Shattering Humanity Chapter 149: ••....Wazzat?!

{Back Track One Month. Hanabi City Park. 8:20 P.M.}

The new, Nephilim led, Squad 1 has their gazes fixed on the unexpected ’civilian’ that approached them. Tristan navigates around Bethany and walks towards the fellow pre-grad HFF student.

Jay: "Long ti, no see, ’Triss’. I should’ve known you would’ve survived this ’trial’. So where’s your wifey?"

Once Tristan gets close enough, they EyeEngage and it catches Jay off guard.He has the normal, perplexed reaction that every IceEye user has during their first EyeEngagent.

Jay: "Woah, what the hell is going on? Sorry Triss, I just woke up with this thing today and I’m still learning how to use it.Ermm, HEY EYE, TURN OFF!"

He hits his right temple and they disengage but from Tristan’s control. The young marital engaged man, already confused about the worrying situation happening within the mountains, is even more befuddled by Jay’s appearance and his unexplainable uniform.

Tristan: "Jay... how did you get out here?!Why are you still dressed in your Academy uniform?!"

Jay gives Tristan a confused look and a raised eyebrow, then looks at the clothes of the Student Captain. Tristan points at his own Squad 1 sweatshirt while showing it to the unknowingly exiled student.

Tristan: "You should’ve gotten a sweatshirt with your na and Squad number on it, the sa day we got assigned to squads."

Jay rubs the back of his head and lets out a defeated sigh.

Jay: "I ain’t gunna lie bro, I’m a little worried about my overall mory. You’re one of my boys from Combat Training, so you already know about my amnesia, but I can’t rember not only my life before this apocalypse, but also of eting my Squad and leaving the Sister Mountains."

Tristan: "What?!"

Nobody notices Nephilim and Silpheed on the other side of the helicopter, codically hiding, knowing all the answers to the mysterious situation.

Nephilim(whisper yelling): "Isn’t he one of the two students I had you take to Son Goku City?"

Silpheed starts sweating again, nodding.

Bethany rests her chin on Tristan’s shoulder, looking at the handso, dark skinned young man across from them.

Bethany: "Wow, you survived in Hell while passed out, after the IceEye transfer? You’re pretty lucky."

Jay: "Haha, yeah. The last thing I rember before waking up, out here in Hell, was opening the door with the Squad 20 tag and walking into a dark room. When I woke up, I found this old SunSword set on a rotten body, and fought my way here."

Nephilim and Silpheed turn and look at each other.

Nephilim(quietly): "You made sure he didn’t see you when he walked in the room and you used your ability on him, right Silpheed?"

Silpheed barely nods.

Silpheed: "Aii- shiir- ahh- dah- riighz- uff- bifoor- ee- wogd- nn, Nef-e-uh-um- Zr."

Nephilim(quietly): "Good thinking, I didn’t originally plan on turning off the lights but I’m lucky I can trust you to improve a plan, Silph."

He leaves the cover of the aircraft, and Jay looks at the new General approaching him.

Nephilim: "Well, the questions just never stop and with only so little ti to answer them, am I right? Nice to et you young man, I am Gray’s replacent for HFF’s General, I go by Nephilim."

The General holds out his hand for the young exiled man, Jay, accepts the sign of unity.

Jay: "The na’s Jay, so did I make the top 15, General Nephilim?"

The General chuckles and shakes his head.

Nephilim: "There’s a lot that’s happened in the past few days you might not be aware of and I’m afraid the situation you believe you were in, is not actually reality. For ’so unknown reason’, you were kidnapped and exiled from the mountains, but from proof of you being here, you’re more than capable enough to be a soldier."

From behind the helicopter, Silpheed is watching the eting between the surviving student and the General, but behind Silpheed, high heels step in the small amount of accumulated SeiõrSnow on the ground. Silpheed quickly turns around and unsheathes a SunSword.

From a bottom up, panning view that quickly covers MamMon DæMon in her black cloak with money tree patterns, her hood down revealing her identity.

The beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed DæMon holds out her hand, now with gold painted fingernails.

MamMon DæMon: "Relax, Child of Seiõr. I am not your enemy. Please, let speak with the man who you see as your superior, Nephilim."

Silpheed: "Oo- ahh- ouu?"

MamMon DæMon: "All will be explained in a mont, my dear little cousin.Poor thing, you were also born through the ill wills of improper life givers."

Silpheed cautiously sheathes the SunSword back, then proceeds to appear from behind the Blackhawk with the DæMon.

Nephilim turns around with the rest of the young group behind him.

Tristan: "Who are you?!"

Bethany grips the handle of her SunSword but the leader of the group holds his hand out to not cause any unnecessary actions. He notices Silpheed’s compliance with the new individual and gives a smile towards the blonde woman.

Nephilim: "I sure hope you are soone who can help answer these questions, and not just another on the list."

The woman smiles back at him.MamMon DæMon: "I assure you, I am here as an ally with relieving information, ’Erinyes Nephilim’.

Erinyes Nephilim: "...’Erinyes’?"

Silpheed moves towards the rest of the group behind Nephilim, right next to Jay. The newest mber of the group looks at the confusing attire and mostly covered face of Silph.He then smiles and holds out his fist.

