Vrinda wipes her tears and hurriedly rushes towards Migai to thank him one last time. She steps out of the door and finds Migai and Martin just standing outside, beyond them she sees an army of people standing on the opposite side of the lane. The police officer who was at the opening is lying on the floor bloody and battered. Two men and a woman come out from the crowd and stand in front-facing Migai and Martin.
" What is the Society doing here? I'll call for backup immediately sir." Martin mutters softly.
"No need, I'll finish this faster." Turning his head, "You should go back in the house." He warns Vrinda who was standing behind him.
Migai takes a few steps forward, to ensure some distance between him and Martin.
"So, will you please oblige me with the reason for why you're wreaking havoc?" Migai taunts the crowd in front of him.
The muscular- bald man who had walked to the front with two others replies, "Shut up Impostor!"
"Impostor?"
The muscular man then further enquires, "Are you the one who goes by the name, Migai Swuro?"
"That would be me," Migai answers calmly with his hands in his pocket.
"Then there is not much left to discuss...Shanti, Ali make the call." The muscular man asserts his command.
The woman and man who had come to the front with him nod, they wave their arms to give the signal. Immediately the entire force of about twenty-five odd men and women rush at Migai.
The lane was not as thin as an alleyway but it was still a lane. There were two humongous buildings constructed on both sides, parallel to the lane. Leaving only the two ends in the beginning and at the end as an entry-exit point. Twenty-five people couldn't rush all at once given the width of the lane therefore they rushed at Migai behind one another. Migai calmly stood on the other end with his hands still in his pocket. The first person to approach him was a man with a machete in hand, the others also followed with weapons such as long knives and swords. They didn't use guns because they didn't want to attract attention or alert the other policemen. Given, a police faction was already dispatched in this area for a murder investigation, they knew there would be no patrols. Also Migai had refused to call for backup which only made things easier for them, either way, the muscular man would have immediately attacked if they had tried calling for backup, he and Ali were Kusokans while Shanti was a human. The three of them were leaders of the Society, they had been assigned the role to capture the man who goes by the name Migai Swuro.
When the muscular man heard this he was greatly troubled. He was a learned man and knew this country's history well. Henceforth when he heard this name it troubled him greatly. He was almost sure the man was an imposter. On the other hand, Shanti and Ali were of the idea that the rumours are over-exaggerated stories of the past. There was no way a human could achieve the feats that this man was told to have. Both Shanti and Ali were also experienced in battle and from experience they knew, that the past usually exaggerated stuff about people. But all that thought was put to rest when the first man swung his machete at Migai.
The man's machete didn't even reach close to Migai but Migai's palm had already delivered a fatal blow to the man's chin. Blood poured from his mouth and nose and he fell to the ground, unable to battle after just one blow. The others followed the man's attack, Migai slithered like a snake and easily dodged all of them, with a calm expression and one hand still in his pockets. After dodging most of those attacks he turned and started knocking people down with one blow each. A woman dashed from behind him and swung her knife, Migai just slightly turned to dodge the attack and kicked her laterally causing her to crash into her mates. There were no unnecessary movements and the force of the kick was so strong that it could rival that of Strenght-type Kusokan. A minute had passed and more than half their forces were down. Migai was holding back, no, he was just fooling around. In just that minute the Muscular man knew they had encountered the real deal, so he didn't waste any more time. He himself rushed at Migai, seeing their senior the other two also rushed along with him. Shanti and Ali had also by now got an idea that this is not going to be easy. The muscular man dashed straight at Migai and just before colliding with him red markings appeared all over his body, he clubbed both his fists together and brought it down on Migai like an axe. The entire ground gave away and there was a huge explosion. Debris scattered in various directions, his own people were knocked out by the attack but this surprise attack was necessary to outmanoeuvre Migai.
When the dust settled there was a huge crater where Migai stood. But there were no signs of him.
"Going all-out from the very beginning?" A voice came from above.
Everyone in the lane almost simultaneously raised their head looking at the source of the voice. Migai stood at the top of the building, paralleling the lane, absolutely unscathed.
