Injustice 0.1
Masquerade: (scoffs) this is just like you Aikawa, getting others to do your dirty work for you
Six: (looks at Aikawa)You have people who are going to kill the kid? Why would you do that?!
Aikawa: (smiles sinisterly) You're not supposed to question me alright? You're just supposed to take orders, you should actually be thanking me since I'll be the one to do the dirty work you can't do...after all I'm helping you get rid of a witness. (Moves closer to him) Just because boss has taken a liken to you doesn't change the fact I outrank you
???: (Lands behind them) But I outrank you. And he is my subordinate
Aikawa: Ugh A'ghoul, it's you(visibly disgusted)
A'ghoul: (notices Aikawas facial expression) Be as angry as you want to be about it but boss gave me direct orders to take care of six and make him feel as comfortable as possible... which means (glares at him) you have to respect him!
Six: (looking at him) Good evening senior paladin A'ghoul
A'ghoul: (chuckles with his eyes closed) You know you could just call me Jenovah, there's no need to be so formal
Six: I'm afraid I cant do that. You're looking out for me sir and going out of your way just to help someone who's not even the same rank as you are,I have to show you my utmost respect and gratitude (kneels and bows his head in gratitude)
A'ghoul: (smiles) Look, the whole thing wasn't really out of my way....(looks at him) but I do need to talk to you tho…(chuckling nervously) Just please get up now, this whole thing isn't necessary
Six: If you say so sir (stands)
A'ghoul: (groans) Again with the sir? Look when were both on the same side we shouldn't have to fight each other bout anything when were both just trying to achieve the same goals. People usually don't get this because they place labels on themselves like bad guys but we aren't bad guys. Were just people who are doing what we have to so we can see our dreams realized. So it isn't only "good guys" who can support each other
Shiva: (amazed) Oh Jenovah your so wise and hot (clears her throat as she blushes) ....I mean strong..... is there anything you cant do
A'ghoul: (sighs) There is one thing
Shiva: (expectant) Yeah? what is it?
A'ghoul: (Stares intensely) I can't understand why you're speaking to me so casually.... Who told you that you could call me by that name and speak to your superior like that. Watch your tone, I outrank you!
Shiva: (terrified) Yes sir…A..Apologies for the lack of respect
A'ghoul: (smiles) I was just kidding (laughs loudly) You took that too seriously, (patting her shoulders) you're just one rank below me so there's no need to get all serious. Please relax (wipes his eyes) if I scared you I'm sorry you can call me whatever you want
Shiva: (chuckles nervously)
Masquerade:(Rolls on the floor as he laughs hysterically) Oh my God shiva. You should have seen your face
Aikawa: I hate every single one of you, you know that right (grinds his teeth)I hate you all!
Six: (looks at Aikawa,thinking) he isn't even going to hide his hatred
Masquerade: (sighs in relief) Get over it Aikawa, so what if he is favoured by the boss? it's not like he's let it go to his head and it's not like he cares, so what exactly is your problem?
Aikawa: (pissed) you really want to know what my problem is huh ill show you then (claps his hands together) Materialize and Extend: Su…
???: (Cuts in) And just what exactly is going on here?
Everyone: (quickly looks at the man and is shocked).
A'ghoul: (shocked) Mr salt?!
Six: (shocked) Boss!
Shiva: (stunned) welcome back sir
Mr Salt: (moves to her side with his eyes closed while smiling)Ah Shiva, its good to see you. (Looks at her) Have you changed since I last saw you? (Staring at her chest with meh eyes) It seems you have matured bit
Shiva: (blushing) Mr salt, please don't tease
Mr Salt:(Laughs loudly, slightly chokes on the smoke of his cigarette) I guess I am teasing you just a bit (Notices her attention is focused on what's behind him) is something the matter Shiva?
Shiva: (nervous) Oh…Nothing at all sir(grins widely)
Mr salt: (smirking at her) I know your really itching to see your battle sister Minerva. Don't worry she's missed you just as much but was too excited to come inside
Shiva: ( grins intensely)
Mr salt: Well, what are you waiting for (laughs). Get out there before she does something stupid
(Shiva instantly runs out to go meet her friend waiting for her outside with a lot of joy inside her while the others walk towards Mr Salt, go on one knee and bow their heads )
A'ghoul: (looking at the ground)Mr salt, its good to see you sir. I didn't think you were going to be returning so soon
Mr salt: (sighs) You know how those meetings usually run so I didn't waste my time there (looks at six) and I had to come back as soon as possible after I heard about Six's success I immediately dropped everything I had planned just so I could come back and congratulate him
Six: (also looking at the ground) I'm honoured sir but there was no need to do that. I'm sure your presence was much needed there than it is here. And I do not deserve all this praise sir
Mr salt: (moved) As usual, so modest. I hope my children will be like you some day if it isn't to late for me already. But you should still feel accomplished for the feat you just performed
Aikawa:(bites his lip and squeezes his fits so hard it starts to bleed )
Six: I guess it wasn't that small
A'ghoul: See? You got to take a compliment every now and then. Take pride in your accomplishments
Mr Salt: I heard that they didn't even use their most powerful attacks. It must have been because you struck them down too quickly (pats him on the back)
Aikawa: (pissed) Yes,while he was able to defeat the retired blacklists he failed to take out just their son
A'ghoul:(sighs, whispers to himself) You will never stop, will you?
