Kudo there was no blood on Dante not a speck what was even more amazing was the lack of sweat and how he seemed like he had simply breezed through the soldiers as if they were not even there, yes some of the soldiers might have been much weaker than the ones in the room but to still cut through them so easily only proved that Dante was strong.

“And tell me what makes you so loyal...you come here knowing that you will die and yet you don’t care.”

Meanwhile the other two members of the four man team had also quickly cleared through their sections the style of them both considerably different as Ayano tortured and played with the soldiers before ending their lives whereas as Rei was much more merciful despite the fact the soldiers had killed many people that she knew, she still decided to end their lives fast and with the least amount of pain as possible. Out of all of them Rei was the one that possessed the biggest heart and often followed her emotions despite the fact they would often lead her into trouble, she had tried to change but every time she tried she found it too hard it was just her soft nature but she no longer wanted to change, her brother and the head of their group were the two most important people to her and they liked how she looked upon the world with her gentle eyes. Still she killed the soldiers in her section until hardly a single one remained in front of her as she searched for the leader of the group unless she had already killed that person as well although she doubted the head of the section would fall so easily.

-------------------------------------------

Tia: “Psyren...wai...”

Tia had realised just what Psyren was about to do however with her mind being preoccupied with everything else that was raging on inside the towers as well as outside it she was that half a second to slow, the bright flash of light was stunning although the blast had failed to materialize like Psyren had expected. Perhaps it was for the best that he didn’t actually hit the large ship above them the last thing he needed was to draw the attention of whoever was flying the ship, what he had done though was release a large amount of energy that radiated outwards he had become a flashing beacon for anything passing by, the strangest thing happened though and that was the sheer lack of hollows that came rushing usually they would have been all over the place swarming like locusts but instead the sky and area remained clear of anything hollow like or so it seemed.

“To late...”

Were the words the hologram of Tia mumbled as she cast a look up towards the sky her sensors had picked up on something that was starting to appear in the sky above them, it was a doorway no it was a crack in the sky itself but it was unlike any other doorway that hollows or shinigami used this was seemed unique and very different. Instead of a door like shinigami or a tear like hollows would usually create this rift or doorway emitted flames, the flames covered part of the sky as a small figure stepped out and stood directly above the large ship that was floating above the towers, the flames died out eventually just as fast as they appeared but the figure had already emerged from the gateway it had created.

“How is your arm Psyren and please try and control yourself more...at least until you can use your fullbring more freely.”

Tia spoke as she turned back towards Psyren dismissing the figure that had just appeared, her main focus was on protecting the boy like she had been told and she had faith that the others would deal with the thread besides she had just finished uploading the information to a secure backup network and needed to now focus on taking out the air ship. The drones had come under attack by the swarms of flying revolvers, the bullets not really doing much damage but if it kept up the damage would soon mount up and so shields were formed in front of the drones absorbing and deflecting the energy until the drones got within distance to release two shockwaves of concentrated energy, the shockwaves of energy would pass harmlessly through objects but would burn the insides of the objects and they were directed towards the giant ship.

Kudo: It seems like we have a visitor..

The soldiers turned to look at Dante, those who had not equiped their head protection did so now but made sure to flash the visitor a dangerous grin before the headwear covered their faces. They slowly started backing away, forming a line, their guns settling on Dante until it looked like a proper execution squad, kudo on the other hand did not move and almost seemed to near Dante, his threatening stature raising danger alarms in anyone who ever laid eyes on him.

"Lets see how many survive this one, I am betting on myself."

The Soldiers expressed a dark augh at the idea, their guns being lifted up to their eyes for better aim, and it seemed like they would fire, before Kudo suddenly shouted.

"Lets Go!"

All as one unit jumped backwards as they launched smoke and fragmentation grenades towards Dantes feet, before the man could even react the soldiers had crashed through the windows, using grappling hooks to climb up to the next floor and started rushing down through the empty corridors of the abandoned floor. Dante dodged the explosions caused by the grenades but a fragment managed to cut into his right leg, causing a slight flinch of pain that gave Kudo the chance he needed, the giant man emerging from the smoke as a wave of flesh and metal, his sledgehammer of an arm leading the way into Dantes stomach.

Dantes body felt a shockwave of pain and tremors rock through his body as he was thrown through the air, hitting the wall next to the door he had arrived from in a very painful manner, his body sliding down the wall as he attempted to regain balance.

"You asked why we are so loyal!?"

Shouted Kudo at him as he started laughing mockingly as he was slowly approaching Dante, his armored arms slowly getting covered in what looked like white bone, the man turned his hand towards himself and pointed at his brain.

"We are all rigged to blow!"

Lifting his other arm he suddenly had a rifle in his hand, usually the recoil only allowed for two-handed use but the man easily fired on full auto, his arm never even flinching from the force, Dante managed to dodge but was suddenly intercepted by a grenade and had to throw himself over a table to avoid the following explosion, the table cracked under his weight and he felt a sting of pain as a piece of wood penetrated his skin.

"If we so much as think of "treachery"

Instead of aiming at the fallen Dante he aimed at the head of a nearby wounded girl, that had somehow been able to survive so far. His eyes widened up to a level where dante could see the full round form of his eyeballs, he looked manic, and to push that idea further his mouth formed a wide white grin, his expression that of a joker mask.

"Boom..!"

The girl did not even see it coming as her head was instantly popped like a watermelon, the fried innards of her skull flying in all directions.

"Hahaha...!
But you know, its fine ain't it?
Lifes worth living for days like these."

The gun slowly aimed its course back to Dante as he reached for his com-link, setting it to open channels.

"To all operatives, and any motherfuckers that happen to be listing, the leader is dead, you hear me? You can all go home now. I got his head on a pan, and I am wondering whether to fry it with butter or vinegar.. Section J3, requesting some damned pick-up."

He smiled viciously at Dante, he had taken the man by surprise so he had gotten a good start on the fight, but he had far from killed the leader, yet he had just given out the information to everyone in the upper floors of the tower that their leader had been killed, and his location. Before Dante could do anything to follow up on this, Kudo tapped his right shoulder pad, something activated and suddenly a wave of EMP blew out from some storage containers hidden beneath the armor, crippling any form of communication for anyone nearby, causing Dante to become completely cut off from TIA or anyone else.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Pilot 1: Revolvers-Drone fire is being countered.
Pilot 2: Roger, engaging Revolver-Drone Suicide Program.. 1,2,3 bye.

