[i]They had arrested him as he was making a rendezvous with the rebel groups he was preparing for the uprising, but that wasn't enough to prevent his subordinates from wrenching Japan free from the grasp of OPHFST. This had forced his captors to transfer him out of the country, to the artificial isle of Eden, OPHFST's HQ and the site of its horrific prison facilities. There, they had stripped him 'for interrogation', before sending him to the presence of the leader of the organization, Alistair Betelgeuse. If not for the fact that his sleep had been dreamless, Kira would have taken that opportunity to kill the enemy leader right then and there. But alas, he was weaponless, weaponless and exposed as Alistair narrated his plans for using Empowered abilities to dissolve humanity's souls and bodies into one being, one mass. Once he'd heard enough, Kira would have opted for torture and death rather than give Alistair whatever he wanted...then, he vanished.[/i] [b][i]Present Day[/i][/b] "Gods?" Kira Tachibana said as he put on the swimming trunks given him. He would then gaze at the jester, then the 14-year old who seemed to be in the same situation as he was, before saying, "We've been mysteriously transported from 2027 Japan into an area where the tech used is more primitive - I mean, fossil-fuel jetskis? That and the fact that in my Japan, OPHFST has been restricting vacation privileges for common workers and even the diminishing middle class, meaning that a throng such as this is literally anachronistic." He would then look at Rika, saying: "Hey, kid, are you an Empowered?" [i]Or, if Court Jester was right and we're in a Multiversal adventure, an Empowered [b]analogue[/b].[/i] "Don't worry," Kira gave a smile as he stepped a few feet away to give the kid some space, "I won't bite."
