Chapter 51

TL&ED: Daikyun

I’m going to erase both of you from the face of the earth

< i="" have="" something="" to="" tell="" you="" after="" today’s="" mission="" is="" over="">

Finishing up his message, he sent it to Anice via mobile. He reached for the small built-in fridge inside the limo and took out a water bottle. He took a sip and calmed himself down. He was about to commit a crime.

He decided that the plan to draw out the top two members of the Rocks Organization would be a bank robbery.

Normally, Crimson would never commit a petty act of robbery in their own territory. Not only would their business get affected, but the money they stole would have a depreciated value on the international market, making the robbery not worthwhile.

But today, his objective wasn’t to steal the money. It’s for him to create a situation where he could face off against the two heroes. The only way to draw them both out at the same time was to commit a large scale crime where they were absolutely needed to stop the perpetrators.

The members of his team were Niina, Him and a few other of his subordinates from Crimson in charge of the Manhattan area. The other members under him were tasked off to sealing the island of Manhattan to prevent any further interruption from response teams.

This still worried him. What if he were to be gravely injured in the fight and can’t go on? What would happen to Niina and his subordinates? This kept him thinking.

Having a lot of experience in fighting, He knew that things rarely go according to plan.

[Senpai… do you think we’ll be okay today…?]

They were now moving towards their designated position when Niina asked him. Of course, He already explained his plan to Niina multiple times.

[… Hm? Are you worried about the robbery? Well, since it’s Crimson we’re talking about, they should have no problem considering their strength. ]

The plan was simple: Survey the area, send in the robbery team, steal the money and then get out. If the cops come, silence them. Considering Crimson has [Over Technology] and Neito at their side, silencing the police should be fairly easy.

[Ah, no, the robbery part is a piece of cake. I’m asking you if you’re going to be okay when you fight against those two.]

He barely defeated Slipknot the last time, and now, he also had to face Sonic Youth at the same time. Niina was also worried himself.

[I really don’t know… and are you going to be okay with it? Risking your life and all?]

Niina was his subordinate. He didn’t include him in his in his plan. He knew both heroes would be dangerous enough to go against.

[Risking my life… huh? Aren’t we always doing that? Well, if things go bad, I’ll immediately run anyway.]

[That’s so like you… then I’ll be counting on you to do that]

They both laughed at each other.

This guy grown so much…

[We’re about to arrive at our destination. Shall we?]

[‘Derstood senpai]

A few minutes after the plan started, Neito and his subordinates gained total control over the bank on the southern district of Manhattan. They carried the cash and the gold bars into an armored truck accompanied by a huge trailer truck and a couple of motor bikes and exited away.

He already accounted beforehand that the Guardians would block their way with barricades, but because of his other subordinates, only a few Guardians stood in their way. They still posed a significant threat

But,

[Do it]

He didn’t care. They didn’t come anything close to what was about to come to them.

With a swift order from him, they blew away the barricade with a bazooka and crashed through it at full speed. The barrica

de and the Guardian’s transport vehicles were all blown away.

In the middle of the Crimson convoy was the Limousine Neito was on. He didn’t budge from his seat ever since the operation started. Amidst the explosions and destruction, He focused on his task and continued relaying orders to his subordinates.

“Destroy everything in our way. If you don’t want to get hurt, get out of our way.”

Their vehicles never slowed down. They always maintained top speed, crashing everything in their way. They left a wake of destruction and flames in their path to those who dared stop them.

[.. Uwhaa-. Wow. This like that old Hollywood movie I once saw. If I remember right, car chases were still very popular back in the 2050s. This is crazy.]

Niina wasn’t even bothered with the amount of destruction they brought down to the city. He still focused his eyes on the monitor, checking enemy positions and relaying it to Neito.

[Hmm, crazy? We need to do something like this or we won’t draw them both out you know?]

They exited the Manhattan area and headed for the Washington Bridge. The bridge wasn’t left unguarded either. They had established a blockade to stop them.

They still didn’t posed a threat to them.

