Zora's body was untouched. In fact, it was spotless from any injury. He was only unconscious. Yato and Benkei looked at the body, stunned by what had just happened. Well... nothing happened! It's like the staples were reverted.
"What was that...?" asked Benkei in surprise.
"I... don't know..." mumbled Yato, in just the same amount of shock.
It was then that Yato's spine began to feel tingly, as if he was being electrocuted slightly. Soon, he could hear his own voice, as if he was speaking to himself. There was someone on the other side using this voice... a very familiar man in what looked like mercenary clothing.
"Who are you?" thought Yato in his head.
"Your original self," smiled the man, "You can call me Kill Shot. I'm the person that was cloned to create you."
"Why... am I just seeing you now?"
"Your power has been surpassed... awakened ever since your battle with Seraph. The only reason you couldn't activate it was because of your injury caused by Seraph's bullet."
"You mean... white lightning isn't my prime power?"
"It's not, Yato. Your Rad-A is known as Trigger."
"Trigger?"
"You control the cause and the effect of a situation: the trigger. Just now, your sight of Zora's death triggered an effect that made it so that he had come unharmed. Your new ability can be...."
As Kill Shot explained, his voice grew faded and hard to understand.
"Hey.. speak up!" thought Yato, "Old man!"
But the apparition had disappeared. Maybe... it wasn't time for Yato to fully utilize Trigger. However, this was definitely the start. Yato noticed Benkei's twitching hands, who had soon come out of his surprise.
Yato simply snapped his fingers, pointing at Benkei.
"If you don't have any further information... then perish," he glared.
Snap! ZZZZZZRTTTTTTT!
Benkei was electrified by the white lightning that came from Yato's finger, his nervous system and pain receptors frying to give Benkei complete pain before his death. With the fall of Benkei, and Rachael's finishing up with the rest of the members of the Deep Web, they had put up an example that this organization was over. From now on, the Deep Web could no longer support Moth Man. This was crucial to the start of another era.

"C'mon man I just died..." mumbled Zora, scratching his back.
"Sorry..." replied Michael, clasping his hands together praying, "I just have a date today! Really need it!"
"What's going on?" asked Mara, strolling by the hallways.
"Orders from Officer Arnold," explained Michael, "I have to patrol the garage for TOR headquarters. The one where Rose and Yato usually live in."
"Why?"
"He said that there's going to likely be an attack on the building after our assault on the Deep Web. He's been planning for people to protect someone in groups of pairs. I was assigned to Rose and Yato's group... but I can't protect for tonight. Got a date."
"So that means I'm the one protecting the two," groaned Zora, "Fine... I might as well since Yato saved me."
"Thank you so much, Zora!"
There was going to be soldiers posted throughout the rooms. TOR's army was huge to the point that no one, not even Moth Man and Myuto could infiltrate. There shouldn't be a problem. There couldn't be a problem. Yet... everyone seemed to be on edge of the situation. It was still reasonable, with Moth Man being the second ranked, even having defeated Yato.
"Everyone seems to be so frightened," said Rose, staring at the screen watching television.
"It's been a long chain of events that have lead to this point," explained Yato, "If that guy ever comes back, we'll be here to stop him. Anyways, quit talking."
"You're always so mean!" huffed Rose, "Even now after all we've been through, you keep telling me to stop talking!"
"That's not the point, Sarah. Moth Man's Rad-A relies on sound. That's why everyone has been quiet tonight on this lockdown. Zora should be upstairs on the balcony as well, watching over anyone who could be entering."
"Got it... I'll try to keep quiet," replied Rose, turning down the television's volume and turning on subtitles.
Everyone in the building were wearing soundproof equipment, armor, and weapons. There was no room for mistake. This would make them vulnerable to attacks by Myuto however, but this was the only way for them to stop the attacks from Moth Man.
And if Myuto made a noise himself? Concealing it with his Rad-A? It contradicted. If Myuto silenced any attempt at sound, it wouldn't reach Moth-Man to activate at all.
CRACK!
Yato's eyes shifted to the right, pointing to the hallway. It's begun. Moth-Man was in the building. Yet, it was like time was skipped. There was evidence of struggle everywhere, including a huge explosion, and even Rose was gone! The strange thing was... Yato had a paper in his hand, a note with an address written underneath.
"Meet me at this Extraction Point."
