Men with Bloodstained Swords 3

The big secret has revealed, Takamatsuke Hatteki indeed is Akagi Shinsuke who was presumed dead along with his alias Redtron.

During all this time, Akagi Shinsuke was brainwashed by certain someone making him forget all his previous life as Redtron nor himself as an individual and believing himself to be a loyal soldier of Code Phoenix.

However, his quirk of clutching his eye, which was a sign that the brainwashing hasn't fully worked and 'Akagi' was trying to come back, the capsule pill to his medication was the main reason for compressing the memories a certain kind of addictive drug which prevents him from accessing his past memories.

Though not eating the capsule for long enough caused Akagi's suppressed memory to float into surface.

Even though, Hatteki or now Akagi is collapse helpless, both Tereko and Lida do not share a single bit of concern as they clinging to solve their selfish desires.

"So, what do you explain the High Command? About Akagi Shinsuke? Be the public enemy No. 1 of the Empire."

Lida asked Tereko casually, know her secret is revealed,

"Nothing to be precious I was to watch over him and eliminate anyone who knew Hatteki's identity."

"Oh, why are you telling me of this?"

Lida grinned, still pointing gun at Tereko,

"Beside you will not live long enough to know."

Tereko said calmly, activated her Noryoku blade of a barbaric fullblade sword!

"You gun is useless against a fully-fledged Mutant, if you don't have the AM gun then your better off dead, because I intend to keep up with my mission, defending Hatteki's secret."

"I don't think so—"

Banm!

"Freeze! Put your hands in the air!"

Upon Lida's waving hand, dozens of soldiers stormed into his dinner hall, seem like Lida planned to kill both of them before the invitation. Sun Lida had to be sure, he haven't poisoned them already and he did not like unnecessary killing thus whatever the action Lida had taken is somewhat genuine, he wanted to protect his brother and also himself from the punishment.

"You see, I held my suspicious upon but I couldn't sure however that doesn't matter now."

Despite merely 12 soldiers circling around Tereko, aiming with their automatic rifles.

She happens to be not affected by it nor she displayed any sign of fear and dread.

"He's gone!"

Tereko said to Lida with closed eyes.

"What!?"

Among Tereko's notice, Lida immediately turned and found unconscious Hatteki/Akagi was gone.

"Sir what we do?"

"Go find him you idiots!"

Akagi, the real Akagi Shinsuke is nowhere to found, Lida commanded the hired men to search for him.

"There he is!"

It hasn't taken much time for Lida's soldiers to discover Akagi, silently standing still behind the dark corner, like a phantom.

"Ahhh... finally... I am awakened this is nothing just imprisoned in a cage of amnesia."

While the face covered in darkness, Akagi darkly murmured before slowly step in front of the light.

*Guns loaded*

Including Lida, his men directly aim at Akagi's shadowy figure without delay.

"For three years, three fucking years, ever since that day, my heart just couldn't accept it, those pathetic, fraudulent memories, But I can remember everything, I am, I AM Akagi Shinsuke! The Redtron, the saviour of this dying world."

"What the fuck you mumbling about?"

Lida broadly called the darkly Akagi as he drowned himself within his thoughts.

"Lida was it?"

Akagi asked vaguely, continue stepping forward.

"What is different between good and evil? Is it meant something or those instruments of our morality?"

"What nonsense you babbling, do you anything to say? Because I have lot of question, why the no. 1 enemy of the state is within Brittonia's Counterterrorism Division?"

Lida straightforwardly ignored Akagi's philosophical question, leaving for him to answer the question himself,

"Very well, my answer is to this question is, there is no such thing as evil or good, neither there is no villains or heroes. Just people living their lives and doing what they think is right, it asserts that society's view of right and wrong is determined by those in power, the history is written by the victors."

Right after finishing his answer, Akagi frowned and said grimly to the armed soldiers, ready to turn his voice into action.

"Let me show you—"

*Snikt. Long-Claws activation. *

"FIRE!"

