Chapter 1 Part 11
After a while, the numbers finally started to diminish, then...
???: Meeow? I thought I could go home already, but it appears you're having trouble.
King What...? Who said that! Where are you?!
Joker: Well, this simply will not do at all. It would seem dear Janga failed as well. Much stiffer resistancethan I expected.
King: W-what the hell?! A round... clown?
Wonder Momo: An enemy? It's kinda cute, but...
Joker: Ah, you must be the "sacrifice". I am most grateful for your praise. Where are my manners? Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Joker. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Berabou Man: "Sacrifice"? So, you're after her too?
Joker: Yes, the adorable young lady in the helmet. If you do the favor of handing me her over to me, we will be on our way at once. Well, I've been given the job of gathering pure girls with strong souls, you see.
Karin: (Thata cat was after me an Kasugano as well...)
Kael: (Souls huh? They must be the culprits.)
Barry: Tell me! Are you responsable for this?
Joker: Those who are not involved must stay with their mouth shuts... Besides, there seems to be many potential sacrifices in here.
Fael: Nobody here is getting sacrificed.
Joker: Well, Mr. Hero is a brave one it seems!
Amano: Not just him, everyone are fighting to end this nonsense.
Joker: Good to see some energetic people in here, don't worry, i'll make sure to prove how futile your efforts will be.
Suddenly, the number of monsters increases again.
Etomo: Why this keeps happening?
Joker: Now, let's start the banquet!
???:
Wait!Joker: Huh?
Amazona: Who's there? Show yourself?
Music -
Trembling city of Arisu Then,
many gunshot sounds were heard, destroying many monsters, it was Reiji's group.
Joker: You...who are you?
Reiji: You don't deserve to hear my name.
Xiaomu: Careful, Reiji. That thing looks like a real joker, but it's actually a pretty high level monster.
Karin: (That red jacket... where have I seen it before?)
Barry: Reiji Arisu from Shinra, we finally...Wait, we meet again.
Reiji: I would like to sit and chat, but there's no time for it.
Hugh: (Man, Reiji really looks like a man now.)
Marie: (He sure changed a lot...except for his fierce look.)
Xiaomu: So many familiar faces in here. People who i met as cute kids have grown up to fine cute kids.
Jasper: We still didn't pass the kid phase?
Reiji: (I'm not surprised that civilians are involved, i mean, Hugh and Marie are here as well...) Alright, everyone who can fight, do not hold back!
Joker: I was thinking you all would forget about me. I hate to interrupt this fascinating conversation, but i have a schedule!
Reiji: How felicitous. Unfortunately, we've got loose ends to tie up here too. I won't sweat it if you don't.
Reiji: Miss Uzuki, is it okay if you go and help the others clear the monsters?
Shion: I'm fine with it.
Reiji: Me and Xiaomu we'll take care of this clown. Sometimes, the best solution is to go after the leaders head.
Music -
The Beckoned Stranger The fight raged on, Wonder Momo decided to face Amazona head on.
Amazona: Kanda Momo, you won't escape our grasp.
Wonder Momo: Amazona...why?
Berabou Man: Calm down, as long as she is possesed, she's not the one you once knew.
Wonder Momo: Then...what should i do?
Etomo: You should fight of course! For both ours and her sake! There's always a way around everything.
Wonder Momo: ...Alright, i'll make you wake up Amazona!
Etomo: Of course, we'll support.
Amazona was slashing at Momo and Etomo, who were dodging the attacks, but they couldn't find any opening.
Wonder Momo: Urgh... (She really is like a diferent person...)
Etomo: Alright Momo, i'll break through her defense, the moment that happens, you attack with the best kick you got.
Wonder Momo: Oh...O-Okay...
Amazona: It's futile.
Etomo: Then try this!
Suddenly, Etomo started to pummel Amazona with rapid-fire punches.
Amazona: What?
She could only block the attacks, but they proved to be too fast for her, then, she got hit by one of then and backed off a bit.
Wonder Momo: Sorry Amazona!
She used her Wonder Kick and sucesfully landed a hit, sending Amazona away.
Meanwhile, Reiji and Xiaomu were fighting Joker, dodging his floating punches.
Joker: Would you stay still please? *dodges a shot*
Xiaomu: We can't do that! *dodges a punch*
Reiji: Besides, we don't do favors for the enemies.
Reiji quickly closed in, and did rapid-fire slashes with Chirai, followed with powerful thunder slashes from the same blade.
Joker: This simply won't do!, it seems there's troublesome foes in here.
Fael: Told you nobody would get sacrificed.
Joker: You just got lucky because you have a strong army. What would happen if you somehow...get separated.
Barry: What?
Joker: Oops, i guess that was supposed to be a surprise. Nevermind, we shall meet again!
Joker vanished, together with Amazona.
KOS-MOS: Shall I pursue? My maneuverability would allow me to keep up.
Reiji: No, don't bother. Too many things are going wrong at once. Without proper backup, we'll never keep up with everything at the same time. Our only choice for now is to hurry to HQ.
M.O.M.O. : Combat... complete. No sign of further combat anywhere near.
Shion: Thank you, M.O.M.O. Mr. Arisu, what now?
Reiji: We'll continue to the Mishima Conglomerate Building. We'll leave this mess to "HQ"...
Jin: (This Mishima Building...finally...)
Reiji: Oh, right. Barry, have you noticed that the airwaves are busted?
Barry: Yes, Communication devices seems to be not working.
Mio: It's even hard for me to contact our base.
Jasper: Maybe we should send Akano to get help.
Akano: That seems like a good idea, we from the intelligence have many means to spread info, i'll make sure Shinra gets the memo too. Besides, i can take Nelia as far away as possible from all this mess.
Reiji: You do that.
Akano: Anyway, you coming Amano?
Amano: Um...I guess i'll stick with them. I can't exactly turn a blind eye on this situation.
Fael: ...
Akano: Alright, your call then.
Hugh: So um...who is this man again?
Etomo: Oh, he is Berabou Man...or rather, Nakamura Hitoshi." Insurance company salaryman. He transformed in front of me when we noticed something wrong within the theather, and since we were already inside, we decided to help out.
Felicia: He's S-so... ordinary. Kinda dull.
King: Felicia, that's rude.
M.O.M.O.: But he seems like a very good person.
Nakamura: Oh my, now you're making me blush.
Reiji: Changing subjects, it seems they were after Kanda Momo right?
Nakamura: Exactly.
Xiaomu: So this "sleeping sickness" turns out to be that soul extraction.
Kael: That is pretty much confirmed by now. Karin and Sakura and a school were also attacked.
Reiji: ...Just what the hell is going on around here anyway?...
Reiji: Anyway, I want info. I'd like you to come with us to HQ. Kanda Momo, that goes for you too.
Momo: ...Alright.
Felicia: We'll be coming too of course.
King: Hey, Felicia...
Felicia: Hey, we're mixed up in this too. Maybe we can help figure out what's going on. So we gotta go along, right?
Momo: Felicia...
Sakura: And suddenly, our group gets way larger.
Karin: I can't exactly complain...
Barry: You better not.
Karin: You said something?
Barry: Of course, or are you deaf?
Mio: Okay okay, you two better stop before we get any casuality involving you two.
Sakura: Our friends really can't get along huh?
Mio: Tell me about it.
Hugh: Rivalry between rich families i suppose.
