No Ones POV

Jake stood before a group of nervous scientists, and he wasn't happy. Jake asked them once more "So, you won't do it?" to which a brown haired scientist refused with a shaky voice and trembling hands "T-That's right. I can't do any experiments without permission." Jake narrowed his eyes at him dangerously "You've been doing it. So you don't need permission to do it once more on me." Jake insisted with a sharp glare looking at everyone in the room "I still can't, Since we made some progress, everything is under tight supervision." The scientist tried to reason with him even as he broke a sweat under Jake's cold steel gaze "Moreover, we never did it on a complete creation like you. so we can't guarantee the results. Dr.Crombell came here in person to wrap the last bit of this." The brown haired man committed a mistake without even knowing. The man did not expect what happened next "I see." Jake said ruffling up his white and red Ombre hair while closing his eyes. The scientist around him shuffled uncomfortably as they watched him cautiously, all while being filled with fear. Jake eyes suddenly snapped wide open as he lunged forward and grabbed the brown haired man by his throat and held him high above the ground, He made sure everyone in the room could see him struggle to catch his breath. The mans glasses fell and shattered upon impact with the ground "then you're useless, so..." the man gripped jakes hand tightly trying to speak but it sounds like nothing but gasps of air "Die." Jake says lowly and snaps the mans neck and throat with one hand, he also threw him on the ground making it stained red from the mans blood slowly seeping from his wound. The rest of the scientist shuddered and were frozen in time by the immense fear they felt for their lives at that moment 'We heard before, but he really kills an associate like it's nothing!' The remaining men snapped their attention from their dead colleague to Jake who began speaking again "I tried to talk to him nicely, but it's not my style and it's just tiresome...You all think so? Like this guy on the floor?" He shot them a sickening grin with narrowed eyes "N-No sir." one of them spoke quickly with others joining him "We will try." Jake cackled with amusement "Is the experiment problematic for Crombell to do it himself?" Jake asked still grinning "It won't be a problem, because we finished the clinical test. We just didn't test it on someone who's fully transformed." The man spoke quickly after seeing Jake become even more impatient "But in a case like yours, You're condition is way over the normal people, so You'll be able to recover if there's any problem." Jake looks down as his grin turned into a smirk "I like that. Crombell or Marie can never know about this. If they found out, I'll be sure to kill all of you." Jake looked up suddenly causing the terrified men to yell in unison "Yes Sir!!".

Frankstein's phone began to ring as he sets down 2 small saucers on the coffee table before Rai "You called me sooner than expected, I didn't expect to hear from you for a while. Wanted to check if I answered?" Frankstein asked as he answered the call already knowing who it was without looking at the caller ID "I didn't know I'd be calling so soon either." M-21 replied back into the phone with distaste "What do you want?" Frankstein asked but sounded a bit like a demand "Remember the girl you met earlier?" M-21 asked getting right to the point of the call "I remember." frankstein said as his eyes focused on the coffee table before him "Her code name is Marie, She wouldn't have come forward even if Jake was wounded. But this time she's out looking for you in person." Frankstein stayed silent listening to everything M-21 had to say "No idea why, but the focus seems to be on you alone, not the organization we were after." M-21 added quickly to the last thing he said "It's also suspicious that she's moving on her own..." She may be alone but watch out. She's completely different from Jake." M-21 finally gave Frankstein a chance to speak "You're too kind to give me all this Info." M-21 grit his teeth at Frankstein's teasing tone "I'm not doing this because I like it. Don't wander around and get caught!" M-21 hung up after realizing he made it sound like he was worrying over them. Frankstein lowered his phone from his ear and faced Rai who listened to everything while sitting on the white couch "They are on the move." Rai looked down at the bowl "Hmm..." Frankstein noticed that Rai hadn't touched his ramen at all "Master, what's wrong? Why won't you eat..." Frankstein didn't understand what was wrong, He had put out both pickled radish and kimchi so he wouldn't have to choose "Hm..I'm waiting for it to be double." Rai simply explained to Frankstein who realized what he meant as a shadow fell over his facial features "I should have cooked 2!!!' Frankstein thought dramatically to himself.

