The Room, the Billiards, the Darts, and Me
Flashback
Aki was getting her stuff ready from her locker when she heard "There he is! The one I told you about!" She turned and saw some blond haired guy, she didn't recognise him, and she knew a lot of people in the college
He was pointing at another student with red hair with yellow highlights, Aki would be lying if she didn't think he was cute
Students started gossiping about him, nasty things, which she couldn't believe " be careful! He's a freak!" She had enough of them and this guy
Musashi was shaking, what could he say, just then " hey elf ears!" Someone yelled, he gasped and saw one girl glaring at the other guy
" why don't you shut up and move along!" She yelled " incase you haven't heard this is college, not high school, take your bully antics someplace else! Or heres another option grow up!" He stared in shock at the one girl standing up for him, he was also blushing, she was pretty cute
" and who the heck are you supposed to be?" The blond guy taunted " haven't you heard the rumours?" He asks " yes I've heard the rumours! But guess what moron! They're just rumours! There's no actually proof!" She said walking past him and to musashi, much to his surprise " if there's no actually proof! Then shut up and move along! Nobody needs to hear false rumours!" She glared at him ' she's standing up...for me?'
' I had enough of this blond twit anyway, plus I couldn't recognise him from anywhere, and I talk to lots of people in the college, and I have not once seen this guy, however, I had seen musashi around a lot'
One day
Aki was walking to one of her classes, so was musashi, when they both bumped into each other, both knocking each other things out of their hands
Classic boy bump into girl XD
" oh sorry" he said then gasped when he saw it was Aki " it's...you" he says astonished as he got a closer look at her
She was wearing a pinkish purple shirt, jeans and had long purple hair, but her eyes, were like amethysts
She smiled " hi, nice seeing you again"
'After that meet, we became friends, and we even had some classes with eachother, it was nice, but then....'
She been working at an apprenticeship had finished and was a detective at time
Aki stood in shock, she saw his house on fire at a distance "musashi!" She yelled, when she got there, she saw musashi being held by police officers " let go! I had nothing to do with this!" He yelled
" we just need to ask you some questions" one of them said
" why would I kill my own parents?! What kind of psycho do you think I am?!" He yelled
"Don't make us arrest you!" The other exclaimed
"I didn't do anything damn it!" He screeched, then yelled out when suddenly flames erupted from his body, which made Aki gasp ' flames?...'
She heard a female student scream, and then " like I said, it was him" it was the same blond form the college"
Musashi collapsed on the ground " it isn't true...you have to believe me...I didn't do this..." he said weakly
"Get back! Don't come near me!" The same girl form before said
" I'm begging you just listen!" He begged
" no! Your a monster!" His eyes widened
Aki ran over
" musashi!" Aki rush over, his eyes widened, as she knees down to him, putting both hands on his shoulders " a-ki..."
" what are you going girl! Get away from him!" The blond guy form the college yelled
" shut up! Not another word form you! Just go away!" She yelled, while he cried she embraced him " I'm here. I'm not gonna leave you."
She started gathering evidence she could, trying to prove her best friend's innocence, after the fire, she investigated the burnt building, and in fact she did find something, there was an oil can, hidden in the bushes, and not to far away, a set of matches
Just before she could present her findings, someone tackled her, muffling her screams " sorry sweet cheeks, but you've become a nuisance to me, especially, when I worked so hard to get him in jail!" she recognised that voice ' it's him! The guy from college!'
What he didn't know, she was recording the whole thing, she had felt someone following her earlier, and as she suspected, the perp who framed her friend
" I really wish I could kill you but, the boss wants to meet you first, to see if your the one he's been looking for..." he then whispered " electro master..." her eyes widened
From musashi's pov
"She was all I had left, she was the only person who hadn't left me..." musashi said as he talked it Kenshiro, after he told him to tell him the full story
" honestly it was a relief, even though she promised to prove my innocence, it felt safe Locked up in that prison until she came for me...I wouldn't have anything else to loose, and no one...no one called me monster there..."
"You were Incarcerated in Germany, yes?" Kenshiro asked
"Yep, and that's where I met the man who turns me into this.."
"You mean the man with the scar on his neck" musasji freezes when hearing that
" that's right, I already explained the jest of what happened, he told me he'd find a cure for my condition, but he instead he augmented
It and turned me into a real monster...all for the sake of his research"
"So he was a scientist?" Kenshiro asked
"I think he was the head researcher, the guesses called him supervisor" musashi said
Flash back
Musashi yelled in pain, he had burned through the chains too, the flames were spreading around wildly "the specimens ability has been greatly enhanced, and he appears to be immune to damage from it, your a generous supervisor, this is a massive break through, the implications" one of his scientists say as Musashi's fire grew
Then once it was all over, he was sweating a lot gasping and panting
"You bastards...what is this...what the hell have you done to me?!" He questioned "You said you'd fix it!"
