The group arrives at an alley, the doves previously following them, losing their trail. Entering. the alley he opens a cage like door.
entering the corridor, they continue down the door, closing behind them as the torches light up, surprising Mai before they enter a room.
the large room similar to the previous location she invaded with the Doves before her loyalty Changed he walks up and sits down.
"now then Mai," she stands at attention. "Yes lord," Christopher Remains silent, the pressure building "can I trust you"
She shivers. "Yes, I see the world through a more open lens. Now I know how horrible both sides are to just be on 1" he nods, affirming her thoughts.
"both have their downsides and both have their up. are closest ally is the killing- owl and the 1 eye king Arima and Eto. Respectively"
Her eyes widen. "Why those 2? " she says rather rudely, catching herself a tad too late. He stare at her. "Arima and Eto are working together, in a sense."
"both see the world as in their own words. Wrong. I never read, jack, but I bet it was something like that. " she grabs her head.,
Jack and read glitching out. he sighs the headache adding "apologizes" she nods. "What about the Non-killing owl?"
He grins. "he won't be a problem. Koto won't allow it as he probably already Kakuja. he does have 3 types of RC cells: the Ukaku Rinkaku and Koukaku.
"his Koukaku forms a plate around his chest and probably lower his Rinkaku is good for medium close or long range and his Ukaku is great for distractions."
He smiles. "He has 6 tendrils for his Rinkaku 3 on either side," she nods. "so he terrifying in his own right" Christopher nods.
"but you're more terrifying" he nods again "truly obvious Mai. Anyhow, I shall get you a weapon. You're comfortable with a Rinkaku style quinque. so"
He places his hand on his chin, thinking before a construct forms in front of him. The blade segmented like that of a spine.
"that a 36 vertebral style whip blade it can be controlled on impulse and has a semblance of sentience's it connected to your Neural network."
she nods, grabbing the longsword like blade, the Vertebral responding splitting before connecting her eyes widen, falling to her knees.
neural shocks going up her arm as her brain processes the connection the blade finishes connecting to the central nervous system.
the handle simplistic "you can change it appearance as you see fit" she nods, thinking carefully the vertebral split by 1 inch.
He handles shifting a guard, appearing over her knuckles. She lifts it, slashing it fourth as the blade sprawls out, cutting the ground easily.
Before pulling back in seconds. "It can be used as a chainsaw," she mutter seeing the teeth like damage to the ground.
"how will I holster it seem to have to connect every time? " He shakes his head. "No, it doesn't," Ako says "my blade the same way all the weapons he gift us are"
Mai stares at her. "So how do I make it like yours?" She smiles. "Give it a name." She stares at the blade carefully. "Naomi Sora"
The blade glows. Cracks spreading up it. The glow Spirals out around it bursting apart, the blade Sprawls out into the sky.
"Its like that of a tornado," Ako mumbles, the blade reconnecting into a straight blade. "wind manipulation". Christopher says. A line forms across everything within Mai's vision, even over Ako.
Only Christopher immune to it. "What is happening to my sight?" Christopher stare at her. "lesser Death eyes" he says.
"the reaper smiles upon you. Let me help you. " He pulls out a contact lens. "These are magnetic, so they can be removed with this."
he shows her "don't worry they lose magnetism over time to be removed and regain it during their time in your eye"
she puts them in unthinking. the lines disappear "you only have a lesser version so your lines would be far less than the regular version
She nods. "your objective is to be a middle ground between the 2 forces, specifically Koto and Akane" she nods. "Ako will be your guard"
"Go" they both nod leaving the facility. The girls chatting in the corridor. "So what do you think of my father?" she turns her head away.
a slight blush visible "he's Fine" she says Ako smiling "your more curious about how none of us look like him aren't you"
She glances at Ako. "Huh no, I figured you were all adopted." Ako nod "indeed the funny part is he never filled out the paper.
Mai stares concerned "cause it never existed to begin with" Ako says lightly "are friend become 1 of his Seraphim, the King of salt, as he called now"
She listens intently. "he really strong and especially broken in Purging as everything his salt touches becomes it"
Mai's eyes widen slightly. "he never around, though constantly dealing with something important. Mai's eyes go dead. "So a workaholic"
She nods. "Oh, why you go all fish eyes on me? " Mai's head wavers. "You wouldn't be a workaholic, would you? " she laughs lowly almost as if her sanity broke.
"yes an obscene workaholic. " Ako narrows her eyes. "How many hours weakly? " she smiles. "On the lowest 55 on the highest 76"
Ako shivers. "How the hell did you survive? The stress would've killed a normal human" She mumbles something "could you repeat that Mai"
"my father was a brute and my mother had insane pain tolerance and almost immunity against regular diseases. Both were investigators.
She coughs crudely. "Ahem, your Insane" she nods, agreeing a dead smile across her face. As they exit, taking up a serious expression,
The go through the contacts Christopher gave them. Calling Koto "Yo, we are meeting with Akane," Koto agrees, calling Akane.
"we are meeting up," she repeats to Akane, agrees they set the location in a common fast food place. Setting the date for Friday, Ako hangs up.
Akane and Koto smiling in their offices. Christopher stare "it begun"
