-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Katamoto sighed as he walked down the dark corridoor towards the room at the end. His small horns poking out of his head he watched as the three heavily armed special force units open a round of automatic fire on him. Swinging his vectors lightly infront of him the bullets bounced harmlessly away from Katamoto, as they appeared to stop in middair and richocket to the floor and walls.

As he walked slowly towards the now reloading units. Swinging two of his vectors again infront of him more bullets rochocketted to the floor, and he kept walking along his path, his emotionless face staring at the soldiers as he drew ever closer to the fatal two metre range.

As the three men reloaded again, he stepped into the two metre range, striking with his vectors sharply the three men were immediately decapitated as blood splurted across the floor and walls, Katamoto shelding himself slightly with a vector as blood flew towards him.

With the left side of his face and alot of his clothes covered in blood, he stepped over the human remains and went through the door into the lobby of the hotel. The humans in the lobby looked at him and screamed as he walked towards the entrance, every step he took another human that was in range died, blood and guts flying everywhere as he walked through the front door and onto the cold wet street. It was about 7pm and getting dark, it was also raining very heavily wich he was thankfull for.

AS he walked through the rain the blood quickly washed off his face, and mostly off his clothes, only leaving a stain. Just like most of his life, he endlessly wandered the streets, looking for somewhere to sleep and for food.

[Seerow]

"Again... this time bring it up to 150."
The room was so sterile, the faint smell of cleaning fluids was on the air. That is if one could smell it beneath the scent of blood and metal. The man whom spoke was tucked safely behind the bullet proof glass. He and his fellows in their smug coats and casual faces, each simply working unaware of the feelings on the other side.
It was such a cold room... and the young man shuddered horribly. The cuffs had already made dark rings about his wrist from struggling. Leviathan was bound to the wall, his ankles and wrist bound by reinforced steel. Again he glanced toward the floor, his body trembling it was so cold.
On the other end of the room was a piece of equipment. A drill that was placed on a sort of monorail leading up to the Diclonius. Just by its size it was obviously designed for the mines. A drill used to break rock and stone. In what felt like seconds it hummed to life whirling faster and faster. This caused a stir in Levi he shook and fought his chains again.
"I can't.... I can't!" he cried out
Already he had been hit before, the blood loss chilled him and the pools were forming at his knees. There was no response, and the machine moved slowly toward him.
".... Father... please. I can't focus.. it hurts."
There was a stark static noise, and a mans voice came through. It was slightly muffled, but firm and almost apathetic to his pleas.
"Stop it, or it will cut you again."
He wanted to cry, already the drill had bit his flesh. Twice before it had slipped loose and struck his flesh. The memory of that agony was enough for him to force his vectors to emerge. Invisible lengths that stretched out and forced pressure against the drill. Sparks flew as it was the machine against his 'hands'. Still it wasn't stopping, the spinning had slowed but it was lurching toward him very steadily.

The men behind the glass looked to one another again. Each reading data, and some writing things down. They each idly talked amongst themselves. One stood in the center, a raven haired gentlemen. His eyes were a brightened shade of Emerald, a man Levi called 'father'.
One of his colleagues turned a moment to speak with him.
"Leviathan's limit seems to be at 100 m.p.h. Once we go higher he struggles with it, but he has been steadily improving. Tomorrow we'll be testing his velocity resistance."
The professor didn't respond, just watched a grin tucking over his lips. Though the glass was thick, they could still hear the creature on the other side scream. Fresh blood oozing from a new wound.

[Nevan]

Katamoto continued down the street of the small village, already the police had got there and bullets flew towards him non stop as the piles of bodies of people who had got to close were piling up all around Katamoto. Using two Vectors to block bullets and two to kill, he continued on his way down the street. The police ranks tattered and broken.

