Alright Khoi, you wanted something to follow up; and here you go. A bit of a time skip. You know what happens in between, but I'll have to flesh that out in a future post. Actually, two time skips. You see what I mean when you read this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The treacherous sunrise wiped away the annoying sweat drops clinging to Michael’s face as his motorcycle sped through the highway. “Goddamn kiddies stole my rent money, and I’m going to get some money if it’s the last thing I do,” thought Michael as he chomped down hard on his cigarette. Michael’s motorcycle roared as if it were singing a song throughout the landscape with the tall city skyscrapers in the rising sun vanishing as the pristine, clear color of ocean set with cliff-covered roads ahead appeared as he drove on. Each cylinder shot out cloudy, dark smog as they roared louder when Michael furiously gripped harder and harder on to the acceleration.
“Speed Demon! Status report on the two onis.”
The motorcycle suddenly prompted a screen in front of Michael. “Not so good. The students from the academy have just engaged in combat with the red oni. Blue oni is still in the clear,” said a pattern of moving lines on the screen.
“What a sick place,” thought Sawako bitterly as she held on to Michael. “Sending the students to their death by making them go through bounty heads that no student could survive for their ‘resources’ as punishment… What’s even more disturbing was that they’re constantly looking for excuses to punish their students and put them right under their sweaty palms right where they want them…” Suddenly, she embraced her savior softly as she rested her head against his firm back as his eyes looked onward and furiously towards the beach. Their new find, Bubbles the Chimp, held on to Michael’s back.
“Michael, my database informs me that red onis seem to be prone to physical attacks and have high magic resistance and with blue onis, the opposite.”
“Spare me the bull. You think I’d know this by now, yeesh.”
Suddenly, Michael saw a rather short girl with long black hair and light hazel eyes with a sniper rifle lying on her lap sitting on the edge of a cliff and immediately recognized who it was. Immediately, his motorcycle tires screeched as he turned the speeding motorcycle to a perfect stop.
“Hey,” said Michael calmly as he waved towards her.
The girl didn’t even bother to turn towards him.
“Are those your friends over yonder,” asked Michael as he let the smoke from his cigarette rise into the orange sunset as he pointed towards a distant beach with a forest nearby.
The girl nodded.
“Shouldn’t you be with them,” he said with a smile as his head turned around quizzically.
The girl acted as if she didn’t hear.
“The cold and antisocial type, eh? Well, I’ve got quite a proposition for you, Ms. Aurora,” said Michael with a smirk.
“…”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sawako, how're you doing with the cargo?"
"Good."
Aurora's unconscious, tied body lie on Sawako's lap, as if she were sleeping. She had this sort of look on her face that seemed at ease and gentle. Something about it seemed so peaceful. Just the thought of the young girl asleep behind him was such cold, fighter seemed to make Michael smile on the inside. Now, Michael gripped down harder on the handles of Speed Demon's motorcycle form, and the roar grew louder as a large trail of smoke followed behind Speed Demon. Michael's very passions were ablaze, as his heart raced fast as he headed onwards to the beach. Nonstop rapid thumps beat through Michael's body- anxious to arrive at the scene. With the blink of an eye, the hillcovered seaside had become the sandy beach with many large hills to the side was stretched ahead of Michael's eyes.
"Goddamn kids, I won't let them steal another bounty like they did with the demon in the academy and the red oni," Michael thought to himself.
Suddenly, a loud roar could be heard. "The blue oni," thought Michael. "I'll be right on schedule this time, just you brats wait."
Michael got closer and closer until the blue oni hit his line of vision, and as Michael approached a cliff, he gripped as hard as he possibly could. Suddenly, Speed Demon roared louder than ever and let off a trail of ink blank clouds rising up in the air as they barreled through the cliff at 500 miles per hour and launched up into the air. For a moment, they just hung and soared into the air as Michael yelled "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!". Suddenly, Mimoto along with a grown man and someone who appeared to be another student looked up at the spectacle. Suddenly, everyone all knew what to do, as Michael and Sawako leapt off the bike- as Sawako grabbed on to the body of Aurora and Bubbles the Chimp clung to Michael's face while Michael grabbed on to Liberian Girl. Mimoto, the student, and the man all ran off far to the side.
