A night of crime.

Chapter 19.

I was standing in the mid term area of the building, it was like an industrial warehouse. Stacked with boxes, gallons and cans, I was held up at the second floor to the last. Number 067, colored milk and had glasses slide windows. I was simply asked to guide the place from possible attacks. The ghoul convention had started and I felt bored.

I pushed by back against the wall, took a hard sit against the floor, legs crossed and eyes fixed against the door. Glenn and Rin, were all tasked to different positions as well. I remember Yumeko calling us her elites guards and possible top ranks, no like I cared.

Suddenly, I heard a loud bang that broken through the main walls. Gun fire was heard and bombs exploding in various locations. Man hunters broke in and were making a rapid progress passing through the guards. I staggered backward in fear as I felt our ghoul resistant were falling down easily. I scoffed in disappointment and heard the telecom device in my ear buzz.

"Hey…panda face! Rin called out and I placed my fingers to my ear, stuttered for a moment. "Yeah!

"The man hunter core has broken pass the outward defense, we were spread thin. But the show must go on…". He whispered and I heard soldiers shouting over the com.

"Rin? I muttered and I heard the gun fire.

"Don't die, Yumeko is still up there and she would like you to fend off all soldiers heading that way". He snapped and I heard the gun fire stop and more yelling for backup.

The com snapped and I didn't hear any thing but the feint eerie whisper of silence. I slowly turned my focus back to the door, where my vision was slightly disrupted by a flying metal can. It had a danger warning and I could tell it wasn't a joke.

"Man hunters…? When did they…? I paused as the grenade exploded in my face. I blocked it with my Kagune and used my Phoenix dive Kagune to fire spikes at them. The soldiers were well prepared as they used an army tactics of shield to block my spikes. I groaned in anger but paused as I realized, blocking my shots, meant blocking your vision.

I vanished and appeared in between them, using my Kagune to purge through their thick armor suit and have them all killed. I sighed one of relief but the next sound, wasn't a good either.

The door on the other end open and it was a group of sword fighting man hunters. From their briefcase, I could tell their rank perhaps. A silver case meant it, a grade two hunter and a golden case could mean a level one.

Whichever one it was, the swords men were fast and moved in unit. Using a puff grenade smoke to block my vision and slash my ribs from opposite direction. I pushed backward a bit and realized I was surrounded, with two in front and at the back.

This was a good strategy but still had flaws. It was as though, they were setting up to dispatch my concentration by separating.

A unit of twos was fine but they seemed as though they just wished to hold me off, instead of kill me.

Either way, I knew what to do. I pulled out my four Kagune, using the speed of my Phoenix dive and strength of my Rashumon to slam against their swords. I waited for the perfect opening and lash at one of them.

Then the other, obviously tried to help but regretted it immediately. I paused and doubled back on the other two, slashing one with my foot trooper sword and wiping the other against the door. He stumbled and was by another man hunter, who wore a white long jacket, crispy hat and carried a golden case.

"A golden case". I muttered to myself. "Doctor Guetta Konosuba…! You came? The man he caught in mid air muttered and he let out a cold smirk.

"rest now, I'll take care of this monster" Konosuba replied.

Konosuba got on his feet and as the moon light shines on his face, I could tell that this was a fight I was longing for.

"you? Quack! I snapped and he scoffed in sign of a chuckle.

"indeed, it is me. It was thanks to your memory scan, that had us discover about this convention. Now we will destroy every ghoul here, including your precious Yumeko". Konosuba replied and let out a sarcastic laugh.

"You jerk…! I'll kill you". I snapped in anger as I remembered well, he was the doctor who messed with my head and tortured me. This was a good meeting spot and a round two.

I pulled out my entire Kagune gear, cracking the ground with my strength and feet. Preparing for the fastest run and battle ever. Again in a narrow hallway, an epic battle is about to commence.

"That's right…show me what a monster like you do to trespassers. You want to kill me? I'll kill you first! He snapped and weaved off his jacket. Pulling out his electric long pole like teaser.

Like a flash of light, we were already close to each other's face, both swinging our Kagune and weapon respectively at each other. There was a huge erupting sound, which followed with a large explosion.

The night was perfect for a crime, the explosion sent waves with shattered the windows and glasses, sending pieces of it down the building. The air was dusty, clothed in smoke and the thick rush of air filled the battle scene. It was as though, heavens opened up for the view of a nasty fight of our lives.
