"Yo Rayna! Look what I found." Shizune's voice called out in a street located a couple minutes away from Mt Kazoris mall.
"Shizune.. that is so childish, and also that's a crowbar." Rayna said, her hand placed on her hip.
"We are on our way to buy some weapons, since we know damn well Satoya is probably getting his ass beat." Rayna added on, taking out her wallet then holding out a credit card.
"Wow, a rich girl with richer parents buying anything but clothes? This probably hasn't happened since the 4th disaster.." Shizune commented, grabbing the crowbar and using it as a walking stick.
"That was more than 2 millennia ago… No wonder why you failed the world history exam 5 years ago…" Edward said as he had his arms crossed.
Rayna turned toward the rest of the gang, "Anyway, what do you guys want? I'm buying a military knife."
"I wanna punch whoever Satoya's fighting."
"Of course you do Isaac."
"We should probably hurry up, I can imagine Satoya getting folded into a paper airplane by now.." Edward pointed out, his expression was of concern.
And, surprisingly, back to the mall, Satoya was, well.. Surviving… I guess? Inside the mall, the man with the odd tuxedo was relentlessly assaulting Satoya, who was barely dodging out of pure instincts.
Seriously, what can this 19 year old who didn't even pay attention in anything during his academic life, and also built like a "typical Okamuraese dude." Do against this blue musical notes covered tuxedo wearing lunatic? Oh, and don't forget the fact that the same man punched a crater into a concrete pillar.
The katana Satoya was somehow holding was in pristine condition, Satoya himself hadn't gotten a chance to swing it, although he knows for sure if he does swing it, the man would either break the blade, or just dodge it.
Within Satoya's peripheral vision, he saw an employee in red sprinting from the shoe store inside the mall holding a fire extinguisher.
Oh hell nah, what is that idiot doing? Run or something! This man can probably survive a crash from a delivery truck!
As he expected, the man noticed Satoya being distracted, and turned around, noticing the fire extinguisher wielding employee.
The man clenched his fist before Satoya saw him fling himself toward the sprinting employee, and slowly saw the employee fly in the opposite direction, blood coming out of his mouth.
Satoya mustered the courage to quickly sprint toward the man and swing into the man's arm. Cutting through the sleeve of the blue music notes adorned tuxedo. He saw blood dripping down into the ground from the arm.
"You actually sliced my arm.. This actually hurts.. But not as bad as the punishment I'm gonna receive from my section master!" The man roared in anger.
He didn't even flinch! He's even more pissed off! I'm fucked! I'm gonna need the dental care of 5 professional dentists and like 400,000 Alikurs to pay for my medical bill if I survive!
In the blink of an eye, Satoya saw himself flying back, an horrendous pain in his jaw and the taste of something salty and metallic. He felt his back colliding through a stall where he heard a woman cowering in fear.
And after, he slid through the floor on his back. He couldn't tell if he was going to lose consciousness or somehow remain awake. However, the worst of his concern is his medical bill if he actually does survive — which is mainly due to the fact that out of all the 15 countries in the 5 capitals, Rieamaius has the most expensive medical bills, ranging from 400,000 to 56,000,000 Alikurs, but that is also excluding the Rieamaius 'donate to the workers' fee which is more so like tipping, however the tip only goes to the hospital itself, not the doctors.
I'm very likely paralyzed.. I don't want to use a wheelchair, I know if I end up in one, Isaac or Shizune are never gonna give me a break…
"Damn Edward! You're right! He really did get demolished!"
He heard a familiar, well, REALLY familiar voice call out. Who was it? Oh right, Shizune's. Satoya can't really hear anything when his head is aching, and his ears are ringing worse than a morning alarm on a school morning.
Wait.. Wow, I have such good friends.. I have no faith in them winning…
He heard someone walking up to him, then crouching over him.
"Holy hell dude, don't worry though, we'll take care of it!" Isaac spoke confidently, giving him a thumbs up.
