My Supernatural Academia (OC X Vtuber Story)

Chapter 74 - Malware's Scheme

Kukyona Sonzai is currently running through the halls of the building that the group was currently attacking. Most of them were mostly fighting to secure most of the hostages, if there were anyways, while Zai was looking for the VIPs that they were planning to collect to learn as much as they could on what Malware has been up to.

However as the mission continued, he was listening carefully to the coms while searching the entire facility. So far, the TEMPUS part of the group discovered what they had been doing with the hostages, which grossed Zai out as apparently, they had been figuring out a way to harness the Mana from others artificially and drain them of their own lives, effectively killing them and leaving them as nothing but empty shells of their former lives.

That kind of experimentation as Zai would know, would effectively lead to the death of so many people, not many to survive such a process, yet if the people who was captured were those who contained Mana within themselves, then what would Malware need all the Mana for in the first place if she doesn't utilize Magic at all? This kind of thinking is making Zai realize that the Artificial Mana Core project that Henya stated before was probably why, but he shook it off, knowing deep down that mustn't be the only reason.

He couldn't understand how or why Malware would resort to extreme but inhumane actions, which completely fits with her personality and actions, but he swears to himself that if he does get his hands on her, he'll destroy her himself. His inner Chaos has been demanding action, demanding blood, but since he couldn't deliver, he'll need to hold off for the time being.

As for Team Scythe, apparently they had discovered that this particular facility acted like an extended outpost, not even being properly connected to the Atlas Corporation itself. This made Zai note to himself that this outpost was most likely something that was formed more recently by Malware, but with how the infrastructure and design goes for this outpost, Malware must've constructed this really fast and very well. He is unsure on how she was able to pull something like this off in such a short amount of time, but he knows that he needs to get this done as soon as possible.

He eventually reached the exact room he was told that the VIPs were located as since it was locked, he simply kicked the door off of its hinges as he stepped inside. Much to his surprise, the place was fairly dark, but the room seemed fairly comfortable, but yet dusty at the same time. Yet when he spotted the VIPs, he noticed the two of them standing and looking at him in fear. 

He knows these two as Lukas' parents, Ichigo and Angela Misaki. Even though he hadn't met them personally, he could tell that they weren't really treated the best when working under Malware. He didn't know if he was supposed to feel anger or pity for them, but he held it in as he spoke to them.

Sonzai: "Mr. Misaki, Mrs. Misaki. We're here to get you out."

Ichigo Misaki was the first to speak up as he seemed relieved.

Ichigo: "Oh thank God! I'm so glad someone actually came!"

Angela: "But where's our daughter...? Where's our darling little angel...?"

Zai felt a sudden twinge of anger build up as he began to release a bit of his Aura, shocking the two as they retreated back for a bit. The two felt like they were going to be killed on the spot as Zai walked closer to them slowly.

Sonzai: "Why would I care about what you think?"

Zai's tone was cold and merciless as he stood in front of the two.

Sonzai: "You two are government officials, yet you were working for a corrupt company that was willing to destroy the Supernatural. Yet when you're master is out of the picture, you start to cower like dogs."
