THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU [welcome to shibuya]

[KeyBlade-Master1]

Riku's eyes widened as the frogs were summoned,

"W-What the hell are you?" Riku's eyes shook as he stared at the wolf. But he soon smirked as the girl ran away,

'At least she's safe. But now I'm screwed.' Riku thought mentally. The wolf ran for the girl yet again, and now the frogs motioned towards him as Riku stepped away slowly. The frogs leaped forward and Riku quickly jabbed one of them sending it flying. The other striking him in the stomach, Riku grabbed his stomach as his rib cage screamed in protest.

"Ugh! W-What are these things?" Riku struggled to ask himself. He stood up and kicked the final frog clean in the face. The two frogs evaportaed in a black smoke,

"Now, where'd that wolf go with that girl?" He heard a shriek as the wolf held the girl by her foot.

"Shit! Let her go!" Riku dashed towards the wolf.

As the guy next to him ran forward, Zakuku was hit with a stone, as perfectly round and sturdy as the one he just threw. "Hey, you. No interfering in someone else's battle." a man yelled from behind him. Zakuku grasped the back of his head, and then turned around, fire burning in his eyes. Zakuku ran forward toward the man, and was going to go and punch him.

Cam looked back. Looks like Shouten found a Player. "Lucky son of a . . ." She wasn't going back. Turning around, she kept walking forward. She had to find someone else to mess with . . . fast. Because so far, being in Shibuya was turning out to be a waste of time.

She stopped momentarily yet again to turn around. She counted how many Players there were. Looked like three so far. And since Cam had just spotted Kage, it looked like the ratio was 3:2. That wasn't good odds, now was it? Before Cam did anything else, she just waited to see what would happen next. Maybe luck would come by, and one of the three Players would run into her. If that happened, the day would get a lot interesting.

[Imperial Chaos]

Shouten's headphones were once again blaring with music when they started to change colour. From their bright appearance, they instantly turned dark with a graffiti-esque type design in the middle. Crouching slightly, he jumped forward and planted his hands to the ground initiating a handstand. "You need...to be...FASTER!"

His legs were split open to the side and he spun at an insane speed which caused a miniature tornado to appear. Each 360 degrees spin, he would go even faster. He kicked the boy in the chest several times before backflipping to his original positiona and thrusted his fist forward and into the boy's jaw. "Feel the beat of the dance..."

[Takushi Rena]

Kusari gave one final kick, a hard enough one that pulled her foot forwards and out of Kage's grasp. Quickly, she once again scrambled to her feet and watched as the boy named 'Riku' kicked one of those frogs right in the face. She felt so worthless as she watched that, having simply run away from the wolf rather than fight it. But, of course, she wasn't normally the one to fight; she was normally the one that sat on the train line and played video games. And this was most definitely not a video game.

Still, she knew she had to try to get this thing to back off!

The wolf growled once more, golden eyes flickered as it lowered itself to the ground. With haste, the creature jumped forwards. However, the girl squinted her eyes and simply kicked where Kage's mouth would be, with as force as she could possibly muster.

She hit the wolf-like creature right in the face! Kage went tumbling to the ground, looking rather helpless this time; something new for this thing, wasn't it?

Though she was rather triumphant of her attack, Kusari realized that 20 minutes had already passed. There was only 40 minutes left! Hastily, the tomboy ran straight for the scramble crossing, waiting in the big crowd awaiting to cross. She pocketed her cell phone and that pin and waited impatiently to cross, glancing all around as she waited.

Yet, there was a hand. A tight, touch hand that latched on hard to her wrist. Pulling the tomboy backwards out of that crowd and back into the sidewalk.

What now?! Kusari growled, something she wouldn't normally do at all, and glared up at the tall figure hovering over her.

"Oy," the man gave a wicked grin, "You thinkin' you gonna take off, kiddo?" The figure had a hood hung over his head, covering his face in a dark shadow impossible to see through. However, of the part of his face left uncovered, you could see a nice red swelling spot next to his mouth.

[KeyBlade-Master1]

Riku's eyes widened and he smiled,

"Nice,she dealt with that wolf nicely!" He continued running down the sidewalk and passed the wolf,

"Later looser!" He continued running and he gradually began tos low down as he saw the hooded figure grabbing the girl,

'What is with this girl? Is she like a magnet for trouble or something?' He picked up his pace again as he watched the hooded figure grab the girl. Riku stopped a few feet away, some sort of invisible force stopped him from getting too close to them.

Riku stopped close enough to listen to what they were saying. The man enveloped in a dark cloak, a tall intimidating figure.

"Who is this guy?" Riku whispered to himself, " I only have a little bit of time to get to that store. But I can't just leave that girl there. Urgh!" Riku told himself.

