"My how the mighty have fallen" said Eddy looking down at Scarlet glaring up at him.
"just help me up" she said slowly lifting herself.
Eddy sighed and shook his head as he placed her arm over his neck to pull her up "I'm still mad at you" he said helping her walk out of the rubble.
"I know" she replied softly.
"Hey! You alright!" shouted Trevor waving his hand at them.
"We're good here" said Eddy placing Scarlet down on a piece of concrete so she could rest. "you gonna tell me what happened? or do I just let Kaito take you?"
Asmodeus gasped running away from the town while holding his bleeding shoulder. He quickly hid behind a small building as a cop car passed by. "The military police" he whispered looking up at the smoke that came from the town "I need to get out of here" He turned back and ran through the alley to avoid the main streets but stopped when two people stood in his way.
"Hello" said a woman with skin tight leather clothes. She walked up to him while sucking on a lollipop "I was wondering if you could help us, were looking for Scarlet Whip"
Asmodeus glared at the woman preparing to strike but gasped as the man behind her rushed him slamming him against the wall. Asmodeus saw the pale white teeth underneath the man's hood.
"what the hell Gabishi!? I was asking him a question"
"he's the leader" said Gabishi pulling back as Asmodeus created a shadow sphere around himself.
"Scarlet is long dead!" shouted Asmodeus lifting up off the ground "I had the pleasure of killing her myself"
The woman looked at Asmodeus as he laughed"I'm glad you enjoyed it" she said crushing the lollipop with her teeth "it's not everyday someone touches Tyrant property"
Back in town Kaito and Beneki spoke while looking down at Guen and Ean passed out on the floor "what do you want us to do with them?" asked Benkei as Kazuki slowly made his way to them.
Kaito looked at the poor shape Kazuki was in "I don't know" he said scratching his head "it's not everyday the damsel in distress obliterates her kidnappers" he looked back hearing his name again as more of his members brought Ahrima, Ahura and Satana in chains. "and then we have these three" he said walking towards them.
Kazuki sighed in relief dropping to the ground "what's gonna happen to her?" he asked looking at Benkei.
Benkei looked at Kazuki and smiled "we're the only ones who know what your friend did, she'll be fine" she looked up as an ambulance and cops started to arrive "Kaito may seem mean, but he won't let the hand of justice punish your friend for this"
"thanks" said Kazuki looking up at Kaito walking over to where Eddy and Scarlet were "if it wasn't for you guys we wouldn't have been able to get here in time"
"it's not us you should be thanking" she said looking at Ean "He's the one who calmed her down"
Kaito sighed pulling out a cigarette and lighting it before stopping next to Eddy. "so what's her deal?" he asked as they both watched her walk away.
Eddy looked at Kaito not knowing where to start "she said there's a war coming" he looked away "and Sora's got something to do with it"
"what do you mean there's a war coming?"
"Scarlet said Sora was reuniting all of the former Tyrant members because somethnig big is coming"
Kaito turned to look at the others, he sighed tossing his unfinished cigarette "their have been rumors about a war but this thing with Sora, it's new to me. The government tries to keep close tabs on every new group that rises up. Sora is probably joining the already rumored war and we can't have that. Not to mention that if Sora is gathering all of the Tyrants, he's probably going to come after you and Genkaku"
"I don't know, Scarlet said that Sora already got a lot of the former members but many of the division leaders went off the grid. I don't see how he could find and recruit them all"
Kaito sighed thinking about who Sora was. A happy peaceful man with squinty eyes. Everything he ever did was done for humor. Sora led one of the Tyrant divisions but his division was always referred to as the laid back lazy bunch. Kaito sighed and scratched his head as he walked down the hill "Sora is going to make a mess" he said tapping Benkei on the shoulder and asking her to follow him.
Benkei followed Kaito through the wrecked streets and then down a dark alley far out of sight from the military police and everyone around.She felt an eeriness to the alley "Kaito?" she asked as two people appeared before them.
"well look who it is" said the woman in leather walking out of the shadows with Gabishi right behind her. She smiled looking at Benkei "and who's this?"
"Ohm and Gabishi" said Kaito raising his gun at her "what are the two of you doing here"
Gabishi pushed passed Ohm who looked at him rudely "Kaito Acuva" he said pulling down his hood to show a pale white skull with blood red streaks running down. "it has been too long brother, tell me how's the kid?"
Kaito shifted his gun from Ohm to Gabishi "I'm not going to ask a" he paused sensing an odd presence from all around. He felt Benkei tug on his shoulder, She too felt the sensation. They were surrounded, multiple powerful figures were lurking in the shadows.
"we here to collect what's ours" said Gabishi raising his hand in the shape of a gun and pointing it back at Kaito "we can do this the easy way or the messy way" he said putting his hood back on.
Kaito closed his eyes to pinpoint exactly how many people were surrounding them. He smiled and lowered his gun. "It has been a hasn't it" he said extending his hand to shake.
Gabishi chuckled taking a step forward to shake Kaito's hand but paused as their eyes met. "so that's how you want it"
Benkei turned around as three people stepped out of the shadows.
"just stand down Kaito, we have you heavily outnumbered" said Ohm "we're just going to get them and go, quick and simple"
Kaito smiled putting away his guns and lifting up the badge attached to his pocket "you have the right the remain silent"
