The beast within the beauty.
Chapter 1
He landed.
Where, he didn't know, how far he was thrown was another matter he didn't quite figure out yet. But Amai survived the fall. Looking about, he was no longer on the mountain. In fact, he was thrown a few miles away from it! Luck was on his side as he happened to have fallen in a pile of garbage of all things, yet he knew it could have been a lot worst.
Slowly, he stood himself up. His body ached from the change, that or Melee's right hook was a lot stronger than he knew. "What on earth happened? Where did that vortex come from?" he muttered.
He began to walk off the fall, his clothing were disgusting to him. He appeared nothing more than a street thug in them. When he made his way out onto the main street, people stopped and stared. "Amai Mask?" one woman asked.
He looked up and gave his infamous Hollywood smile. "Always a pleasure to encounter my fans on the street, how are you this fine day?"
She didn't say anything, instead she took out her phone and made a call. He didn't think much of it, until he started walking farther down the street. More and more people took out their phones and were calling others. He didn't quite understand what was happening, until a strange van pulled up. Four men jumped out and surrounded him. "Amai Mask, we have been requested by your manager to bring you into the closest hospital as soon as possible, do you object?"
He was a little confused on the matter, however he went willingly. Amai nearly forgot what Garou pulled earlier, when he was trapped in his body. His erratic behavior must have set off the panic button in his manager's mind. As he climbed into the van, it sped off to the hospital. One man was letting out a sigh of relief. "Must be something in the air today. We caught Genos earlier, his hair was blue and yet he wore the clothing you were last seen in… what are you wearing Mr. Amai?"
He peered down at his clothing, but then recognized the torn sleeves. He was in Genos's usual getup! "Oh… just something I threw on, you see gentlemen I was rehearsing for a role for an upcoming movie. A man is forced from his own body and into another. He has to try and get his way back to it before the love of his life is taken from him from the man who overtook his. I just… I had to get a feel for this character. Sometimes I tend to… go a little overboard on the notion."
"You caused a panic in the city!" one man protested. "Amai Mask, you got to tone it down, even if it is for a movie role, you got to warn the people ahead of time!"
"But, how will I get a genuine reaction? I have tried that many times before, no one ever take it seriously since they know what I am trying to accomplish. Again, my deepest apologize gentlemen, I won't do it again," he vowed.
They pulled into the hospital, Amai got himself out of the van and was quickly checked in. A team of doctors checked him over for everything, any sign of head trauma, glazed eyes, coherency, the whole nine yards. When he passed the exams, the main doctor sat him down and questioned his motives.
He once more lied about it all, claiming it was all for a movie and apologized once more for his actions. "I was rehearsing for a movie role, thank you for your assistance." He explained.
"I just want to make certain that is what it was Amai. The fans were worried about you!"
"Rest assured, I got it out of my system and have all the inspiration I need for the part. I do appreciate you assisting me in the matter."
The doctor nodded. They did a quick physical and found nothing out of the ordinary for Amai. "Is there anything you wish to talk about? Anything worrying you about your health?" the doctor asked.
He shook his head. "No, but I do have to call my manager and explain that I am done practicing for the role. Thank you doctor once more for your assistance and for your kindness."
Taking out his phone, Amai was grateful it was the one thing Garou did keep of his. He called his manager and asked to come pick him up. "Amai, are you okay? Is everything fine with you? Everything okay with your head?" he asked.
"It's fine, I am sorry about earlier, I was rehearsing… was I convincing?" he asked with a chuckle.
"You have me try to believe you were Garou, the human monster! Why him of all people?"
"Perhaps just to see people's reaction. But I am done with that now. Come and pick me up and let's finish the appointments."
He hung up his phone but realized he would have to change. Genos isn't one for fashion. As he made his way towards the exit doors, he began to feel strange. There came a sharp pain in his sides, he swore he felt something moving…
