Chapter 1: Fresh blood

Three of the HOLY agents, two guys and one girl, are walking down the sidewalk at night with the sun slowly coming up. Each one of them holding an ice-cream cone: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla.

Just then, they hear a girl scream from the alley next to them. Their reaction was instant as they drop their ice-cream cones and run into the alley.

They spot a teenage girl on the ground, backing away from the shadows, her dark blue school uniform torn up, her waist length black hair was messy.

As they look up, they see two large figures consume by the shadows the woman just crawled away from.

“Jeff, come with me. Jenny, you stay with her and make sure she is ok.” The taller male of them says, the two guys run to catch the figures in the shadows while the woman goes over to the victim.

“Are you ok, Miss?” The female agent of HOLY asks as she tries to comfort the young woman.

“Yeah, I'm fine.” She replies, her voice a little shaken from the event.

“Well that’s good; they will get your attackers.”

“Good.” The young woman replies, but just then, a small, sinister grin appears on her face, her voice becomes mischievous while a rainbow glow forms around her. “I am so very glad you guys came to help me.”

Then a voice comes from one of the two agents of HOLY in the darkness. “What the...?” His voice in shock. “These are just piles of trash shaped like people.”

Then, all of a sudden an ear piercing screams that could freeze you bones comes from the men, their streams of blood strike against the red brick walls of the alley and slowly come down.

The female agent of them has a small stream of blood from her teammate across her face, a look of terror in her eyes as she saw her teammates decapitated in front of her and their body pieces with blood all over the area. Her teammate’s head’s eyes were frozen open with fear and staring directly at her. She looks up at the girl to see her arms have turned into large blades which are drenched and dripping in fresh blood.

The woman’s eyes shined as she stared at her blades drenched in blood. “It's so beautiful; nothing can't beat the sight of fresh blood from a guy.” Her voice was filled with amazement as she watched the blood dripping off her blades, but her voice then became depressed. “Pity though, I though HOLY men could put up more of a fight.”

She looks over at the female agent that she didn’t kill and walks over to her as the blood from the blades drip to show her path.

The female agent is so scared she couldn’t even move, she can just watch as the woman with bloodstain clothes walk closer and closer to her, the smile on her face was so sinister, a chill continually rain up and down the agent’s spine.

“Don’t worry. I prefer not to kill women. But as you can see I need a change of clothes, so if you don’t mind, I would like that uniform of yours.” The woman says in a chilling tone, the gleam in her eyes made the agent so scared, she couldn’t reply back.

“Come now, I might not like to kill women, but if you don’t change with me, I will cut up that pretty smooth skin of yours.” The woman says, her voice sounded like she was enjoying every minute of this.

The woman then walks out of the alley wearing the agents uniform, she spins around to admire the new clothes as she looks back into the alley. She sees the agent wearing nothing but her underwear, tied up and her mouth taped. “You’re just my size too, that was a nice bonus.”

She then skips off. Well, they might have not been so exciting, but with these clothes I should be able to find better fighters. She thinks as she skips towards the HOLY building as the sun has risen up.

“Kazuma! Kazuma wake up. We have to go to work soon.” His young female friend cries out as she tries to shake him out of bed.

“Five more minutes, Kanami.” He replies in a sleepy voice while he blindly tries to push her away, then grabs the blankets tighter to himself.

She pouts. Then, she pulls off the blankets and replies. “We have to go to work soon. So get up, the money just doesn’t fall into our laps.”

He gradually gets up out of his bed, his eyes crack open to see her pouting at him. “All right, all right.” He complains. “I'm up, what's for breakfast?”

“Cereal.” She replies. “We don’t have enough money for anything else.”

“Dang.”

“You know, the older usually takes care of the younger.”

“Yeah, well, I'm not good at that.”

Before she could say anything else, a knock is heard coming from the front door. Knowing it was Kimishima, Kazuma jumps out of bed and heads to the door.

