“Do you guys know each other?” 

“Ammo-san just wait here for a minute.” Masashi leads me out of the store. Now that we’re outside I wonder if I should take a run for it. Or should I fight him? “Follow me vigilante.” We started slowly walking towards a secluded are pretty far from the store.

“What did I do?”

“Stop the act. You’re talking to Masashi Mayumi, Astrum’s right hand man.”What!? When did he get that promotion!? “Your name is Daitan correct?” 

“How’d you know?”

“Kiya is one of our researchers. He has to supply us with stabilizers and we supply him with info.” Damn it. I guess it was only right for him to tell them. Looks like I only have one choice. 

“Daitan Yukimura.”

“Huh?”

“Daitan Yukimura is my full name. I am the son of Daichi Yukimura and brother to Mya Yukimura.” 

“Why are you telling me all this information?” I press the small button on my backpack and it turns into my executioner katana. I raise it behind his neck and harshen my tone.

“Because I’m going to kill you.” Masashi smirks at my comment and his suitcase turns into a greatsword. I slash my katana at his neck but he vanishes behind the blade. He’s fast. I’m gonna have to find a way to counter his speed somehow. 

“You’ll be an easy target for me.” Masashi swings his greatsword at my arm and I barely dodge, leaving a small cut. “I’ll be able to make Astrum proud and destory the bad light you have shun onto executioners!” He lunges towards me and breaks my executioner katana. His weapon is that strong!? What the hell!?

“I thought you would be stronger than this, vigilante.” What the hell is he talking about and what do I do? All I have is my shinkuro and my ability. I shield myself in volt shinkuro and launch some of the electricity at Masashi but he dodges and goes in for my head. 

I dodge with the enhanced speed of my shinkuro and start to run up to the top of the building we were near, but he quickly pulls me down while running and slams me into the ground. I transfer the rest of the electricity to his body, but he barely makes a movement. I guess I have to use my ability.

Masashi swings his blade into my throat. It hurts, it really hurts! I need to hurry and use my ability! I grab the blade of his sword and try to activate my ability.

“Syn…chro. Yoi.” A bright light shines and a burst of energy sends Masashi into the wall at the end of the alleyway. My wound is healed? And what is this sudden power I feel? I should have learned about my ability before I used it. I try to stand back up but feel immense weight on my back. Masashi walks back up to me and grabs me by my face.

“An angel wing? Is this some kind of joke to you? Let's see what happens if I cut it off.” I punch Masashi in the stomach and he drops his weapon. Masashi starts coughing up some blood with a dumbfounded expression on his face. I stand up and take a run for it back to Mako’s store. We walked really far but it seemed like I got back to her shop way faster. 

“Mako.” Mako gasped and stops restocking guns and runs over to hold me. 

“WHAT IS GOING ON YUKI!? ARE YOU OKAY?” Mako starts walking to the back of the shop thats normally off limits. She sits me down in the large room of boxes and she begins to hug me. My large wing knocked down a few boxes while coming in here. “What happened with you and that cop? And whats with the wing? I’m so confused.” Mako starts to cry a little but I remain silent still processing whats going on.

After remaining in silence for a few minutes, I tell her everything thats been going on with me being the target of an execution and the battle between me and Masashi. Mako starts yelling at me after I finish speaking.

“Why would you never telll me? If you were in danger I could have helped. You always think you can solve things on your own and it never works out! You know that already Yuki. So why? Why haven’t you asked for help?”

“I don’t need it. I can figure things out myself sooner or later if I just train my skills and kill more decei—“ Mako slaps me in the face grabs me by the collar of my shirt.

“You wont be killing any deceits any time soon. You don’t have your weapon and now they know everything about you because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut and stay inside. The only way I’d let you back outside is if you had a stronger weapon to protect yourself with and when you know how to use your ability.” Mako stands up and grabs a box beside her. “I’m making you a new weapon okay?”

“It needs special materials though.”

"All these boxes have those special materials for executioner weapons. I have to deliver these to the DES headquarters every week.”

“But wouldn’t using the materials to make weapons for personal use illegal?”

“Totally, but I can just say that some packages arrived late. You're still concered about doing illegal things even though you could die any second now.” Mako smiles at me and takes the box with her as she goes to the store door and flips the sign to close. “Put that weird wing away. You’re coming home with me. You know what my car looks like right?”

“Y-yeah”

“Alright, make sure to lock it once you get inside. I need to grab a few boxes and I’ll be right there.” I deactivate my ability and the wing slowly goes back into my body. I walk out of the store and went to the parked red SUV behind the store. I go in the passenger seat and lock all the doors. All my injuries are healed. Theres no longer a pain in my throat and I can actually talk, but I am still fatigued from everything thats happened. 

One blow to the neck is all it took for him to almost kill me. I’m surprised that punch even did damage to him. What even is that ability? All I know right now is that it heals me and makes me stronger, but I still lack knowledge of it all. It also gives me terrible back pain! 

Mako knocks on the window and I open the door to the backseat. 

“I was knocking on the window for 2 minutes Yuki.” she says as placing the stack of boxes in the backseat of the car. 

“Sorry. I spaced out for a minute.”

“2 minutes.” Mako closes the door to the back of the car and makes her way into the drivers seat. She starts the car and we start to make our way to her house. I stare out the window at the few passing cars and Mako soon breaks the silence with a question.

“What kind of weapon would you like?” 

“You say it as if you can make anything.” A sly grin appears on Mako’s face.

“You seem to doubt my abilities Yuki.” 

“Alright then. Give me two semi-automatic pistols that can turn into a dagger.” Mako nods and smiles.

“You sure do have a creative mind.”
