Chapter 107: Come after me
In a neat fancy wooden room, devoid of anything other than a few pieces of furniture and a single door, a female with glasses and dark hair tied in a bun, as well as a black and white robe, could be seen sitting with a few pieces of paper on her lap.
After a short period, she placed the papers on a small coffee table before her, sighing as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
"How exhausting..."
She muttered in a deflated tone. However, like a cat, her head instantly perked upwards as she looked toward a certain direction.
After a few seconds, her widened eyes seemed to relax a little as she stood up with a stretch.
Simultaneously, a Senkaimon revealed itself in the area she was previously staring at.
The doors rolled away from each other, revealing a blinding light as a figure stood out.
The female starched a few more muscles, standing straight as she stared attentively.
"Who are you and how did you get here?" She asked with an authoritative tone.
However, the figure failed to read the room as he spoke in a dismissive and almost playful tone.
"Jasmine Clover. It's an honour to meet the Gatekeeper of Spawn."
The figure revealed himself to be a tall male wearing a black trench coat that went to his knees, matching his deep black hair that Jasmine noticed to have grey streaks within it.
However, most interestingly was his blindfold over his eyes.
"You know who I am. Meaning you know It'd be within my power to take your life where you stand."
Jasmine spoke while trying to assess everything about the figure before her.
"Now, you see, there's only one part of that sentence which is true. Care to guess?" The man mocked, the Senkaimon closing behind him.
Jasmine paused for a moment, soon scoffing as she smirked.
"If you were planning to attack, you should have brought more than one person."
Jasmine announced upon seeing the Senkaimon closing.
The blindfolded man shrugged with a grin.
"I thought that too, but most of my other acquaintances are off on a more important mission. A mission whose target you know quite well."
Though Jasmine could see his eyes, she could notice him focus his gaze on her as he spoke once more.
"Oliver Clover, your Nephew..."
-BOOM
Before he could finish, an explosion of energy surged from Jasmine, her poker face faltering as she glared with dangerous eyes and clenched teeth.
The air thickened and it was as though the gravity's force had increased. The power was so great that even gentle streaks travelled through the air.
"What a powerful Reiatsu. The strongest I've ever seen."
Despite all this, the grin on the blindfolded man failed to waver as he raised his hand and pinched his blindfold.
"Tell me what business you have with Oliver," Jasmine spoke in a heavy and threatening tone.
The figure pulled his blindfold off, revealing bright blue eyes.
"Why don't you make me?"

-BOOM
Jasmine felt a wave of power counter hers as the man revealed his eyes. Yet, she didn't back down.
-CRACKLE
No, her Reiatsu seemingly increased as one could witness electricity crackle at the end of her eyes.
"Then so be it," Jasmine replied, bending her legs and tensing her fingers as if she were revealing nonexistent claws.

Isaac stood before who he once knew as Oliver and Zach at the far end of the living room, between them four cloaked figures.
Isaac could be seen with a complicated expression as he stared at Oliver...
Well, he didn't know if that was the right name to call him.
Everything, from his now cold and unknown personality to his appearance which now consisted of slick back hair with a single strand falling down his face, his eyes devoid of his usual thick glasses and...
Isaac widened his eyes as he froze upon hearing this.
For some reason, like gears turning in his mind, everything started to fall into place and make sense.
"Whether you like it or not Isaac, the prospect of having friends blinded you. It was your weakness. It held you back. You should be thanking me for possessing this body. After all, its previous owner was simply wasting it."
Isaac's widened eyes loomed for a few seconds, slowly changing as he tightened his eyebrows, veins bulged from his neck and he gritted his teeth.
"You bastard!"
He yelled, taking another step forward as he prepared to dash.
However, before he could move or even summon his Nen, one of the cloaked figures from before, the one who stood before the other three suddenly rose to his feet.
Turning to Isaac, the boy was barely able to notice the figure's long hair that fell to his shoulders.
-SHHM
This was the last scene he was able to witness before a stinging sensation ran through his body.
"Atomic Sword."
[Name: Unknown]
[Inherited Character: Cid Kagenou (Revolver)]
[Verse: Eminence in the Shadow]
The cloaked figure mumbled as he held a sword so long it was able to pierce Isaac's heart from the other side of the room.
It was so fast that Isaac hadn't noticed it, his brain only realising the wound after a few seconds upon Isaac looking down.
[Merlin, start contingency plan #1]
Isaac called out im his mind but there was no reply.
Under normal circumstances, Isaac wouldn't be worried as he's healed from worse injuries.
However, after a few seconds, he could sense something was wrong.
'It's...not healing.'
Isaac thought to himself, watching the cloaked figure's sword retract as the boy dropped face-first onto the ground.
He was bleeding profusely and he was seconds away from falling unconscious.
'Am I dying?'
He asked, unable to sense his beating heart as his vision blurred.
He could feel a cold sensation creep up in his insides as he could not move any part of his body.
"Now you know, Isaac. To trust in another is the same as to rely upon that person. Reliance is for the weak. It is of no use to us."
'W-Weak...'
Isaac could feel his consciousness inches away from fading, footsteps drawing closer to him as the muffled voice of Aizen seeped through.
No matter what he tried, whether it'd be summoning his Nen or even unleashing the Thing, nothing worked.
"You should not dwell on the betrayal that you can see. The truly terrifying betrayal is that which lies utterly hidden from your eyes, Isaac."
The last thing he was able to catch was feet walking before him as a figure kneeled before him.
"I'll be waiting for you, Isaac. Come after me."
These were the last words Isaac heard as he finally entered a deep slumber.

Also, I'd like to add something about Lucy.
Her character has absolutely nothing to do with her Sword.
Just like how Jett has additional Martial Art training above being possessed by Tsuna.
BTW, though I'm late and you guys probably don't have any left...
