"Well, well, well. What do I have here?" A male voice said. His front body couldn't be seen because of the light pointing at his back.
The figure was holding a weapon; a bat.
His white teeth made out a happy and evil like grin.
"Huh?" Ken immediately inquired at the unknown youth. "Who are you?"
"Who are you?" The guy asked Ken. "Your in my house!"
Ken then briefly paused at the youths accusation. He scanned the surroundings of the store, and streets as well.
He then inquired again, "Your house?"
"I don't see any house here buddy," Ken said.
"You standing right in it," said the youth. His voice and face showed that he was getting annoyed.
"Inside?" Ken asked himself, taking another look around the place. He then exclaimed, "Oh! You live in the store!"
"Excellent," After the youth said so, he lowered the bat that was rested on his shoulder and continued, "and your in my territory..., buddy."
The guy started to approach Ken, whom was still armed with his spear.
"What; slow down there," Ken started to plead. "I wasn't aware this was your house."
He then whispered to Ezil, "*Whispers* Why didn't you tell me that a hobo lived here?"
"Cause I thought that wasn't important," said Ezil.
"(Ahh! This guy!)" Ken cursed Ezil's in his head; fully aware that he could hear him.
"Slow down? I'm barely walking towards ya," The guy said.
"No! I mean slow down so nobody gets hurt!" Ken reinstated.
"Oh," The youth said "You mean that you won't get hurt?"
"(No, you dummy!)" The prideful Ken said. He was fully aware that he was stronger and more agile than the guy that stood infront. Unless, he also had something like Ezil, but that thought didn't cross Ken's mind.
"Alright!" Ken exclaimed. "You asked for this."
Ken began to sprint towards the guy that stood infront of him.
"Coming to attack me, huh?" The guy inquired. With his bat ready, he also dashed towards Ken.
"Argghhh!" The guy shouted as dashed towards Ken.
Ken stayed silent, not wanting to waste his energy at his weaker enemy.
"*Bark!*" Bark then started to bark at the offender of her master.
When the two attacker were at melee range, the unknown guy took the first attack.
*Swoosh*
His metal bat crashed against the breeze as it swinged at Ken's head.
Instant he ducked to the ground. He laid his weapon on floor when he had finished his action.
When the youths bat was on the other side, Ken then took his chance.
He clutched his fist as hard as could and raised his knuckles towards bottom jaw of the youths head.
*Pow*
Ken gave the unknown guy a upper cut.
The guy's jaw the flew back, with saliva spewing out of his mouth.
*THUD*
The youth then fell on the floor flatly. He was out cold.
"That was quite easy," said Ken, massaging his knuckles.
"..."

.
.
A few minutes had pass.
The youth was still on the floor, unconscious.
His eyes then began to twitch. The guy eyes then opened.
Infront was Ken, who was crouching down, looking blankly at the guy.
"Finally," Ken said with a sigh "You're awake."
"Uhh?" Ken stared at the youth infront of him.
The guy then stood up with a darken face. He looked down at Ken whom was still crouching.
"*Sigh*", He sighed, "You still want mor-. Huh?"
The youth infront of him immediately bowed down by knelling his legs while his arms were spread out.
He then apologize to Ken with remorse in his voice, "I'm so sorry!"
"If I knew you were that strong, I wouldn't have mess with you," The guy pleaded. "Please, please! Please forgive me!"
"Uhhh, *Sigh* you shouldn't be messing with anyone at all," Ken said. "I was just trying to find some clothes in the store, no, I mean your house."
"If I had known it was your house, I wouldn't had come in," said Ken.
"*Sobbing*" The guy continued to cry even when Ken had tried to clear up the matter.
"Hey, hey?" Ken tried to call the guy. "(Jeez. I didn't know that babies looked as teenagers now.)"
"Hmmm?" The dude then ruse his head, looking straight at Ken with watery eyes.
The dud infront of him was obvious Asian. He wore the buckled up jacket with white, grey and black stripes. His under garments also had the same color palette. The guy's shoes were red with a white bottom.
The guy had also had the face of teenager.
Ken later inquired, "What's your name and how old are you?"
"Umm," The guy started to wipe away the tears from his eyes as he began to speak, "My name is Noriyuki Toagshi and I'm *Sob sixteen (16)."
"(Sixteen?)" Ken inquired to himself. "(I thought he was a grown man with that attitude.)"
Ken took a stance. He looked downwards at Toagshi.
"Get up, umm..," Ken then stuttered as had forgotten Toagshi name. "What's your name again?"
