Part 2: Shinu De Nuevo
Arc 7: Changed World.
(Inside Kenji's jail cell. The sun is slowly starting to rise outside and Kenji is still asleep. Two guards walk up to the cell and bang against the bars with their rifles)
Guard #1: Come on! Wake the shit up, Rogue Boy! Your day of judgement has come!
Kenji: (His eyes open and he looks at the guards) I've been awake for the last half hour. What kept you guys waiting?
Guard #2: Stop slacking around! Get the hell over here and get in these chains!
Kenji: (He stands up and starts walking up to the cell door) The previous Rogue Reaper escaped. What'll make me different?
Guard #1: The difference is that you're no Samuel Reyes!
Kenji: Yeah, you're right... (Just as he puts his right foot in the chain, he kicks #2 with he left leg, knocking him back. He follows up with a back elbow strike to #1's face. He quickly grabs #1's knife and stabs #2 in the chest, 13 times. #1 quickly recovers and aims his rifle at him, Kenji throws the knife into #1's throat, he runs up and grabs hold of the knife) I'm not Reyes. (He slices #1's throat clean open and he takes #2's teleportation Magica crystal) Sayonara, assholes! (He uses the crystal and teleports to Earth, he is standing in the middle of the shinjuku district of Tokyo) I died once, but now I'm back for more!
(Inside a diner. Kane, Able and Kenji are sitting at a table)
Kenji: And that's how I got out of there!
Able: I have a few questions that I'm not even gonna bother asking.
Kenji: Well I have one for you, can I help you kill Samuel Kuragari?
Kane: Yes-...
Able: NO!
Kane: Able?! Why!
Able: Look at him, he's only 19! He's essentially a baby in an overcoat!
(Kenji looks like he's going to say something but he just stops at looks out the window)
Kane: You hurt his feelings, Able! And besides we're talking about THE Rogue Reaper here! We need all the help we can get! (He looks at Kenji with a smile and gives him a thumbs up) You're in!
Able: (He stands up and starts to walk out the diner, shaking his head) If he gets killed, you're burying him.
Kane: Don't worry, he gets those moods now and again!
Able: (From outside the diner) I heard that!
(Later that evening)
(Inside an abandoned underground metro station. It is "safe-haven" where Demi-humans hide from the rest of the world, even after their presence has been revealed to the world. There are still those who live in fear)
(Inside the office of Setura, the "leader" of sorts of the Demi-humans in hiding. He is just sitting at his desk when suddenly Kuragari and Tomogui wearing a pure white and red dress is following behind him, walk into the room, they are being escorted by three guards)
Setura: (He has long black hair with black wolf ears and hazel eyes. He is wearing a ragged black suit with torn pants) What do you want now?
Guard: We found these two. They... just wandered in here!
Kuragari: Correction! I came here on purpose! To find you, Mr Setura!
Setura: And why is that?
Kuragari: I'm a simple man! My favorite band is Disturbed! Eren Yeager is my man! Favorite Super-hero/Super-villain is Carnage! My favorite flavor of ice cream is vanilla! And-...!
Setura: Get to the point!
Kuragari: Do you know what memes are?
Guard: Like "stonks?"
Kuragari: No! Not like stonks! Memes are an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means.
Setura: And what do you mean by that?
Kuragari: If you all continue to hide, others will imitate this! They'll be imitated, etc. etc.! It's a cycle that won't end. In the end all that you will be known for is the race that hid from the sunlight...
Setura: (He stands up and slams his fist against the table) Get to the point or else I'm killing you and your girlfriend right here and now!
Kuragari: She's not my girlfriend, she eats people. (He takes a short little breath after speaking so fast) If you help me! I promise you that you will receive ALL the freedom and recognition in the world that you want! To prevent the memes from spreading! Do you understand?! I am no usurper! I am a messiah that leads stray lambs onto the grounds that they themselves seek! Even if I have to sacrifice my own blood, my own heart, my own soul! That is who I am!
Setura: (He sits back down and turns his back to Kuragari with his office chair) *Sigh* What do you want then?
Kuragari: Simple, three or four of your strongest warriors. Each willing to follow orders without any hesitation. And I will assure them and you all a place in my world!
Setura: (He turns back to Kuragari) Fine... if this fails though I will have your head!
Kuragari: (He reaches out for a handshake) Trust me, it won't. (Him and Setura shake hands) (Thinking to himself) Ah-ha-ha... foolish decisions and innocent illusions, my favorite couple of all time.
(Meanwhile)
(Belial is walking through the streets of Ginza-district in Tokyo)
Belial: If I am to "Blend-in" I need to acquire better clothing.
(While walking through the streets Belial kicks and breaks a boombox that's playing music, that three punks are listening)
One of the punks: (He stands up and punches Belial in the back) What's the idea, asshole?!
(Belial slowly turns around and changes his face into its true demonic form. His face turns pale. With thick horns sticking out the side of his head, that face forward almost like spears or spikes. His entire lower jaw is missing, instead replaced with a black void, with a long tongue nearly 80cm in length sticking out and sharp, rugged, thorn-like teeth protruding from the edges where the flesh stops and the void starts. His eyes have disappeared completely and his hair has faded away. It is truly the monster that hides in the closet)
One of the punks: H- holy shit!!!
(All three of the punks bolt in the opposite direction of Belial into the night)
(Belial's face turns back into Ren's and he turns to a clothing store across the street, he walks into it. Just as the store clerk says "Sorry we're closed" he turns his arm into a black blade weapon and impales the clerk through the mouth. 15 minutes later he walks out the store wearing a blue business suit, with black shoes and gloves, and a black ascot tie)
(Nighttime around 20:13)
(Inside Kuragari's hideout)
(Levi is leaning against a wall playing with a knife)
Esperanza: (She walks up to Levi and stands next to him) And what are you doing?
Levi: (He stops playing with the knife and puts it in his pocket) I don't know, doing random nonsense until Kuragari tells me to do something.
Esperanza: Oh...
Levi: *Sigh* Listen, Esperanza... I don't know how this is gonna end. Fuck forbids we make it out of this alive. But you're my sister, my little sister. I love you, more than anyone else in this world. Because we're the only people we can rely on, left in the world.
Esperanza: Where are you getting at?
Levi: (He turns his head to Esperanza with tears in his eyes) I want you to run.
Esperanza: What do you mean, Levi?
Levi: You heard me, get out of here. I'm scared that... your next step, will be your final step. The second you trip... then you're of no use to Kuragari. (Kuragari and Tomogui are well... having sex in his room) He'll only use you like he's doing with that other woman. He's nothing but a lustful little cerdo. So please Esperanza... go.
Esperanza: If he ask where I went?
Levi: I don't know... I'll figure something out. Just go now while he's "busy."
Esperanza: Thank you, Levi.
Levi: That's what siblings do, they look out for each other. (Him and Esperanza fist bump each other) I'll see you again.
Esperanza: I better see you again.
