"Geez, Kagura-san... You always do this... You gotta stop, you know? You carry a whole lot of responsibility being a high alternate-user and all."
Hikari, laying on the backseat being barely able to talk, replied, "Yeah yeah... I know... I'm so important, right...?"
The wards that Group 2 patrolled over were Kita, Adachi, Katsushika and Edogawa. They were currently up in the northern part of Kita ward driving on a road along The Arakawa River, it was a peaceful night. The distant city lights and the way they reflected beautifully on the river, the cold breeze and the lush greenery present there. It was all so calming.
"Oi, Jiro-kun. How long has it been since you became our driver?"
"Hmmm... I think its been about 6 years already."
"Wo- Woah... Wow... ti- time really passes, huh?"
"It sure does, Kagura-san. I've had to deal with so much of your shenanigans over these six years, you know?"
Hikari chuckled. "You sure have, man. Just to let you know, there's still a whole lot more coming your way."
"Haha! I can't wait!" They both shared a laugh, looking back at all the moments they spent together.
"Jiro-kun, I'm real sorry about this. I'll make sure not to drink too heavily from now on."
"Its all good, Kagura-san. Just make sure tha-"
FWOOSHHH!
Suddenly, a giant stream of flames covered the whole car burning it and everything inside. The car had been turned completely black once the stream stopped.
Mei stood before the burned car with a grin on her face "Hehehehehehe... That wasn't so hard at all, he's only human after all."
Mei's unique ability, Fire Breath, allowed her to release flames from her mouth by exhaling.
Shion, Jin and Yui jumped onto the scene as well from a nearby bush. "Hmmmm... Was that really it? I was expecting more from this human since our master had labelled him as our biggest problem, you see?"
Shion looked over at Jin with a stoic expression. "He was still only human. These SOMA agents are able to tap into our power but they can never truly be us. Kagura Hikari possessed the same level of power as our masters but only when his 2nd or 3rd form was activated. That's the inherent weakness even these humans who can use our power on some level have, they cannot always be on our level. They'll be regular fragile humans for the most of their days and even this Kagura Hikari was nothing when we attacked him and caught him off guard during one of those moments."
"Hmmm... I guess that's how it is, humans are really nothing after all.", Jin replied.
"Exactly.", Shion said while turning his head to face the destroyed car.
Yui looked sad. "I'm really disappointed, I wanted to finally fight one of these humans. Though, this is good for us and I like good for us." Shion smiled as he looked towards at Yui and said, "Indeed, Yui. This is very good for u-"
crr-ee-a-k!
"Hey hey hey! Who the hell are you guys supposed to be, huh!? You really did a number on me and this car... At least start with a greeting, you insolent kids!", Hikari said as he casually opened the door and walked out of the burned car.
"What!?", All 4 of them said in their head.
"What's wrong, kids? Why're you just staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
Shin gained a furious expression on his face and began grinding his teeth. "You bastard... How did you live!?"
"Hmmm? Isn't it obvious. I activated 2nd form immediately when I felt like I was being burned. Activating it on my important parts, I was able to survive pretty darn easily.", Hikari said as huge chunks of his body, including most of his stomach area, were missing all over.
"How can he walk and stand so casually when he's body is in that condition!?"
"It doesn't matter. Prepare to die, human."
Hikari glanced at the driver seat of the car and saw that Jiro's body had been completely burned to a crisp, he was undoubtedly dead. "Is that so?", Hikari said in slightly furious tone as all the missing parts of his body began reforming due to his regeneration.
"I've already explained the weakness of the 2nd form to you 3, attack him in parts of his body where he won't have it activated."
"Got it!", All 3 of them said. Shion, Mei and Jin dashed towards Hikari and Yui stayed behind.
"There's no one else here... That means I can let loose on these bastards."
As the 3 of them started to get closer, Hikari raised up his right arm and did the finger gun gesture with his hand. A bright yellow ball of light energy began to form at the tip of his finger gun.
ZHHHHH!
"I gotta thank you kids for making me sober... I wouldn't be able to fight properly if I wasn't."
PEW!
The yellow ball of light energy shot out of Hikari's hand as a concentrated projectile and zoomed past Shion, Mei and Jin landing directly on Yui instead and exploded on impact.
Kagura Hikari's unique ability, Light, gave him the ability to generate light energy from his body and shoot it in the form of small concentrated light projectiles that explode on impact and vaporize anything within the explosion or in the form of a laser beam that vaporizes anything in its path.
"YUI!", Shion shouted and headed back to her care. Yui was on the ground and most of the left side of her body had been completely vaporized.
"YUI! REGENERATE! JUST REGENERATE! FOCUS ON THAT!", Shion screamed feeling immense fear for Yui's life.
"Arghhhh... Arghhhh-", Yui said being unable to speak properly due to parts of her mouth being vaporized.
Mei and Jin were stopped in their tracks being completely unable to move in shock of the power of one small attack fired by Hikari. They both began to sweat in fear.
"Hmmm... We're certainly in trouble, you see?"
"Damnit... I wish I got to eat more humans before I died..."
Hikari glared at both of them and asked, "What is it, huh? You kids don't wanna play anymore?"
