20th Ward, War between CCG and the Aogiri Tree

When Tatara led his troops of the Aogiri Tree to join the fray, it had terrible consequences for the CCG as the ghouls that joined the battle were far stronger, commonly on the B-Rate by ratings of this world.

They started slaughtering the cannon fodder soldiers of the CCG with the speed of light, and dead bodies were only piling up here and there.

Soon after the start of the attack, blood started flowing like a river and the air had the heavy stench of death in it.

The most terrifying one was, of course, Tatara, who with his giant bikaku kagune was akin to a laughter machine to these paper-like soldiers of the CCG. Probably even would have for a very, very long time.

Even high-ranking members of the CCG didn't last long before him as he was now many times stronger thanks to Lucien's care and blood essences, of course. Soon enough, Special-Class Ghoul Investigators arrived on the scene. Currently, only one arrived, but even that was enough for now.

It was a man, a heavy-built man of middle age with black hair and eyes. He wore his hair in a pompadour style and had a neat mustache. His name was Tanakamaru Mōgan, Special-Class Ghoul Investigator with an SS-Rated Ukaku-type quinque named Higher Mind. His unique was in the form of twin cannons, shooting beams of concentrated energy or RC Cells.

"Oh, boy."

Murmured the newly arrived investigator as he looked at the forces of the CCG in a terrible state, losing their foothold everywhere, being overwhelmed by the forces of the Aogiri Tree. Tatara didn't say anything and just rushed at his target, which was him, at full speed.

Soon his bikaku kagune collided with the investigator's quinque and sparks were flying in the air.

When the clash ended, one could see cracks all over the SS-Rated Ukaku quinque and that the quinque was about to be broken with one clash.

Tanakamaru Mōgan started shooting at Tatara with his quinque, but Tatara dodged all shots were quickly and soon again slashed at Tanakamaru Mōgan with his bikaku kagune to which Tanakamaru Mōgan defended with his quinque.

Only this time, the defending was a failure and his quinque Higher Mind broke into several parts as Tatara's bikaku tail managed to destroy it perfectly.

"Seems like it's my loss, boy..."

That were the last words said by Tanakamaru Mōgan, Special-Class Ghoul Investigator of the Commission of Counter Ghoul, before Tatara pierced his heart with his bikaku tail, killing the ghoul investigator on the spot.

Then after dealing with Special-Class, he proceeded to kill the remaining ghoul investigators on the scene, targeting, especially senior members. After this part of the 20th Ward was perfectly cleaned of all ghoul investigators, the group reorganized and went for the main target, Washuu Yoshitoki and the commanding center of the operation.

=============================================

In the center of the 20th Ward, there was a whole small fortress created out of the armored transporters and countless cannon fodder soldiers of the CCG were all around the place, on their outposts and guarding the command center.

Amongst them were several high-ranking members of the CCG aka senior ghoul investigators, and even Associate Special-Class and Special-Class ghoul investigators were stationed there. In the middle of the fortress-like formation was a mobile command center armored transport vehicle, from which everything regarding the battle of 20th Ward was commanded.

Washuu Yoshitoki was wearing his commander's white suit and sat inside the mobile command center armored transport vehicle and looked at several huge electronic screens that played the situation at the 20th Ward and the tragedy that was going on in the 20th Ward.

Then as he was watching the situation of the operation in the 20th Ward, something suddenly happened and numerous gunshots and screams were heard from him outside.

Washuu Yoshitoki hurriedly switched the cameras to ones that were monitoring the area of the command center and saw countless red-cloaked Aogiri Tree members attacking the command center with a white-cloaked ghoul with white hair, bloody red eyes, and a mask of the same color.

Tatara was leading his soldiers to war.

Meanwhile, as Washuu Yoshitoki was observing the fight outside of the mobile command center armored transport vehicle, there was a 'fight' going on. Tatara was like a sharp arrow tearing through the bodies of cannon fodder soldiers of CCG.

His bikaku kagune tail was tearing bodies like a knife cutting through butter.

Soon enough, Tatara encountered another Special-Class ghoul investigator, but the unlucky fellow was killed after one exchange with Tatara's bikaku tail severing his head on the spot.

After some time, when screams finally extinguished and most of the cannon fodder soldiers of the CCG and ghoul investigators were already killed, everything was over.

Washuu Yoshitoki, who was watching the entire thing behind the screens, knew that everything was already over. So he stood up from his commander chair and walked out of the mobile command center armored transport vehicle.

He stood before Tatara, surrounded by several tens of red-cloaked Aogiri Tree members with Tatara standing before him. Tatara looked at Washuu Yoshitoki with an expressionless face and with eyes like a wolf looking at its prey.

"So, this is the end of the road. Isn't it Mr. Shen?"

Asked Washuu Yoshitoki.

He even called Tatara by his real name, Shen before he arrived in Japan and took the name Tatara.

Shen Tatara, as it would Lucien called him, still had an uninterested expression on his face and only looked at Yoshitoki, waiting for the dead man's last words. To his words, Tatara only nodded his head lightly.

"As we are talking now, probably your new master is already killing my family already. My son at headquarters should be also, already dead and Vasuki is currently being burned to the ground."

One must admit that Washuu Yoshitoki was a really intelligent man, no wonder that Lucien always talked about him being different from this family and was probably the only one truly acceptable Washuu clansman.

Tatara then came to the Washuu Yoshitoki and looked into his eyes and with one extremely fast slash of his bikaku tail, he pierced through his heart and created a giant hole in his chest.

Then with several slashes, he practically destroyed his body and then he stored his body in the interspatial ring given to him by Lucien.

He was storing there all bodies of ghouls that were killed today.
