Clean up

GHA or Ghoul Hunters Association is a semi-private agency founded by the United Nations, and signed into making, by a hundred sovereign states.

Due to the discovery, and alarming prevalence of Ghoul predation; in each nations around the world, the organization mandated the governments and non-government entities around the globe to sanitize these creatures through the employ of professional License hunters.

Men! Male or female are provided by each nations as professional hunters. Mostly, it is compose of soldiers and police with outstanding cognitive and physical attributes. The organization is also employing people, with skills and abilities that can be compared with the mentioned, uniformed men.

The organization is similar to Interpol, or International police that are working in the dark for the protection of the international peace, nations, cooperating on hunting down dangerous, and higly profiled criminals. In case of GHA, it is hunting and identifying highly profiled ghouls around the world.

As an organization operating internationally; it is divided by four distinct divisions in accordance to it's region of operation.

Eastern GHA comprises the some parts of Russia, whole asia and the middle east. Southern GHA are the African regions and the some parts of the middle east. Nothern GHA comprises the whole Europe. While, the Western GHA includes the Americas.

Of course, Shem has long known the organization since Erina pronounce the term. Eliza his combat AI, has mostly gathered the necessary data she can obtained through hacking the organizations' servers.

The gathered information is currently stored in Shem's quantom crystal data bank pseudo organ, residing in his cerebellum. It was kept there for reference.

Albert was proud on his job. It clearly showed, when he drew a smile and leaned against his wooden chair with confidence, after pronouncing his position in the association to Shem.

Somewhat provoke, his ex-wife butted him, with an unusual emotions steaming out of her.

"Boasting again your stupid job. A stupid job, that ruined our family!", Mary said as her brows pulled down together. Her voice was cold. Her calm mature temperament change!

She has then turned her head towards her right side, of which her ex-husband can be found, sitted comfortably. A prominent light red was painted on her mature unblemish smooth face. Bulging arteries and veins formed on her forhead. Her hands clench into a fist.

"You chose that job over our family. Please do not ever mentioned that term in my presence! Albert Dasovich."

With a surprise, Albert turned serious in his expression and a slight calmness within his heart emerged. He had already known that her former wife would be angry upon the mention of his job.

Albert responded to his wife's cold words with a still voice. His red hair flutter slightly upon the release of his words.

"I needed to protect you and our daughter from my enemies. Cutting off, our connection is the greatest direction I have ever chosen, it greatly increase your safety..."

"Shut it!", Mary shouted.

Erina and Shem look at the two person in front of them with calm expression. Their lips did not open as to respect their guest.

Noticing Shem and Erina's gaze Mary calmed down.

Aherm!

"My apoligies, Mr. Shem and Ms. Erina, for my inapproriate reactions. Rest assured that I, and my associate here, will work on that land permits, we will cut-off all the redtapes that hinders your, construction of a warehouse on that country."

Shem smiled awkwardly as he nodded in agreement with Mary's promise. He was a bit adjusting in chossing the approriate face, he would display, in front of the two arguing couples. He did not want to sour it, if he showed a wrong picture.

The midnight came in and the meeting ended with gold fruits.

Mary sat up first and politlely shakehands with Shem and Erina, then she excuse herself politely and eagerly walk home to her unit, where her daughter is asleep. Her face warp into a longing shape, as it means that she missed her daughter's company.

Albert was in a quiet mode, as her ex-wife, did not even bothered to look at him or even ask him to go together. She just left.

Sighed.

" Upset as always...", Albert look towards his leaving ex-wife escorted by her guards and assistants.

" Well, Mr. Shem and Ms. Erina, I will now take my leave. And, a piece of advise you two, choose always the family, nevermind the world's grandeus sparkling offers or ambition...because, at the end of the day, they matter the most."

Albert said with a grin. He gaze at the faces of Shem and Erina, written with contemplation from his words.

"Haha. Oh, Lastly, Mr. Shem, please be careful around Europe these days, since the whistleblower release all those grace to the internet, the hidden organizations of Ghouls were unveiled to the world. The northern GHA is busy hunting them down, but sometimes they escape and may harm more others, we are also reviewing our ranks for some parasites that burrow in, to our organization...so be careful. Anyway I will be going now. Take care."