"What's the matter, I delivered on the promise,
And then some, you've been given the power to
control flame at will thanks to me" the man with the scar said
" no...you were supposed to make it go away" musashi growled
"Stop complaining will ya" he remembered that voice, and gasped " I know you! " he turned and saw elf leaning on the wall, which that rotten smirk "I'm disappointed that your failure to appreciate how special you've become, i mean you'll be scorned by all of humanity but that's cause your better than them now,And that's due to no small effort on my part" he laughed
"What did you do?" Musashi questioned
"I convinced the world that you were and arsonist, by starting fires all around you, I had to pose as student for an entire year but eventually I got everyone, but one to believe me, I'm good at building relationships and Bruin's bridges!" He cackled drops matches and then said something that really pissed him off " and we even found another worth checking out! That stupid girl that tried to protect you!"
Musahsi growled and slammed him into the wall " it was you?! You were behind this! what have you done to her?! Where's aki?!" He yelled with such fury
"Oh? Don't worry she's fine!" He smirked " and that's what I just said"
" why?! What for?!" Musashi pressed on " for our research obviously" he grinned
" research?!?"
"You both are very valuable specimens, but human experimentation is a tincy bit frowned upon throughout the international community, so~ we needed to get you out of sight somehow! Over looked you know?"
He only filled musashi's anger " we asked ourselves, who does No one care about?! And it came to us! Inmates! and it was a matter of framing people of interest and taking them from jail! Of course that girl wasn't easy to frame, so we just took her when she was alone!"
"Be quiet elf, you talk to much for your own good" the man with the scar said as musashi's collaped
"Apologise sir, I just wanted him To know his and her sacrifice for science you know" elf smirks
Just then he heard a familiar female screaming, which musashi gasped "Oh I guess they've began~"
"Aki!"
"She was super cute, but also annoying, she kept trying to prove your innocents, it also seems she's not normal either, so we had to do the same thing with research.... with her left eye, she has to be the most powerful meta human we've ever encountered! We finally found the electromaster!"
Musashi's was growling by how'd he'd make them pay, he got up, his skin turning red" every last one of you..." he growled "I'll kill you!"
He punched elf in the face and sent him flying " you killed my parents, hurt my friend, and screwed with my body!" He shouted as his flames got bigger
" I'll say we did" elf smirked surprisingly for some reason not in pain
Musashi yells out and sents a wave of fire at him, but they were swiped away to his shock,
" he cut through the flame..."
"I have your data" the mans hand was a blade, then sliced down " your useless to me now..."Musashi yelled out he scratched his eye, making it bleed
Flash back end
"All of that was true, not that I can prove it, the prison ended up burning down, there's no evidence left of what happened there, and...And that was it, I never saw her again" the memories together in college, flashed before him
"until I heard her voice in the tournament... I don't expect you to believe me..." Kenshiro hummed while looking at him as he opened his eyes, staring at him curiously
"I lost any chance for revenge but you took my flames from me...and knowing that is strangely relaxing" musashi said as he stared down at his hand, which he clenched and opened repeatedly
He looked back up at the guard "That's not to say my thirst for revenge has faded, but if I'm being honest, I kinda wish this happened sooner" he smiled, which Kenshiro gave him a look "I'm just kidding"
"I can certainly understand why you didn't expect to believe your story, it defies all logic and reason" Kenshiro says
"Well who's to say I'm not just crazy" musashi mumbled
"I am" Kenshiro countered "I've seen yours and number 15's powers with my own eyes, and Akira's too,If that parts true I'd be a fool to denie the rest" he said
"You actually believe me" musashi says in shock "This is not The first rumour I heard about inmates being used for human experiments, In fact that was the subject I was investigating back in my days with the police, when I searched for my missing friend" the guard stated
"Seriously? If that's true then why-" musahsi was cut off "Why haven't I done something about it?" Questioned eyes narrowed "Because much like you I was unable to convince anyone it was real, I summited numerous reports on my findings but the accounts I gathered were rejected" he pressed on "My superiors characterised them as baseless rumours, and the day akira was found, she was comatose, and lost her memories about her absents, Over time, I gathered this was not a subject they wanted investigated, I know a coverup when I see one, My hands were tied as a policeman so I Resigned, And continued my investigation as a correctional officer, I won't stop until Ive expose the truth" he said determined
Musashi rested his head against his hand "So your willing to go that far eh? I guess the time spent will be well worth it once you show them all you were right" he grinned
"That's not my motive" musahsi looked at him confused, I mean if he could "I won't turn an eye to want and corruption, There a few crimes worse than perverting the justice system for personal gain, And these experiments are In flagrant disregard of human rights, Such acts are grossly immoral, I swore an off to uphold the law, These repulsive criminals can not be aloud to walk free" his fist clenched tighter the more he talked about it "they must face justice!" He said gritting his teeth
"Your getting kinda intense" musashi sweat dropped "You might care about this more than I do..."
