As Zakki stepped past the ash pile he noted that the newly arrived shinigami hadn't picked up the vial containing the eyes so the human snatched it up and slid it into his coat pocket before Zakeriah addressed him. He bowed in return but simply said, "I'm pleased to meet you Zakeriah. For now my name will remain Z. to you. I'm glad you arrived when you did. I was about to take some drastic measures that no one would have been happy about but you provided the necessary element of surprise to end this quickly."
Looking around at the contained zone of damage the lean young man sighed and kicked absently at the rubble. At least most of the city had been spared from the carnage that likely would have occurred if the battle had continued any longer. Time was now crucial. The local authorities would be moving in and hanging around was a bad idea. Zakki shouted after Alexia's retreating form, "A job well done!" before lowering his voice to add a final comment to Zakeriah, "Thank you again for your help. I'd better get a move on!"
With a confident stride the pale youth made his way back out of the radius of the destruction towards his waiting car. The young agent in the driver's seat stared incredulously at his bloodied, shredded suit and sooty face but Zakki kept up his cool façade as the BMW started silently and they turned away from the site of the battle. The scream of sirens could already be heard in the distance as the Director of Cerberus Tokyo headed towards his waiting jet. The future would tell what the importance of this battle was and just exactly what the arcane object nestling in his pocket could do for Cerberus.
