THE BLACKLIGHT

"Are you sure we're in the right place Yuji-san?" Misaki asked, glaring at the big mansion,

"Yes" Yuji conformed, "But, we need to wait for him",

"Who", Misaki inquired Yuji "Who else knows about our plan",

"Here I am!" Fumihiro nonchalantly notified, walking towards them from their back "God, why you standing in front gate, get in already",

Hearing his voice, Misaki stormily turned, "Kishino! And Miyoshi, Why you two here!?,"

Fumihiro miffed "Huh, why? I was going to begin with, only you here?"

"Enough both of you!" Yuji stopped them "I asked them to come now, let's go in".

They open the Iron Gate grill and, walking on a narrow plain cement made footpath between two gardens decorated with nice trees, the gardeners and maids keep decorating it.

The mansion seemly odd than the other, its European structure making it different from the norms. The fantasy fashion butler showed to the waiting room, they waited.

"I wonder kind of man that spider is?" Misaki loudly wondered,

Yuji while closed eyes sipped the given tea "We see in a minute".

*BANG*,

The door widely opened "My friends, cosa posso fare per voi oggi (what can I do for you today)" a familiar voice, violent them,

Excluding Yuji and Miyoshi who still sit the rest are in violent mode,

"Tomita Mitsumasa!" Misaki rebuked, when she saw his face again, then she looked at Yuji conforming, "Yuji-san is he the spider you talked about, he is the Chasepic Ripper, how do you trust him?",

Yuji silently nods "I consulted him about Shinsuke's conditions and he gladly volunteer to help",

"How could he be alive?" Fumihiro yield Misaki "We buried him on the ground in Steel Mill",

"I survived!" Tomita loudly declared "Having one arm ripped off is enough" he stroking around his both hands apparently it's been healed including his body, "My master punished me for my sins" swings his limbs in random direction "Now he is in danger and I will serve him with all my might",

"Quit, your rambling and tell me how you still alive!" , Fumihiro hoarsely said,

Tomita explained, "I rise up from the cage, consuming few Walkers then I used the rest of Walker's bodies and blood on the chimney for reduced the flames then I climb my way up through the end", then he vaguely mocked Fumihiro "You still foolishly asked question without using your logic, you shouldn't forget your lesson that I taught you the other day",

Fumihiro frowned, "Say that again, you f.u.c.k.i.n.g piece of shit"

"Stop! you two" , Misaki interrupted him and says "How you intend to find Shinsuke?"

Tomita snorted "I imagined Miyoshi's tracking ability couldn't worked, that's explained why you are here, " he eyed Miyoshi "You can't sense him couldn't you, Miyoshi sweetie?"

She shook her head "No, ordinarily I track him with sonar, I succeed at first" she mumbled in regret "But this time I can't found him",

"Hmmm" Tomita hummed put his finger on the chin "Maybe, Shinsuke was out of range or he's deep inside that you can't sense the impulse coming back to you".

Miyoshi confusingly nods,"If she can't track him", Misaki went in "How can you find him",

"Remember this, Amici miei (My fellow friends) Tomita straighten his hand "If superpower ways wouldn't work, we have to rely on the old way",

"Can you explained more, what I say? More detailly", said Misaki with narrowed brows,

Tomita coughed, "Aha-ah, thing I want to say is, I ask around with my homeless networks, they professionally informed me of the Spectre's secret bases and Strongholds even classified black sites but you have to give me some weeks even months, in worse",

"Do what you have to, but..." Misaki frowned, giving Tomita a sullen look "Don't you dare double crossed us or try anything funny, I'm in a very bad mood",

"In a matter of my master's safety, I won't procrastinate" Tomita ensured her, "I will do what needs to serve my master".

"I got one single question!" Fumihiro pointed out, everyone eyed him as he speaks "Why you trying help us? I mean literally, don't tell me, he's your master or something like that, you don't seem like a man who blindly obeyed Shinsuke, what's your play here?",

Tomita huff "Since it's time of emergency I should show you", he moves his hand towards the eye-patch "Mitsumasa family had secret ritual, we conducting to serve the Mutant Emperors for centuries, we transform into a real thing, my father and grandfather served the real 18th Mutant Emperor, he had both red eye, I was looking for the Mutant who had One Red-eye, and" he lifts the eye-patch showing his eye,

Everyone exclaimed when they saw an empty socket, he don't have one eye, just nil hole,

"We sacrifice one eye for the Emperor to show our loyalty," Tomita explains while showing "They take my eye when I was in Europe, do you still think I'd betrayal my master?".

"Fair enough" Yuji stands up "You begin your search, when you find anything, inform me and..." He grazed at the rest "You three return to Friendo's as nothing has happen, the searching may be take longer, you have to wait".

Everyone nods for understanding, specially Misaki; she clenched her hand, ready to go as soon she find his location.

.....

"Ahhhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhhh, Aaaraggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!", Akagi extensively rumbled for being steady electrified,

"What organisation who working for, Speak!" the interrogator shouted in Akagi's ear,

"You know what" one interrogator suggests, "I done with electricity, it burn him up, nothing changed",

"What do you want to do with him?" other interrogator asked,

The first, thought for a while then he says "Something, he will remember for the rest of his life, aaha!" he got a nasty idea "Hey! Give that plier over the table...We will cut his finger" as given he went to pick that plier

"No, no, stop!" The other interrogator stops him, after his previous command, the other interrogator adds, "Mix that serum around the edges, thus he will never be bringing back his lost finger".

