41 Rescue at the Station

[later]

Mitsubi took Yuu in a corner to talk about his behavior, while the remaining 3 were near Xiao Qiangwei

Shinoa: Qiangwei, do you know what happened to them?

Xiao Qiangwei: I said it, no? There were 15 of them and now they should be 9, I think I was clear with it.

Shiho: You killed 6 of them alone and without a weapon?!

Xiao Qiangwei: in less than a minute.

Yoichi: Whoa…

Then the kid they rescued came near them and looked at Xiao Qiangwei while Yuu and Mitsuba were walking towards them.

Little Girl: It's Big Brother!!

Then she hugged Xiao Qiangwei's leg and looked at him with a smile

Yuu/Mitsuba/Shinoa/Shiho/Yoichi: Big Brother?

Little Girl: Yes! Around a year ago he came from the lower floors of the station, the vampires wanted to kill him, but he beaten all of them in a flash!

The first one became ashes instantly, he didn't even have time to touch Big Brother.

Other 4 were cut little pieces at the same moment, I couldn't even see if Big brother did something because he and another vampire disappeared and were near a wall with Big Brother's hand in the vampire neck, that told Big Brother where was the exit and then he became ashes too.

The other 9 were too afraid of him and made way to the exit.

Everyone: ...Eh?

Then they looked at Xiao Qiangwei in shock, while he was checking a bit his claws, then he looked up at them and said with a blank face

Xiao Qiangwei: What?

Everyone in the team said at the same time

Everyone: Nothing…

[Tomorrow]

The girl was at Shibuya right now, safe, while the team was in front of the station

Shinoa: So… According to Qiangwei's informations, the vampires are hiding in the old omotesando subway station, where they keep humans there as well. There are 9 vampires, which mean we're outnumbered.

But according to the reactions of yesterday from the vampires, we can use Xiao Qiangwei's presence as an help, but for safety, we will make a surprise attack in the early morning, when they are fast asleep.

Shiho raised an hand

Shinoa: Kimizuki-kun?

Shiho: What about the civilians they've captured? What if they use them as hostages?

Mitsuba: I don't care about hostages, our enemies have numbers on their side. We'll have our hands full of taking care of ourselves, we can't afford to worry about them too.

Xiao Qiangwei: It's ok, Shiho, I will take care about the hostages.

Shinoa: Then Let's get going! Stay in formation, protect one another, and don't get separated from the rest of the team, got it?

Yuu: Sure

Shiho: Mhm.

Yoichi: Yes, Ma'am!

Mitsubi: All right!

Xiao Qiangwei: Aye.

Shinoa: then let's destroy those vampires!

[later]

the team was inside and seen some humans that sat there without doing nothing

Yuu: What is it?

Shiho: T-this...

Some guys seen him and started talking between themselves

man 1: Who are these people?

man 2: Those uniforms…

man 3: Wait a second, isn't that with platinum blonde hair the same one who came here a year ago?

man 1: Yes, it's him!

Yoichi: Uwah, so many people…

Shiho: What the hell's going on here? Why don't they try to run away while the vampires aren't around?

Xiao Qiangwei: Where do you think they should go? The laws of the JIDA don't let outsiders enter unless in a special case, like me, and outside here there are Horsemen.

Shiho: Yeah…

Mitsuba: Pay them no heed! Let's move on! Let's head for floor B3 where the vampires are stationed, at once!

[later]

They were walking while looking around, until they found a vampire passing near them.

Yoichi: What's going on here?

Vampire: Hmm?

Mitsuba: Get ready to attack!

Everyone draw their weapon and Yuu directly rushed to the vampire, killing him

Yuu: Ooooh!

Vampire: Gaah! You head of livestock!

Yuu: Hah! How does it feel to be killed by a head of livestock like me, monster? Get out of my sight!

Then the vampire became ashes.

Mitsuba: ...You Idiot!! I told you not to take independent action!

Yuu: I'm no-

Vampire: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! GET AWAY YOU MONSTER!!!

he was interrupted when they heard a scream and turned to see a vampire crawling away from a walking Xiao Qiangwei, who had a smile the entire time

Xiao Qiangwei: Time to test my abilities.

Then he activated his claws and raised one hand, while activating his profound art, that was mistaken for the Claws' abilities.

Xiao Qiangwei: Hand of Darkness...

Then an big hand made of pure darkness appeared over Xiao Qiangwei, who lowered it, and the hand smashed flat the vampire, killing him immediately.

Everyone watched with horror the hand that was floating near Xiao Qiangwei, who turned to them and used the black hand to wave at them.

Xiao Qiangwei: Yo, I missed anything?

Yuu: What was that?!

Xiao Qiangwei: It was one part of the special ability that Ten'notsumi gave me, later you will get one too, I have 5 abilities like this.

Shiho: Is Ten'notsumi your demon?

Xiao Qiangwei nodded and then said

Xiao Qiangwei: There are 7 more vampires, let's…

Shinoa: Something happened?

Xiao Qiangwei: Since we are here, let me show you the second ability, get down.

Everyone did so and seen Xiao Qiangwei ready to swing horizontally, 7 vampires came out to attack them, but they were too late

Xiao Qiangwei: Jet Black Sword.

Then when he swept his arm forward, a small black line came out from the claws and was going towards them, the vampires raised their weapon to protect themselves, but they broke at contact, and the black line cut them in 4 or 5 pieces, without mercy.

But the black line didn't stopped there, it continued towards the wall, and cut that too, and continued forward for some dozen of meters before disappearing. Everyone got up from the ground, watching the ability and the easiness the vampires died.

Xiao Qiangwei: Those are really good results.

Mitsuba: What... What was that thing? It gave me creeps just from watching his second ability...

Yuu: It must be because it is him that its using the weapon.

Mitsuba: What do you mean?

Shiho: Before we got the weapons, he tested our willpower, and when the test started, my heart beaten really fast, and just with his killing intent, he made almost everyone seen hallucinations of their dead bodies, giving the impression that Qiangwei would kill us at that moment.

Many fainted, some were awake but puked, while me, Yoichi, Yuu and Shinoa were standing... But it was terrifying...

Mitsuba stood in silence and looked at Xiao Qiangwei's back with awe.

[later]

They left the station, but before they could get away, they heard a voice.

man 1: What the hell have you done?! Why did you kill those vampires?! Now that they're gone, what will become of us? What will become of the children?!

Yuu: What the hell is he talking about?

Xiao Qiangwei: 'It started...'

Man 1: The Japanese imperial army said that due to demographic regulations, we aren't allowed to live in Shibuya or Shinjuku. But what about the people who are forced to live outside the walls? Who will protect us from the monsters prowling out here?!

Shiho: 'So this is what Qiangwei talked about before...'

Man 1: You're just pampered high class brats who grew up in comfort behind the safety of the city walls, and then you come out here to play heroes!

Xiao Qiangwei: Shut the fuck up! 'I will teach him now!'

then everyone turned towards Xiao Qiangwei, who had a pissed off face.

Xiao Qiangwei: Do you think that just because we saved you, then you are in a position to tell us how we should do our job?!

Then hear me, I don't fucking care about what you wish, if you want to talk to someone, then talk to the government, you aren't the only one who suffered.

Everyone here have a bad past, for example I seen parents die in front of me and I can't even see my other friends, I couldn't do absolutely nothing, even if I had the power to easily kill a progenitor, I couldn't even save a group of kids from a vampire, and I am still being stronger than ever...

And I am sure that everyone in the team has their own problems.

the man lowered his head in shame while Yuu was looking at him in sadness, knowing what he was talking about at the second part of his speech, meanwhile everyone else looked at him with pity.
