[ Maj. Fugimoto perspective ]

This is my second time encountering that man after that morning. Once the sun was fully up what we saw was the picture of hell. Dead soldiers strew about in pecies or half vaporized and dark flames. Truly made a picture of hell as that man stood casually in a blood lake. Feeding an eye ball to the flaming dark bird of his. As he held one of the only living soldiers upby the neck.

His left eye ripped out as it was just fed to that bird. They talked for a bit then the man was engulfed in flames. The bird pouncing him and feasting on the burning man in delight. While he started to walk away before the bird quickly dived. Back into his shadow fast leaving the man to burn. That same monster is back today with Seijirou for a meeting. But what meeting involves realistic drawings of more than eight hundred.

Dead soldiers and records and a general of the US army. They also dragged one of the scientists along with them the person. Was kicking and screaming that their innocent but the words fell on deaf ears. As both men are monsters and men no one wants to fight. Just whatever that scientists did they'll never come back. Just don't let such a monster become an enemy please.

[ Kikuoka Seijirou Perspective ]

Today I'm at project "Soul Transference" base with my good friend. Biazar Chimera. Or as many people and players know him as the Joking Reaper. He helped us greatly in defending this place while getting information. On over eight hundred special forces members cultivated. By general Deckler of the US army in some twisted experiments. Today Deckler is going to disappear as his government has given him up. After all the evidence was stacked to high against him.

Just he doesn't know he's been given up on by his government. So I hope his last willis prepared since the reaper won't forgive. So even if he begs no one can stop the reaper once he's mad. Witha silent two finger prayer I hope he burns in hell. Once we we're in a secluded office the scientists who sold information. Gets crippled and stuck onto the far right wall, a flaming black bird. Sitting on one of the things hanging them the wall and watching them. I asked him what that bird was once and he said something absurd.

"Oh while traveling in Hawaii one day I found this little guy. As an egg but he was dying so I just kept it alive subtly. While turning into a death Phoenix, he got a taste for flesh cause of it. But he's one hundred precent alive and breathing!"

That cheerful reply made me down a whole bottle of whiskey. As this man even before that death game did occasional supernatural. Stuff without hiding it from me as he knew that. If I talked about it I'd be seen as crazy and locked up! Sighing me and him sat down in our chairs waiting five hours. Till our dead man walking with the remaining forces of his arrived. The door was locked and so he was trapped inside with a reaper. While his men were all slaughtered elsewhere silently. By some of the reapers temporary revived enemies ripping them apart.

Once general Deckler sat down he had this haughty look on hie face.

"So did you call me here to show or give me some things of a project?"

He didn't even notice the distressed scientist hanging. On the wall and crippled just waiting for death. He just wanted our project but he suddenly looked towards my friend. Raising an eyebrow before speaking.

"What are you doing here? You discharged piece of shit son of those insane generals. You here to lick my boots and suck my ċȯċk begging to be re-enlisted? Ha! Maybe if you do well enough but honestly its better if I kill you and your family!"

This man had jusr reaffirmed his death and when that scientist. Squaeled the bird eating his eyes suddenly the general realized. That his informat was here and that there was files. Of eight hundred missing soldiers on the table before him. He tried to grab a gun hidden under his jacket but that arm. Was severed then pinned to the table edge by a dagger. While Chimera was already on the table crouched before Deckler. His eye's had become a bloodier crimson since last time.

He said I'm free to tune everything out this is gonna be messy. So before I knew it I fell into a trance watching Deckler, and the scientist be tortured. The scientist was played with by the bird that seemed to be having fun. While Deckler was getting the brunt of it slowly and painfully. His fingers were broken one by one loudly as they basically tore off. Before his hand and arm had the bones shattered internally. This kind of scene went on for a while really but through out it. I Seijirou of the special defense ministry was in trance watching men die.

As they weren't simply allowed to die but made to wish so. Before finally after the scientist was nothing but ash stains on the wall. Deckler was finally allowed death by the reaper he'd angered. After having his organs removed one by one, his bones shattered to dust and his blood boiled. The reaper finally granted him death by vaporizing his body and organs. With a few flicks of his fingers leaving only a blood pool. As any indication that Deckler ever existed as a person.

That once we left the room a clean up crew entered and silently. Cleaned everything up while we went to see what remains of the soldiers Deckler brought. What we saw was mangled bodies and the occasional half eaten to the bone skeleton. All before the death Phoenix burnt everything away in its black flames. Thus concluding this little event for today but there'll be more.
