Third Person POV

It all happened so fast. Kayano, Nagisa, Karma, Fuwa, and Terasaka, just wanted find the real underwear thief and yet instead, they found themselves in the middle of an assassination. They couldn't do anything but watch as their target was in-caged by anti-sensei sheets. He was cornered and by their own tactics no less. It seemed the only thing they could do was confront the mastermind himself, Shiro. 

'You may be an intelligent strategist but your killing methods are below mediocre', thought the unnoticed presence. From the tree top, they could see everything play out.  Including the many flaws in the plan itself.

The fight didn't last long. It only took a minute or two until Koro Sensei was able to read Itona's attack pattern and find one of the many escape routes. By compressing the tips of his tentacles he was able to release a small burst of energy that both blinded the attacker and destroyed the structure that confined him. 

Seeing their teacher in one piece washed relief over the 5 students on stand by. However seeing Itona on the ground, clutching his head in pain seemed to have them anxious all over again. "With the shock of his repeated defeats, his tentacles are starting to gnaw away at his mind... ", Shiro explained.

As they stood there,  perplexed about the what to do next, the figure sitting on the tree branch was unsure about their next course of action as well. 'The tentacles are more severe then I previously thought. I suppose the pain killers and sleeping gas I brought along will be of no use since the tentacles will create an immunity to them.' Looking back at the spectacle in front of them, the white robed villain could be seen fleeing from the area to which the unknown figure followed suite.

The quiet intersection seemed to be absent of people which only put the guardian more on guard. He looked around but there was no one in sight. And yet, there was a sudden 'tap' of a footstep from behind that made the grown man jolt in surprise. "Give me the antidote", demanded the persuiter, who finally made their existence known. Confronting such a threat is something only a fool would do but Shiro was no fool-in his opinion at least. In a calm voice he challenged, "Now why would I do that?"

With a pistol touching the back of his abdomen, it wouldn't even take second to pull the trigger and end his life. "Because I said so." The phrase lacked something, nonetheless it made a shiver run down the man's spine. It wasn't the precision of the words nor was it the danger he was faced with, in fact-it was the voice that lacked all human emotion.

That being said, it was not as if the adult was fearing for his life-he stopped caring after the incident. So opposing such a force would not be a problem for a person like him. "So to say I die here and now, who would give you the antidote? Mind you, it is my invention." Hearing no response and gun still pointed at his back, Shiro decided to continue provoking. "Shall I mention the other 2 reasons as to what's stopping you from ending my life or can I leave now?"

Feeling the cold metal leave its spot, the guardian was about to walk away until something happened. The world seemed to spin. It was not because he had finally lost his sanity, the reason lies in the one behind him who used their gun to hit the back of his head. "Prepare yourself Shiro." Then everything went black.

Some time had passed since Itona ran off and started attacking cell phone stores. The police and news reporters are already on the case but fortunately are oblivious as to who the culprit is. Chasing down the somewhat crowded streets of Kunugigaoka was a (H/C) haired girl who seemed to be looking for something urgently. Making a sharp turn for a back alley and jumping over a small wired fence, she finally came to a stop at a fairly deserted area . The chase would have made all her electronics fall out of her pocket-that is if she had any at the moment. For reasons unknown, she decided to leave all her devices at home-even her precious music player that she rarely leaves the house without.
