Léon: The Cat Killer

Seeing Elva looking around as if he really wanted to confirm the safety of his men, Theresa, who had been following him, made a gesture, and then about twelve people, a standard full-strength Sarkaz combat squad, emerged from the shadows.

A group of Sarkaz, armed with weapons and dressed in various mercenary outfits, stood menacingly behind Amiya, leaving Elva stunned.

Fortunately, the girl was a gang member and used to the unpredictable nature of gang life. She only paused for a moment before making a slightly shocked expression, leaning back.

"Well... no wonder your men can't get into the shelter... if it were me, I wouldn't let you in either... you guys... at least put on your company uniforms, right?"

"Haha... well... we came here on vacation, and everyone just brought their personal belongings... but I can assure you, none of you are bad people! Here, give me your hand!"

Watching the little rabbit drag the tall, imposing Sarkaz, the person closest to the judge, into a handshake game with him, looking utterly hopeless, Elva, while still finding the visual impact striking, felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity... and sadness...

"They really are good people, you can tell from Elva shaking hands with them...their hands are so warm..."

Seeing that Elva seemed unmoved and didn't believe her, Amiya was a little sad. It was clear that Amiya had misunderstood the situation… Fortunately, her own Sarkaz comrades understood. A female Sarkaz beside her sighed and removed her combat mask.

"...Lady Amiya, please don't force the captain... What if she hurts the other person without thinking? Let me handle it..."

As he spoke, the Sarkaz, originally codenamed 'Blunt' and Rhodes Island's 'Meteorite'... who was also one of the few Sarkaz with a physique similar to that of an ordinary human, removed his gloves and extended his hand to the gang girl:

"Hello, I am Meteorite... I'm sorry to cause you trouble at this time. In exchange for allowing us to take refuge, we will also help you with your evacuation work... You can entrust us with carrying any of the heavier supplies..."

"……Thanks……"

Struggling to survive in the infected territory, a gang girl who was born a child laborer... and thus, she clasped hands with a mercenary who had grown up in war zones...

Judging from their expressions, both of them found this feeling quite strange.

"Thank you. This is the first time an outsider has been willing to shake hands with us... Aren't you afraid of Oripathy?"

"Ha, who here doesn't have Oripathy... Anyway, with you guys helping out, everyone in the block feels much more secure... Most of us are just ordinary Felins, and our strength is... average..."

“No problem. I saw the residents had already piled up supplies on both sides of the street. After everyone has taken some and stocked up on their own, we can carry as much as we can carry... After all, we don’t know how long the natural disaster will last.”

Just as the two reached this consensus, Matilda, who had been waiting for a long time, became somewhat unhappy.

The kitten tugged at Amiya, who had just let go of her:

"Amiya, anyway... just move those things back, right..."

"Ah... um!"

Watching her friend assign tasks, Matilda glanced at Officer Xi and the gang members who had put on their gang armbands and were helping others... The expressions on their faces reminded the kitten of a priest.

"...Hmm...Helping others...is...not wrong..."

With outstretched hands, the kitten slowly rose into the sky to the astonished gaze of the crowd. Then, large swathes of the supplies that were to be abandoned were lifted into the air by invisible hands. Matilda, like the leader of a sky army, directed the goods to parade through the sky with her hands.

"Go...over there...hmm?"

Perhaps she hadn't reached the point where she could finish everything herself. After realizing she couldn't find where she'd put her things, the kitten first grabbed the bunny, then grabbed Alva, who was staring blankly with his mouth agape. The gangster girl even forgot to struggle.

"Where should we put the things?"

As Alva pointed in the direction, the kitten perked up its ears with great enthusiasm:

"Okay... I'll move all my things over there!"

"Huh? Wait a minute... Hey—!"

As the sounds from the horizon faded into the distance, Theresa watched the supplies that blotted out the sky flow across the heavens like they were being pulled by a train, and shook her head... She almost burst out laughing... Why could that little cat make such a ridiculous scene when it was supposed to be so serious?

"Um, Your Highness...we're here..."

"Amiya has already made the arrangements, hasn't she...? Your current identities are Sarkaz mercenaries hired by Rhodes Island... Isn't it obvious what you're supposed to do?"

"Help with the evacuation... but... do we really need to do that?"

Seeing that almost everyone avoided the Sarkaz, Meteorite asked this question.

The princess did not answer, and Meteorite's gaze finally settled on her palm... the warmth she had felt when she shook hands with Elva.

Just as Amiya said, the temperature of their palms was essentially the same...

Sighing, Meteorite instinctively wanted to put on a mask, but after thinking about it, she gave up on concealing her face:

"Anyway... give it a try..."

PS: Waaaaaah, kitty

PS2: Finally, all the actors have arrived and the cause and effect have been explained... History begins to change from here. Here it comes: an unprecedented saturation rescue operation for this land.

We are not helpless in the face of natural disasters...

But... what will be the price...?