Suddenly, the bike barreled straight into the blue oni: not even strong physical resistance could overcome a force like that. "Jump on-" The blue oni was pushed back and reverted into liquid. "Switching to cryo ammo." Bubbles raised a finger and despite Michael being unable to see with the chimpanzee on it's head, he could feel it was pointing behind him. Michael turned around rapidly, with Bubbles sensing the demon was starting to form behind him.
Michael fired chilled, icy bullets into the miasma behind him; which suddenly crystallized into ice. Shells dropped out from Liberian Girl, as new bullets formed inside of Liberian Girl. Michael shot a series of bullets; forming a smiley face in the ice.
Suddenly, the oni emerged and even more enraged than before. It dug its hands in to the nearby cliff and mustered the strength to pull hard enough for the entire cliff to have come out.
"Oh boy, I wasn't expecting this," thought Michael as he chuckled. No way to escape it. The boulder would crush him if the oni lost its grip of it if Michael were to kill the oni, and if he let it hit- well, he was good as dead ninety nine times over. Michael couldn't run either, the demon- although struggling, could let the boulder to collapse on Michael without Michael being fast enough to outrun the falling cliff. "Oh boy!" was the only thing Michael could think about. "That'd be a pity- dying against this random B- demon, wouldn't it?" thought Michael. "Although I've been pretty happy lately that I've got part of my sister and I know how I can get the rest of her back, I've still got a small score to settle with Liu Haojun and the Red Dragon Syndicate to get the rest of her back- and only then am I a truly fulfilled man who can die happy; and that bastard- The All Knowing Being." Suddenly, Michael had an idea. "Switching to explosive bullets," Michael whispered.
The demon, seeing Michael's laughs and smiles, roared and began to release its grip on the boulder to drop it on Michael. Michael pulled the trigger right, aiming for the lower half of the cliff. Suddenly, it ruptured and broke into giant boulders; and the entire cliff gave way and fell on top of the demon.
"WHO'S BAD?!," yelled Michael.
"You know!" cheered Sawako.
"You know!" yelled Michael.
"You know!" cheered Speed Demon, to the side after being launched at the oni.
"You know!" yelled Michael.
"You know!" yelled Liberian Girl.
"We've been here too long, and we've got our bounty taken care of as soon as we got the kill. C'mon, let's go- I take it that these fine people have their eyes on us," said Michael.
Michael hopped on the front of Speed Demon as a motorcycle again with Bubbles hugging his back as Sawako got back on with Aurora in tow. With that, they were off.
After driving for a while, Sawako asked, "Shouldn't they have noticed about Aurora?"
"I think they might have just been so confused in the heat of the moment that they weren't sure," said Michael.
"Who was that man with them? He sure didn't look like no student," Liberian Girl inquired.
"Mimoto's sugar daddy," sneered Michael.
Everyone burst out into laughter. Suddenly, Michael approached a cathedral in the center of the city.
"Wake up, sleepyheads," Michael said in a bubbly voice as he, Sawako, and Bubbles walked inside with Speed Demon back in gun form and Liberian Girl in hand.
A few voices muttered with a sleepy vengeance.
"Ah- I forgot some of you were nocturnal- silly me," said Michael playfully.
"Don't worry- those of us who aren't nocturnal are up, Michael-kun," said a tantalizing, seductive voice from the shadows in a playful tone.
A woman in an ornate black gothic dress with a corsage of roses emerged from the shadows. Her long hair was a deep blood red; and as she walked, her hair seemed to sway. Her soft white skin seemed a tad pale, but it seemed to glisten even in the darkness; giving a certain natural luster to her skin. The black dress seemed to showcase her mature figure well: every curve of her body, the slender legs, and her chest. More prominently as a feature of her, however, was her black bat wings behind her back and protruding from her head. She let her long, sleek finger slowly run down Michael's chin as she looked him in the eye with a confident, mesmerizing look; and backed off.
She smiled at Michael for a second with her eyes shut, and turned it to the side; and as she opened her eyes, she saw him grin and laugh. "Koakuma, where is 'she'?"
"Staring at the stained glass at the alter."
Michael waved goodbye to his companions as he had personal business to take care of. "Oh, and lie Aurora down somewhere where we'll wait for her to wake up. We've got the advantage of the comfort of being on home turf, and this time- hopefully she decides to hear our proposition the whole way out. Yeesh, a personality like hers is hard to deal with. We just want her to actually listen." Michael walked up to the alter to see an expressionless android with pink hair staring outside of the stained glass.
"Hello... Annie."
