29 Mission VII; Battle begins
.
North Korea, North Ryanggaang...Hyesan..
...Few hours later...
Within a particularly large warehouse located in a rather dark and isolated town near a large river, disturbing shrill voices, and hysterical laughters resounded, and the thick negative energy surrounding the place made it resemble a house of devils...
.
The warehouse was filled with an army of devils numbering into the hundreds, with scary appearances who looked ready and taut, as if awaiting a prey.
Behind the large number of devils, multiple figures stood with a murderous expressions, while glaring maliciously at the lonely figure of the pale red haired youth who had been chained and hanged in the sky.
His eyes were hollow, his body disheveled and the large wounds on his back showed no signs of healing. His body was enveloped in a thick aroma of despair as he convulsed in the air due to the immense electricity which were traveling up the chains and electrocuting his body every few minutes.
"Are you sure he got the note missile? You know if we fail the mission, the gun devil isn't going to forgive us.."
A huge black and red grotesque spider with long sharp blades from limbs and a poisonous liquid continually dripping down its mandibles cast its abnormally large pupils towards the golden haired male who stood unconcerned and apathetic.
"Spider's right. You know the gun devil is unforgiving...I say we go get this puny human and crush him..." Another devilish figure walked out of the shadows with the figure of a gigantic bear with long sharp teeth and saliva dripping down continuously.
"Don't worry folks. I can guarantee he'll be here any moment.." The golden haired male spoke with a smirk and sat on a nearby stool, completely unbothered and unfazed even with the several monstrous creatures standing very close to him.
"And how do you know that missile?" The spider devil communicated, while another devil resembling an amalgamation of clouds with lightning sparks streaming across its body tortured the red haired youth.
"Because his massive ego and pride wouldn't let him leave his partner and run away like a coward.." Suddenly another voice sounded out, as a familiar figure walked out of the shadows; a girl dressed in a pink sweater and jeans shorts walked out with a cocky expression.
"Besides have you guys planned or put up any measures? Trust me, I've fought the guy and he's on a whole new level compared to other Devil Hunters...."
She added and took a seat.
"That's quote the high appraisal coming from someone like you.." The golden haired male chuckled and crossed his legs elegantly.
"We all know what's going to happen if the mission fails-.."
*CRACK!**BOOM!*
"Boy, you guys sure know how to throw a party.."
She had not even finished her statement when the ceiling of the warehouse shattered and a figure slowly levitated onto the ground like a God.
His short silver hair and clothes were dyed with blood, but his azure gem like eyes remained ever bright, while he sported a cocky smile.
"Told you he was going to show up.." The golden haired male smirked and stood up.
"Normally, other Devil Hunters don't receive this level of special treatment, but we had to..you know, make some preparations just for you.." He clapped his palms together and smiled towards the silver haired youth.
"Uhhh thank you very much, that really warms my heart.." The silver haired youth, Satoru Gojo, let out a sarcastic response and bowed slightly.
"We thought you were going to be a coward and escape just like the vermin you are, and leave your partner to die!!" The gigantic bear let out a deranged laughter, as Satoru glanced at Angel and let out a cold smirk.
"Well actually, it's quite unfortunate that I have to save his sorry ass. I wouldn't want my reputation to be stained after all, but on the other hand, the main reason why I came here is for your heads..." He six eyes gleamed ferociously and scanned the warehouse, while his immense amounts of cursed energy bubbled within his body like an active volcano ready to erupt.
"Quite the bold claim...anyway, you heard the man. What are you waiting for...attack!!!" The golden haired male smiled and looked towards the devils before a loud roar escaped his lips, like many explosions.
The devils immediately rushed forward like a demonic army, their negative energies forming black cloud that looked over their heads like a symbol of despair to their enemies.
'Sigh. There's a little too many of them, not to talk of those guys in the back. The only advantage I have is that they don't much about my abilities..' Satoru couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He was being cocky on purpose, however deep down he knew this wasn't a battle he could win on his own at the moment. Using the six eyes continuously for hours against the spawn of the spider devil had taken quite the toll on him, and not only did he have to fight the spider devil itself, he had to face off against the humongous bear devil, and the golden haired man, but he had fight against hundreds of other devils while trying to save Angel as well.
"Anyway, let's get this party started!!!" A small smile bloomed on his face, as his body bolted forward at immense speeds, as if distance itself was pulling him in, before unleashed his bubbling cursed energy, punching out with immense ferocity, along with the might of red and black lightning bolts.
*BOOM!*
.
Japan, Tokyo...
Devil Hunters Association, Head office..
"I'm glad everyone was able to make it." Within her office, Makima looked at the multiple figures who had taken a seat on her couch and smiled.
"The mission in Japan has entered a very serious phase or a decisive moment. Gojo Satoru a civilian Devil Hunter and Angel, one of our very best have been ambushed and are currently fighting for their lives.."
She spoke, as two of the figures, a youth with blonde hair and another with long dark hair felt uneasy.
"We've tried infiltrating North Korea, but the country has been closed down with suspicious reasons, and using one of my abilities, I've managed to control a creature and manipulate its vision.."
She stood up raised her fingers, before negative energy began to bubble in her body. Soon, a massive screen appeared on the wall, as the figures in the couch looked on with intrigue, seeing Makima wipe off blood on her lips.
"I'm okay. This is the least I can do for our hunters. To project their heroic deeds onto all so that their patriotism and sacrifice would forever be engraved on our hearts.." She smiled and sat down, as the blonde haired youth and other youths let out a nervous chuckle.
Meanwhile a middle aged man in a long brown coat with a menacing scar across his cheek couldn't help but murderously glare at Makima.
"Hold on. Isn't that Satoru?! " The blonde haired youth, Denji instantly arose from his seat, as the contents of the screen became clear to everyone.
A silver haired youth in bloody clothes decimating an unending horde of devil with his fists along with power of red and black lightning.
"Shit!!" Denji, along with Power and Himeno rose from their seats in horror, seeing their friend and teammate besieged from all sides.
"Ms. Makima. Can't we do anything to help them?! There's gotta be something!! I can't let him die!!!" Denji banged his fists on Makima's table in anger.
"Like I said before Denji. There's nothing we can do for them. North Korea has closed off all of its borders and isolated itself from the rest of the world. All infiltration from us have failed and we definitely can't intrude openly upon their country, else the only result will be war."
Makima's voice was calm, a hint of playfulness could even be seen in her eyes as she palmed her cheek gently.
"Calm down Denji. We know Satoru is strong. He's created miracles all always. Let's be patient. We all now someone like him wouldn't barge into such a situation without a plan.." Aki world somehow calmed him down, as he sat on his seat shiveringly.
Meanwhile the middle aged man silently took his eyes off Makima and returned it to the screen as shock and surprise flashed through them seeing the insane combat moves and power being unleashed by the silver haired youth.
'This is the beginning of the plan Denji. I'm going to make you watch everything you love crumble to the ground, starting off with him..'
Makima chuckled and turned her eyes to the screen with a smile.
