Chapter 1
I was running through a warehouse.
"Are you sure that the monster is inside this building?" I asked.
"Yes, Serena. The monster is inside this building." my client said.
I was on a mission, to defeat a monster, which was hiding in a building.
The building was very complex, and it had a lot of doors.
I was communicating with my client through a phone.
"Where is it? Have you found anything on the radar?" I asked my client.
"Yes, Serena. The monster is very close to you, but it is dangerous. Remember, Serena. You're a sailor soldier. You can defeat it." My client said.
I stopped walking, and opened my ears.
I heard slight groaning.
Gotcha!
I headed towards a door, and pushed my ear against the door.
It sounded like a monster was grunting inside there.
I opened the door, and I shot a laser with my magic wand, without looking.
I heard a loud scream.
When I opened my eyes, I was shocked.
It wasn't monster.
The thing that I killed, was an innocent child.
Chapter 2
Officer Jenkins was sitting in his office, drinking tea and reading a newspaper.
It was a sunny day, and there was peace in the city.
That's what Jenkins thought, at least.
Suddenly, the door of Jenkins' office opened, and Jenkins' colleague, Brian, came inside.
"What is it, Brian?" Jenkins asked.
"He's back." Brian said.
"Who is back?" Jenkins asked.
Brian grabbed a newspaper, and showed it to Jenkins.
"JIGSAW KILLER RETURNS: MUTILATED VICTIM FOUND IN JAPAN." was written on the front page.
"You got to be kidding me." Jenkins said.
"It's true. We have to find the Jigsaw killer and capture him." Brian said.
"Are you sure that it's the real Jigsaw killer? Maybe it's an impostor.
The man known as John Kramer has already been dead for over a decade." Jenkins said.
"It could be." Brian said.
Chapter 3
When I opened my eyes, I was shocked.
It wasn't monster.
The thing that I killed, was an innocent child.
I killed an innocent child with my magic wand.
I sat on my knees, and I cried.
"Are you alright? Serena? Are you still there?" My client said.
I turned off my phone, and I put it in my pocket.
The monster didn't seem like a big deal anymore.
I was more concerned about the child I murdered.
I looked around, to see if there were any cameras filming me.
I really hoped that the child's parents weren't in the building.
Then, I realized something: That innocent child could've been a monster!
Monsters can disguise as humans, and that innocent child was grunting like a monster, so maybe was the innocent child that I killed, a monster!
I scanned the innocent child with my powers, to find out if he was a monster or not.
After a few minutes of scanning, I got the results.
"DNA: Human." My scanner said.
I cried again.
I really killed an innocent child.
But if it was a child that I killed, then why did I hear grunting?
Was there a monster inside this room?
I looked around, and I couldn't find anything.
Maybe it was my own imagination.
I hoped not.
I picked up the child's dead body, and I carried it outside.
I threw it in a dumpster, under layers of trash.
In a few hours, the garbage man would arrive with his truck, and bring all the trash to the incinerator.
That way, the child's body would never be found.
But despite the fact that I was able to hide the body, I still felt guilty and sad.
I went home, went to bed, and I fell asleep.
Nobody would find out that I killed an innocent child.
That was what I thought.
The next day..
I woke up, and I still felt guilty about what happened.
I walked downstairs, and the house was empty.
There was nobody home. I heard a noise.
"Who's there?" I asked.
Then, out of nowhere, a man with a pig mask popped up right in front of me, and hit me with a skillet.
I fell unconscious.
Chapter 4
The police arrived at an abandoned building, and they went inside.
They ended up in a basement.
The basement was filled with steam, and the floor was hot as hell.
There was a dead body on the floor, burned alive.
There was also a red, hot glowing key on the ground, that was heated by a burner.
Jenkins looked around.
There was a Jigsaw piece carved in the skin of the dead body.
"Looks like Jigsaw is back again.. and this time, he's deadly." Jenkins said.
"You sure it's Jigsaw? Maybe it was an impostor. Have you ever heard of the pendulum murder?" Brian asked.
"I know about the pendulum murder. I know that Detective Mark Hoffman was the man behind the pendulum murder." Jenkins said.
"It's getting a bit too hot for me.. let's leave!" Brian said.
They left the basement, and they went upstairs.
They ended up in another room.
The floor was covered in upright nails, and there was a man hanged to the ceiling, with his eyes sewn shut.
There was a key on the other side of the room, and there was, just like the previous victim, a jigsaw piece carved in his skin.
"Looks like that poor guy had to walk through the nails to grab a key, but he failed." Jenkins said.
There was a peephole in the wall of the room.
"Looks like Jigsaw likes to watch his victims as they suffer." Brian said.
"You know Jigsaw is dead." Jenkins said.
"Yes, but he had apprentices." Brian said.
"Yes, he had. Amanda Young and Detective Mark Hoffman are both dead, you know." Jenkins said.
"But I'm sure he has a third one. No one, except Jigsaw, could create traps like these. And shall I tell you who can be Jigsaw's third apprentice?" Brian said.
"Well?" Jenkins asked.
"Dr. Lawrence Gordon." Brian said.
Chapter 5
I woke up, and I knew that I was in a place I've never been before.
I was in a cage.
Right next to me, was another kid in a cage.
It was a boy, around my age, with blue hair and his body covered in tattoos.
He had the attitude of a criminal.
I started crying.
"WHY AM I IN A CAGE!" I cried.
Then, a TV screen in front of me lit up, and I stopped crying.
A man with blond hair, a striped shirt, a tie, a black coat and a prosthetic leg popped up on the TV screen.
The blond man started speaking.
"Hello Serena, I want to play a game.
Yesterday, you took the life of an innocent child.
