Qi replaced the bloody bandages around nico with fresh clear ones " there you go" he says after tightening the one around his arm " yay! I'm like a fresh mummy! Thanks grandpa!"

Qi sweat dropped with a sheepish smile " rlly? That kinda talks gonna give me a complex"

" I think I wanna call you old man Qi!" Nico chimed waving his arms

" okay...as long a you feel better"  the man sighed knowing he probably won't get him to stop

Meanwhile upa was pondering about something " what's wrong?" Liang

" I'm not" upa said " I noticed something strange about the attack charm used on rokuriki, I'm thinking it didn't come from enki" he looked at his hand "When I destroyed the charm During the Fight it's chi flow felt unfamiliar to me, No idea where it came from"

"It's in our best interest to find out who's been using it against us" Liang suggested

"Hmm, yes that's true" upa agreed " but where do we start"

Liang held up rokuriki supporting him while upa smacked him on both sides of his face
To wake him up "Alright you've had plenty of time to collect yourself, Rise and shine!We have some questions for you! get up!"

"Will you lay off! The man is injured" Qi yelled sweat dropping

Time skip

Qi lifted the man up, one arm over his shoulder " upsie daisy" he manages to lifted him up

"Thinking back, doesn't rokuriki have yoriki and Kokoriki with him?" Liang asked

"It's been a good while since I've seen those two" Qi says " they could be anywhere, let's keep our eyes peeled and get outta here" he said

" we can't" Liang says " upa and I blocked the main entrance to the underground cells"

" there are people down there you know" Qi narrowed his eyes " lucky for us there's a another way in,  I know about a hidden passage close by" he start moving while carrying the unconscious guard

"Hey master?...." Nico started a conversation " what do you want?" Upa questioned " there will be others like mr pig right?" Nico asked " I'm a little worried that some of the escaped convicts might be more dangerous than he was...eh...it might be a rumour, but I heard that enki person killed someone..." he clenched his hands together " I know your all string fighters but...I have to admit I'm starting to feel really scared....I just want you to be safe....master"

" it wouldn't be wise of us to rush into battle now" ups stated " but I plan to defend this prison with my life"

" huh?...."Nico looked at him surprised

" we're going to care for building 5 until Samon's return, and aki's....funny how essential we were to hachiman's success, after we betrayed him, and Aki took him down, the origination fell apart, we were all sent to a prison in Shisen"

Flash back

He was in a prison uniform, standing in his cell" what's this?" Upa asked holding the present in his hands, with a strange ornament attached to it

'When I met him...and received what I did from her...everything changed...'

" you got a gift" Samon answered

"There's no way..." upa said with no emotion " who's it from?" He asked

"Your family wanted you to have it" Samon replied, making his eyes widened " but how?...." he rushes to the cell bars " they think I'm dead!...how would they know I'm here?!..." he asked

"My friend and I figured there wasn't a reason to keep your current whereabouts secret, your alive and they deserve to know the truth, by the way, that little ornament attached to the gift is from her...the one who took down your boss" he gasped when hearing about the person who defeated his boss " she said something about " keep that on your at all times, it's my good luck charm, one day itll be of great use to you, and finished with hang in there" He starts walking away "Stay out of trouble would ya"

Leaving the boy still in shock

Flash back end

Upa smiled at the memory " I had nothing to offer, but gained my respect, and a lot to me, when someone helps you, you want to be there for them". He then turned to Nico " I'm sure you understand"

Nico remembered the day Jyugo came and set him free

"Your right!" He smiled ' one someone helps you, you wanna be there for them, when I look at it like that, all the fear just fades away...'

Back in the infirmary

" tsukamo remained lying on the bed staring up at the ceiling ' it's been quite a while now....I hope Jyugo and the guys are alright' he then sat up 'what happened to rock and yamato?...they seemed fine that afternoon.'

Flash back 

He was running the track when he heard rock call out " tsukamo!" And turns to see rock waving with yamato smiling " why don't you come in with us and take a break! There's a snack with your name on it!"

" no thank you!" Tsukamo thanked " there's still somethings I want to learn from Liang"

"Sounds good, still gonna save some for ya!"

