(The news was on. It wasn't the hero's team normal tv though. It was a tv at a police station. Reo and Kazu were watching it. The news lady was talking.)
News Lady: "Yesterday was a tragic day. A tournament turned into a nightmare. A place where
heroes fight to show what they got, is what our number one hero, Portaru, set up, but it was anything but fun. Fifty-six injured and twenty-three deaths including a hero of his own team. Ruri Sora, age 21. She was originally from Tokyo when she came to our city to help and help she did. The man named Kage who we have seen much about has been captured also. His trial is next week and we will see what he has to say for himself. In my opinion he doesn't deserve a trial, but I don't get to choose. More about Kage after the break."
(A commercial about some sitcom turned on, but Kazu turned it off. They sat in silence for a moment, but then they heard a voice behind them.)
Selene: "They say her name one time, and that's all she gets."
(Kazu turned to see Selene there.)
Kazu: "Selene, you're not supposed to b-"
Selnee: "One time. That's it. Then she's forgotten."
Reo: "She's not forgotten."
Selene: "Just shut up!"
(There were tears falling down her cheeks.)
Selene: "She's dead! And I did nothing! I-I did nothing."
(Selene fell to the ground. Her face fell into her palms. She was crying uncontrollable. Kazu walked over to here.)
Kazu: "Hey, let's take you back to the house ok."
(She nodded her head. Kazu opened a portal right to her room. She walked in and he closed the portal behind her.)
Reo: "She turned crazy."
Kazu: "She lost her sister. I'd freak out if I lost my brother."
Reo: "I thought you hate your brother."
Kazu: "Well, yeah."
(Kazu walked over to look through the one way mirror. Kage was sitting there handcuffed to the table.)
Reo: "Why isn't she allowed in here again?"
Kazu: *sigh* "She'll be too emotional around this guy. He killed her sister. I can't trust she won't try to kill him."
Reo: "Eh, I say let her."
Kazu: "Jesus Reo. Why say that?"
Reo: "He deserves to die. He's killed so many people, including Ruri. I didn't like her, but she didn't deserve to die. At least let Selene get a little bit of closure."
Kazu: "Killing him wouldn't be closure. It might even make her pain worse."
Reo: "Oh really? Why's that?"
Kazu: "Well the pain won't go away if you kill him. She'll then realize that and assume her pain is never ending, but it can end. She is the only one to give herself closure. She just needs time."
Reo: "Whatever, let's just interrogate him. Stupid cops. Making us do their jobs cuz they're too scared to do it."
Kazu: "Well I don't blame them. He's a scary looking guy. I don't know if those scratches are makeup or a tattoo or what."
Reo: "Who knows, maybe even a birthmark like Kiriena."
Kazu: :A lot of weird birthmarks."
(They both walked in the room.)
Kage: "Finally, company. I've been bored as hell sitting here. You guys got any cards or something?"
Reo: "Can it Kage. We're not here to play games."
Kage: "Really? And I'm sitting here thinking this is my personal playpen."
(Reo clenched his fist, but Kazu put his hand on his shoulder to calm him down.)
Kazu: "Why'd you do it?"
Kage: "Do what?"
(Reo slammed his fist on the table.)
Reo: "We're not playing games here!"
Kage: "You made that clear when you walked in and told me. Also I love the good cop bad cop thing you got going here. It's hilarious."
Reo: "Shut up."
Kage: "Exactly what the bad cop would say."
Kazu: "Enough. First off what's your last name."
Reo: "Yeah like that will help."
Kage: "Haha, it really won't because you don't know my first name."
Kazu: "It's not Kage?"
(Kage looked at him like he was dumb.)
Kage: "No it's not Kage. I'm not gonna walk around using my real name. Who am I? Reo?"
Reo: "Shut up!"
Kazu: "Both of you, calm down. We're getting nowhere with this."
Kage: "You'll never get anywhere. I'm not gonna give anything up. I've been through worse then two guys saying 'tell me' over and over again."
(Reo cracked his knuckles.)
Reo: "Then let's make it worse for you."
Kazu: "Reo...no."
Kage: "Yeah Reo. Bad dog."
Reo: "Shut up!"
Kazu: "Reo, talk with me outside."
(They both started to walk outside the room.)
Kage: "Oooooo, someone's in trouble."
(Kazu closed the door behind him.)
Kazu: "We gotta work together on this."
Reo: "I'm not for the teamwork stuff."
Kazu: "I can tell, but right now we need to. Kage is smart and he knows how to break you."
Reo: "Break me?"
Kazu: "Well, I mean, he has gotten you to act out a lot."
Reo: No he hasn't."
Kazu: "He has though. He's made you rush in battle.
Reo: "No he hasn't. I do that on my own."
Kazu: "Oh really."
Reo: "Yeah, get off my back damn it."
Kazu: "Fine. Just don't get in screaming matches with him while I'm trying to interrogate him. It just wastes time and that's what he wants."
Reo: "Whatever."
(They walked into the room again.)
Kage: "Sup losers."
Reo: "You're the loser! You're going to jail!"
(Kazu walked Reo out of the room again.)
Kazu: "He doesn't make you mad huh."
Reo: "Shut up."
(While they were talking a girl walked in. She was short and had long black hair. She had tanish skin with brown eyes. She had on a cop uniform with her last name on it. Lopez.)
Lopez: "Have you two got anything done yet?"
Reo: "Huh? Who the hell are you?"
Kazu: "Reo, calm down. Sorry about that, but who are you exactly?"
Lopez: "I'm a cop, duh. I'm here to help with the interrogation."
Reo: "Really? We heard everyone was too much of a wimp to look at him."
Lopez: "Well not me. So let's go in or move aside."