"Perhaps you should think on that fact" Kenshiro said kneeling down to his level "The earnest desire for justice is stronger than murderous intent" he then did something musahsi didn't expect, he lent him his and, through the bars "The people that did this to you and akira will be punished, I swear it" he said
"I've been hiding all of this since I got here...And there are plenty of reasons I might have to lie to you...Why take me at my word?"Musashi asked
"You could be lying, But what matters more to me is that the possibility that those criminals are out there, As long as that chance exist, I'll put everything I have to taking them down, and another reason..." he pressed on, and said something that was indeed true " you would want Aki to get the justice she deserves right? After how long she stayed by your side during that time? How she still looked for you?" He flinched, pressing his hand against his head, thinking about his burned down home, his parents, his friend ship with Aki, and how he missed her
"stole my line, but I like your take" he smirked, which Kenshiro chuckled "Ever since I was sent here, and placed under your control
I've...always wanted to say this" he put his fist on his hand "your way to serious"
But then Kenshiro ruined it "It wasn't easy, but you finally learned how to shake"
Musahsi gaped at him "Huh?!"
"Who's a good boy?" He coed
"Wait a minute! What do you mean learned to shake?!" Musashi exclaimed
"Roll over and you'll get a treat" Kenshiro continued to tease
"I am not a dog to teach tricks to!" The inmate yelled
"It was a joke" Kenshiro grumbled
"No ones laughing!" Musahsi yelled at him
'His hand..,It truly is warm' the guard thought
Meanwhile else where
Honey growled while Uno just chuckled " the hell did you call us all the way here for?" He questioned " I'll kick your a** if it's something stupid" he glared
" if I didn't know any better, I'd say your still sore about me kicking your a**" Uno smirked teasingly " shut your mouth!" Honey growled " relax bro, it was just a game, I've forgotten all about it" Uno said
" then why do you keep bringing it up!" Honey yelled
Trios Introduced himself to rock and nico "hello, my names trois, I'm the pretty one from building 3" he said
" Kay...." rock said not knowing how to reply
" I heard that trois!" Honey yelled at him
" if you boys would care to follow me, I was hoping to show off my new game room" Uno grinned pointing at himself
Honey was scratching his head in frustration, and trois, I guess he wasn't as effected as honey, he had some golden arua " why isn't it enough that you beat us! Do you have to rub it in our faces with your stupid prize!"
"It was actually all your fault that we were beaten, so he's really rubbing it in your faces" trois said
"Shut up Toris he beat you to!" Honey exclaimed
Kiji started pushing him forward "swallow your pride and have some fun, your already here so you might as well take a look." He said
" hurry you guys it's over here!" They sweatdropped at him waving from the entrance like an idiot
As soon as they entered, well.....
....
It was empty, which confused them
" I'm confused, why is there nothing in here?" Kiji asked
" what posed you to bring us to this giant empty room?" Honey asked
"Does seem rather....Spartan." Trois said.
"Well yeah I haven't finished making it yet." Uno said " obviously"
"Huh?" Honey exclaimed " why are you shouting us your game room if you haven't even put a single game in it yet?!" He asked angrily.
" calm down honey bear, I've got a perfectly good reason I promise" Uno
" do tell..." trois says with a bored expression
Uno flicks his hair and says " I want all of us inmates to make this room together!" He says arms out
"Huh?.."
" the whole point of making a game room is to have a place where everyone can get together and do stuff they enjoy together, so I wanna make sure everyone gets a say in on my we eye it up, because I'm a magnanimous victor!" Uno said, doing weird posses
" what on earth is he trying to tell us?" Honey asked while pointing at Uno being a goof " he's even more eccentric than I've gathered from our meeting in the tournament..." trois says sweat dropping while smiling
" well I guess that's Uno for ya!" Nico says cheerfully
" he is as extroverted as they come" rock comments while Jyugo stays silent
"Hey where should I put this?" Hajime walked in carrying a big package, with Yamato and seitarou
" there should work for now" seitarou said
" what about these things?" Yamato asked them " where should they go?"
