The Cunning Copycat

Chapter 22: Issues Arisen Part 1 - Destruction

•When entering work this morning Zhu Yuan had expected the day to be like any-other, deal with Janes constant teasing, train with Qingyi, do paperwork and think about M/- i mean make the team an efficient unit like usual•

•what Zhu Yuan had not expected the day to start with was chaos, multiple attacks near lumina square has begun, criminals from the blue bottle wanderers flooded the streets near the janus quarter precinct which made them unable to help, nearly one hundred of them, and behind the lot of them was a fairly tall man who wore a mask with a twisted smile on it, almost akin to a clown mask•

•most of the thugs who attacked were untrained and careless which made them easy targets for Zhu Yuan, Jane, Seth, Qingyi and the rest of the officers at the criminal investigation team. Slowly but surely pushing their way through the criminals all the tall man did was stand, uncannily, unmoving. It disturbed Zhu Yuan but she pair no mind at the moment. More so focusing on making her way there•

(In another part of the city)

•kicking away a thug from an unknown group Lycaon kept his composure despite the multitude of unconscious bodies surrounding him and his team, he came in early today to set up the cafe alongside Rina but didnt expect for an attack to happen so suddenly, Ellen and Corin had quickly joined the battle once they heard of the situation•

•The numbers of the enemy gang began to dwindle slowly but out of the corner of his eye Lycaon spotted someone, a strange looking mask on his face which differed from the plain white masks the regular thugs had. His was more detailed, more creepy, more unique. It had large swirls covering the whole thing with spikes coming out of the top of it•

•now having a focused target in sight Lycaon called on his team to focus up and get through them, with new determination in their eyes they begin to plough through the thugs towards the man•

(In yet another part of the city)

•the middle of lumina square was all but silent, not a soul in sight, you could hear even the smallest of noises. But now that didnt matter, what mattered was the figure standing in the center of the square•

M/n?: master, the attack has begun.

Overlord: a wonderful job indeed, my prophet.

M/n?: both Juggy and Unveil have arrived at their designated targets. The victoria house keeping cafe and public security, may i ask master, why there? And why team up with the black masks?

Overlord: i have my reasons, for now, you know your part of the plan dont you?

M/n?: yes master.

Overlord: good. Proceed.

•as he hangs up M/n? Stares up to the sky and takes a deep breath, his blank almost dead looking eyes taking in the nightsky•

M/n?: we shall bring victory master, i swear it.

(Back to Public security)

•the numbers of the blue bottle wanderers had slowly been dwindling, and the four fighters had been pushing through to try and face the tall figure who had up to this point, had been all but silent, staring at them as they hesitantly approached•
