The search begins
Continued from Kronii's PoV
We ran towards the entrance where A-chan's scream was, there we saw Matsuri laid down on one of the main lounge's sofa. Choco-sensei was treating her injury.
Her full name is Yuzuki Choco, she from the 2nd gen of the JP branch.
And then there's Yagoo himself, he's the CEO of Cover Corp. The one responsible for Hololive.
Choco (JP): The wound's not deep but it did a lot of damage... 4th degree burn I believe possibly a 5th or even 6th... I'll see if I can find anything to patch it up.
Choco ran away looking for her med kit.
The other members became worried sick, especially her genmates.
Me and the rest of holocouncil went closer to Matsuri and Yagoo.
Including MYTH...
Yagoo (JP): How did this happen Matsuri? No, who did this?!
Bae (JP): Yeah tell us! Whoever it is won't escape the punishment of the COUNCIL!
Calli (JP): And I'll make sure that they will suffer before they die!
Matsuri (JP): I-I-I-It was a-a....
Yagoo (JP): Take it easy Matsuri, we need to know so that we can tell the authorities.
Bae (JP): Authorities?! NO AUTHORITY STANDS ABOVE US!
(*Cough* Except the Emperor *Cough*.)
Yagoo (JP): Girls please-
Kronii (JP): No Yagoo, we're doing this our way and there is nothing you can do about it. Matsuri is our friend and will make them pay.
Yagoo stood there in silence, I could see he was hesitating.
Matsuri (JP): A-Actually you guys...
We all looked at Matsuri.
Matsuri (JP): It-It was just a stray shot... I was walking down the sidewalk when there were 3 people mocking another guy saying that he was just some cosplayer.
Amelia (JP): A stray shot?
Ina (JP): And the person turned out not to be a cosplayer?
Matsuri: N-Not exactly... He bumped into them and forced him to apologize or they'll beat him up... Then he beaten the three of them first before killing them...
Sana (JP): So it was in self defense...
Matsuri (JP): Yes, one of them pulled out a knife...
Choco then came back with her med kit.
Choco (JP): This'll hurt a bit, but it should patch you up before the ambulance arrives.
Timeskip brought to you by the Emperor beating the shit out of the Chaos gods
Kronii (JP): And what exactly did the person who shot you use?
Matsuri (JP): I-It was a rifle...
Fauna (JP): But aren't the military the only ones to have rifles?
Matsuri (JP): It w-wasn't an ordinary rifle... But a laser one... The shots were able to just tear off limbs and when the person shot the last guy, the laser was able to go through and hit me.
Kronii (JP): Wait a laser rifle you say?
Matsuri (JP): Y-Yes...
Kronii's mind: Then that could be guy who shot me when I tried to place Ame into an eternal suffering...
Matsuri (JP): B-But I think he's not a part of the mafia...
Ina (JP): How are you certain?
Matsuri (JP): His appearance... He didn't wear anything like an ordinary mafia member would wear.
Yagoo (JP): So it's a man. What does he look like and what does he wear?
Matsuri (JP): I wasn't able to understand anything when they start speaking english. But after the person killed the first guy, I was able to see who he was.
Matsuri gulped a little.
Matsuri (JP): He looked like he's in his early 20's, half American and Asian...
Bae (JP): That doesn't help much!
Yagoo (JP): Baelz shouting at her won't help.
Matsuri (JP): He was also wearing something like armor on his chest, shoulder pads, and a helmet all were colored green and he wore a green tainted beige uniform.
Amelia (JP): Anything else? Something more standing out?
Matsuri (JP): Oh! Y-Yes!
Gura (JP): H-Hey now... You're saying it as if you're revealing something-
Matsuri (JP): There was a golden two headed bird on the helmet.
Kiara (JP): What?
Sana (JP): That doesn't sound-
Amelia (JP): It's him...
Gura (JP): H-Huh? Ame?
Amelia looked towards me.
Amelia (JP): Do you remember anything about him Kronii?
I tried to remember what it was.
Flashback
A helmet with the two headed golden eagle.
Flashback end
Kronii (JP): It's him...
Yagoo (JP): Amelia, Kronii who is this person?
Amelia (JP): He is the person I accidentally drag along when I escape from Kronii.
Kronii (JP): And next time I won't let you escape...
Amelia (JP): And he is the one who ruined Kronii's clothes... And shot at her...
??? (JP): He shot at Kronii?!
??? (JP): He must be really dangerous... He didn't hesitate to kill someone...
??? (JP): But he tried to help Ame-chan.
