Snippet #1075346

What happened next happened rather quickly. far too quickly for any of the mutants to really understand what was going on until it was already too late to really do anything about it. Five mutants appear at the edge of the destruction, the MTD SWAT team, and another MTD agent known simply as Reaper. "Well...looks like I'll have my work cut out for me..." Reaper says, his scythe over his shoulder, and he begins to scour the area for bodies, determining which ones might still be alive, and out of those which ones might actually live. Then, swooping in, he makes his way from one to the other, and if he finds something to horrble to have once been called human, he slashes it with his scythe, and it, and all traces and memories of it, dissapear from existance.

The others begin their job as well. A woman known as Hinder claps her hands together and sets up a large barrier around the entire mall and the surrounding area. This barrier cannot be seen from the outside, and none may enter, though those inside can leave through it. From the inside it looks like a huge, bright pink dome. Hinder, along with Bind, a younger girl who looks alot like her, begin following behind Reaper, helping those he left behind, moving bodies, and other such things. Another member known as Feather begins moving debris as if they were nothing.

Soon the area has been cleared, all rubble moved aside, all bodies that still existed accounted for. Target, the last member, holds a touch screen phone with a list of pictures and names, and if he finds anyone on the list among the bodies he marks them off and continues on, but so dar, nothing. Until he comes across the gasmask. Smiling he checks off the name Psycho from the list. Once all of this is done the survivers are brought together. Most of the mutants are gone by now, but Hunter and Romeo are found and brought to the General.

"Hunter, go and have yourself checked out by the medics..." General margrave says, before looking at his son. "Romeo...what were you thinking? Running off like that, look how many people have died because of this."

"And what would you have done?" Romeo asks. "Could you have done any better? You never caught that bastard before, but I was able to destroy him...and yes, it might have taken more lives, but if it were up to you me and all my friends would be test subjects right now!"

"Romeo, that isn't true. I was trying to gather all of you up so I could recruit you and-" the General's words stop when his son spits in his face.

"Father...General, this is the last you've seen of your son. The next time you see this face, it'll be smiling as all of the MTD crumbles around it." Romeo says, turning, flipping the old man off, and then walking towards the barrier. Target walks over and asks the General if he should take care of the boy, but the General shakes his head and watches as Ronin dissapears into the desert.
