Zeri stood in the middle of the ruined street, his eyes moving from one shattered building to another. Yuuta and Raven had disappeared completely, leaving him surrounded by wreckage and the faint groans of the Shadow Corps soldiers who had somehow survived his earlier attacks.
"Captain? Oh, Captain..." Zeri called, almost singing the words as his tentacles slowly moved around him. "Where are you?"
There was no answer.
Zeri tilted his head before one of his tentacles suddenly slammed into an overturned car. The vehicle collapsed beneath the impact, its metal frame crushing against the pavement as shattered glass scattered across the road.
"Not there."
Another tentacle swept across the side of a damaged building, tearing through concrete and sending chunks of the wall crashing onto the street. Zeri watched the dust rise for a moment before looking elsewhere, growing increasingly irritated by the silence.
"Where are you, Captain?"
Something moved near the entrance of a sewer.