Albert said in a loud voice complemented with a smile. Leaving the two in tranquility. As he ran after his ex-wife.

Europe, Unknown alley in Austria.

Huu. Huu. Huu.

A mask man ran in speed beyond man. His back had a conspicuous, red and black colored mass of meat, it was shape like a short wings.

"Ah! I-I promised, I will not exposed the church! Or any of the Coven! Pleasssse, spare meee!"

The man with a black pants and a brown jacket, shouted words of pleading. His mask trembled as his voice bounce from his mask.

"Orders from the bishop, eliminate all exposed assets. Sweep all of Europe clean!"

A distorted voice of mix gender, sounded above the man. The man look up to see the origin of the voice. His face then warp us he witness a flying abomination.

"Aaaah! Pl-Pleaasse, I will hide, fa-far away from here and promise to never show my face againn! No words shall come out from my mouth! Please...Dra-Draconia! Tell the bishop..."

The man shouted while he run. His voice was directed to the flying beast above him. The form of the beast was a monstrous one, similar to a dragon but much worse. It had an unusual wings that enables it to travel the speeds of sound, and has a head with ten horns.

"Elimination must be upheld. For the protection of the church."

Shoosh.

The man widen his eyes under his white mask, because the beast suddenly close in. His pleadings could not penetrate the steel heart of the monster. He gritted his teeth and fought back. His short wings extended and pointy crystals protruded out.

"Aah! Take this you fucking bitch of the church!"

Tsek. Tsek. Tsek.

The man's kagune burst out crystal bullets, towards the flying beast! However, the pointy red crystals didn't even scratch the scale armor of the monster.

Widened eyes.

"Argh!"

The man jumped and ran faster, fear engulf his body. He evaded the buildings in his way and went to a narrow alleyway, near a plaza. He hid himself with a hope to outsmart and outrun the beast.

"How naive! Did you ever think you can hide from me! Thunder burst!"

The monstrous dragon like beast grin. His mouth was sparkling with blue electricity as it prepares it's attack.

Bzzzz!

The whole alley spark with electricity. As the dragon like beast release the strong plasma power from it's large mouth. Blue eletlctrical beam flow like river in the alley.

The man?

Only dust remained of his existence.

"Finally, I killed the last one. Austria is now clean and secure."

The dragon beast landed above a building.

Upon landing the beast melted it's form and a curvaceous blonde, short haired woman appeared. Her left eye, had a pupil of red and a dark motif, her right eye showed a blue motif. She was wearing a one piece white dress. Emphasizing her curves and large breast. Her dark mask with a swirl engrave on it, hide her beauty.

"This is 37, Austria secured, proceeding to France."

She reported to her headquarters with a calm voice, using her communicator resting on her ears. She then look up, at the slightly red moon.

"No one can destroy the Church and her Covens. Thank you 37, high command out!"

The communicator pronounced greatful words towards 37.

Europe had become chaotic, because of the information leaked, months ago. For days, the authorities were skeptical of its authenticity.

But, when they investigated, it turned out as the truth. From that moment on they knew, someone or some organization had discovered and unveilled the ghouls out to the world. It had made the human authorities happy, all of the information was clear and cannot be rebuked. Hunting is very easy as they knew the identity of the ghouls.

Now the exposed Ghouls of the information leak, was killed by their very own brethren as it may harm their hidden organization. Silencing the ghouls with knowledge about the hidden organizations must be eliminated to prevent a total annihilation of their species.

Central Europe. Mountains.

"The western Coven in England, has already perished, the surviving higher rank ghouls has been rescued. Sadly, for the other members they did not make it. Because of the queen's royal hunters with the help of the NGHA, had eliminated them completly."

A woman with a red crimson hair and brown colored pupil said with an unhappy lonely voice. Her hands was trembling as she held the report. She was one of the only survivors from the western Coven.

Boom.

"That's enough my lady. Our priority now is to hide. Eliminate all the exposed assets, use our resources to suppress that information leaked and then plan the next move.", A man wearing a clerical collar clothing said.

"Agreed."

"Hear ye."

The other members present, had also responded with agreement.

