I looked at him and his extended hand, my logical side and my moral side of my brain conflicting. But one side won, and I stood up and shook his hand. I had worked on creating a biochemical weapon in the war, so it was about time I put my skills to use. I decided to make tweaks to weapon, to limit the number of people that it would kill and the number that would be affected by the weapon. I engineered it to remain dormant unless it came into contact with a decent amount of demonic energy, then the virus would render the host almost useless. Giving them a high fever, severe coughing, severe headache, nausea, and muscle aches. The virus is disguised as the flu, but all flu medication has no affect on the virus. Therefore all mamono and incubus will be affected by the virus.
When the mission to release the virus was asked, I volunteered to go alone, to lower suspicion and because it's easier for me to work alone. I went into the underground tunnels of the city, and finally reached the underground river, where the city gets most of the water that's sent straight to the tap. I grab the vial out of my pocket, and take a look at it. The liquid is clear, to disguise it as water, to not rise suspicion from any unexpecting hosts.
I take the vial and take the cap off of the vial and I look at the racing water below. I pause for a few second as my moral side begs me stop and think about all the innocents that will die. "Stop!" screams a voice behind me, the voice suprises me so much that I almost dropped the vial into the river. I turned around to see three mamono cops about a couple of meters away, 1 dragon, 1 demon, and finally 1 manticore. The dragon has her gun pointed at me, while the manticore's tail spines look like they're about to fire, and the demon has her hands on her knees and is out of breath. I raise one eyebrow as I extend my hand holding the vial over the river. The demon takes another step forward "Let us just wait a sec and not do anything rash," she tries to reason with me.
"Take another step or movement closer, I'll drop it," I threatened. In response the demon stops her approach. "This vial contains a deadly virus, according to my calculations, if I let the contents of the vial fall into the river, the first person will be infected about 30 seconds after I drop this. By the time you tell the city to turn off the water, hundreds will already have been infected..." I say as the manticore grits her teeth and the dragon growls at me. "I wouldn't get snappy with me if I were you. You shoot me, I drop the vial, people die. You shoot a spine at me, I drop the vial, people die. You try to run at me, I drop the vial..." I say.
"People die," the dragon cuts me off. I nod my head, in response to the dragon. "Think about all the innocent people that your about to kill. Wives, children, families. Don't you know what it's like to have a family, to have..." the demon starts to say.
"Their innocents was removed when they started to insult me. And yes, I had a family, the keyword is had. I had a little brother that was already married in the war. But then he was taken away by one of you monsters. His wife thought he was dead so in her grief she killed herself. Even when me and my fellow soldiers came back from the war, what where we greeted with? Insults and discrimination, we weren't even given a second chance. And don't even think that if I drop this that you can force me to make an antidote, because it doesn't even exist. So go on and oh do please tell me one good reason that I shouldn't drop this vial?" I ask them as I lessen my grip to only my thumb and pointer finger holding up the vial. The demon was about to answer, but she took a step forward. "Wrong move," I say and I drop the vial.
