While Sephiroth was walking with Shin he noticed that all the important members seemed to be wearing some kind of mask while all the grunts or low level members didn't. Many of the members were glaring at him, especially the ones wearing a mask but none stopped them.
They finally arrived at some kind of confidence room and sitting across the room was a pale man of narrow build with short, shaggy auburn hair, parted to the right. His eyes are thin, their irises small and gold. He is known as Overhaul or Kai Chisaki the captain of the Shie Hassaikai.
Shin walks next to Kai and whispers into his ear and then steps back standing to the side of Kai. "It's nice to meet you Sephiroth, I'm the leader here. You can call me Overhaul, Shin here has told me the reason for your visit. Please have a seat so that we can talk." he gestured toward Sephiroth.
"I'll get straight to the point I want to know how you make the quirk erasing bullet, what will it take for that to happen." The duo were mildly stunned at how blunt Sephiroth was by they got over it quickly.
"I can't just let anyone know the secret for something like that, you would have to swear loyalty to me and the yakuza."
"I see, as of right now I can't do that due to the current job I'm working but what if I offer my services to you for 3 missions of any kind free of charge for learning the secret."
'As long as I find the secret that Sombra wants, what's three little missions for the yakuza.' Sephiroth thought making sure to kind a cold expression on his face.
"Give me a moment." Kai then had Shin lean forward and they talked in a whisper to each other.
"What do you think Shin, do you believe it is worth the risk of showing Sephiroth how we make the quirk erasing bullets."
"Normally I would be against this but someone of Sephiroth's skill set owing us 3 missions free of charge isn't something to easily pass up. We could even use one of those missions to take out some of our competition or secure certain resources." Shin whispered back.
"Hmmm that is something to think about, give me a moment to think about it. While I don't want to share the secret as you very well know, what Sephiroth is offering to us can be quite helpful in the future." Kai and Shin spent the next couple minutes discussing it while Sephiroth just quietly sat there waiting for them to be done.
"Alright I have decided that we will take your offer of the 3 free missions as long as you swear that you don't reveal the secret to anyone."
"I agree" he said while he thought 'I'll do what I want with the information'
"Good then if you follow Shin here he will show you the way"
"If you would please follow me Sephiroth." Shin then gestured for Sephiroth to follow him outside.
"I'll be in touch Overhaul, I'll leave a way to get a hold of me with Shin here before I leave." To which Kai just nodded his head. While he watched the duo leave 'I wonder how he will react to meeting Eri, it shouldn't be a problem given the kind of work that Sephiroth does. You don't kill as many people as he does and still have a heart after all.'
Walking down into what seems to be the lowest floor of the building Sephiroth is led to a doorway that has a sign on the outside but what confused Sephiroth is the name that was on the door, it said Eri's room.
'Who or what is a Eri, is the secret because of someone's quirk or something.'
"If you would kindly stand out here for a moment, I will only be a moment then I'll come back and let you know when you can come in." Shin said and then walked inside and after a minute or so came back and gestured for Sephiroth to it was okay to come inside now.
Sephiroth was honestly shocked at what he saw inside. Just with a quick glance around the room he could clearly see that this is the room of a young girl. There was barely anything in here but the bare necessities and a few toys here and there it was honestly kind of sad and depressing to look at.
"Sephiroth this is Eri, someone very important to the process of creating those special bullets. Eri here has a very special quirk that will help us cure the disease known as quirks in the world isn't that right Eri." Shin asked Eri while looking at her.
Eri is a small girl with bluish, off-white hair, messy and unkempt, which is parted in the middle of her forehead, almost reaching down to her waist. She has very wide, innocent-looking eyes, which are bright red in color. Poking out from the right side of her forehead is a small, brown horn, which grows larger when her quirk is activated. She's wearing a plain, short-sleeved dress, which is a dirty, pale tan color. Bandages are wrapped around both her arms and legs, stopping at her wrists and ankles, underneath which she is shown to have numerous scars.
'What the hell is this guy talking about, quirks aren't a disease at all, what are they doing to this little girl that requires her help.'
After getting a good look at Eri he noticed how scared she was and all the wounds on her body. Once Sephiroth looked into the red eyes of Eri something in him felt a connection to her a kind of kinship. Much like Eri, Sephiroth was also experimented on as a child and treated like a product instead of a person.
Sephiroth keeled down to Eri's level and gestured for her to come closer and put on a kind smile on his face trying to show her that he wasn't going to hurt her. Eri showed clear hesitation before she decided to come closer, something in her told her that she should get closer to this man.
"Hello there Sephiroth onii-chan, my name is Eri." she said with a clear stutter in her voice showing just how scared she was right now.
"Hello Eri, I wonder if you could answer a quick question for me." Eri nods her head to him "What do you do here?" Once Shin heard this he gave a look toward Eri from behind Sephiroth telling her not to tell him the truth. But Eri knew that subconsciously if she was to ever get out of here then she would need Sephiroth's help so she ignored the look that Shin was giving her and answered Sephiroth's question honestly.
"Oh ummm well Overhaul tells me that I'm special because of my quirk. It helps him rid the world of the disease known as quirks is what he told me and that by using my blood he is able to do that." She says while grabbing her arms that are covered in bandages.
"If you don't mind can I take a look at one of your arms." Shin makes a gesture to tell him no but she continues to ignore him and raises her arm while looking away scared of seeing his reaction.
'I'm scared what if he doesn't help me after seeing my arm and thinks that I'm a monster like everyone else tells me that I am. I don't know what will happen to me if this onii-chan doesn't help and the looks that I'm getting from Shin are scaring me' Eri thought
Once Sephiroth got a hold of her arm he saw Eri flinch at the contact but she didn't pull her arm away from him. He slowly unwrapped her bandage and was disgusted at the amount of wounds that were on her arm and this was only one of her limbs. They all looked like they never had the chance to properly heal and the proper treatment was never done to them making it so that if they ever did heal they would leave scarring on her skin.