The Revolver drones energy container that made up most of their weight imploded and soon the sky was filled with hundreds of micro explosions that together ripped through the fighter drones shields and melted their armor, and soon the explosion grew as the fighter drones joined in with their own explosion, and when the smoke was cleared there was not a single drone still flying in the sky.

Pilot 1: Ugh.. Those are going to be expensive to replace.
Pilot 2: Focus, start charging the main weapon again, at this rate we will have to use it again..
Pilot: 1: Right.. Wait, I am detecting an anomaly.
Pilot 2: What? Try bringing it up on screen.

Soldiers in her group were having troubles dealing with some assholes working them down, but she had called for the use of the remaining rookies and holo-clones to be used as distractions while she and her own actual elite veterans made their way towards the core of the building, they had all engaged a stealth mode that made them invisible to both TIA and the naked eye.

She had managed to upload a virus into their AI that was secretly underminding the AIs efforts, though if she would notice this or not was up to luck, arriving at locked doors they simply asked the AI to open up and the Virus made her unknowingly comply, the elites crept closer and closer to their target, TIAs core.

"My.. my arm..!" Was all the reply Tia received. His eyes bore evidence of the shock Psyren currently experienced. He'd been in alot of fights in his life, despite his wealthy upbringing, and was no stranger to injury or even blood. But the limp sausage of meat and blood that was once his right arm was like nothing he had ever witnessed before, let alone experienced first-hand.

In his confusion, he actually managed to notice the figure that had appeared in the sky. To his own surprise, despite the pain and shock his thoughts were surprisingly clear. He caught himself wondering who this figure were, but suddenly remembered Tia's presence. Grunting painfully he tries to stand up, and succeeds after a few attempts. Finding a strange clarity in the face of combat, a thought strikes him and he turns to Tia with a request.

"Can you bring up the schematics of the building? If you have trouble rendering it all, try the most critical areas first. Armories, safe-rooms, archives, maintenance accesses and server-clusters." He said, his voice bearing obvious signs of pain and distress. Turning towards the lumbering airship, he finishes his thought out loud as he leans on the broken wall.
"This place is akin to a fortress right? And.. Ugh! ..you wouldnt attack a fortress unless you had knowledge of some sort of weakness. I dont know what dante's plan is, but they are sure to have found a weakness if they attack with such ferociety, we must find out where they plan to strike."

Dante didn’t have time to react to the brutal mans attack instead he could only take evasive action and defend against the brutal assault, still not even Dante could defend without taking some damage but he did manage to keep the damage to bare minimum, a small cut in his leg from the explosions as well as a splinter of wood from the table. Those were nothing though compared to the bullet that as about to smash into his face, lucky enough for him the brute of the man had eased up on his assault so that he could kill the woman that was in the room, Dante didn’t really know her but she did work for the Phantom Corp and she had saved his life so he was grateful for that at least.

“Men like you...”

The voice of Dante came from behind Kudo with the afterimage of himself slowly fading away from where he was laying; in the short brief moment Kudo had taken with the girl it had allowed Dante to begin turning the tables on him. As he spoke he drove the bottom of the guns grip into the left shoulder of Kudo with enough force to shatter most people’s shoulder but against this man it was hard to tell what damage would be done or how it would affect him not that Dante gave the man much chance to reach as soon as he was done with the first strike he followed up with a powerful kick to the man’s ribs on the right side of his body driving him into the wall, despite the slim look on Dante he possessed amazing strength and speed.

“Are the most dangerous of all to fight.”

The words by Dante were soon followed by an explosive blast of blue colored Reshi the two charged shots coming from the twin pistols that he held in his hands, the wall behind Kudo had been blown away like it was nothing despite it being reinforced, this only served to show the power of the bullets that Dante was using in the fight. These bullets lacked the piercing affect of the thinner ones but more than made up for it with the destructive power that they possessed, as the pressure from the blasts blew across the room it caused the necklace around his neck to blow wildly along with any other loose and broken pieces that were now scattered throughout the room.

“Get up I doubt an attack like that would keep you down.”

It was a fiery tone that was only matched by his fiery aura that was now exuding out from him, it was rare to see Dante like this he was usually calm and collected most of the time but yet he stood with the aura of a warrior ready to fight to his death, this was something very few had seen and even fewer had lived to tell about it.

_________________________________________

Deep inside the tower the forces of soldiers were swiftly being cut through but the sheer numbers of the soldiers were causing the three members of the group to be slowed down drastically, even if the soldiers were much weaker they couldn’t allow themselves to become distracted and lose sight of their goal if they did they would find themselves injured or even worse dead. The corridors and rooms were littered with severed and broken bodies the walls and floors no longer had the clean look instead it was now died in the dark deep red of the soldiers blood as well as the blood of the people that worked in the towers, it was a horrible and disgusting sight this was the sight of the darker sides of the world that had remained hidden from the world for years.

Further and even deeper down inside the tower the elite team of soldiers along with the girl that was leading them had quickly made progress the virus had caused Tia to become aware that something wasn’t quite right but she couldn’t quite figure out what the problem was during all the chaos that raged on in the tower. As the elite team of soldiers progressed further into the complex towards their goal of reaching the heart of the tower or to be more exact the core of Tia they noticed that the halls had become much colder in their appearance, no longer were they finely decorated instead they were clear steel or some other sort of metal even the floors and ceilings were the same and the area was void of all life. Yet they could hear a faint voice and the closer they got to the core of the tower they could swear that they could see an image of a woman whispering words before fading away again, the words that she spoke where to quiet to be heard or most of them were at least with certain words standing out more and more.

“stop...you have won...retreat before it’s too late....”

___________________________

Outside the towers the sky erupted in the fiery flames from the explosions of the drones and the revolvers the broken pieces falling back down to the ground below them although most pieces either burned up or were too small for anybody to really notice.

“Talk about one hell of an opening!”

The figure remarked while laughing as he looked down at the carnage taking place before him his fiery red eyes standing out the most with his white cloak flickering wildly from the wind that swirled around him, the tip of an handle that looked to be of a katana was also a deep fiery red color. Yet the figure remained still simply watching everything unfold as well as taking an interest in the giant ship like thing floating above the towers it seemed interesting to him.