The room with a stone round table was dark, there seated five well dress individuals. Their mask was put down into the table as a kind of ritual and a code. Their faces were filled with frown and anger towards their current predicament, for many years they have quite hidden themselves perfectly, from the humans in order to survive. But now, they were like rats hiding in the sewers.

"Elder of the north and east coven, reporting to the church. Our food supply well be able to sustain us for many years. Although, production is down 60%, we can still feed most of the survivng Ghouls around Europe. Our farms is well kept hidden from the eyes of that bastard whistle blower. We had also misdirected the hunting authorities or that wretched GHA, into believing that they have cleaned Europe."

A dark haired woman with a blue eyes said with anger. She was the representative of the Northern and East Ghouls Coven.

"Where is your Elder my lady?", the man wearing a clerical collar inquired.

"He is following someone your holiness, he will be missing for many months. Per his command he had task me as his deputy to represent him to the church. His whereabouts are currently unknown.", the woman responded politely.

"He maybe had found the temple, good the ceremony of the awakening well be now realized."

The clerical collared man proudly said with a smile, washing his problems out for a moment.

"Elder of the Southern Ghoul's coven, reporting. Our men has cleaned all the exposed assets of the southern continent. With the help of project 37 from the church, we have completed the job early than predicted.", a brown haired man with a cigar, reported. Smoke filled his face upon his report.

"Elder of the central Regions, reporting, we are currently cleaning up the area. It is quite difficult as the Hunters from the GHA currently occupied the strategic locations. It will take maybe a month for us to eliminate the exposed Ghouls. But if project 37, could help us, it will maybe finish early like the southern has made.", an old white haired man with a long beard said.

The clerical collar man which is probably a priest, frowned upon hearing the report. He put himself into, thinking for the request. Project 37 had a primary mission of searching for someone, but she was diverted out from her mission because of the current problem.

After a sigh, the priest approved the request of the elder from the central regions.

"All right, you can use 37. And now first of the agenda who do you think is the responsible to this disgraceful divulgence."

The priest ask as he put his hands under his chin and layed his elbows on the stone round table as he then look towards the elders like a lion.

Some of the coven elders contemplated the question. Their faces held anger as they search for the enemy.

"Is it maybe the Babylon of America? Or the Washu clan. Or was it from China's Wangliang and the Dreadful savages from the South East Asia. Or maybe the Demons of the eternal sands."

Said the man while puffing a colombian cigar. His emotions are in turmoil because his brethren were killed. He put his anger towards the whistle blower.

The priest did not agree as these organizations could not touch them to this degree.

Their intelligence network was badly damage, and could not confirm the theory. However, a suggestion came out of the questioning atmosphere.

"Maybe that man, was responsible for this, your holiness!"

A dark haired lady with blue eyes from the north and east Coven suggested with a serious expression. She clench her hands tightly, forming a fist.

All of the Coven elders look towards the woman. As if they heard hope.

"Who is this man?", they all ask!

Germany, Berlin.

Abandomed Metal Manufacturing complex.

"GHA hunters, I have found a Level six ghoul here, second floor of the building. Requesting for backup."

A black armored man shouted to his comms as he diacovered a dangerous and a higher level Ghoul. As a hunter he can only contend up to the level four. But, he steeled his heart and never felt afraid.

"Eat this you fucking demon! And die!"

Tatatatata.

The armored man brandished his rifle with bullets loaded with rc cells inhibitor bullets and pointed it towards the ghoul. The rifle let out hails of the red colored bullets. However, the bullets did not touch the ghoul with a tail like kagune as, the ghoul move fast.

Baam.

"Argh!"

The man was sent flying towards a wall. The tail of like kagune punch him at his stomach.

"Buaghk!"

Blood came out from his mouth as he received internal damage. His helmet melted down as his armor quinque took considerable impairments.

"You will die instead...eat this."

Baam.

The armored man with a middleage face rolled out from the rubble. He secured himself from taking all the incoming kagune. Promising himself that he will not die, he still had a lot to do.

He extended his hands.

"Axe of the demon hunter come forth! Sharp edge released!"

The middleage armored man shouted, his hands formed an axe from the black goo of his armor. Red light from it's edges shined as the sharpness was enhance. White smoke wafted from it's edges as the oxygen from the air meet the heated material.