(She walked past them and headed into the room. Kazu and Reo followed her. Kage looked and smiled at Lopez.)
Kage: "Wow, a cop that's not scared of me. So rare."
Lopez: "Shut it Kage. We got stuff to do."
Kage: "Wow so feisty. This chick means business. I like it."
Lopez: "First question, What is your real name?"
Kage: "That's a great question, one I won't answer."
(Lopez slammed her fist on the table. Kazu and Reo flitched. Not Kage.)
Lopez: "Answer the damn question!"
Kage: "Jesus lady calm down."
Reo: "Yeah what he said."
Kazu: "Reo stop agreeing with Kage, and Ms.Lopez can you warn us before you do that again."
Lopez: "It's officer Lopez and if I warn you then I'm warning the criminal."
Kage: "True."
Kazu: "Fine."
Lopez: "Can I continue?"
Kazu: "Yes."
Lopez: "Good. Now, I'm gonna ask one more time. What is your name?"
Kage: "So if that's you last time asking the question, are we done with questions?"
(Lopez punched Kage right in the face. Kazu pulled her back.)
Kazu: "What the hell?!"
Lopez: "Kazu this is how I work. If you don't like it, leave."
Kazu: *sigh* "Fine, I'll let you work your magic, but be less violent."
Lopez: "Don't tell me what to do."
Reo: "I'm alright with the violence. Kage deserves to be hit a few times."
Lopez: "Thank you."
Kage: "Yeah, thanks."
Lopez: "You ready to talk yet?"
Kage: "If the punch hurt I would."
(Lopez' threw another punch to Kage's face. A little dribble of blood came out of his nose.)
Kage: Haha, is this even legal?"
Lopez: "You're one to talk about what's legal. Now if I can't get a name out of you how about we get a place. Where have you been hiding out?"
Kage: "Ma'am, do you take me as a snitch? Cause I'm not. So take yourself, portal boy, and electro brain, and get out."
Kazu: "Portal boy?"
Reo: "Electro brain!"
Lopez: "Both of you calm down!"
Kage: "Yeah, what she said."
Lopez: "Shut up!"
(Kage pretended to zip his mouth close and throw away the zipper.)
Lopez: "Ugh, you are all so annoying."
(She walked out of the room leaving Reo and Kazu with Kage.)
Kage: "I think she's mad."
(Sara and Dai were in the living room. Yui was in charge of guarding Selene's door to make sure she didn't leave. Dai offered to help, but Yui insisted. Taku was in his room so that just left Sara and Dai. Mr. Clone and Protector had to leave. They were there longer than they thought they were gonna be. They have cities of their own to protect. Mr. Clone said they might be back sometime to visit or help if they need it. He also promised to be at Ruri's funeral. It has been a week and Dai wasn't really prepared. He hated funerals. He was at a lot of them as a kid and he hated every single one.)
Sara: "How are you doing?"
Dai: "Huh?"
Sara: "How are you doing? About… you know"
Dai: "Oh, not so good. She was amazing, and it's a tragedy we lost her, but I can't even imagine
what Selene's going through."
Sara: "Yeah, I couldn't imagine losing Reo. I feel so bad for Selene. I wish I could've been there to do something."
Dai: "Me too."
(Dai blamed himself a little bit. Selene went over to help him when Ruri got killed. If Dai didn't go over there asking for help, Selene could've helped Ruri and she would've been alive still. This is all his fault. Kage didn't kill Ruri. He did.)
(It was night and a man wearing all black was standing on a building top. He had a black hoodie on with black sweatpants too. He had black gloves, black shoes, and a black mask with only the eyes showing. Purple eyes. He was looking over the city until he found what he was looking for. The police station. Lopez was still talking with Kage. Reo and Kazu went home for the night. She was interrogating Kage still.)
Lopez: "Listen I don't wanna be here, and I know you don't either."
Kage: "I don't mind it. Better than prison."
(Lopez slammed her hand on the table.)
Lopez: "Stop being smart with me!"
Kage: "I can be dumb, but you won't get a word out of me either way."
Lopez: "Ugh."
(Lopez headed for the door.)
Kage: "Where you going?"
Lopez: "Smoke break."
Kage: "Ok. Well I've had fun, but I guess I should start going."
Lopez: "Heh, funny."
(Lopez turned to the door.)
Kage: "Break the chain."
Lopez: "Excuse me?"
(Lopez turned back to Kage.)
Kage: "I wasn't talking to you."
(Kage lifted up his hand with the chain around it. Then a black blur zoomed by and broke it.)
Lopez: "What the hell?!"
(Lopez jumped back. Kage stood up.)
Kage: "That's better. Hey where's the key for this thing? I don't wanna have it hanging on to me forever. Kind of uncomfortable."
(Lopez pulled her gun out and pointed it at Kage.)
Lopez: "Sit back down!"
Kage: "Woah, calm down. We're just hanging out. Also, knock the gun out of her hand."
(The blur came by and hit the gun out of her hand.)
Lopez: "How are you-?"
(She turned back to Kage to see a fist to the face. Her head flew back and hit the wall. She fell to the ground unconscious.)
Kage: "Now that's how you throw a punch. Break the door and the rest of the chain."
(The black blur broke the door and chain and Kage walked through.)
Kage: "Finally, now I can stop telling you to do things and you just do it. Now let's go right through the front door."
(Kage heard an explosion at the front of the police station.)
Kage: "Or not."
(The black blur broke the wall Kage was standing next to. He walked through and looked to his right where his shadow demon floated.)
Kage: "Thanks for the help. Couldn't have done it without you."
(Kage started walking down the street while the police station behind him was on fire, but it wasn't a normal fire. The flame was pitch black.)