That’s right, only a hero could stop them.

Suddenly,

The lead trailer truck topple sideways. A loud noise followed a shockwave from the top of the bridge.

[?! W-what happened!?]

His subordinates were panicking.

The trailer truck was toppled side-ways on the bridge, blocking the convoy’s path. The armored car carrying the package stopped in its tracks.

Upon inspection, they found out that the front mirror of the trailer truck was shot by a large caliber rifle, hitting the driver in the shoulder. Of course, the gla.s.s pane was bullet proof but the gla.s.s was shot in the same place multiple times, breaking and piercing through it.

(TLN: Bullet proof gla.s.s can stop bullets as long as they don’t hit the same place with the same angle more the once.)

Furthermore, something came out of the Hudson River, surfing on top of the water surface, and jumped unto the bridge. It took the driver and threw him out into the river.

Of course, they had the option to blow up the lead trailer truck, but they didn’t. The whole purpose of the ploy was to be used as bait to lure the two heroes.

There was n.o.body else capable of having the accuracy to pierce through the bullet proof gla.s.s with such precision and knock the driver out of the fight so easily.

[……They’re here huh? Here we go Niina.]

[Aye Sir.]

Neito stood up and exited the limo. It would be suicide to remain within the limo and try to fight both of them off.

He gathered his subordinates and gave them orders.

[Each of you will take up arms and position yourselves on a barricade to slow down the enemy. Don’t forget to stay alert.]

Each member of under him left their vehicles and a.s.sumed defensive positions.

Neito looked at the toppled truck. A figure was visible standing on top of it. There was only one man capable of jumping that height from the Hudson River to the Bridge.

America’s strongest figure and the fastest man alive.

[He looks formidable no matter how you look at it. I see, he’s the figurehead of the Rock’s Organization huh? No wonder he looks so cool.]

The man looked like he had an aura with him as the sun set behind him.

On the other hand, the other hero was nowhere to be found. No doubt he has taken up position somewhere in the vicinity.

[Well, I can’t blame him. It’s his specialty after all. Well, I guess I’ll deal with this sonic b.a.s.t.a.r.d first]

Neito started walking toward the hero his subordinates were aiming at.

No doubt he noticed him approaching.

He was wearing goggles along with his Speed Skaters. Their eyes met, the hero looking down unto the villain.

[Yo, we just stole a huge amount of cash from the bank… Would you be so kind to move out of our way?].Neito displayed a sense of calmness and a sense humor as he talked to the hero.

The hero now replied to him. [The people of this city have their dreams and freedom. I won’t allow you to trample over it. If you won’t cooperate with me, I’ll have to take you in myself]. It was a clear and strong voice. A voice of a man full of confidence and the justice he represented.

His eye protector was fitted for Motor-Cross bikers and Extreme-sports players. It had a bright blue color. Beneath his helmet was his blonde hair. He had a muscular body and on his feet were Mechanical Roller Shoes.

Everybody in America knew this hero.

The fastest known man named Sonic Youth stood before him.

[Hmph, then I’ll be defeating you then “Sonic Youth”!]

The wind was strong. Neito’s suit and tie fluttered over the wind.

He took his tie off and folded him into his pocket as he stared down at Sonic Youth.

[… Transform]

His body transformed in an instant. A black substance enveloped his whole body.

Neito sprang forth from his spot and charged at Sonic Youth. At the same time, under Niina’s command, Crimson members started shooting at Sonic Youth.

[Here I come!!!]

But,

[!? What!?]

He felt a strong gust of wind and he disappeared. Sonic Youth vanished from the world.

That’s not possible. He was there a second ago…

A second later, Neito felt a blow hit his shoulder.

[Catch me if you can]

A roller blade was struck on his shoulder. He didn’t see it coming. A moment ago, he was on top the trailer truck and now, it looked like he teleported above his shoulder.

[Impossible!]

He was fast. Faster than expected. Neito felt the cold steel on his shoulder. In a panic, he tried to hit him with his claws but to no avail.

