Somewhere in a poorly lit room, a group of six bald men in suits were sitting hunched over a round table. They seemed to be in middle of planning...something. Finally, one of the six stood up straightening his tie.

"Gentleman, we have the location of the boy we've been looking for."

The room was filled with whispers like "The Conduit?" or "Where could he have been?"

The one holding this meeting walked up to a map, "He's been spotted here. Hiding in a small village called Hinamizawa."

Another man spoke up, "What is our next course of action?"

Everything was silent, no one moved until... "Isn't it obvious?" No one responded.

"We blow up the ENTIRE COUNTRY!" The man's face suddenly lit up to reveal crazy eyes and an insane toothy smile, he pulled out a remote with one big red button and pushed down on it with all his might. The room around him exploded as he laughed and laughed and laughed.

"Wake up you lazy ass!" A female voice rang in my hear, pulling me out of my dream. "We're going to be late! Get up!"

"Well...a good morning to you Shion..." I groaned still dead tired,

"If you dont get ready soon we're going to be late for school again! Geez, I don't understand why you stay up all night."

"I told you...I get so into that manga your sister gave me. It's actually really interesting you should give it a read."

Shion brought her palm to her face, "Fine, I'm leaving without you."

"Okay okay I'm getting up."

Seven months have passed since we're encounter with Takano and her watchdogs or whatever they were called. After that whole incident, Hinamizawa has been very quiet. It's been so quiet in fact there was no crime happening at all! So with the free time I now had I began going to school here. Shion and my other friends have been teaching me some japanese to help me understand the teacher when she teaches. I've also moved out of Rika's house and moved in with Shion's apartment in Okinomiya. I figured Rika's place already had three other people living there and it'd be an inconvincence if I stayed there too. But Shion comes from a rich family so I dont feel as bad for freeloading.

As we were walking to school we meet three other familiar faces. One being Mion, Shion's sister and the current head of the Sonozaki family. Her grandmother passed away three months ago and Mion inherted the family name. You would think being the head of a mafia family you'd have a tight schedule, however Mion had made a few trusted members of the family to run things while she was away. The other was Keiichi Maebara, the magicain of words is what we call him for his uncanny skill of talking his way out of a sticky situation. He's also been trying to recruit me to be a Black Demon Brother or something...? I dont know, I didn't really understand anything he was saying at the time. The last person was Rena Ryuugu, the cute and somewhat odd girl. Ever since her van she kept her 'treasure' blew up she had to find a new hiding hole to place them. Eventually, she settled for a small car for now. It's not as roomy as that old run down van but hey beggers cant be choosers.

"Wake up late again _?" Mion had called out to me,

"Yes he did. I swear he's so hopeless." Shion shot me an annoyed look, my only response was to shug my shoulders. "You know if you hadn't had saved my life that one time you would have never moved in with me."

"Well, hey look on the bright side. if you decide not to pay your electric bill I can always be your back up generater."

Her face went from annoyed to amused, "That's true, maybe your not so hopeless after all."

"Oh would you two just kiss eachother already!" Keiichi teased us, "You two already act like a married couple."

"Shut up Keiichi!"

"Your so mean Keiichi." Rena laughed,

We all continued to walk the path to school, joking around and having fun. Crazy how I got here seven months ago, twenty or so years in the past, on the other side of the world, and somehow getting electric super powers along the way. I would have never thought my life would be this insane and yet so good at the same time. I hope it never ends.

After school we had no club activity, Shion had to work and Mion had to do mafia...things. So, everyone began to go home, while my normal friends had to walk on a rocky path I took the powers lines straight toward the city Okinomiya. It was quick and easy for me as I do this everyday after school. However, I couldn't ride them all the way home; there were no powerlines around Shion's apartment. When I came to my usual spot I jumped down on landed on the sidewalk below. I dusted myself off and started walking. I noticed something strange though...this area is usually pretty busy. But no car or person in sight. After observing my surroundings for a bit, I found the answer why these streets were so empty. In front of me was a woman dressed in nothing but white...Shiroi Akuma. I haven't seen her since her fight all those months ago, my guess she admitted she was beaten and left Hinamizawa. I guess I was wrong. It doesn't make sense though...why come back after disappearing for seven month? Preparing her next plan to take me down?

"We finally meet." She spoke in her same cold tone as before,

"You have a lot of nerve showing your face to me." I cracked my knuckles,

Shiroi only responded with a blank stare, "There's no need for violence. I just want to talk with you."

"Talk? After you've killed Yoshihime? After you've tried to kill me in five different ways?" Clearly I was pissed after all that NOW she wants to talk, "I think we are way past that."

"Just here me out. It's rather important and it could save you a lot of heartache in the long run."

I mauled it over for a few minutes and decided why not? If I dont buy her bullshit I can always put her down. "Fine, just keep it short."

"As I told you before, something is coming here. Something very dangorous and your not ready to face it...you never will be. However, with my help you may have a fighting chance."

"So...you want to train me or something."

"Yes. I also want to flex your powers a little bit more. Your still weak compared to most conduits I've faced."

"Hey, kicked your ass."

I could make out a tiny bit of annoynce in Shiroi's face, "Flexing your powers takes some time however I have a way to speed up the process." Shiroi pulls out a humming glowing purple rock, "With this!"

"What exactly is that?"

"A blast core, just pass an electric current through it and the energy within will flow through you."

"And I'm just supposed to trust you with this? How exactly do I know this isn't a bomb or something? In fact...how do I know this training plan isn't really just a plan to get me killed?"

Shiroi was silent for a good minute until she finally just handed me the blast core, "You can use this for yourself and give me your answer. I'll be on that roof tomorrow awaiting for your answer."

The blast core vibrated in my hand, it definitly had some kind of strong energy flowing through.

"Make sure you activiate it once you get home. You dont want to do here someone may try to rob you while your unconcious."

"Uncon-" Before I could finish she disappeared, I took one last look at the blast core before heading room.

I sat at the kicthen table, staring at the blast core. What should I do? Should I really trust Shiroi of all people? Would it really make me more powerful? I pick the blast core up again, I can feel it leeching on to me as if it was alive.

"Ah, screw it. If this kills me I'll just haunt Shiroi as a ghost." I stood up form the table and stood in the middle of the room. I took a deep breath and passed a current through it. Suddenly, my body feels like it's burning. My whole body was emitting electricity, zapping everything electronic in the room. As time passed the pain just got worse and worse until it stopped. I slammed into the floor and my vision was going black.