As he turned towards an alley, he stopped, turning behind him a man who had a decapitated arm was crawling, desperately trying to escape as he screamed and dragged himself as far away from the Diclonius as possible. Watching him with curiosity, he shot two vectors at the man, as he did saying "Don't worry, there will be little pain". And watched as his Vectors ripped the flesh of the man escaping, sending pints of blood spilling and the cops tattered remains lying on the street.

He then winced and lost balance slightly as he quickly slammed his foot on the ground infront of him to stop him falling as he felt the hot bullet slicing deep into his back. As a trickle of blood went down his back he turned to face a surviving police man who was leaning against the wall, completely unharmed. Katamoto didnt quite beleive that the man had got there and hidden himself with the surrounding bodies whilst he had been kept buisy. But non the less, the man had shot him and it hurt.

"That hurt!" Katamoto said angrily. Staring at the man with no emotion, a pistol suddenly floated towards him. Taking it with his right hand he looked at it then back at the man. Pointing it at the officer he shot, and the man screamed as a bullet tore into his stoumach. "You hurt me...Because of that i wont end your life quick for you, enjoy your last agonizing 15 minutes". And it was true, he had shot into the mans stoumach, and the man would be in agony as his stoumach acids flowed into his blood stream causing a painfull quater of an hour before he died.

He then slammed his Vectors into the ground around him, causing small cracks to where his vectors hit the ground and small shockwaves following it. With the force being enough to send him over a group of buildings to the other side of the village, he used his Vectors to softly land on the ground over 150 metres away from the street he had been on.

Wipping some blood off his right cheek with his hand he continued on his way out of the village.

[Lady Hemera]

Estelle just finished shopping and was walking down the street, when she suddenly saw a very cute shop. She looked trough the window and saw a very adorable black top. She went in bought it and went back home. She was only a few steps outside when she saw a guy 'landing' on the ground. She thought she hadn't seen it well and looked at him. She immediatly noticed his eyes..."Oh my god..."Estelle said while dropping her shopping bags. It took a few seconds before she was thinking normal again and grabbed her bags. She walked after him, keeping a distance of atleast three meters, just to be safe."...Maybe it's better to treat that wound, that way less people will notice you. Some other clothes might work to...At least if you don't want them to find you..." She said while stopping and waited for a reaction, a bit scared since he didn't seem so nice. But she still wanted to help. "Maybe...I can help out..."She paused for a bit and then continued, "Even though I'm a human..."She said quietly, almost whispering and looked at the ground. She hesitated a bit but then took a step closer, making the destance smaller, but still remaining about three meters away.

[Nevan]

Katamoto turned and faced the person talking to him. He had no expression on his face as he said "It's a bit to late for that now....And it wont matter anyway...I suggest running before i kill you." He then turned and began walking again, he seemed to be unnoticed for the moment anyway. But already people started to scream and dousins of police cars and army jeeps suddenly swirved into the square.

Military soldiers unloaded from the jeeps with assault rifles and rocket launchers, as police quarunteened the entire town. Holding his hand out he grabbed the baseball cap of a teenager running past him, and then put it on to hide his horns.

He then started to walk casually towards a store where people were running out behind the military. The news of the dead people had spread. Going into the store, he picked up a jacket and put it on to hide his wound. Hopefully the simple discuise would hide his presence...For a while anyway.

By the time he got out of the store, black jeeps appeared and swat like soldiers suddenly loaded out. Katamoto swore under his breath, soldiers from the Institute had already arrived. Then his eyes had an expression of shock as a man in a suit and glasses got out of a black car.

Katamoto watched as the man walked up to the person in charge of the soldiers and the cheif of police, who were talking. After a few minutes, the man walked away, lifting his hand in the air and flicking it forward, atleast 50 special force soldiers moved into the town. While the police went to keep the town under quarunteen the military seemed to be evacuating the area and moving civilians out of the town.

All this just to catch him? Something was wrong...and the man in the suit. Surely the Director couldn't be here...

