Kaiser's team vaulted across buildings like acrobats. Eventually, they reached the other chaos fragment near the supermarket. Beasts swarmed out of the rift like ants searching for food. The woman turned her head to look at the bulky man and said in a lazy tone.
"Kurt, you take care of this."
Kurt pulled out a bottle of wine from his back.
"You got it, Lisa."
Lisa turned away and jumped to the other building, rushing towards the next fragment. Kurt broke open the glass bottle with a flick of his finger. The cap flew off the top, landing on the roof. He got the bottle near his mouth and gulped down the entire bottle. He wiped his mouth and sighed afterwards. With a blush on his face, he looked down to see monsters crawling on the streets.
"You would make perfect punching bags." Kurt stated in a drowsy voice.
He fell, crashing into the road. Dust rose up as the monsters snapped their heads in his direction. The beasts growled seeing their enemy. Kurt lazily got up and balanced himself and took small steps towards the beasts. The monsters roared and lunged at him with their massive maws. Kurt side-stepped, grazing the monster with his shoulder.
The monster stopped itself and looked back. It tried to attack Kurt again but tripped over. It crashed towards the ground as Kurt grazed more beasts. The beast felt disoriented, and its head was spinning circles. The world was spinning, and it felt its body was unnaturally heavy. It felt…drunk. It stood up and tried to balance itself on its feet but fell forward again.
After a few minutes, George had grazed a significant portion of the monsters. He gripped the handle of the weapon on his back and pulled it from its sheath. It has the handle of spear but with a massive blade on its tip that resembled a machete more than a spear – A Guandao. He walked between the beasts, stabbing them one at a time. As more beats came out, their path was blocked by the corpse of their fellow monsters.
"Where is Robert? I'm already running out of alcohol." He said in an annoyed manner.

The last member approached Kaiser who was sitting atop a pile of dead bodies. More monsters rushed out of the fragment trying to climb the mountain. The member tapped Kaiser's shoulder and the commander turned back. The member has curly brown hair and eyes with a mole on his left cheek, a round nose, oval face and wore an all-black outfit like the mandatory uniform of the EOC.
"How long are you gonna take, man? It's been half an hour already!" The man shouted.
"Okay – Okay. Calm down, Robert. You can close the rift or whatever." Kaiser pouted.
Robert sighed and lifted his finger. His eyes glowed blue as he started to draw something in the air. Streaks of light manifested in the air as Robert's body sped up. In a few seconds, the circle was completed. Robert pushed it towards the fragment, and it attached itself onto the split. The fragment shuttered, then calmed down. After a few moments, it was stitched back together, and the rift was completely gone.
Kaiser pouted and looked down at the confused beats who looked in the direction of the rift. The next second, their bodies exploded in countless fragments and covered the street with blood and bones.
"Alright…Let's get to the next one." Kaiser stated as he stood up, his clothes were perfectly clean without a single trace of blood.
"And quickly." Robert replied as they descended the mountain.

Lisa and the other man made it to the other fragment which in the bowling alley. Lisa locked eyes with the man and said in a tired tone.
"Grim. Go."
"Okay…" Grim said while looking towards the alley.
He jumped down and saw beasts trying to squeeze their way through the door.
He grabbed the weapon on his back and pulled out a weapon that looked like Kurt's but was thinner and longer – A Naginata. He stepped towards the monsters who broke through the door. The building crashed into itself as the beasts lunged at him. He hesitated for a moment and let the beasts attack him. The beast swept past and looked at its claws. The claw had no blood or flesh on it. The beast tilted its head in confusion.
It turned back and saw Grim who was standing there without any wounds. He snapped back and leapt at the beast. The monster's mind seemed to stop for a moment before it got pierced by the tip of Grim's naginata. After the beast fell, he wiped the blood off his face and whispered in a soft tone.
"I would've been toast it I didn't activate it in time…I need to be quicker at making decision."
He scratched and knocked on his head a couple of times before asking himself.
"What was I doing again?"
He turned back and looked at the destroyed building and instantly it came to his mind.
'Ah…yes, a chaos fragment…Are the beasts still alive after an entire building crashed on them. I don't know…their durability is pretty good…'
Just as he thought that a chunk of the debris flew at him. His eyes widened and rolled out of the way. He saw the monsters tearing through the fallen bowling alley as they advanced towards him. He awkwardly smiled and thought in his mind.
'Knew it!'
***
Robert and Kaiser arrived at Kurt's fragment, and they saw him sitting down and drinking wine. They heard the roars of the chaos beasts on the other side of the massive wall of corpses. They approached Kurt who was covered in blood. He gulped down another bottle of wine before saying a drunk tone.
"Took you long enough…"
"Yeah…I was having a little too much fun. Now, Robert. Do your thing." Kaiser exclaimed.
Robert nodded and drew the circle again with extreme speed. He waved his hand, and the circle went past the wall attached to the fragment. It shook violently and then calmed down before stitching itself back up. The remaining beasts exploded, covering the wall with blood and bones.
"Now, let's go to the next!" Kaiser stated.
***
Lisa arrived at the last fragment at the capital's airport. She stood atop a building, resting her elbow on her thigh. She looked below and saw the beasts roaming the streets, raring and howling like wild animals. He scowled and thought.
'Let's finish this quickly."
She yawned and a glint appeared in her eyes. She lazily waved her hand and grabbed the attention of all the beasts. She looked at her belt and sighed. Taking out two daggers, she jumped down and landed on one of the monsters. She pulled back and swung her daggers down with force. The daggers traveled through the beast's flesh and cut him in half.
She landed on the ground and rushed towards the beasts with her daggers. The blades cut through the beast's skin like butter. She spun like a windmill and struck like a panther. In the mists of the chaos, only the horrific melody of the chaos beasts roar could be heard. She easily cut several beasts in half, causing a gust of wind that pushed the other back.
A beast swung its claw at her. Her eyes widened and she ducked. The monsters struck above her as he jumped up and flipped backwards, spinning like a tornado. Her eyes gleam with intent as the beast howled at her. Lisa attacked the monster with her momentum, tunneling through its body. She landed on her feet, crouching while holding her daggers as the beast's body, fell both ways.