Sonic Youth kicked off from Neito’s shoulder and rushed towards Niina.

[Wha–!? Why you…!]

[Sonic Youth!!]

[This is bad! This is really bad!]

His subordinated were panicking. I can’t blame them

[Calm down! Everybody, shift to the right and start surrounding him!]

Niina gave a precise order. Now they surrounded Sonic Youth with him in the center of the circle. There was a chance of friendly fire occurring if they shot now, but it didn’t matter to Sonic Youth.

[It’s futile…!]

Using his speed, Sonic Youth could have easily dodged every bullet shot at him.

[Bullets are ineffective against me.]

His Roller blades revved up. For him it was but an easy task to dodge bullets.

[Put down your weapons or you’ll taste the coldness of the Hudson River.]

[… d.a.m.n…]

His subordinates were just staring Sonic Youth down. The next moment, things took for the worst turn.

[Wha-! W-Where is he shooting from!?]

One after the other, his subordinates got taken down. They were getting sniped. It was the other A-cla.s.s hero, Slipknot’s fault.

It was easy for Neito who had transformed to locate him using the muzzle flash.

[You b.a.s.t.a.r.d… Since when have you been there!?]

Looking up, Slipknot was on top of the Washington Bridge with his tight black suit sniping them.

[Hm? I was here since Sonic-kun coolly appeared. Is there a problem?]

Neito wanted to yell at him for making fun of the situation. As they were talking, Slipknot pulled out multiple grenade like objects from his bag.

[This is Slipknot’s special throw– here!]

There was quite a distance between him and the convoy, but he made an accurate throw that landed the grenades near the vehicles. The vehicles exploded and some of his subordinates and vehicles got thrown over into the Hudson River.

[Yes! Strike-Out!!]

The dark hero made the situation even worse. He took out their mobility in one go. Many of his subordinates were injured, and some were thrown off into the river.

[… Bring it on… I’ll kill you first then.]

Neito spread his wings and made a flight towards the top of the bridge, rapidly approaching Slipknot.

He was a few meters before hitting Slipknot when he raised his claws. No doubt his subordinates thought he was going to hit him but,

[I won’t let you do that!]

This voice… How did he get here? Weren’t you down below a few moments ago?

Sonic Youth suddenly appeared by his right side.

Sonic Youth’s blue knuckle guard suddenly appeared and hit him head on. Multiplied by the kinetic energy gained from his speed, Neito got blown away.

Sonic Youth appeared meters in the air and attacked Neito. It was as if he teleported to him.

Neito rapidly shot through the bridge. A loud shockwave followed him as he hit the concrete.

Neito ran out of air as he hit the ground.

[…Gahaa-!!]

[Fuu- That was really scary. It’s a G.o.dsend that you’re here Sonic. Thanks Buddy! Uwa, bad people are really scary! He tried to kill me you know? That would be really bad if it happened hahaha]

[Don’t let your guard down Slipknot. And stop attacking senselessly. They may be villains by they are ent.i.tled to the same rights as people of this country. They have the right to be equally judged under a court of jurisdiction… wait, maybe that man may cooperate now.]

Sonic Youth surfed the guardrail of the bridge and came after Neito.

Neito sustained internal damage from the blow. He couldn’t stand and needed time to recover. He took this moment to a.n.a.lyze their situation.

The situation is at a critical moment. No doubt that’s what his subordinates thought. There are two heroes that n.o.body could lay their hands upon, and the regarded evil modified genius is at this state.

A trailer truck blocks the front, while the burning vehicles are blocking out our escape from behind. We can’t expect any help from Crimson at this stage. The only one that stood a chance against them was him. The others may think that the reason they surrounded them was to trap them, but He knew otherwise.

It was something he planned all along. There was no way Crimson would bring out their full power into a plan so screwed up. If they manage to win, then it would be regarded as a miracle. “The probability of winning is so slim… So let us do it”. That was the plan.

But they lost. It was all over.

No doubt that’s what they were thinking.