Turning he started walking away from the special forces and civilians being evacuated. He walking right past the girl who spoke before, well within two metres, but didn't bother killing her. For the obvious reasons

[Lady Hemera]

Even though he told her to run, Estelle stayed were she was. Maybe she was brave, maybe just stubborn and stupid. She saw the military and everything happend so fast. It took a while before she realized it had to do something with him...She saw how he was hiding his horns and his wound, but she knew it wouldn't be enough.

He walked past her. She was way to close, but he didn't kill her. Probably because he didn't wanna blow his cover. She thought about it and then came to the conclusion he had escaped from somewere and obviously didn't wanna go back. She knew he wouldn't kill her as long as they were in sight of that people. Estelle suddenly came up with an idea, kinda risky, but the best and only thing she could think of.

She ran after him and grabbed her shopping bags in one hand. When Estelle reached him she grabbed his arm with her free hand and pushed her body against his. "Don't even think about killing me or stop walking, you know damn well this is your best chance of getting out of here!"She whispered at him, sounding a bit angry. She didn't look him in the eyes, scared of his reaction. She just walked with him, trying not to show she was actually kinda scared...But she felt she was shaking a little and she knew he probably felt to... She ignored it and just tried to force a smile, so they would be less suspicious...

[Nevan]

"They wouldn't suspect me if you just happened to die. They would think its someone near by since they think were lovers right now. And even then your body will cause a distraction for me to escape...But id rather not risk it right now. Im going to break away from you when were around that corner then run, if you want to live i suggest you go the oposite way"

Katamoto said as he calmly walked towards a corner. Acting natural as he went. It was annoying and uncomfortable having a human hanging on to him . But right now he had no choice. AS they went farther, a police officer suddenly stepped infront of them. "Where you think you two are going? You are in danger if you go any further please come with us to te evacuation point. I dont want to see more civilian casualties in this town!" The officer said, as he waited for them to walk towards the other civilians being escorted

[Lady Hemera]

"Even though I'm know you mean it... I'm not scared easely, so quit trying...But okey have it your way, I'll go in the opposit direction." She said a bit angry. Suddenly a police officer came towards the and told them to go to evacuation point.
Estelle paniced a bit, but didn't show. Her grip around his arm just became a bit closer. She looked at the police officer and then at him...She didn't expect him to do something and if he did he would probably kill him and blew his cover and get her in trouble. Estelle quickly though of something.
"Uhmmm...Bonjour? Je ne comprend pas...Je ne parle pas le anglais..."She said while looking at the police officer with a questioning look on her face. She knew her french wasn't great, but she saw the officer was freaking out a bit and went a bit further. "Tu comprend, mon cheri?"She asked and looked at the guy who's arm she was holding way to tight and loosened her grip a bit. Without waiting for a reaction she looked back at the police officer that was totally panicing. He tried to direct the way with his hands and was talking very slowly and loud. Estelle almost started to laugh, but managed to keep it back. She gave him another questioning look and he pointed at the evacuation point while very slowly saying, "Go over there!"
Estelle followed the his finger at looked in the direction it was pointing. "Non..."She said while pointing in the direction they were heading. The officer didn't know what to do anymore and ran away to find someone that spoke french.
"Come on hurry!"She whispered and dragged him into an alley when nobody looked. "Now go..."She said and then looked around the corner to see if she was still able to make a run for it before the officer returned...

[Nevan]

Katamoto was pulled along, not bothering to do anything to resist and let himself be pulled by the human. He then walked away when they got into the alley. But, thinking a moment he turned back to face he and said "When they realise im here and you were with me you will be torture or maybe even killed. I suggest running...now"

He said as two teams of 4 appeared on both sides of the alleys. And without warning they loaded and opene fire upon both of them, using two vectors to block the bullets at one side, he watched as they harmlessly bounced off and hit the floor. While on th other side one vector was blockin, the other flew towards the human aiming to knock her to the floor.

