CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

'Five Death Pillars of RAPSCALLION'

SILA ANG PINAKAMAHUSAY at pinakapopular sa buong RAPSCALLION. Sila kase ang laging mayroong misyon at sila lang ang mayroong isang-daang porsyento na magagawa nila ang lahat nilang misyon ng tama. Dahil bantog ang kanilang pangalan ay maraming mga requester sa labas ng bunker ang pinagkakatiwalan sila.

Mayroong dalawang klase ang mga miyembro ng RAPSCALLION. Ang solo at ang pride. Solo literally meant an independent member of RAPSCALLION. He was the only one doing all of his chosen or requested missions, executing them in his own way. On the other hand, there was the pride. Just as a group of lions is called a pride, they also called a group of RAPSCALLION a pride. They treated themselves like lions. They were stronger when they stuck together.

According to Dwell and his friends, the Five Death Pillars of RAPSCALLION consisted of five members. Krayken Leo was the leader of the group. He was the strongest in the team, also known as 'Striker'. He used a Katana, and a single dash strike could cut his opponent into four. Back when he was a newbie in RAPSCALLION, he used a common gun, but after he accomplished a high-stakes mission, he was given a special gift—a Katana. He had been using it ever since.

He had a strange ability to launch a swift attack that was as fast as the blink of an eye. It was still unknown to everyone where he got that kind of technique.

The second pillar of the group was Trevor Ronin. He was the youngest in the group, also known as 'The Cipher'. The greatest hacker of RAPSCALLION. He was known for using a sonic gun that unleashed a shattering wave effect, designed to be a non-lethal weapon. He got that weapon by completing one of his missions.

The third member was Tro-Jan. Since he became a member of RAPSCALLION, he had never revealed his true face, and he rarely spoke to anyone. He was the most mysterious guy in the group, skilled at wielding his scythe and cutting down anything that blocked his path when he was on the run with his target.

Jenly Calizzo. The only girl in the group. Cute, charming, and effortlessly beautiful. She used a plasma gun that could push her opponents away. She was a former gymnast and an honor student before she lost everything because of CRYPTIC.

Lastly, Stephen Carrange, also known as 'Doctor Crow'. He always wore a plague doctor mask. He was the cure for the group and the virus to their opponents. He had a grenade launcher that fired poison that could damage his opponents in no time. He was the living medical kit of the team.

Lahat ng mga impormasyon na nalaman ko sa nasabing grupo ay sinabi sa akin ni Dwell. Hindi makakaila na malakas ang presensya nilang lima nang pumasok sila sa Dining Room ng bunker. Lahat ng mga mata na nadirito ay nakatingin lang sa kanila. Sila ang iniidolo ng lahat. Maging ang kanilang Empress ay hangang-hanga sa kanilang lima. Sila lang daw kase ang nakakapagbigay ng pera sa buong RAPSCALLION.

Hindi na kami tumuloy sa pagpunta sa harapan ng Dining Room para magpakilala sa aming mga sarili dahil inagaw na ng Five Death Pillars of RAPSCALLION ang sandali na nakalaan para sa amin. Ayos lang iyon sa amin dahil sino ba kami kumpara sa kanilang lima. Sa tindig palang nila ay nakakasindak na. Sila nga ang Pillars ng buong grupo.

"Oh..." nanginginig na sabi ni Gerline, "Nandito na pala kayo."

Hindi sumagot ang isa sa kanila at hinagis sa harap ang isang sako ng pera. Nanlaki ang mga mata ng lahat sa kanilang nakita. Agad na inayos ng mga alalay ng Empress ang mga nagkalat na pera sa sahig.

"Well, what do we expect? You're the best pride of RAPSCALLION. Kayo ang nagbibigay pinansyal sa buong bunker," nakangiting sabi ni Gerline, "Tamang-tama dahil nauubusan na tayo ng supply ng pagkain. Magpapatawag ako ng tauhan para bumili ng mga kakailanganin natin."
