Chapter 0
...
It was pouring down with rain, it started off like a light shower and then got heavy. Most people had already retreated to their homes or stayed someplace where they would not get wet. The rain continued towards the evening and then nightfall.
In the rain ran a teenager, his large and tall frame got him wet made his umbrella mostly useless because it was much smaller than him, unlike most teens this young man is not just Japanese but also Mexican which explains his "foreign" appearance. His shaggy brown hair covered his eyes as he absentmindedly splashed through another puddle with a strong intention to get out of the rain. He squints his eyes underneath his shaggy hair, an attempt to try and see through the heavy rain, he could just about do that. Suddenly one of foot treads on a loose shoelace, he involuntarily lunges forward and his guitar case is flung towards the riverbed. The teenaged boy picked himself off the ground whilst sighing quietly, he tucked in the shoelace in his socks.
He knew that he should have taken a coat before he left the house but, he was under the impression that summer hasn't arrived just yet. Yastora carefully made his way down the wet grass to the bottom of the hill where his case fell. He reached for his slightly muddy case, but just then he heard a noise, he turned to the Karakura Bridge, it was dark but he could hear something...something like a person in pain maybe?
Yasutora picked his case, he slowly walked towards the bridge.
"Stop...please..."
At that second lightning struck illuminating, the area momentary. Yasutora froze, he couldn't believe what he just saw.
The puddles of blood and water-filled deep scar-like holes in the muddy ground where a person laid on the ground missing an arm. Looming like a storm cloud, a monstrous creature wearing a bone white mask with splats of red on it, and in its giant human-like hands was a caged bird. Yasutora stared without noticing the two orbs staring at him, like lightning, the creatures enormous hand connected with Yasutora's head.
"N-NO" Cried the caged bird, "You said you wouldn't kill anyone else!" The bird flapped its wings in a fragile outburst.
"SHUT UP" The monster roared, the bird quickly fell silent, "I can fuckin' do whatever I want. I'm not gonna take orders from some dead kid, besides, you lead him here didn't you?" The monster burst out in laughter which then a mad cackle. The bird lowered its head shamefully.
Suddenly the monster was hit hard on its hulking body, and to its surprise, knocking it back towards the bridge making it drop the caged bird on the ground. The punch belonged to Yasutora which made the monster widen its yellow orbs.
"...What..what the hell?" The monster's orbs darted around the scene, first it looked towards the birdcage on the floor. The area momentarily lit up again, the monster looked up and its yellow orbs widened.
"W-What the fuck!" Suddenly, the monster was grabbed by its leg then it was dragged through the muddy ground and seconds later it was flying through the air before it hit the water.
An unexpected gust of wind howled and tore through the sky, in an instant, it got rid off all the clouds in the sky. The moon shone its lesser light over the entire town and some of its light shone under to bridge.
"I got two lives left," Yasutora said whilst looking at a Game Gear, he scanned the area, he saw the now dead body and the bird in the cage, he approached the caged bird, then picked up its cage.
"I heard you speak before," Yasutora looked at the bird, "are you okay?"
The bird just stared at Yasutora with its beak parted slightly as if it were in shock.
"Y-Yeah... wait... didn't he take your head off?" The bird asked.
Yasutora nodded.
"Then ho-"
Yasutora immediately looked to his right where the river is, the water burst upward and from it came that monster with the mask, its yellow orbs now glowing brighter and its face-like mask now appearing angry.
The monster clenched its fist and lunged forward aiming at Yasutora. Yasutora pressed a button on his Game Gear and then white sparkles appeared around him. The monsters fist hit, and a huge shock wave blew away everything around it. Unaffected by the attack, Yasutora put the birdcage down and attacked with an uppercut launching the monster up in the air and then Yasutoa checked handhelds screen and quickly selection more options and then he jumped meeting with the monster in the air and then with his free hand swung at the monster's mask.
"AHHHHH" The monster shrieked, holding its cracked mask.
Before Yasutora could attack again, the monster sunk into the ground in a pool of black shadows.
Yasutora bent down and picked up the caged bird and held his game gear in front of it.
"A game gear?"
Yasutora nodded, "Its the source of my power."
"That's so cool!" The bird said overjoyed, "Thank you, Mister."
"Your welcome."
