*BANG BANG BANG*
“UUAAAARRGGHH!!”
“AAAARRGGHH!!”
On a street inside the capital city, Diva was shooting soldiers from the army who had arrived to confront them. She lands all headshots without breaking a sweat.
*BANG BANG BANG*
“UUAARGGHH!!”
“AAARRGGHH!!”
She kills more of the soldiers on the street. She is currently positioned on the roof of a random civilian’s house. Most of the soldiers have already identified her, but since she has been a sniper for so long, she has acquired a skill to stay hidden and move around the terrain to keep sniping while hiding her position. She masterfully hops off between roofs without being noticed with her Vein armor.
On the north side of the capital city, Raven was killing off soldiers who confronted him. They all shoot him at first glance, but their bullets bounce off his skin without leaving so much as a scratch. He is completely unharmed as he has the strongest Vein armor defense amongst the six of them.
“HRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!”
*ZRAAASSSHH*
“UUARARRGGGHHH!!”
He swings his two giant axes towards multiple soldiers with one swing.
“HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!”
*ZRAASH ZRAASH ZRASSH*
“AAAAAAAARRGGHHH!!”
“UUUUAAAARRGGHH!!”
He swings his two giant axes towards the other way and kills more soldiers who were charging at him.
*Step step step step*
On the South side of the capital city, Robert is running through the streets as he keeps killing soldiers and civilians alike.
*RATATATTATATATATATTATATA*
“AARRGGHH!!”
“KYYAAARRGGHH!!!”
“OOORRGGHH!!!”
“AAAAAAAAAAKKKHHH!!”
He shoots his two UZIs towards anything that is moving in his vision without a care in the world, even if it were an animal or children.
“GET THAT GUY ALREADY!! SHOOOTT!!”
*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG*
*BWOOOSSHHH*
Robert swiftly dodges all the bullets that the soldiers fired at him, zigzagging to the left and right and jumping into the air.
*RATATATTATATATATATTATA*
“AARRGGHH!!”
“UUUARARGGHH!!”
“KYAAARRGGHH!!”
And finishing them off while airborne and upside down. Every time he shot, he was aiming for their heads, though, while accurate, his headshot percentage is only 95% accurate, five percent off of the 100% accuracy that he was aiming for.
*THUD*
He lands on the road after finishing a group of soldiers coming towards him.
“Tch! I still need to get better with my accuracy. . .”
On the East side of the capital city, Raiya was punching the soldiers’ heads with her gauntlet, exploding them from their sheer force and weight, killing them instantly.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! DIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”
*BAAMM BAAAM BAAAM*
The soldiers that she killed cannot even scream as they all died instantly.
“FIREEEEEEEEEE!!! KILL HEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR!!”
*BANG BANG BANG BANG*
Even though her Vein armor was not as strong as Raven’s, the difference is very minimal regarding her defense, so the bullets simply bounce off her skin.
“NICE TRY!! DIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”
*BWOOOOOOOOOOONNNNGGGG*
“FWWOOOOMMMMMMM*
“UAARRRGGHHHH!!!!”
“AAAAARRGGHHH!!!”
Raiya shoots her heat beams towards the street and all the soldiers and civilians alike. Everything that was touched by her heat beams immediately exploded and burned. She was the main cause of the start of the fire across the entire city.
Meanwhile, Martina is stationed at the center in posisition to all five of them. Her role is that of the information relay. She foresees everyone else from her spot and informs them of any soldiers coming their way. She is standing on top of the tallest tower in the entire capital city. There is a huge golden bell located on top, and she’s standing on that spot.
She is holding a pair of binoculars and watching over the city with them.
*!*
“Raven! On your south! 40 of them! And Diva-chan! Ten guys are coming to your spot on the roofs! Move out of the way!”
“ROGER!!”
“Roger!”
All of them have been equipped with very small communication gadgets on their ears that aren’t even visible to the human eye. These are actually Eissen’s Armaments that he lent to all of them for this mission.
“Hold on a sec, guys! I’ll spread the fire more!!”
Martina throws her two black disks in two different directions.

*BWUUUUNNNGGGG*
*FWOOOOMMM*
As it flies over the burning building below, it absorbs some of the flames beneath, and it revolves fast into the black disks, creating a rotating fiery blade. Afterwards, it keeps flying towards areas of the city that haven’t burned yet. The flames concentrated into the center near the black disks, and suddenly, at their height of energy concentration, Martina releases her hold over the fire.
