Chapter 11: Battle in Hashima Island Part 1
Six days later late night in Hashima Island, Kudo Yusaku was alone, walking around the historic place that people ones lived before abandoning this island since world war two. This place was a perfect for cornering them, having his wife and close friends hid to safety, it's now his turn to make sure they will take the trap and kill him.
'Shinichi' He remembered the days when their beloved son, Shinichi was still with them. Their son who could smile, scoff, laugh, angry, irritate and many more, so many that he will never see ever again. How much he regretted so many things, so many that can no longer count how many they were... still...
Suddenly a gun shot was heard, Yusaku immediately took his gun and saw a bullet hole that was shot earlier. Surprisingly there were two bullets near the wall.
"Spacing out in the time like this? You will certainly die Kudo Yusaku." Yusaku turned around to point the gun to the person standing not too far from where he's standing. He was surprise to see the young adult ones again, smirking as he pulled down his fedora, eyes hidden within the shadows.
"Y-you're..."
"Ciao, we meet again Kudo Yusaku." Reborn said before pointing his gun to Kudo's direction and shoot three times, it didn't hit Yusaku but heard three yelps. He turned around to see three people he doesn't recognized. "The enemies were starting to move within the shadows. You should inform the police who were hiding to keep their guard up because we're not facing one but many. Who knows how many they were."
A radio sound was heard until a voice came through. "Kudo-san are you alright?" It was Megure-keibu. Yusaku answered, "Yeah I'm fine, how are you there?"
"There are bunch of people appeared and started shooting us. Be careful Yusaku, the battle had already begun." Yusaku nodded, "Got it."
The communication turned off before facing Reborn, still pointing the gun on him.
"Who are you?" Yusaku's first question. Reborn kept his smirk before introducing himself, "Reborn, please to meet you Kudo Yusaku."
"Reborn?" Its kind of a strange name.
"Shut your hiding and come out, you do know how dangerous this operation. Do you really wish to get yourselves into trouble?" Reborn said.
Yusaku narrowed his eyes, does that mean he knew the military help and now were currently hiding to keep watch over him?
As if on cue, Sato-keiji appeared with Takagi-keiji, Superintendent Matsumoto, Superintendent Heizo and few military men. Reborn only scoff, not minding them and suddenly shoot on the side, that made the whole occupant point their guns on him. Before they could shout to put his gun down, Reborn beat them.
"I told you to come out." He said warningly. To their surprise, Hattori Heiji wielding a katana and Hakuba Suguru wielding a gun came out hiding.
Heizo narrowed his eyes, "What are you doing here Heiji?"
"We-well... we-we wanted to help that's all." Heiji said as he scratched his head, being found by his father so easily wasn't really unexpected. Hakuba pointed his gun to Reborn, "I'm surprise you knew we're here."
"It's actually expected." Reborn simply said, "So how long you people will keep pointing your guns on me? I am not your opponent."
Superintendent Makamoto respond, "Drop the gun and come with us. We have a lot of questions regarding about them."
"Arresting me in the time like this?" Reborn sigh, "I knew police are idiots, I never knew they are these idiots."
Sato glared, "What did you say?"
"As much as I want to have a battle of words, I have some business to do." Reborn turned around and smirked, to their surprise it was the serial killer who's standing little far from the young adult. "Been a while fake, I want to settle what we had left in Kid's heist."
The serial killer narrowed his eyes, "The plan is to expose you, kill you with Kudo Yusaku. To think you would expose yourself, that's unexpected. Much more... introduce yourself to them... Reborn."
"To your part." Reborn said, "We kind of expected that scenario so I made a decision to make things easier, let myself known and look, too easy. I'm not someone like you who's worried to be found out fake."
The serial killer hum, "You really pissed me off." It only made Reborn smirk wider, "Glad to hear."
Both pointed their weapon at the same time, ready to battle. The police and military took their position, ready to shoot the serial killer.
"As much as I wanted to kill that novelist, I have no choice but to leave it to the others." The serial killer licked his blade, "My only concern is you."
Reborn hum, knowing there were Dying Will User somewhere that will target them, especially Kudo Yusaku. His communicator connected as a familiar voice was heard.
