Hasegawa hatte sich niemals vorstellen können, Hilfe von echten Syndicate-Hackern zu bekommen. Bis dahin waren ihre Faähigkeiten nur ein urbaner Mythos, der aus Spaß erzählt wurde. Kerr überzeugte sie, dass es das Beste für die Kinder war, und natürlich, dass Hasegawa unschuldig war. | Hasegawa hatte sich niemals vorstellen können, Hilfe von echten Syndicate-Hackern zu bekommen.

It may remind you to the umbilical cord between mammal mothers and their newborn - with the obvious difference that the plant's cloning is asexual reproduction. -- They are naturally able to do this.

===A winged lion falls=== | |||
[Saomi takes revenge for her killed friends. Griffin's anti-Daodan taskforce committed a massacre in their hideout years ago. In the end it was burning down. The taskforce manipulated the fire extinguishing system so that the skyscraper burnt completely and collapsed. She and Muro were the only survivors.] | |||
TCTF hospital. Night time, 23:55. | |||
Grim faces look aroud the corners, hand signs are quickly given. | |||
A moment later drones falls from the sky. Cameras sink their dead heads. | |||
The district darkens in a blackout. | |||
Armed crowds of men flow into the entrances areas. | |||
An heavily armored black van has stopped by and opened its doors. | |||
Saomi and two more red furies has arrived and it seems they brought every thug of the city with them. | |||
Whoever unlucky fellow is inside the building. He won't it make out alive this night. | |||
The crowd is just standing, waiting for the final command. | |||
Saomi shouts. "You have all seen his face. Get me his man and the TCTF will be no more." | |||
The hospital emergency generators get online and light shines again inside. | |||
A swarm of heavy weapon bullets storms through windows and doors. The first clip of everyone has been emptied. | |||
The last shell's echo dies on the road - a moment of silence. | |||
Rifle get reloaded and Saomi speaks up one last time. It's not much but all that it needs to tear down that building. | |||
"Now." | |||
Black streams flow into the build. | |||
Searching. | |||
Killing. | |||
The furies on the other hand already know Griffin location. They know the number of gurds. They know their tracking signals. | |||
Traton made sure for that. | |||
Saomi is walking straight into his room. | |||
When they shoot the last guard, she talks the man that is tied to bed by medial equipment and his own physical weakness. | |||
The two furies place herselves next to the door. Saomi checks the time. | |||
Griffin watches them. And they watch him. | |||
The door opens and a thugs hands over two jerricans. | |||
Saomi spreads the content of the first one all over the room. The furies helmet camera records everything. | |||
One jerrican is left. She walks towards Griffins bed and pours it all other him. When she douse it over his head, he begins to fight back. She flinches back for a moment just to ram the metal vessel into his belly. She presses her arm into his throat and empty the rest over his head. | |||
She heads back to the door as Griffin is skewing and gasping for air. He falls off and takes the cables and tubes and machines with him. He spits by the disguisting taste. | |||
Saomi: "They say everybody has to atone for their sins." | |||
As Saomi disappears in the night you can see Griffin's room burning. "Send the material to Traton. - Proteus will spread in all regions untel the WCG is now more." | |||
---- | |||
Ryu is pissed by this sudden turn of events. He is no friend of TCTF or WCG either but the blind raging could end their lives as well. He and Zeref plan to take in Saomi when she returns to the HQ. "We need to get rid of those radical elements." | |||
===When a new light shines, a shadow dies=== | |||
When Kimura and Sakura visits Tokyo, he gets recognized by some old Yakuza. He sits down, the men behind him keep standing. | |||
"You should have stayed in the states." | |||
"Does it help when I say I'm retired?" | |||
"Miss. Would you please go and wash your hands." | |||
Saomi nods slowly. | |||
"I cannot let you go. Your very existance has become dishonor to all of us. And this unholy alliance with the Syndicate and Gov, we reject it." | |||
Kimura tries to clean his hands. But they remain dirty. "What about my wife?" | |||
The boss gives Kimura another napkin. | |||
"Just you." | |||
"Ok. -- I'm ready." | |||
They take the exit to the backstreet. | |||
One Yakuza has followed Saomi and places himself in front of the door. She looks at him irritated. The gun hand is covered by the other, waiting. | |||
The two hear a single gun shot from the outside. They wait some time for certaincy. The Yakuza holters his gun in the suit and leaves Saomi without a word. | |||
When she exits through the main entrance, the red sun light is blinding her. But in the flares there's a figure. She gets closer and recognizes a familiar face. | |||
Mukade exits the restaurant with Saomi. "Let's begin a new life." | |||

The bioc under their shoes began to boil too. Heavy smoke spread over the battle field and grew dense. The energy cells of Nishio's modified graphene shield exploded under the heat and pushed a discharge through the highly conducting-made gases. Light. Everywhere. It took massive amounts of energy out of this mess. In a shock reaction the materials turned into a blue-colored [[wp:Aerogel|aerogel]] imprisoning all combatants. Except for the core. A felt eternity - just a minute for the outside world - after changing the aggregate phase Mukade, Daya and Nishio managed to break free. Their bioc aerogel had a more glass-like strength, giving in to their combined force. Daya: "It's over Mukade, I have it under control now. The bioc will do no more harm." | ||

This is a block that I came up with 4 years ago but I couldn't image using it for Oni since it looked totally unrelated. That has changed with the other sequals after Mind Seal. | This is a text block that I came up with 4 years ago but I couldn't image using it for Oni since it looked totally unrelated.
