Armageddon 33

"Hah hah ha" Miyuki panted as her fight with Kaosu now had reached a length that even her mechanized body has trouble coping up. "How is it that Kaosu manages to not even break a sweat. I mean he is still fighting Miyuki for a couple of hours now. And the fact that Miyuki is a cyborg should have given her an advantage in endurance. But look at Kaosu he is not panting or sweating," Sgt. Reyland said as he was amazed at the superhuman endurance Kaosu possessed. "Well, actually we don't even know for ourselves what is Boss limit is. We always saw him just mowing every zombie in our sight while also leaving some so that we can gather up experiences." Wu Ye said as he was now immune to surprises involving Kaosu. This made everyone except for Long Fei and the Headmaster look at Kaosu as if he was an alien. But while everyone can't help but feel amazed at Kaosu's strength that they have now forgotten that Miyuki is now almost drained of energy and her Zerdent Core that is making sure her body is stabilized and operating is now getting depleted at a much rapid rate than ever before.

Kaosu who noticed this now suddenly halted his attacks as he just let Miyuki punch him in the face. 'Whack!' A loud sound of skin meeting metal resonated as Miyuki's fist rested on Kaosu's left face forcing him to tilt his face to a couple of inches right. This made Miyuki's eyes widened in surprise because she finally landed a hit on Kaosu but also made her angry because Kaosu did go easy on her but still she landed a hit when Kaosu suddenly stopped and this made her furious at Kaosu for going easy on her again. "What your problem why stop now?" Miyuki monotonously said as she was trying to hold back her angry at Kaosu for suddenly stopping in a middle of a fight. Kaosu paid this no mind as he just started to point at Miyuki's chest right where her heart and Zerdent Core were located. Miyuki stopped from saying another word and just looked at where Kaosu was looking at. The Zerdent Core in Miyuki's chest is mostly hidden from plain sight as it was embedded in her skin but right now you can see a sharp blinking light was being produced at her chest. This series of blinking light was an indication of a Zerdent Core almost depleted and in Miyuki's case, her core being depleted will result in her death because this core as said earlier is the only source that kept her alive till now.

"I stopped because I saw your core being depleted and this will not end well if we continue," Kaosu said nonchalantly as he just didn't care that Miyuki punched him and shouted at him also. Miyuki who now was embarrassed went back to her original serving attitude "I'm sorry Sir Kaosu that I didn't even manage to see the problem of my body. But I also lashed at you of injustice" Miyuki said as she stepped backward and bowed at Kaosu at waist length. This made Kaosu smile at her and just waved his hands gesturing she was forgiven. "No worries bit remember in battle you must always have an idea what is your status because this will be a fatal mistake if you forgot your own body's condition," Kaosu said as he now walked forward and patted Miyuki's shoulder gesturing for her to stop bowing.

The two now faced towards the courtyard where everybody was watching. "it's pleasure you can stop the fight Kaosu. You two have been fighting since the sun was up and now it's dusk." Sgt. Reyland said as he and the others too looked quite famished. "Yes yes, I'm sorry about that Sergeant I took away the only one here that can cook. But now let's feast at the dinner table because after this may the team and I will be having a training session at midnight." Kaosu lightly smiled at the Sergeant and now shot a look at Wu Ye and Long Fei pertaining as to what he meant by midnight training. This made the Sgt. Reyland was extremely confused as to why they need to train in the middle of the night. But before he can ask the question Kaosu and others have now walked away from him, tagging along with the Headmaster and Miyuki. Leaving Sgt.Reyland with Dr.Kotova and the Researcher Kasumi. "If you may excuse us Sergeant as we may now have to head back to the clinic to assess once again Wu Bing's condition. But if you want to follow us and help you are greatly welcomed." Kasumi said as she and Dr.Kotova now walked side by side going in the opposite direction of Kaosu and others. "And what choice do I have? I have nothing to do I may as well help you girls in the clinic." The once and brave Sergeant sighed as he was now reduced to an assistant.

Kaosu and the rest now arrived at the dining room and were now sitting in their respective seats. "Now I'll leave you guys be as I help myself to prepare the meals," Miyuki said as she bowed towards them and headed out to another room just adjacent to the dining room. The others didn't bother to help her because all the equipment here in the mansion is actually autonomous and it doesn't require manual labor. All that Miyuki needed to do is give commands to Jiangong and the kitchen will bring it to order. "Now Kaosu tell me what happened to you while you were at your workshop. Your friend Kozuki was deeply concerned for you as she always requested to the soldiers heading out on expeditions to try and rescue you." The Headmaster asked Kaosu. This made Kaosu who was aloof and uncaring now sit straight up and listened to the Headmaster. "Well you see old man before the crisis happened I was working on the rough blueprint my parents gave me. And you know of the pill I was given since I was a child there was an instruction from my parents that said if I ever do finish the Sonic Blade I have to consume that pill. Then the bizarre thing happened is that after I consumed the pill I lost my consciousness for a long time." Kaosu explained as by Wu Ye and Long Fei also focused intently on Kaosu's story. "I see then if I have assumed you met your team while on your journey to here? But you never asked them Kaosu what is their purpose and If do they have anywhere to visits in these dark times." The Headmaster lightly scolded Kaosu for the reason that he just dragged Wu Ye and the rest without them asking.

"No sir we actually came with Boss voluntarily and asked him to protect us. If it wasn't for him we would have been zombies or carnage flesh already." Long Fei spoke out and defended Kaosu. "Thank you Long Fei but don't worry I know that this old man is just concerned for us because people will always look at me in a bizarre way. But to answer you old man we came here hoping to rescue Kasumi if she was alive and we'll leave the city after that." Kaosu spoke again and this made the Headmaster smile brightly "To think that in these hard times you finally have someone to call your friends Kaosu. You really have changed you may still remain eccentric but I'm satisfied that you finally have someone to protect your back not just me and Kasumi. And boys I have to thank you guys for having this child back." Headmaster Kim was so happy that he stood up and bowed to Long Fei and Wu Ye as a sign of thanks.

While that was happening in the Dining room eh other three was now in the clinic busying themselves to monitor Wu Bing's conditions. "It really is bizarre that a stone in the Redline could bring this serious impact on a human body." Sgt Reyland was amazed at the sight on the monitor that shows Wu Bing's body now was producing an aura-like form that was slowly cycling inwards around her body. "Well my team risked their lives to get these and the rest of them died while trying to integrate to the stones." Kasumi voiced out her opinion as she was now typing in a monitor on the corner of the room clearly recording every minuscule change that happens in Wu Bing's body. "And I remember that Black or Kaosu ordered you to bring all the stones here tomorrow right?" Dr.Kotova said as she prepared a syringe to inject into Wu Bing's body. "Yes, I think that brat wanted to experiment on his other teammates to see if they are also compatible on any of the stones," Kasumi said after Dr.Kotova injected Wu Bing to help her body get proper nourishment while unconscious. "What where am I?" They suddenly heard Wu Bing groggily said and this made everyone in the room stand up and rushed towards here.