-LOCATION CHANGE TO APARTMENT BUILDING-

The door handle that led to the room where Rai was once being held in, began to rattle and then turn downward. 4 men walked in looking around "You're sure he came in here?" A man with long black hair asked the other one with sunglasses on "I saw him with my own 2 eyes. He came in here a few hours ago" the same man turned and looked to the side after seeing a shadowy figure walk towards them "Huh?" It was the sickly skinny man from before "You're right." the man with long hair said as their eyes fell on him "What have you been doing? Our meeting was a few days ago..." The one with glasses asked him as another one added "We thought the trackers killed you." The sick man didn't reply to them "I don't want to let this go thinking the days we wasted waiting for you, But... looking at you so pathetic. I'll be nice and let this go. You look like you've been through a lot." though the man with shoulder length black hair said this, it didn't sound sincere at all "You must have suffered, stealing from such a place. Oh well..." the shorter man with sunglasses was getting impatient "Lets see the package. come on, we don't have time." the man stated with his hand outstretched towards the sick man "Everyone here?" a voice rung throughout the bare apartment room as the men there were clearly startled by the strangers voice "Who's that?!" one of them asked loudly "I don't see him." the figure stated displeased "Hey what's going on?" the man with black hair asked the sickly man who simply smirked in response "You betrayed us?" the man said in disbelief and just then the window shattered inward toward them. The man with black hair finally realized who the figure was and called her name out terrified "No way...Marie?! damn it, why are you here...?" All of the men in the room with black suits on reached for their guns fearing for their lives. They didn't have a chance to fire because Marie jumped forward and slashed the 2 closest, one wore sunglasses and the other was bald. They went down in matter of seconds "OH MY!" the man with the blue undershirt ran away and out the door barely making the turn around the doorframe "H-HEY!" the black haired man said shocked that he would be ditched just as easily as the man had done a few seconds ago.

The man turned back around and yelled at the top of his lungs "Damn it!!!" he shot 3 bullets at Marie which all missed their target, because Marie jumped over the man doing a filp. She landed on her heels making a clean landing before sprinting to the wall next to the door and strikes through the wall with her hand. She kept it there for a moment and then removed it once she saw blood ooze out from the wall and onto the floor. The last man left standing looked on with horror written across his face 'how could she get the one behind the wall...?' he gulped when she turn her attention to him at last "D-Don't come closer!!" he shouted fearfully at the blue haired female but fired his gun anyway. Marie dodged every bullet gracefully and wrapped her hand around his neck. She pinned him against the wall a few inches off the floor "Where is the rest of your crew that you hang out with?" she asked with narrowed eyes "A-Argh..." she let him go so he could speak but he only fell to the ground coughing and gasping for air "T-There's no one else." he replied after catching his breath "There's at least one more." she insisted with a monotone voice and steely eyes piercing his own "I don't know what you're talking about." he replied with his teeth clenched tightly "There should be a blonde guy that hangs out with you here." she explained with her patience running thin by the passing minute "Blonde? There is no blonde." he said with a strained voice "you must be lying. if I find out that you are, you die peacefully like the others" her eyes showed no hint of mercy making him sweat profusely "I-It's the truth, we're all the members dispatched here. I would know if there was someone else!" he swore that he was telling the truth as she stared at him and considered if he was telling the truth then the blonde had nothing to do with moving the coffin "I'll find out sooner or later, if its the truth or not." She glared down at the trembling man with fierce eyes.

-LOCATION CHANGE TO THE TOP OF A NEARBY BUILDING-

Frankstein stood beside Rai as the looked down at the pedestrians below them and had a view of everything that went down in the apartment room "Master, shall we move now?" Rai didn't reply to that instead he said something else "...Nothings changed." Frankstein stayed quiet and let Rai finish speaking "Taking a life to fulfil the goal..." Frankstein saw something in Rai's blank facial expression but Rai dismissed it "Master" Frankstein tried but Rai cut him off before he could ask anything "Let's go back." Frankstein and Rai turned around and left the area without a second glance back. They were well on their way home with the wind blowing by their ears and pushing their hair back.