[Azura]

Cam laughed to herself. Now this is fun, she thought as she ran to catch up with Kage and the other two Players. This was fun. Trying to make the weak suffer really got Cam psyched. She followed the trio into a crossing, where there were many people. There was one little boy Player who had mangaed to not get Kage's attention yet. However, he did get Cam's. She wlaked casually over to the boy, a wicked smile playing over her face. She bent down and whispered in his ear, "How's the game so far?"

[KeyBlade-Master1]

Riku was startled and jumped back slightly,

"W-Who are you?!" Riku asked. His eyes narrowed at the figure, it was a feminine figure. She didn't seem harming, but looks can be descieving. Especially with all these monsters and cloaked figures.

"The game?! You mean this is all a game to you people?! This game is no fun alright! Look, I had to fight two frogs. While that girl almost got tore limb from limb by a wolf! THIS IS NO GAME!" Riku shouted. He was very agitated by this woman, what kind of people would do this?

[Azura]

Camaruka smiled at the Player. "Such a naïve little boy you are . . .," she said in a pathetic voice. The female patted his head, a gesture of showing him how sorry he he was to her. Her moment of kindess was a short one, though. In an instant, her voice turned cold like ice, and her pitiful expression turned back into a disgusted look.

"Of course this is a game! What, you actually think this is how normal days in Shibuya are? Sure, this place is the most stylish place in the world, but come on. Now, I would go into the basics of telling you how this whole game thing works out and what you're doing here, but . . .," Cam began to dig in her pocket. "I'm afraid you won't be able to even go that far in the game to actually need the info. Hell, you probably won't even finish your first task from the looks of it. Can't even protect one girl."

She glanced over at the hooded man and the girl. She knew the hooded figure was Kage, but she did not know if the boy knew that already. She decided to keep quiet about it just to make things more interesting.

After burrowing in her pocket a while longer, Cam took out a small wrapper with red and yellow polka dots on it. She unwrapped it, revealing a small, red sucker. Cam popped it in her mouth without hesitation. After all, it was cherry - her favorite. "Well, anyway," the girl pressed on. The sucker in her mouth made her talk as if she had a swollen cheek. "All I know is that you've just made my day. Now that I've met you, I think this stay here in Shibuya will be more enjoyable. I was just looking for a Player to beat up on."

[sephiroth2]

OOC: Wow, you guys did alot for only starting.

-----------------------------------------------

Above all the fighting that was raging, a lone tall figure watched each and every fight with increasing glee. "This is going so well!" he said to himself, with a huge grin on his face.
The figures attention, was suddenly brought to a boy, who was facing Cam. At that moment the boy yelled.

"The game?! You mean this is all a game to you people?! This game is no fun alright! Look, I had to fight two frogs. While that girl almost got tore limb from limb by a wolf! THIS IS NO GAME!" This suddenly took the grin from the figures face clean off, the moment he heard the boy say this.

"Of course it's a game!" the figure's voice said, which seemed to broadcast everywhere at once, in a calm yet threatening tone.

[KeyBlade-Master1]

Riku gritted his teeth,

"Don't pat my head, I'm not a child." He said in a defiant tone. The strange woman suddenly put a cherry sucker into her mouth as she began talking again. She was really starting to agitate him, but one thing she said triggered something inside him.

...You can't even save one girl... Riku's eyes widened in terror.

~~~~

Eight Years Ago...

At a nice suburban neighborhood a squad of medical cars and police cars screeched to a halt in front of an apartment building. Riku's apartment building, the medics rushed inside as the police set up yellow tape.

"Oh no! How could this have happened?" Riku's mother yelled out. A young girl, two years younger than Riku lay on the ground, eyes frozen open. Riku's mother dug her face into her husband's, who just looked on with disgust at his own daughter's death.

Riku's eyes were wide as dinner plates, his own sister dead? He couldn't even save her... He can't even... save one...girl...


~~~~

Riku's stared up, tears at the corners of his eyes. The woman rambled on about how he didn't even know aobut the game and he would make it far. This angered Riku as well, was he not intelligent?

The last thing she said surprised Riku,

"What do you mean beat on? I'm not your punching bag lady! And watch, I will save her. I won't be helpless. I won't be useless. I won't just stand by and watch. Not again!" Riku dashed towards the girl and the figure.

[Zangetsu]

OOC: Dear God I'm late...*dives in*

IC: Quck steps rummaged on the concrete as Seanu made his way toward the requested destination. He had been sprinting for what seemed like fifteen minutes. Looking at the strees signs he noticed that he was only a few blocks away to 104. Suddenly he stopped to ponder at what just hapened. Leaning up against the side of a rather large building he adjusted his hand to make a fist to cover his mouth.

What is this? A game? Randmly getting swallowed by my shadow and thrown into Shibuya. Awesome.

"Of course it's a game!"

The words seemed to echo into Seanu's head. Now things were really geting weird. He backed away from the facade of the building and continued to 104. Cutting across another street, Seanu was stairing straight in the face of a fight. Or a pathetic excuse for a fight. Although there was something unusual about these people. No one seemed to notice what was going on. Could these be other Players?