" we'll return soon, this really shouldn't taken long!" Yamato adds

As they start walking away, tsukamo removed his mask

Flash back end

' they were acting normally at that point' he noted ' I wonder if that new guard is involved somehow...' he wondered ' no....I'm over thinking this'

Just then he was brought out of his thoughts by someone groaning " why do I have to stay at her bedside?! I've got things to do!" The person whined

"It can't be helped, you brought her here, so you take care of you" he heard otogi voice " I'm short staffed" he moved his curtain " she was awake atleast, maybe you can talk about what happened"
Behind the other curtain was doctor otogi and....the stupid cat guard " do. Rush ally take in civilians, but this was an emergency, thanks for the extra work,  good thing I have a deputy supervisor here who can keep an eye on my new patient, let me know if her condition changes" he says before walking away

" whatever you say doc, guess my real responsibility have to wait, I mean it's not like she's going anywhere"

he shrugs " okay fine, nothings happening around here so might as well baby sit"

He then got up and looked at the woman asleep " kind of sad, why would a weak person like big sis noriko be allowed here, she can't see enki right, I wonder why she'd make the trip" he then raised one of his fingers to his lip  " Wait a second maybe she doesn't know"

With the others

Uno tried to go back up for Nico but Honey, and Trois tried to getting him to go back down the stairs

"Be reasonable!" Honey shouts while grabbing Uno's jacket that is tied around his waist.

"Let me go! I won't leave Nico behind!" Uno shouts while still struggling against the two while Jyugo is not even putting up a fight.  "Forget him! He was a straggler!" Honey shouts once more.

" he needs his medicine!" Uno shouts at all of us.  "I'm sure he does, but we risked our lives getting here!" Honey shouts in frustration.  "Honey's right. We're better off staying where we are." Trois tries to reason with Uno.  "Fine then, you can stay. But count me out." Uno shouts at Trois with annoyance.

  "Listen, if your friend really is up there, then we won't be able to get to him regardless. Don't forget that Liang and upa destroyed the entrance ." Honey growls in frustration

and if he's joined up with them then He's be safe, I'm sure he'll be cared for, why don't we just have faith in that?" Trois tries to negotiate. 

"Don't care. Back off." Uno growls.  "Talk some sense into your friend." Honey says, his words more directed at Jyugo

"I can't." Jyugo says disappointingly.

Honey growled, just then there was rumbling " hmm?"

"Um, anyone else hear that?" Honey ask scared.  "Yeah...."Uno says scared. Not even a moment after he says that, both Honey and Trois scream their heads off.

In only a matter of seconds all three of us turn our heads to the source to see a giant wave coming our way. "WHAT THE HELL?!?!"  Uno and Jyugo shout as the wave hit

The one thing that could be seen was Jyugo's hand before everything faded

Time skip

After that strange flood and the water draining out, uno and the other two sat down on the floor to catch their breath.  

"I'm soggy ," Honey groaned

" we must have triggered one of the traps" Trois said.  

"Heat gave it away?" Honey says sarcastically and annoyed

" damn what a pain in the ass," Uno sighed

"Hey Jyugo, your okay right? Jyugo?"  

  He turn to look and found Jyugo lying on the floor, drowned and nearly dead, In panic he screamed, "OH MY GOD!NO!!!"    

"What the?! How could he drowned that quickly!? It doesn't make sense!" 

"How is someone so helpless able to get us  out of our cells? He can't even swim!" Trois says

"Shut up and give him CPR or something!" Uno exclaimed

"No, you should be the one to do it. You're his friend." Honey stated

"I can't do that! You know we have to sleep in the same cell" Uno argued

"stop wasting time. We'll have to do Rock Paper Scissors" trois says

" ready....rock paper scissors!!" Uno and trois had scissors while honey had paper, he groaned when he lost and kneeled down, Before he began CPR, he said, "I lost, but what's the point? I'm sure he's dead by now!"    

