Chapter 54 - Alliances Part 1

Part 2: Shinu De Nuevo

Arc 7: Changed World.

(Inside Kuragari's hideout)

(Kuragari is sitting down on his "throne," in the middle of the warehouse, with his eyes closed)

(Suddenly the main doors to the warehouse open and a man walks inside)

Kuragari: I just... (He opens his eyes and looks at the man) had this place dusted. Here you come with your orange steampunk coat and let all the wind in!!! (He stands up from the throne) So what in the French Toast Fuck do you want?!

The man: (His black combed hair, gets messy as the wind blows it. His eyes are covered by bronze and black goggles) Simple, I have come for the bounty on your head.

Kuragari: Since you wanna be a clown. I thought I should let you know, the circus is nine miles in the OPPOSITE direction. Seriously who wears that... in 2020?!

The man: So are you going to come with me peacefully or... am I going to have to severe your head from your shoulders.

Kuragari: Like... a- are you larping now or something?

The man: (He unsheathes a sword from the scabbard on his right hip) Fine, It seems I shall take the head off the usurper himself.

Kuragari: (He points backwards at the throne with his thumb) "Usurper?" Bitch, I paid for this thing! (The sword that the man is holding suddenly turns into a long, large bladed Scythe) Oh... shit. Well someone's compensating.

The man: Now... show me yours.

Kuragari: No! No. Don't... j- just don't phrase it like that. (He summons the Black Scythe in its katana form in his left hand, as the fires on his arm burn more intensely) Mine ain't much, but it gets the job done, all the same. There are ya happy?! Can you go back to the 1890's now?! (The man rushes at Kuragari with the Scythe, but he manages to block it) Asshole... I just had a bad week. (He headbutts the man) And when I have bad weeks, bad things tend to happen! So unless you want to end up as a stain on the sidewalk. I recommend you use those legs and go. I'll even give you a bit of help!

(Suddenly the man is standing outside the warehouse, he has seemingly been teleported outside)

(He opens the doors again and sees Kuragari sitting on his throne)

Kuragari: Guess you didn't get the hint, huh?

(Kuragari takes a deep breath and the man is standing back outside)

(The man seems disorientated, he tries to open the door, but is suddenly standing away from it. He keeps running towards the door, over and over and over and over. But each and every time he reaches out, he is standing away from it)

Kuragari: (From inside the warehouse) Do you get it know? Go away! Your leg's broken anyway!

The man: Broken leg?

(The man's right leg all of sudden breaks and he falls to the ground)

The man: The hell?! (He stands up and starts walking away) Heed my warning, someday I will return for the bounty!!!

Kuragari: Yeah! Yeah! Get outta here!!! (He stands up from the throne and starts walking around) It's like I'm running a haven for every nutjob on the face of the planet here. Honestly I won't be surprised if Light Yagami or Lelouch Lamperouge show up at my doorstep. (He walks to the back of the warehouse, into a room where several "scientists" are working inside. They are working on weapons and other equipment) How the hell are things going along in here?! I didn't kidnap you all from Spade Industries for nothing!

The Head Scientist: (He walks up to Kuragari, anxious and he looks overworked and tired) Umm... well things are going here.

Kuragari: What kind of "going?"

The Head Scientist: The weapons are being manufactured, slowly yet surely! Just... umm... some of the guys are getting hungry here... we haven't had something to eat in two days.

Kuragari: *Sigh* (He reaches into his coat pocket and takes out a wallet. He hands the scientist some money) Fine... go get them something then! But if you tell anyone about this, I'll make McKamey Manor look like a damn tea party.

The Head Scientist: R- right!

(Two other men walk into the room, both of them nervously sweating)

Kuragari: (He is leaning against a desk) Ah, there you two are! Well?

Man #1: Uh... well boss.

Kuragari: Don't call me boss, please. Did you find him?! Able Pendragon?

Man #2: We kinda... can't find him.

Kuragari: What do you mean, "can't find him?"

