The burning apartment turned into ashes. The interiors are completely burned. The luxury is now a wasted cabin of a ghost. The bedroom and the stairs have turned pitched black. Under the building there's a unit of elite government soldiers. They are heavily armoured. Black military vest and tactical equipments. From head to toe. Armed with cybernetic weapons. The GSS. People were gathered and they were keeping them out. Helicopters were hovering. The apartment that was blown up was a reputable property. Household of the S Rank Wingman Kaito Yashima. Considered a fortress of hell. As time was passing by a soldier looked above. The ashes and dust were still around.
"What a fool!" A woman was sitting inside of the blown up bedroom. White hair, glasses, greenish eyes. Mira Ariko. S Rank, 8. "It's no surprise after all you were her student." She talks to herself as she was sitting down and looking outside of the broken window. "Student huh? Well she trained all of us equally don't you think?" A voice from the shadows.
Mira slightly turns back. Squinted eyes, sharp as a knife. From the dark a man walks closer towards her. His chest had a core which gave a blue glow. His left eye was completely modified. He's tall and muscular. Yama. S Rank, 5. Each step he took the floor cracked a bit. "What are you doing here?" Mira asked him with a deep tone. Her look was filled with annoyance. "Visiting a ghost house I guess. Spooky!" He was mocking the situation with his words. Mira didn't reply. She looks ahead and says, "call Ren and Michael. Tell them to come back to Axiom as soon as they can." Yama smiled and turned back and started walking. "They won't do a shit."
The floor was covered in blood trails. Walls were painted with blood stains. A severed arm was laying around. A soldier was hanging on the ceiling. His head split open. A soldier was half alive was begging. "Just kill me." Death is better than pain. The room has high tech equipments. Modification spears, artificial limbs, a separate room which had artificial human bodies hanging around. Inside of a jar there were three eyeballs. Right in the center Kaito was standing tall. His hands covered in blood and his hair was messed up. "So doc how was the show? Did you enjoy it?" Right in front of him there was an old man sitting on a chair. His eyes were modified his right arm was cybernetic. Dr Dex, the brain and the creator of cybernetic modifications. A man who changed the era. "You're just an idiot Kai. You won't survive. No matter what type of modification you take from here you won't survive." Kaito looks at him and smiles. He wiped off the blood stains from his face. "Modification? Oh no doc I am not here for modifications. I want you to get rid of my modifications." His words are sharp and clear.
Four hours have passed since the explosion. The area is cleared and the chaos has stopped but the aftermath remains. A high speed car was approaching. Inside there were two figures. A man in front of the wheel. A woman sitting right next to him. His blond hair was waving, his blue eyes looked furious. The woman looked calm. Her black hair was waving as well but her arm was different. She has complete modified cybernetic arm. There were glossy stickers and signatures on the arm. Most noticeable one was from Kaito Yashima.
S Rank 2 Michael and S Rank 6 Ren. As they were driving faster and faster behind them an elite unit called the Rovers were also approaching. "You sure we will find him there?" Ren asked but Michael doesn't say a single word. He looked ahead, still furious. He turns the wheel and holds the clutch. The car drifts and almost lost balance. Ren yelled, "damn it dude." The people around them looks at them as they were rushing like thunder bolt. "That bastard. I will kill him." Michael was furious. His tone was deep and filled with rage.
The main entrance of the lab was shut down. The hallway was covered in blood stains and a soldier was crawling backwards while being wounded. Others who were alive were also falling back. Inside the lab there were only two souls. One creator and one controller.
"Will you hurry up?" Kaito was laying down and Dex was doing a first scale surgery on his right leg. His left was stitched up and his right eye was missing. A hollowed out socket. Inside a tiny light was beeping. "I can simply chop your leg will it work?" Dex was already frustrated. "Look doc I don't have time anymore. Michael might arrive soon so just take out the last gear soon."
As time was passing by Kaito was laying down quietly and Dex was doing his thing. The modified eye was taken out. The leg modifications are being removed. Only modifications left are his hands. "What about your arm? They are class X gear. Top of the world." Kaito doesn't say anything he simply turns his head on the other side. "No let them be. I need some memories after all."
Dex keeps on doing his thing and Kaito keeps his cool. "The night she vanished was the same." Kaito looked at him as soon as Dex says it. "I don't want to hear about it." Dex smiles and says, "I bet you don't. After all you're her as well, just different gender."
"I said I don't want to hear or talk about it." Kaito says it out loud. The doctor doesn't make any eye contact. "The only difference is you're taking everything off and she took everything in." That's it. Enough to trigger him. Kaito gets up and grabbed Dex's collar. He pulled him and choked him. "You damn bastard. I don't give a damn if she modified herself or not."
Dex doesn't fight, doesn't resist he simply puts a smile on his face and says, "surgery completed." Kaito looked at his leg and sees the gear is taken off. His legs are humanlike again. He looks at Dex and lets him go.
Suddenly Kaito looks towards the main entrance. His eyes wide opened but his instincts kicked in. "They're here." He whispered.
The blast door made an immense sound as if someone has punched it with great precision and strength. Dex backs off a little, a single sweat dropped from his forehead. Kaito doesn't break a sweat he looks straight up and waits. His legs are humanlike again the gear is removed but he has also removed his modified eye which was his greatest advantage. Again another immense sound came this time the lab door cracked a bit. The doctor looks at Kaito, "looks like I have to arrange something for the party." Kaito gave him a side look and says, "you sarcastic bastard."
Within a second the whole door just cracked. Everything becomes motionless for a moment. The whole door just blasts open. The thick steel door flips over and it takes everything with it. Kaito jumps and evades the explosion and the door coming at him. The whole door along with the interiors of the lab flies out of the window. Ashes and dust covered the whole place. "Is it you Michael?" Kaito smiles and says it. He feels the thrill.
From the dust and smoke he walked in. His fists were glowing and an immense aura was coming out of his whole body. His eyes furious and each step he took made his appearance more deadly. "You really think I will support this kind of madness this time? Answer me Kaito." Michael looked furious.
"Do a favour partner, just accept it one last time and then you don't have to worry about my troublesome ass." Kaito was smiling and saying it out loud. Dex was standing there as a spectator. His words were out of question. "Come back Kaito. There's still time. We can talk things out man." Michael was looking calm for a moment as he speaks of these words. "Too late partner, I have chosen a different path this time. If you want to join you are allowed but if not then don't make this hard for me." Kaito's tone felt soft and warm as if he was requesting.
Michael gave him a disgusted reaction. He was feeling annoyed and furious. "Look at yourself. Do you have any idea what you are doing. The modifications you had were the rarest of all time. Making yourself a weak vulnerable person just to feel the thrill again is nothing but madness. You won't survive a single battle." His words were raw truth. In this era high class modifications and gear is everything in order to win. A cybernetic warfare.
"I guess being a weak person is not that bad partner." Kaito doesn't sound furious. He's lost.
"You have two choices Kaito, come back with me. If you come back now I swear the authority and the others won't question your actions and if anyone tries to I will kill them personally." Michael made his statement. He's clear and loud. He's straight and clear. Dex takes a few steps back and slightly looks at the modified eye of Kaito which was inside of a jar.
"And if I don't what then?" Kaito tilted his head and his tone became deep and killer like again.
"Then I have to kill my best friend." Michael made his choice.