"PUCKER UP AND GET IT DONE MAN!" Uno growled at him

Honey leaned down slowly, eye twitching and heart pounding, he wanted to save his first kiss For a certain girl

Please stand by
Brought to you by seitarou in a flowery field and Aki pouting

Jyugo was back up  "Why...am I tasting...perfume?" was the first thing he said after breathing in and out a couple of times.

"You're paying for my therapy heathen" honey spatted out.

Trois looks at the wall, which had something written on it

Gogyousan
Underground level 2

" it appears is through that wave washed us into the underground second level, I wish we knew what was coming next" trois noted, then Touched the wall

" the building seems to be layed out just as Liang said it would be, but I feel like it's too quiet" trois said " I wonder why we haven't come across any of those dolls yet"  he then gasped when noticing something

And starts walking while still touching the wall " trois why are you hugging the wall?" Honey asked " do you think you'll find something?"

Trois turned in his direction " yes, I don't know just call it a hunch" he says then continued till he felt something " this is it, I wanted to see it for myself"

Trois turns to Jyugo and asked, "Jyugo, would you mind open this door for me?" He says pulling said boy to the door

They walked into the room, which was pitch black

" where the hell are we?" Uno wondered

" I can't see anything" honey says

" wait a moment, I'll get the lights" Trois went to find the light switch and when he did,

" huh?" Uno turned and the first thing He sees is a creepy security doll right next to him, Before he does his signature girl-scream, Jyugo and Honey covers his mouth to shut him up.              
"Do you want them to wake up! Stop screaming!" Honey whispered angrily.

Uno pushes Honey out and yells, "what's wrong with you?! Do you want these things to rip us apart?!"              

"I believe this room is used to store and maintain these dolls, let's take a look around." Trois said

" does this place turn you on or something you Sadis let me out!" Uno wailed

" if we figure out their internal structure, we might could come up with a way to beat them" trois explains and walks up to one on a box along with others, he starts digging his hands inside " seems like insert various weapons, It's quite impressive, the body was made not unlike our own, it's comprised of materials similar to skin and veins, though this one is decomposing a bit " Uno gags walking somewhere as Trois marveled at the doll.

He opened the inside, seeing something inside " my goodness, I won't be getting into that, not without tools, admittedly it's a brilliant design"

Honey walked up behind him and said, "reviting. Now that you know the color of its inners are you done? Stop playing with dolls and help me find kiji"

"Forgive me a little longer..." trois says, then pulled something out of the Torso    " my my what an interesting discovery~" he laughs

"That's enough, he acts the same whether it's woman or machine," honey exclaimed his cell mates weird behaviour.        

"I think trois need to find a new hobby" Uno suggested " let's give him some privacy as see ourselves out"        

Honey turns to glare at Jyugo looking at the dolls. "Why are you just standing there? Well you are the only one who can open the lock."       

" yeah...R-right..." 

The group walked out of the room and down the hallway

" the silence makes me nervous, I wonder why we haven't been caught," Honey said.               

"Dont question it," Uno suggested  "Maybe they have better things to do than follow us around, or their security sucks"

" if your right we may have the run of this building" honey says

" hey, who are we to complain about an easy job?" Uno shrugged

As we walk down, Honey eyed Jyugo walking behind them slowly and he asked, "tell me, just how long have you known that friend of yours?"     

     "Who? You mean Jyugo?" Uno asked " well we've ended up in the same prison more than once, got into the habit of escaping together to, we've been buddies for pretty good while now" Uno said with his arms behind his neck " he's took quiet, I can't ever tell what he's thinking, although I suspect that he's simply dimwitted"  honey says while Jyugo walks with his hand pressed against the wall

" he's not a big talker, hell I've never been able to tell what's on his mind, I guess I just got used to it" Uno explains " once you understand the kind of person he is those things don't matter"

"Is that so?" Honey asks

"And besides, I think someone takes a little  getting to know is way more fun than a person you can read like a book" he says while honey eyes him as they walk " once. You've spent more time with Jyugo, I think you might like him"

Honey scoffs " I doubt it.."