"Noriyuki Toagshi." Toagshi responded.
"Noriyaki Tashi?" Ken reinstated.
"No, just call me Noriyuki." Toagshi said.
Ken started to repeat the name to fluidly remember it, "Noriyuki, Noriyuki, Noriyuki."
"Alright, Noriyuki. (Why are Japanese names so hard to say?)" asked Ken. "You said this was your house right?"
"Yeah." Toagshi answered with a low voice.
"So.., your homeless?" Ken then abruptly uttered.
"No!" Toagshi then stood up from the floor. He brushed the dust off his clothing and then continued, "I live here."
Ken started to scratch the back of his head, trying to figure the guy out, "So you live in this store?"
"Yes!" Toagshi exclaimed.
Ken stared blankly at the young youth, "... Alright, I'm leaving now."
"Come on, Bark!" He called.
"*Bark!*" Bark then followed her master as instructed.
Ken walked out the door of the store, not paying any attention towards Toagshi.
Toagshi hastily ran out the door of the clothing store, aiming his agility towards Ken and companion, Bark.
"Hey! Wait up!" He shouted at the two.
Ken continued walking, but asked, "What do you want?"
"You left this," Toagshi was holding Ken's spear, with purple blood on the tip of it's blade.
"Oh, crap! I forgotten that," He then walked towards Toagshi and took the spear from him. "Thanks dude."
Ken turned around and continued on his merry journey.
Toagshi hold his hands around his mouth and shouted, "Wait!!"
Ken once again stopped and inquired, "What??!!"
"Can I come with you??!!"
"What for??!!"
"Just because??!!"
Ken let out a sigh and then said, "*Sigh*"
He then signaled Toagshi to come by using his fingers.
Toagshi sprinted towards Ken and asked, "Where are you going?!"
"Wherever the winds of this fallen world takes me, my good sir," answered Ken with cringe.
"Wow!" Toagshi said with admiration. "That's cool dude."
"Yeah, I know. Haha," Ken chuckled.

[Northern Union National Bank.]
Dr. Kuwobasa henchmen were sent to take the remaining money that was leaved by the government of which whom controlled the military. That was the only person's money targeted.
It might be because of Kuwobasa hatred or unluckiness, but their money was targeted.
*VROOM!*
*HALT!*
Seven cars stood wait infront of Northern Union Bank. It was large building with white, strong pillars that held it up from the outside. Inside was just like any other high class place.
The floor was crystal white as well as the ceiling. Navy Blue chairs were laid inside. And the courter which protected the vault to very wealthy and high classed citizens money.
But as any other weeds and vines crowded it's pillars and walls. It was dusty because of the lack of cleaning. It was also taking over by the scenario of the apocalypse.
*Open*
One of the car door opens.
A henchman with a blue short jacket, white under garment and blue jeans.
In his left hand was a cigarette to relax himself.
The guy started to bark orders at the gang, "EVERYONE, GET OUT!!"
Instantly, everyone from different cars came marching out.
"Ugh. Why the hell is his his mouth this big?" One complained.
"Careful, didn't you know that Jaheim also has super hearing too. Haha," Another said.
Another joked, "Hahaha. This reminds me of cadet when I was younger, hehe!"
There were eighteen (18) men that stood on the street. They were only armed with light weapons like bats and knives at the moment, while the other heavy weapons were kept in the trunk of the cars.
*Close*
The man that was barking orders then closed the door of the vehicle he came out of. He looked around and counted all the men.
"Eighteen (18) men?" He inquired to himself. "Tsk! I have to deal with this much?"
"LISTEN UP! WE'RE GOING TO MARCH INTO THE COMPOUND, IMMEDIATELY! ANYTHING THAT ISN'T HUMAN, KILL IT!" He barked.
"Jeez! Like we don't know that already," said a male.
"Yeah. This guy just loves to use up his voice box," another said.
*Step*
A masculine person walked up towards the man who was shouting deafening orders.
He raised his hands, point them left and right and inquired, "Yow! Why the hell yo voice so loud?"
"WHY DID YOU SAY?!!" The leader asked with an even louder voice.
"Goddamn," the guy said calmly. "Bro, I didn't know you voice could get bigger."
"ARE YOU MOCKING ME?!!" The inquired with fury in his voice.
"Nah. I'm stating the obvious," The youth said.
"Grr," the leader then began to growl beneath his voice at the young youth.
He started walking towards him while puffing like he had ran a mile.
"Dr. Kuwobasa?" Maki asked.