*FWOOOOMMMMMM*
*BWOOOOOOOSSHHH*
As a result, she creates a large-scale rain of fire that rains down towards all the houses below.
*FWOOOMMM FWOOOMM FWOOMM*
She has successfully spread more fire in the capital city.
“HAHAHHAHAHHAA!!! BURN TO THE GROUND!!!”
*!!!*
But then all of a sudden, they all saw the giant pillar of pink light in the distance.
“O-Oi! What is that?” asks Raven.
“That’s in the center of the capital city!” said Robert.
“Eh? Isn’t Eissen-kun there?” asks Raiya.
“Martina-chan! Any visuals?” asks Diva.
“Hang on a sec!” said Martina.
“. . .”
After a few seconds, the entire bright pillar of pink light fades away, leaving nothing behind, not even a little bit of the 7-story giant mansion.
“G-Guys! That entire giant mansion is gone! I don’t see Eissen-kun everywhere!”
*!!*
“E-Eissen-kun! Please respond!!” said Diva.
“. . .”
“Eissen-kun!! Please answer!!” said Robert.
“. . .”
“I-I’m fine!!”
*!!!*
“EISSEN-KUN!!”
“That was so close! I almost died if I was late even for a millisecond! But never mind that! Guys! Please look at the sky and come towards it!”
*?*
*PSHEW*
Everyone saw that there was a flare being shot up into the sky, leaving a trail of red smoke behind. Without further words, everyone understood their assignment. They immediately leave their spots and head towards where the flare and trail of smoke come from.
.

Inside the house with the golden roof, inside its living room, there was a man already sitting on one of the three sofas in the center. In the living room, there is a small table surrounded by three large sofas, and there is a TV mounted on the wall, north of the small table. There are many paintings with golden frames hanging on the wall. Each of these paintings came from various unknown painters whom he accidentally came across in his life. Aside from paintings, there are also golden statues of a cat, placed near a wall in the living room, a golden lion, placed near a wall in the kitchen, and a golden gorilla, placed near a wall in the second-floor living room.
The man is currently sitting relaxingly, with a big cigarette in his mouth, holding a cup of jasmine tea in his hand.
“Fuuuhhh!”
He let out a small amount of smoke from his mouth.
“So that foolish president finally croaked, huh?”
The man’s name is Kuzart. He has tanned skin with a pair of white eyes and a vertical scar on both of his eyes. He has spiky short pale yellow hair on the top, but every hair on the back of his head, on the side, and his side bangs are all shaved very clean and short, military style. He usually wears his commander’s beret, but he took it off this time. He is currently wearing a black singlet, a pair of green cargo shorts, and a pair of white sandals. He is 165cm tall and weighs around 85kg. His body is a little bit fat and slightly chubby, and he is 46 years old.
“FUUUUHHH!!”
He lets out smoke from his mouth, in a larger quantity this time.
“So you came, huh?”
Standing behind him, behind the sofa, was Eissen. He has sneaked inside the house silently without alerting any of his automatic alarms that were placed throughout the house, discreetly. He is already pointing his gun at the back of the man’s head.
“As the rumors have been saying about you, you really are fast, huh?” says Kuzart.
“So, you really are the perpetrator of everything!”
“Well, there’s no point in denying it at this point, right? That is right, Eissen-kun! I am the one who planned everything!”
“I see! Hear that, everyone?”
*!!!*
All of a sudden, there are now five more people in the living room with Eissen and Kuzart. The five other people also gather and surround Kuzart in the center, on the sofa.
“This guy?” said Raven.
“Hm, he doesn’t look smart.” said Robert.
“Eh? This fatass?” said Raiya.
“He looks completely different than what I had in mine. . .” said Martina.
“Really? This is the exact same face as the one I had in mine, though.” said Diva.
Eissen, Diva, Raven, Robert, Martina, and Raiya have all assembled together in the living room. All of them have their weapons out, and they all pointed them towards Kuzart.
“So, what should we do to him, Eissen-kun?” asks Diva.
“Answer me! What is your motivation?”
“The same as you guys are! To destroy this wretched country to the ground!”
*!!!*
All six of them were weirded out by the fact that the man behind everything has the same goal as all of them after all this time.
“You think we’d believe that? Try again!”
“I have no reason to deceive you! You all have your weapons pointed at me. What do I get from lying?”
“Tch!”
Eissen was frustrated by his calm and collective demeanor.