Man #1: He's nowhere to be found. We've searched all throughout the city. Besides if we find him, I doubt we'd be able to kidnap him for ya, boss.

Kuragari: Did I tell you to continue calling me boss?! Or did I tell you to find Able Pendragon?! For fuck sakes! Just find the guy and tell me where he is!

Man #2: We're kinda tired now, boss...

(Kuragari grabs an unbuilt rifle off the desk and shoots the first man with it. A dark blue flame surrounds the man, as he lets out a bloodcurdling scream that echoes throughout the room. The man explodes from the inside, out. But inside of blood splattering everywhere, the only thing that remains of him are blue dust particles that fly into the air, across the room)

Kuragari: (He leans to the scientist next to him) I... thought this was the hypergravity gun.

The Scientist: (He points to a weapon on another desk) That's the hypergravity gun.

Kuragari: (He looks at the Hokai gun) Huh... noted.

(Upstairs)

(Elizabeth is sneaking around, slowly making her way into Kuragari's room)

(She is wearing the dark blue duster coat that Kuragari threw out, the one that belonged to Erik Pendleton. Along with a bright red shirt underneath and a purple knee-length skirt, with black shoes)

Elizabeth: (She opens the cupboard next to Kuragari's bed and inside finds his journal, the cover is made of red leather and there's lock attached to it) Ha! Bingo!

("What are you doing in here?! Little lady?!")

(Elizabeth quickly hides the journal in her coat and turns her head, to see Esperanza standing at the door frame)

(Inside a prison cell, the only bit of light is the moon, illuminating it from shining outside)

("Do you really want to be what THEY want you to be? A monster? A demon? A being of relentless Wrath and chaos? Or... do you want to prove them wrong? Now... haha I'm not saying we have to work with each other entirely. But after all, there can't be Balance if there is no Destruction. Now Yin if there is no Yang. No... Fate if there is no Rogue One.")

("What do I have to do?")

("Simple. Kill Samuel Roy Kuragari...")

(A grin grows on his face, "Consider it done already. M'lady Fate.")

(She starts to walk through a portal, but stops and turns to him, "Oh I almost forgot to mention. You won't be alone during all this... you'll catch on.")

(Inside Hiro manor. Dracula, Louis, Peter and Gabriela are walking down the hallway)

Gabriela: (Her pink jacket stands in contrast, with her ashen shirt and black pants) Don't you... think you should wear something more modern?

Dracula: (He is wearing a black cape that drags along the floor, with a collar that resembles the wings of a bat. With a black vest, with red buttons. Over a white shirt, the collar is closed by a necklace with a red gem attached. The black jeans he is wearing are neatly tucked into his black boots) Why do you say that?

Peter: Because if you run into a dude named Jonathan in the street, you'll make him piss-bolt in the other direction.

Louis: (He hits Peter over the head with his fist) *Whispering to Peter* Do you wanna get us killed?!

Peter: *Whispering* Sorry. But can I still ask him if he has a Stand named Za Warudo?

(Louis raises his fist to hit Peter over the head again. But he quickly stops when Dracula opens the door and he sees Kane standing outside, leaning against his car. Kuragari sent it back to him as a "gift" after Ren Hirata stole it)

Dracula: Kane Pendragon.

Kane: Dracula... I hear you got a grudge against the Van Helsing bloodline. Against Sam?

Dracula: You're correct. What do you want?

Kane: (He walks towards Dracual) I... believe we can help each other.

Dracula: How so?

Kane: You want Sam dead, I want Sam dead. Hell he punched you into the SUN! Even killed your brother, Alu-...

Dracula: Don't mention Alucard!

Kane: Right, sorry. But see we can help each other! We can't take down Sam on our own.

Dracula: Fine. Under ONE condition, I'M the one to kill him. No one else, goes near that bastard on his death bed.

Kane: I'll... take that condition.

(Kane reaches his hand out to Dracula. And Dracula shakes his hand)
