Take his friends

As soon as Yang yelled "OVERSHADOW ",

every inorganic material in the entire island turned pure white. clothes, shoes, walls, even screens, there was a total white-out and everyone saw it. Ranging from those who were out in the open to those who were enjoying the privacy of a public toilet, everyone had a momentary white-out. Shiro's presence and energy could be sensed throughout the island, it was as if he was everywhere at the same time. The hunters that surrounded the school were throw into daze because even after everything regained their normal colour Shiro's presence remained, they felt as if he was standing right in front of them and at the same time as if he was far away. Not just the hunters, the students, the teachers, even those that were taking walks at the edge of the island, felt the presence. when it finally stopped, Shiro was nowhere to be found, his presence was completely gone, not even the most proficient sensors could locate him. it was as if he had vanished not just from the island, but from the surface of the earth. 

  The hunters finally began to understand why so much worth was being placed on a young boys head, he was just too elusive, it was the first time that about two hundred hunters were completely outmanouverd by one person in a matter of minutes. the shock they received hurt them down to their pride and little by little, they began to give up

  Just as the hunters were about to make their way home, they began to hear a voice through their mobile devices. 

  "Don't tell me you guys are just going to walk away without even trying, did you really think the show was over? No, this is where it begins, follow me and we could be rich"

  None of the hunters needed to think hard to know who was speaking to them, there was only one person they knew that could hack so many devices at once. In a loud whisper each of the hunters uttered the name 'Cypher'.

There was no man who was ever involved with the underground that didn't know of Cypher the machine man, the only successfully made cyborg ever known. there wasn't any man that didn't know of his achievements, nor was was there any that didn't hear his rumours. with both combat and intellectual capabilities, he was what one would call a perfect hunter. 

  The hunters listened to Cypher and came to an agreement that the price would be shared equally among them, not that the money really mattered to him; he just just wanted to catch the only prey that has ever eluded him, not once, not twice but five consecutive times. not many people knew of it but Cypher had hunted Shiro alone five times, and in all five, he was completely eluded. Now with many hunters having the same goal, he could finally perfect his score.

  Immediately after the agreement, Cypher came up with a plan that everyone saw as highly effective. The plan was to make Shiro come to them instead of chasing him around, and the Best way to do that was to take everyone he knew hostage. That included his entire school, his family, his favourite restaurant, etc. everyone that Shiro spent more than an hour with was to be taken hostage. 

  Cypher's plan was being executed perfectly.

within a matter of minutes Shiro's house was surrounded, his school was surrounded, his favourite restaurant (Tanaka's)...was surrounded, and his location was being traced by using his past movements and running habits. 

  All parts of Cypher's plan seemed to flawless, but in truth it was a hard feat to carry out. the hunters would have to fight an elite group of teachers who were prepared to engage them, and also get the students to gather in one location. despite the difficulty of the plan it was considered easy when compared to chasing after Shiro. 

  After a few communications were made, the hunters were ready to take the school and were beginning to close in. meanwhile, many students still walked around the school premises unaware of the impending attack. but as soon as the hunters stormed into the school to begin their operation, a voice belonging to principal Rin called out loudly "Kojiro!!!" and immediately, every student was covered on all sides with a magical barrier, one for each.

  Meanwhile at the eternal tower, Shiro received a call from Victor and was informed of the happenings. He immediately resolved to go back but he was stopped by Victor who explained to him that things were being kept under control at the moment and that his return was quite unnecessary. the whole situation was broken down properly for Shiro to understand, but he was worried about what would happen if the barrier was taken down. 

 "then I'll go " Yang said, as he brought himself into Shiro's view 

  "It won't fool them for long " Shiro replied.

then Yang smiled and answered "I don't need to fool them, I just need to take them out one by one "

 "okay fine, I'll be waiting here for things to calm down" Shiro said, as he watched Yang vanish into the distance.