" anywhere should be fine, just be careful deputy supervisor" seitarou said worried
"Damn it, why are we the ones who have to carry all this crap?" Hajime complained, hands on a comfy couch and beautiful blue wooden table in front " get up kuu" he gestured the cat on the couch to get off
" oh! Number 11! The various items you requested have all arrived!" Yamato said cheerfully
"Please let us know if anything is missing" seitarou smiled
"Yahooo! You did it! You really did it! I wanted this living room set ever scince i saw it on that in-commercial ." Uno said as he and kuu jumped on the couch.
. "There's no need to thank us, I mean all this stuff was purchased out of your wages." Seitarou said.
" they probably would have bought this stuff for him if he asked them too, he did win" rock said as he and the others felt the couch
"I don't really get why, but apparently all Uno would take for free was the empty room" Jugo said " he wanted to spend his own money on the rest"
"Guess he's broke now huh?." Rock said.
" hajime, what exactly is that inmate of yours thinking?" Kiji questioned arms crossed
" how the hell should I know..." he grumbled, just then more people entered the room " hey, is this supposed to be the new game room?" Samon asked
" uh ha" Uno nods
With the guard, is Liang, upa, Qi and inori
"Ok Upa I agreed to carried all this stuff for you right? Now what day you stop punching me in the gut while I do it?"Qi asked as Upa hit him.
"this is to punish you for complaining." Upa replied.
" why's a crummy couch and cheap table all you have in here" Samon asked with some case behind his back
" hey I'm glad Uno invited you guys" rock said as he Qi and Liang set up the table
" he said we could come and go as we like as long as we teach him mahjong, and it's kinda boring to play with the same people everyday anyway
" so where should I put this?" Liang asking holding a blue wrapped in a bag box
Nico immediately hugged ups "Master!" Nico said happily as Upa struggled in his hold " get off me"
" wow, I'm surprised you were willing to give up your mahjong table" kiji daid
"Yeah...the thing is inori was constantly playing it instead of doing his job, so I decided to get rid of it anyways." Samon said.
"Oh yeah? I think he just bought the atomic version" Hajime said. "I'll kill him." Samon growled.
" big load coming through boys!" As voice yelled, Aki quickly dodged, but sadly the others guards weren't so lucky, Mitsuru rolling in something big sending Samon, Hajime and Kiji into the wall.
" Ra-ro, is everyone okay?" Mitsuru asked
" no! No we are not!" They growled at him
"Number 11!~ i brought ya some. Goodies~" Mitsuru said, bringing out a pool table and darts, Honey Toris and all gasped with stars in our eyes.
"Your my hero! Thanks Mitsuru!" Uno cried happily running to him.
Mitsuru picked him up and started spinning around " yeah! Anything for a New Years tournament champion!"
" I never thought they'd ever let us play darts in the prison.." honey said speechless but happy
" I missed you so much..." followed by trois, who was holding a pool stick
"Damn it all!" Hajime growled clenching his fist " why did he bring that crap?!" While setaitou and Aki sweatdropped at his raging anger
" he told me they were gifts from a friend, but he didn't have room for them" he squeaked
What the hell fo those idiots think this place is supposed to be?!" Hajime exclaimed.
"This is our house!" Uno and Mitsuru said smiling at Hajime while giving him a thumbs up.
"Oh sure it is until you have to do work then!" Hajime muttered angrily punching the wall.
"Um supervisor I brought you your stomach medicine." Seitarou said rubbing Uncle Hajime's back with water and medicine in his hand
While kiji and Samon sweat dropped, Kiji said. "I actually feel sorry for him." .
Trois hits the white ball with the poll and it hits the yellow ball into the hole " that's pretty impressive trois" Aki commented
" are you referring to my skill at pool, my face or both miss Aki" he flirts, which she sends a scowl look " hey there mr Handsome I want to be good at pool too can you teach me?" Nico asked
"normally I'd say no, but I feel that it's my duty to reward you for your incredible honesty." Toris said.
"Egotistic.' Aki thought
"I hate to admit it, but this games kinda difficult." Uno said as he played darts with Honey.
" your card tricks won't work here, this is a game of pure skill and before I got locked up ,I even beat pros" Honey bragged while Uno noticed a certai. Someone enter
" musashi!"
