Mercy

"Found you." Gojo grinned and aimed his pistol at a building.

*BANG!*

A bullet with a blue aura surrounding it crashed into a building. Gojo smirked a little.

"The drone operator is dead!" Gojo reported and deactivated his Byakugan.

[Byakugan Lvl 5

Range increased by 500 meters

Normal eyesight improved]

Suddenly, Gojo felt that his perception has changed. He felt that observe things in greater detail and can see further without his Byakugan activated. Gojo nodded.

"Good. I'm getting stronger. Now I should focus on my Chakra Manipulation skills. " Gojo thought to himself and guided his Chakra to his four limbs and infused Chakra into his machete.

" Now I need to get them to lvl 10. " Gojo muttered and walked over to Amiya and the others.

"Dokutah, what were those eyes?" Amiya arrived beside Gojo and asked him. Gojo smiled.

"I had them since I woke up. I call them the 'Byakugan'." Gojo answered truthfully. Amiya pouted.

"Doctor.... Are you hiding your powers from me?" Amiya asked him with a pouty face. Gojo laugh nervously.

"Maybe. But I promise you that I only had my new powers when I woke up." Gojo told her. Amiya crossed ger arms.

" You have to tell me everything when we get back to the landship. Everything to me and Kal'tsit. " Amiya looked at him sternly.

" He's getting handled by her. " Matoimaru commented. Flamebringer snickered.

" What if I say no?" Gojo got close to her face and stared straight into her eyes. Amiya blushed and looked down shyly.

"T-then I won't say anything! If doctor wants his powers to be kept a secret then I won't force you to reveal your powers." Amiya answered truthfully. Gojo laughed and ruffled her hair.

"I'll think about it." Gojo told her and looked at Dobermann.

"We're clear. Oh wait." Gojo activated the Byakugan and sighed.

"There's more enemies heading our way. I swear they're very desperate." Gojo muttered to himself.

"Who are they?" Dobermann asked him curiously. Gojo looked at her with an irritated look.

"They're using dogs, Dobermann. Fucking dogs." Gojo replied. Dobermann growled angrily.

"Those sick bastards! I can't believe they, they..." Dobermann growled.

*Bark! Bark! Bark!*

"Those beasts...Were they Reunion's doing...?" Guard asked her. Gojo nodded.

" Reunion enslaved infected beasts to use as troops..." Amiya answered.

" No, it's not that simple. I can feel it, they...Are no mere beasts. In fact, they're more like us..." Dobermann replied. Amiya went silent.

Gojo reloaded his pistol. " We'll give them a merciful end. It's the only way. " Gojo told them. Ace nodded solemnly.

" Boss... " Guard looked at Ace for a second opinion but the man's mind is already set. You can't change it.

"Kroos. Amiya. On me." Gojo ordered and the three of them went out of the alleyway again silently.

Gojo looked at the front of him and saw a swarm of rabid dogs sprinting towards them in fast speeds. He raised his pistol and started firing bullets.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

He, Kroos and Amiya kept firing at the dogs. Amiya raised a shaking hand and fired a dark ball. The ball tore through the dog and left a giant hole in its body.

[Marksmanship Skill Lvl 7]

Gojo shot a dog in it's chest. It whimpered and fell down. Gojo shook his head and kept firing.

After a while, there was no more left. There was only a pile of dead dogs littered on the ground. The trio went back in the alleyway.

"Mission complete." Gojo told them. Dobermann nodded solemnly. Amiya looked down and clenched her fists. Gojo wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"Hey bunny. Don't worry, they're not in pain anymore. They're resting in doggy heaven now." Gojo kept comforted her.

" Are we doing the right thing? Did we do the right thing?" Amiya suddenly asked him.

" I.... don't know... " Gojo answered. Dobermann stepped up.

" The harsh truth is Amiya. We aren't, we kill people Amiya. From whatever viewpoint our actions are considered immoral." Dobermann took a breather and continued speaking.

" But the Reunion. They're massacring innocents. That's even more immoral than our actions. It is our duty to stop this from happening. No because we get a paycheck afterwards, but because this is the right thing to do. " Dobermann added. Amiya looked at her.

" But is it really the right thing to do? " Amiya asked again.

" Killing is never right. But if it's the only way we can end things, then we have no choice. Reunion won't stop until Ursus is in shambles. We will stop them no matter the cost. " Gojo told her. Amiya nodded and looked at him.

" I'll do my best. Sorry for being so naive, Dobermann, Doctor Satoru. " Amiya apologized. Dobermann shook her head.

" No, sometimes it's good to be naive. But unfortunately this isn't a great time to be naive. Shall we continue? " Dobermann asked Gojo. He nodded.

" The Catastrophe is already looming over us. It's likely to break at any moment. Even Chernobog will be reduced to rubble under its direct impact." Ace reported.

" Reunion is taking advantage of this to sow even more chaos" Amiya muttered and sighed.

" Dobermann, we're out of time. We might be able to outmaneuver Reunion or stay concealed from Ursus, but we're powerless in the face of a Catastrophe." Ace told her but she raised her hand. Ace stopped speaking.

" That's enough. Let's go. No matter how reckless Reunion's plans are, the most important thing for us..." Dobermann looked at Amiya.

"...is everyone's safety." Amiya ended the sentence. Dobermann nodded and smiled a little.

"That's right." Dobermann muttered.

"Reunion's leaders may see this event as a sign, or even as a means... But for me, it signifies that we will be in greater danger from now on." Amiya told everyone.

" Choosing a time like this to incite chaos...

Reunion is either insane, or just evil." Ace muttered. Gojo chuckled.

" How about a bit of both, Ace? " Gojo asked him. Ace smiled a little. Gojo then looked at everyone.

" Hey! Get ready! We're moving out again!" Gojo called everybody. They nodded. Once everyone was prepared, Gojo nodded.

" Let's get a move on! " Gojo ordered and they started moving. They bowed their heads when they passed by the pile of dog corpses.

Amiya looked up to the sky.

"It's getting darker and darker.

It's as if the clouds are pressing into the skyline...The air still feels clear, but the dark clouds aren't moving. It feels like all the stress is being compressed into a single point. Even the wind has stopped..." Amiya reported. Dobermann narrowed her eyes.

" No doubt about it. A Catastrophe is about to befall this city. By the looks of things, Chernobog has been completely paralyzed by Reunion's attacks. But when it comes to disabling a mobile city, the preparations must have been made several weeks in advance. Could Reunion have taken some other action since then...?"Dobermann asked herself. Ace shook his head.

" That's a bit unrealistic. Based upon what we've seen, Reunion currently doesn't show the kind of discipline required to stage a covert takeover." Ace replied.

" Most of them are taking their anger out on the Chernobogians. " Gojo added.

" It's all just senseless fighting, killing, and arson.... " Amiya muttered.

" When the Catastrophe falls, even the impregnable Chernobog will be shattered...

...and turn into Originium-filled ruins. If fame or fortune is what they're after, Reunion is doomed to failure....

To be continued....
