Emma's gaze shifted towards kuru, her eyes no longer reflecting humanity. They were a terrifying shade of crimson, burning like a dormant volcano finally awakening kuru, usually the stoic one, felt a chill run down his spine.
"Kuru, back off", Haiku intervened, placing a heavy hand on kuru's shoulder. "Her mind is elsewhere. She's beyond reason right now".
Emma's voice was a cold, razor -sharp whisper. " Shall we go then?".
Angel nodded slowly. " It's time.
[The Red Mountain]
The moon hung like a bleeding wound in the sky, casting a visceral red glow over the mountain peak. As the rain fell, it felt a thought the earth itself was thirsty for the blood that was about to be spilled. Five matte-black motorcycle stood in a row, untouched for months, coated in a thin layer of graveyard dust.
" Will they even start?"Emma asked, looking at her old motorcycle.
Kuru wiped the seat, a faint, grim smile on his face."l came here every day, Emma l kept then ready for this very night".
The movement Emma ignited har engine, a thunderous roar shattered the silence of the mountain. The vibration was so intense that the windows of the lone house on the Cliff began to rattle. Inside, a girl peered though the glass, har lips trembling in terror.
"They are back..."she whispered to the shadows." The Masked lion have returned Tokyo will bleed tonight.
[Scene shift]
Emma turned to Haiku. "My muffler?"
Haiku handed it over, his expression grave.
"Are you really putting in back on?.
Emma laughed "that's the only way. I'm the 'Masked lion", Emma replied, her voice devoid of emotion
Monster revved his engine, a saditic glint in his eyes "finally! I've missed the taste of blood... I I need to see them!"
"You're a sick, you know that?" Angel snapped, though she was already slipping into her 'dark Angel' persona.
[The slaughter:Devil gang's territory]
Emma's bike tore though the wind, leading a pack. When they arrived at the docks, the devil gang war already crawling everywhere like vermin.
"The devil gang...such pathetic trash," Emma muttered, dismounting har bike with lethal grace.
Master didn't wait for a signal. Hello lunged at the first man, breaking bones with the casualness of the child snapping twing. As he pummeled he is victim, he began to hum a hauntingly distracted tune:
"Twinkle, Twinkle ,Little Star...how I wonder what you are..."
"Shut up with the nursery rhythms and just kill them!" Though her own strikes were just as merciless.
Three men surrounded Emma, thinking they found on easy target, and said you are just a girl. She look that them with utter disdain
"You specimens actually think you can win?"
In a blur of motion, Emma delivered a cruching kick to the first man's ribs,a jagged hook to the second's jaw, and leaped the third, pinning his face to the concrete with her boot. She flashed a smile so unsettling it
Made the surrounding thugs freeze.
"Don't run! It's useless!" a survivor screamed."Thise are the predator Tokyo feared ! The five lions are back!".
Kuru stood at the motorcycle,headphones on, scribbling in a notebook.
"What is he doing?"thugs stammered. Kuru don't look up."Recording the casualties. Emma 's kill count needs to be precise for the archives".
Angel was no longer the pretty girl next door; she was a storm of violence. Beside her, Haiku moved like a ghost, protecting the team's flank. He was the heart of the squad, and he wouldn't tolerate a single insult towards Emma.
"You're demon!" A man shrieked at monster.
Monster laughed, blood splattering his face."That's why they call me monster because I am monster.
"Enough!"emma's voice cut though the choose. "Will you tow quite down?"
The gang leader, jaku -a formers lion himself -was shcking."Musa King never told us the gang would reunite after the disbandment".
Emma approached him, trembling, Jaku stripped off his jacket and Laid it at har feet-the ultimate Sigh of total submission.
"Spore us , Emma!"
Emma pulled a lollipop from her mouth, her lips stained with a mixture of candy and blood." I'll never forget. Did your alive, but in a state you 'll never forget. Did your leader forget to tell you? Emma either erases you from existence or leaves you in a week -long hell of pain".
"Now, let the show begin. Finish them!" She commanded.
[The Ditter Truth]
After the dust settled, Emma stood amidst the carnage."where is kisaki?"demanded.
The thugs groaned in agony. "He's dead... He killed the nine hostages and himself. It's over"
Emma's heart skipped a beat. The nine people who held the secret of her sister's where abouts where gone. The truth was incinerated.
Kuru approached her... The president is here".
Emma glared at him with murderous intent. Kuru pointed at monster"I didn't say it! Monster did!"
Emma went silent, popping her lollipop back in. Lightning flashed, illuminating har blood- streaked face.she took the muffler from Haiku, wrapping it Tightly around her face.
On they way out, a heated argument broke out between Haiku and Emma.
"I am not leading this gang , Emma hissed.
"You have to!" Haiku roared back. kisaki killed those nine people to silence the truth! We have to find out who ardered the hit!".
Emma didn't answer. She accelerated and disappeared into the rain.
