Bad luck
Meanwhile,
Autopsy room,
Medical Department.
Adam was seen in sulking in a room. Inside the room was filled with several sophisticated and plain medical tools and equipment. Also, a classic hospital bed was seen in the room and on the bed was Taejin's dead body. Apparently, it was still on under close monitoring and testing.
"You bastard, why the hell did you have to die!" Adam thought to himself, staring at Taejin's body.
"Did you forget the fuckin promise we made. We were supposed to get stronger, so we can whoop Xavier's ass once and for all!" Adam added.
"You asshole!" He violently exclaimed.
Unannounced, Yongje angrily stomped into the room. He was immediately greeted by Adam's intense bloodlust alongside his brother's dead body.
"What happened to my brother!" He angrily inquired, slowly walking towards Taejin's corpse.
Following Yongje's entrance, were his Squad mates. Immediately Stella saw her elder brother, she wasted no time in embracing him as she began to tear up.
"He… He got killed by a Prime!" Adam stuttered, angrily fidgeting.
"It wasn't just an ordinary Prime right?" Yongje asked, tightly clenching his fists, sinking his fingers into his palm.
"Yes… It wasn't an ordinary Prime. Taejin was killed by a Colossal Prime!" Adam replied, burying his face into the floor, almost tearing up.
"Damnit!" Yongje said, violently slamming his hand into the side of Taejin's bed.
"If I had gotten they sooner…" Adam slowly commented.
"You'd been dead!" Yongje rudely interrupted, slowly exiting the room.
"Stop!" Adam said, halting Yongje momentarily.
"Why?" The saddened youth replied, fixating his attention on Adam.
"I want to give you something" Adam answered, extending his hand into his Shadow, promptly pulling out Taejin's Katana.
"My Brother's blade…. But why?" Yongje commented, obviously shocked.
"You'll need it….. to avenge your brother's death" Adam said with a rather gloomy demeanor.
Immediately, Yongje politely took the Katana, weirdly bowing to it and then attached it with his own blade.
"Thank you… I'll follow my brother's footsteps and one day, I swear I'm gonna kill the shit that killed my brother!" Yongje angrily exclaimed.
Hearing Yongje words, Adam replied with a simple nod, tightly embracing his little sister. Meanwhile, as Jeremy watched the ongoing events, he began to feel a weird but painful sensation in his head. The pain continued, as he began to feel drowsy. Alongside the painful sensation, were several random flash visions which gravely confused Jeremy. He gripped his head which was in pain and immediately got lost in his thoughts.
In his random visions, they was one thing that was regular in it's irregularities. It was the constant appearance of a woman and by the relationship they both shared in his vision, one could guess that she was his mother. At the end of his vision, he saw how the woman was brutally murder and her last words were "JEREMY!".
Hearing this, he immediately woke back to reality, totally weak and confused.
"Are you alright?" Jason worriedly inquired, giving his comrade a pat on his back.
"Yeah.. I think I'm fine!" Jeremy hurriedly answered trying to fake a smile.
"If you say so!" Jason commented.
Meanwhile,
Administrator's Office,
Main Bureau of Exorcism HQ,
Mainland, Corona City.
The office was a classic well furnished, decorated, functional office. It was two times larger and wider than Elena's office. Inside the office were two people, one who was seated at a lavished desk while the latter stood in front of the desk, carrying a large file. The person who was seated at the desk had a bright azure colored hair and eyes, alongside his dazzling earrings, bright fair skin and baby face.
The Latter individual was rather more matured and sturdy. He had short brown wavy hair, slender long eyes which had a black color alongside a purple glow with a dark fair skin. Unlike the Azure male, had a more matured face, also wearing a stoic expression which was far tenser than Adam's.
"David!" The Azure Male exclaimed, attraction the attention of the latter male.
"Yes sir!" David replied.
"I want to be certain about something!" The Azure male promptly added.
"What is it Sir?" David respectfully replied.
"Is it true that Taejin Park from The Western Branch died today?" The Azure male inquired , clasping his hands.
The Western Branch refers to New Chrisland City Exorcist Bureau.
"Whoa, I'm surprised you've heard the news. " David commented.
"I have my ways of getting information" The Azure male responded, wearing a sadistic smile.
"With your reply, I assume my informant was correct!" He promptly added.
"Yes sir, it's true. According to my investigation, I discovered that he's affiliated with your old pal, Xavier Schiller" David explained, staring earnestly at his boss.