The Mystery of Medic 2: The Sword that Cuts Through the Calamity

What were the Sarkaz's feelings as they watched the crowds, terrified by the threat of natural disaster, retreat underground?

Just as the night has always been a friend of the Sarkaz in their ongoing holy war with the Sarkaz... the dark clouds in the sky seem to be merely a slight easing of the oppressive atmosphere for Princess Theresa and her followers.

Neither raging winds nor thunder could deter the Sarkaz amidst the natural disasters… Compared to human malice, natural disasters were as docile as a cat being stroked… As long as you didn't deliberately provoke 'It,' you wouldn't get hurt.

"OK! We're done here!"

After inspecting the last building, the trainee officers waved to Elva, who was suspended in the air by Matilda. Meanwhile, Theresa, who was browsing through magazines at a newsstand, also exchanged glances with her subordinates before waving upwards… This gesture was naturally seen by Amiya, who was monitoring that direction.

After tugging at Matilda and confirming that everyone was beginning to return to the assembly point, Amiya and the other two, who were in command, made a final check to ensure that no one else was coming before landing... Flag

The Sarkaz mercenaries were currently counting off to see if anyone was missing, while the three trainee police officers, who had been working together all day, finally had a rare moment to drink water and rest, as their physical condition was not as good as the Sarkaz's.

"All residents in this area have been evacuated." Wu

"It went much more smoothly than I expected, Amiya, and all the Sarkaz mercenaries... Thank you!"

Looking at Elvana's clear smile, Theresa, with a smile on her face, held little Amiya in front of her, as if to say, 'It's all thanks to Amiya.'

"Next, are we going back?" Jiu

Just as the kitten, its feet off the ground and limbs dangling naturally, was asking Amiya a question in what appeared to be a crouching posture, a sudden, enormous sound and vibration—causing simultaneous expressions of pain in all races with heightened hearing—resonated throughout the entire mobile city area.

The Sarkaz mercenaries instantly drew their weapons and pointed them at their surroundings, while the junior officers reacted much more normally in comparison.

"What's going on?! What's that noise?!"

"...Artillery fire?"

"Um, Sister Thea, this isn't a war zone..."

Seeing that the mercenaries' misunderstanding seemed to be spreading, Elva rubbed her ears and explained:

"It sounds like the city's blockchain is being forcibly decoupled... I'm afraid the municipal government can't wait for the internal circulation switch..."

"That means..."

Nodding, Elva affirmed Amiya's reasoning:

"The core city is about to start moving... Fortunately, Lei Shi has already arranged for people to handle this in advance, and the moving city beneath our feet will also start moving soon."

Seeing the incredibly optimistic Elva, Amiya's pessimistic speculation was abruptly halted... But unlike the understanding bunny, Matilda always believed in speaking her mind:

"...More importantly, isn't the natural disaster already at a point where the core city can no longer wait?"

Just as the kitten finished speaking, the 'crackling' sound of something falling around them caught Amiya and Elva's attention:

"This is--?!"

"(I) 1 Device Siji Guiji Dam Active Source Stone?!"

The rain began to fall with a pattering sound. While the gang's half-baked messengers and trainee police officers were in chaos, the mercenaries mostly put on their masks quietly... Meteor even took out supplies and handed them to the children as instructed by Theresa while they were shouting.

"The Originium rain brings active Originium. During the fall, some will explode due to differences in activity, while most will shatter directly into active Originium dust... Cover your mouth and nose, wear a mask, and if possible, protect your glasses with goggles as well... This is the only way to minimize the risk of Oripathy."

Not really listening to Theresa's explanation, the kitten just sensed her kindness in wanting to take care of it, so it obediently let Meteorite put those uncomfortable things on it...

Looking at the sky, Matilda squinted slightly. Then, noticing the mercenaries around her raising shields or removing doors and other sturdy objects to shield their heads as they prepared to leave, Matilda looked at Amiya, who was so frightened she was pulling at her ear:

"...Amiya, are you scared?"

"This is... the first time I've ever witnessed such extreme weather as Originium Rain..."

"Don't be afraid, I will protect Amiya... and everyone else."

As she spoke, the kitten imitated the mercenaries' posture, using her ability to lift a table and cover the two of them with it... After discovering that this was indeed feasible, the kitten became excited and piled up roadside vehicles, trash cans, and even anything that looked like it could withstand the Originium rain on their heads.

At least in this moment, the kitten truly kept its promise...

But for the mercenaries, the gang girls, and even the trainee police officers, the sight of a heavy object floating overhead that looked like it could fall at any moment, with Originium raining down in the distance, instantly turned the scene into hell... a kind of fear that whether they stuck their heads out or not, they would be killed.

Amiya, sensing the emotions of the others, could only laugh and cry as she told the kitten to stop... perhaps there would be a time when their strength would be needed even more.

The kitten, sensing the sudden fear that had gripped others, didn't quite understand... The young child couldn't help but begin to ponder:

"...So, why are people afraid?"

