Complete Annihilation Vol. 1

Part Two

Part Two

       "The Annihilator and The Death Angel, you say?"

    Katashi Yoshiro, the Detective Hero, sat before the computer screen, frowning. In all his years as a MW law enforcer, the only criminals he had failed to catch were undoubtedly those two. But not only had he failed to catch them, he also has no idea what they looked like, which normally was a key factor in catching criminals.

    And thanks to their title, whether they were male or female was unknown as well.

    He sighed. His assistant looked at him in worry. "But still, Takino-kun, what makes you bring this up?"

    Yoshiro's assistant, Takino Akira, immediately stiffened. "Yes, sir! Sometime last night, around midnight, screams were heard from the Bartender's Bar."

    "That famous drinking area downtown?" Yoshiro repeated. "It could've been some drunk people getting into a brawl, right?"

    "Yes, sir," Akira nodded. "But you see, the people living nearby called the police and they arrived five minutes later to find famous businessman Ijiwara Kazuki, the bartender, and twelve other businessmen as been  slaughtered mercilessly."

    Yoshiro frowned. "So it had to have been..."

    "Yes," Akira nodded, moving the computer screen as he spoke. "On the table was a small black flame with a black feather floating on top, evidence of the two's appearance."

    "But of all people, why Ijiwara...?" Yoshiro frowned.

    "Was he a coworker of yours, sir?" Akira asked curiously.

    "Yeah," Yoshiro nodded. "He was a good work person."

    "Oh, and listen to this," Akira added suddenly, pulling up a new webpage. "Later that night, the Royal Museum was broken into and the museum curator was killed for no apparent reason. Also, the Queen's Diamond was found in the body's pocket, so it was assumed that he had stolen it."

    Yoshiro sighed, standing up. "All right then, I'm going to check out the scene of the crime. Takino, stay here and see what else you can find out."

       "Yes sir!" Akira snapped to attention, but then he frowned. "Oh, right, isn't your son supposed to be home by now?"

    "That's right..." Yoshiro frowned. "I completely forgot. All right! I'll take Isamu with me!"

    "Are you sure that's safe, sir...?" Akira stammered sheepishly.

    "Don't worry, Takino, nothing will happen," Yoshiro grinned fearlessly. "That boy's going to be the future Detective Hero, after all!"

    "Dad, I'm back!"

    The front door opened.

    "Perfect timing, Isamu!"

    The boy with messy black hair in a black school uniform frowned in confusion.

    "...So is that the only reason why you decided to drag me along?" Katashi Isamu, sitting in the back of the car, sighed.

    "Don't be like that now, Isamu," Yoshiro laughed heartily. "It'll be a good experience for you! Besides, you're not one to care about gory death scenes, are you?"

    It wasn't something a normal father would say to his son, but neither one of them was normal. They were both MWs--Yoshiro a professional, and Isamu an MW in training. Their family title was the Detective Hero, after all, and it was important for Isamu to be able to carry it on in the future.

    But, pulling up at the Bartender's Bar, neither of them could help but be scarred at the sight.

    Blood everywhere. Fourteen dead men. Broken weapons. Smashed alcohol glasses. The bar, surrounded by yellow caution tapes, was a mess.

    "Them again?" Isamu asked, eyes narrowing.

    "Yeah," His father sighed, picking up the black feather on the bar table. "The Annihilator and the Death Angel. The public won't like this...we have to catch them soon, Isamu."

    Isamu clenched his hand in a fist. Avenge her death...

       "Yeah. We do."

    In the air, both girls stared down at the scene, unnoticed, and swooped off into the sky.
