Catalyst

Chapter 7: Bryant

The boy with the red eyes, rags, and tattoos is stumbling by a busy road.

Dante: "I'm alone again Dante... I'm alone again..."

Dante notices helicopters hovering over a house deeper into the block to his left.

Dante: "What are those?"

A wolf tattoo glows before he turns into a white wolf and darts towards a street that leads into the neighborhood inside...

Meanwhile...

???: "O-Oh my god!"

A male wearing a light blue T-shirt with a darker blue stripe at the top, black glasses, fairly chunky, tan cargo shorts, pale skin, short, brown hair, white socks and black shoes is sitting in front of a computer, creating abominations in either 3D modeling, or paper drawings at a desk. 

Male: "(laughing) Oh man! Max is going to be so pissed tomorrow!"

He can hear helicopter blades outside.

Male: "Hm? A car crash?"

The male gets up to go check it out.

Meanwhile...

Dante: "What kind of thing can fly without wings?"

Dante is standing by the house with helicopters hovering overhead, still in wolf form.

Dante: "Hm?"

A rope ladder descends to the front door, with a soldier climbing down.

Soldier: "Catalyst."

Another male wearing all black and has sunglasses on his head steps out.

Male: "Can I help you?"

The Catalyst Detector doesn't react.

Soldier: "Anyone else on the premises?"

Male: "There's my brother Bryant..."

The male from before arrives at the door.

Bryant: "What's going on?'

The soldier grabs Bryant by the arm.

Soldier: "You're coming with us Catalyst."

Bryant: "Save my model Mitchell.

Mitchell: "Can do."

Mitchell goes back inside as Bryant is led to the ladder.

Dante: "Something isn't right."

Dante looks at the soldier.

Dante: "It's not right!"

Dante rushes up before head butting the soldier's hand holding Bryant, causing him to let go.

Soldier: "A mangy mutt?"

Dante: "Mutt?"

The soldier steps back a bit.

Soldier: "A-A Creation?!"

Bryant: "Say what now?"

Dante: "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Two more soldiers slide down the rope ladder, both carrying shotguns on their backs along with a third one for the first soldier.

Dante: "I've never seen a weapon like that."

The third shotgun is caught.

Soldier 2: "Don't aim anywhere vital."

They aim their shots at Dante's back legs.

Bryant: "Get away from them! The closer they are, the deadlier the shot!"