“Kimishima, what are you doing here so early?” Kazuma complained in a sleepy tone.

“What are you doing up before noon?” Kimishima joked, but then he became serious and speaks loud enough for only his buddy to hear. “I got another job for you, this guy is paying double than your usual.”

“Sounds good.” He whispered back, he turned to Kanami and says in his normal tone. “Hey, I have something else to do, tell the old lady I won't be showing up today.”

“Wait, you need too...” But before she could finish that sentence, he already left. I just hope what ever he does, gets us some money so we can get some food. She thinks to herself.

Now about an hour has past with Kazuma and Kimishima, they are at the top of a cliff lying down and looking out at the open desert with binoculars and Kimishima’s new dun buggy behind them.

“So Kimishima, what the heck are we doing here?” Kazuma complains as we look out to see that the area in front of them is completely desolate.

As they are getting up and brushing the dirt off of themselves Kimishima replies. “I don’t get it. The one that hired you said that a large group of HOLY was coming this way to attack the nearby villages. Also the information I found confirmed it as well. Well, luckily he paid in advance.”

Then Kazuma grabs Kimishima by the shirt collar with his left hand and yells. “And how much of that money did you spend on your new wheels?”

A nervous look appears on Kimishima’s face. “Don’t worry, you will still get your fair share of the pay.”

“You better be right Kimishima, or you will be sorry.” Kazuma yells as he tightens his right fist in front of his so-called buddy.

The scene changes to Ryuho and Auska in the elevator rising up, the bright lights shine down on them as Ryuho says. “I had to pull a lot of strings to get you back into HOLY, so you better not screw this up again.”

“I won't.” He replies, the determination in his voice shows Ryuho how serious he is. “I will make MP3228 pay for his crimes. He should not be allowed to keep disrespecting HOLY.”

“You are right, he shouldn’t be allowed to keep that up, but I will be the one to make him pay for his actions.” He replies without the tone of his voice changing the slightest, yet anyone can tell the mention of Kazuma really ticked him off.

The elevator stops, but as it opens their faces are filled with horror. The main room is covered with blood; on the ground, walls and ceiling. Body parts of most and only their male teammates were hanging all over the room; their faces frozen in fear as their eyes are stuck open in terror, staring into the obis. Auska throws up off screen at this horrific sight while Ryuho sees a closed, closet door shaking. After Auska finished up, the two walk over, past their decapitated teammates and trying not to be overwhelmed by the horrid smell and step in the pools of blood that now seems to cover the entire floor like a red carpet.

The two are at the door, Ryuho slowly grabs the handle and twisted it open.

At their surprise, Scheris falls out into Ryuho’s arms. She looks up to him with tears pouring down her eyes. “Ryuho, I'm so glad that you are ok.” She says to him, her voice trembling from fear.

“Scheris, what happened here?” Ryuho asks in a panic, the dreadful smell of his dead collies consume his senses.

“Did MP3228 do this?” Auska jumps to a conclusion. “This is a new low for him.”

“No, it wasn’t Kazume.”

They look behind Scheris to see Cougar lying down on the floor of the closet, his uniform torn up and bandages soaked in blood covered his arms, legs, and most of his chest. “It was a girl who did this.” He answered in a weak tone of voice.

“How did she get past security?” Ryuho asks as he focuses his eyes into Scheris’s.

“She was wearing a HOLY uniform; they just let her walk in without a second thought.” Scheris replied while tears continued to pour down her face. “It was so terrible, she killed so many so quickly. And what was most terrifying of all, she enjoyed every minute of doing it, she kept thinking allowed on how much pleasure she gets from looking at the blood of her victims all over her blades. Please hold me close Ryuho.” She then wraps her arms around Ryuho and cried into his uniform.

“But who did this? I want to know who!” Auska yells, but the tone sounds tells he is becoming sick from the smell of the room.

Cougar replies, while trying to stay awake. “She called herself, Alter User Sword Hunter.”