_____________________________________

“Your arm... Of course from so much misfired energy I would expect nothing less.”

Tia let out what could only be described as a sigh, the chaos that she was tracking through the towers and now the boy was injured, things were looking rather desperate and bleak as well as the news about Dante falling...that couldn’t be true he would be the last to fall but she couldn’t seem to track his location down. As Psyren wished Tia had brought up several holograms that displayed information on the most important parts of the towers as well as several routes to each location however there was one part that remained as a large black dot on the map with little to no information about that location. The only thing it said was “core” other than that what was in it or what it actually did remained sealed away not even Tia really knew what was in that part of the tower.

“As you wished on those holograms are the most important parts of the tower.”

Hehe..
You have no idea.

Kudo rebalanced himself as he forced his shoulder back into its joint, his expression not even flinching at the painful action, the armor had taken most of the damage and the rest was nothing but superfical. He looked like he was about to say something, maybe get into an attack stance, something at all, but instead he suddenly roared like an animal and leapt towards Dante, his body crashing down at him with the force of a bear.

Dante dodged of course, but Kudo was fast to regain balance and leapt at him again, and again, the fight became a like a spanish bullfigthing tournament until Kudo finally managed to unbalance Dante, the short moment of confusion allowing Kudo to get into reaching distance, allowing to deliver a powerful punch into his ribs that sent him flying across the room.

This place is too constrained for fighting with ranged weapons..!

A Fridge that had been blow out of its regular place was laying in the way of Kudo, but instead of walking over it he simply lifted the giant thing over his head.

But this thing will do!

Hurling the heavy object towards Dante, his intention was clearly to crush him beneath the weight of the object.

___________________________________________

The Soldiers that had escaped Dante was making their way across the tower as the two were figthing, they were carefully making sure to avoid the three who had been slaugthering the rookies, they were all elite and they knew they could have a good shot at defeating them, but they were veterans that had survived far worse situations, they knew what to avoid.

They finally reached their destination, the leader of the group checking some blueprints on his arm-datapad, smiling wickedly he gave the hand-sign to the others to get ready.

_________________________________________

Tsk..
Shut up, your annoying!

Ashira fired her gun in the direction of where she had last seen one of the images, she and the rest of the elites were briskly walking, their eyes searching rapidly for defense systems, they knew what this kind of AI could have waiting for them and they were not intending to fall into a trap.

We are closing on the core.. If the bitch is going to defend herself, it will be now.. Ready the EMP blasts.

The soldiers all readied their anti-electronic weapons and fell out in a spread formation as they got ready for whatever nasty was protecting the core.

________________________________________________

Chief..

In dark office far away from the fighting, a solemn man was standing before the prying eyes of a dragon, green eyes that shone like twin suns in the darkness, on the desk of the dragon stood a high-tech laptop, on its surface, images of the Phantom-corp tower was visible, information rapidly running down across the screen.

You called for me?

The man was visibly shaken, he was wearing a white lab-coat, obviously a researcher of trade he was not comfortable under the dangerous eyes of his boss.

We are losing men..

Said the dragon, his right hand tapping on the computer, causing screens to appear all over the room, lighting up the dark office, images from the SEU units were displayed on the screen, their hidden cameras showing a myriad of images.

Ah.. Well, it was expected wasen't it?
You sent the SEU afterall..

The Dragons eyes averted from the researcher, causing the man visible relief as his chiefs attention was drawn to the fighthing between to men, one of them notably the man Dante, one of the Co-leaders of Phantom corp.

I heard that a prototype weapon is stored on The Morgana.

Said the Dragon, his eyes continuing to peer at the screen.

Ah, that is true.. I was hoping to use the ship to test the weapon at Sea, not long after the current operations.. It would be a great opportunity to see if it wor-

We will use it now.. Interupted the Dragon, his voice rupturing the scientist words apart.

N-N-No-now?

Asked the scientist in disbelief.

It can be fired, can it not?

Asked the dragon.

Well, yes of course it can but its not been tested at such a scale before, we have no idea if it would work or not, it might even caus-

Test it..
Success or Failure, both will be favorable results.

There could be no arguing against this command.. The Scientist simply nodded and turned on his heel as he picked up his phone to make a very important call, leaving the Dragon to glare at his screens.

Psyren gazed upon the schematics presented to him. In his mind, there were many places he would choose to attack if he was the aggressor. Yet this one place clearly stood out on the map, a darkened out blob bearing the tag "Core".

"There, what is that place?" He inquired descisively. He had regained some muscular control of his right arm, and most of the bleeding has stopped by now, a clear sign of strong regenerative powers. Psyren himself did not know of this ofcourse, he had never damaged his body to this extent before and did not realize this recovery-speed was un-natural. He curled the fingers on his right hand, working them back and forth until his muscles and tendons began responding the way he wanted, and he managed to make a fist.

"Guess it was more painful then hurtful.. Tia, i might still be able to help." He said in a wierd tone, as if he wouldnt be sure of that statement until trying it out. He shifted his focus towards the hovering airship outside, and tried clearing his thoughts as he waited for Tia to proscess his inquiry. He assumed the "Core" was blacked out due to its contents being classified, but he still thought the question worth a shot.

He suddenly took note of how calm he had been despite everything that had happened. He was worried sick for Dante and his new friends, all he wanted was to locate the weakest point of the tower and guard it with his life. Despite his wish however, he knew his contribution to the battle would not amount to much unless he could get a clear shot at the Airship. From where he stood, he could fire without worrying about enemies engaging him in close-quarter combat. For an Artillery-type fullbringer, there was no better battlefield-position, and no better chance then now. One would think the earlyer failure wouldve discouraged him from trying to wield his own fullbring, but on the contrary, it had only served to fuel his burning desire to control it. In another whirling flash of Reiryoku, the cannon appeared on his right hand once more. Its sheer weight causing his wounded arm to hurt, he collapses to his knees and grunts loudly.

"Let's try it one more time.. less power, less charge, more control" He thought to himself, and once again searched deep within himself for that rising sensation of power. It was much easyer the third time, and he proceeded to steady his right arm with his left, propping it up against the floor. By this time, the cannon was audibly charging while letting out its signature high-pitched screech..

“You are right this room is too small for me...”

