Kevin lands a terrifyingly powerful punch on his face sending him packing into the street. As Francis is flying across the street, a bus comes barreling by which hits Francis. Kevin pants as the metal on his arm disappears.
Kevin "Jazmine! I'm gonna get you off of there now."
He goes to her and picks her up as gently as he can to minimize her damage. She winces in pain in his arms.
Kevin "We really need to get to Yami, now!"
Back To Present
Shows Kevin beating in the door to Yami's place again.
Yami "You kids, always keeping me on my toes..!"
He rushes over to her and picks her up softly. Kevin stands there for a moment watching Yami take Jazmine to the same back room where he fixed up Michael some hours ago. He coughs up some blood into his hand.
Michael "Kevin! Are you alright?"
Michael comes to his side.
Kevin "Hey, Michael... Heh, it's been awhile huh? Ow..."
He holds his side as he stands up.
Kevin "Had a run in with Francis before we got here..."
Michael "That explains her condition... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you..."
He helps him to the chair.
Kevin "It's okay man! We're not your responsibility, after all."
Michael "I'm going to make him pay..."
Michael glares angrily. Some time passes and Yami comes out of the room. Kevin stands up.
Kevin "Is she alright?!"
Yami "Who do you think I am, boy? Of course she's fine."
Jazmine comes out from behind him.
Jazmine "Although I'm going to be a little sore..."
Kevin runs up and hugs her. She looks surprised at first but soon hugs back happily. Jade and Michael look at each other smiling.
Yami "Well, now that the gang's all here, why don't we discuss the problem here."
Kevin "Jazmine and I talked to Paulie. He said it's probably Mogami causing all this trouble. And that you knew how to get to him?"
Yami "Of course I do. I know everybody. But do you really think you're ready for this? Mogami is a big deal in all the Districts. And look at you guys. I just finished patching up Michael and now Jazmine? I really don't think it's a good idea to go after him..."
Michael "I know you worry for us more than you say. But if we just sit here, more and more people will come looking for me. And that means putting you all in more and more danger..."
Jade "He's right. And we're not about to abandon our friend. Not ever."
She smiles at Michael who looks at her slightly more cheery now. Yami looks at them all together and smiles lightly. He thinks to himself.
Yami 'This is what was missing...'
Then Yami gets an intense look on his face. He stands. Jazmine has a serious look on her face. He appears like he's struggling with something internally before something clicks in his head and his eyes go white. Instantly he's back to what he was saying.
Yami "Well, if you are serious about getting to Mogami then I guess I better equip you guys with all you need. Stay right here. I gotta get something from the other room."
Yami walks into the other room and closes the door behind him. He looks around for a few things. He eventually approaches a desk and grabs something.
Yami "This should do."
Then something comes crashing through the window. He turns quickly and looks at it. It's a bomb. Yami looks shocked for a moment before calming down.
Yami "Again..."
The bomb goes off as the others in the other room feel it and stumble. Michael and Jade rush over to the room and see it destroyed. There is a secondary crashing sound.
Michael "Yami!"
Kevin "Michael!"
Kevin calls out his name. He turns quickly to see a bruised up Francis holding up Kevin staring right at Michael. A smashed in door behind him.
Michael "Put him down!"
Francis "Ya know, getting to you has got to be one of the hardest things I've ever done. And I've whacked a LOT of people."
He says, aggravated with blood dripping down his face. Jade notices Jazmine crashed into the table seemingly unconscious.
Jade "Why are you doing this?!"
Francis "Isn't it obvious? For money. Now, I'm only going to say this once. Die quickly. Otherwise I'll take it out on these guys here. 1..."
Michael gets intense, unsure of how to save his friends.
Francis "2..."
Jade looks at him like she's looking for answers. Michael is afraid.
Francis "3-"
Michael "Okay!"
Francis quickly draws a gun and fires into Michael's body 3 times, but the third shot misses. He stumbles back.
Jade "Michael!"
Kevin gets pissed.
Kevin "I'm going to kill you..."
But before he could say anything else, he was smashed to the ground hard and stomped on to make him cough out a lot of blood. Jade quickly turns and brings out her hammer and swings it at Francis. This time the hammer's head is slung from the long handle attached to a coiled whip-like end. But he dodges and wraps the sling around his arm and pulls her to him.
Francis "Nah ah. Not this time."
He grabs Jade by the collar of her shirt and lifts her off the ground. Jade looks intense as Jazmine jumps on him from behind. They struggle for a moment before he throws Jade against the wall and grabs Jazmine by the hair and shoulder throws her to the floor.
Francis "Like I said. You should really spend more time looking out for yourself."
