[Congratulations! You now have 16 women in your roster. All there is to do now is mark them all with a True Love Sigil.]
"The first stage is complete!~ Now that you know that you can mark women using your Passion Trait, I can officially say that with a marking like that...sex with those women will hit them ten times harder than it normally would because they will strongly desire you more," Passion said, her voice filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"Although we have our clear differences because we are TOO much alike, I can say with a Passion and Lust combo, it does hit a lot harder. Both of us offer Pleasure Inducement, it's just...one of us actually works off Love and me, well you already know what I do." Lustie chuckled then floated toward me.
I looked at Passion and Lustie, giving them both a warm smile. "Well since I know how to effectively use my ability better, I'm sure I can work more efficiently."
I checked the time and noticed I was running a bit late then grabbed my keys. "Alright, let's go. We're gonna be a bit late."
"Yessir!~" Lustie giggled, floating behind me in her tiny companion form.
"Right behind you, Master~" Passion said as she flew behind me in her companion form as well.
[Day: Tuesday]
[Time: Morning]
[Location: Matsugaya University]
I walked onto campus, prepared to sit with Gloria and the others, but before I could get my morning plans in motion, I noticed Mark, Eric, Caden, and Jake walking toward me, a few eyes watching as they approached me. I knew I was entering an inescapable encounter and let out a soft sigh.
'Here we go...and I was just starting to enjoy the peace I had around here...' I thought to myself, as they were now in front of me.
"Yo! You think you're hot shit huh? Messing around with our sisters now?" Jake said, shoving me back.
I sighed and shrugged my shoulders, keeping my composure. "Womp womp, my guy. Besides...after what you all did to Whitney last week, I should give you all the same treatment, but that would make me the bad guy now wouldn't it?"
Jake shot a glare at me after my response then stepped forward. "It doesn't fucking matter...back off our sisters and we'll leave you alone."
"No," I said, my voice low, filled with disdain. "In fact...I have a date with Jessica after my classes are over. If you want me to leave them alone, you'll have to kill me and we all know how that went last time."
Jake clenched his fists, his anger only rising. He took a swing at me, but I caught his fist, giving it a tight squeeze. Jake grunted at the strength in which I gripped his fist, trying to pull away.
"Big mistake," I said then landed a swift punch directly on his face then pushed him to the ground and stomped on his chest. "Things have changed..."
I crouched down and gripped his shirt, staring directly in his eyes. "I could make you bite the fucking curb. I could stomp you out for everyone to see...however I don't want to take away what pride you have left in your pathetic soul.."
Mark noticed Jake's body had tensed as he stared at me in the eyes. 'I tried to tell him...We can't beat him. Why are they still adamant on this..? Am I the only one who actually sees this..?'
I let Jake go then stood up and looked at Caden. "And you...I fucking despise you. I hate you even. What you did will never leave my mind," I said then walked toward him, placing my hand on his shoulder and leaned into his ear.
"If Whitney wasn't there...I wouldn't have hesitated. Remember that next time you or your buddies approach me, it's on sight.." I whispered then shoved him out of my way, walking toward the building to cool down.
Eric helped Jake up and watched me walk off. Jake checked his face and noticed his nose was bleeding. He growled then got off Eric.
"We're getting him after his classes are over...no way I'm just letting this slide." Jake said.
'How much more humiliation do you need to go through before you finally understand? Why am I not saying anything..?' Mark thought to himself and looked at Jake and Eric. 'After that day...I can't shake this feeling...We went too far that day. Kidnapping was out of my moral compass, and kidnapping Whitney...an innocent girl who's done nothing to us. What am I truly doing..?'
Whitney, Gloria, and Amber watched the entire ordeal go down then began to worry. Although Whitney has seen my rage, she still worried about me.
"We need to tell Professor Akira.." Whitney whispered to Gloria and Amber. "I can tell by the look on Jake's eyes that they are gonna try to attack Shiro again.."
"For sure...Like how much longer are they gonna keep this up?" Amber said, letting out a soft sigh. "Those pricks even made Shiro mad to the point he completely ignored us."
Gloria watched Mark and his friends wander off, twirling a strand of her hair around her finger nervously. "I say we let this happen."
"Are you crazy?" Whitney asked in shock of Gloria's suggestion.
"I just noticed Mark's face. He is in deep thought, like he's fighting some revelation within himself. If anything, stopping this would only prolong this stupid mess. As much as I don't want this to happen either, something's gotta change and with Shiro's wins growing..this could change Mark and hopefully change his friends," Gloria said, her gaze shifting between Whitney and Amber.
Amber began to think and crossed her arms. "Chelsey did say she doesn't know what happened to Mark either...Even Caroline is worried about him because she said Mark was never like this before coming here. It's like his fame changed him. Maybe if Shiro wins, something will happen."