A dark blue beam exploded against the large fridge blasting into tiny pieces that scattered in all directions with Dante pulling himself out of the rubble that he had caused by being thrown back, his clothes had a faint aura radiating outwards from them as they gathered and focused the Reshi around him. his connection was still cut off from Tia so he couldn’t ask her to change the layout of the room which meant that he would either have to blast the room until the walls completely gave in or he would have to change the layout of the room himself.

“Of course the layout can easily be changed...code Dante manual override room expansion.”

The walls and floor began to shift with some walls sinking into others as they disappeared from sight and within a short space of time several of the rooms had been connected together creating one large room, the ceiling had been heightened as well no matter how you looked at it the room was now several times larger although still littered with items that were in the rooms as well as the dead bodies. With the battlefield increasing in size Dante had a slight smile on his face this was more suited to his ranged style more than the man’s close combat style however Dante knew the man was probably hiding something still.

“Now then...seal release level 2”

The amount of Reshi that Dante was gathering around his clothes had almost doubled instead of a soft blue color it was now a bright blue color, the guns that Dante was holding had also gained a blue X running down the sides of the barrels and they too began to glow a bright blue color as it darkened towards the end of the barrel with the release of the seal increasing the speed and which he gathered the Reshi around him. As well as glowing a much brighter color a humming noise had begun to come from Dante and his twin guns with what looked like two shots being fired towards Kudo it soon become clear that the two shots were in fact hundreds of bullets made from Reshi each one with enough power to rip through a person or hollows body.

_____________________________________

With the room covered in bloody golden wires the last of the soldiers fell to their deaths as the three of them gathered in the room, they had swept throughout the floors of the tower wiping out most if not all of the soldiers leaving only the higher more veteran like soldiers to deal with however it had taken much longer than they had wanted or expected, was it the sheer number of soldiers or was it that some of them didn’t take it seriously enough it was probably a bit of both.

“Tia please scan through the building and upload the locations of the last few soldiers.”

The soft tone of Kira didn’t seem suited to giving out orders or leading a group but with Dante being preoccupied or maybe even worse she had been the one that had taken control of the group, she was the next in command after all even if she didn’t like it. It took Tia a while to scan through the building for the remaining soldiers since she had taken quite a bit of damage and some of her systems were down or at least not working properly, still one by one the three of them got the locations of the soldiers that could be seen by the sensors inside the building.

___________________________________________

“It’s too late now...the world is heading towards...”

The way the figure spoke was not that of a hologram but of something else however before she could finish speaking her image slowly faded away as well as her words, she seemed to be some sort of spirit that had tried to warn them of some sort of danger that lay ahead of them or maybe it was a much graver warning that what simply lay beyond the door that they were approaching. The door itself was a large thick steel door with cold air continually sweeping throughout the area that they had just walked down. Soon a voice could be heard it was fully automated it had probably picked them up somehow or maybe it had picked the spirit of the woman that followed them either way the actual orders were not directed at anybody in particular.

“Name and access code or leave.”

As the voice stopped the sound of different weapons could be heard as the automated system got ready to defend itself, the weapons couldn’t be seen but because of the nature of the building and how advanced it was one could guess that it was some sort of highly advanced weaponry that most of the world had yet to see. One mistake and the entire group could very well be wiped out in a matter of seconds that was the sort of feeling one would get from the sound of the weapons clicking into place.

____________________________________

“The core is somewhere that I don’t really go or not that I know of at least however Dante has told me that it is the life of the building, without the core these towers would seize to function according to Dante.”

It was the first time Tia spoke about something that she didn’t have absolute knowledge and information on but from what she remembered about the building it sounded like it was an extremely important part of the tower. Tia looked down at what Psyren was trying to do it seemed his arm was not as bad as she first thought or perhaps it was the remarkable healing process that full bringers possessed, he seemed to be trying to fire another shot but was finding it harder which was something to be expected since he was fairly new to his powers.

“Focus and concentrate on gathering your power...you should feel when you are about to reach your current limit.”

Despite the situation they were in it seemed Psyren had decided to fight the best he could so instead of stopping him which would probably prove Futile Tia had adopted a different approach in that she would help guide him through the process of how his fullbring worked, unfortunately Tia had yet to fully analyse his fullbring and so could only gauge how it worked on what she had seen so far which led her to conclude that it was some sort of cannon at the moment.

_____________________________________________

Outside the towers and above the city giant thunder clouds had begun to gather the sky had darkened greatly in the space of several minutes with flashes of lightning spanning across the sky, occasionally the flashes of lightning would threaten to strike down on a building or the large ship in the sky. In the short space of time the wind in the area had also increased greatly from a gentle breeze to a powerful gust like a storm was beginning to gather, apart from the gathering storm the air had a mysterious feel, a presence that was there and yet wasn’t like it was breaking through from somewhere else.

“haha..It seems as though she really is coming...”

The figure that had been standing in the air above everything laughed as he looked up towards the storm, he didn’t care about what was going on below him instead his focus and attention was on something else even if it couldn’t be seen yet. His clothes were blowing around wildly as was his hair however other than that it seemed like he wasn’t really affected by the powerful storm that was only growing in size and power.

“I see...he has already awakened you then.”

The voice came from behind the figure of the man as the same woman that was just with the group appeared before him, he had stopped laughing with a fiery look appearing in his eyes it was a look of anger and rage, with a smile forming on his lips it wasn’t a happy smile nor a sinister one instead it was a confident smile.

“A while ago and don’t worry he is already coming here.”

Ikuso!

The Roof covering the heads of the people that had saught refuge in the safe part of the tower exploded as heavy armored soldiers dropped into their midst, the sound of clackering gunfire echoed through the room, defeaning out the screams of the innocent as they desperatly attempted to escape, however the aim of the ferocity of the soldiers were too great and they were soon cut down to the last.

They are coming!

Roared one of the soldiers to the leading officer, he was of course talking about the monsters that had murdered the newbies, the veterans knew when to fight and when to not and this was a clear case of NOT, so without hesitation the leading officer called for a retreat, the soldiers rushed over to the nearest walls, grenades launched by the thrower underslung beneath their rifles leading the way, blowing a holes in which the soldiers used to leap out and into the dark cold night, leaving the massacre behind.

