Chapter 5:

Ryder

Salphuthrite: Extinction Protocol


[with Kanue and Ryder]


Kanue took one knee down and proceeded to undo Ryder ties,as the final knot fell down, Ryder immediately stood up 


"Ah finally feels good to move more then one part of my body " Ryder then looked at Kanue who was just watching him silently" Alright so since I'm already dragged into this , mind shedding more light about everything about you , Salphuthrite or whatever" 


Kanue sighed "well i suppose it is basically your right at this point" Kanue Walked over to near where he was and leaned on the wall " Alright first of all from what we know Salphuthrite are extremely sadistic beings with the ability to Shapeshift into anything and have extra ordinary speed and strength, and are extremely intelligent. Where they came from or how they started that we don't know but we do know when they first appeared ,it was back 5yrs ago in Argentina when a man reportedly saw a doppelganger of himself " Kanue paused before continuing "The Man reported that for that moment he couldn't tell who was who it had all the same features and characteristics as him even the same memories, he stated it to be the worst experience of his life shortly after he disappeared, later still in Argentina a women reported that she saw being with pale flesh , big dark eyes and Tendrils in a place experimenting on a human when she was passing by during her night shift as a scientist she later went missing as well and one day the Salphuthrite went on a rampage in Argentina then moved on to other countries just in a span of 5yrs they've already wiped out 45% of humanity but yet Japan is a place they are most rare in because they started in Argentina which is the most farthest country away from Japan geographically speaking, and the government have made sure to protect this place at all costs that's why nobody can travel in and out of Japan anymore. We've been fighting for a long while and our efforts paid off a bit so far" 


Ryder listened to him his expression intense " Damn this isn't kind of information that's even made public tch damn Japan, what about you what's your relationship in this" Ryder asked 


"I work for a very important figure in Japan whose name i can't share " Kanue responded in his usual emotionless voice tone 


"I see and about the question you asked before what was it "why a Salphuthrite would come to the school only to end up dead" why was that didn't you know, wasn't it you that killed it" 


"I wish I did , Ryder, but this being appeared to me in school i brought out my sword in defense but when I only went for a swing it didn't react it just stood and took my attack which was unusual " Kanue responded.


"Oh i see" Ryder said a bit disappointed 


"That's good he believes me about that part " Kanue thought to himself.


But suddenly Ryder expression changed as if he remembered something"ah shit ah shit " Ryder Said in frustration.


"What's wrong with you ,Ryder? " Kanue asked in his usual tone


"I was with my friends before i came back to school because i forgot one of my belongings in there and that's when I heard sound upstairs and saw you with the bloody sword next to our teacher corpse, right now i didn't realize but my friends must be worried sick " Ryder punched the wall in anger .


[At Ryder's home] 

Some people knocked on the door , Ryder's mom opened "what can I do for you" but it turns out to be Ryder friends" oh what a lovely surprise what are you all doing here?" She saw that they didn't look happy and Ryder wasn't there " oh what's wrong and where is Ryder isn't he with you " .


" We're sorry we lost ,Ryder, we don't know where he is" Etsuko replied tears rolling out of his eyes.


"Wh - What do you mean " Ryder mom asked her expression changing from happy to concerned slowly.


"After school were we all together walking home but Ryder said he forgot something in the school " Junko Said with horror in her eyes "He said it'd only take a moment, that he'd be right back but slowly moments turned to minutes and minutes turned to hours .... We all decided to come to the school and look for Ryder but we couldn't find him b-b ...but when we checked upstairs in our tech lab and the hallway we saw what looked like signs of a fight... It means Ryder's been abducted ".


Ryder's Mother dropped to the ground tears in her eyes " Th-Thats not .... That can't be true... Ryder's always been a strong and capable young man... Always tried to help and be useful anyway he could after his father passed away he was all I had and truth be told I feel like he's still all I have ,So please h-how .. who would kidnap him" Her voice barely above a whisper.


And Ryder's mom starts sobbing, Etsuko puts his hand on shoulder "Please don't cry ma'am no matter what it takes we'll find Ryder .... That's a promise " 


[With Ryder and Kanue] 


"Well that's a problem... In the school i didn't really have the time to clear up the signs of my fight with the Salphuthrite.. I only had enough time to carry Ryder and the Salphuthrite body before I talked to Kenny ... By now Ryder's friends would have already checked the school and saw it and assume he's been kidnapped " Kanue thinks to himself. He then looks at Ryder "hmmm by now his friends have already told his parents and maybe even the police by now.. I'll have to find away to de-escalate the situation before things get too far" 


"Hey Ryder" He says. Ryder temporarily snaps out of his frustration mode " Ugh what is it Kanue "


" Go back home boy " Kanue said his expression unreadable. To which Ryder was a bit confused cuz it was out of character for Kanue wondering why would Kanue who seems emotionless care about his internal affairs 


" G- go home?" Ryder asks in confusion. 


"Yeah you heard me I said go, got a problem with that 


"N-no it's just that I didn't really expect you to care about something like this" 


"I wouldn't want anything bad happening to you later now , would i ?" 

"Since when does he act like this ,i didn't expect this from him" Ryder thinks to himself. " Alright then , Kanue I'll go home " Ryder looks at him carefully before carrying his bag 


But right before Ryder is about to leave , Kanue speaks up "oh and Ryder don't tell anybody about anything the Salphuthrite and stay careful, you understand?" 


" Ummm yeah i get it" Ryder responds a bit quickly, He then opens the door and leaves