"Using my brethren's kakuhu to make weapons. You hunters makes me sick, when I findd out who released those information, I will surely kill him and use his/her bones as a weapon. For now, human, you will meet your doom. Take this!", shouted the Ghoul with a smiling mask. His leather jacket and pants was stretch as to compensate the fast movements he is making.

Swish.

His kagune came out like a tail and then it attack like a drill. The kagune push down towards the armored hunter, it had an intent to kill.

Clang.

The armored hunter did not sit around and use his left arm to produce a circular shield, while his right arm redied his axe.

Baam.

"Argh! Hmm! Slice him down my axe of the demon hunter!"

After shielding himself from the incoming kagune. His right hand swung the axe with power. He aimed to cut off the kagune and finish the ghoul down.

But.

The ghoul jump back as he use the momentum of his kagune to push himself out from the perimeter of the axe. Escaping annihilation.

"Clever bastard, no matter how strong you are, I'm going to kill you. Your species should have never existed in the first place."

The armored man push his body forward and made a slash of the axe again, towards the ghoul. His words was strong.

But the Ghoul, move and evaded out the attacks. It's body twisted inhumane speeds in order to just avoid being slash down to death.

Escaping the corner of death, the ghoul planned to escape.

"Good bye. I will not waste my time here. Although, its fun playing with you but it looks like, I'm at a disadvantage."

"...Argh!"

Baam.

Chik.

The armoured man was push back and his right arm...

"Argh! Ah! My arm! Buaghk!"

...was cut off by the ghoul.

The ghoul had then turned to escape towards a door, after injuring the hunter. He gritted his teeth as his home base suffered heavy casualties from the GHA. Beads of crystal tears flowed out from his eyes under the mask he was wearing.

However, as he almost escape, fate sometimes betrays expectations.

Stabbed

"Ah, Fuck. I-I mess up..."

Stabbed. Blood gush out.

To the surprise of the escaping ghoul, a level six hunter was waiting for him. It was a monster wearing a dark armor holding a sword.

He was stabbed by the sword held by the level six hunter. He was cut off apart, by a the quinque sword, from down to up, dividing the body of the Ghoul into two parts.

Thud. The ghoul without breath died on the spot. Sprays of red blood came out and wet the floor.

The level six hunter did not idle, she then push her armored body inside, and covered the wound of his injured comrade.

"Selena, thanks a lot. I owe you this time around.", the armored hunter said while blood flow out from his arm and mouth.

"Just be quiet Mister Igor, You have quite taken a lot of damage, much worse than last month. I have to take you down for a first aid. Just as I said before, you have to retire."

The level six hunter said as she ordered her quinque to slid down her helmet, from covering her head. He look to the old man with worry. She then carried him at her back and went out of the building to an awaiting medical truck.

Sega Island.

[Hunting operations have annihilated, 84% of the list. There is a plausible chance that the remaing 16% had survive. I advise you to take precaution, as there is a viable chance that they will look for evidences pointing at you, Shem.]

Eliza sounded to Shem's head.

Currently Shem was walking with Erina towards a harbor, in Sega island. The port within was occupied by two massive ship carriers carrying electronics and other building materials.

'I know Eliza, that's why I have to prepare that cave. Oh, when do my psychological therapy, completes its repairs on my psyche? And the program I created, is it viable for controlling those devices?'

Shem ask Eliza with eagerness in his mind. He is now readying himself for a possible fight.

[90% complete, You will have to wait one more month, in order to finish your Psychologic therapy. As for the program you created, it functions perfectly base on my evaluation.], Eliza responded.

'Perfect, while I wait for the completion, I could help you build that cave faster, while ongoing with the therapy.'

[ Affirmative.]

Shem smiled as he sighed afterwards. Erina frowned and somewhat curios to Shem's sudden unusual reaction. She thought that maybe the warehouse land problem is now solved and Shem was happy.

Ukraine had a difficult policy on foreigners investing in the country. So Erina maybe thought that Shem was happy as the problems was solved. They could now expand.

Of course, Shem was happy with the business, but he was more than happy on his next move.