" are you even listening to me?!" Honey exclaimed
And there the guy stood, hand raised to wave " Um. Hi..." he said
"You sure took your time getting here" Uno commented
" uh, yeah..there was this thing I had to take care of first" he said, for some reason nervous
" I went out of my way to bring you here, why don't you look happy?" Kenshiro questioned " I haven't been to a party since college, so...this I kinda-" " do as you wish" Kenshiro cut his explanation off and walked over to the other guards
" that inmate was being kept underground, surprise Kenshiro let him out" Samon muttered
" though I suspected he was made to work for the privilege" kiji said as the guard sat next to him on his right
" it was musashi right?" Honey asked " we competed against you and that handsome, but not quite as handsome as me dog guard in the tournament" he said
Both him and Uno tilted their heads in co fusion " it would seem like he has forgotten you" trois says " what?!" Honey exclaimed " how could anyone forget such a breathtakingly gorgeous face as mine! It's impossible! Unthinkable!"
" he's completely delusional, but if you use my face instead then the argument stands" trois says as they both posed " narcissistic prick!" Honey growled
The two other inmates sweatdropped
"Look at them go
Il reintroduce myself just this once for you, so take care to remember, I'm inmate number 82, My real name is honey, I'm considered the best looking guy in this prison" he said
Then was trois next, and.....boy!
" I'm inmate number 3, my real name is trois, and I'm considered the best looking guy in this prison" he said while honey was glaring at him in the background, with his fist raised
" times like this...I'm glad I'm blind" musashi muttered to himself
It was only a couple minutes until Seitarou announced, "Excuse me everyone. sorry to interrupt, but..."
"Back to your cells. Right now," Hajime finished sternly.
"What?! No one has even finished a single game. You've got to give us some more time, okay?"
"You're free time for the day is over. And you spent every bit of it."
"How much time are you gonna make me spend my time back at the cell?! That's not fair!"
"You can have one hour here per day."
" THATS NOTHING!!!!" The inmates yelled at him
" what are you a moron!!?!" Uno yelled, while the others argued, it only fuelled hajimes anger, and start beating them up " you little sh*t's!!"
By the end of it all, every inmate had a bump on their heads
That night
While jyugo was looking at world beyond, a voice said, "You staying up tonight?" He turn to see Uno, with his long braid out. He continued,
"You might regret it tomorrow. But hey, it's your call. After everything that happened lately, I thought we would all be tired."
"Heh, it's because all that stuff that I can't sleep. My mind just keeps racing, keeping up with all these different moments...I'll sort through one funny thing, then remember something else. Had trouble sleeping before, but never because something fun has happened. I like this feeling, but I don't know if I really deserve it." Jyugo muttered
"Maybe you don't deserve it...," Uno agreed, "You are a real gloomy Gus."
Hit!
Uno added, "Oh and you're also pretty indecisive,
Hit!
super pessimistic,
Hit!
really dull,
Hit!
your handwriting is bad,
Hit!
you're a slow learner,
Hit!
highly insensitive,
Hit!
physically weak,
Hit!
a slow runner,
Hit!
poor talker,
Hit!
especially at lying.
Hit!
All you're ever decent at is breaking out of jail..." Uno listed, a small whimper escaped Jyugo lips
Hit!
"plus you have stubby legs." Uno finished
" you didn't have to go that far..." Jyugo whimpered, knees in his chest
"But, that incredibly long list of flaws you've got going is part of what makes your relatable character, Jyugo. You have a lot to work on, so do the rest of us. And it's okay that you're a slow learner, we're all really good teachers. We want to teach you how to let life be fun Jyugo. Look man, the point is, it doesn't really matter if we're in jail, or in hell. If we live happily, we win. So take it slow. Enjoy life day by day."
. Jyugo gets up and tells him, "I'm gonna go outside for a bit."
"Just don't get caught."
Uno watched him walk out of the cell door and close it. He took a sigh and said to myself, "Going out when he wants cry...that's also part of his character..."
He then remembered the time he and Jyugo first broke out of jail together
On the roof
'I never knew the night sky could get this bright...' Jyugo thought looking out at the sky 'If we live happily, we win...' he thought smiling, "For the first time, I'm looking forward to tomorrow.' A smile came to his face
Suddenly he felt a hand grab his shoulder, his eyes widened and he heard a sinister voice said to his ear, "now what the heck are you smiling about buddy? If you've gotta good joke then share it huh? Talk to me Jyugo?"
With Aki
Aki was going about her patrol, and she felt a disturbance in the air, she immediately went to cell 13, and saw Jyugo not there " damn it Jyugo..." she grumbled, she checked the security cameras to see where he went and eventually saw the video of him going to the roof, she went to the roof and just before she called out to him, she gasped at who she saw behind him ' no...not him!'
And hid in the darkness ' anyone but him!'
