"C call for the guards!"

"Just run!"

2 of the people decided to run, while the other half proceeded to go back inside the rubble which they emerged from.

"..." Riley turned to face the two that ran away, before proceeding to plunge several spikes that emerged from the ground through their feet.

"!!!"

The two screamed right at the same time; if it weren't for their voices being vastly different from each other, then it would have probably sounded like only one of them screamed in pain. For Darkday, however, the timber and the tone of their screams were obvious.

"..." Darkday then slowly started walking towards the two; who, despite the pain of having their legs punctured, still crawled away as soon as they heard Darkday's steps growing closer.

"S stay away!"

"No," Darkday answered without any delay as he faced the one that pleaded for his life; his eyebrows were upturned; his eyes, completely moist and not even trying to stop the tears that were starting to fall from them.

Darkday then turned his attention to the other man, who despite obviously being in pain, just stared at him. And so, with a nod, the man suddenly folded in half not even uttering another scream as his life was instantly extinguished.

"How does it feel?" Darkday then said as he stepped on the remaining man's foot whether or not he was luckier than his companion, was yet to be determined.

"P please, don't. I have a family!"

"What a coincidence," Darkday's shoulders slightly trembled as he chuckled, "So do I."

"W"

The man's pockets began to move before he could say anything else; and without even any warning, his wallet burst forth from his pants.

"Is this them?" Darkday then quickly removed a photo from the wallet and showed it to the man.

"Y yes," the man quickly nodded, "My my daughter just entered high school, she"

"And you live quite near," Darkday removed the man's driver's license.

"Y yes. I only accepted this job because of the location," the man gritted his teeth, "P please, I don't even know what they're keeping in there! I I'm just a doorman!"

"..." Darkday, however, did not respond as he just stared at the man's driver's license.

"..."

"..."

And seeing as how even after a few seconds, Darkday still did not move; the man used this chance to crawl away; his breaths, almost drowning everything else, even the pain he was feeling as the splinters of the stones pierced in his leg scraped his flesh away.

No matter what happens, he needed to get back to his fami

And before the man could finish his thoughts, a small thud whispered in front of him.

"...Huh?" The man then immediately stopped crawling as he looked at the object that suddenly blocked his path.

"W what?" And no matter how many times the man blinked his eyes, the object blocking his path did not disappear.

"W what? C Crystal!?"

"Oh, good."

And while the man wailed another Darkday emerged from the sky.

This Darkday then let out a small but very short sigh of relief as he landed near the other Darkday, "It would have been awkward if I got the different person."

"Good work, you may go now."

"Thank you, boss."

And as soon as the other Darkday appeared, he flew away as fast.

"N no, this this isn't happening!" The man continued to scream as he rushed towards the body that was suddenly sprawled in front of him. And even though it was completely mangled; with the bones protruding from her flesh, he still embraced the body,

"No not not my baby, no. No!"

"..." Darkday then stared at the scene for a few seconds; seemingly relishing on the man's screams as he stretched his arms to the side. But after a few more seconds, he dropped his hand.

"Another one, then," he then said as he flicked his finger and as soon as he did so, the man's head suddenly went straight through one of the sharp bones protruding from his daughter's body killing him instantly.

Darkday then turned around, but before he could even take a single step towards the entrance of the rubble that the two other people escaped to, Empress suddenly rushed towards him.

"Darkday!" Empress roared as her fists immediately went for Darkday's helmet; and this time, it connected as Darkday rolled several meters causing the ground to split open.

"Why why did you drag an innocent child!?"

Empress, however, instead of rushing through the rubble as planned, continued to rush towards Darkday.

"...I did say people are going to die tonight, Empress," Darkday casually said as he took another Empress's punch head-on but instead of being pushed away, he flew towards the rubble straight through the entrance of the hidden facility,

"You're the one who gave permission."

"Only the people at the facility!"

"Be careful, Empress. They might hear we're together."

"You"

And before Empress could finish her words, she felt herself being dragged to the ground No, it was more than that; her entire body burrowed through the ground until finally, she dropped to some sort of hallway.

"This"

"E Empress!?"

"Have you come here to save us!?"

"..." Empress looked at the people No, at the doctors that were in the hallway for a few seconds, before her eyes landed on their gloves that were filled with blood. Another one seemed to be holding a case holding some sort of organ inside.

And it took just a second just a second for Empress's fist to punch a hole through one of the doctors.

"Oh my, what are you doing, Empress?"

"D Darkday!?"

One of the doctors immediately ran away the image of Empress punching a hole through her colleague not even registering in her mind as she did so. But alas, before she could even go far, she felt her nose being mushed as an invisible wall seemingly blocked her path.

"There's been a change of plans, Darkday," Empress then said as she pulled her arm from the doctor's chest, "We

are going to kill everyone in this facility."
