Chapter 05- [ That's when it happened! ]
-America-New York-
-Ram POV-
Jannu and I were in the middle of a date, when it happened. We we're enjoying our time in the Brookfield place when the 7th floor of the place was consumed by an explosion. Quaking the whole 8 floor building. We were at the center of the first floor, when debris fell into the clearing. As those large pieces of concert fell. I reacted instantly, pushed Jannu out of the danger zone and started devising a rescue plane.
I actived my 'phase 1- speed mode', which is basically me at Mach 0.65, and observed as everything slowed down. I noticed about 15 people in the center and ran to them as quick as sound. I couldn't control my 'phase 2 - sound mode' very well, so I devised a root of straight runs that can help me save them. And at that movement I ran.
I ran like a madman in zigzag movement and successfully took all the people away from danger. And right after that I reached Jannu and where she took the people outside in an orderly fashion, this was all done flawlessly. But I couldn't stop there, as there were more smaller explosions taking place through out the building. I couldn't understand what was going on, my best guess was a terrorist attack. Though, I doubt it's the correct one.
'It's not that I doubt it, I just don't want it to be true. '
Then, I started running again, saving people where ever I went. While i was doing that, I made sure the people that I had saved didn't see me. It would be troublesome otherwise. I had managed to get all the people from 1st to 7th floors down to safety, as in the outside.
By the time I had done that, the building collapsed due to the continuous bombardment of powerful explosions. The building collapsed on me but I was not hindered, I jumped up through the rumble, up to the the 8th floor. At least what was supposed to be the floor, the building itself was down. Collapsed to the ground, one could tell...what was left of life in the leveled building was probably, not there anymore.
But was not one to give up. I started concentrating to hear the slightest sounds in my vicinity, in an attempt to find strugglers. And I was able to find two heartbeats and breathing sounds not far from me, it was covered in debris. I swiftly travelled to the location. I proceeded to lift the debris and then I saw the presence of two people. And the scene itself made me want to puke, but I held on.
There were two people, one a female child and a male man. The man was positioned above the girl, he was probably holding the debris from hurting her. What made me want puke was the fact that, his body was riddled with holes from sharp objects, his spinal cord was angled awkwardly to the side. It was abused beyond belief, but still he was live.
When he looked at me I saw hope in his eyes, not for himself. I could tell he was more worried about girl. He opened his mouth after a second to speak, but was unsuccessful. His throat was crushed, after all.
"Is she your daughter? "- I was shaking from... I don't know. I was shaking from worry, grief, anger. I didn't know.
Then he nodded and looked at his daughter one last time before collapsing on to the floor... Dead. That man deserved respect... He held up debris weighing tons with just his body to save his daughter. And then I puked all my stomach's contents.

'Now that I have collected a small armanda of prisoners. Master can start the first stage of his plan. '- I thought while looking at the 40 prisoners that I had gathered. Of course, there were more than forty prisoners in prison. But I only found potential in these one's.
And the remaining are dead. I decided to blow up the furthest building from here to divert attention and I chose the most crowded one. And my plan was successful, I had went to the prison silently and killed the useless junk and bring him people with talent. This was all to please my Lord. As work here was done I wanted to check up on the destroyed Brookfield place.
"Stay here, you weaklings. I have something to do. "- I speed up and reached the collapsed building in a few seconds.
And what I saw shocked me. From what I could sense there were only 3 casualties from the incident and no one was injured.
I then looked for the cause, and found a young man in his sixteens carrying a small girl calmly. From what I could tell he was the reason behind the failure of the plan. The plan was to bring prisoners with potential and also to kill as many people as possible on the way.
I had formed explosions to kill and also to distract the police from becoming an annoyance. But those plans were foiled by this boy. I wanted to get rid of him, but I could tell from his presence that he was stronger than me. Thus, I retreated to inform my Lord.
This boy was trouble and must be dealt with immediately.

