章 45: 300+ Years

Nephilim and his partner are looking at the shook mini-platoon of HFF soldiers. The crew is still gripping their sheathed SunSwords, except Katsu. He is finishing the last bit of tape on his sloppily finished wrapped ankle.

Daisuki gives an angry look in the direction of the man but avoids EyeEngaging with him.

Daisuki: "I had a feeling it was you and your 'Particle Eye' once I saw the unnatural way the clouds were forming, Nephilim. The size of the lightning strike is definitely larger than the last time I saw it. So you were finally able to control where it lands?"

Nephilim(smirks): "I'll just say I grew stronger MY way. So now the better I can 'see' the target, the easier it is to make a connection between their upward leader to the downward leader I've created in the clouds above them. But that alien monster was so up there, I guess I 'mistakenly' hadn't taken it's height into consideration."

He gives a cocky smile at the group and points at Itsuka. The woman glares at him but Saku is especially ticked off.

Nephilim: "If I were you, I wouldn't trust that tall glass of a protein shake over there Dice. I bet she didn't tell you that shes been spying on you?"

He looks at Itsuka but she avoids EyeEngaging.

Nephilim: "She also left unannounced while under contract with the 3 'Sisters' and they are noooot happy with her. No not one bit."

Saku: "She told us the whole story already, now how about you get your feather duster hair outta here? Those three can't buy me, I want them to know the feeling of money not solving a problem of their's."

Nephilim tries to hide a smile.

Katsu: "Who are you?!Dice!? Is that your nickname for my Big Bro!? Itsuka's our friend now and we're linked on this mission!"

Shelly: "Katsu, quiet down. Don't talk to creepy strangers like him."

The intimidating man then begins to laugh, and laugh more and more manically. His partner with the top-knot is not taking their eye off the other side. Once the hitman stops laughing he wipes a tear out his eye and catches his breath.

Nephilim: "So you ARE actually acting like a 'mentor' to these kids. You really do think 'steering right' three measly lives can atone for all those lives cut short, solely because of your existence, Dice? If memory serves me right, you still have 300 or so more years left of your sentence."

Saku looks at Daisuki.

Saku: "D, what's this punkass talking about? You got convicted for 300 years? I thought you were a soldier?"

Nephilim(doesn't let Daisuki answer): "He WAS a soldier you whore's son. But your 'Big Bro' here ordered attack fire, as well as participated in firing military weaponry on a building. It resulted in the killing of hundreds of civilians inside, children included."

Daisuki: "Nephilim!"

Nephilim: "Aye, aye, aye calm down Dice. As you'll find out in a bit, I'm not someone who is unfair with information I give."

He gives an elbow as if in on a joke with his partner, the partner doesn't acknowledge and is still locked on the other group. Nephilim then looks at Saku.

Nephilim: "In his defense, shit stain, he didn't know there were civilians inside but they were warned the terrorist organization they were hunting might set a trap to affect the public reputation of another country's soldiers in their country. Your mentor rolled the 'dice' and he rolled snake eyes. Someone had to take the blame and in the end, your precious role model even confessed in military court in front of everyone, including Gray."

He looks at a now mad Katsu and Shelly.

Nephilim: "So the lowest value is already down huh? And he's being protected by the one who has most potential value, depending on how the bidding war goes between those perverts. Take notes on their distinguished features up close, Silpheed."

His disciple nods in acceptance.

Daisuki(through grit teeth): "Nephilim, why are you here? I don't need any more of your hints."

Everyone, except top-knot, flinches as Nephilim holds a hand out in front of his partner. Silpheed slightly raises their shirt and Saku unsheathes his SunSword.

Nephilim: "RELAX, delinquent!"

He is handed cream colored papers, folded in half. He unfolds them to reveal that they are regular magazine size papers. He smiles at what he''s reading and looks up at the group.

Nephilim: "No matter how much good you do after this alien dragon apocalypse started Dice, it will never erase what you did before it. But I guess this new sentencing is more than just poetic irony. Well students, I work directly underneath the 3 'Sisters" that own and control the society within those mountains. You can imagine anyone who works directly for the richest of a functioning society, can expect proper compensation in return for completed assignments. Depending on the importance of the task, the more beneficial to the worker, such as myself.(He looks at Itsuka) Sometimes it's not a task that needs to be completed, but a rare item that someone desperately needs to have in their life to give it meaning or happiness. People like those out of touch business clowns, don't think beyond the power of money and how to control and gain with it."

Itsuka gives him an angry glare.

Itsuka: "I've told those greaseball 'Sisters' they were only as safe as much as they could buy safety. We think the same way but you continue to work for them. Why?"

He smirks at the beautiful light skinned woman.

Nephilim: "Because, unlike you my dear, when I see an opportunity, I snatch it. Since their bank accounts are essentially infinite WITHIN those mountains, I just have to play those self entitled shitheads like a fiddle..."

He holds up one of the papers and it is Daisuki's old mugshot from his convict days.

Underneath his picture in big red and black lettering:

WANTED TERRORIST.

Mina Daisuki

Dead OR 'Their Eye'

$1,000,000 Reward

Nephilim: "...and 'invest in some stock' of this little group of orphans you've seemed to assemble here Dice."