A piece of memory stuck Akagi, he remember that serum disabled Mutant's abilities as well as the reduced healing factor, he rapidly denying struggled to break free.

The interrogator comes near him with serum mixed plier "What finger should we cut out?" he sadistically asked,

"I know right finger to cut" Without saying farther, the first interrogator grabbed the plier and comes closer towards Akagi,

"Want to be married someday, huh?" He mockingly inquire Akagi,

But he didn't answer, just went weeping in pain,

He slipped the plier into Akagi's left hand,

"Aragghh, Aragghhhhhh!!!!", he bawled, leaping from the chains that he tied n.a.k.e.d,

"Oh, hou, ho!!!", The interrogator laughing in amus.e.m.e.nt "Look, I got your ring finger," he waves Akagi's finger around his face "You never going to be married, what a shame"

Sharp Plier cuts Akagi's ring finger,

"Serum sipped through the wound, making it even more painful, the parasitic serum shuts most of my abilities except the healing factor, it's only way I could survive so long, each time it tried to regenerate it failed, making it even broader pain than usual. After a certain time it stopped healing, my finger was gone permanently, it will never come back, a dozens thoughts revolving around my head, thinking what else they'd going to cut next, am I going to die now? How long I'm going to suffer like this'".

"Now, we'll make sure that he die bachelor" The interrogator sickly joked,

"I say, we could cuts his P.e.n.i.s," the other suggested "That way he'll die v.i.r.g.i.n!",

"Hahaha!!!" the first one laughed, tossed Akagi's finger, "We will make sure even if he survived, he'll never going to f.u.c.k any women", then they laughed at the sickly jokes at they said,

"They bind me on a small shitty room with an old-fashioned light bulb top of my head, making it look even shitter and yellow".

"Soon door wide open their superior arrived with a grim look on his face, although I can't see his face but I could hear him",

"How about it, Did you discover more?" he sternly asked the others.

"We yet to discover he's with the Helecter or any other fraction, we still do not know yet", the current interrogator replied,

The Superior glared at Akagi's sobbing face muttering, "Damn Mutant, hiding deep within MRC, digging the files about The Outbreak" He harshly ordered "Find if he knows anything about the Operation Valentino, he is with the MRC Branch after all, keep pushing him!"

"Yes sir!" interrogator obeyed,

"As the officer obeyed" Akagi thought "They tried harder wanted to find something I did not know".

"At times, if they were pissed that comes from personal matters. To calm their anger they intentionally sent me to a solitaire cell. Where I spent five to six days sometimes for whole week. The cell was so small, disgusting, and smelly beyond human imagination, at night it was dark, cold, and no sign of living contact, sometimes I thought I was going to die slowly or losing my mind and perhaps recovery from my hand crushed, waiting for my pending death".

"Someday I was, they decided to throw me into my original cell, and they did".

"I crawled on the floor, bearing the pain they inflicted on, I leaned on the wall, sobbing my eyes out, for how long they intend to torture me like this, how much they wanted to do with me, I lost my finger, what else I going to lost".

"Hiro is not here, wonder he's even alive" Akagi whisper to himself "As I lay down about to sleep"

"Your time is up!" never spoken old man finally speaks "Whatever you hiding spill out now or you'll suffered later",

Don't understand anything Akagi questions him "What are you saying, I don't know anything, and who are you?"

"My name is Eiji Nakanishi",

"You're name is Eiji, aren't you little old to be here?" Akagi coughs continuing in mumbled "They tortured you because they think you're a informant or some kind of spy",

Eiji slightly smirked, "Then you're in shit, they already convinced, you're the informant that's enough reason to punish you",

"Why you telling all this now? Are you a spy?" Akagi questioned,

"I'm also not a spy, although I was digging about the Operation Valentino, That operation caused me separate from my family, they are now Test subjects in MRC's Headquarter and I'm their detainee",

"Wh-what are you saying?" Akagi maunders in confusion "Your family is held in the MRC's Headquarter?",

Eiji sighed leaning back "My wife and my daughter I was also their experimental test subject but I escaped with a collaborator".

Eiji explained little farther "What I discovered, in depth of MRC's headquarter there is Spectre's special research unit called Bio technology corporation, in their laboratory there horrors beyond imaging.

There tests conducted by their scientist"

"Mutants?" Akagi asked, "Those are the ones experiments on?"

"Not just Mutants, even human and their children, they taking Mutant's blood injected on the them, making them into a Mutant, obviously it couldn't work, but they doing it all over, as vast population in city, who cares some of them just disappeared, the people will blame the Mutants for doing nothing, if somehow they succeed to their project, they will use them as their weapon".

"Do you have any prove to your accusation?" Akagi grouse,

Eiji slightly snorted "I had a feeling you won't believe me, because it very classified no one should know but there is someone escape from the lab, make a video of few the experiments they're conducting, when I was there, I saw more than 20,000 captured Mutants, still holding in deeper point of MRC's Headquarter",

"Tell me his name" Akagi insisted "If you know his name please tell me",

He eyed Akagi "What you care, you die anyway," then Eiji sighed "Alright, I tell you".

"When Eiji told his name the one who helped him escape and also made a video about what's going on in the MRC's Headquarter, when I hear his name again I was shocked, thinking what I got myself into, from that day my father infected me, he also throw a unsolved puzzle, telling me to solve, from I collected some minor and major pieces from various people, not sure that I got all that but I unintentionally joining together performing a new perception about my purpose".....