Just then they hear the sound of someone's heels, that then come to a halt " I thought I might hear the pitter patter of other vermin, and here I find the rats"

They gasp when they saw him

"I don't know how you lot escaped from your cells." Ruka said walking out of the shadows, towards Uno and Honey.

"But you've certainly caught my attention. I'll punish you with vigor." He said seductively.

"We're being hunted by a drag queen!" Uno and Honey shouted, crying anime tears.    "We are weary travelers please have mercy!" Honey begged.

   "Stop your crying!" Ruka exsclamed.    "I wanna pet Nico! everything so hard?!" Uno cried. 

  "He's to fabulous." Honey whimpered. "It's to much I'm over it." Uno cried.   

"Stop that sniveling and fight me!" Ruka said.  

"We are going to be captured. Why are you being so loud?" Trois asked as he and entered the scene.

    "Yoohoo." Ruka said blowing a kiss to Toris. "Parden me but I'm afraid we already have a queer, and I already have a girlfriend." Trois said as he backed away raising his hands up

   "I assure you that you don't!/ aki's not your girlfriend!" The inmates exclaimed in unison while ruka complained about the queer part

"Bad! How dare you lump me in with that big bird in flush?!" Ruka exsclamed a little bubble with Kiji's head appearing next to him. 

  "So he's a man that puts on makeup and I am a fabulous beautiful queen! Do you see the difference?!" He exsclamed.   

Honey and Toris looked at him confused. "That's kind of like comparing spotted
garden eals to slended garden eals." Uno said.

   "No one compares eals. Try like Somen
and mirozoba."
jyugo said

    "A better one would be comparing Santa claus to father Christmas. Clearly one in the same." Honey said a mini American flag next him showing his ethnicity. 

  "Oh I see a lover's kiss vs a French kiss." Toris said French flag next to him.   

"Yeah but I think it's more like chips and

"I'm gonna stick with noodles." Jyugo said, Japanese flag next to him.

"Oh alright it seems that I'm no more than a joke to you boys. We'll see how long that lasts." Ruka said angrily.   

"We're sorry we made you mad!"  the boys said fearfully.

"Oh we're well past apologies I have had enough of your shit!" Ruka said.

Suddenly, two famIliar individuals stepped forward, who turned out to be youriki and kokoriki, who also had the same talismans as rokuriki " oh look, he bought us a couple of creepy guards with talismans over their faces" Uno says

" how sweet, and they're attack charms at that, so kind of him" honey said sarcastically " you know what" he narrowed his eyes as the two got ready to fight " we should be running!" They turn to run

" yep! Right behind ya!" Uno agrees

" you'd better hurry!~go now! Fetch them boys!" Ruka ordered the two guards 

The two guards were gaining on them, plus Jyugo was falling behind " move your sweet ass!" Uno grabbed him "Do the charms things  give them super powers or something why are they so freakin' fast?!" Uno exclaimed

" oh please, you shouldn't underestimate the guards at any building, stop being bad sports about it and give in" ruka said bluntly

Just then there was a loud bang against metal " I can hear you out there ruka!" A voice yelled which belonged to kiji

Who was holding onto the bars in anger " I've had just about enough of you! Let me out!" He yelled " face me like a man!"

Said person walked up to the guards cell in annoyance " will you shut up?" He places both hands on his hips " stop your screeching, your a captive" The guard

" like hell?!" Kiji exclaimed " my beautiful body doesn't belong in a prison! When I get out of here I'm gonna shove a hook down your kappa throat!" He growled

"I'm sure" ruka says mockingly " careful birdy , I'm starting to see frown lines in your war paint" he smirked

" then I'll patch it up!" Kiji replied " return my makeup kit so I'll have my dignity!"

Ruka giggles to himself " as if, you won't have anyone to impress while your here"

" when are you going to release me?" Kiji asked angrily

"Oh not until all that clown make up flakes  of" ruka grinned

"Why are you being so cruel to me?! The least you can do is hand me a mirror!!" Kiji yelled

With the boys

They were still running from the talisman controlled guards, the tall one swings his staffs which almost hit Jyugo " you alright!?" Uno asked " come on Jyugo! This isn't the time to fall behind!"