"*cough* Sephiroth since you found out the secret I believe that it is time to leave now." Sephiroth though didn't respond to Shin and continued to hold on Eri's arm and did something that know one had ever done for her; he showed her true kindness. Sephiroth cast healing on not only the arm that he was holding but on her whole body wanting to take care of all the wounds on her leaving behind a clear undamaged skin something that a girl of her age should have.
'What is this pleasant feeling coursing through my body, I feel so safe and warm right now' Eri thought unaware that Sephiroth was healing her but when she turned and looked at Sephiroth's face she finally saw the kind smile on his face and that is when she knew that Sephiroth is the one providing this pleasant feeling to her. When she looked down at her arm she was shocked because all of her wounds on her arm were visibly healing themselves right before her eyes and they no longer hurt like they usually do.
After a minute or two Sephiroth finally stopped casting heal on Eri when he saw all of the wounds on her arm disappear. "There Eri, how do you feel now?"
"I I I feel good onii-chan, thank you." While Shin was shocked at what he just saw happen in front of his eyes and was amazed that Sephiroth had a quirk that allowed him to heal others. He knew that he had to report this to Overhaul as soon as Sephiroth left this could change everything and let them draw more blood from Eri now meaning that they can make more bullets.
'Good to know that she is feeling better now, I don't care about what consequences I have to face. I'm taking Eri with me, no one deserves what she is going through at such a young age not if I have anything to say about it.' Sephiroth thought essentially sentencing the yakuza to death because of what they have done to Eri.
"Eri, would you like to come with me." Both Eri and Shin were shocked at the question that Sephiroth asked but before Eri could answer him. "Now what just a minute, what do you think you are doing? You can't just take Eri with you otherwise…."
But Sephiroth just ignored what Shin said and kept his smile on his face and looked straight into Eri's eyes "I can take you with me right now you just have to tell if you want to or not." With tears forming in her eyes at hearing that Sephiroth will take her away from this hellhole.
Eri didn't even trust her voice right now and just nodded her head to him "Good" As he rubs her head gently "Now I need you to do something for me Eri, I'm going to need you to close your eyes for me and don't open them until I tell you to okay, can you do that for me Eri?"
Nodding her head to him, she then does what he says. Raising his free hand up to his earpiece "Sombra I'm going to need you to disable all cameras near this area and block all communication as well and redirect all nearby heroes to somewhere that isn't anywhere nearby."
Hearing a clear whistle on the other end "Wow Sephiroth what are you going to do that requires me to do all that if you don't mind me asking?" she says while she starts typing on her gauntlet doing what she was asked of. "A massacre Sombra and I don't want to draw any attention to myself."
"Alright well you're good to go and since you're going to be killing everyone I'll let you know if anyone escapes and track them for you so that you can kill them later. Have fun out there, don't forget to take a shower before you come back." Sombra then ended the connection for now.
When Shin heard what Sephiroth said he got a cold sweat on his whole body 'What did he mean by a massacre, I should quickly warn Overhaul.' Shin then tried to quietly back away to the door but sadly he wasn't destined to get out of this room alive.
Sensing that Shin was making a break for the door, Sephiroth used his superior speed to appear in front of the door blocking Shin from making a break for it. "Now Shin where do you think you are going?" Sephiroth said with a cold expression on his face.
Backing away from Sephiroth slowly "Why are you doing this, you're supposed to be on our side. So why would you kill everyone here?" Shin asked activating his quirk on Sephiroth wanting to know the truth.
Noticing Shin's quirk being used on himself again "It's simple what your doing to Eri is something that I just can't allow to continue and the only way to make sure you don't try and do something against me and Eri in the future you and your group will have to be eliminated." When Shin heard this he knew that he and his organization were done for Sephiroth was a top tier killer and with the element of surprise on his side he could kill everyone before they would be able to put up a fight against him. The only ones that could possibly stop Sephiroth were a select few in the organization.
Not wanting to go down without a fight, Shin attempted to pull out his gun on his waist but sadly he wasn't fast enough. Sephiroth not wanting to waste anymore time on Shin quickly punched forward with his fist coated in lightning and stuck right where Shin's heart was. Once Sephiroth hit Shin the man was sent flying back across the room but before the man even hit the wall he was already dead. The high amount of electricity that passed through his heart by Sephiroth's punch not only crushed his chest it also exploded his heart due to the electricity killing him instantly.
'One down, now I have to get Eri out of this building as quickly and quietly as I can.' Walking up to Eri. "Eri you can open your eyes now but don't turn around okay only look at me."
"We are going outside now but I need you to listen to me okay"
"I understand onii-chan"
I'm going to carry you in my arms and I want you to hold on tight to me and close your eyes and I'll let you know when to open them again okay. You don't have to worry it won't be for very long okay." Sephiroth then picks Eri up and unleashes his black wing.
When Eri saw that wing she had stars in her eyes. "Onii-chan are you an angel meant to save me?" the pure innocence in her voice when she asked this made Sephiroth give her a small smile in return.
"You could say that I am an angel of sorts."
'I'm an angel alright, an angel of death.' he thought not wanting to tell her what kind of angel he really was.
"WOW onii-chan" you could hear the clear excitement in her voice.
"Now we can talk about this later, close your eyes Eri and when you open them next we will be outside okay." Eri then did what she was told and tightened her hold on Sephiroth.
Sephiroth then summoned his sword with his free hand ready to cut down any people got in his way toward the main entrance. 'Time to get to work been a while since I had to kill so many people.' Then Sephiroth sped off out the door and down the hall ready to kill all that he saw.