Why did you do that? Did you truly wanted to kill it or was it an accident?
Today, we'll find out.
You have to go through a series of tests, to see if you have what's inside you to kill a child.
This is your first test, Serena.
Right next to you, is a kid named Norom Eguh.
He committed several crimes, including robbing a bank.
He's toxic, he doesn't appreciate his life.
There are 4 wires attached to your eyelids, two on the upper eyelids and two on the under eyelids.
That means that every time you blink, the 4 wires meet each other.
When this tape stops, the wires get under high voltage.
That means that once you blink after this tape stops, you die of electrocution.
But if one person blinks, the other person's wires get disabled.
To win this game, Serena, you have to take advantage of your opponent's failure.
That means that when one opponent dies, both cages open.
Live or die, make your choice."
The tape shopped, and I stretched my eyes out.
I didn't want to die.
Norom Eguh, my opponent, thought the same and used his fingers to stretch his eyes out.
It was very painful to keep my eyes as open as possible.
I didn't want Norom Eguh to die, but I didn't want to die either.
But then, I realized what the man on my TV screen said.
That Norom Eguh used to be a criminal.
I changed my mind.
My eyelids started to hurt, and I wanted Norom Eguh to close his eyes as soon as possible.
I grabbed a piece of broken metal from the cage.
"HEY NOROM!" I shouted.
Norom looked my way, and I threw the piece of metal towards his face.
Norom blinked, and he got electrocuted.
He died, and my cage opened.
I went outside, and I headed towards a door.
"Value your loved ones." was written on it.
Chapter 6
"Dr Lawrence Gordon?" Jenkins asked.
"Yes, Dr Lawrence Gordon." Brian said.
"How can he become Jigsaw's third apprentice?" Jenkins asked.
"Just look at the corpse that is hanging in this room." Brian said.
Jenkins looked at the corpse.
"His eyes are sewn shut. Only an advanced doctor can do that. Not only that, Dr Lawrence Gordon disappeared one day, and I heard rumors that he ended up in a Jigsaw game. Not only that, he reappeared later at a meeting for Jigsaw survivors.
And some of those that survive a Jigsaw trap, become a Jigsaw apprentice." Brian said.
"Yeah, SOME of those. It would be very random if Jigsaw chose Dr Gordon specifically." Jenkins said.
"It's just a theory. Not only that, after Dr Gordon disappeared, more and more Jigsaw victims looked like they underwent surgery before they ended up in a trap." Brian said.
"That's true." Jenkins said.
"So, do you think that Dr Lawrence Gordon could be a Jigsaw apprentice?" Brian said.
"Yes, you're actually right." Jenkins said.
"Well then, let's start the investigation!" Brian said.
Chapter 7
I opened the door, and I ended up in a corridor.
There were seven doors, and they were all numbered.
I opened the door with the 'Number 1' on it.
I went inside, and ended up in a large room.
There was a cage in the middle of the room, in the shape of a circle.
Sailor Venus was standing in the middle of the circle.
She had an armor on that was attached to the ground, making it unable for her to move.
Her body was in the position of a sword-swallower, and there was an umbrella on a rope in her throat, making it unable for her to talk.
I closed the door, and a TV screen in the room lit up.
The blonde man appeared on the TV screen.
"Hello Serena, I want to play a game.
In front of you, is Sailor Venus.
In this game, we'll find out if you have what's inside you to kill a minor.
I don't want you to kill her, because a human life is sacred.
Very sacred.
When this tape ends, Sailor Venus' armor and cage will both open in 3 minutes.
Unfortunately, she would be dead by then.
There is an umbrella in her throat, and once this tape stops, you have 60 seconds to get the umbrella out of her throat.
If you fail to do so, the umbrella opens in her body, causing your comrade to choke a painful death.
To get the umbrella out of Sailor Venus' body, you have to do this:
Right behind the cage is a wheel.
The wheel is covered in upright nails.
If you manage to do a 360 degree spin on the wheel, a gear gets activated.
When that gear gets activated, the umbrella gets pulled out of her body.
Let the games begin."
60 seconds left..
The tape stopped, and a timer counted down.
I tried to climb over the cage, but it was electrified, so I got a painful shock.
I headed towards the wheel, but I didn't want to spin it, because it was covered in nails.
I slightly touched the nail, and a sharp pain went through my body.
50 seconds left..
I carefully grabbed the wheel while trying to avoid the nails, which was hard.
It was very sharp and cutting.
I tried to spin it a bit, but it was heavy, and I stopped because a sharp pain went through my body.
40 seconds left..
I looked at Sailor Venus.
She looked helpless.
I decided to add more adrenaline, grabbed the wheel, and tried to spin the wheel as hard as possible, while trying to ignore the pain.
Not only the wheel was sharp and covered in nails, it was also heavy, and it clamped a bit.
30 seconds left..
I did manage to spin the wheel for 45 degrees, but I stopped because the nails cut very deep in my flesh.
I looked at my hand.
It was impaled and covered in blood.
20 seconds left..
I tried to pull the wheel once again while trying to ignore the pain.
I managed to pull it for 135 degrees.
But there were still 180 degrees to go, and my hands were tattered and exhausted.
I released the wheel, and I fell on the ground, exhausted.
I looked at the timer.
5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. 0.
The umbrella opened in Minako's body, and she choked to death.
"I'M SO SORRY!" I cried, and the tears streamed down my face.
I shoved my face in my bloody hands, and I cried.
The TV screen lit up.
"Your friends are waiting." The blonde guy said.
I stood up, and I left the room, in tears.
To be continued..
Will Serena save her next friend? And will Jenkins and Brian arrest Dr. Gordon?
You'll see it in the next chapter of 'Jigsaw Goes To Japan'.