- America- New York-
-Jannu POV-
When Ram pushed out of the way, I knew that something was going on and I was instantly on guard. And I was proven right as the building started collapsing. Ram was rescuing and dropping people off at the main gate. So, I took the burden of taking them outside in orderly fashion. When all of us were outside, due to Ram's help, the building collapsed.
Ram was still there, although I was worried I knew this was nothing for a superhuman like him. And then a few minutes passed in silence, then I saw movement and saw Ram walking out of the destroyed building holding an unconscious girl, with a cold expression on his face.
But that's not what caught my attention, it was the man that was watching Ram from up in the air. He was flying?! He was literally flying!
'Jannu! From what I can tell he does not have food intention. '- Cho was alarmed from what I can tell.
'How sure are you of that? '- I thought.
'I'm very sure of it! My sensitivity to danger and intentions is very high. '- She sounded very sure in her words.
"It think there are other Demi's! And also that they are hostile. This is quite bad. "- I exclaimed before Ram reached me. He looked at me with a blank expression and I could see a small trail of bile on his face. Something gruesome must have happened. I should probably talk to him later.
" Let's go before they realise it's us that saved them. "- I couldn't bear to see his face. There was no joy or happiness present on his face.
" Yeah, that's probably for the best. "- I decided to talk to him after we reach a secluded location. To think something like this would happen the very first day of our trip in America.
He lifted me in princess carry and broke the sound. And we were on the top of our hotel. But we made no motion to move from there, even after he let me down. We sat there in silence.
" What did you see? "- I gently broke the silence. But he remained silent, I gently squeezed his shoulder in an attempt to show him that I was there for him.
And then it happened... The dam broke and he started crying loudly. He sober uncontrollably, I wasted no time in hugging him. He squeezed me hard, so hard I could feel some of my bones break but I didn't stop him. This was my opportunity to comfort my hero, is saved me from my loneliness.
"I....couldn't save.... I couldn't save him, jannu. I... Couldn't save that... I couldn't save that kids father. I saw... I saw him die. He.. He-"- He sobbed uncontrollably, making my heart squeeze.
" Shh! We will talk later, you can tell me later. For now just hold me tighter. Cry your hardest. Realise it all. "- I stopped him, and he cried even louder. He started screaming loudly... And then he stopped.
I locked at him. He looked at me. Then I kissed him, I kissed him with passion. I was not experienced but that didn't hold me from it. We stayed like that squeezing each other in tight hug. And then he opened his mouth...
" I couldn't save the kids father... They were in the 8th floor trapped in the debris... The father sacrificed his own body to save his daughter. If I had just gotten there faster... I could have saved that man. And now, the kid has to go home without her father. If only I was faster-"- I interrupted him with another kiss. This time a small peck on the lips but it achieved it's purpose.
"Don't blame yourself. If you weren't there today, the people wouldn't have even survived. You should be proved of your achievement, not discouraged by your failure. "- I finished passionately, I was egare to help my hero, in anyway possible.
" I- I'm not sure... "- I could tell he was not convinced but this was all I could. The remaining, he would have to work out himself. But I promised to support him the whole process.
I then kissed him again, and he kissed me back.

The mysterious man opened his book, tittled Shadow king, and started writing. And then spoke.
"Things are moving faster than last time. The 'battle of New world is approaching faster. Guess I have to intervene sooner than anticipated. "- He sighed and stoked his chin.
Then he closed the book and got up and went out of his room. Then he said-
" < Toko >"
The man's body suddenly glowed green and then he disappeared out of sight heading towards God know's where. But one thing was certain, whatever he was doing it was definitely related to Ram.

American citizens were in state of panic. Unable to understand the explosions that happened. The fact that there were only 3 casualty was good, but hard to understand and digest. Because as far as the police knew the building was packed when it exploded. But almost everyone was outside as soon as the explosions started.
Everyone knew that there was outside interference. And they were thankful. But that wasn't the only thing that happened that night, there was a mass killing incident and prison break. The police understood that the explosions were probably used as distraction for the prison outbreak.
The police were stresses and were spearding their forces thin trying to find the prisoners. And most people already formed theories that the new serial killer, this new breakout and explosionswere somehow connected. And all the people of America were already edge due to the killer now there was a new threat to their lives.
Many people decided to lock themselves from the outside world in an attempt to preserve their lives, this quite the chaotic situation in the great country of U.S.A.
Every national leader was commenting on this and startes encouraging America to solve this case fast, as they were not keen on the killer relocating to their own country.
While this was happening the man responsible for this was on a sofa, drinking wine from it. This was quite contrast to his usual behavior and then he shaped...
That's when it happened!