"Hmm, Xavier… I'm sure he's about to do something really rash and unreasonable!" The Azure male said, shaking his head in disappointment.
"Do you know what killed him?" He inquired.
"Yes sir. According to the report they filled in, he was killed by A Colossal grade prime!" David answered.
'The Hypothesis just became a reality" The Azure male excitedly said.
"It few weeks ago that the first case of a Colossal prime was reported and now it's killed a Tier Four Exorcist!" He immediately added.
"That is correct sir. Most importantly, these Colossal Primes are capable of human communication. Not only that, they also bare striking resemblance with us humans" David rapidly explained, tightly gripping his file.
"Are you serious?" The Azure male asked, obviously confused and shocked.
"Yes sir!" David promptly and politely replied.
"I see, I honestly didn't know about that" He commented, stroking his chin.
"What are you thinking about, Sir?" David worriedly said, seeing his Boss present expression.
"I'm just thinking, there must be a reason all of this is happening!" The Azure male said, stroking his chin.
"I guess you're right Sir!" David responded, shrugging his hand in confusion.
" I'm saying, they must be trigger to this madness and I want to find out what it is!" He out rightly exclaimed, making him resemble a psychopathic scientist.
"Does this mean you're going to…" David said before he got interrupted by his boss.
"You guessed right, prep My Transfer letter and schedule it for this time next week!" The Azure male said.
"Alright Sir!" David said, slowly taking this leave.
"One more thing David!" The Azure male said, halting his P.A's movement.
"What is it Sir?" David promptly answered, shifting his attention to his boss.
"I need you to get anything information you can find about that kid….. Jeremy!" He said, wearing a wicked grin.
"If I may ask… Why are interested in him?" David confusedly commented.
"Isn't it obvious. He's contaminated with Mana but seems alright, aren't you suspicious about that?" David's Boss responded.
"I guess you're right!" David answered still looking confused.
" I believe that boy is the key to this mystery or I'd rather say, He's the trigger behind this Colossal crisis" The Azure male immediately replied, rubbing his hands maniacally.
"If you say so Mr. Sparrow" David promptly added.
"I do say so… Also David, stop being so formal, you can call me Gehrman" The Azure male said, as his eyes suddenly glowed Azure.
Meanwhile,
Elena's Office,
Bureau of Exorcism HQ,
New Chrisland City.
Immediately everyone in the room quietly exited, Elena buried her face into her desk, obviously trying to think of a plan to handle the present dilemma. After awhile, she noticed a familiar energy which surged into her office.
"Xavier, I know you're still there!" She exclaimed, rolling her eyes, thereby prompting Xavier's entrance.
"Are you alright?" Xavier inquired, walking towards his fiancée.
"Xavier…. I don't know what to do!" She sadly replied, almost tearing up.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine!" Xavier commented.
"How can you say that!" Elena angrily erupted, obviously confusing Xavier.
"Not everyone is as strong as you…" She promptly added before she got interrupted.
"I know, that's why I'm going to protect everyone" Xavier said, wearing a saddened demeanor.
"Are you serious?" Elena confusedly inquired.
"I know it seems impossible…. But when have that stopped me" Xavier responded with a reassuring tone.
"Alright Mr." Elena said.
"So…. How about our date tomorrow?" Xavier excitedly said, trying to break the awful mood.
"Xavier… I don't we should go on a date tomorrow" Elena reluctantly commented, shocking Xavier to his core.
"Why….I've already made plans and reservations" He exclaimed in shock, frantically waving his hands.
"I spent a lot of money!" He worriedly thought to himself almost bursting into tears.
'I just think we should just lay low and come up with a plan to deal with these things" Elena sadly commented.
"You're afraid, aren't you?" Xavier inquired as his demeanor changed.
"Yes!" She whispered.
'That's what those Primes want" Xavier said, gravely confusing an already distressed Elena.
"What do you mean?" She inquired, staring solemnly at Xavier.
"According to Scott, these Primes possess a high level of intelligence similar to ours that means, That attack was planned to create disorder, chaos and fear in our midst, making it easy for them to tear us apart" Xavier explained.
Hearing Xavier's words, Elena suddenly got lost in her thoughts trying to process what Xavier just told her, "Are you sure?" she inquired.
"I'm freakin sure, Things are about to get ugly!"
