『...Is a celebration of war.』
What am i watching? They are celebrating murdering eachother, but they are also celebrating their victory.
"They really went all out" it was Dae-hyun who said that while standing next to me, our team leader with his hands on his hips. Countless confetti kept dropping from the sky and onto York-2 right below us.
Another float went by, this one carrying a large nuclear weapon with the power of 500 megaaton that was last used 200 years ago because of its devastating impact. It was named the spear of longinus. It was also the bomb that destroyed canada and won the USA the war... only for america to go into a war again, this time with every government in the world thanks to the global fallout this caused.
But also thanks to that bomb governments began building weather manipulating plants, every where. The entirety of north america was in a nuclear winter for about 5 years, and it took them 20 years to get back on their feet, somewhat atleast. And now that same bomb is being displayed for all to see. People where waving their american flags outside their walls, hands were being waved everywhere and i, i stood there just watching. Dae-hyun glanced at my glistening eyes.
"Are you... about to cry or something?"
"No... im just thinking alot"
But then something caught my attention, a hooded figure climbing onto the next float that carried a military general, two AV's flying alongside the float. The beared man waved his hand at the people with a bright smile. There were countless of badges on his uniform. The bearded man was a army general
『Who was that... no way no one noticed her』
I took a step forward and my expression hardened. I tapped my glabella in hopes that i got an idea
『I might be able to slip away... but ill get a harsh punishment! No, that person up there is definitely suspicious』
"Captain, i think i saw someone climb onto the float!"
「Whats he yapping about?」Dae-hyun thought and stared at the float, his pupils turning red
"I don't see anyone, my optics didn't pick up a presence either"
He told me and crossed his arms
『Must be some cheap ass implants!』
BOOM!
the entire right side of the float exploded, and the general was decapitated by a cloaked figure. The doors of the AV's opened and the guards inside began letting loose, firing all their bullets towards the escaping figure
『Knew it!』
I jumped off the side, my hair whipping around as i landed on a walkway and began running towards the retreating figure, my optics couldn't track her down probably because of some implant they had so i couldn't lose them. I slipped through a crowded market of people selling different food items and slid under some pipes. The figure jumped off a person and run along a wall before slipping into an alley way
『You ain't running!』
I quickly run after them, using my chimera skin to my advantage. With a boosted jump i ran after them, drones were flying around looking for the same person, cautiously i took a step forward.
Looking left and right the figure was nowhere to be seen. But eventually my search led me to the edge of York-3
『Shit... no way i lost them!』
The clouds beneath the floating city were gathered up like a cotton ball, there were a few black specks, the city below us.
"Huh..." i shook my head and turned around
"Looking for me?"
A large 7 foot tall frame, a muscular man with fully cybernetic arms wearing a cloak and combat boots. He raised his foot and landed a front kick right on my chest, sending me over the edge
"Fucking sky rats" he spat out as i fell throigh the sky
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" all i could hear was the wind whipping harshly, my screams being driven away
[WARNING!]
[WARNING!]
no- i can't die now! Not-

Ha-joon and Sun-Young were walking through the maze of alleyways trying to find the cloaked figure.
"Got any ideas for where he could be? I mean he couldn't have gotten far away, not in this city, not with how crowded it currently is" Sun-Young spoke with irritation.
「With how many people are hunting that guy, we should be able to find him!」
Screams began spreading like wildfire as people found out about the explosion, crowds moved like large waves.
"This is just damn perfect..."
[TARGET SPOTTED IN ADAM'S STREET]
the notification along with a map appeared on every exterminator's vision.
"Lets go" ha-joon quickly said and used the Chimera skin's power to jump off the walls and climb onto the top of a building.
"W-wait for me!"
________________________________________
Adam's street.
"He's somewhere around here!"
"Don't lose the bastard!"
American kaiju exterminator's shouted as they searched the place urgently.
Ha-joon and Sun-Young had just arrived two minutes after receiving the coordinates, with the kaiju exterminators hq being two kilometers away.
Sun-Young suddenly sat on the ground and her cross-shaped pupils dilated before turning blue.
「I should be able to find him like this.」
Countless screens appeared in Sun-Young's vision, these screens were camera footage of the surrounding street. Obviously this had a toll on her, causing her right eye to begin bleeding slightly
"i hope i have enough... ram for this"
But even with this all she could see was swarms of people, was finding this guy impossible? Why would he kill that general?
What was the man's goal?
"Im looking, but i can't find a single thing yet, he's completely gone"
[TARGET SPOTTED IN ADAM'S STREET]
Where?! Just where is this man?! More than 50 people were actively looking for him
Drones flew above the crowds scanning the masses in hopes of finding the perpetrator but no progress was made. Ha-joon was standing by Sun-Young's side the whole time waiting for her to spot anything, anything!
"Looking for me? Im right behind ya" a deep voice let out a chuckle and Sun-Young turned around to see the barrel of a shotgun aimed right at her face
