4 - 3

Back in the city, the snake-headed Enigma's struggled as they battled against Zukafu with already half of their members were defeated with their carcasses evaporating, revealing human hosts, unconscious.

Seeing the unconscious hosts, the snake headed Enigma's crawled at high speed as they attempted to consume the hosts.

Zukafu, seeing this, used his lightning speed to grab the hosts, one by one, and transport them away from the Enigma's sights but one of them managed to grab a host and consume them.

The Enigma grew new arms as well as growing another snake head beside the other one.

Feeling superior, the upgraded Enigma grabbed the other snake-head Enigma's and began consuming them, one by one, with its appearance changing for each consumption.

"AWWWW!!!" screamed the Enigma as it was experiencing pleasure from growing newer limbs as well as growing bigger and bigger. "Tha- THAT's NICE!!"

It had changed to what appeared like its Eight-headed snake form but it had only five heads, scattered around its body and its arms growing arms upon other arms.

Zukafu begins shooting lightning bolts at the Enigma but it was able to sustain the damage. The Enigma began laughing with its laughter sounded uncontrollably with its pitch going from high to low.

"Dammit!" Said Zukafu to himself.

The Enigma lunged at intense speed where it grabbed Zukafu by his leg with its long slimy tongue as he tried escaping.

It then forced him to collide onto the ruined buildings around them. Blood began to appear on Zukafu's face as he was mercily being thrashed.

The Enigma's main head opened, showing its host, where they freed them and ejected them onto the soil. The strings that held the host moved closer to Zukafu's arms and legs.

The strings wrapped themselves around his arms and legs and dragged the beaten Zukafu into the Enigma's head.

Zukafu struggled as he tried freeing himself from the strings grasp but the strings held tighter, making it difficult for Zukafu to free himself.

Once inside, the Enigma closed its head and the vein-like vines that resided above where Zukafu was where they descended down and covered his face as it now began using him as the Enigma's host.

Zukafu struggled as the Enigma was now putting him in a deep sleep as it used his brain. After a few minutes, Zukafu stopped resisting as he was now the Enigma's host.

After this, a robotic like voice inside the Enigma's head said "Target acquired, mission complete, returning to--"

But suddenly, the robotic-like voice began to fritz out of control with the vines, covering Zukafu's face, started to detach, one by one, causing the Enigma to roar in intense agony.

The Enigma's body parts started exploding out as they flew off from the main body. Blood started spewing out, both gross and unsettling to look at.

From inside the Enigma's head, Zukafu's body began to generate electrical energy where it grew and grew before becoming an electrical bomb as it caused the head to explode with blood splattering on the floor.

Zukafu fell onto the floor, covered in the disgusting blood, unconscious.

Unfortunately, the four other human hosts existing inside the destroyed Enigma were now unalived with their bodies unsalvageable.

The host that had been ejected abruptly woke up, finding themselves topless and around a mostly destroyed city.

They were at shock when they come to realise that the Enigma was destroyed as well as the other human hosts. They then saw Zukafu where, filled with anger, they stood up and walked up to the unconscious warrior.

They then find a blade that appeared in the design of a snake where they grab it. They examine it before they lifted the blade on top of Zukafu's head where they planned to drop it, killing him.

Before they could do so, Luna appeared from behind where she grabbed the blade and knocked the former host unconscious.

Naoya arrived, in the same condition as Luna where they were both tired. He walked up to Zukafu beside Luna and looked at him, seeing him quietly shivering.

"Do you mind carrying him?" Asked Luna.

Naoya bluntly answered "Yes!"

They heard the sounds of faint planes where they turned around, seeing a squad of heavily armoured airships where they landed down on the mostly destroyed city.

Upon landing, groups of squadrons exited the ships where they used specialised guns that were used to repair the destroyed parts of the city.

The duo watched as the city around them was slowly returning back to what the city originally looked.

Some of the squadrons marched towards Luna and Naoya where they analysed them with a scanner. After the scanning, they proceeded to Zukafu and the unconscious host where theirs scanners read Zukafu's reading being weak.

They then hurried back as they brought a gurney and placed him on top of it. They then took him inside one of the ships to give him treatment.

They were going to do the same with the bost but Luna stopped them, saying "They're responsible for this attack."

The squadron member answers "Understood." They then took out handcuffs where they arrested the former host and took them away.

AT THE BUNKER

After the Enigma attack was concluded, the bunker returned back to the school's gymnasium and immediately, Mary ran out, looking for Zukafu.

SOME TIME LATER...

Zukafu woke up in a hospital. He got up and looked around, finding Mary sitting beside him, sleeping.

"Finally." Said a voice. Zukafu looked around and saw his father standing beside the window. He looked at Zukafu and asked "How you feeling?"

Zukafu answered, "Like crap."

Yu laughed upon his sons response. He walked beside Zukafu and sat down and said to him, "Just to let you know, the Enigma has been dealt with... Albiet the fact that the school is now aware of your identity."

Zukafu reflects back on what happened and remembered him being stabbed in the heart. He looked at his father and said "I did it because that mad guy was going to kill Mary."

"I know and I think you did something valient that day." Said Yu, proud of what Zukafu did for Mary. "It has been years since I had last seen you battle at that intensity."

"Yeah..." said Zukafu, now beginning to remember the battle again the Spider-Enigma and then the Demon-Snake-Enigma and commenting, "Despite the win... I was still weak against that Enigma..." He looked at his hand and concluded, "I have to get even more stronger if I have to stop them."

"My, my!" Said Yu, surprised by his son's now sudden enthusiasm. "Its been years since you were this fired up..." Yu then stands and makes his eay out the door, "It makes me question whether you can move forward from your crimes."

Hearing that made Zukafu flinch.

Yu then parted saying "I have faith in you son. Like I always have."

Zukafu looks at the cloudly blue sky, his expression appearing serious.