The Man had a confused expression, moving to the side to get a better look. From the distance, or at least, the entrance of the mall next to the escalator, were 4 people.
One of them was holding a crowbar and resting it on her shoulder, looking somewhat idiotic.
One of them was holding a military knife like a dagger. She also wore an expensive brown jacket. For some odd reason, she seemed very familiar, perhaps a relative of someone the man knows.
One of them was very muscular, the t-shirt was loosely tight. This man also seemed quite experienced in fighting.
And lastly, was this short guy with glasses, the man can't tell if the guy was still in his first year of high school, but he was holding a pistol nervously.
"So, are we seriously gonna fight someone from the Alsaia Syndicate?" Edward hesitated, turning off the safety of his pistol slowly.
"C'mon it's 5 against one right?" Shizune said as she had a hand on her hip.
"5? I counted 4?" Rayna raised an eyebrow, looking left and right, trying to recount the line.
"Where's Johnathan?" Edward asked, taking a step further to look for Johnathan.
"I saw him walk into a phone store, he was mumbling something about a phone case on sale." Isaac shrugged, cracking his knuckles.
Oh right, Johnathan did indeed walk into the phone store directly after walking into the mall. Isaac was correct, as Johnathan saw a teal phone case on sale for 60% off.
"Well, let's kick his ass!" Shizune grinned as she pointed her crowbar toward the man in the blue musical note tuxedo.
Isaac immediately sprinted toward the Man. Out of the Satoya gang, Isaac is the most experienced in fighting, considering he was a national boxing champion during high school, along with him being a brown belt in taekwondo.
Isaac leapt into the air, balling up his hand, preparing to land a strike. And what were you expecting? The Man caught his fist, then pulled him closer before crashing his knee into his stomach, making Isaac collapse instantly.
Did I hit him too hard? Ah whatever, my section leader don't like mercy.
Rayna charged and attempted to stab the Man's back, however, the knife only managed to pierce through the tuxedo and skin, not really penetrating through flesh.
Edward took this as a chance to start firing his pistol, however, due to the horrid gun laws on Rieamaius, or well, the fact that some guns don't need a license to be used nor training, if you just show your ID, you'll be fine. Which means, Edward is some short guy with glasses holding a gun he doesn't know how to aim.
Edward only fired 6 bullets before seeing Rayna being thrown toward him.
The two collided with each other, knocking both of them out.
During this, Shizune took the best chance, and swung her crowbar as hard as she could at the Man's head. A loud, "PANG!" echoed throughout the mall.
Johnathan, who was walking out of the Phone store was disappointed, disappointed at the fact that no one was there to let him buy the phone case. And, well, Johnathan is horrible at reading the room, or well the entire atmosphere as a normal person would've noticed a concrete pillar punching maniac inside the mall.
Johnathan took out his phone, and as his finger was inching toward an app, he felt a gust of wind and to the side of him, Shizune was thrown at unnatural speed through a large window into a closed clothing store.
Johnathan slowly turned, peering into the shattered window, trying to see who or what was thrown into the room.
Inside the clothing store, littered glass shards, and a crowbar that's left on the floor. Shizune herself somehow survived, due to the fact she luckily was thrown into a bunch of boxes full of clothes.
Shizune stared up at the ceiling, the clothing store was closed, or well abandoned at least, so there was a lack of light. However, she simply laid there, quiet.
Dang.. Maybe I was a tad bit too cocky?
Satoya groaned as he sat up, looking around, his headache was still painful, yes, but his hearing got slightly better.
The Man approached him, his fist still clenching, blood trickling from the same arm because of the slash Satoya inflicted upon him.
"You're tougher than I thought, sadly, I will cave your fucking skull now.." The Man declared, pulling his fist back as he slowly walked toward him.
Ah great, now I'm gonna die with regret.
Suddenly, a condensed mist of stars bled in the air, with what looked to be the world itself tearing open, and from it, flew a dark figure.
