Part 2: Shinu De Nuevo
Arc 7: Changed World.
(Inside Kuragari's base)
Esperanza: (She is standing at the door frame to Sam's room) (Her purple trench coat hangs over her black shirt and black pants, with purple heels) So, what are you doing in here?
Elizabeth: (Thinking to herself) Craaap... alright, Elizabeth. You've got a silver tongue, you can talk your way out of this. Perhaps... no that won't work!
Esperanza: Well?
Elizabeth: I was just... exploring, I thought this was my room for a second. But now I see it isn't! (She starts to walk out the room) Haha so, I'ma just get going now and-!
Esperanza: (She stops Elizabeth at the door) What did you take?
Elizabeth: I didn't take anything! (She extends her arms wide open, allowing you to see inside the coat and she has nothing on her) See! Not even in my pant's pockets! Nothing!
Esperanza: (She moves out of the way) Fine then, go!
Elizabeth: (She continues walking away. She takes the journal out of the pocket dimension inside the coat pocket) Haha... idiot. Guess you say "Her brain is as smooth, as her chest is... sorta flat." I make the best jokes.
(Later that day around 13:45)
(A grassy green field, surrounded by the nearby woods. Construction workers are well working with heavy machinery)
(The excavator is digging out the ground, when it suddenly scrapes against something)
(When the workers investigate they find... a coffin? The coffin is made of dark oak and has a metal skull on the front)
Worker #1: What the hell...?
(They carry the coffin out and inside... Ren Hirata barely alive and malnourished)
Ren Hirata: (He looks out the coffin, the sunlight blinding him, he uses his hand to cover his eyes) Samuel-... Samuel Kuragari... is going to... die. By my hand... alone!
(A fire grows in Ren's eyes, he bites into his lip and the blood that drips out is black and coagulated)
Ren: For... Belial has returned. To claim the land that Lucifer sought long ago. That father sought.
Worker #2: S-... sir? Are you okay?!
Belial: (He inspects his hand silently, everyone looking on at him in confusion. His eyes dart to the man on his right side and he uses his hand to decapitate the man. The rest of the workers all run off, as far away as possible) This body... it will work finely.
(Outside a diner. Able is sitting inside Kane's car listening to Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town" air drumming with his one arm and singing along to the song. While Kane is inside getting coffee for them)
(Suddenly someone knocks on the passenger seat window, but Able doesn't notice. They knock harder and finally Able notices)
Able: (He starts rolling down the window, he has ray-bans on, he looks at the man lazily) What do you want?
The man: Able Pendragon?
Able: That is the name. May I inquire who you are?
Kenji Ford: (His hair is brown and long and isn't of a particular style, he has cobalt blue eyes. He seems to be of German and Japanese decent. His orange top coat sits over a oversized white hoodie, along with it he is wearing white skinny jeans and... no shoes at all, he does have black socks on at least) Kenji Ford... the Rogue Reaper.
Able: (His sunglasses fall down) Pardon... pardon the fuck?
Kane: (He climbs inside the car with two coffee flasks) Able, who the hell are you talking to?
Able: (He turns his head to Kane) We... may need some alcohol in those coffees.
(Meanwhile)
(Inside an apartment complex, floor 2, room B4. Everything seems quiet and still, chillingly so. The entire room is filthy, broken glass lies all over the floor, the fridge is open and the food in it and all over the counters are starting to rot. In short; the entire place looks like a goat on drugs came inside and destroyed the whole place. On the untidy bed... a man is lying down on his stomach blood dripping from his throat, he is barely breathing at all. A naked woman is sitting on top of him... eating... the flesh off of his back. She wipes the blood off of her sadistic, lustful face. Her eyes open, revealing her dark grey irises. She caresses her short red hair to the back of her head. Suddenly a hand touches her left shoulder and she looks up at them)
Kuragari: (He stands behind her, looking into her eyes) Look at how beautiful you are... and yet, the world brands you as a "monster," what a shame. But if you work with me... I'll make them accept you. No matter what it takes. (He leans in to kiss the woman, either out of blind lust or to get her reassurance) I promise you that, Tomogui Helm...
(Inside Kuragari's hideout)
(Annah is sitting inside her room, on her bed alone)
Annah: (Thinking to herself) Man... I'm really thirsty all of a sudden. (She drinks an entire glass of water in a matter of seconds, even spilling a bit of water) Well that didn't help much at all! Crap! Crap! Crap! (Elizabeth walks through the door) Elizabeth!!!
Elizabeth: Y- yeah?!
Annah: Can I... umm... drink just a tiny bit of... ya know, your b- blood?
Elizabeth: What?! No!
Annah: Sorry, it's just I'm a bit thirsty now! And... let's just move on! Did you get the journal?
Elizabeth: Yeah, I just waited until now to bring it. Had to be safe with Sam- I mean Kuragari around!
Annah: Did you nearly get caught?
Elizabeth: (She hands the journal over to Annah) Well that Esperanza was suspicious, but I used my special charms to... well charm her! We're probably just going to have to return the journal when we're done though.
Annah: (A smile grows on her face) Good job, Elizabeth. (She gives Elizabeth a headpat) You're really useful.
Elizabeth: (A blush grows on her face and she hides it) T- thanks.
(Meanwhile)
(Inside a minka in the Harima province of Japan)
(A man is inside, he is sharpening his katanas, he sheathes them in their scabbards and stands up. He throws a bag over his shoulder and starts to walk out)
The old man: (He turns to the minka before he walks out the door) Don't worry, Sakura. I'll be back soon.
(As he continues to walk out a Ryukyu robin lands on his right shoulder)