___________________________________________

Kudo only barly managed to escape the blast, his radio crackled to life and he knew instantly that his soldiers had achived their task, his distraction had been succesfull. He grinned wickedly but also fearfully, this dante was someone he knew he could not contend with anymore, maybe even if he actually used his fullbring, though he would not take that chance.

Without sermon or pause he rushed over to the nearest window and used his body to break his way through the glass, causing him to start falling into the void of the night.

If Dante planned to pursue, he was stopped from doing so as a probe like flying device came scooting in through the broken window kudo had left, the thing was silverly, highely advanced and also strangely cute, however when it approached him a loud buzzing sound alarmed him that something was up, and then suddenly a light appeared from within its core and soon he was confronted by the man himself, the Dragon of Raven Corp, Mitsuteri Hakushi.

The mans serious expression, similar to all the posters, were what he was seeing on the hologram that had presented itself to him.

You have gone too far.

He started without bothering for useless formalities.

I would have turned a blind eye, but your actions against the Trinity has moved beyond what I can choose to ignore.

The mans expression turned dark as he continued.

You will cease all actions against the F-Laws and the Trinity aswell as delivering unto us all the Criminals which we know you are harboring, if not these childish skirmishes we have been having will cease, it will be war. Do you understand the meaning that this holds?

Your Corporation is wealthy, enough to rival that of my own, and yes, your power is considerable, but do you really imagine that you can truly stand a chance against me?

He pressed the last words, and rightfully so, Raven Corp had been listed as the top influencal corporation in the world, their private army the largest fielded by a non-goverment leadership, presidents, prime ministers, world leaders, were all people within the raven corps range of influence.

A War will be the end of you and your corporation in the real world, and trust me when I say that you may think that you have an advantage in the world of the dead, the world of the fullbring and quincy, our common underworld, but you are wrong.. And will be proven wrong if you continue with your misguided endevours.

Cease risking the lives and peace of our communities and agree to my terms or face the consequence of your actions.

Just like Tia said, the feeling of reaching his limit was now very much familiar to him due to having failed twice. He made sure not to exeed that limit, and braced himself to fire.

The first round exited the barrel perfectly, in a dazzling display of raw reishi in its purest form. As it left the barrel, the compressed reishi expanded in size until it was the size of a basketball, and spun towards the flying ship. In rapid succession, two more rounds were released into the night-sky. His knees skid back into the room from the powerful recoil, breaking the floor-tiles by sheer downward force, and the pain from earlyer returned in full as he let out a short yelp. Psy had again overshot his own limit, but found a workaround for it. Instead of letting everything go off in one big explosion like the last times, he periodicly released it at the very threshold of his own limit, resulting in a burst of 3 weaker shots instead of the powerful ordnance that had cut a hollow in half a few days earlyer. Alone, these things wouldnt do nearly the damage of their predescessors. But should he hit with all 3 rounds, the force would be roughly the same.

He dissolved the fullbring, allowing the cannon to burst into a cloud of reishi reforming back into the actionfigure he so loved. Clutching his shoulder, he turned his gaze into the night-sky where the three balls of reishi had nearly closed the distance to the airship.

"I did it! Tia, i can control it now!" he said excited, still tracking the flying ordnance with his eyes. He caught himself saying an internal prayer for the chance that they would hit, and cause enough damage to impact the flow of the battle. It would do little good, after all, if all he did was piss in a beehive. He needed the hive down, or on the run, and left the results of his artillery-strike against the airship in the hands of fate as he eagerly awaited the impact.

Several minutes had passed since the storm had formed above the city with it becoming a deep dark black color, the light being blocked out from the city below it with the stormy sky threatening to swallow the city whole or so it seemed with its monstrously powerful winds mixed with the surging strikes of lightning. Houses and buildings were being reduced to nothing by the powerful gusts of winds while others were burning from the lightning that had crashed down upon them, the flames from the burning buildings serving to light up the city that was shrouded in the darkness from the skies, one thing was clear to anybody that had experience or the ability to monitor the changes in the weather and that was that the storm above the city was far from being natural.

“Don’t you get it! We are watchers and our time passed this is no longer our world!”

The girl screamed at the man as they engaged in what could only be described as a heated debate with him screaming back as flames slowly began to build up around him patience wasn’t something he was exactly blessed with and he had only actually came to see the fighting for himself, with a raise of his hand a powerful stream of deep red flames threatened to engulf to woman that he was arguing with. The flames spreading outwards the further they got from him, the heat alone was enough to turn most things to ash with the woman seemingly frozen in fear or by the surprise attack at least.

“What are you doing here? Forget it return home now...”

A man’s hand came out of a portal just before the flames stopping them instantly as they faded into nothing with his gaze being focused on the man before him; his tone was cold and void of all emotions with perhaps the smallest hint of anger at the appearance of the man. The man nodded with a thin layer of sweat running down the back of his neck before quickly disappearing back into a portal similar to the one that he had used to come to the area, the flames from the portal or gateway that the man created lingering in the air for a few seconds before gradually fading away until the sky became dark once more. The woman that was shouting at the other man had backed away slightly the look on her face being that of both shock and fear as if she was looking directly at a ghost, words becoming stuck in the back of her throat as her lips quivered a small treacle of blood running down her chin as her teeth sunk into her lower lip, until she vanished from the spot where she was standing a flash of light and a trail of afterimages being left in her wake as she closed in on the figure her blade ready to be drawn and sliced through his body ending his very life, was it from fear that she was attacking him or was it for the fear of the future...

“Not here and not yet...mother.”

The figure simply spoke as her blade came into contact with his arm a flash of crackling energy spreading out from under the blade stopping her attack before even reaching him, before she could retreat or even think they were both gone with a portal closing behind them and the storm gradually starting to fade away with the sky returning back to normal, the clouds separating and gradually becoming nothing once more with the city seemingly returning back to normal.

_________________________________________________

With Kudo escaping Dante wasn’t going to bother chasing him it was a pointless task and they would more than likely meet again sooner or later, but he had proved to be a rather interesting person with his strength being rather challenging something Dante had not experienced for a while. Not that Dante had much choice but stay around with a flying orb coming back through the window; he didn’t bother to cover himself in case of an explosion if he had understood Kudo then he would want to finish off a fight with his own hands instead of using a cheap trick.

“You are the one that is causing this to become a war with your constant attacks is it not?”

