A/N: Hey guys. Since it's holiday I still have a chance to make this chapter. Here is chapter 24 with a little bit of drama for Rose telling the whole thing about Jin's release.
Chapter 24: Good Things and Evil Deeds
Arriving at the large pile storage room, they see Asuka and Mariana who are waiting for Rei. Asuka was happy that the both of them were alive and Mariana finally ask Rhima.
"So tell me, how did you release Jin in your PSP? I need to know about what just happened." Mariana asks Rhima about this as she explains.
"It was that time that I was upset; I was playing my PSP using Jin in the game to play the Tekken Bowl. Suddenly, someone just tells me something and a strange light comes out of nowhere. Now it figures that, he just easily comes out in my PSP."
"A strange light…" Mariana noticed about the light the same light as Ralphie's releasing Jinpachi.
"I was freaked out that time that he was come out. I'm really thinking what I should do to him. I felt that my wish was granted." Rhima said as she lowers her head. "Before I released Jin, I was the popular student in UP College of Education were some boys are crazy about me. But the girls in my class were jealous about me."
"Oh…" Jin felt sad to her when he listens to her story.
"Before I get home, some of the girls were gossiping about me. They say that I have no boyfriend ever since in 5th year. I've been overhearing their gossips most of the time. When I heard about what they said, they really think of me as a fool to them."
"Rhima…" Rei became sad to her.
"It doesn't matter if I have no boyfriend. I'm just being a fool to them…" Rhima said as she lowers her head again.
"You don't have to say that, Rhima…" Jin shouted as they looked at him while he stands up. "What you did is the right thing. Those girls were just jealous about you and besides, you are not a fool to them. You are kind, simple and a gentle person you can't say some things like that."
"Jin…"
"When you get a boyfriend very early, you can't focus on your studies. As I heard that you don't have a boyfriend. I know that you can focus on your studies. Not like they were gossiping about you." Jin said encouraging as Rei steps in.
"Jin was right, Rhima. You're not a fool and besides we understand about what you said."
"Does this mean Rhima was popular?" Asuka cried dramatically. "What about me? I'm not popular because I was breaking fights in my place. That's uncool…"
"You're getting over-dramatic, aren't you?" Jin reacted.
"Thanks you two… I knew that you make me feel happy." Rhima said smiling.
"Now I understand, choosing characters in the game could release it afterwards." Mariana calmly look on Jin. "You must be Jin am I right."
"Yes… why do you ask?"
"I know that you were the only one could stop Jinpachi. I beg of you please stop him." Mariana pleads him as he accepts.
"All right, let's find Jinpachi…"
"Before that, we have to find Ralphie first." Rei said with a serious look on his face.
"I almost forgot to tell you. Rei used to be heir in this company after the late CEO died. In fact, he is an expert marksman." Mariana said as the three were shocked while looking at Rei.
"So that's why he has a gun on his hand…" Asuka reacts at the moment that Rei has a gun.
"That's right; he was trained by his father before he passed away." Mariana explained.
"Wow, I didn't know that he can shoot guns…" Rhima said pretty shocked and Mariana comes up to him.
"That's why I love his features because he is looks like our late CEO." Mariana said while embracing on Rei, putting an episode behind him.
"Uh…Could we go now…? I hate if I see you two like that." Jin said while looking at them in embarrassment.
After the conversation, they defeat the silver men wielding a sharp buster. After that, they made to the throne room as Jin bust though the door using the Corpse Thrust. With this, they found the room is empty as Ralphie appears in the scene behind them.
"Well well, if isn't Cashimiro. I've been expecting you that you came…" Ralphie knew about Rei as he points a gun on him.
"Shut it… pal. You're evil deeds are all over? Just given up already?" Rei said angrily.
"Hmph, you are just like Keiya as well. For you my plan will be capturing the characters and stored in the computer systems. Ha… you're days are really over for all of you. Come my son…"
Ralphie's son Reggie Mendoza appears in the scene who got brainwashed by his father as Jin sees this.
"You use your own son as a pawn to you. How dare you doing this to him…" Jin becomes enraged seeing Ralphie's own son becomes a pawn to him.
"Now, released that person right now…" Ralphie orders his son to release the character in his light green PSP as it glows on a white light as it flashes on everyone in white.
A/N: But who's the character that Reggie releases? Who is it? Find out in my next chapter of The Strangest Things…
