The sound of the crash was nulled by a mini explosion that ensured the death of a lone Civil Defense officer. There were more outsiders than just Vincent Sparks, it seemed. A girl and a boy, one with an intricate and unique looking weapon and one with nothing but his fists. "Yuck. I didn't know actual filth could be applied on human beings until now..." A girl sheathed their Signature Weapon they call Boa. It has 9 segmented blades, with each segment connected by a stretchable thread. The boy next to the girl wasn't much of a talker and simply put his hands in his pockets, searching for the most wanted: Vincent Sparks. A lot of people were out to get him, it seemed. This girl and boy, are part of White Eye. After getting notice of Vincent's threat made against White Eye, the girl, whose name was Megami Duvet and the boy, Evto Mugen, were sent out to capture him. "The councilmember gave me a mouthful as well..." Megami continued on. - Before the mission, one of the White Eye councilmembers had personally called Megami Duvet in to complete a task of her own. "All the way to Eukaron... that filth of a planet, to get him?" "We've set Haruto Stradale and Ken Magami to Eukaron in order to bait Vincent Sparks out. We know that you are more than capable to take him out. So, secretly follow them, but don't make yourself noticeable." Megami crossed her arms. "They are wise men. They can handle their own, take him out on their own. Do you just not trust simple Revengers on tasks anymore? I don't see my relevance to the task, I have other matters to attend to." "We want to ensure that Vincent Sparks is utterly defeated, destroyed, no chances of victory for him." The councilmember stood up, getting closer to Megami. She was a head taller than him. The councilmember was in his mid-fifties, a man with dark hair and beard. "Simple Revengers won't do the job. Get that through your head. Take Ghost Assassin with you, it’s time he’s put on a mission as well." - Evto said nothing. He was just another person who followed orders. Vincent Sparks is powerful, but is he powerful enough against two White Eye of fundamental power? Megami looked up at the stars. The city of innovation seemed far, far away. She sighed. Evto did as well, but for different reasons. They were on top of a rocky formation that towered over a large canyon. In the middle was a small bridge that was used by locals for a short cut, however it has long been abandoned. Vincent was just on the other side, but the canyon was so vehemently long that it would take roughly 30 minutes to get across the other side, give or take. It's just another field day for Soul-Wielders like them though. However, a canyon this huge should be dangerous enough to not be taken lightly. Who knows what kind of monsters roam around down there... Needless to say, Megami didn't care about 'maiming' or 'exterminating' this bozo called Vincent Sparks. The lingering threat of Dark Intrinium looming over her was a thought more important to her noggin than some lowlife who thinks he's hot shit. What's going to happen to White Eye when Dark Intrinium gets a hold of them, just like they got ahold of Ambrecia? They have destroyed countless government bodies, rebel factions for 30 years, what the hell is going to stop them? White Eye surely can't, when the Nextellar Star Clan has them by the throat. Going to war with another body that's supported by Dark Intrinium is just going to lead to the downfall of White Eye, and she's right to be worried about it. "..." Megami squatted, resting her hands on her chin. She looked down, realizing just how unnecessary the mission is. One deranged individual is not going to be the death of White Eye. "..." Not one deranged individual. "..." Not one deranged squad. But a deranged government. "Megami." She was taken out of her trance. Megami looked at Evto, who had just called her out of her deep thoughts. "We have to get going. The King of Destruction isn't going to sit there and wait
