Extraction Point

"You can end the blindness now, Lukas," said Edgar, "I've already hit something.

Lukas?"

Edgar couldn't hear anything, and he was being blinded by Lukas' bright light.

"Lukas?" asked Edgar.

Soon, his vision returned to him, seeing that he had punched the ground, a crater surrounding his fist. In less than a second, he was hit by a strong attack, causing his body to surge with pain as he was dragged through the ground. Edgar blasted the ground with his air, propelling himself to quickly stand upright, noticing that Lukas was on the ground, knocked out. However, silence ensued, and he couldn't hear anything. His eyes began to shift around, looking for Yato.

A bright light, blinded once again.

Without any warning, he felt pain again as he was knocked to a pole, which broke as the shelf dropped onto Edgar. As Edgar looked up, he knew that he had already lost, with Yato staring him down with a smug look. Behind him was Mikael, who urged Edgar not to continue further, being held hostage with a butterfly knife, Myuto standing right behind him.

"A blind and deaf combo," smiled Yato, "Pretty good plan, Muto."

Myuto shook his fist in anger.

"How did you get Lukas' Pure Sun ability..?" mumbled Edgar in surprise, "You blinded me!"

"I didn't even need to take it," responded Yato, walking away towards Mikael, "I just amplified the voltage of my electricity. Back then I wasn't aiming to shoot you out of the sky, but to increase the voltage of my finger to blind you."

"It was good plan, I admit," chuckled Mikael lightly, "You two clearly show your worth."

"Now cough up a name," signed Myuto, "We didn't want to resort to force, but these domain particles could lead to the takedown of the Deep Web."

Mikael sighed, trying to shake his head, "Very well. I may have to use opportunity to explain myself. Her name is Rachael Kratek. She is Class S, 5th ranked. I do not know much more than that."

"Are you lying?" asked Yato, charging up electricity in his hand to intimidate him.

"I am man of my word," responded Mikael with a blunt face, "I must ask that you two stop this Deep Web business, whether to stop pursuing it, or to end in totally. Things may end badly if you do not complete it fully."

"I'm the strongest here. I doubt I'll have any troubles with ending some unnecessary faction. Back in the Extermination Point, the Deep Web hunters weren't even match for a Class C and a Class D."

"That was old times," warned Mikael, "This is new revolution we are talking about. I urge you not to underestimate them."

Yato glared at the man with disapproval, thinking that he was underestimating his power, "What's the last business places that haven't been robbed?"

"The last few should be Keiber Registry, factory near Fortuna street, and Barlow Baza, fast food place near Tankton Food Court."

"Barlow Baza?" signed Myuto in confusion, "Isn't that a smoothie shop?"

"Barlow Baza is small shop but holds domain particles because of safe keeping," explained Mikael, "It should be last place for Deep Web to check if they hold that information."

"Great," said Yato, signalling Myuto to let Mikael go, "Thank you for your cooperation."

"You two... please..." begged Mikael, for once not thinking about his ego, "End this new revolution. For the better of Spainland."

Yato and Myuto looked back at the trashed marketplace, seeing Edgar trying to wake Lukas up. They then walked away in silence.

"For the better of Spainland," chuckled Yato in disbelief, "I have no obligation to protect this city. That guy's clearly wanting us to save this thing so he can return back to a wealthier business to fuel his ego."

Myuto looked at Yato, who seemed to hold himself in high regard.

He didn't choose to speak on the matter.

"You guys couldn't have done a more civil negotiation?" asked Zora with a dead look in his eyes.

Myuto pointed to Yato with his head hung down to the ground.

"It was his fault for not complying," responded Yato, his head staring at the ceiling in boredom.

"Well.. at least you two have gotten the mission completed, I'll give you both that," Zora continued, not wanting to get on Yato's bad side, "Mikael wasn't bluffing when he said that the factory Keiber Registry that some domain particles. Through Christina's investigations, we were able to single out that location. However, we didn't receive any information about Barlow Baza receiving any domain particles, so we'd like to commend you guys for that.

There shouldn't be any other missions left, and so far we've just been monitoring these two locations in the attempt of any actual theft. In the event that the theft does happen however, we'll be sending you guys in. Me included so I can actually monitor you guys this time. Alright?"

Myuto and Yato both nodded in agreement.

"Great," smiled Zora, relieved of their compliance, "Take some time off and we'll call you if you once the ambush happens."