"There are fifty flame user coming, not including the serial killer Reborn. I'll take care of them so please fight in your heart's content." Shin informed. Reborn grin, "Be careful."
"Same to you." The communication cut off. Reborn began his attack, "Chaos Shot." He pulled a trigger as the dying will bullet came out in top speed that soon multiplied to five.
Sensing his seriousness, the serial killer grin as his blade burst in violet flame and sliced them in one swing. In top speed, Reborn got in front of him and kicked him ones again. This made him grunt as he burst a violet flame in his feet to flew up, Reborn followed him as he burst his flame which was yellow flame in his feet to have an aerial battle against him.
Everyone from below were out of words. They don't understand how the heck those people had done that.
"You know, you people will only get yourself killed if you kept spacing out." The voice made everyone return back to reality and turned around to see Kaitou Kid in his signature smirk.
"K-Kaitou... Kid!?" Hakuba shouted in the end, making the thief smirk wider. "Yo Tantei-san, what's so surprising?"
"I told you to never come here!" Hakuba shouted as he pointed his finger to the thief. The magician tilted his head in confusion, "Told? We never spoke Tantei-san."
"Shut the act and-"
"But I do know you told it to a teen named Kuroba Kaito." The magician's word widens Hakuba's eyes. The magician continued, "I also knew the fact you kept accusing him as my identity. It was actually funny now that I think about it."
Hakuba glared, "Kuroba you-"
"Back on topic, we should get out of here and let the two have their own battle." Kid told them. "Follow me."
"Wait Kid." Sato pointed her gun on the thief, "Why are you here? There's nothing to steal here."
"I'm hurt Keiji, do you really think I'm a type of thief who shows magic and steal? I'm truly hurt." Kid brought out his card gun, "Let me tell you one truth, I'm a thief who had a policy of 'No one gets hurt' and I will keep that as it is. The reason I appeared and helping you because he told me to lead you away from here. A large number is coming, Reborn won't be able to protect you after being occupied with the serial killer. He will be there to stop their progress."
"He?" Yusaku questioned, hearing so far he knew one truth, there's another person out there like that man named Reborn who's fighting against this organization.
From afar, fifty people in black were flying in different color of flame. There were red, blue, yellow, violet, green and indigo. They were heading to one place, the location where Kudo Yusaku was located.
Ahead they noticed someone who's waiting for them. A teen who's wearing jacket dark blue, baseball hat black, black pants and red shoes. The teen looked up to see the coming enemy that he had decided to hold on alone. He took a deep breath as he raised his right hand, wearing a ring it burst his indigo flame. The coming people immediately knew he's an enemy so they took their position as some immediately attack.
Seeing they're coming, the teen smirked as he spread his indigo flame. The illusion is about to begin.
Back to Yusaku and the other's location, they suddenly heard a loud explosion not too far from their location. The serial killer immediately recognized the place where it came from.
'That place is where the dying will user were heading... someone is fighting them? Then he's not an only dying will user?' His thought was halted when a bullet almost hit him. He twitched as he faced Reborn who kept his smirk and battle against him head on.
Kid took a sigh, "Looks like the battle had begun." He faced them who were seeking answers from the thief. "I don't know if your waiting for death or what but let's leave before it's too late. I don't want to get yelled after all."
Kid walked away. They weren't sure if they should trust Kid or not, Yusaku thought for a moment before following Kid which kind of surprised them.
"Are you sure about this Kudo-san?" Takagi-keiji asked. Yusaku didn't answer, only following Kid.
Having no choice since their job is to protect him, they followed.
"Kid will you answer some of my questions?" Yusaku asked. Kid hum for a moment before smirking, "As long as I can answer them Chosha-san."
Yusaku nodded, accepting his answer. "First, how come you're with them?"
"They saved me four months ago, from the ambush of that syndicate." Kid answered. Hakuba questioned this, "Just like the last heist, why?"
"At first it's to make the people see the phantom thief's head to my audience... it changed after I survived and learned about them. They now wanted me dead to keep their organization unknown... but change after Reborn told you about this island."
"So they after you for popularity and now to silence you." Takagi-keiji summarized.
Kid nodded, "As my thanks for saving me I offered them my service. Although I can't hurt anyone unlike Reborn."
