Tiny fish in the ocean

Tiny fish in the ocean

" Joseph what were you doing in that house ? Mako saw you enter it, Mako followed you and Mako saw what you did to the woman and the old man. Mako is confused." Said Mako in quick succession leaving Joseph no room to talk. When she finished, Joseph had that gut feeling that told him that something was very wrong in this situation.

The smile on Mako's face seemed quite empty, as if she was forcing herself to smile. And just that raised several questions. What had she seen exactly ? Did she even know how he did what he did ? What she aware of his powers before ?

" Well I just wanted to see a friend of-"

" Liar." Said Mako, cutting Joseph as he started to sweat. Her smile had now disappeared and she was taking slow steps towards him.

" I saw you when arrived in Japan, I followed you all the time. No matter where you went. And I know you lie. You have powers Brat....Powers a normal human shouldn't even know of." Accused Mako.

Joseph now found himself unable to move. It finally dawned on him, afterall ever since he received this power he thought he was invincible, but she was the living proof of his mistake. He was only a normal fish in the pond.

Other than the feeling of oppression that now threatened to make him pass out and that exuded from the girl, Joseph noticed that she had stopped referring to herself as ' Mako', which only added to his confusion.

' Does she have another personnality ?' Thought Joseph as Mako came face to face with him. Her weird eye had stopped moving and was now glaring at him. Though it quickly widened as it looked behind Joseph.

" What are you doing here you dumb fuck-AARGGGGH!"

It took only a split second. Mako was there, glaring at Joseph and a split second later, she writhing in pain while holding her weird eye, blood pouring from the cracks between her fingers.

Joseph daren't turn around, he only froze and closed his eyes. The feeling had gotten too strong, and it seemed to only grow, until it would reach the point where Joseph would faint from the pressure.

" Don't worry Human, you're safe." Said an unknown as a recomforting hand was placed on Joseph's shoulder. The feeling dissipated and Joseph could finally look behind him. He then saw two rather.....Unique looking men. If the second figure could actually be called a man.

The first one was definitely a man, no ' Behemoth' would be better to describe him. He seemed to be atleast 8ft tall and couldn't weigh less than 120 kg. His whole body was bulging with powerful muscles that were out on the open for all to see since he was nearly naked. The man only wore some sort of black and white loin cloth that started just below his navel and ended just before his knees. He also had golden bandages that covered the lower halves of his arms and a gigantic black leather sheathe on his back, for some reasons it was empty. He had a somewhat basic if not a bit rough looking face, no beard or mustache and a little scar on the left side of his mouth. Other than that the man had a military cut.

The second person's gender was hard to determine that said person had a rather slender body that was entirely covered. But Joseph still decided to consider the person a man since said person didn't have breasts, or maybe it was a woman with little breasts, but it didn't matter. The man wore an outfit that looked like a swat uniform though the whole outfit was white and the helmet didn't show the face of the person. The man only had a pistol strapped to one thigh and a machete strapped to the other, other than that he looked rather harmless. Though Joseph could see tiny spikes on both of the man's gloves, so the man had to be a fighter.

All in all they both looked more threatening than Mako, but given that she was currently screeching on the floor while her body spasmed, Joseph still decided to trust the two.

" Umm, thanks but who are you two ?" Asked Joseph, still quite confused about the whole thing.

" We are that bitch's ennemies. She comes from a clan and we come another clan, both clans hates each other, so we just fight to death once we see people from the other clan. Consider yourself lucky, she would've killed you had we not show up on time. ' Said the behemoth of a man while the other walked towards Mako. Well work wasn't exactly the good word to describe the way he moved, the man seemed to be there and not there at the same time, his body becoming oddly transparent.

The man lifted Mako's head and immediately took a step back as she tried to bite him, or rather completely tear his arm off given how sharp her teeth were. The man or laughed, making Joseph having doubts concerning his gender since the laugh sounded rather feminine, and shook his head.

Stolen novel; please report.

He then lifted his hand in the air and.....A punch, followed closely by another and another and another. The man continued to punch her, the spikes on his gloves piercing the flesh on her face, but Mako resisted and snarled at him, her weird eye continuing to look at random places even though it was quite damaged now.

" Still got some juice huh Shark ? We'll see if you can continue to fight after I'm through with you." Said the behemoth. The second man retreated behind Joseph while the behemoth grabbed Mako and lifted her in the air, while the girl was trying to eat his hand or his arm. The man was smiling and looked ready to snap her neck, but suddenly Mako's weird eye settled on him and his smiled disappeared instantly.

