The silent interrogation became a showdown between two mysterious powerhouses. V the observer of darkness and Monica the silent shadow. Kento now has become a trophy whoever claims him takes the key. Monica was holding Kento's arm and V stood there without any word but by the looks of it he didn't want Kento to go with her. Monica looks at him and says - "close it V." V looked at Kento's eyes and says - "he's just a glitch and you know how we deal with it." Monica lets go of Kento and stepped closer towards V and says - "not all glitches are meant to be erased." Kento was just a spectator of this showdown. He looks at them crossing each other with powerful words but couldn't get the courage to speak. "I will tell you once again, close it." V looks at her not with anger but with a soft and almost innocent look. "You better be right about him." V snapped his fingers and all of a sudden the white walls around them started crumbling. It became dust as they went down and a sealed room with thick steel walls started appearing as Kento looks around he gets surprised. The room was way too big than the white room. The walls fell. The room is now visible. Thick steel walls. Only one door. Monica turns around and holds Kento's arm and drags him. "Monica." V called them with a loud and deep tone. Monica looks at him. "If he turns up to be a threat I won't think twice." Monica doesn't say anything she simply walks away with Kento. She opens the door and they get out. The door closes. "One mistake one wrong move and I will kill him." V's tone covered the room. The steel walls can contain powerful threats but not his words.
The footsteps around the stretched hallway became louder and louder. Kento was being dragged by Monica. As they walked Monica moved faster with every step. Kento tried to walk a bit slow but Monica's grip tightened and she drags him. "Stop pulling me." Kento pulled his hand away and steps back. Monica looks at him surprisingly and says - "why what's wrong?" Kento looks around and sees thick steel walls covering the whole hallway. Low flickering lights. The steel walls covered the hallway as he looked ahead. "Where are we?" Kento's voice softened. "We are currently deep inside an underground facility. This is the eighth level. There are seven above us and five beneath this one. Anything else?" Kento is in complete shock as if he has seen a ghost. He looks at her and mumbles - "I want to get out please." Her face reaction annoyed. She gets closer and holds his arm and started dragging him again. "We don't have time for all these just come with me and you will know." Kento didn't say a word he followed her. She stopped in front of a giant door. The door was also made out of thick steel layers. A strange mark was painted on the door. Monica pulls out a black card and swiped. A section opened and a device came out with a keypad. Kento looks at it but couldn't understand the words. Monica types something and all of a sudden the steel door started to go upwards. Inside a white room with bright lights. Kento and Monica steps inside and Kento's eyes almost popped out. Other humans in white coats were there but no one gave him attention. Giant screens, tables that had some laboratory equipment but they looked far more advanced and high tech. There was even a portal like gateway which was sealed away and some people were surrounding it while doing some experiments. Kento looks around and gets more surprised. The lab has three pods all three of them contain a glowing stone which was sealed away by a barrier. "We don't have enough time Kento, if you want all these to be over then follow me." Kento looks at her as she walks away he walked faster and follows her.
Monica and Kento steps in a room. It looked more like a private room for one. The tables has files lying around. There were three clocks on the wall, all with different time settings. Some documents were pinned on the wall. The room was a mess. "Sit down and don't touch anything." Monica says it and she started looking for something in the drawers. Kento sits down and waits. He just wants everything to end. He holds his mouth and rubbing it. He was feeling a bit of pain. Mostly from the punch V threw him. Monica came closer her hand behind her back and she sits down in front of him. "Give me your hand." She doesn't request she demands. Kento, confused and scared puts his hand in front. Monica holds his hand and pulled him closer. Kento looks at her eyes and she looks at his. She smiles a bit. "I haven't noticed but you are kinda cute." Her voice felt completely different. Her tone becomes a bit lustful and she looks at Kento with affection. Kento who was clueless couldn't resist the temptation he gets more closer. "Who are you really?" His tone softer and calmed. "Look down darling." Monica tilted her head. Kento smiles and looks down. That's it. This is all the drama we get for now. As soon as he looked down the jolly and the temporary smile wiped off he became terrified and his face twisted. There was a knife inside his hand. It went through from one side to another. Blood started coming out and a strange black aura was leaking. It's just like when Scarface was shot. He screamed and pulled his hand away. As soon as he does he falls backwards. He holds his arm and started screaming. Monica gets up and says - "come in now." The door opens and a man was standing. He's holding a kit. He's wearing a coat and glasses. He gets closer to Kento. Kento still screaming "just kill me for god's sake. I can't take it anymore." Monica looks annoyed and says "V was right you are an idiot." The man sits down near him and pulled out an injection filled with green liquid. He holds Kento's bleeding hand and pins him. "Don't move too much ok." The man injected him in his hand and slowly the bleeding stops. The black aura vanished and Kento slowly calms down. The man looks at Kento and says - "Hi there. My name is Ralph. You don't remember but we have met before." Kento's eyes looked troubled and he was near his limits. He pushed the man away and says - "I am not a goddamn toy. I want to go home." The man gets up and smiles. "All done Miss Monica I will leave now. Bye Kento." He waved at him and left the room.