"While the other one?" Heiji questioned, remembering the other person he had mentioned. Kid turned to him and smirked, "He had a strong perspective of life so surely he will never take a life no matter what Reborn told him to do to survive... this is after all... a war."
"War?" Heizo questioned.
"It's what they called it, war." Kid explained, "What you are all facing wasn't an ordinary mafia syndicate, but something more and dangerous. You saw those two right? Flame, the organization we're facing can use flame. Simple weapons like what you hold will be useless against them, even caught they will never give up and kept resisting... for that reason in order to stop them, you should kill them."
"That's ABSURB!" Yusaku shouted as everyone stopped. Kid faced Yusaku who's showing the serious disapproval of killing them. "I know Chosan-san you don't approved, it's same to him too. He doesn't approve killing, he had a high perspective of life. For that reason, he's trying to find a way to lessen the rate of loss. Well of course I myself doesn't approve too, thief is far better than a murderer."
"Rate of loss..." Superintendent Matsumoto murmured, "True to your words, in this operation we knew there would be a loss... knowing the fact they will not give up so easily even surrounded. We all saw it too, even with military help, that didn't falter them."
"That's because they have no means of fearing the military." All turned to Kid who had said that. Kid shrug, "That's according to Reborn, not me."
Kid walked away as they followed. They heard a zipping sound, it was a communicator that Kid had and connected it.
"Kaitou Kid speaking."
"Kaito more are coming, I'm heading your way."
Kid narrowed his eyes, "Flame users?"
"No but they're many."
Kid twitched, "Let's go hurry, more are coming in full arm." He run away as they followed with their gun ready.
"How come he knew more are coming?" Heiji can't help but question.
"Each mafia member had a communicator with them. They just have a device that detects them and see how more are coming." Kid answered as he kept running.
Suddenly he felt something that he had stopped at the same time gave a sign for them to stop which thankfully they did. Sensing a gun pointing, Kid immediately turned and shoot his card gun which hit the man out. More came out and started shooting them. They shoot back as they ran back and to hide, some military with them were shot and died. The enemies kept firing them as they hide and fire back.
Kid was with Yusaku who's shooting back on them. The magician communicated to both of them.
"They got us, we're countering them."
On Reborn's battle against the serial killer, he just gave another chaos shot, an attack that give multiple bullet attacks in just one trigger. The serial killer was able to dodge them but some scratched his shoulder, making him grunted in pain.
"Hmm... I wonder if they got their full force come here just for a simple annihilation." Reborn murmured. He saw the serial killer coming for an attack and blocked it with his gun.
Somewhere on the road, Shin was running in his top speed even though he's sweating and tired from his last battle against them.
"Just hang in there Kaito, I'm coming!" Shin said as he kept running. As he does he felt his chest tightening but forced himself to keep moving. 'Using my flame at the same time deal with them is too tiring... Rick kept reminding me to never push myself but... but!'
Remembering Kaito and his father, he can't afford to lose them!
'Please... make me in time!'
In the place where Kid and the others were, the battle still continue. Yusaku knew the target was him, if he kept staying here everyone would be in danger. He could see Takagi-keiji injured, some military soldiers died on the confrontation and the rest kept fighting back.
'If this continues...' Yusaku turned to the teens who were Hakuba and Heiji who can't do much other than hide with him, same for Kaitou Kid who hide and shot back. Having no other choice, Yusaku stood up and shot them before running away.
"Chosan-san!" Kid shouted as he immediately gave three card shot before running after him. Two high school detectives followed the two.
The running of four occupants were unnoticed by Superintendent Matsumoto and the others.
"Shin, Chosan-san is running far away. He plans to get far away as much as possible." Kid murmured on his communicator, not wanting for the high school detectives to hear it. He heard his replied, "I'm following your trail Kaito... Kaito please..."
"Don't worry Shin-chan, I'll protect him... no one gets hurt, right?" Ending that conversation, he kept chasing after Yusaku. 'I won't let anyone hurt Shin-chan, I won't let it!'
In aerial battle, Reborn kept attacking the serial killer with his dying will bullets. The serial killer gave another powerful slash and Reborn defend it with his gun. Both were pushing strength.
"Why do you kept interfering us?" He questioned as he pushed him. Reborn wasn't backing down as he pushed back but still answered, "Own business."