Whitney was more worried about what I would do to them over what they could ever do to me now. She has witnessed my prowess when I saved her. She didn't want anyone to get hurt too badly or worst case scenario, didn't want anyone to be killed from this fight.
"Alright, but if it gets too bad, I'm telling an authority figure," Whitney said.
The three made a deal to only get a staff if the fight got too hectic then the first bell rang. The three got up and walked toward their classes.
[Day: Tuesday]
[Time: Afternoon]
[Location: Matsugaya University]
I yawned as I walked down the halls, preparing to go home and prepare to go to Sanctuary City to meet up with Jessica at her dorm. As I walked down the hall, I noticed Mark leaned against a locker seemingly waiting for someone. Mark noticed me then stopped me by placing his arm in front of me.
Mark got off the lockers then looked me in the eye. "If you go out there, they will be waiting for you. Their minds are set and it'll be a three on one."
"You're warning me why?" I questioned, my gaze firmly meeting Mark's.
"Listen man, I don't care that you're dating my sister as much as they care," Mark said then let out a soft sigh. "Those knuckleheads don't understand they can't win. Their pride...their egos are too big and I realize my flaws after last week when they kidnapped Whitney."
"I'm sorry for the shit I've done to you, man. I truly am. I'm sorry for what they did to Whitney. After seeing how happy you made Melissa yesterday...you aren't as bad as I thought you were," Mark said.
I scoffed at Mark and crossed my arms. "And which beating made you realize that? Which encounter finally made you realize your mistake? Was it the one after you nearly ruined Ashley's life? Was it the beating when you attacked me first after finding out about me and Aubrie? How about at Jake's house? You had so many fucking chanced and now you want to apologize?"
"I know I did you and so many people wrong. I do understand it. I went on an entire power trip since I've been here...and I haven't noticed it until now, but I've lost everyone I used to love. The only one I have left is Melissa and I don't want to lose her too.." Mark said, lowering his head, clenching his fists. "A rift is between us right now and—"
"Stop," I interrupted then placed my hands in my pockets. I let out a soft sigh and collected my thoughts before speaking. "I can tell it's taking a lot out of you to apologize to me and I can tell you actually mean it. If you really want to prove that you're sorry then help me fight those knuckleheads. Drop them. They aren't the people you need to be around. If The Syndicates come after you as well... I'll help you deal with them."
Mark watched as I walked past him then looked down, having a difficult choice to make. He had been friends with Jake and Eric since his highschool years and he knew it wouldn't be easy to just drop them, but he also wanted his old life back. He wanted an escape from this madness he's living in.
I made my way outside and noticed a crowd outside and in front of me were Jake, Eric, and Caden. "Once again with the jumping. It's the same song and dance each time and frankly it's actually pissing me off! It's like you know you can't win if I was given the faith of a one on one."
"Like you deserve that right, freak!" Eric said. "After all the shit you've done—"
"Everything I've done was retaliation since you're too blind to see! You're just as blind on the court as you are outside, and that's probably why you can never make a shot anymore," I taunted, chuckling at my own insult toward Eric.
Some of the onlookers gave a chuckle from my joke which pissed Eric off even more. Even Lustie and Passion had a little laugh from the insult.
"We've got a comedian all of a sudden," Eric said, his voice cold and low. "Alright, punk. This time we know your moves."
"Oh brother, now he's talking like a corny movie bully," I said, hearing the crowd share a laugh.
Eric bristled from my comment then walked forward. "We'll see who's gonna be laughing after this!"
I dropped my back and checked my watch. 'Man these guys really know how to slow me down..'
[Right. End this quick, I'm trying to watch some love making and not you clobbering these fools for the millionth time this Volume.]
"And you all get mad when I break the fourth wall!" Lustie scoffed, getting off my shoulder with Passion.
I looked at Eric and noticed he was already throwing a punch then swiftly weaved his punch then began to evade each punch he threw. The onlookers cheered and began recording the fight, hyping the fight up. With each attack dodged, the crowd exclaimed with "ohhs" and "whoas" followed by a few excited laughs.
I could see Eric now throwing random haymakers, but I dodged the heavy blows as well. I heard footsteps behind me then ducked, under Jake's attack, chuckling softly. "For a football player, you're rather slow. Must be all that junk and alcohol in your system ruining you!"
Jake fell for my taunt, going for another attack, but someone stopped him by grabbing his wrist. Jake looked back and noticed it was Mark. Gloria, Amber, and Whitney all looked surprised as well from Mark's action.
"What the hell are you doing, man?" Jake asked, wondering why Mark stopped him.
Mark looked at me then shifted his gaze back toward Jake, turning him around and striking his face. Jake groaned, stumbling back then groaned as Mark struck him with a body shot. Eric was caught off guard by Mark's betrayal.