Dante walked away from the hologram slightly as the glowing Reshi died down with the seals limiting his power once again, the guns that he had held also disappeared in a bright flash of light as Dante cleared off some rubble from what was left of a desk and sat down on it facing the hologram once again.

“But you are right if we went to war it would end up with us losing in the end...but would there really be a winner at the end of all this?”

Dante sighed slightly clearly despite his strength it was clear that he despised needless battles and the thought of a large scale war was something that he wanted to avoid, the amount of lives that would be lost would be beyond anything that had ever been witnessed before.

_______________________________________________________

Tia was truly surprised that Psyren had begun to master his fullbring at such a rate although he had caused himself some damage he was still able to use it and had even figured a way around using too much power at once. Despite him learning to control his fullbring better he was still in too much pain to do much else now and if he carried on pushing himself the danger was that he might end up losing all the usage of his entire arm...including his fullbring.

“I’m surprised...your evolving so fast. Maybe it is true that you learn more in actual combat rather than studying.”

Tia smiled like a mother being proud of a child and yet at the same time the smile held some concern in it for his well being, Tia had learned enough about Psyren and now knew the best way to advance him and his fullbring, it was going to be harder on his body and probably much more painful than the way she was originally going to do it but the results would be a lot faster and perhaps even better.

“You should rest now before you do any lasting damage and this battle is about to come to an end it seems...”

My "constant" attacks were ment to send you a message, your continued defiance have forced my hand to deliver you this Ultimatum,.

The hologram seemed to loosen up, the serious expression still there, but a light of hope seemed to spread between them as he nodded deeply to the last thing Dante said.

It is good that you understand your situation, I can respect you for that, and I am sure this is something you believe in strongly, and out of respect for that as-well I will be willing to negotiate the terms.
----------
Meanwhile the Morgana was holding up in the athompshere far above them, lingering peacefully in the sky as the battle seemed to calm down, the pilots had been waiting in the sky for the command to fire or shut down the experimental device, the thing humming with energy, the thing was that while they waited their shields were down, a requirement for firing the device, something that left them quite nervous, which they tried to cover by simple chit-chat.

Pilot 1: Seems like Kudo and his best got out again..
Pilot 2: Not even a single newbie survived this time.
Pilot 1: Wanna bet if the bitch will survive aswell?
Pilot 2: Betting on anything but her survival is a fools errand, that girl is even more of a cockroach than Kudo and his boys are..
Pilot 1: Hehehe, true..

The second pilot was about to continue with a follow-up when a red alarm suddenly started glowing hot red, an automatic display appeared, revealing the incoming energy shots.

Pilot 1: Where the hell did those come from!?
Pilot 2: Why the fuck now!? Performing emergency manouvers!

The two pilots frantically worked in order to get the Morgana out of the way for the incoming missiles, however the ship was a slow moving beast when it came to turning, and despite their best efforts they did not manage to move the ship into safety before the first energy shot hit the metal bulk of the Morgana, causing a large explosion that send the ship rocking to the side, the entire thing shaking terribly, the metal bones screeching as they struggled to keep the ship together.

Pilot 1: Shit..! We won't take many more of those, divert the power from the experimental device back into the shield!
Pilot 2: But our orders!?
Pilot 1 Fuck the orders!!!

However it was to late for the moment the pilot started working, another hit the ship, the results were catastrophic, the ship shook as many of its bones were cracked, small fires erupted all around the interior of the ship, its stealth field failed completely, revealing its gigantic bulk floating in the sky.

AI: Critical Damage Sustained to all systems, flight systems still operational, but failing, core overheating, require shut-down of all unnecessary systems.

Pilot 1: Damn, one more and we can rename ourselves fried-laws"..! Check if the shields generators are still working, if we can get them up we can get out of here and.. Kansha? Are you listening? Kansha!?

There was no response, turning around to look for his co-pilot he found only the girls head resting peacefully on her keyboard, a pool of blood spreading out amongst the keys, the girls hands dangling limply down towards the floor. The pilots eyes went wide with horror, forgetting all about his duties he got out of his chair and rushed to the girls side, faintly hoping that she was still alive, but as the pilot desperatly tried to get life back into the girl he had one day hoped to marry, another energy bolt hit the dying Morgana, kicking the poor ship over the edge.

AI: Experimental Device overheating due to core imminent implosion, recommending emergency evacuation.

War can be avoided, but only if you start obeying the Trinity, if you can atleast agree to this, then we can surly find a way to solve this conflict before it gets out of hand.

Dante nodded slightly as he listened to the man, the constant attacks had taken a fair few lives but at the same time if either side wanted they could have probably caused far more destruction.

“We understand the terms and very rarely have gone against them...power in this world at the moment needs to be controlled unfortunately.”

Dante was more relaxed despite the fact they were just attacked however he still held that serious tone representing just how serious the current situation was. Unlike many Dante wasn’t the type to hold hatred for a person and so even if the person he was talking to had declared numerous attacks on Dante and his family he still didn’t harbour much ill will towards him or his company.

“but I won’t lie there are members that have perhaps broken your rules since we allow people into our family even if they have broken your rules...however most are not bad people and share the same dream for a new world.”

"Yes!! Tia, i did it! I..." He said, stopping his own celebration abruptly due to an alarming sight. As the rounds hit the airship clean one by one, the reishi they were composed of didnt disperse. In fact, the particles seemed to hang in the air, changing color from blue to yellow-ish, before suddenly splitting into rays that begun speeding back towards Psyren. Did they deflect it? He didnt know, but nevertheless turned around and started running for his life. If they did that much damage on the ship, he could only dread what they would do when they came back for him.

"What the hell is going on!?!?" He shouted, confused, believing his own fullbring to have turned against him.
With a crash, the beams of yellow reishi punched through the walls that were un-harmed to reach him. In this critical moment, he overstepped his leap and twisted his ancle. Turning around, it was as if time stood still, the beams were half a second from reducing him to dust when his focus re-activated in an instant. Without his brain sending any commands to his muscles, the cannon pulled Psyrens arm until it was stretched out in the direction of the beams. Psyren closed his eyes waiting for the end..

