Oh, and I'll put the dominance request for @Mexican_Ghoul in the next chapter.

(The next day)
[Mynnah's POV]

I was in class, itching to find my brother. It was good that because of yesterday's events, Daichi started to distance himself from me, because if he pissed me off today, I might just really rip his head off.

I couldn't focus in class. My thought kept directing back to my brother. I knew that he was somewhere in academy city, so it'll be easy to find him. But I'll need help. I was going to call the troop and make them help me, but I still needed someone stronger, just in case...I couldn't be too careful when my brother's life was at stake. Konari? Maybe, but unfortunately, she wasn't in class.

Class ended and I quickly ran to the rooftop, making a call to the Nightingale troupe base. The Nightingale troupe was a group of mercenaries, people that would willingly do dirty work for survival, a group that I led.

It wasn't exactly something I was proud of, but me and my brother had no other choice but to get our hands dirty for others in order to survive, so I became a mercenary and he became an assassin.

"Yo, boss, whaddup?" Someone picked up the phone, and just by the way that person talked, I already knew that it was Kazuo.

"Kazuo! Don't fuckin' talk to lady Mynnah like that! Give me the damn phone!" I heard Suzuka say and then a crash and Kazuo's screams. After a while, she picked up the phone. "How may we help you, lady Mynnah?"

"I need all of you to cooperate. Follow me, I'll activate my GPS so you'll know where I am. That is all." I said. "Move out!"

"Ey, Assholes! We got somethin' to do!" I heard Suzuka say before I hung up, looking left and right to see if anyone was there. Fortunately, there was nobody around, so I conjured a flurry of vector cystals, caging around me and teleporting me to the alleyway near Konari's apartment building.

I ran to the apartment building and went to Konari's room. The entire room was in ruin, not to mention the amount of metal that pierced almost everything inside the house. She was raging with fury, her metal wings were out and were starting to glow red with the amount of heat she was conducting in her rage.

This is why I never teleport directly to her apartment.

"Somebody...took them..." She said, and her wings grew. It was definitiely not a good sign. I immediately deployed a crystal shield, preparing for what was about to come. "Somebody took my sisters!"

She yelled and released all the shards of metal on her wings, and metal started to envelop her body. I removed my shield and took one good look at the real Konari. Guess the monster trait runs in the family.

"Calm down hot iron, before you burn my damn clothes." I said bluntly, and the red glow on her now metallic body parts started to disappear, the metal slowly disappearing from her body.

"Where did they take them?!" Konari seethed.

"Don't know. but they're most likely trying to bait someone." I replied. "It's probably either me, you, or Yoshikawa and they're using anyone vulnerable that we have a connection with." I said, slightly chewing on my lower lip, thinking about who else could... "Shit! Last Order!" I yelled then grabbed Konari by the wrist.

"Wha—?!" "There's no time to explain, we gotta save Last Order!" I cut off what Konari was going to say and teleported us into Last Order's house. The whole place was empty, and I could only hope they didn't get there before us.

"Why are we here?" Konari asked, but I didn't answer. "Why are we here, we need to find my sisters, now."

"Kiyan's missing too, but I decided to go here, didn't I?" I growled, and Konari was taken aback by this, she very well knew that I would gladly let the entire world burn if it would keep my brother safe.

I called out for Last Order, taking a few steps before I heard the door click open. Why now of all times?

The white haired bastard clicked his tongue and furrowed his brows upon seeing us.

"What the hell are you two doing here?" Accelerator scowled. "How did you get inside?"

"We had a teleporter friend that got us here then left. We just decided to pay Yoshikawa and Last Order a visit. Got any idea where they are?" I lied, smiling fakely.

"They were here before I left. Maybe they went out." Accelerator said.

"Can we wait here for them?" I asked.

"Do whatever you want." He said bluntly before sitting on the couch.

"Mynnah, what are you doing, exactly? This really isn't how you'd usually act if Kiyan was missing." Konari whispered.

"I have a hunch that something bad's happened to Last Order, bear with me for a little while. I also need that asshole to help." I whispered back.

I took a step then heard a squelch. Looking down, I saw that the carpet was stained red. My face turned paler than it already was and my eyes widened. After having my hands stained with it so many times, I could recognize that metallic scent and crimson color anywhere, it was blood. I just wished that it wasn't Last Order's. 'I guess that bastard's a possible target now.'

"Accelerator, you might have to take a look at this." I said and pointed to the blood-soaked carpet. Accelerator looked at where I was pointing and his face turned as pale as mine.

"Stay here, I'll have to deal with some business." He said, standing up and grabbing his cane.

"Last Order's not the only one missing." I said and he looked at me. "Konari's sisters and my brother were kidnapped too." I said. "I think they're kidnapping anyone who has a connection to Yoshikawa." I didn't exactly lie this time. I wasn't sure who they were baiting, me, Konari, Accelerator or Yoshikawa. It could be Yoshikawa, Kiyan's the brother of one of her assistants, she helped in Last Order's creation, and Emiko, Akita and Hanami were the sisters of her assistant. The kidnapper could be trying to bait Konari, me and Accelerator into turning Yoshikawa in.

"I guess I'll have to use this again." Konari said then pulled out a metal hairpin.

"Idiot. You can't stand it, and you know that." I said. Although, it would be better if she stayed here, there would be less chance of one of us being baited. "Haruna can--"

"Mynnah, I know for a fact that you're not there already, saving Kiyan and the others, because even Haruna can't find them." She said. "I'll be fine. And I know that you can always have a whole troupe of backup."

She viewed the entirety of Academy city by seeing through metals, making her eyes turn dull and grey. I was actually surprised she could control her all seeing ability. She used to clutch her head in pain all the time back then and kept away from metal other than her own; that state felt horrible and came with a price, after all.

"Weapons...mercenaries...seventeenth distict...cargo crate storage..." She said then clutched her head and fell to the ground, having a slight seizure. "It hurts like hell..."

I walked over to her and kneeled down.

"You idiot." I mockingly said. "What did you see?"

"They're in the seventeenth district, in a cargo crate storage...I don't know which one, but there's an exploded cargo crate in the middle." Konari said. "Ugh, my head..."

"Tch, I know that place all too well." Accelerator said, an annoyed expression on his face. Oh, I get it.

"It's where you lost against that level zero guy, right?" I asked and he got even more annoyed.

"Shut up and get going, the seventeenth district's near the outer perimeter, so it'll take us hours to get there." Accelerator said, turning away from me.

"That's not necessary." I said as I grabbed his hand and conjured a cage of crystals around us.

"Wait! Don't fight him, he's a reverser!" Konari said, but I'd already us and teleported to the seventeenth district.

"You have an esper ability, huh?" Accelerator said. "You must've been a good liar, coming up as a level zero on every esper examination."

"No time to explain, we have to move fast." I said.

Before we could even move, people surrounded us from the sides, carrying guns, knives, swords, and even...

'A bazooka? Are you fucking with me?' I thought, and remembered something; the both of us were walking enemy magnets.

Not again...