Jay: "What’s up? I’m Jay. Your style is wild, but I fuck with it."

Silpheed confused of the friendly gesture, grips the fist and shakes it like at handshake.

Silpheed: "Zi-rrfee. Nii- oo- eeh- ouu-."

Jay tilts his head with a raised eyebrow and a chuckle.

Jay: "Haha! What? You gotta take the mask off for to understand you, bro. If you’re self conscious, don’t worry, we’re all a little ugly. You shouldn’t be ashad of the way you look."

Silpheed’s uncovered cheek blushes and looks at the ground, then looks at the discussion happening between Nephilim and MamMon DæMon.

MamMon DæMon: "My current na is ’MamMon DæMon’, and I am part of one of the first three waves of children born in the DæMon clan."

Nephilim: "DaeMon?"

MamMon DæMon: "No, glorious Nephilim, that is the pissna of my young, naive sister, Laban. The true clan na is ’DæMon’ and she is by far the weakest of us all. As of now she has already been defeated by Skalmönd, or the one you all know as Shelly."

Tristan and Jay’s eyes widen from hearing this news.

Jay: "She’s fighting demons? Well, I’ve heard rumors that she has a tragic backstory, so it makes sense."

MamMon gets an irritated expression but takes a deep breath.

MamMon DæMon: "Not demons, young, naive, ’dumb’ man. The phonetics of the nas may be similar, but those of us with the true DæMon na, can beco far more horrifying than those personifications of human selfishness."

Tristan: "Wait! Shelly and Katsu are in Roronora City?"

MamMon DæMon: "They have taken care of business over a few hours ago and are back at their ho base within the underwater tunnel. They easily invaded the city you all saw was flourishing and took it over from my sister within an hour."

Nephilim gets a worried look, hearing of Katsu and Shelly’s ability to make the Don submit. The sa Don who curb stomped one of her citizens and forced a slave to kill their owner for citizenship.

MamMon DæMon: "That Valkyrie reincarnate now has one of her slain grandmother’s legendary swords and all of Roronora City under her control.Well, we all know who really has control over her."

Tristan looks at the ground and then at the stars in the night sky. SeiõrSnow falling around him.

Tristan: "...Katsu..."

He looks surprised after thinking about sothing.

Tristan: "What a second, how do you know all this and where did you co from?!"

MamMon wipes her nose with a cocky smirk.

MamMon DæMon: "It’s ironic my little sister’s alien eye ability was also one of the basic techniques that she couldn’t comprehend. I can do the sa exact sa thing her Omnipotence N-Eye does and even I can even see the imdiate future of others. Only enforcing my previous statent, ’she is the weakest out of all of us’."

Nephilim gets a gitty smile after hearing confirmation on his theory, after all the ntal power to figure out the Don’s ability.

Nephilim: "So her eye ability was a form of Omnipotence! Haha!"

MamMon DæMon: "With that being said, I took the liberty of also taking complete control of a pre-established society to prepare for their inevitable invasion."

Tristan starts sweating and everyone is silent as the wind is the only sound heard.

Tristan: "Wh- What do you an, ’complete control of a pre-established society’? And another thing, Katsu and Shelly would never hurt innocent people! If the Sisters are dead, and they are the people who put bounties on all of them, let’s patch things up! Before a serious misund-!"

Nephilim and MamMon DæMon: "NO!"

The young adult takes a step back from the imdiate decision.

Nephilim: "Young Tristan, I’ve already told you, Mina Daisuki is not to be trusted. If what this woman says is true, it seems your old friends have embraced the role of ’Terrorists’. They are taking over cities with value and destroying cities to start rebuilding in their image."

The DæMon looks at her nails while answering the question.

MamMon DæMon: "The reincarnation of Skalmönd is not an ally. She will be known by the people as an angel of death. She will cause conflict, for her own happiness, and the benefits of her specific ’tribe’. That is the way for all the followers of Yang. They claim their actions are justice, but in actuality, their view of justice is just THEIR path towards happiness. Acknowledging the occasional and brief abandonnt of hope, is needed for all life to grow."

Jay thinks about the slight struggle he’s had to overco, other than just an alien apocalypse.

Jay(thinking): *She’s right. The night after I first woke up in Hell, I thought about giving up. I figured, 15 other students HAD to have made it back to the mountains before the night fall. Ughhh! Why does everything have to be confusion or a new question that doesn’t get answered!?*

MamMon DæMon: "Since you, General Nephilim, made the first move in the overthrowing, I took the initiative of making sure the remaining Sisters were eliminated by the ti you returned. Don’t worry, all civilians were spared and only a handful of security casualties died protecting the ho that protected them and their loved ones. Thanks to you and I, Erinyes Nephilim, the people of those mountains have been liberated and I have promised them all, THIS CITY, as the first step towards regaining freedom."

Nephilim: "Wait...how did you?-"

Holding her hand with golden painted nails to her smiling mouth, she chuckles.

MamMon DæMon(chuckles): "Basic bribery and espionage, ’Neffy’. Oh...aannnd with interdiate knowledge of Seiõr, haha!"

Everyone is completely and codically confused with •__• faces, since this is the first ti the term Seiõr is used in front of them.

From the back, behind Nephilim, Bethany slowly raises her hand.

Bethany: "...Wazzat?"
