Ga-den estate, 10 years ago…
Lisa; so you're saying nite is actually soul energy?
What's that?
Lisa's dad; it's a little complicated dear, but it goes like this, for us Ga-denians, we see nite, and the soul as different things which exist inside us. We are able to channel nite but our own soul and that is what holds us back. The truth is, when we are born, nite and the soul exist as one, and the only way to fully utilize it, is to master how to control both at ounce.
Lisa; but how do we do that?
Lisa's dad; it's all about the way you see things my dear.
Present day…
Jerry and Kongou where in front of a door and on the other side of it, was where they believed Choki would be.
Jerry; alright, Choki should be just beyond this door.
Kongou; forgive my asking, but are you sure Choki is on the other side?
Jerry; to be honest, I'm not entirely sure, this whole thing has felt too easy. Normally, as long as there is nite around I could easily track it up to 10km or so. So it's strange how Choki's energy just poked up out of nowhere. I can sense he's definitely in there and I know 99% that this is a trap, so I have to be prepared for anything.
On the other side of the room, there where gunmen who had their guns aimed at the door, and suddenly, the door opened and the gunmen began unloading at the door way, then after a few seconds they stopped firing. Then one of the men went to check if they were dead.
Gunman; it's clear!
Then Kongou came from behind him, and placed a knife at his throat, the men immediately began to fire but Kongou used the man's body as a shield. Then while they were distracted, Jerry ran into the room and began disarming and knocking them out one by one. They then drew their attention to Jerry then Kongou immediately took advantage and attacked them from the opposite direction, initiating a pincer attack. Despite the gun-men's efforts, they stood no chance against them, after all, they were both faster than speeding bullets. They then kicked away their guns and took them out with a single high kick to the face. In total, Jerry had taken out 8 before they focused on him, and Kongou took down 2 when she took advantage, and then the last two were taken out simultaneously by the two of them.
Jerry; alright, Kongou, I need you to tie these two up for questioning.
Kongou; OK, what about you?
Jerry; I'm going to speak to Choki over there.
Then Jerry walked over to a sheet which seemed to be covering a chair, when he removed it, he saw Choki badly beaten up with swells all over his face and bleeding from the mouth and nose.
Jerry; *he's unconscious, I'll heal him for now. *
Then Jerry healed his injuries, leaving scars alone behind.
Kongou while slapping; Hey, wake up.
Gunman 2; what?
Kongou speaking Korean; listen to me, I don't have much time left, so I'll make this swift. I'll ask you a question, and for each second you don't answer, I'll break your finger.
Gunman 3; fuck you.
*SNAP*
Gunman 3; AHHHHHH!
Kongou; I know you would want to, but I would like to decline, you see, I'm engaged.
Now 1st question, where are the speedsters?
Gunman 2; we don't know, the last time we saw one of them, Mach, he told us to watch over that kid in case someone else showed up to get him.
Kongou; tell me more about this Mach.
Gunman 2; he was just the guy who hired us nothing more.
Jerry; Hey, Kongou, we're almost out of time.
?; Kongou right, huh?
And at that moment Jerry and Kongou realized they were surrounded.
?, form behind Kongou; going so soon?
Kongou (shocked); *I didn't even hear him coming, *
Jerry; *no way*
Gunman 2; we bought time just as you said boss.
Kongou; wait, so they knew?
? from behind Jerry; you're the head of Ga-den aren't you? The one we've been searching for?
Jerry; *what's with this guy*
?; to be blessed with such power as you, I want it, badly.
Kongou (shocked); How did you know he was the head!
Jerry, then turned sideways and saw no one there or behind him; Wait, what?
? from the room exit; I'm off, have more important things to do. Oh, and before I forget,
Hold back, and I'll kill you myself.
Then everyone took aim at Jerry and Kongou. While the mysterious person left the place.
Jerry to Kongou; split.
Then as bullets began flying towards them, the two ducked down and went in different directions.
Jerry while looking at his watch; *shit, it's been 32 minutes, I hope I didn't make the wrong call, also carrying Choki might not have been the best idea in this situation. *
Then Jerry was then shot in the shoulder and his right arm. Then 3 shooters closed in on him, but Kongou using a knife she then killed all three from behind them, she then began to defend Jerry from incoming shots by deflecting them as they came. However, they where heavily outnumbered and each enemy had a gun.
Jerry; Kongou, you need to get to safety. I'll be fine!
Kongou; Sorry Jerry, but my duty is to protect you with my life, you that's what I'll do.
Kongou began to grow tired quickly and soon began taking shots to the thighs and torso. But she still stood firm.
Jerry; *she won't last much longer, what should I do? There's too many of them, at least 30. Think, think!
Wait, what that…*
Months ago…
Lisa while reading in the archives; no way, this changes everything. What's this? It looks like a mantra.
Back in the present…
The soul is my core, the body is my crust
In him alone, to whom I trust,
And the beast who resides where I cannot,
Give me strength…
*inhale, exhale*
*Let my soul, my power, fuse as one. *
Soul Nite
Then suddenly, a bright light filled the room and then…
*BANG*
A tremendous explosion followed it, it was so powerful it destroyed the ceiling and even damaged the surrounding area above ground, creating an enormous crater.
"Jerry, are you OK?"
Jerry, while slowly opening his eyes; I am, thanks, Lisa.
Lisa's body was glowing white from head to toe, even her hair was shining white and her eyes glowed. She was carrying Jerry in both arms.
Lisa; I'm a little late aren't I.
Jerry; it doesn't matter *chuckle* and here I was thinking you couldn't possibly be more beautiful.
Lisa; you're doing it again aren't you?
Jerry; nope, I couldn't be more sincerer.
Lisa's face began to turn red, but before she could say anything. Jerry placed his hand on her face and kissed her.
Meanwhile…
Mach; It seems our little test was worth it, Vel.
Vel, while eating meat and sitting at a table; of course it did, I told you it would work didn't I?,
Mach; Do you seriously have to stuff your face every 10 minutes?
Vel; SHUT UP! I need at least 40,000 calories a day to fuel my speed.
Mach; funny how the rest of us don't have that problem.
VEL; SHUT UP!
After he finished his food…
Vel; now to the matter at hand, while they are preoccupied in Seoul, we can finish our business here in Japan.
Mach; I'm well aware, Vel.
Vel; our movement has just begun, call the rest of them, we're having a meeting in one week, make sure they haven't forgotten.
Mach; who died and made you boss?
Vel; say one more word and you're dead!
