Killer: Spirit of the Past (REWRITE)

Chapter 9

Following the note left behind at the bar a few days back, Shinigami goes to the warehouse to finally finish his mission.

Shinigami: This is the place.

He gets out of the car and readies his gear.

Shinigami: Dramatic entrance.

~***~

Cappuccino Thug: Man, I hate this job. It's so freaking boring. All we do is sit around and drink beer.

Cappuccino Thug #2: Are you kidding me? This is my dream job!

Cappuccino Thug: Hey! We're not supposed to be sitting around drinking beer. Remember what Vegan said? He said we got to move all those crates by morning. If the cops find this stuff, we are screwed.

Cappuccino Thug #4: Where are we supposed to move them?

Cappuccino Thug: I don't know. I didn't really listen to that part.

Cappuccino Thug #3: Hey, give me another beer.

Cappuccino Thug #4: Oh here, have mine. I shouldn't drink anymore. (sniff/cough) I have a really bad cold.

Cappuccino Thug #3: All right! Wait... is this a low carb beer?

Cappuccino Thug: Hey, speaking of beer... Did you guys hear what happened at the party a few weeks ago? Some dude went in there, and killed everyone. He even killed Cappuccino's nephew.

Cappuccino Thug #3: Geez... Who was this guy that killed everyone? Is he someone I should be worried about?

Cappuccino Thug: Nah. He's probably just some crazed lunatic, running around with lots of guns. You know, besides villains and Quirkism, that's the problem with any country. Too many crazed lunatics with guns. Ain't that right, baby? (kisses revolver)

Cappuccino Thug #3: The lunatics aren't problem. The real problem is the guns. What countries need is some serious gun control. I mean, we need to take away all the guns. All of them! And just get rid of them! (pulls assault rifle closer) But not my gun.

Shinigami does a dramatic entrance by dropping in from the ceiling window. Landing on top of the table which alerted the four thugs.

Shinigami: Ohhh! Ow!

He removes the glass shards out of his boot. The shards coming from the beer bottle that he landed on.

Cappuccino Thug: Man, you dropped into the wrong place.

He dodges out of the way of a bullet then proceeds to take out the thugs. 

He does a back spin and kills the three before stopping in front of the remaining thug.

Cappuccino Thug: Looks like what we got here is a standoff.

He just shoots him.

Shinigami: Not really.

Cappuccino Thug #6: Over there!

More thugs came in and opened fire. Shinigami flipped the table over and used it as a shield. He fired back and took out a majority of them.

Cappuccino Thug #8: Take cover!

Some hid behind the shelves while others were killed.

Cappuccino Thug #8: Call the boss! Get some help!

~***~

Vegan stared at the window before receiving a call.

Vegan: Hello.

Cappuccino Thug: Vegan! We're being attacked. I think it's Killer 7!

Vegan: How do you know?

Cappuccino Thug: Well... He's killing everyone!

Vegan: We're sending in the mercenaries. Just hold tight.

~***~

Shinigami reloads and spots some grenades that was laying around.

Cappuccino Thug #8: Keep firing! Don't let up!

A grenade was thrown and landed right beside his foot.

Cappuccino Thug #8: Grenade!

Shinigami moves from his hiding spot and kills off the rest. 

~***~

Meanwhile outside Tsukauchi and several heroes and police watched from the rooftop of a nearby building. Their attention switched as a armored tank crashes into the building.

~***~

A tank crashes in and 11 mercenaries exited the armored vehicle, armed to the bone with guns. Their captain stood in front while looking at the carnage that was created.

Mercenary Captain: I can see we came to the right place. You made short work of these men. (spits cigarette) Don't expect the same fight from us. My squad have been with me through hell. I hand selected them myself from the Academy ten years ago. All of them graduated with top honors. I led these men through three tours of duty, accumulating a total of 15 Medals of Honor, 11 Purple Hearts. Sure, we lost a few good men... But you should see what we did to the other bloke.

Mercenaries: (laughs)

Shinigami look uninterested with their backstory.

Mercenary Captain: Well, then we went into business for ourselves. Escort details for high-level dignitaries, hostage extraction, corporate assassinations, preemptive surgical strikes, or just plain search and destroy. Heck, we even robbed a few federal banks when business was slow. So... this little shindig we got here... Oh, it's nothing. It's just a walk in the park.

Still was unimpressed.

Mercenary Captain: Are you going to say something or what?

Shinigami: Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. I must've totally zoned out on you. Whoa, my eyes starting to water. Whoo! Sorry. Let's make one thing clear. Few weeks ago was a party. Tonight, I get to work!

The mercenaries opened fire, but the assassin dodges and kills them off one by one. Even when one came in with a rocket launcher and a gun turret.

Shinigami: Decaffeinated.

However, he could see more coming in on motorcycles. He grabs one of the mercenary's weapon and starts shooting, but was soon knocked out by an explosion caused by Vegan.

~***~

Cromwell: Oh well. It was worth a try.

Policeman: Are we going to leave him there?

Cromwell: For now, all we could do is wait.

~***~

Outside the apartment complex, Ochako rings the doorbell and waits. The door opens as Chizuru answering.

Chizuru: Yes? Can I help you?

Ochako: Yes actually. Can you help me with something?

Chizuru: Alright. Please come in.

Ochako enters and secretly takes out a knife. A crazed smile forming on her face. Appearing behind her were Shoto, Bakugo and Izumi.
