Gunk-Mire's massive head separated from his shoulders and hit the floor with a heavy thud. The rest of his mutated body collapsed a second later, finally still.
Above the bunker, Nagase and Senrigan both managed a faint smirk of relief… then their eyes rolled back and they passed out from blood loss and exhaustion.
Moments later the heavy thump of approaching choppers filled the air. Nakano's medical teams had finally arrived.
The battle was finally over.
Nakano's medical choppers descended on the ruined warehouse district in a flurry of rotor wash and flashing lights. Medics in white-and-blue gear moved quickly, loading the wounded onto stretchers. Senrigan, Anahita, Nagase, and even the green-haired girl Midori were carried out one after another. Kuroyami refused a stretcher and walked under his own power, though shadow energy still held several of his deeper wounds closed.