"Yo! What—" Eric began then groaned as I struck his face, knocking him down.
[Mark's heart has been stolen.]
"Your Heart Stealer worked! It actually changed Mark!" Lustie said with genuine surprise in her tone.
Caden watched with his arms crossed then sighed. 'Something told me he would betray us after he began to grow distant...I should call Lane...Nah, I should handle this myself like Lane would.'
Caden ran forward to Eric's aid then pushed him out of the way, going for an attack but I easily evaded it and began to study his body language. With fluid movements and calculated steps, I began to dodge each of Caden's attacks then Mark rushed forward and struck Caden in his face, making him stumble back.
"No way Mark is actually helping Shiro..!" Aubrie said in complete awe.
"I know, it almost feels like a fucking dream!" Ashley replied, closely watching from the table they sat at.
"Let's see how you like it when you're getting jumped now.." I said then rushed forward, striking Caden with my knee.
Mark noticed Caden stumble back then ran behind him and held him up.
"Hit him with that Sweet Chin Music!" Lustie said and laughed.
'For real?' I thought to Lustie, a sly smirk playing on my face.
"Hell yeah! Shit we're winning anyway, time to experiment, Partner!" Lustie giggled and rubbed her hands together.
I gestured for Mark to push Caden toward me and he did, but Caden had other plans. As Caden lunged forward with a fierce strike, I swiftly sidestepped, ducking under the attack and positioning myself behind Caden. Once Caden turned around to look at me and with a swift motion, I leaped into the air, my leg extending in a perfect arc as I delivered a powerful Sweet Chin Music straight to Caden's jaw.
The impact sent Caden staggering backward, his eyes widening in shock as he stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud. The unexpected move left everyone, including myself, momentarily stunned before erupting into laughter and cheers at the absurdity of the situation.
"Holy shit that worked?!" I exclaimed as I found my balance once again then looked over at Mark.
Mark was also surprised and couldn't help but to chuckle. 'This guy is always full of random surprises. Hitting a wrestling move mid fight is pretty insane...'
After my marvelous attack and the laughter died down, Mark and I were victorious and soon noticed security and Akira running up. The scene even shocked them to see Mark and I were not fighting each other, but fighting his friends together.
"You two helped each other?" Akira asked in confusion and shock.
"Well I can't say I did as much work as Shiro, but yeah. I've realized my wrong doings and I want to apologize to everyone for what I've done. If you're planning to give me detention, I'm fine with it.." Mark said.
Akira looked at me, her eyes basically asking me what she should do. I looked at Mark then looked at Akira then gave her a smile, shaking my head. Akira smiled back then shrugged.
"Judging by the situation...I'll just let you off with a warning. At least you made a choice to change..." Akira said, giving Mark a smile.
Mark smiled back and nodded then looked at me, extending out his hand. "Truce?"
I looked at Mark then took his hand, symbolizing the start of our brotherhood. "Truce..."

I checked my watch then realized I was going to be late for my date with Jessica. "I have to bounce. I'll catch you later."
Mark nodded then watched me hurry off. 'Even after everything...He still makes time for his dates. How does he even keep up with all of the women he has?'
"Yo Mark! That's how you're gonna do us?! You're just gonna turn your back on us like this?!" Jake yelled, his voice emotional from Mark's betrayal.
Mark looked at Jake, seeing how hurt he looked. "It hurts me too, but...this life I live, it ruined me. Coming in contact with Caden and The Syndicates was the worst mistake of my life. It ruined my life, cost my friendship with Chelsey and Caroline. Costed my relationship with my own sister. It took the bit of light I had within away. I needed to change something if I wanted control of my life back and that change was myself."
Jake watched Mark walk off and struggled to escape the Security's hold. "Mark! Mark, don't you just walk away from us! Mark!"
Caden watched Mark walk off then reached in his pocket to get his phone, but noticed it was missing. He grunted softly and searched around for his phone. 'What..? Where...is my phone..?'
Passion giggled softly as she unlocked Caden's phone as she floated behind me. "Taking this was your best idea, Seductress..~"
"I'm always thinking five steps ahead. I kinda figured the only one who has main contact with The Syndicates would be Caden...so by taking away his only way of contacting them, he can't hurt Mark for now.." Lustie said.
'That's good...Plus now we have access to all of their plans. One of you pretend to be Caden whenever Lane or Axel texts him, and we go from there. We're saving the Sanctuary City Girls... including Naomi and Chloe.' I thought to them both.
"Roger that, Partner!~" Lustie chuckled, taking Caden's phone from Passion's hands. "Passion, you can sit there and look pretty. The main duo will handle this."
"Fine by me~" Passion shrugged and smiled.
