Armani Phantomblade: The end of time part 1

4. Cass-Chiri.

Armani reported the events that had conspired among meeting Tatsumake in his workshop to Tori. The sound of the news upset him knowing that Tori's oldest and closest friend was dead along with Kumosaki. He almost went crazy after learning that the demi-demons who escaped the last world war are conspiring with them and had vowed to route them all out with him. 

"I am going to make those damn creatures wish they hadn't messed with us!" Tori yelled.

"Easy, it's not every Saitama, it's just a handful of them. I'll have a word with the leader to see what he can do, but if he can't do anything, then we need to track each one of them down." Armani said.

Tori cursed as Armani jumped through the portal to see the leader of the Saitama, Cass-Chiri, in her study. She was expecting Armani as he had already arranged an appointment with her the day before, for the same reason he'd explained to Tori.

"Good to see you again, skeleton warrior." Cass-Chiri started.

"Hello again Cass, any news on the rogues?" Armani said.

"My spies didn't return." Cass-Chiri replied.

Armani nodded before racing out of the room to the last known locations of the spies. His wings spread and his cane-sword drawn, Armani would try to find the spies either dead, or alive. He heard an explosion and flew around in that direction to see Demi-demons and Saitamas fighting against the local authorities. Armani landed next to the Saitama police chief to begin helping them.

"We are the spies Cass-Chiri sent to locate the rogue cell and now their attacking us! We need to hide!" The chief said as Armani landed.

"Roger, I got this!" Armani said as he flew away.

He flew up in the air, sent fire flying back down at the Saitama rogue cell before grabbing the demi-demon leader and holding him over the edge. He had Khalida against his neck ready to make his blood gush along the ground.

"Who is your leader?" Armani asked angrily.

"Someone you know!" He responded with a smile.

The demi-demon closed his eyes, raised his neck ready for the metal to cause his blood to gush everywhere.

"Enjoy your chance with the monsters below!" Armani joked as he dropped him into the abyss.

The demi-demons fear stricken face fell slowly as his flaying arms and legs began kicking and whacking thin air and then, nothing. His screams subsided and his figure disappeared. Armani flew back to the chief who was now staring at the burning building with a smile and had corpses of Saitama rogues and the entirety of the spies sent by Cass-Chiri.

"Took you long enough to figure it out, I am the leader of this certain regiment in the rogue cell. We expand across the many dimensions except for yours and the humans. We visit from time to time and now, time for you to die!" The chief explained while staring into the flames.

"Not if I can help it!" Armani responded as he ran the cane-sword into the chiefs back effectively killing him.

"You treacherous bastard!" Armani sighed as he dropped the chief down and flew away to Cass-Chiri.

"Well, skeleton warrior, what of the rogue cell and my spies?" Cass-Chiri asked upon Armani's arrival.

"Your chief was the leader of one regiment, the entire cell expands across the many dimensions barring my own dimension and the human dimension. The chief killed the other spies and the remaining Saitama rogues before taking his own life." Armani explained.

"Dammit! I thought there was something up with him, shame you couldn't have brought him back alive though, it would have proven useful against the cell itself to know that we have one of their many leaders." Cass-Chiri sighed.

"He said someone put him up to it, someone bribed him into joining the rogue cell, someone wealthy!" Armani added in.

"Yes, there were reports of one wealthy family who works in the rogue cell, I'd heard they were just rumors but this was because they don't like how I run things," Cass-Chiri said depressed.

"I'll go now!" Armani finished heading into a portal to Tori.

"Well Armani, what did you learn from Cass-Chiri?" Tori asked.

"The rogue cell is funded by a wealthy family within Dimension X, we have to cut that families funding down, or cut that family down." Armani replied.
