[ Geoji, Petorozu and Otamizu's training, as well as Geoji's trials has been finished for today —

They get back to the Van, to get back to the Professional Omni Slaying Team Building, to rest.

But..

Zyrinthia's Incident keeps going...

Bento, Sniper and Sorzio are there, to stop the gang and their likings..

With whatever they have. ]

Bento : Guys. I recommend you to leave, I...

I will hold them off.

Sniper : Are you serious right now..

Sorzio : We ain't leaving

Sniper : And you aren't at a good state either...

*Sniper tightens his grip on the katana and walks in front slowly*

Bento : Sniper No... You will get hurt..

Sniper : Shh....

Corruption Omni : Well it seems your team has sparks of hope and kindness. Heh..

Gluttony. You can rest.

Haros, *He stares at him*

*Haros nods*

Haros : *He jumps and lands on the surface, on the road...* ..You may be not my target, but it's fine, let's see how you will prove your points..

*Haros pulls out a katana too*

Corruption Omni : Woohoo!!

*He claps his hands*

A battle of katanas?!

..Interesting..

*Haros cracks his neck*

Haros : Come on bud. Bring it in.

*He takes a stance*

Sniper : I was trained how to use a katana or any sword even when I was a kid...

*Sniper carefully raises his katana and moves towards Haros-*

Haros : You gotta show me then *Smirks*

*SNIPER suddenly goes with a sharp turn to the left-

/SWIIINGGG--/

A SWIFT, SUDDEN MOVE-!

/-TCHANK--!/

BUT-

Haros with his reflexes, moved back and parried-

ALLOWING HIM for A HIT, SEEING AN OPENING TO THE LEFT SIDE OF SNIPER'S BODY*

/SWWWIG-!!!!/

/TCHANK-/

*From now on they START,

SWINGING THEIR KATANAS, LEFT,

TOP, RIGHT, ROUNDED SWINGS- PARRIES,

BLOCKS--

/DAAANGG!!-/*

*They CLASH THEIR KATANAS,

NOW THEY SHOW WHO HAS BETTER STRENGTH...*

Haros : You don't lie I see..

Sniper : I don't need to-

*Suddenly Sniper feels some weight- MORE AND MORE pushing him back---*

Gh-

Haros : Having trouble in clashing I see...

*Sniper gets kicked back, as they continue swinging,

Haros' style in using katana is more sudden, unpredictable and wide, While Sniper's is more precise and shows more discipline and persistence.*

Haros : Heh- I've a few scratches here and there...

Yo' handling is pretty good.

..Hmph..

How about you Join us heh?

Sniper : Absolutely Not. *He swings his sword precisely- but gets parried*

I already have a few goals.

And im not evil.

Haros : Evil-? Who said evil.

Well, what are your goals then-

*He swings to the side wildly*

*Sniper merely dodges*

Sniper : I am working at POST, cause some close ones died from... something... and happened as everything went blackout literally... my eyes went dark.

*Ching CHING--*

Only their bloody skeletons were left somehow there..

*CHING*

And I serve for two reasons-

*SWINGGG*

If I get a chance to kill whatever that was, and also, Protect any life, and prevent from living anything bad, like I lived.

Haros : Well, we could help you with that..

Sniper : Not even in a thousand years.

*CHINGGG-- ///THEY CLASH*

Haros : Did you know..

Your boss IS a Murder, of Innocents!

Sniper : Bullshit.

*Sniper punches Haros' face*

Haros : Hmph-...

*Haros drags his blade across the asphalt, sparks flying, then lunges.

Sniper turns his blade sideways, deflecting with precision*

Corruption Omni : We GOT an IMPORTANT notification Haros. COme on, leave 'em for now.

We gotta go.

Haros : *spits on the ground*

Alright then...*he hits Sniper's head with the handle, kicks him in the stomach and backs off..*

Sniper : AGhhh-

Haros : Nice chat...

but remember...

why waste your neat little cuts and clean swings? Power ain't about control...

it's about breaking free.

Sniper : YOU AIN'T GETTING AWA---?!

*Sniper GOES TO CALL THE BLACK PANTHER OMNI-*

*BUT RIGHT THEN HAROS THROWS A SMOKE BOMB right on him---!*

*Sniper coughs-*

Sorzio : *runs towards him* Sniper!! You good?!

Sniper : Im... *breathes heavily* Im fine.

[ Bento, Sorzio and Sniper, they get back to Professional Omni Slaying Building.

Right now, it's night.

Civillians get back to their homes, as some supporters comes from POST, to clean Zyrinthia and fix as much as they can.

They wear the same suits. ]

Officer Lean : Clean the whole place boys..

*As he gets out of the POST cleaning Van*

*One of the cleaners come, Cleaner Vezz, he has pink hair and eyes*

Vezz : Sir, im really tired today... my..

Officer Lean : Whatever has happened to you and your family, it's your problem, we are here to do the job done, ok?

Cleaner Rock : Sir I found some.. weird grey cigarettes on the ground!

Officer Lean : Great job, whoever finds these bring it here on the bag.

Vezz : *sighs* Okay...

*Cleaner Vezz walks to the distance, far, a shadowy place...*

Vezz : Smells weird here..

*He steps on blood*

Vezz : What happened here...

*Right then he heard a sound to the right, in a alleyway...

He goes to investigate*

Vezz : ....What is there... *He grabs his broom tightly, while walking closer to a trash can*

HmM?!-

*BEHIND IT, THERE WAS A DEAD BODY blood splattering everywhere, his organs out.., AND A GUITAR EATING HIM!!?*

Vezz : Wowowo---!!?

*The GUITAR HAS AN EYE and some limbs,

IT SUDDENLY JUMPS ON VEZZ*

Vezz : WHAT THW F#CK?!

Guitar Omni : Huh-... owh.

*He gets anxious and scared*

Vezz : This thing CAN SPEAK?!

Guitar Omni : Wait wait don't worry, I..

I just heard some of your past human..

Vezz : What- what do you mean heard?!

Guitar Omni : Im the Guitar Omni, I recognize sounds, and once I touch someone speaking, I slowly hear his life, or some moments at least.

Vezz : That's- that's amazing...

Guitar Omni : Your father killed himself huh?

Vezz : ....

Guitar Omni : Huff, and you are here doing this depressing ass job.

Vezz : ....mhm...

*The Guitar Omni touches Vezz's forehead*

Guitar Omni :..And your dream as a kid is to be a popular k-pop STAR?!

Vezz : How did you-

Guitar Omni : Hmph...

Vezz.

Vezz : A... a pact?!

Guitar Omni : Yes yess... a pact.

I want you to quit this job, and join us, join the gang of Corruption Omni.

We are free-birds...

And I'll accomplish your dream to be a famous...

*Vezz stands there thinking, as he watches the town's ruins, and then at his broom...*

Vezz : Welp...

Fuck yeah.

*The guitar Omni looks at Vezz*

Guitar Omni : Amazing choice, Vezz.

Your life will change for the best..

Now, Grab me and look me at the eyes...

*Vezz grabs him and looks at him at the eye*

Guitar Omni : And now...

Say... this :

Vezz : *Closes his eyes..*