Kento gets up and sees his hand is getting healed. The wound is getting better as time passed. Within a few minutes his hand became good as new. He looks at Monica and asked - "why did you do that?" Monica leans back and says - "you're just like us Kento. You have what it takes to be an exterminator. The interesting part is you possess almost infinite amount of energy." Kento looks confused sits down. He looks at her sharp eyes and says - "what's an exterminator?" The room became quiet and Monica's eyes fixed on Kento. She doesn't say anything she looks at his eyes. Kento doesn't break eye contact and asks "why do you all exist in the first place?" Monica tilted her head a bit and smiled. "There's the Kento that have what it takes." Kento's eyes stretched and he seemed concerned. Monica's tone shifted. "Fine then let me tell you." Monica takes a deep breath. "An exterminator is a person with supernatural abilities and blessed with cosmic strengths. Previously you saw me when I stopped that old man back then. It's called time manipulation. I simply created a pocket dimension and it gave me the authority to do whatever I want within it." He looks confused and shocked. He leaned back. "So you guys can control time?" Kento's tone became more softer and silent. "Are they a bunch of mad scientists or what?" Kento whispers in his mind. As soon he says these words in his mind Monica says "no we are not mad scientists we are more like a balancer." Kento's eyes gets wider and his reaction changed. He didn't speak those lines out loud then how did she read his thoughts. "Don't be surprised it's called telepathy." Monica says it this time. Kento on the other hand was too confused and puzzled. He looks at her and says - "so you guys are good guys right?" Monica seems annoyed again and says - "it really proves you are an idiot." Kento leans back and his reaction was certainly annoyed as well.
"Wait how did you read my thoughts." Kento's tone filled with questions and his tone was deep. He says it in a desperate way. "This place is also a pocket dimension. When you were with V he created a simple barrier type dimension to contain any threats. We gain full access to that space for a certain time. We can move things within it control time and use telepathic abilities." The more Kento hears about stuff the more he gets confused and shocked. He looks at her, suddenly a question came to his mind. "So that man who attacked me was one of you?" She looked a bit curious and concerned. "You mean Victor?" Kento understood it was the man who attacked him. Those painful memories came back. "He goes by the name Scarface. He was one of us. He's no longer with us." Kento looks down and he looked a bit sad. Not because of him but something inside him felt different. "And the woman who saved you is also not with us." Kento looks at her and asked - "then why did she save me?" Monica looks away and says - "it's her choice. Our team found you and the shopkeeper unconscious. So we took you both here and wiped your memories of that incident." Kento gets up and says - "fine then wipe it again and leave me alone. Whatever it is I don't want to get involved." The room became quiet. The atmosphere shifted to a cold and silent scenario. Kento desperately wanted to get back home. He just wants a simple life.
Monica stood up, she looked at him and says - "you can't." Kento's eyes stretched and he felt angry inside him. "I don't give a damn about you all if you guys can erase my memories then do it and leave me." Monica turns around and opens the drawer. She took out a file and ignored Kento. Kento who felt weird about it and stepped closer. He was angry because he didn't want to be here. He stretched his arm towards Monica and tries to grab her hand. Just he was about to - "you will die out there." Monica's words stopped him. No abilities used only words. He looked at her as she walked away. She opens the drawer and then puts it back. Kento standing there stunned as he looks at her. "What do you mean?" His whisper barely reached Monica. She looks at him and says - "you're a beacon Kento you are the reason why that glitch appeared. Too much void energy stored in one place can bend the very fabric of reality. You're the reason why Scarface showed up at first place." Her words were like blades cutting Kento's mind. Kento steps back and smiles. Monica felt something off. Why would a man smile when he's this deep in a rabbit hole. He looks at her and laughs. "You guys, I get it now. You all are just a bunch of mad scientists. You want me to trust you all that's why you did all these at the first place." Just by hearing it Monica's face completely changed. It's not her fault. If you save someone and try to help them it's a good thing , but when they totally don't accept after all you've done for them, it simple will trigger anger. Monica doesn't say a single word neither she talks to Kento. "V" she shouted almost with a tone filled with anger and annoyance. Just after calling it the door opens and V comes in. His outfit changed. He's wearing a blue sports fit. He enters and says - "so what do you think now? Still believe in your glitch theory?" Kento looks at him and steps closer. "You're the one with a glitch in your rotten brain." V grabs him by his collar. This time Kento fights back and grabbed his as well. "You got a death wish punk?" V is ready to strike him anytime. The moment felt intense. "Don't waste your time V." Monica's tone. "Just throw him where you found him. You were right about him." Monica was disappointed and her tone becomes softer and mixed with sorrow. V suddenly pins him down on the wall and takes out the injection. "You bastards I will kill you all." Kento's eyes filled with rage his tone almost deadly. Just as V was about to inject him Monica told him to stop. "Don't V. Let him remember. Let him remember what choice he made today. Let him remember he had a chance but his bloody tongue was in the way." V drags him away from the room. Kento sees Monica standing there but looking away from him.
Kento was walking in front and V followed him behind. Together they stepped inside an elevator. It's going up. As they were looking at each other V felt disgusted and angry as he was looking at Kento. The elevator stops and the door opens. It's an old abandoned shop. Walls broken, interiors old and rusty. He pushed Kento out of the elevator and looks at him. "I hope you die out there. You had one chance and you wasted it." The door shuts down and Kento is now free but now he is just an open target. He looks outside and says - "whatever happens is fate."