Once Akagi's hands transformed itself into a menacing metal claws, Lida's men didn't hesitant to fire and Akagi begun his own aggression.

As the given order the hired soldiers empty their rounds, try to connect Akagi, nevertheless they don't touch Akagi's immense speed.

"Araghh!!!!"

"Oh Fuck, Fuck, FUCK!"

While firing continues, Akagi pounced into the first group, shoved his ten-inch long knife-finger right into middle Soldier's guts, thick fluidal blood spattered around when he wrenched the claws aside, slicing the man's spine into two.

The remaining, the left beside him, despite not even tried to counter, Akagi slit his body in half and thrown the right one away before crushing his head.

"Move! Get into the position, use grenades now!"

Fear and paranoia soon break among remaining soldiers as they face a brutally dreaded monster.

*Bang*

One of them, fired a hand-cannon upon Akagi but it doesn't help because his Noryoku shield brilliantly blocked it's fire,

Upon the rising smoke, with Shield, again changed into Claws, Akagi pounced right above the cannon holding soldier and stabbed right into his chest with his sprout thrashing razor-tipped fingers plunged into his flesh like butter.

"Damn you!!!"

The last soldier yelled, thrown all grenades at Akagi, hoping that would kill him.

*Bang, Boom, Boom*

Huge smoke spread throughout the hall, without recognising a fire caught in wooden hall, slowly consuming entire mansion, but the Lida and the soldier were far too busy, ensuring Akagi's demise, Tereko was long gone before the fight even began, nevertheless they did not care either.

"There, someone there!?"

One surviving soldier coughs out from the smoke, walking from a distance, been injured.

"Is he dead!?"

"Oi, answer me, is Redtron dead?"

Despite Lida and the soldier were desperate to hear the injured soldier, he didn't speak until he reached closer.

"See it yourself, you soon be joining them!?"

The soldier reached, Lida finally realised he was Akagi himself, using his Hikaru-Eye to create an illusion, personate one of his, before Lida's survival instinct trigger, Akagi attacked in the lightning speed, curved the last soldier, and split both Lida's lower leg, from knee to toe.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh noooooo!!!"

Lida fell on the ground, beside his amputated legs, blood spurts like fountain as Lida joined the among the vile cadavers, last soldier was long dead since Akagi spilt his skull horizontally, spare no chance of surviving but he intentionally cut Lida's legs, knowing he will alive for a moment and experience the hellish pain and suffering.

"Ahhh Araghh, Araghhhhaaa!!!"

His excruciating breath Lida took, he grabbed his legs agonising in pain and by his dying breath he witnessed how nefarious and callous Akagi Shinsuke can be, for the 15 trained soldiers he slaughtered, without remorse.

Despite Mutant's inherent physical prowess, Akagi have little fighting skills to fight off large physically powerful enemies head-on, instead use his incredible calculative abilities, tactical mind to solve any problem, often trades science and technology for charm, wit, political and financial acumen, and an in-depth knowledge of Mutant and human nature. While his methods are to be deceptive, malicious, calculating, cold, ruthless and utterly heartless, much prefers to manipulate things from afar or use his Hikaru-Eye to resort barbarian methods...However if he needs to fight, he will fight ruthlessly without backing down no matter how strong the enemy is, embodied with superior physical strength, speed, dexterity, agility, healing factor, he showed Lida and his men in a hard way: what happens to those who underestimate his battle prowess, Akagi maybe an effeminate pretty boy, but he has insane amount of combat skills at his disposal.

"For all years I had deceived myself from the truth, from my goals, been a pawn indeed by others, the lost time, the other memories planted within me to give me a life as one of the herds, and the drug suppressing it, kept me get addicted."

Fire slowly catch the wooden mansion, legless Lida still alive, crawling on the bloody floor towards the exit, while his desperate attempt to escape Akagi picked a fallen wine bottle and start drinking it after the cold-blooded massacre.

"You know I began to wonder what happened to your brother, to your death sure he would be sad, like any humans but to reject this phony life couldn't fit into mine I couldn't anything to him for now."