Aikawa: (satisfied) I'm guessing you didn't hear about, that did you Sir?
Mr salt: (looking st him) I didn't (removes his hand from six's back then looks at him) Is this true six? You didn't kill the child?
Six: (sighs) No I didn't Sir
Mr salt: (with darkness covering his eyes) And why didn't you?
Six: Because I have principles and it goes against those principles to kill children. And besides that I was to injured to keep on fighting so I retreated
Mr salt: (sighs weakly) Words fail me
Aikawa: (smirking) I can understand how disappointed you are that he failed to kill a little boy Mr Salt. But I assure you that right now I have a group of people workin…
Mr salt: (interrupts him as his eyes become teary) I'm very proud of the decision you made to spare the boy,six!
Aikawas,Six and A'ghoul: (shocked)
Me Salt: (cleaning his teary eye) it shows how you truly are different from normal people. If we threw away principles where would we be? I respect that decision and I'd like to recruit that boy!
Aikawa: (opposing) Mr salt, you cant possibly be serious! The boy is....
Mr salt: (looks back at Aikawa with a lost expression on his face)
Aikawa: (struck by fear,looks downward) S...Sir,the boy is the son of one of the people we targeted and he saw the person who killed his parents. He's going to want to run a knife through our backs before he joins us, the boy is filled with hatred towards us there's no way…
Mr Salt: (smiles with his eyes closed) Precisely! He is filled with hatred, hatred that they will try to lock up inside him but he will be looking for where to direct it. (Pointing to the air)The more we interfere with him and the people around him, the more that hatred will build up inside him untill he explodes eventually. At that point he is vulnerable to manipulation, suggestion and deceit. We can use him rather than dispose of him
Aikawa: (tightens his fist) But sir…
Mr Salt: (ignores him) It will be difficult without a doubt, his morales and code would need to be twisted as well. After all, he was raised by the first and second blacklists. But since I have faith in the boys potential like I do in you, Six ,and it was you who killed his parents successfully. I'm handing over the task of recruiting him to you, do what you must and take all the time you need (to all of them) you can all get up now
Aikawa: (Thinking as he stands) this cant be happening right? It just can't be, I know it.! I know Mr Salt didn't just intentionally make me look useless right? He didn't just disregard my advice,did he?! No! I get it now, this must all be part of some master plan of his. Yes, yes, yes that's it, its the only logical explanation. I have to make myself relevant now or Six will steal the spotlight from me forever.. I…
A'ghoul: (grabgs Aikawa by the shoulder and whispers into his ear) I know what your trying to do Aikawa, I can tell by the way your face has been. what your thinking and planning, stop yourself now (walks away) before I stop you
Aikawa:( with his head bent to the ground, thinking) I hate you A'ghoul! I hate you!..
Mr Salt: (to Aikawa) hey Aikawa, provide six with what ever he needs to make his mission successful
Aikawa: (grunts) and that stupid Six! You won't get in my way!!
Back on Dejo island Miss Keen is being questioned by Detective Daisuke
Daisuke: (clears his throat) Now run this by me one more time
Miss keen: (with her hand on the table) Its just like I've been telling you. Yamato isn't responsible for the death of his parents
Daisuke: I'm sorry but I can't believe that just because you say so, the evidence says other wise ,there are no signs of the things you have been telling me. There were no signs of poisons, traps or daggers at the scene of the crime and the male victims body only had burnt marks on him, other than his arm being ripped off there was nothing else unusual
Miss Keen: (Gets up and pushes the table) That may be true for the male but the female victim, there's no way you won't be able to see it even if she was a little burnt she has 2 stab wounds and they are both around the heart...
Daisuke: (cuts in calmly) I'm sorry ma'am, but some parts of her are too burned to be able to identify such injuries, in fact she's too burned to even be properly examined
Miss keen: (thinking as she sits slowly) this doesn't make any sense, they weren't that burned when we found their bodies, they were both still recogniseable. Something must have happened (to the detective) don't you think this is a little fishy?
Daisuke: (looking at her)what do you mean?
Miss Keen: (adjusts herself on her seat) look, I'm being honest with you detective, when we got there their bodies were still recogniseable, this all doesn't add up don't you see that?
Daisuke:(thinking)...This woman is on to something, someone is definitely trying to make it look like this kid did it and is going through extremes to do so. Then there was that strange call I got from judge Russo with those strange orders. I want to believe her... but I feel she herself is holding out on me so she has to come clean herself so I can help her (to Miss Keen) look, lady even if I were to believe you, I know there is still something you haven't told me, you have to spit it out or all your claims are a waste.