*BANG*
*!!*
And he shot his left shoulder from behind the sofa.
“URGH!!”
He endured the pain, and he didn’t even try to cover the small hole on his shoulder.
“What? Did I piss you off somehow?”
*BAM*
“URGGH!!”
Eissen also hits the back of his head with his gun.
“Let me get straight to the point. WHY DID YOU KILL HER IN SUCH A GRUESOME WAY?”
“Urggh. . .”
“ANSWER ME!! YOU DON’T HAVE THE LUXURY TO STAY SILENT USING THE PAIN AS AN EXCUSE!!”
“Khehehehe! You’re quite an unreasonable guy!”
*BAM*
“AARGGH!!”
Eissen hits the back of his head again with his gun.
“TALK!!”
“Kh. . . I had none! I have no grudge against her! She is simply a woman I met by chance somewhere in the world during one of my missions! She was a scientist, but was sold into prostitution in the Underworld. I saved her after she suffered for two years in the Underworld and assigned them to that underground lab.”
“THEN WHY DID YOU KILL HER THAT WAY?”
“It was solely for giving you motivation!” says Kuzart, referring to me and Diva.
“What?”
“You see, I love this country! When I was little, I was so determined to become the president of this country and change this nation from the top! I wanted to make this country prosper and bring this corrupt country back to God!”
“So why didn’t you?” asks Diva.
“But when I was old enough, and I had proven myself to be a president, during the election, I got zero votes. Zero votes! During the campaign, I had a lot of people cheering for me. They all were excited by my cause, for I openly have said that I want to change this country in the truest sense. But I got zero votes! That was the moment that I realized this country and its government were corrupt at their roots. So, I decided to play the bad guy and plan everything from the inside. I had no luck for years, as the president was very keen and sharp towards my intentions. He kept getting in my way and even tried to kill me. But then our current president, the one who just died, was a fool who only really cared about women! I knew that this was my time to destroy this country from within. I plan everything for years upon years. I even bought child soldiers from our neighbouring country to assassinate the current president’s father. And then that incident five years ago happened and caught my attention!”
*?!*
“The child who escaped from the national prison. That was you, Eissen-kun! This is my first time seeing you in person! I’ve only seen you through the files and reports. Surely, YOU HATE THIS COUNTRY MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE, CORRECT?! FOR TREATING YOU LIKE AN OUTSIDER DESPITE BEING TRULY BORN HERE!!”
“. . .”
Eissen did not try to refute his statement, as what he was saying was true.
“After that prison escape, I’ve found five more individuals across the country who hold the same grudge and hatred towards this country, so I tried to gather all of you into my cause, and I succeeded!”
“What about your Faith power?”
“I was a Non-Believer for as long as I lived, but I just recently became a Believer a few years ago! My Faith power is to simply summon a piece of paper, which is a written contract with conditions that I can conjure however I want. But for the Faith power to activate, my target needs to write his hand sign using his blood, and if he were to break the terms of this contract, the written punishment that I have prepared will happen towards the owner of the blood on the contract. It’s not really a Faith power useful in combat, as you can see, and there are some obvious limitations. It is a Special type Faith power!”
“What about these bodysuits?”
“I had that woman scientists made for you all! To assist you in your quest against this country! After all, I know all the information regarding the military equipment and such, so I had your bodysuits to be able to withstand bullets, bombs, grenades, missiles, rockets, and even nuclear bombs to some degree.”
“. . .”
“Oh well, I’m done talking! You can do whatever you want with me! This country is gonna fall after tonight! I have no more will to live! I am satisfied!”
“. . .”
All six of them went silent for a bit.
*!*
Eissen signals them with his fingers, without alerting the man. They all quickly tied the man to the sofa, and they walked away to the kitchen.
“Isn’t this suspicious?” says Diva.
“Yeah, why is it too easy?” says Robert.
“Him being on our ‘side’ surprises me a lot.” says Raiya.
“Perhaps this is a trap of some kind?” says Martina.
“But if the entire army can’t take us down, what kinda trap works against us?” says Raven.
“You never know, Raven-kun!” says Robert.
“But at the same time. . .” says Eissen, attempting to delete their doubts, but he stops abruptly.
Eissen can’t explain it, but there is this looming feeling of a massive directionlessness in his heart. Destroying this country has always been his lifelong goal, yet he just found out that everything he went through in his life was planned by someone else.
“. . .”
Eissen holds his head with his right hand.
“. . .What now? What is this empty feeling?”
