While Dane was getting acquainted with his saviors a helicopter was flying in the sky the moon being the only illumination as it moved in the night sky.
On the helicopter a group of 15 sat of which 12 were geared in heavy-looking combat armor that concealed their faces and had a large white Rook chess piece printed largely on the chest.
Weapons clutched in hand the armored group sat quietly doing their best to ignore the other 3 passengers who seemed much more kicked back as they chatted quitely.
"So what's the mission?"
Speaking softly a girl who looked no older than 18 spoke her question directed to the older woman sitting across from her.
"The usual some idiot mass-produced sins now we have to go kill them"
Saying this the woman turned to face the younger girl her long hair a stark black with a bright silver streak running through it, gentle grey eyes matching the streak that tan through her hair as she then turned to look at the other member of their team a boy of similar age to the girl.
"Cricket any warnings from your friend we should know?"
The boy named Cricket had short-cut black hair, his build was thin and he was pretty short looking for his age as he stood at an alright 5'6, the main thing of note being the thick black blindfold that covered his eyes.
"It refuses to tell me anything, it seems...scared"
The boy's confusion shone through as he spoke surprising the woman who although didn't know everything about the boy's ability as a [Whisper], but the little she did know was that their 'friends' would never refuse to speak but would instead lie.
"Shit, what are the chances Cain would approve our request for backup?"
As if feeling a bit worried over their current mission the gloomy girl's question was directed to the older woman who shook her head.
"Flat chance Milly, they're still dealing with the 'Angel' problem, it's so bad that any Cat 3 or above are too occupied with that and any Cat 2 exorcist is too busy picking up the slack"
Sighing audiblely the women didn't say anything else as they sat in silence the helicopter finally coming within sight of the island.
"Just keep making attempts cricket, Milly you're in charge of managing the soldiers, I will take point"
Nodding their heads the group rode in silence as they came upon the island.
.....
*Back with Dane*
"What do you mean you need my help?"
Hearing my question love sighed as she turned around lifting her hair to reveal a weird device that looked like a silver cross dug into the flesh of her neck.
"Bombs"
Turning back around love gave further explanation.
"The only way to disable this is in madam z's office and as you can guess there are at least a few of them mass-produced sins standing in the way.
Hearing Love's explanation I wanted to immediately say no as the thought of facing another one of the SINs did not sit well with me.
"Sorry I can-"
"The main entrance is destroyed"
Atom's interruption caused me to pause as I turned from love to stare at him the confusion in my eyes prompting the tall man to speak further.
"It's a pile of rumble courtesy of madam z who already escaped"
"FUCK!"
Cursing loudly I felt deep anger running through my tired body as my hope for escape was dashed, holding my face I just let out a deep sigh.
"Is there another way to escape you guys seem realtively calm"
Looking up at the group I noted how okay they seemed with this development something I couldn't help but question.
"Yeah there is, but you need to help us get rid of these bombs first and then we can escape together"
The deal was fair my assistance for there info on a new escape path.
"Deal, but I nearly died facing one of those things how am I going to defeat possibly more of them"
My question was met by boisterous laughter from Atom and Love with vic covering his mouth as if he wanted to laugh to.
"He ahahaah really ahaha thinks were going to let him fight ahahaa alone"
My confusion was evident as I stared at the group atom letting out choked gasped as he finally calmed down enough to explain.
"Do you really think we are normal?"
Saying this Atom lifted his arm
The tattoos on which began to glow as in and around them the skin began to calcify eventually covering his entire arm in a thin layer of bone.
*BOOM*
Slamming his now calcified arm into a wall, which crumbled like a can under foot.
"Let us reintroduce ourselves"
Pulling his arm from the wall atom spoke as with a shake of his hand the bone like material covering his arm fell away revealing his regular tattooed arm below.
"Atom the Calcfied, enforcer of Carcass"
Staring off at the massive hole left in the wall I felt this world would be more troublesome than I thought.
