Necessary

After she left, I went to a bar near where Moose was. Outside the bar, there was a vending machine. It was surrounded by people.

I forced my way through and grabbed a can of soya. The sweetness and perfect combination of fat and soya eased my nervous system.

I let out a long ah~ it tasted really good.

Just when I was enjoying the drink. I heard a loud explosion nearby. I signed and took a puff, breathing out plenty of smoke. It hoveree around me.

Afterward, I turned into mist and went to the explosion site.

Vie opened his eyes slowly. An unfamiliar dark ceiling with a spinning fan could be seen. In his chaotic line of thoughts, he still managed to realize he was somewhere unfamiliar.

"Where am I?" He asked out loud and observed his surroundings. A woman with ginger hair entered my line of sight. She had a huge breast, a curvy body and long legs. Her facial features were a blend of grace and allure that seemed ethereal. It left you stunned and forget to make you breathe.

"Rinesse? Is that you?" Vie asked absentmindedly. It seemed his mind was still clouded.

"A very grand entrance you did there, Vie," she said sarcastically. 

"Sorry about that. Your guys don't want to listen so I gotta force them." Vie raised his torso and leaned his back against the sofa. He massaged his head to ease the pain.

"You never changed, Vie. So, what do you need from me?" She put her left leg over the thigh of the other.

She wore a short skirt and her sitting position slightly revealed her panties.

"Before that, what did you do to me? I'm sure I'm dead back there, and why? Bullets shouldn't work on Honors!"

"Ordinary bullets, yes. Those firearms use lern bullets. Now ordinary people can kill a superhuman."

"That's crazy. You're going to get yourself killed. You must know Synth doesn't take these kinds of weapons well." 

"They already know."

"You mean they allow the distribution of these weapons? Did they not know what that means?"

"You're scared? For hundreds of years, ordinary people are harmless to Honors, but times have changed, even an ordinary guy can kill a superhuman now."

"But why?"

"Is that important? Not like anyone gonna drill a bullet into you. Furthermore, these guns are quite expensive. You don't have to worry about being killed in an alley," She said in reassurance.

Vie fell silent. His expression changed to nervous and agitated.

"You alright?"

"...Yes, I'm alright." He replied after a short pause and continued, "Oh yeah, I'm here to make a deal with you." Vie looked at Rinesse, waiting for her response.

"Go on."

"I want the Neurosonic Disruptor. You can ask anything you want and we'll give it to you," said Vie nervously.

"Anything, you said?"

Vie nodded.

Rinesse shifted her eyes somewhere else, falling into a deep thought. After some time, she returned her gaze, "I want every information about Sunny."

Vie waited for her to continue, but even after five seconds, there was still silence. It was awkward.

"That's it?"

Rinesse opened her mouth to say something when the ground shook crazily. Not a second later, the wall burst open as someone exploded it.

Rubble and shrapnel went everywhere. The sound caused their ears to be almost deaf and ringing.

Rinesse kicked the table and took cover behind it. Vie got up from his seat and used his power to stop the incoming debris or remains. He then spun them around him.

"Are you safe, Rinesse? I haven't heard what you want." Vie turned his eyes to her.

"Can we do that later?"

"No, I need an answer."

"Okay, fine. You can have it. I want everything the Synth knows about Sunny."

Vie frowned slightly and wanted to ask when he realized people were entering the building. They wore plate armor with swords emitting a strange glow.

"Down." Vie simply moved his finger downward and the gravity around them became so heavy, it slammed them down. It caused a giant crack on the ground. Dust filled the area.

Vie waved his hand at Rinesse, and you could see the air around her seemed to get dense. Next, manipulating the gravity, Vie floated and burst the roof with his power.

He looked down at the surroundings. Then, he saw a flash of light coming at him. Before Vie could determine what it is, it already reached him.

He manipulated the gravity around him to be thousand times heavier. As a result, the flash of light slowed down and lost its speed. The light also dimmed and perished, revealing an arrow.

Vie looked around, determined to find the shooter with his heightened vision. On a tower, he saw an old man in light armor.

Vie form a pistol gesture with his hand. At the tip of his finger, he condensed gravity into a small, dense point. It pulled everything in. The air was visibly being sucked as his hair fluttered crazily.

The old man stopped whatever he was doing and fled.

"Graviton Beam," He said quickly and shot the 'bullet.' The bullet distorted space time as it traveled. When it hit the target, it created a powerful localized gravity field, crushing and compressing anything within a certain radius. The buildings and the ground were disintegrated, forming a huge crater. From bird's point of view, it looked like a part of the land was erased.

When I arrived, I withdraw my mist form and looked around to discern what was going on. I saw Vie in the air with his hand pointed at something. I know that move, he can't be!

My eyes shrunk when I realized he was planning to blast everything away. This guy is insane, there are civilians! I have to save them.

I immediately spread out the smoke on the blast radius. If I remember correctly, it should be five kilometers wide.

Dammit, can I save all of them! No, it's not the time to doubt yourself. 

I finished spreading the smoke and 'saw' more than three hundred blue flames, flickering. At the same time, I also saw something unexpected.

A purple and an orange flame. This was the first time I saw it. I couldn't help but got entranced by them for a brief moment.

I came to my senses, and I felt dread and heavy. It came all of a sudden. Why? I turned to look at Vie for answers.

He's preparing to launch it!
