*BANG*
*BANG*

"He-He's too stro- GAHHH!!"

"We need backu-" *BANG* "AGHHH!!"

"Aren't you a member of Rhodes Island?! Weren't you supposed to help the infected?!" The Reunion Member asked.

"I would." I said looking away. Then i followed.. "If i was my old self that is." *BANG*A perfect headshot.

Then 10 members jumped onto me, coming at me with their swords and guns. They we're about to hit me but, who am i kidding i have time control.

"Time Alter, Accelerate."

The movements of these members became slow. So i shot a few rounds onto a few members. Then i swapped my Glock-19 with a Silenced Mac-10 with a customized 53rnd Drum Magazine.

By the time i return back the time to it's original speed, every member dropped down like a rock. Bullets filled their clothings.

"Why..did you do this..?" The last remaining Reunion member asked.

"Why?" I repeated. I looked up and remember how much the world punched me in the guts. Giving me this cruel life i've got. "Because..im tired being the nice guy." I said before shooting the guy right in the skull.

*BANG*

"Guess im finished here."

[ 3rd Person POV ]

Meanwhile at the LGD Tower..

Kal'tsit, Wei, and Ch'en we're looking at Cos's performance in battle. Ch'en felt like she was gonna throw up anytime soon. Wei and Kal'tsit just looked in disgust at how he didn't gave any mercy and straight up shot them right in the skull, where sometimes, some brain pieces could be seen spewing out from the head.

"So, Kal'tsit." Cos said. He then looked onto the camera Kal'tsit used to see his performance. "Am i still the old friend you used to know?"

Kal'tsit cannot answer. Even tho she can she cannot say anything. How did the person she knew to be one of the kindest to be this..merciless..

Cos returned back to the LGD. Headed straight for Wei's office. Ch'en saw Cos coming into the room and grabbed him by the collar instantly.

"You!!, You could've showed mercy to them!!" Ch'en furiously said out loud. Making everyone look onto them.

"...." Cos didn't respond. "We can get ourself some information out of them! Why did you kill them!?"

No response was given by Cos. Ch'en just angrily gave up. And went onto the interrogation room where one Reunion member was kept locked in.

"Outstanding performance. Mr.Chrono." Wei said Cos's real name. "I also have a task for you. We can't really exert the informations this member we detained. They sealed their mouth shut."

"And, what do i have to do?" Cos coldly asked in a non-living tone.

"Extract the information. You can use any tactics you need to extract the info they have. The mens will be under my direction so if Miss.Ch'en or Miss.Swire ever try to intervene. They would have no power."

"Understood, Sir."

....

"Damn it!" Ch'en swored. "No luck on the information eh? Ch'en." Swire said.

"No. They still have their mouth shut until this point." Ch'en said. "I've tried everything. Nothing as well." Swire reassured.

"I'd like to insult your pride right now but i myself didn't succeed." Swire said which ticked Ch'en off.

"Now listen here you lil.Sh-"

Ch'en was cut off by the sight of Cos in the interrogation room.

[ Cos POV ]

"Do what you want! I won't give up any information." The Reunion member shouted.

"Really now?" I said. I grabbed the person's head by the head and slammed it hard onto the steel table.

"Hrgh!!" The person grunted. Then i unhooded the person. Turns out, it's a female.

"You dare slam a lady's head onto the tabl-" She was cut off by Cos who dropped her chqir onto the ground. Cos then stepped on her lower left chest area near the rib-cage.

"So?" I said, increasing the pressure onto the leg.

"HAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!" "ST-STOP!! PLEASE!! MY-MY RIBS FEEL LIKE IT'S GONNA BREAK!!" She pleaded.

*Crack*

"AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!" She screamed in pain.

I then cocked my Glock-19 and shot her in the thigh.

*BANG* "AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" "S-Stop...p-please...im begging you..."

"If you want me to stop.." i then stepped on her wounded thigh. "Start talking." I said while she screams in pure agony.

"Okay!! Okay!! J-just st-stop the pain!!" She said. Starting to cry.

"You had your chance. My decision of letting you live depends on your answers." "First Question, Is it true Reunion is moving to Lungmen?" I asked.

"Y-Yes!" She responded.

"Second Question. Names of the leaders that will arrive."

"F-Faust, M-Me-Mephisto, a-a-a-and...SkullShatterer.."

"Which faction do you belong to?"

"Skullshatterer...."

"Fourth Question, what is Skullshatterer goal on Lungmen?"

"I cannot say.."

"I have my verdict." "You provided enough information. So i'll let you live."

She then smiled in relief. But then i shot her righton her other thigh.

"UURGGGHHHH!!! WHY!?" "I didn't say you can live without being crippled."

I then left the interrogation room. Reported everything to Director Wei and Kal'tsit from what i got.

"You..what happened to you..." Ch'en then asked.

"What happened?" I repeated what she said. Then i got closer to her face and lower my bandana. "The world was cruel, so i shall return the favor."

"Are..Are you really Cos?" Ch'en then asked.
"What's with the sudden question?" I asked. Then she pointed her sword at me. "You are so ruthless, it makes me wanna puke so hard."

"And distance yourself from me?" I then followed. Then i continued. "Distancing yourself from me is better."

"If you cannot handle such interrogation. You must be very weak-hearted. Superintended Officer Ch'en."

"Alright, that's it. Get to the training court. I'll personally fight you."

"Even if i hate Ch'en. I have to agree with her, Your ways are too overboard." Swire then readied her weapon.

"2 on 1? Bring it then." I perked up.

"Training Court, 10 PM." She said the time where we'll meet.

"Okay then."
