《The Noble Curse of Ookami [Previously Titled: CLOSER]》Burning Spirit

"What the hell is that?!" Kazuki panicked when he saw the tower appear from the ground. It emits strange sounds at low frequency, a buzz that disturbed our ears. The glowing part of the tower seems to strengthen the possessed around the area.

More panic occurred when the aura around the purified people suddenly began to fade. Ishigaki quickly re-purify them with all his might. Meanwhile the Jaegers drew out our swords once again.

We heard growls coming from around the tower and even outside of sector 24 coverage. "That's bad news," said Kotetsu, he squinted his eyes to see further into the city. We could hear rumbling from the distance, and there they were.

Large in numbers and variation, normal, zombies, and even hunters began tumbling toward us. The buzz became louder and louder. It seems like the possessed were attracted to the tower and its buzzing sound.

The new hoard of the possessed reached our spot, every warrior on the sector dealt with them fiercely. There were a lot of hunters in our area, Kazuki, Kotetsu and I were dealing with them as fast as we could. While Ishigaki keeps the purified people safe with his aura. He looked worried.

As more zombie blood splattered around the area, we grew more tired than before. That cellular tower must be destroyed first. But sadly, no one in my team had the ability to do that. I could sense the intense energy Ishigaki emitted from his attempt to protect the purified people, but he kept on trying.

One of the hunters was the previous one, the one which had been slashed by Kotetsu. His face was gushing blood, he didn't even hold it when reappearing. Foul smells began to spread as the zombies began to deteriorate, and it distracted us.

The hunters were unpredictable, they were moving too quickly for our eyes to track. But somehow, we managed to dodge their attacks mostly safely. After a difficult struggle to track the hunters, we finally managed to slash one of them and make her unconscious. That's right, one of the hunters was female.

The initial hunter suddenly disappeared again, while dodging other hunters' attacks, I tried to predict the movement of the first hunter. But then I failed. That hunter broke our defense line, and managed to approach Ishigaki.

"Shit shit shit shit!!" I turned around, abandoned Kazuki and Kotetsu and ran to Ishigaki. "Ishigaki!! Behind you!!" I yelled as loud as I could, as the hunter drew out his dagger once again. Ishigaki turned his head around and gasped. He then prepared his aura to defend himself.

The hunter jumped towards him, I followed him and launched myself to stop that monstrosity.

*STAB*

The crazed face suddenly appeared in front of my face instead of Ishigaki. The hunter smiled while he kept digging his dagger to my stomach... my vision began to blur. I felt like I would faint at that moment, but I tried to stay awake.

A strange sight happened, the hunter... shed a tear.

Kotetsu and Kazuki didn't realize I was stabbed, and were too busy tracking down hunters that began to leave the area with small wounds. He then turned to Ishigaki, and did the unthinkable. He snatched him, and took him away quickly.

Not long after that, Kazuki noticed, and came to me. I pointed into the direction of the hunter. Kauzki quickly followed the trail of the hunter without hesitation, while Kotetsu came to check on me first.

I assured him that I would be okay, and he quickly followed Kazuki. I pulled the dagger with my own hands, and tossed it onto the ground. I tried to wrap my wounds with a roll of bandage that we must bring individually, as I laid down on my back, and applied pressure to the wound, I looked at the clear blue sky above, only distracted by drifting smoke.

I remembered something. A glance of the past, suddenly I felt lonely... I remember something, no, someone. But I have to continue my mission, I have to take Ishigaki back.

So I stood up, with the sun's heat on my head, once again I held on to my sword's handle, and rushed forward.