Yagoo (JP): Amelia, I want you to explain fully.
Amelia (JP): Yagoo, I'm sorry... But I don't know his name or who he is truly.
Calli (JP): What do you know about him?
Amelia (JP): I-I don't know anything else... Except for him being called "Guardsmen".
Yagoo (JP): What year is he from?
Amelia (JP): The 40th millenium...
A-chan (JP): 40th millenium?! That's 40,000 years in the future!
Amelia (JP): Aside from that I don't know much more...
??? (JP): Maybe I can help.
Omega alpha, she was supposed to be a part of the EN branch with us.
Yagoo (JP): Omega, can you do that?
Omega (JP): Since he is the only being called by "Guardsmen" I can try to tap into his history of life.
Amelia (JP): I won't do that...
Omega (JP): Don't worry. It's going to be okay.
Omega then starts to use her powers and closes her eyes.
Ethereal realm
Omega PoV
I was expecting to be in this "Guardsmen"' mind... But where am I?
??? (EN): Who are you?
A voice echoed right behind me, I turned around to see a man sitting on some kind of golden throne.
Omega (EN): I should ask you the same thing. Who are you?
I could see him move his arm, gripping a sword beside him.
??? (EN): Do you not know WHO I am?
His voice boomed throughout the surroundings, I can feel myself weaken from this being's aura and power.
Omega (EN): Who are you?! Why do you hinder me?!
The man then stands up from the golden throne and I could see him clearly.
A man with long brown hair, dawned in golden armor, a massive claw for his left hand, and wielding a flaming sword stood towering me. His aura was that of dominance and power.
Emperor (EN): I am the Emperor of Mankind. I am the master of mankind. I am the one who leads the Imperium of Man. And I am all of humanity.
His power was nothing compared to mine... His was powerful, stronger, and more than a gods power would... Is he truly a god.
Emperor (EN): Now tell me. Why are YOU here.
Omega (EN): To... Find out who this "Guardsmen" is...
I can feel his aura become more powerful, as if he was furious at me.
Emperor (EN): What do you want with the Guardsmen?
I couldn't muster a reply as I fell on my knee's from his powerful aura of a god.
Emperor (EN): Enough. For now, I shall show you mercy. But never harm my Guardsman. Do you understand?
Omega (EN): Y-Yes...
I used the last of my powers to exit this realm, especially from him.
Back with Kronii
Omega suddenly fell to her knees, I could feel she was weakened somehow.
Yagoo (JP): Omega! What happened?!
Omega (JP): I... Encountered someone...
Bae (JP): Who is it?! Is it him?!
Omega (JP): No... It's someone else... A man... Who is also a god...
Amelia (JP): W-Wait... I think I know who that is...
Yagoo (JP): Speak. And Omega, get some rest and replenish your power.
Amelia (JP): A man who is a mortal but also a god... The world where the "Guardsmen" come from worships him. He is called the Emperor.
Kronii (JP): How do you know this?
Amelia (JP): I took the time to learn about things there before you showed up. They worship the Emperor as if he was a god, soldiers like him were instructed to also give their lives for him...
Kiara (JP): That's just awful...
Calli (JP): Can only imagine if he bumps into the Yakuza.
??? (JP): That's not gonna happen. And I won't let it.
It was Kiryu Coco, she's from the JP's 4th gen.
Coco (JP): I still have my contacts, I'll let them know to steer clear of him if they spot him. Or if it's useful, take a picture of him.
Amelia (JP): Yes! That is a good idea.
Kronii (JP): I'll need a photo of him as soon as possible.
Matsuri (JP): W-What are you guys going to do with him?
Kronii (JP): He could be dangerous Matsuri, if someone as simply bumps or simply insult him could make him kill a person. Then that is a bad sign.
A-chan (JP): So you're just going to send him back?
Kronii (JP): It's already too late, he had just killed three people and we don't know if he'll go for more. Plus he could be useful.
Yagoo (JP): And how is a kill on sight soldier will prove to you useful Kronii?
Kronii (JP): Well, Yagoo you see...
I smiled to him.
Kronii (JP): I heard you need a bodyguard~
Everyone (JP): EEEEEEEEHHHHH?!?!
Everyone was shocked at my words.
??? (JP): Y-Y-Y-YOU WANT HIM T-TO BE OUR B-BODYGUARD?!?
??? (JP): I don't like the sound of it... He's scary!
Ame looked at me.
Amelia (JP): I'm glad you're not going to tear him up to shreds.
