Saike Once Again 13

Just one more to go before I reach the end of series two. The next one is set to begin in spring so at most two months from now maybe?



Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
Take 13: Promise.

002
(Side text- Concerned about slanted eyes who did not appear at their appointment, Saike once again returns to “today”....however)
Saike: 11 o'clock.
I came an hour earlier than our appointed time at twelve....
So it's kinda obvious he wouldn't be here huh...
More like...
{I'll tell you the means of discerning power users.}
{Meet me tomorrow afternoon at twelve. Come to the Higashisakinaga station.}
{I'm the idiot for believing such a promise aren't' I?}
(Sfx- Zuuuun doooom)
{There's even the chance he's just skipping out on his side of the bargain.}

003
{H...}
{He came!!}
{Slanted eyes!!}
Saike: There's still an whole hour until we're supposed to meet....!!}
(Handwritten- He's surprisingly serious...!?)
{Huh..then why isn't he there at twelve like we agreed on?}
{Perhaps in the midst of waiting he started not to feel good and left?}
(Sfx- jari jari clang clang)

004
(Sfx- Jarih clang)
Saike: Eh?
(Sfx- Jarih clang)
(Sfx- Jari clang)
(Sfx-Jarihh clang)
(Sfx- Jari clang)
(Sfx- Jari clang)
{What's this noise?)
(Sfx- Jari clang)
(Sfx- Jari clang)
{It's headed toward slanted eyes...!}
(Sfx- Jarii clang)

005
(Sfx- Dogoooohh Thooook)
{Eh?!?}
{Slanted eyes?!}
{He suddenly fell over?!}
(Sfx- Doshaa thudd)

006
{What the...}
{What just happened?}
{Slanted eyes disappeared...!!}
(Sfx- Potohh tpp)
{Why?!}
(Sfx- Zaathh ssfft)
(Sfx- Kyoro kyoro spn spn)
Saike: Slanted eyes!!
Hey! Slanted eyes!!
{A normal person who's granted this power...}
{Would use it to satisfy their greed.}

007
{Truth is all of the ability users I've hunted up until now have all been the same. They used the powers they were granted for evil purposes...to satisfy their greed.}
{Ability users...}
{Is this the...}
{Evil ability users he was talking about?!}
{Why would the ability users do this to slanted eyes....}
{No that doesn't matter.}
{The reason why they would abduct him doesn't mean a thing.}

008
(Sfx- Baahhh fwaaaf)
{I just have to save him!!}
{I am a “Hero” aren't I?!}
???: Oh my. So you've opened your eyes have you?

009
???: I am Dr. Myuuton.
I have been researching “ability users” for several years now.
It's pointless for you to call for help.
We're at a location quite some distance from town you see.
{Another of this type...}
{Eh, it's just one after the other with 'em...}
Blondie: What do you want?
Are you one of the ability users I hunted?
(Sfx- Kyuu)
Myuuton: I'm sorry to say that this is the first time we've met.

010
Myuuton: And there is merely one thing I must ask you...
And that is how are you able to discern ability users?
(Sfx- Hah)
(Sfx- Hah)
(Sfx- Hah)
Myuuton: You're a surprisingly stubborn lad.
I thought for sure you'd make it simpler for me and talk..
(Sfx- Giri grind)
Myuuton: Too bad.
(Sfx- Kachah sfft)
(Sfx- Fuhh fwpp)
(Sfx- Dochaa Dhud)
Myuuton: That's fine.
Then, allow me to switch questions.
I'd like to know why you haven't once...
used...
Your
Abilities.
You know i'd rather like for you to use your abilities and struggle a bit.
It would be most helpful for my research.
(Sfx- Kui kui wiff wiff)
Myuuton: I have quite a liking for making moves like these.

011
Myuuton: So I wonder if you're underestimating me?!
(Sfx- Bunnhh Fwffft)
(Sfx- Dogoooh Thoood)
Myuuton: Ah, a clean hit.
(Sfx- Baki baki baki crack crack crack)
Myuuton: My power is as you can see to make things “invisible”....
After this power of mine awakened I've done all kinds of naughty things....
(Sfx- Guri guri wind wind)
Myuuton: But you know what? I think I've grown rather bored of using my ability this way..
(Sfx- Poi whff)
(Sfx- Kashaan clatter)

012
Myuuton: I've become rather fascinated by this now.
Special shaped torture rack weapons...
(Handwritten- But I suppose you can't see them~)
Myuuton: “The Invisible man” is a sci fi thriller masterpiece.
But in reality the Invisible man is only amusing at the beginning.
It's like something's missing after that...
There' something lacking from simple torture...
It's “conversation”.
I'd like to have a conversation with the one I target...
Yet no one can see or recognize an invisible man like myself can they?
(Handwritten- Though I guess you are now right?)

013
Myuuton: But then I realized...
I can just make my “weapons” here invisible....
It's surprisingly terrifying you know.
(Sfx- Bikushi poit)
Myuuton: The fear of having an unknown weapon injuring you...
It's shape and reach also a mystery...
Is it a bladed weapon...? Or a blunt one....?
Oh and the conversations are to die for...
“Who are you?”
“Where did you come from?!”
“What are you doing to me?!”
et cetra...

014
Blondie: So what...are you telling me...
that ability users should use their abilities to have fun...?
Myuuton: You don't think so?
Why....
(Sfx- Gakiihh sfftt)
Myuuton: Won't you use your abilities?!
(Sfx- Guuun)
(Sfx- Gakiiin clang)
(Sfx- Gaki gaki)
Myuuton: See? You're petrified aren't you?
I'm already aiming for my next “prey”.
(Sfx- Kyuuiiiii grinnnd)
(Sfx- Kachi kachi click click)
Myuuton: Are you sure you don't want to use your abilities in response?

015
Myuuton: C'moon...
C'mooon...
(Sfx- Kyiiiiiii)
(Sfx- Kyuiiiiiiiii)
Blondie: I....
Promised.
I made a promise...
That I wouldn't use my abilities for evil anymore.

016
{If I win...}
{Promise me!!}
{You won't use your abilities for evil again!!}
Saike: You won't recklessly harm other people!!
Blondie: I won't ever...
recklessly harm other people again.
Myuuton: Ah...Is that so...
(Sfx- Gachi gachi)
Myuuton: Then I suppose it'll always just be...
my turn!!

017
Saike: Nah. It's my turn.

018
(Sfx- Gatsuhh graaab)

019
Myuuton: Eh?!
(Sfx- Guuuh Guhhh grinnd griiind)
Saike: It's about here where if you use these torture tools that you're at your weakest right?
It's been a total bore watching it.
Myuuton: Who the devil are you?!
Where did you come from?!
What are you doing to me?!
Saike: Sorry to keep you waiting slanted eyes.
The hero is on the scene!!
(Sfx- Baaan)
(Side text- We've been waiting Saike!!)