" * Sigh* I'm gonna have to visit the doc again, damn..." Said the behemoth. Joseph was at loss for words and only continued to look as Mako literally tore his entire arm, used it to hit him so hard he was sent flying in a wall, and then appeared directly in front of the second man, her feet only a few inches away from his face. She slammed her feet on the ground in a split second, with the second man's head between her feet and the ground which resulted in Joseph hearing the sound of bones being shattered.

' Forget about being a normal fish in the pond....I'm a damn tiny fish in the ocean.'

[ Host I would recommend fleeing by using the flash steps ability. Those people are leagues ahead of you.]

Joseph had to give it to the system, he made a good point, but he wanted to watch how it would end. Mako had made a surprising comeback, but the behemoth was already back and looked like the loss of one of his arm was only a trivial nuisance. The second man just jumped and kneed Mako in the face before retreating to hide behind the behemoth.

Mako's entire face seemed to spasm has it moved like she was bugging. She seemed truly deranged now that Joseph really took a look at her. Though the behemoth didn't look any better, his body covered in his own blood, smiling like a madman while holding the very arm he had just lost.

Both Mako and the behemoth got into fighthing stances as Joseph wondered if it was really a good idea to stay.

" Agent Shark of the Beast Clan" Suddenly said Mako, which got her a small grunt from the behemoth.

" Agent Yellow from the Colour Clan"

After they had both said that, the second man appeared besides Joseph and put his hand in front of him. Joseph understood that he wanted him to stay away from the two. Though at this moment Joseph couldn't help but think about it was possible that not a single guard had come to check on what was going on.

' Maybe Mako killed them all or the two used some sort of- OH SHIT !' Joseph instincts screamed at him to flee as Mako and Yellow lunged at each other, intertwined their hands and then procceeded to play a game of strengh that Yellow won easily. The sound of flesh being torn violently was heard as both of Mako's hands were torn apart, however the girl merely grinned and headbutted Yellow.

The behemoth took a step back which allowed Mako to get away from and do something that could give nightmares to any normal persons, she ate her own hands !

' Is that girl even human ?!'

Joseph watched in awe and slight horror as she placed her mouth on the bleeding part of her arm and in magically regrew, before she did the same with the other. The behemoth clenched his teeth in annoyance and with one hand seemed to grip the sword that should be in the sheathe on his back, however Joseph couldn't see anything in his hand. Mako on the other end seemed to have seen it, and her jaw dropped.

" You dare to use this on me, Hamagiri ?! " Yelled the enraged woman.

" Girl, you've told this guy your real name and you've now said mine loudly. Do you think I'll get punished for using this on you even after you did this ?" Answered the now named Hamagiri with a smug smirk on his face which only seemed to further enrage Mako.

As she was about to scream something, the second man suddenly appeared between the two and made some weird noises.

' Is that guy mute ?'

Though Joseph didn't understand what the man said, Mako and Hamagiri seeled to get and it was obviously something bad. They both looked at each other and seemed to come to a slient agreement as they both nodded. The second man sighed and appeared in front of Joseph. He bowed to him before disappearing completely. Joseph looked but couldn't see him and found out that Mako had also left, only Hamagiri stayed. The man gripped his lost arm and smirked before turning to Joseph.

" I am curious about you Joseph Crane. Getting the interest of Shark so quickly is quite surprising. I think I'll start watching you, maybe you'll prove to be a good recruit." Said Hamagiri as his body started to disappear in ash.

" What do you mean ?! Who are you guys ?!" Yelled Joseph but Hamagiri only smiled and mouthed something to Joseph before leaving.

Joseph then collapsed on the ground, his eyes slowly closing. He didn't even resist, he only let his tiredness take over him.

********************

( Unknown amount of time later, unknown location )

Opening his eyes in panic, Joseph breathed heavily while looking around. He was in an unknown room, and didn't know how he had gotten there.

' System !'

[ Do not panic Host. You were taken here by some men dressed in black suits who works for Kobuchi Electronics, this is apparently the house that Hideo bought for you.]

' Ughhhh.....I'll have to learn to not panic like that in the future.' Thought Joseph as he laid in his bed. However his curiosity became too big and he decided to explore the house, even though he was still a bit tired.

He found out that the house was a modern one, completely furnished except for the guest room, and of decent size. Allowing himself to relax after exploring the house, Joseph jumped on the couch that was placed directly in front of the tv in the living room. He then watched the news and saw that no one was talking about the even that took place around the Suhara's household. However he just shrugged it off, as he suddenly remembered about something.

" That guy, Hamagiri, what he did he mean when he mouthed those words. ' I'm not like them, I am normal' What am I supposed to understand from that ?"