Kronii (JP): Next time I am not going to be merciful.
Fauna (JP): You did well listening to me.
Kronii (JP): Oh shut it will you.
Yagoo (JP): There is no way he is going to be the bodyguard for the girls. Besides we need someone who is experienced and well trained.
Kronii (JP): Yagoo, I am offering you a soldier from the very FAR FUTURE as a bodyguard. He might just be a grunt to some empire but he could be a veteran of a war we will never see.
Yagoo (JP): I'll think about it... In the mean time, take care of Matsuri.
As soon as he said that, the ambulance arrived.
Matsuri (JP): Finally...
Choco (JP): They really took their time.
Timeskip as the paramedics haul Matsuri on to a stretcher and into the ambulance.
A-chan (JP): I'll tell your followers you're having a rest.
Matsuri (JP): Thank's A-chan...
Coco's PoV
I watched as the ambulance then leaves.
Coco's mind: I should call him now...
I pulled out my phone and went through my contacts, I still had his number.
Coco's mind: I still have his number.
I pressed call on the number, but for some reason he didn't answer immediately.
Coco (JP): Kusoo... Pick up damn it...
Meanwhile, the same sidewalk where Matsuri was shot.
Two dead bodies littered the sidewalk, one having a stab wound from both ends of his chest located right where the heart is. The other had all his limbs blown off.
And we see standing over the bodies.
A Guardsman of the Cadian Shock Troops.
Guardsman Rhodes.
Rhodes (EN): By the Emperor what the fuck are wrong with these people.
Rhodes PoV
I was walking down the walkway trying to find the girl who I accidentally hit when I met these two guys.
At first they were polite, but since I didn't know jackshit what they were talking, they got agressive and threatened me and all that. Bastard even pushed me.
And so that happened.
Rhodes: It hasn't been a mere 4 hours nor a day since I got here and I already killed 5 civilians... I am so getting shot by the commissar.
*RING RING RING*
Rhodes (EN): Huh? What in the name of the Emperor?
I walked to where the noise is.
I stopped at the dead body that the noise was coming from. I rummaged through and found something rectangular.
It was those devices that the other civilians used to take a photo with me. I think I hear them say that these are... Phones?
There was picture of an orange haired girl with horns, and text on the top that I don't understand. There were also two buttons, one green and one red.
I pressed the green one first.
Then a girls voice came out.
??? (JP): OI! What to you so long dummy? Were you annoying other girls?
Rhodes' mind: Damned! She speaking another language.
I stayed silent.
??? (EN): Helloooo~
Rhodes' mind: She speaks English too?
Rhodes (EN): Uhh... Hello?
??? (EN): Huh? Who's this?
Rhodes (EN): Just a man passing by. I found this "Phone" on the floor.
??? (EN): Oh... Okay then...
Rhodes (EN): Who does this thing belong to?
??? (EN): It belongs to my friend. And who are you?
Rhodes (EN): Why do you want to know?
??? (EN): Because we can meet and you can give it to me and so I can give it back to my friend!
Oh... So the guy I killed was here friend.
Rhodes (EN): I don't think I can...
??? (EN): Huh? Why not?
Rhodes (EN): Well you see... it's not my fault that your friend wasn't paying attention, he should take care of his things better.
??? (EN): Yeah, he's clumsy sometimes.
I looked at the corpse.
Rhodes (EN): ... I think he was...
??? (EN): Was?
Rhodes (EN): Look, I don't have time to take care of things that aren't mine so if you want to you can pick it up yourself.
??? (EN): Then why do you have his phone?
Rhodes (EN): I just heard it make noise.
??? (EN): You're going to leave it at those lost and found right?
Rhodes (EN): I think I'll just place it back... He might come back later and get it himself.
??? (EN): Y-You're kidding right?!
Rhodes (EN): Ma'am I don't joke. He might come back and find it himself.
??? (EN): You can't be serious! You jerk!
Rhodes (EN): I can be worse than that... And last time I check your friend was just fine... I think.
??? (EN): What do you mean?? YOU LIAR! YOU DID SOMETHING TO HIM DIDN'T YOU?!?
Rhodes: Well... Yeah, he's dead. But to make a point he did it first.
I gently place back the phone and walked away, yet I can still hear the screaming.
??? (EN): YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!! YOU HEAR ME?! HELLON?! ANSWER ME DAMN IT!
Coco's PoV
I looked at my phone for a moment before ending the call.
I gripped hard on it and then threw it so hard it broke into pieces.
Coco: MOTHERF***ER!
