Human- Osamu Dazai ✔

Mission

Zero went over the details of their next job with Dazai and Atsushi. The three of them would locate the shape-shifting bomber and bring them down.

Zero and Atsushi would be offense and Dazai would be on the defensive side.

"Ranpo will fill us in on the location when...he's done eating his snacks, " Zero glanced over at the childish brown haired man who had his hands buried in a bag of chips.

"Eh?" Ranpo looked up and stuffed a chip into his mouth,"What do you need?"

"Location Ranpo. Location," Zero let out a sigh and closed his case folder. He handed it over to Ranpo and let him sift through it.

"Abandoned warehouse three streets down," Ranpo yawned and shut the folder,"You couldn't figure that out yourself?"

Zero's eye twitched and he took the folder back,"Thanks...Ranpo. Let's go Dazai, Atsushi. " He nodded to them and then walked out of the room. Once outside he stopped a taxi and glanced back at the others who were following behind.

"I don't like this..." Atsushi mumbled as they stood in front of the warehouse. He was nervous and on edge.

Zero agreed with him but said nothing. He approached the worn out door and opened it carefully, knowing that if something was wrong Dazai would stop him.

Zero sensed the danger before Dazai could. As the door opened he saw someone standing inside and quickly dodged to the right.

Atsushi's eyes winded at the sight of what had targeted Zero,"Akutagawa!"

They heard a voice from inside. It sounded annoyed and full of hatred,"Weretiger."

Zero relaxed. It was only Ryuunosuke Akutagawa from the Port Mafia. He wasn't that much of a threat to Zero or Dazai for that matter.

Atsushi walked inside to face Akutagawa, Zero and Dazai following behind.

"Akutagawa! It's been a while. How are you?" Dazai smiled at the Port Mafia member. It was no smile of sincerity and seemed to be a more mocking tone.

"Be quiet, Dazai. Why are you here?" His voice was laced with venom.

"Same as you. An annoying shape-shifting bomber has been disrupting things between both of our organizations. That just come to an end," Dazai spoke as he glanced around the open room,"I presume there are many bombs around this very room."

Zero turned to Dazai,"Repeat that for me...?"

He didn't repeat it.

"Oh Mr. Bomber! Come out, come out!" Dazai turned around in a circle until he was facing Atsushi. He pointed his gun at his colleague,"Found you."

Both Zero and Akutagawa looked very confused,"Huh?"

"I talked to Atsushi this morning. He wasn't feeling well and stayed home today with Kyouka. You, are a fake. It was quite easy to tell. Atsushi has green and purple eyes. Yours are fully green," Dazai let a grin spread across his face, "Am I correct?"

Dazai tapped one finger on his gun, a signal only Zero understood.

The white haired man ran forward and retrained the fake Atsushi,"Nice to meet you."

Akutagawa summoned Rashomon and was about to kill the fake before Dazai stopped him,"Ah ah, we can't solve everything by killing, Akutagawa."

Zero made a face, as did Akutagawa. "You cannot be talking," they both said in unison

He pouted,"Rude."

The fake Atsushi attempted to reach into his pocket, only to earn a sharp tug from Zero. "Don't. Move."

Dazai lowered the gun,"How many bombs are inside here?"

"None," He grinned and shifted back into his normal form. A man with black hair and green eyes.

Zero turned around to see a red dot on Dazai's back.

A sniper, targeting Osamu Dazai.

"DAZAI!" Zero activated his ability and jumped behind Dazai. A shield closed in around the both of them, leaving Akutagawa outside.

He scoffed and killed the shape-shifter with one strike of Rashomon.

The snipers bullet didn't bounce off the shield, it shattered it and ripped through Zero's side.

"Fucking shit!" Zero fell to his knees and clutched his side.

More gun shots sounded from different parts of the warehouse. It was a trap.

They had been lured in here to be slaughtered like sheep.

Zero looked to Akutagawa, "Get out of here. It's not safe!"

He didn't hesitate to exit the scene, running out swiftly while using Rashomon to block any bullets.

Zero formed another shield, desperately trying to protect himself and Dazai.

He didn't know how long it would last.