The two were inside his office. They were discussing about the group they had send to retrieve the money.
"What is it, Maki?" Kuwobasa inquired.
"Why did you send Sean as the leader of the group you send?" inquired Maki. "You know that his a guy with big speeches. It take them more longer to retrieve the money."
"Simple. He has a big mouth, but he knows to keep a group under control," He answered.
*Slash*
The young youths throat was slice in between, and his body then collapsed to the ground.
Infront of him was Sean, holding a short knife in his arms which had a great deal of blood in it, as well as his hands.
He then asked, "DOES ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO STEP UP?!!"
All the men either stayed quiet or shaked their heads "no".
"ALRIGHT! MARCH IN!!" Sean ordered.
*Knock, Knock*
"Who is it?" inquired Kuwobasa from behind his desk.
A faint voice of Antonio answered, "It's be and Zach,"
He turned his seat around to face the desk. He then instructed his assistant, Maki to, "Open the door,"
She nodded in agreement.
*Open*
She grasped the door with her left palm and pulled open the door.
She peered outside of the room, to see both Antonio and Zach.
Maki looked up and down at the men, before saying, "Come in,"
The two men entered with no energy in their footsteps. Every step they took couldn't be heard.
"What do you two need?" Kuwobasa inquired.
"We need answers," Zach said.
"What answers exactly?" Kuwait asked. He was now leaning on the back of the chair while rubbing the bottom of his chin.
Antonio looked at Zach. Zach nodded, giving Antonio to say what he wished.
"Where has everyone gone to?" He simply stated.
Kuwobasa heart rate then eased with his inquiry. He was tense on what the two men were going to inquire.
What was he worried about?
"Oh," he said with a little hint of relief in his voice. "Most of them has been set on a conquest."
"Conquest?" Zach inquired while frowning his eyes in obliviousness.
"*Sigh* 이런 단순한 생각을 가진 사람들. (Such simple minded people.)"
Maki answered for the grieved Doctor, "He sent them to collect the money, that Hussain was trying to keep from us. They'll be back in a while."
"Oh," Zach said shaking his head naively. "Who is Hussain again?"
Maki scoffed at the two and commanded them, "*Ugh* Get out!"
"Alright, alright," Zach repeated. He opened the door and exited the room.
*Close*
Maki then turned her sights at Antonio, whom was still in the room patiently waiting natively. To him he thought that he had done nothing wrong so he had the right to stay unlike Zach.
"What are you still doing here?" inquired Maki.
He began to explain himself, "Ummm, I was just waitin-" but he was cut off by the unconcerned Maki.
"Leave as well!" she said, pointing at the closed door.
"Alright," he said with his head low.
His head was still facing the door as he opened the door and left.
*Close*
Maki scoffed once again, "Ugh!"
"*Sigh* Anyway," she said with a sigh and more calmer tone in her voice, "when are the others coming back actually?"
"Why are you asking?" Kuwobasa inquired.
Maki answered, "You already know. Sean talks too much!"
"That's t-true," Kuwobasa stuttered out.
He let out a sigh. The he rested his left hand on his forehead while looking at the ceiling. Kuwobasa inquired to himself, "(Why am I so stressed lately?!)"
*Slam!*
He then slam too opened hands on his desk and rose from his chair.
Maki fidget back at the loud unexpectedly noise. She stared at Kuwobasa, who seem to be in a blind rage.
*Crash!*
He then flip over his desk, making it crash down to the floor.
"Argh!!" He groaned while pulling his hair out of his scalp. His voice was full of agony, annoyance and rage. His face clearly showed stress and frustrating, and also anger.
"What's wrong with you?!" Maki urgently inquired to her boss.
*Bam!*
Kuwobasa paid no attention to his assistant and slammed his hand on the wall, leaving a miniature crack in the wall.
"Fuck!!" He screamed out loud. He continued trying to rip his hair out of his scalp.
Then he turned his head towards Maki. Seeing her confused state of mind, he tried to calm down.
He lifted his hands out of head, releasing his seized hair.
"Sorry," he apologize. "Can you please leave? I just need a little time to cool off."
Maki stuttered, "S-sure."
She hastily walked towards the exit door. She had beads of sweat on her face. Before leaving she inquired, "Umm, are you sure you're alright?"
"Yeah, yeah," He said waving her away with his hands.
He dropped his self on his luxurious chair, resting his head on his left plan.
Maki reluctantly agreed. She opened the door and then leaved.
*Close!*
The two of them on opposite ends, said at the same time, "Hopefully this is over soon."
