Chapter 20: Yuuto and Keito

Just like Ali said, Gabriel wakes up somewhere in the world in front of a dome similar to the dome back in Marseille. He walks in, searching for who ever he was supposed to find. He wanders around the multiple buildings before finding a middle age man wearing a yellow scared oni mask sitting in a corner alone. That's who Gabriel is looking for.

Gabriel: Hey, I'm here-

Oni Mask Man: G-get away from me! I'm not doing anything! I'm innocent!

Gabriel: Hey, don't worry I'm not trying to hurt you-

Oni Mask Man: I said get away from me!

With a swipe from his hand, the man blast Gabriel away with a wave of sand before getting up and running away. Gabriel chases after him.

Gabriel: Wait I'm here because of Ali!

Oni Mask Man: What? How did you know I was here because of Ali? You read my mind didn't you?!

Gabriel: No, just listen!

Gabriel is blasted away by another wave of sand as the masked man runs down a hall. He becomes cornered and Gabriel slowly aproach him.

Gabriel: I just want you to hear me out.

Oni Mask Man: K-Keito, help me!

With that, the man stands up straight. He swipes his hand across his face and the mask instantly changes, from a yellow scared looking oni mask to a green smiling oni mask.

Keito: ...

Gabriel: ...

Keito: Yuuto you idiot! He literally told you he's with Ali and you still attacked him?!

Gabriel: What?

Keito: Man, you gotta stop being so paranoid. Sorry for that idiot, you said Ali sent you right?

Gabriel: Yeah...

Keito: So your a friend! Nice to meet you, I'm Keito, the idiot I unfortunately share a body with that you had to deal with is Yuuto.

Gabriel: I'm Gabriel. Sorry did you say 'Share a body with'?

Keito: Yeah, there's 4 of us but Yuuto is usually the one in control. He's a stupid scaredy cat that doesn't trust anyone.

Keito switches back to Yuuto with a swipe of his hand across his face.

Yuuto: S-sorry, I have a hard time trusting new people. You said Ali sent you right? That means his plan is going into motion.

Gabriel: Yeah, he didn't give me much more information before sending me here.

Yuuto: Well it's time to deal with WH1T3, the head B.0.T. here and steal back Ali's ability.