His last Vector picked up about 12 bullets from the floor, turning them to face a team he threw them wit his vector, each one hitting ther targets, however only two of them died. Upon that he slammed his fourth vector into the ground whilst the others were deflecting bullets. The force sending him jumping at alarming speed toward the side where 4 armed men were.

As he touched down, blood painted he walls of the alley and him as the four were immediately ripped to shreds. While he killed them, a vector picked a fountain pen out of a gaurds pocket, and sending it flying at a soldie on the other side of the alley. The pen tearing through the neck of soldier and sending him and blood to the ground at alarming rates.

With his back to the remaining soldier, he used to vectors to pick up the body of a man who had his head torn off. Playing the man like he was a puppet (his vectors the strings). The last soldier looked in horror as the body of his comrade started spraying bullets towards him. And with that, the dying scream died out as the two bodies hit the floor.

Without turning he said to the girl "They may well think your the killer and kill you on sight....I'd run unless you want me to do the job for them"

[Lady Hemera]

Estelle looked at him with a sad face. "Thanx for helping me out there..." She said while getting up and grabbing the bags. She wanted to start running, but suddenly noticed that the back of her top was ripped. She dropped her back and despretly tried to hide the scar..."Damned...!" She said with tears in her eyes while trying to keep her top together and grabbing the bags. She started to run, but knew they would probably shoot her as soon as she left the alley. With ripped clothes and blood al over her she knew she would be suspicious and they wouldn't hessitate for a second.
Almost at the end of the alley she fell thanks to one of the bodies. She didn't scream like most people would, she didn't even care about the dead body. She even kicked it away and just started to cry. "Why do I keep getting into this mess? And why do I even bother trying? It doesn't matter if I run, I'm suspect number one..."She said while still laying on the ground and cried, not realizing he was still standing behind her...She tried to get up, but the combination of blood and her high heels made it kinda slippery, so it was kinda hard for her and she kept falling down again and again...

[Nevan]

Katamoto stepped closer to her again. Well within the two metre distance. His expression was like always; emotionless. And he looked at her and said "I can will stop them from killing you and promise not to kill you myself if you can show me somewhere i can hide out until things die down for the time being.

Shooting two vectors forward, they closed around her and lifted her to a spot where she could stand without falling. This was humerous about humans. Do them one tiny favour, and take a bullet for them and they start to think you wont kill them.

He then looked around, no other humans were on that street. So for a few minutes he were safe.

[Seerow]

There was a hustle in the streets far from them. A copter had been nestled on the common city streets backed by an almost unusually amount of soldiers. Black suits were lined with automatic rifles. Weapons not allowed by standard police force. The day seemed so happy, so bright. Birds sang and children were playing off in the distance. Blissfully unaware of the monster being set loose for the hunt.
The contraption that held Leviathan was best described as sarcophagus. An Iron maiden sort of invention. It held his arms and legs tightly together, encased in about eighty pounds of metal altogether. His hound bound in crimson stained old bandages. A mask fixed gently over his maw.
When at last the men unraveled him Levi had grown somewhat impatient. Already the man he called 'Father' was with them. His emerald orbs and genuine smile all upon the young Diclonius.
"Levi... do you remember what we talked about?"
The young man gave a cruel grin, an instinct to kill, no a need to kill. His kind needed destruction, it was how they survived.
No!
Levi winced a bit, recovering from his animalistic nature. He returned his gaze to his parent and nodded in acknowledgement.
"I will kill them all for you father... and then, and then... once I am done. You can kill me! So that there is none of us left. So that we won't hurt anyone anymore okay father?"
The boy's words were harsh.. and yet he was scared. That was easy to tell, he had lowered his head some.
Expectantly he waited for his father to say something. He wanted him to say 'No I won't do that' or something, anything! When only silenced passed between them, Leviathan bit his lower lip.
Without anymore words, the young man headed out. His first targets were the Diclonius that had escaped the facility.