What happened, would forever change him at a fundamental level. Instead of death, and mutilation, he felt an utterly intense surge of power within. Opening his eyes, the beams of light were rushing back into the barrel of the cannon which was now radiating a spectacle of light until it had sucked up every bit of the yellow reishi-beams. As it did, the cannon turned yellow, the same yellow tint that the beams had, and a feeling of a different kind of power swelled within him. He was calm now, calmer then he had been in a while, and stood up as the energies settled within him. With the wind rushing through the perforated walls, they ripped across him, removing dust from his hair and clothes making it appear as if the entire human was emenating smoke.

There was no doubt, no hesitation, somehow he knew exactly what just happened. He looked at the cannon on his right arm, now yellow.
"So thats how it works... a-amazing..." He said out loud. The feeling was amazing, and confusing at the same time. Somehow, deep within his heart, he now knew the exact molecular build-up of the ships alloys and metals. But that wasnt the best part even. In addition, he knew, he could feel it clear as day; the cannon had switched out its munitions to something much much more effective against armored targets. Putting everything he now felt and knew together, he came to a simple conclusion that was so strange and ridiculous he almost laughed at the very thought of it.

Its... its been adapted into an Armor-Piercing munitionsystem..

Amazing! It absorbs information on what it hits in realtime, and adapts to the most effective ammunition for that spesific target! I wonder if...
He thought, and as the thought struck him, the cannon quickly switched color back to the original blue. His face lit up in a wide smile of pure joy.
"I was right! It records it, and i can switch it out whenever i want! i.. i wish my father could've seen this, he would've shouted his lungs out with pride!" He said, turning to Tia with a smile. The smile remained for a second or two before reality sunk in, and his face took on a more serious expression.

Hakushi smiled diplomatically, he reached out a hand as a gesture of understanding as he spoke

As I said, I will allow you to keep the felons you have been hiding, but a promise has to be made, Your group have aktivly been breaching the Trinity, giving criminals, and potential breachers the idea that they can get away with it.

But, as long as you are willing to negotiate I am sure we can find a peaceful solu- His voice was drowned out by a sudden explosion, the sky was light up by the birth of a second sun, the air broke and the sky collapsed upon itself as a ring of shockwaves started blasting across the heavens, hitting the skyscrapers like hammers, shaking the building to the core.

The Morgana..

Said Hakushi, his eyes slowly turning sharper as a fury seemed to build up within his otherwise cold expression.

I See.. So War it is then.

The Hologram flickered and vanished, but not because Hakushi chose to, but due to the second shockwave which was not caused by the explosion, but something else entirely, like a faint black wave, a sea of electronic darkness bellowed out over the city, and block by blcok the lights went out, the darkness broke its way into the electronic lines and spread like a virus, and eventually the entire city was a dark pool of nothing, every electric based device shut down, even things that were not connected to a cable was disable, or even destroyed.

But it was a hungry force and it drove further beyond the city, outlaying towns and the like also went black, huge power stations simply died, everywhere chaos erupted as everything that held the society together ceased to function, before the night was over, thousands would be dead.

----------------------------

Back in Tokyo, Hakushi monitored his screen for new information that was rapidly coming in through one of his satellites. So this is the potency of the experimental device "blackout".. It is unfortunate that it had to be accidently triggered in such a way..

But, this does bring opportunities..

His finger lightly tapped a button that was built into his desk, and quickly after pressing it, the voice of his secretery filled the dark space.

Secretary: What can I do for you sir?
Hakushi: Call the president of the united nations, I have something I wish to discuss with him.

Dante smiled it seemed that they would be able to get along and hopefully reach an agreement that would see the end to all of the pointless fights, everything was going great even the man he had heard much about seemed to understand that war was something that should be avoided if possible but then something happened, explosions not too far from Dante could be heard it wasn’t anything to do with him but was the fighting still raging on although he was sure that the members had retreated. Turning his attention back towards the hologram he could see that the man’s expression had changed it was one filled with fury and anger.

“War...what do you mean?”

Dante had been caught by surprise with the sudden announcement that they would be engaging in all out war which could only mean that they would fight to destroy each other completely, the hologram had vanished before Dante could ask the man anything instead he could only see the black sky and the lights dying out from the city it was the same inside their own tower the power failure obviously being linked to whatever was in the sky, Dante had no time to waist and so quickly left the room moving to the centre of the top floor where the main room of the headquarters was located he knew that was where the other members of his team would meet up after they had finished their tasks.

“God dammit...you better have prepared for this you old bastard...and a bit of back up would be appreciated!”

Dante yelled and sighed as he made his way up the stairs towards the top floor quickly his hands running along the sides of the clear white walls each time he reached the end of the staircase his hand would reach out grabbing the staircase as he pulled himself around allowing him to change direction and quickly pass up to the next flight of stairs without losing much speed, his body had taken a bit of beating in his fight with the brute of a man but it wasn’t anything serious probably just a few bruises at most thanks to the clothing and Reshi that he wore during the fight. It didn’t take him long to reach the top floor lucky enough for him the fight he was involved in was only a few levels down, running along the passageway Dante pushed the doors open seeing as the building had lost power thanks to the black thing in the sky. As Dante swung the door open he could see all of the people that were in his group not had died in the battle and none of them had any injuries which was a good thing seeing as it seemed they would need as much strength as they could get, looking around the room further he could see Psyren although he seemed to be pretty beaten up and this could only cause Dante to shake his head clearly he had not followed the orders he was given but what was done was done no point in worrying about it and besides the boy had lived.

“I see we are all here and in fairly good shape now th...”

Clenching his hands slightly Dante let out a sigh as he looked at the back corner of the room where a figure emerged from the shadows, the figure had short brown hair with a long white jacket like what a rich powerful noble or somebody higher up would wear with the parts of his body that could be seen being covered by a silver like armour. The figure had a smile on his face despite the situation, this made the 3 others in the room beyond angry as they flung themselves to the figure each one aiming to land a good solid hit against him. With all three of them closing in the figure looked towards Dante like he didn’t even acknowledge the others who were now sent flying backwards in the direction that they had come from the air around the figure acting like shockwave as he let out a sigh and shook his head.

“I see you got yourself into a slight mess...baaaaaka.”