" if you don't want to die then you have to run you idiot!" Honey yelled

Kiji

" tell me about the screams I heard, for your sake I hope they weren't from any of the inmates" he glared coldly " oh my, I suppose nothing gets past you, I'll believe some inmates were from your building" ruka says

" what? Your certain?!"

"It's adorable how they'll run for their pitiful lives, came to me like lambs to the slaughter while they were looking for you" ruka laughed

Kiji's eyes darker " hey ruka...I have one question"

" oh yeah?"

" those inmates of mine, were they exceptionally handsome?" Kiji asked

" yes, they were delectable twinks" ruka said not knowing where he was going with this

' I won't stand by while my precious inmates fall into danger!' The guard  thought " ruka, I'll give you a nice present if you release me from this cell" he said with a forced smile

" what present?" Ruka questioned

" I have in my possession a custom made toner that will obliterate any wrinkles, it's a miracle in a bottle" his face becomes serious " this stuff, is a hundred percent hylorolic acid formula!"

Ruka gasped backing up "...one hundred percent?...it can't be true..something that strong is basically a liquid concentrate,....the audacity to call that a toner you fool..." he said covering his mouth

"Fool? my face is  more than an testimate to its power, darling you better take better care of your skin or you'll regret it" kiji smirked

' he's right!.... that damn imprisoned  weathered out crone!....it reek havoc on my completion!'

" so?~"

'I want that hylorolic acid!'

Kiji points at him " if you accept my offer, I'll even throw in my sunscreen cream, it's spf 600!"

Which ruka gasped " spf 600?!....with that I could finally achieve a Suddle yet summer radiance!"

Kiji chuckled' bend to my beautiful wimps'

Ruka clenched his fist ' I yield v shield of such calibre, My Porcelain skin could be safe!'

" I'll give you both!" Kiji says shrugging " my treat~"

' there's no way I can betray enki' ruka says grabbing his head ' but... I need that hylorolic acid formula...I'm lost what should I do?!'

Back to the others

Still running from the guards " where are we anyway?" Honey asked turning to Uno " no clue! Not like we can ask for directions! Need to figure out a way to the third underground level!"

Meanwhile Jyugo was struggling " if you want to look around be my guest! We'll be killed the second we stop running!"
Horny claimed

" no duh! Figure out a way means trying to come up with some kind of plan!" Uno yelled

" then think of something you idiot!" Honey yelled

" why don't you shut up and help jackass!"

" pardon me boys" trois said walking in front of them form up ahead " could you step aside please" with something In his hand....holding what seemed like... a bazooka?!

They flinched as, He shot towards their direction, making them yell out and dodged the missile, barely

. But unfortunately, the blast still blew them away. "Not to bad for a makeshift weapon." Trois smiled, infuriating the boys.

"Damn it trois what the hell?!?!" Honey yelled

" you nearly killed us!" Uno yelled

"Maybe, but you looked so marvellous as you were blown away, a flock of swans rising from a lake~!"

" shut up!" Jyugo yelled

.  "Where'd you find they thing?!" Uno exclaimed, pointing at Trois's weapon " I never saw it!"

" oh you couldn't have, I built it from dismantled parts and scraps. You can find all sorts of goodies if you look." Trois explained

" Uh...did you make it from that doll?" Uno asked " and here I thought you needed some kind of special tool to build things like that"

"That's correct" trois said " this one." Trois took out the same odd-looking tool and showed them.

" Kay...where'd you get that?" Uno asked

" I found it on the first level when we were sneezing around, I was curious about its odd shape so I decided to take it, I'm glad I did cause it got us out of this pickle"
He then turned to Jyugo " and it's all thanks to the person who was dumb enough to leave everything in that office unlocked"

'I guess that would be me...' Jyugo thought ' I opened the draws too'

" all I needed was a little time, aww, it's been such a long while since Ive been able to pull of something like this!" Trois exclaimed wholeheartedly.