[Lady Hemera]

"What do you think I was going to show you if you would've let me helped in the first place..."Estelle said and looked at him, forcing a friendly smile. "My house is on the edge of the village, outside the evacuation area...I guess you'd be safe there for now. But we need to get past that people, I don't know any other ways that lead back..." She looked at him. He was still watching her emotionless, kinda scary...
She knew she wasn't able to thrust him, he could always kill her later. But she decided she was going to help no matter what, she knew what would happen if they caught him.
"Do you think we'll make it? Or you want me to distract them or something...?She said while looking at him and then turned around. She walked towards the end of the alley and looked around the corner. She saw a guy with bright, pink hair standing with that people..."O no....I think we've got a problem." She said sounding very scared...And she actually was scared, very scared.

[Nevan]

Katamoto looked at the second Diclonius with excitement steaming inside of him. Finally he would kill something that actually had the means to kill him. But not yet. He had to bide his time and wast going to mindlessly walk into a death trap.

Not saying anything to the human, he turned and walked in the oposite direction of the other Diclonius and he armed men. He knew that by now the Diclonius would have caught him out immediately. After all a Diclonius's ability to sense each other when they were close was amazing.

Walking carefully down another street, he turned off into a groupof alley ways. It might hold an escape route

[Seerow]

"Hmmm?" For a moment Leviathan thought he felt the presence of another. He gazed offward to a cluster of buildings. When the presence had vanished he shrugged it off. His first targets were the ones he had information on.
He knew roughly the areas where number seven and the queen Lucy had been seen. After he had disposed of them he would deal with the others.
When he had passed by, a girl had seemed.... afraid? No matter he continued off anyway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mayu and Nana were enjoying ice-cream at the park. It had been such a hot day, that a cool treat was just the ticket. Nana of course consumed hers rather greedily, not quite yet accustomed to the consumption of ice-cream. She soon reached up holding her head and wincing just a bit.
"Ow!"
Mayu giggled, which was soon joined by her friend. Today was such a peaceful day the birds were out and everyone was going about their business.
"Hey Nana, do you want to go see a movie? Kouta gave me a little extra spending cash."
"Oh wow, Really?! Okay, lets-"
Nana stopped, her eyes growing wide with fear. She hadn't felt anything like this.... not since...
From the opposite side Leviathan was approaching the two. His walk was easy and non-threatening.
Nana got to her feet, dropping her partially eaten bar to the grass. She couldn't quite grasp the Diclonious' intentions. It was like.... his mind was scrambled, torn between two realities. Nana wasn't sure his intention at all and this scared her. Mayu wasn't foolishly ignorant either but her concern was for her friend.
Mayu ran out toward leviathan her arms spread out protectively of Nana.
"Don't hurt her! She's my friend!"
The young girl was almost in tears. She hadn't forgotten the battle between Nana and Lucy and the terrible price Nana paid.

Leviathan glanced to this child, she was young and naive. He lingered just watching her. Of course Nana rushed to her aid, uncertain if the Diclonius would just kill her friend where she stood. This was foolish as Leviathan's target was never a human, before Nana had much a chance at all she was being constricted by all four of his vectors.
He had to hurt her, so to interrupt her thoughts, keeping her vectors from emerging. Nana winced and groaned beneath his grasp. Mayu screamed and fell back, feeling hopeless to help her.
Drawing Nana close Leviathan reached out, his right hand caressing her face softly. Running his fingers through her hair... and lightly playing with the horns upon her head. He had never met another of his kind, much less a female Diclonius. It was odd... but Levi was somewhat curious of this creature.

[Lady Hemera]

Estelle saw a glister of exitement in his eyes when he saw they other Diclonius. He totally ignored her and walked into the opposite direction.
She quickly grabbed her bags and putted the stuff that was still usable in one bag, the smallest and easiest to take with her. She stood up to go after him and suddenly saw a gun laying on the ground. It was almost clean and there were still three bullets in...She put it on safe, took it with her and ran after him.
"Most of the alleys here have a dead end...There is no way out..."She said when she caught up with him. She had only been there once when she was playing outside with a few friends, she got lost here...But she did get out after a while..."I remembered something, there is one way. It leads to the park...It isn't very usefull, but we may be able to escape from here..."Estelle looked at him, and hesitated before continuing, "I've only been here once though, I'm not sure if I'll be able to find it again..."