The figure smiled as he stepped into the centre of the room while the others picked themselves back up off the floor he didn’t look much older than 18 years old but clearly he was on a different level to the others, Psyren had caught his attention as he made his way over to the boy it was more like the injury had caught his attention than the boy himself although it could also be that he had seen his fullbring take down the ship in the sky that had since caused the black thing to appear. Pressing the tip of his finger slightly into Psyrens arm the cells in his body had begun to accelerate rapidly beyond what was normal with the healing abilities of the body mainly being boosted until Psyren could feel that his arm was pretty much fully healed and ready to go again. It was at this time that Dante had waved his hand to the others to stop any pointless fighting it didn’t seem like they hated each other but more like a rivalry of some sort although the boy didn’t really acknowledge the power of the others but Dante he seemed to respect a bit more as he stopped to listen to him as Dante motioned his hand to speak.

“Accelerator, why didn’t you step in before and why are you here now?”
“You heard it right? F-laws have declared war on us so he has given us permission to finally move ...my partner is also here.”

Just as accelerator spoke the towers went much darker for a few moments before the lights and power slowly started to turn back on and Tia formed back in the room once more, the buildings had been shifted into a void dimension although they were still in the same place in the city it was just that they had been cut off from that dimension. Dante though seemed more shocked and afraid of the words that accelerator had spoken as he clenched his hands turning them into fists the thought of them being given permission could only mean that an all out war was about to truly begin and that the world or maybe worse would be ripped apart it was the one thing he wanted to avoid at all costs although it truly seemed impossible now. Outside of the towers and in the city and the area around it barriers had began to form sealing the darkness inside for now or however long they would be able to hold it whatever was happening seemed to only have one goal in mind and that was to buy time, the barriers themselves would probably give way within a few minutes.

Psy, still ignorant of the wardecleration his actions had caused, could only smile with pride of what he had accomplished when dante entered the room. There was a hint of relief in that same smile, relief that his benefactor was still alive and mostly whole.
He was about to blurt out a victory ramble to tell him about his success in taking down the ship, when the figure approaching from the corner of the room grabbed his attention.

Witnessing the stranger sending three attackers on a date with the walls, he naturally tensed up as the lone wolf approached him. He nearly lashed out with a strike towards the strangers head when he put his finger on his arm, but the immediate sensation of health and vitality that hit him made him quell his panic-reaction. He could almost feel the musclefibers in his arm stretch and connect to eachother, healing at an alarming rate.

He witnessed the exchange of words between the figure he now knew as accelerator and dante, and was immediately relieved when he saw Tia return. Then the expression on Dantes face became a beacon of fear within psy, and he turned towards Accelerator once again, trying to measure the worth and purpose of the strange lad that had healed him. He shook it off and once again turned back to Dante and his bewildered expression as he heard about the war.

"What happens now?" He inquired carefully, sensing the tension in the room and attempting to put some ice on the hot air between dante and the healing boy.

As Psyren spoke accelerator had turned to face him again with the others now moving to the side of Dante they seemed different a lot more serious after hearing what accelerator had said with their faces also having a slight look of fear although still it was nothing like the fear on Dantes face with the color being drained from him, then again what Dante was feeling wasn’t fear but something far worse it was the feeling and acknowledgment of the amount of lives that were about to be lost in the coming war. With Dante regaining his composure the color of his skin returned as he waited and watched accelerator who was now eying up Psyren, although still the leader of the section it seemed the boy called accelerator was even a higher rank than him and by the sounds of it he was working directly under the mysterious figure that was head of everything to do with Phantom Corp.

“Psyren be proud you will forever be known as the boy that fired the first shots of the coming war that will change the world forever...”

Unlike the others in the room accelerator seemed rather amused and happy that the war had begun but more importantly the way he spoke and knew of Psyren made it seem as if he had been watching him for a while or at least long enough to know Psyren was the one that shot down the giant ship in the sky releasing whatever the darkness was. His attention was soon turned towards the others all the time thoughts and battle plans were running through his head, the same things were running through Dantes but it was clear that Dante had not prepared for a war so soon and that Psyren had certainly tossed a wrench into the plans that Dante had laid out or perhaps it was plans that the mysterious head had laid out although whoever was the one behind the group seemed to adapt to the situation fast. For the first time since accelerator had entered the room Dante had raised his voice bringing the attention back to him and away from the boy this though caused the boy to have an uncanny playful like smile clearly amused at how Dante had spoken up.

“Seems we can’t avoid this war but we must protect this tower...although from that darkness I don’t know how we can do that yet...what about you Tia?”
“Sorry Dante but currently I have no idea what that darkness is or does but it seems to be draining all the energy away from everything.”
“This is...”

Midway through the discussion Dante found himself cut off it wasn’t by the boy called accelerator in fact nobody had spoken and they were all listening to what Dante was saying instead it was a rift behind Dante that had cut him off, it was dark so dark that nothing inside could be seen similar to the type of darkness from a black hole in that as much as you looked you could see nothing, soon the clothes of the people in the room could feel a strong pull against them with the bottoms of the jackets lifting up in the direction of the rift with the force of the pull growing stronger and stronger it was a matter of seconds before they had all been sucked up into the darkness of the rift leaving Tia behind. Inside the rift all they could see was nothing but emptiness as far as they looked it was darkness void of all life but them and they could feel a strange feeling as if time had warped or frozen around them while they were in the darkness time itself seemed to no longer exist and what could have possibly felt like seconds or even minutes to the people in the rift on the outside world no time at all had passed as they reappeared at the centre of the city with the rift closing up behind them. Waiting for them was a rather large man probably twice the size of an ordinary man and he looked well built physically and at the same time much older probably his mid thirties, along the right side of his face he had a large scar running from just under his eye to above it luckily enough it seemed whatever had cut him in the past had missed his eye. As Dante and the others looked back over towards the tower they could see that it no longer existed or at least it no longer existed in this world with a portal closing up around the last bit of the tower as it vanished from sight, the area around it was empty like the tower had been devoured from the very earth itself it was at this time that Dante let out a large sigh he didn’t need the large man behind him to speak or even tell him his name since he already knew it and it had confirmed his worst fears...the war had truly begun...

“Zenkai...”

Dante whispered nothing but the man’s name although the tone of the way he said it spoke volumes of how Dante felt, he had accepted that there was no going back anymore the war that had been building up could no longer be stopped.

"Zenkai?" Psyren inquired. "What is that?"

Psyren didnt know this boy Accellerator, but he knew that despite healing his arm he didnt like him. There was something Off about him that he couldnt put his finger on, but found reassurance in the fact that Dante knew him and would probably not let him wander around if he was dangerous or hostile.
