Harry had quite a long day of training. After Dan was knocked out, he was deemed okay by the quack doctor. And for the rest of the day, he continued training with Harry and his other students. Afterwards, he went to meet Kim to discuss what he had found on the Four Kings. Being surprised that he had met the god of thunder. Although meeting another god, it was not surprising that other gods were hanging around. The two had dinner as they discussed the Four Kings. Again, the thought of Harry not being able to get far into the tournament came into his mind. After Dinner, both detectives separated, with Harry going back to his hotel and Kim heading back to his apartment. 

During the night, Harry filled his time by getting drunk and talking to other people at the bar. A person he seemed to connect with was a silver-haired man in a cowboy [url=https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/square_medium/3/30398/971510-450px_soiree_meira.jpg]outfit[/url]. Soiree mentioned that he, his brother and a girl named Mignon Beart were going to be in the KOF tournament. Harry knew that Terry, Cap, and Ammy were going to be in that tournament. And knew that Rugal was a tough customer. He would have loved to join them, but the Street Fighter tournament seemed more up his alley. They converse about other things, mainly about each other’s lives. 

Harry recounted his time as a detective and the various cases he had solved. Going on and on about how excellent Jean, his old partner, and Kim were. And was talking about the case he had before being sent here. But of course, leaving out how he was sent here, as he didn’t totally trust Soriee. And Soriee was talking about his brother and a little bit about his life. By the end of the evening, both men were quite drunk. And as they came out of the hotel bar, they were greeted by Sorrie’s [url=https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Falba-meira-art-by-v0-4y9ri2inf5cc1.jpeg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D6db3ba5507f82f7985debb856337cf2bad36e97f]older brother[/url].

“Seriously. This is how you wanna spend your night? I was hoping you wouldn’t pull this kind of nonsense before the tournament, but this is typical.” The man had his arms crossed. The tone of his voice was very familiar to the detective. Sorrie tried to justify his actions, but his brother was having none of it. The two soon left, with Harry going back to his room. He lay in his bed in only his underwear. He was having a hard time sleeping. A few hours in, he finally fell asleep, but his dream was quite bad. 

In his dream, he was back in Revachol with Kim. They were standing in front of the tree where they found the hangman. A few moments later, the people he knew were now surrounding him and Kim. Some of them he did recognize, but some he did not. Some of the faces he noticed were Jean, Garte, Cuno, Cunoesse, Siileng, Measurehead, Titus Hardie, Cindy the Skull, Lilienne Carter, Egg Head, The Paledriver, and The Deserter.  He could hear them talking, but it was hard to make out what they were saying. 

Just then, he noticed the hanged man was twitching with his eyes suddenly opening. A sickly smile on his face, with maggots oozing out of his mouth. “[b]Well, well, well, it’s nice to see you again, Harry. If you think you're going to beat Galeem, then you think very highly of yourself. You're gonna die, and your friends are gonna DIE TOO.[/b]” And as he said, the faces of the people he knew had a frightening look to them. Looking at Harry with an intense bloodlust. Even Kim had a bloodthirsty look on his face.  All of them are coming towards him, wanting to tear Harry apart. The hangman was chanting for them to kill him. But as they had their hands on him, he was awoken by someone crashing through his hotel wall into his room. 

The detective jumped out of bed, covered in sweat. [color=662d91] “What the hell! Who the hell are you?”[/color] Harry noticed a large, menacing robot in his room. The robot didn’t answer his question, but instead was coming towards him. He knew he couldn’t take the robot on in a 1v1 fight. So he decided to run out the door, but not before grabbing his duel pistols. Stuffing them in his underwear. Harry ran down the hallway and towards the stairs to the lobby.  He could utter chaos echoing through the hallways as he passed them in the stairwell. Noticing one of the robots was following him. 


[color=662d91] “Who the hell are these guys?”[/color] Harry thought as he exited through a door, hoping to hide from his pursuer. His tired body was pressed against a wall, hearing the heavy footsteps moving past the door and down the stairs. Harry let out a sigh of relief, trying to catch his breath. Slowly, he made his way to the elevator, hoping that it was still working. As he saw the elevator light approaching his floor, he could hear footsteps coming towards him. Harry quickly turned around to see a strange [url=https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Yoshimitsu-Soul-Calibur-a.jpg]figure[/url] standing beside him. Harry let out a girly scream because he thought the figure was one of those robots. 

“My apologies for frightening you, but this is not a safe place. Come, let us go to the lobby.” The figure could see the elevator door being opened by one of those robots. In a flash, the figure unsheathed his sword, cutting the robot in half. The figure sheathed his sword before turning to Harry. “My name is Yoshimitsu, a pleasure to meet you.” The strange ninja bowed to Harry, who bowed back to him. Harry introduced himself before the two made their way back to the staircase. Even though Harry thought the robots would be on the stairs.

As both men were descending the stairs, they were rocked by multiple explosions going off. Yoshimitsu held onto Harry so he wouldn’t fall from the collapsed staircase. Yoshimitsu held onto Harry while helicoptering his sword with Harry screaming as loud as he could. Being so high in the air was scaring the crap out of him. Both of them slowly descended to the stairwell closest to the ground floor. 

Yoshimitsu set Harry down near the door leading to the lobby. [color=662d91] “Thanks, who were those guys?”[/color] Harry asked the ninja as the two were heading towards the lobby. 

“They are Jack-5’s. Killing machines created by G-Corp to eliminate the enemies of Kazuya Mishima. I am surprised he chose this hotel as a target for attack.” A statement that led Harry to believe Nadia was the reason for the attack. 

Meanwhile, Kim had rushed towards the hotel after learning of the attack. Kim was frantically trying to find Harry, being scared that he would lose him again. Being grateful when he saw Harry was safe. Both men hugged each other before Harry spoke up. 


[color=662d91] “We gotta go back in to try and find the others.”[/color] Harry was reprimanded by Kim because of how dangerous it could be to try to find the others. He wasn’t sure how safe it was even to speak in the lobby. He was yelling out that they needed to leave the building and go somewhere safe.  But Harry wasn’t listening, wanting to venture further into the building. But the explosion had made the building quite unstable. So there was no telling when the hotel would collapse in on itself.  Kim held onto Harry’s arm to make sure he wasn’t going anywhere.