He looked at the time on his phone, only four minutes had passed since the resting point and his present arrival. The 104 store was now in his sight. But he could also help out these other Players. Oner or the other?

"What do you mean beat on? I'm not your punching bag lady! And watch, I will save her. I won't be helpless. I won't be useless. I won't just stand by and watch. Not again!"

Watching the boy rushing toward the other fighters, Seanu couldn't help but to intervene. Only watching for a short period of time he could tell that even with their combined strength, they would not be able to even scratch their foes. But heck, was it worth a try?

Coming from around the corner, Seanu rushed at the hooded figure with full force. Vaulting off of a nearby bench, he cocked his arm back and shot it forward aiming at the hooded man's face only hoping to get a clean shot.



Bad idea?

[Takushi Rena]

She didn't have any clue of what to do. Once again, she had no idea; she didn't know if she should run the opposite direction again or try and summon up the courage to say something. The former sounded like a better idea.

First, Kage thought Kusari was a joke. She just stared up at him for a minute or so and then tugged her arm backwards. She had no avail in escaping his tight grasp and it just got tighter after her pathetic attempt to run off. What did this guy want anyways? He couldn't have been that wolf; people can't turn into animals! But that swell next to his mouth said otherwise. Maybe, if he actually 'was' that wolf, then he was trying to get payback. Though, he knew he was just trying to be a distraction so she would fail this game; just like what everyone else was doing!

"...ta heck? What're ya doin', kid?" the shadowed figured snapped as Kusari tried once more to jerk her hand backwards. It got stronger with each time that she pulled her arm back, and finally...

"Hey!!"

With haste, Kusari jerked herself around and noticed that boy from before; the one that kept on yelling at the wolf and got attacked by those frog things. He was coming this way after he screamed at someone and, though rather hesitant, Kusari ran straight towards him. The signal was green. People were walking across. They just had to get across this time!

Reluctantly, she reached out her hand and grabbed Riku's own. She spoke rather hesitantly, sounding rather shaken as she did so; she wasn't really used to talking to anyone, after all.

"C-C'mon!" she quietly exclaimed, so much that it was low into a whisper. Trying to drag Riku along, Kusari made a run for the scramble crossing, trying to get out into the street and into the crowd of people before that guy noticed. But, of course, he already did.

"Cam!" Kage's voice was reduced to a whisper, as if he wanted to keep Cam's name a secret, and he shot an electric glare over to the Gamemaster, "What'd ya do that that for!?"

Kage gave a very annoyed grumble, just as two shadow-y blob-like shapes went out into the scramble crossing; straight after Riku and Kusari!

[KeyBlade-Master1]

"Thanks, ummm... girl." Riku smiled as he turned back ready to taunt the two figures. His grin turned into a scared frown,

"Damnit! Come on, we have to run faster!" Riku began running faster, like for his life. The girl was now the one being dragged accross the street. They made it to the side walk but the creatures were still gaining. Riku looked down at his cell phone,

"We don't have much time, forgot the creatures! They are harmful, but slow. They won't catch up to us if we run! Whaddya say?" Riku stuck his cell phone into his pocket, waiting for the girl to respond to his proposal. The creatures were making their way to them. Riku's eyes narrowed,

"Hey, those are different. Those aren't the frogs, those are faster than the frogs!" He hesitantly grabbed the girls hand and jerked her down the sidewalk, on the way to the store. He saw the sign for it and let out a big sigh of relief, even though their on the same block. Doesn't mean their there yet, and the creatures are gaining up fast.

'Shit.' Is all Riku could think.

[Sora_Rox_My_Sox]

OOC, sorry my computer was down, so i missed alot.

Akira found herslef being pulled by the ebb and flow of the crowd. For the past year, she had lived on the streets of this city, yet now, she had no idea where she was. The ringer on her cell went off, and she opened the phone. "Hello?" she said. Nothing answered. "What the-" She stopped in mid sentence. She had gotten a text, not a phone call. Boy, now i feel smart she thought bitterly. She opened the text, it was from an unknown sender.

You have 60 minutes to get to 104, or face erasure

This was too lame. She deleted the text, and ran through the crowded streets. 5 minutes later, she got another text.

You have 55 minutes to get to 104, or face erasure

Now this person was starting to bug her. "Fine, i'll go. God, they are persistant." She said to herself as she pushed through the mob of people. The street signs pointed her to the right dieraction, and after only 15 minutes of walking, she thought she was within a block or two of 104. The cross walk signal was green, and she was making her way across, when she bumbed into a young girl and boy, both frightened out of their mind. They pushed past her and kept running, as if they were being chased by death itself. Ok then, i wonder what thy're up to... she thought. She hurriedly jogged towards 104. The girl and boy were sprinting way ahead of her, and it looked like they were all headed to the same place.
