Odyssey - How To Tame A Demon

Chapter 8. Repercussions

"Hey Dino, I know how much Grace means to you and we are willing to help you find her, hey were friends here, If only you told us about it then things might be different. Touman he - "

Chuuya grabs Arly in his shoulder, telling him to stop. It doesn't matter anymore. What they can do as of now is to face the consequences of their actions and decisions. And, find the real culprit behind the scene. Arly looks at his friends dejected, then he receives a message.

"They found that humanoid machine earlier, it was seen arriving at one of the shipping ports in the south" Arly stated. "They have the files they need already, they must be stopped at all cost" Chuuya ordered.

Suddenly they heard a cry from Dino. "No, no no no no" Dino repeatedly chanted miserably. Then he ran off to where there was a pile of trash. Only then did Chuuya and Arly see a hand sticking out from the mountains of trash.

Dino hurriedly digs on the trash while Chuuya and Arly could only watch, feeling the impending doom that is coming. Now fully crying Dino dropped on his knees looking down on a lifeless body on the ground of a young woman. The color of dark bruises and blood contrast the beautiful and smooth skin of the lady. Cuts covers her body and clothes all torn out, indication the unimaginable things done to her and the torture she suffered. Dino cried out in the dark night embracing her body. Even after betraying his friends, resulting in accidentally killing one, this is what happens.

In spite of Dino being their friend, he is still a traitor to the port mafia, therefore, they have to leave him be. They have other priorities and that is to get what's taken to them and avenge him. Chuuya is now seething with anger. Who dared to attack the port mafia under his nose and those who hurt his subordinates and friends will pay dearly.

"Watch him" Chuuya ordered the port mafia members who followed them.

"Now, where are they?" he asked Arly with a dangerously calm voice.

...

In a port, a cargo ship is loading up supplies, inside are a group of Tagesa Organization members. "Hey, are you sure about this? We're pretty much open to our enemies, especially the Port Mafia". One of the members asked their ringleader. "They won't be able to touch us, or else they will just be hurting themselves." The ringleader said confidently. Their ringleader confidence came from his own ability. The ability to protect himself or any object he chooses by transmitting any physical attack back to the attacker, called The Mirror. Now he situated himself, the other members and the files they got from the Port Mafia inside an orb-like space, so that any attack would be deflected. Now all they have to do is hack on the Port Mafia data bank and all their information will be at their disposal.

Chuuya and his company are now looking over the ship that is now almost finished loading. Port mafia vehicles and choppers now appear and surround the ship, and without any signals countless bullets and amos were fired. However, not a minute those fire powers were launched, the Port Mafia received a similar attack from the ship. Due to the amount of fire power launched at the same time, it was unclear how the enemy attacked without any obvious preparation. But there's only one answer they have on their mind ... ability user, a gifted. After receiving the attack the port mafia anticipated another one coming but there's none. The ship is now moving and starting to leave. It was now Chuuya's turn to attack, taking a large boulder on the ground and lifting it in the air and throwing it on the ship. Everyone was expecting it to crush the ship but it stopped while touching its top and then suddenly bounced back in Chuuya's direction. Chuuya used his hand to stop the boulder mid air. This got Chuuya frustrated, throwing the boulder again and all debris his ability can use to the ship but the same result happened. Most of the Port Mafia had withdrawn due to the attacks returning to them and Chuuya, now enraged, kept on attacking when suddenly ...

"It wont work Chuuya, no matter how strong physical attack you throw at it, it will only deflect back to you." Dino stated, floating in the air, using a jet like that appeared to his legs with the use of his own ability. "That one is shrouded with an ability called mirror." Dino added. Due to his past coordination with them Dino somehow learned some information about them including ability users. "However, there is one weakness this mirror has," Dino said. "And what was that?" asked Chuuya. "If the attack is made from non organic materials like fire power, amos and any material, it will deflect the attack. However, if it's a manual force from any person, it can be broken". Dino again explained.

"I will create an opening for you, use that with a concentrated attract to shoot them" Dino stated, while drawing near to the ship.

"Got it" Chuuya replied.

Dino manages to get near the ship. With a solemn face, he touched the barrier of the ship, and smiled miserly. He looked back at where Chuuya is, who has a focused face. Then, using his ability, he started to build an energy on his fist, then with all his energy, he launched a punch to the barrier creating a series of cracks, however at the same time some force was deflected right back to Dino's body, hitting him. Upon seeing this Chuuya rushed to his friend however before he was able to get close Dino launched another punch creating a hole, however he received a greater damage. Chuuya saw his friend slowly descend to the water but saw Dino mouthing something... "Im sorry" is what he read. Then Dino fell on the water.

Angered, Chuuya attacked the ship with all the debris destroying the barrier. Then lifting up the ship in the air, and then crushing it with the force of gravity into pieces. In just a day, Chuuya lost two of his close friends in the Port Mafia. And being a member of the mafia means being surrounded with guns and violence, having attachment to the outside world like families and love, is a great weakness, just like what happened to his friend.