[Nevan]

Katamoto listened but didnt reply to the human. Forcing his vectors into the ground two cracks appeared followed by two small shock waves. Upon wich he boosted himself up onto the roof of the buildings that made up the series of alleys.

Walking casually across the rooftops, he used his vector to slide down a fire ladder at the end of an alley. However it wasnt on the alley he left the girl on so she would have to find it herself. He didnt really care much about what happened to her. But since she seemed to be accustomed to this place he thought it best to let her come along after him.

Walking across the rooftops, he used his vectors to catapult himself over the alley gaps, and it wasnt long before the park was in site.

Hopping down off the building (his vectors helping) he landed safely. And then set off towards the trees. As he walked, he realised something. He relied so heavily on his vectors he wouldnt know what would happen if he lost them.

Unfortunately, he had been taken to the labs south of the town at the age of 6 after killing his parents. So never really understood how his body worked. However he got the feeling his horns were connected to his Vectors somehow.

[Seerow]

"... You're beautiful.. it's a shame that your a monster."
Mayu still at the scene couldn't believe her ears. Nana had never done anything to harm anyone.
"Leave her alone!"
The human tried as hard as she could, her foot flew out and struck Leviathan upon the shin. It hurt, but pain wasn't unfamiliar to the male Diclonius. He remained focus on the one she called 'Nana' a pseudo name. A human identity for a superior mutant.
"Do not worry little one... I will end this quickly and painlessly."
Somehow the younger Diclonius found the means to scream crying outwardly as her body was being crushed. Already her prosthetic arms caved inward bending at the might of the older Diclonius. One of his arms freed themselves, reaching for Nana's skull. It delved inside his intention was simple: Crush the brain quickly, and her agony will cease.
Yet there was something unexpected...
A vector, not his, appeared from her.... foot? No it was fake too! It reached up and grabbed him first. Without warning his vectors vanished and Nana dropped to the floor.
Leviathan clutched his skull rearing back in dismay.
"MY ARMS! What did you do! I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
The conversation was ended abruptly as Levi was swept aside. Nana never having the will to kill another simply launched him into a nearby bench. Wood splintered as he fell over the furniture, laying beaten and worn beneath it.

[Lady Hemera]

"Damn, why is he so stubborn..."Estelle said while she started to run in the direction he was walking on the rooftops. After a while she saw a fireladder at the end of an alley. He was the only one that could've done that since nobody else was around...To bad that if she went up the roof, she wouldn't be able to get of without another ladder or his help...And he didn't seem the typ to be waiting for her in the park.

She just stayed on the ground, running through the alleys. It didn't take long before she was in the park. She looked around. At first she didn't see him, but after a while she saw him heading for the trees.
She ran after him, or atleast she tried. One of her heels got stuck in the grass, it broke and she fell. "Why am I always the one running?"She yelled after him. She quickly took her shoes of and stood up again. She knew she was probably gonna end up with a big cut in her feet since she wasn't wearing any shoes, but just risked it. She ran after him. When she reached him she was out of breath for a few seconds. "Next time remind me not to tell you when there is an escape route near!"She said while looking angry at him. She threw her shoes somewere in the bushes and started to walk, headed home...

[Nevan]

Katamoto shrugged and started to follow her. But he didn't know why as he could just kill a family and take there home for the evening. As he followed he stopped to think a moment, then said "Your house will be searched and i doubt they will wait to question anyone found inside...Good bye"

Picking up on a jog to catch back up, he jabbed a vector towards her. The vector hand closing around her neck.