" well what do you know..." honey says, with a nod look like Uno " his odd obsession paid of for us in the end"

" your right, guess I feel bad about judging him now"

" I stall, so it's not my proudest moment" trois says while screwing some nuts on a....flamethrower?!??..................."Drastic circumstances calls for drastic measures, can it be our secret? don't tell kiji"  He hummed getting ready to fire

"Oh no! We have to get away from here right now!" Honey exclaimed

" he won't point that thing at us!" Uno said with a scared smile " he's gonna shoot the bad guys!"

"This is a bud primitive, but I assure
You it'll get the job done!~"After a cynical smirk and giggle, he shoots a large fire into the hallway, laughing while others stare in shock"That was so cool!!!!!"

Time skip

" I had no idea trois was a lunatic...

I figured he was key a perverted laundry thief or something." Uno sighed out, with while everyone, except for Trois, sitting on the ground. 

" he's more than that, he escaped his previous prisons in the same way, time after time, that's why he ended up shipped  to nanba, don't get me wrong he wanted to surprise our foes, but no matter how you look at it, that was overkill." Honey explained, also sighing

There was a dripping sound

Uno gets up " ready to get out of here? Might be the only chance we have"

" yes let's go" honey agreed

Everyone started walking forwards, but Jyugo seemed to notice .  "Jyugo, what are you standing around for?" Meanwhile ah hand reaches up from under the ground "You're the only one who can unlock the doors!" Uno exclaimed and Jyugo faced back  and continued walking.

" Uh yeah!"

' ah, so he's their key' the figure rises, Just then a hand reached out

"The hell?! Let me go!"

The guys stop when they hear Jyugo
Yell and we snapped back to look.
Ruka grabbed a hold of Jyugo by the hair and arms!  " don't run off without your friend~he's having trouble keeping up" he smirked

Meanwhile someone in the shadows gasps ' no!'

"There's no point in going down any further" He said as he tightens his grip on Jyugo's arms " do you have a plan? Not that I actually give a damn about what goes through the mind of you inmates

The figure hiding after hearing and seeing Jyugo cringe at the pain grit their teeth

" Jyugo!" Uno yelled " but when I uncover people's little secrets it's always a lot of fun" the kappa smirked "spill it, you can't get far without this guy can you? I know this man is the key to the world? You mind as well turn yourself in now" this whole time honey had his eyes narrowed

'Can't say I'm surprised of course he'd caught!' Honey clenched his hand 'He's been dragging his feet This whole time
This weak....idiot pisses me off!'

" well, what are you kids trying to do down here?" The kappa questioned "If you don't start talking soon I'll get board and slit his throat"

'I hate it! Why is he so useless!?' Honey grit his teeth

"Yeah the last time I checked you guards weren't aloud to murder people!" Uno glared

"That rule hasn't changed" ruka says "but unfortunately I am no longer a guard here, And I follow enki's lead in all things, So if he kills then I kill too, Simple as that" he smirked

"Of sure" a familiar voice said from behind him said " is that right...ruka?" Their voice growled

making him froze and the guys gasp " no way....you?!" He gasped, Aki stood behind him with a smirk on her face, with a half opened eye and the other opened full

" how'd you get down here-" she punched him super hard in the head " that's what you get you kappa bitch!" She yelled in anger while Jyugo gaped

" my head!" Ruka wailed wide eyed

Aki Then grabbed jyugo's wrist " run for it!" And starts running with the guys

" Aki never in my life have I been so glad to see your beautiful face!" Uno crying

" stop crying and run!" She yelled

Ruka was lying in the water, bubbling with a bruise mark on his head

The group ran around a course and stopped, catching their breath " Jyugo you okay?" Uno Asked

" Uh yeah..." he sighed

"Alright and now that's settled" Aki looked at him confused until she was engulfed in a strong hug, her face turning red gaping " Aki I missed you!!" He wailed

" let go! Nows not time!" She exclaimed trying to get out of his grip " no!"

"We've shaken them off our trail for the time being and found Aki, but we should get to the next floor as soon as we can" trois says while in the background Aki was trying to get out of uno's arms

"Wait..." honey says stopping everyone and gaining their attention "This ones a liability to the group, we shouldn't bring him with us"

Their eyes widened, but mainly Jyugo himself
