Operation Superhuman (The Act: Part 3)

Kazuto- Well... So... Out of all of you, only 7 decided to let go of their pride...? Wow... Great... I guess that's all I could do... Bye~

*Kazuto starts walking out*

???- U-Umm... Mister!!

*Kazuto looks back to see a small girl*

???- I... I would like to thank you for the fake hand...

Kazuto- You're welcome...

???- I... I can help some people too...

Kazuto- Oh really? How can you do that?

Haisha- Bruh stop acting weird, are you a lolicon?!

Kazuto- That was harsh... I was just asking her how she could help the others...

Doc- ENOUGH!! This is my hospital... I should be the one to help people...

Kazuto- Oh? How are you going to do that? You don't have any mana left... They are gonna die...

???- Umm... I... I can stitch their small wounds...

Kazuto- What do you mean?

???- My ability is stitching things... My father was a tailor... I can help them...

Kazuto- Ah... Interesting... Do you stitch things using mana or other things?

???- Using my mana...

Kazuto- It doesn't have any side effects, does it?

???- I don't think so...

Kazuto- What is your name?

???- You can call me Tae...

Kazuto- Tae the tailor.........?

Tae- Y-Yes...

Kazuto- Seems pretty cliche but oh well... Have you tried doing it to other persons before?

Tae- No...

Kazuto- Well... How about you try it on me?

Tae- You don't seem to have---

*Kazuto puts pressure on his middle finger, tearing a bit of the skin and muscles away*

Tae- M-Mister!!

Kazuto- Ah... Don't worry... It's nothing much... How about we see whether you can stitch through human skin...?

Tae- I---

Kazuto- Let's not waste much time here, shall we? There are a lot of people in need of your help...

Tae- O-Okay...

*Tae puts her hand over Kazuto's hand*

*A thin translucent string comes out of her hand which she uses to try to stitch his finger back properly but she messes up and ends up hurting him more*

Kazuto- Ah... I knew it... Even if you had better control before this, having a hand you're unfamiliar with would be troublesome for you... It's better if you don't try to help the others... Atleast for today...

Tae- B-But!!

Kazuto- It's okay... Sometimes we're unable to help others... We all have our helpless times... That's what makes us humans...

Ken- Oh? You consider yourself human?

Kazuto- Ah... You really do have the best timing... You always say rough things whenever I try to act cool...

Ken- Are you a lolicon?

Kazuto- I WAS TRYING TO ACT COOL IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!! NOT JUST THE KID!!

Doc- Ken... You shouldn't be up... You are gravely injured... You need to heal using all of your mana...

Ken- That doesn't matter, does it? You know about the truth Doc... How could a leader care about his health more than the lives of his subjects?

Kazuto- Look at you acting all high and mighty...

Ken- You're the one acting like you're a good guy...

Kazuto- Says the guy who tried to kill me...

Ken- Isn't it the duty of a leader to eradicate the ones who endanger the lives of his subjects?

Kazuto- You are no longer the son of the head of the Yamada Clan... You're just a nobody now... You even changed your whole name yesterday, didn't you? You were going by the name Kazuto for days and now you're just Ken... Nothing more... Just Ken... A title-less guy...

Ken- It's not your title that makes you a leader... It's who you are deep down that makes you a leader...

Kazuto- Copying my dialogue now? Great...

Doc- GUYS!! STOP!! GET YOUR BULLSHIT OUT OF THIS HOSPITAL!!

Ken- Ugh... I nearly forgot what I was about to do... Hey doc... Take my mana...

Doc- But you need it to live...

Ken- It's better if only one guy dies here...

Doc- That's not what the guy who was screaming about saving everyone would want...

Ken- Oh... I locked him inside that cabin... He won't be coming out soon...

Doc- But you can't just die for the others...

Ken- I have to...

Sap- NO YOU DON'T!!

*Ken looks behind him*

Ken- How are you here?

Sap- The journalist saved me...

Ken- WHO---

Sap- He was standing in front of your cabin for a long time...

Ken- Ugh---

Sap- So... Just stop trying to get yourself killed... It's just suicide...

Ken- Don't you dare misinterpret my sacrifice as suicide...

Sap- Oh I will!!

Ken- Oh you won't... I'll make sure you won't...

Sap- THEN DO IT!! LIVE SO THAT I DON'T GET THE CHANCE TO!!

Ken- Easier said than done...

Doc- There isn't much time left...

Ken- I guess it's time... Goodbye world...

Kazuto- Wow... That's all you wanna say?

*Ken puts his hand on Doc's shoulder and they both get covered by a dark aura, some of which starts turning bright*

Ken- Hey Kazuto... Don't you dare do anything bad to my subjects when I'm gone... I'll make sure you regret it after you die...

Kazuto- Ah... Don't worry... You're the only one amongst us who is going to hell... I'm gonna look down on you from heaven... *Starts tearing up*

Ken- What are you crying for?

Kazuto- Well... I thought of you as a friend... So... It's sad to see my friend die... Though I respect the fact that you're sacrificing yourself...

Ken- Ah... But I never thought of you as a friend...

*Half of Ken's body disappears and Ken's eyes close and he falls down*

Doc- Seems like he lost his consciousness midway...

Kazuto- He'll just slowly fade away now...

Doc- Take him to his cabin... I'll try to tend to him after taking care of all the people here...

Kazuto- Yeah... Will do so... I don't want him dying on the floor...

Sap- T-That's what happens when someone who has been healed by doc runs out of mana?

Kazuto- Nah... He was converting his life-force to mana to give the doc as much mana as he could... He would've only lost an arm and a leg otherwise...

Sap- Excuse me as I go to the washroom to throw up...

*Sap runs towards the washroom, followed by the journalist*

*Kazuto teleports to the cabin while carrying Ken*

*Doc heals the other patients*

*Haisha helps get the patients to their beds along with some of the Abyss members who stayed behind, the others left*
