Internal Affairs, (Mesa | Daiki)

A blazing sun hung directly overhead as the noon hour heat began to take strides through the masses of Magnolia. Women how once bundled for the crisp moist mid day heat was soon turned to more dry and skimpy outfits to better vent out their sweat and heat. Yet even with all this heat in the air one stood out among them eyes surrounded by ocean blue eye shadow and black clothing draping her body. As her black combat boots tapped over the ground she could barely feel the heat her own undead body incapable of dying through simple natural causes anymore. Her eyes shifting through the crowd she could almost feel rage tipping over the boiling point as the smoke and shadows around her blocked her vision as mages, gang members and many other fools walked their lives unaware someone could see and hear those they had killed. Screams and whispers went all around, some begged for revenge while others demanded for penance. A rare few of these shadows demanded that nothing happened to them as they felt they were not beyond redemption soft chuckles coming from her when she heard such foolish thoughts.

But these shadows were what she was after today as her own predatory collection slowly stole the negative aspects from those around her. In moments a single red eye drew in the Rage of the dead from others. In another a gaping maw ripped away the hate they felt and some simply were torn away by a simple green line of energy towards her. Yet all of this was a factor none could see and the main reason she was doing such actions had been for what she was planning. With a quick movement she would finish her collection pulling back her shades in a moment as her feet would carry her to the real destination of her day. With the clattering of stone beneath her as she leaped magnolias walls to the eastern forests a crash of feet on dry leaves could be heard as the remnants of the fall season crushed beneath her feet.

Walking in the direction she knew to be one of her Cults newest members she would remove her ebony gun Sabbath from her side slowly petting it as her book on her other side clanged it’s metal cover on her belt. As she walked she began to feel the pressure of the new recruit and a small smile would grow on her face, “There you are.” With a grab to her side she would pull out her Black Book and open the cover as red rune words began to appear on the black pages. “Oh shadows of the dead bring unto me your envoys in truest pain and suffering so that they might take their vengeance on my enemies.” In moments upon speaking her chant black writhing shadows would appear on the ground as out of one a transparent bone like blue being dripping with water would crawl out from the hole a sound almost like the struggling of a person in the middle of drowning always surrounding the beast. Setting a hand on the head of the Shade she would smile, “Bring me the new recruit.” With her order given the Shade was on it’s way to the woman fast as it could a loud and terrifying screech mixed with the sounds of multiple people crying being let out as it ran it’s way towards Ai. A small grin ran on her face as she polished her gun, “Yes bring her too me. . .I have judgement to see to.”

The sounds and feeling of her Shade passing was almost an enthusiastic feeling as she would smile a twisted grin on her face as she did so, “Good you can kill my despair~ Now let us have some real FUN!” Setting her hand back on the black book she would lift it and take a breath as she would channel magic into the ground, “Oh memories of the damned come before my call and lay waste to those who wronged you in life or who you wish to wrong, let the worst of your hate flow and consume you like a rabid animal, come to me my shade.” In moments a black warped muck would form from the ground covered in pus and blood as slowly the surface began to shift and move black mist shifting into it from all around as a twisted grin would appear on her face, “Yes my shade! Take the form of hate! Let all that see you bring upon themselves fear.” In seconds a twisted scythe like bone would mangle the opening ripping out of the hole as the monster ripped out and landed onto the ground. In moments rotten purple flesh would bubble and form on the bones as the flesh itself would begin to take the form of Ais sister’s own face all screaming with hatred for their sister before the monster itself let out a loud screech filled with a scream of rage the same as Ais sister, “Now hunt her and keep her busy.”

With a burst of speed the beast would run towards where Ai was as she would sigh and place a hand on her gun a spectral barrel beginning to form on the gun. In seconds a spectral hand would load six bullets into the chambers as it would spin them randomizing her chances of getting her shots right, “Black Bullet.” Firing the gun a loud blast could be heard but rather than a fast moving black spectral bullet a much weaker colored bullet flew out as she slammed her gun into a tree, “FUCK. . . A blank. . . Lets hope the bullet at least meets the mark or else this could get. . .Interesting.” Staring in the distance she would fire the three remaining shots in her barrel towards Ai waiting to see how she dealt with the shade first.