Reborn pushed him hard and shoot three times, the serial killer had slashed them but one bullet hit his left hand. This made him more twitch, he's already using flame, no longer holding back but still he still able to fight him fairly or more? It made him even more angry.
"What's wrong fake? You look very frustrated." Reborn mocked the serial killer, making him even more furious. Reborn chuckled in amusement when he felt a coming attack and dodged it in time. He turned in narrowed eyes to see a new enemy, a buildup man. It was Pietro, smirking. "What do you know, not bad."
Reborn studied the newcomer before turning back to the serial killer who's more irritated for his interference.
"Why the hell are you here? I can take care of him myself, don't interfere Pietro."
"Heh, like I will asshole. I can see you loosing." His words made him glare even more, "What did you say you bastard!?"
Reborn mentally sigh before deciding to ignore their becoming argument and focus on the task in hand. He dashed forward, heading to the serial killer.
Seeing his coming, the serial killer formed a violet flame ball and released it, heading to Reborn. Pietro released a red flame and gave a powerful blast. Reborn didn't falter on the coming two attacks, his gun glowed as his free hand flamed in yellow and punched the violet flame ball, successfully destroying it and then twist around to fire his powerful blast of yellow flame.
Both blast of flame clashed as both pushed strength. Reborn didn't mind and returned his gaze to his target, overpowering his blast that pushed him more, heading to the serial killer. Thanks to Reborn's overpowering that gave Pietro a hard time as he's beginning to get pushed back from his strength.
'Wh-who is this guy!?' Pietro mentally shouted as he growled to make his flame stronger.
The serial killer readied himself as Reborn gave a yellow flame kick that somehow he had successfully block.
Yellow flame was actually called Sun Flame, characteristic of activation special trait to induce and improve the efficiency of any types of activity, good in support because it has a power of healing and strengthening individuals depending on the person's capability.
The serial killer's violet flame was called Cloud flame, characteristic of propagation and ability to multiply and expansion depending how the user use it. Pietro's red flame was called Storm Flame, characteristic of disintegration and ability to disintegrate other objects.
"Don't play around and fight me for real!" Reborn shouted as he pulled another trigger that defeat Pietro's flame and hit him while his followed up kick destroyed the serial killer's blade and hit him, making him smashed down.
Reborn stared at the two, he knew well the battle wasn't over yet since those attacks won't make them stay down. The newcomer underestimated him while the fake still hasn't shown more of his abilities, much that irritates the young adult. Reborn decided to land down near the serial killer, seeing he's trying to stand up, he immediately took action as hold his left hand roughly, taking off the gloves that cover his hand and Leon quickly transformed into a gloves as Reborn took something from his hidden pocket and had the killer held it.
The serial killer flinched from the pain and glared the young man who's holding him. He felt and item that Reborn forced him to held, like trying to engrave something in him until he realized what he after. Reborn smirked as before he could fight back, he stomped his face down.
"Don't even think about it, I will make sure I will learn your identity before I finish you." Reborn said, making the serial killer twitched in anger.
Finally getting what he wanted, he returned the item back to safety. Leon returned back being his gun and Reborn pointed it to him. The fake glared as Reborn smirked wider, he pointed the gun to the other location and pulled the trigger. It's heading to his other companion, Pietro who's about to dash and attack him but he got him first and so he was hit.
"Fighting me without plan is like a death sentence you know." Reborn said to the fake who's glaring at him as he tried to get free from him. Reborn leaned down and whispered, "Let me introduce you properly. The name is Reborn, code name Ragnarok of Devas, the one who will soon be known as hitman aiming to become number one."
That widen his eyes, Devas, he knew that name... it clicked. The Devas is a small group of assassins that said could destroy a famiglia with no problem. Hiring them would be a great advantage in any war famiglia because they never fear to strike either in light or in dark. They would even have no problem being known to the whole world, mostly assassinate the most powerful person in a country. He even heard there's one time one member of Devas code name Yggdrasil challenged the US main military force alone and won. The reason was only simple, test them and get some fun. Devas are very hard to predict but they do have catchphrase, 'Expect the unexpected'. No one had ever won to that small group nor knew where they stay, completely in the shadows.
The serial killer had made a conclusion and smirked, 'This person... is dangerous.'