[People aren't actually afraid of Matilda... they're just afraid of the stones that make people sick.]

Amiya's mental chain responded to the kitten's question in this way... After tracing the source, the kitten finally focused its gaze on the seemingly endless natural disaster clouds in the sky...

"Are you all afraid of that?"

As the kitten locked onto its target, the vehicle, its windows riddled with holes from the Originium rain, was now dented in mid-air. Then, someone else's car was thrown high into the air...

The sudden, violent storm forced everyone around to cover their mouths and noses, as if a brand new storm was blowing from the earth to the sky.

The kitten watched as the vehicle's metal sheet was stripped and pierced by the Originium explosion in mid-air. Soon, the vehicle's battery was ignited by the explosion of the active Originium... The vehicle, which originally only had some damage to its outer shell, turned into a smoke bomb that faintly shimmered in mid-air and disappeared into the sky.

"I couldn't reach it...and...it's too soft..."

Summarizing her experience, the kitten deftly moved another car in mid-air. Before Amiya could stop her, the kitten crumpled the car into a ball beforehand... Even the well-traveled Sarkaz mercenaries were startled by the kitten's seemingly effortless action and involuntarily took two steps back...

Then, the kitten slammed the 'kneaded' metal ball, which it had 'rubbed' until it was firm enough, back at the 'target'.

This time, the kitten used even more force than before, and a storm powerful enough to alter the trajectory of the surrounding Originium rain rose from the ground. A twisted metal the size of a person collided with Originium fragments along its path, and a series of explosions rose in a straight line as if piercing the sky.

The kitten was very satisfied with the 'feel' of this throw. Unlike the 'soft iron' that was torn apart in the sky before, this time the iron block was sent straight into the disaster cloud...

But it wasn't like what I imagined... or like the kind of attack in comics and magazines that pierced the sky and even made the dark clouds disperse.

The natural disaster clouds in the sky remained unchanged.

The speed was enough to pierce the steel of a land-based warship, but it had no effect on the natural disaster itself... Enveloped by the disaster cloud, which was measured in hundreds of kilometers, the kitten did not realize that it was not even a pixel under the other party's dark cloud.

The real natural disaster was silent and speechless, with only the pattering 'rain' urging everyone to leave.

"...The attack is ineffective...Amiya, the Scourge...can't you kill her?"

"...Ordinary attacks are useless; our spells...can't kill a cloud..."

Amiya shook her head and took the hand of the little cat in the air:

"Let's go quickly. Next, we'll have to rely on the mobile city... Just start the engine and get it out of the disaster zone."

Just as Amiya was comforting Matilda, suddenly a cry of surprise came from the front of the group: "Elva Liuba Jiu (8) Ling Shi Lin".

Looking up, the loosely packed Originium in the sky was clattering together. What was once the size of a fist... the size of a human head... or perhaps the size of a person, the active Originium now seemed to have combined to form a house.

As the procession marched under a massive, dark cloud, the cowards screamed in terror, when another gust of wind arose... The embodiment of natural disaster, the destroyer of the city, the enormous active source stone that everyone had been watching was suddenly cleaved in two.

Suddenly, a 'sword' appeared in the dark clouds in the sky... It was originally the concrete road surface of the fourth block of Tikkarendo.

After being "picked up" by the kitten and given a little "makeover", the girl became skeptical of her best friend's claim that the kitten was "indestructible" and put it into practice.

The heavy stone sword swept across the sky with a whistling sound more terrifying than any natural disaster. It was like a dull knife cutting dough; although it was difficult, a strong cut would eventually cut away some pieces... The huge meteorite split in two, then in four... But as the cat watched, it felt like no matter how it tried to cut the rocks above its head, they were all heading straight for it. So, the kitten puffed out its cheeks and held the 'sword' horizontally, swatting at the rocks in the sky as if it were swatting mosquitoes at home.

Accompanied by the terrifying sound of the active source stone being squeezed and deformed, and the impact and intense heat of the explosion, a few 'raindrops' were swept away at this moment... The kitten smiled as it looked at its dumbfounded friend:

"You see, it doesn't seem to be completely...ineffective..."

As the still enormous Originium, now chopped into four pieces, landed in the distance of the city...

A series of roars, explosions, the twisting of steel, and screams of people followed... Floating in the air, watching the city suddenly crumble without its notice, the kitten witnessed its own power for the first time.

And... even with such powerful abilities, nothing can be changed... 'nature'.

……

…………

A hundred kilometers outside of Ticalondo's fourth district, a crackling sound suddenly came from the porthole of a Colombian Homeland Security Agency special agent ship.

"...The Originium rain is falling..."

As soon as Nana finished speaking, Originium began to explode against the glass with a series of crackling sounds...

As the white-haired first mate, who always stood beside the captain, calmly gave the order to close the window, the hinges of the armor plate outside the glass slowly tightened, trapping active Originium dust and debris between the glass and the armor.