[Are you okay senpai?]

Niina came and helped him up. As he was being pulled up, he answered back

[Yeah, no problem here.]

It was all according to plan. He surveyed the area around him.

The bridge was already engulfed in flame and smoke. It was a h.e.l.lish scene. The sun was already setting. No doubt the situation was going to get worse. A helicopter was already circling above them. No doubt it was the ma.s.s media. Both ends of the bridge were already blocked by the Guardians as well as the ma.s.s media. The reason why the other Guardians didn’t interfere with them was because they feared Crimson, as well as they put their faith into the two heroes sent to stop them.

Manhattan, no, the whole United States must be watching us now. Everybody wants to see the super heroes beat the evil doers. From end to end, every television channel must be focused on us now.

Everything was done to create this situation. The bank robbery as well as the flashy car chase was all for this. The helicopter flew above them and circled in.

How about it? It is as Niina said… It’s like we’re shooting a movie in the Washington Bridge.

“Crimson lost. The top bra.s.s disappeared, and among the remaining members, they tried to do a desperate move only to be stopped by the Rock’s Organization.”

No doubt that’s what the media is going to write against us.

The heroes were standing up top on the bridge, staring down at the villains. That scene caught on the camera must look cool to the viewers.

That’s why everything is good.

This is the best setting I could get. This is the best time to unveil the [Evil] I’ve been plotting. This was way ahead of schedule but I’m almost done with the preparations. I just have to hang on for a little bit more.

[Niina, proceed as planned. Escape alongside everybody that’s left. I doubt you’ll die if you jump into the river.]

If they manage to get away from the bridge no doubt Crimson people would pick them up and give them medical attention since they’re most likely to be disguised as medics.

[U-Understood… will you be okay by yourself Senpai?]

[Yeah. I’ll be okay on my own. From this point on, it’s better if I’m alone.]

[If… you want me to hold civilians as hostages like last time, I doubt I will succeed this time…]

Niina is smart. Although that option is not totally out of the box, the possibility of success was just slim.

Unlike before, all the attention was drawn unto them. The Guardians were there and easily a.s.sured the civilians. And unlike before, there was nothing that could threaten Slipknot now.

And if they manage to succeed, it was a matter of them dealing with the one holding the civilian hostage.

No, it can’t end that simply. It can end with them just admitting defeat.

[No, I’ll attain everything in this fight. Defeating both heroes and taking over Crimson too.]

And being labeled as the ultimate villain. In return, I have to sacrifice something of equal value.

No doubt I could see that bright face again…

But even that…

[Hurry up and go, Niina.]

I’m moving forward. In order to change the world. To change the scene I saw on [The right side] of my apartment.

I’ll go as low as I can, to no man has ever been.

Even though there are few people that wished for this change, I don’t care. It’s because I choose to change the world that I’m doing this.

Neito grit his teeth and stood up.

[… Understood… Then senpai… if you don’t die, I’ll treat you to a drink for once…!]

Niina then jumped over the bridge with his remaining subordinates, after dressing themselves as medics. Small water transports were already prepared beforehand so they should have no trouble getting away.

[Manaka-san… your last words… perhaps you wanted to something like this]

Neito used his shaking knee to get up while mumbling to himself.

[“Show me the real meaning of the word [Evil]” huh? I’ll find out myself soon.]

Neito looked up to the two heroes.

[What will you do? If you’re going to surrender, then I’ll take you in myself and guarantee your safety. Any more fighting is futile.]

Sonic Youth’s words were hard and true. It felt like he was making a sincere offer. If it was the Neito ten years ago, he would’ve asked for a signature, but now it was different.

Neito stared at the figure of justice standing before him.

[Surrender? Don’t kid yourself. I’m going to erase both of you from the face of the earth. Aah, unlike before, I’ll erase you before I surrender. You better be prepared.]

Well, that was a long vacation. I got lazy and didn’t translate for 3 months.

I guess that’s the power of procrastination.

“If we can’t see air, do fish see water?”