The muscular man clicks his tongue, red markings appear on his body again, his legs penetrate the ground and he postures himself as if he's squatting. He lets go of this posture at once and like a rocket he ejects himself off the ground and reaches the top of the building in a flash. Shanti and Ali also began climbing up and reach the top a few seconds after. The other people who had come with them and were still conscious also started to attempt climbing the building while the others rushed to the building's entrance to take the stairs. Migai stood at the edge, keeping an eye below till each and every individual had head to the building's entrance to take the stairs leaving Martin alone in the lane. Only when he was sure that Martin would be safe, did he turn his complete attention to the three individuals standing in front of him.
The muscular man and Ali had red-markings all over their body and the three of them had their swords in hand. The swords resembled the blades of a fan, only thinner and made a buzzing sound with sparks of electricity forming around the edges.
In response, Migai finally took out his hand from his pocket and brought it to his waist. He pulled out a black-baton-like object attached to the buckle. The faces of the three individuals froze. The baton was pitch black in colour, Migai extended his right arm carrying the baton, and with a jolt, the baton extended and became as long as a sword. It looked like a stick but the blade that had just popped out of the baton was hexagonal with sharp edges at all four ends. It was cylindrical but the edges were sharper than a normal sword. There was also a hole at the mouth of the sword which was previously a baton.
"A....A...' Black Pendulic'", Shanti stammers.
The people who had followed their leaders to battle had arrived at the rooftop, but when they set their eyes on Migai their soul left their body. Every living soul in this country knew what that black hexagonal sword signified. They rushed back down the stairs faster than they had come up. The society was a very loyal group, leaving a member behind was considered taboo, but here the situation was such that every ideology that was imprinted on them evaporated the moment they set their gaze on the sword. The Black Pendulic was a symbol of fear and death for humans and kusokans alike. There was only one thing more dangerous than a black Pendulic and that was the wielder who holds the sword. The leaders who had been abandoned didn't even flinch. They didn't blame their soldiers; the situation was just that bad.
"I'm impressed, the three of you didn't run. Usually this much is enough but I guess..."
Before Migai could finish, Shanti pulled out a gun and fired shots after shots, the idea of being discreet was abandoned long back. Ali also gathered energy in his palms and shot it at Migai like a laser beam. Migai started rotating the Pendulic like a helicopter blade, the bullets, and energy beam both were easily deflected. The three leaders then dashed at Migai with their swords. Shanti and Ali dashed in from the sides while the muscular dashed in from the front; all at the same time. Migai calmly stood there and uttered these words, "Ion sphere" while the three dashed at him, but before collision a protective blue sphere surrounded Migai and all three of their swords were deflected by the sphere. The sphere lasted for only two seconds but that was enough time for Migai. The Sphere collapsed and a kick was embraced by the muscular man while Migai's palms hit Shanti on the chin and his other palm hit Ali on his neck. Ali began to choke and crumbled to his knees while Shanti fell flat to the ground with a bleeding nose and ears. The muscular man flew back from the kick and rolled many times on the terrace ground before he stopped. The muscular slowly got up, he raised his head, and in front of him, at his neck was a black-hexagonal blade. In a flash, Migai had covered the distance between them and was standing in front of the muscular man, his sword at his neck. "It was my error in judgment that caused this...you are the real thing...Migai Swuro...An Irya...The strongest human"
"Isn't it a little too late for introductions?" Migai responds cheekily.
The sword which was pointed at the muscular man's neck pierced through, killing him on the spot. The muscular man fell to the ground, dead. Migai tilted his neck at an angle looking at the muscular man, a laser-like beam passed where his neck was, from behind. Migai stretched his arms backwards and threw the sword at Ali who had shot the beam. Like an arrow shot with perfection, the sword pierced Ali's chest. Shanti who had now regained her consciousness began to shiver. Migai started walking towards Shanti, who was shivering like a leaf in the wind. He stretched his arm, red light the size of a dot flickered once on the glove that Migai was wearing, the 'Pendulic' that was pierced inside Ali's chest flew back right into Migai's hand.
"Please...please...let me go...I have a little child...please...this was a mistake..."
A second later her head flew off and her lifeless body fell to the ground with a thud.
"This is my brand of justice", He wipes the blood off his blade.
