Chapter 4 - The tremendous power of the "Noire Mascarade"

.

As they were standing there in the hallway, silence was made.

Shinji was feeling an enormous pressure on his body, like the gravity of the place suddenly multiplied.

His vision became blurry and slowly, he was about to faint when a hand on his shoulder grabbed him and whispered :

"Stay, focused. Stay focused or you'll die, in vain."

When Shinji turned around, there was no one. But somehow, he regained strength and stood entirely up, he was sweating.

In front of them, 4 people were standing, 4 cloaked figures.

"These" said the tatted guy, "aren't mere soldiers. They're part of the elite 7."

"The elite 7? Care explaining ?" Asked Shinji.

The tatted up guy turned around and looked at Shin  : 

"Oh, forgot you were here..

 The Elite 7 are the 7 strongest members of the Noire Mascarade."

"The noire mascarade?" asked Shinji, as he slowly walked forth.

Atsui slowly placed her hands on each side of her body, and stepped backwards.

The girl with the fur jacket was hands facing the 4 cloaked figures.

Kazuya, curious, was watching the scene from the inside of his apartment.

The tatted up guy answered :

"The Noire Mascarade is a group owned by the Gods government. Every political figure can call them to take care of missions, they're kinda like-"

"Mercenaries?" cut Shinji.

"... Yeah," answered the tatted up guy "Recently, the people that have attacked Atsui's mother offered these guys something that they could not refuse as a reward.."

"What is it?" asked Shinji.

"The Earth." he said as he finally took his hands out of his pockets, "If they manage to bring Atsui back to the Sun Kingdom and deliver her to these people that have taken over, they-"

"Enough." said Atsui, staring at the figures in the hallway.

"Atsui... Amateru." said one of the cloaked figures.

It was a female voice , and slowly, she approached the group of teenagers, slowly taking off her hood.

She was brown haired , tall and had under her cloak a spandex suit.

Out of her neck many tattoos were coming out, showing that she was indeed a very tatted woman :

"Resistance is futile , Atsui." she added, smiling brightly.

Suddenly, around everyone's feet, snakes appeared.

No one knew were they were coming from, all they knew was that snakes appeared out of nowhere and started swirling around Shinji, Atsui and the two other's bodies.

"My.. hands are caught !" Yelled Atsui's lady friend.

" I kill them!" made Atsui.

Shinji, still had his hand up.

For a few seconds, he focused and somehow, the voice of earlier came back :

"Your power is slowly awakening. Let it take over, trust it, nothing is bad about being a God."

"But... who are you?" asked Shinji.

"A voice in your head that had been keeping this secret for too long, the secret of who you really are, Harumichi Shinji...

Trust yourself, believe in yourself. Save everyone and become the strongest guy that has ever existed because that is what you want right? Down in your heart you dream to be the strongest person that has ever existed right ? So let it go Shinji. Reveal your true nature."

Shinji's eyes were glowing yellow.

His red hair was glowing and flowing up as the golden dust around his fist swirled around his knuckles.

He punched the ground and destroyed the entire hallway, the snakes with it.

Once everyone had landed downstairs, they all looked at the one standing on top of the debris; it was Harumichi Shinji.

He said :

"You guys are sure you wanna pick a fight with me? Because just saying.."

He jumped down the debris and landed in front of the 4 cloaked figures :

"I crazy fucking strong."

"Hmph, what a cheeky kid.", said a voice behind the snake woman. It was one of the cloaked figures. He took off his hood and revealed same features as Shinji; yellow eyes and red hair :

"You're not the only one, with that kind of power."
