Location: Hinamizawa
It was a normal and bright sunny day in Hinamizawa.
Touma, Rika, and the rest of The Afterschool Gaming Club (Keiichi, Rena, Mion, Shion, Satoko, Satoshi) were on their bikes as they were given and upgraded by The Doctor as they went down the road of the mountain slope and enjoying the sights of the warm countryside while talking about their earlier trip to Okinomiya for a day at the pool, with Rika enjoying every second of it, while The Doctor and the others (Shinichi Kudo, Kyon, Sota Mizushino, Lelouch Lamperouge/Lelouch vi Britannia) along with a Certain Exiled Royal Sister (Nunnally Lamperouge/Nunnally vi Britannia) and a Certain Tag A Long Aspiring Magician and Future Thief (Kaito Kuroba) were too busy fixing The TARDIS for a relative amount of days to weeks to months due to constant power failures and trolling so they were unable to come with them at this time.
As The Afterschool Club were driving their bikes throughout the mountain road, an interesting and humorous conversation began to take place among them all.
Mion: "Yahahaha! I, Sonozaki Mion, will forever regret not bringing a camera today."
Rena: "Huuuh! Rena doesn't need a camera; she's burned that into her eyes! If I close my eyes, Keiichi's cute fur comes right up... Haaaa."
Rena closes her eyes as she imagines it while Keiichi reacts to it and turns towards her.
Keiichi: "Ahhh! Don't let that image be coming up to your head! I'll file it right off those eyelids of yours if it does!"
Then Shion joins in the coversation.
Shion: "Hehehehe, Kei-chan is sure fired up every now and then, especially when it comes to being the but end of the joke."
Satoko turns her head backwards as she joins in on the conversation.
Satoko: "I guess even Keiichi-san's fast talking is helpless in our special-rules version of strip rock paper scissors!"
Keiichi turns foward to Satoko.
Keiichi: "Kek... I'll never accept such a primitive game! Never!"
Mion : "Hehmm! (laughs) But today's Okinomiya game tournament really was fun though. Having a bash with non-club members is nice once in a while."
Rena: "Hahehe ! (laughs) It really was a fun day. Rena was totally satisfied."
Then Satoko turns towards Satoshi and says.
Satoko: "You were great back there too, Nii-Nii (Big Brother). You managed to score an even higher score for the club."
Satoshi looked towards his sister and smiled.
Satoshi: "Arigatou (Thank you), Satoko."
Then Rika joins in on the conversation.
Rika: " Ah! I'm totally satisfied too! I particularly like the part when Keiichi's fur seal went swinging..."
Keiichi: "Kah! Stop talking about that!"
Everyone laughs at Keiichi's misfortunate predicament.
Well, all except one young Kamijou Touma, who was just sporting a serious and calculative expression that was on his face the whole time while having deep reflective thoughts regarding on whether or not the nightmare was truly and finally over for them as the days to weeks to months have passed by since the very last loop, to which they have finally managed to succeed in breaking the cycle while also managing to stop Miyo Takano and by proxy, TOKYO, from carrying out their plans to use The Hinamizawa Syndrome as a possible biological weapon for warfare in the hands of corrupt governments, politicians, and nations.
But their hidden puppet masters, The Committee of 300, are still out there, with all of its branches still rooted in the multiverse, planning in the shadows doing who knows what, and Touma couldn't help but feel a little worried and uneased at the scale to which The Committee seem to operate on based on the information that he had discovered along with The Doctor telling him about it a few weeks to months ago, with him thinking that this was maybe just the calm before the storm and that he needed to be ready for the unknown and dark years to come.
And as he was having these thoughts of deep reflection, he was being called out by Rika (when she begins to notice that he was very silent for a while and didn't join in on the laugh) who he began to notice.
Rika: "-nata. Anata ! "
Touma: "Eh ! "
Kamijou turned towards her while seeing her worried and concerned expression on her face as she began to say.
Rika: " 大丈夫 ?アナタ? Daijōbu? Anata? (Are you alright? Dear?)"
Touma: " Eh! A- Ah! (Yes/Yeah) Rika, sorry about that, I was just thinking about what has happened for the past few months and I still personally find it a little hard to believe that we're finally free from those Hellish Loops, but while we're all free from the loops and managed to stop Takano and TOKYO with their plans to use The Hinamizawa Syndrome as a weapon, The Committee of 300, the ones pulling all of their strings, are still out there planning who knows what from the shadows in secret, so I can't help but feel a little bit too worried and uneasy due to that."
Kamijou says while holding his head with his left hand while saying sorry to her and then he starts explaining in a serious, thoughtful, and worried expression.
Then Rika sported an understanding face as she said with her mature voice.
Rika: "You don't have to worry too much about them, Anata. For today is the day that we can once again have fun and enjoy the time that we have with our friends every once in a while and while it may not seem like much, we should make it count for the rest of our days as we celebrate with our friends as we have endured, an endlessly repeated, gruesome hell, and in the end, we won Anata. We're finally free to live our hopes and dreams. Isn't that enough for now."
Touma then smiled a little as he said.
Touma: " Ah (Yes/Yeah), your right, Rika. I should relax and enjoy this as much as I can while I still can and I can just worry about them (The Committee of 300) and my problems and save it for later. Though it's too bad that the others can't be here with us due to The Doctor needing some help in fixing The TARDIS."
Rika nodded to him.
Rika: "Your right. But it can't helped. The Doctor said that The TARDIS needed a little fixing and resting up due to some sort of power failure but nothing that anyone really needs to worry about as she can still materalize and dematerialize at will in this world, but that only means that you would all still be stuck here for the time being. Which is why I suggest that you need to loosen up a little and I think I know just how to do it."
Insert Song: Start
Initial D - All Around
Then Kamijou suddenly saw Rika sport a strange and suspicious smile as she began to laugh softly as she said.
"Hehehe, You know Anata, I've always wanted to try this with you for as long as we were driving down this very slippery slope of the mountain, for I happen to find it one of the most unintentional and coincidental romantic things that may have happened to us."
"Don't you think!"
Kamijou was about to asked on what she meant by that when suddenly Rika was pedaling her bike faster towards Satoko.
"She's not gonna do what I think she's gonna do. Right?" Kamijou thought in dread and trepidation.
Then Rika uses the bell in her bike to gain Satoko's attention as she begins to lightly elbow Satoko's right shoulder to which she somewhat lost a little balance and after a few seconds, managed to balance herself out but suddenly finds herself on the back position towards Kamijou's bike to which he suddenly realizes her plan concerning him.
"Oh no! Is she planning on racing me?!" thought Kamijou as his eyes widen in surprise and worry.
Satoko: "Wawawah! Hahawah! Rika!" she says as she tries to balance herself from her bicycle.
Rika: "Mii... Touma! Touma! Let's race to see who can outrun Satoko and the others as the fastest as we head back towards The Doctor and the others at the finish line. Winner takes all. Loser demands punishment."
Touma: " Cho-Choto Matte Kudasai ! (Please, wait just a minute) Rika."
But Kamijou was beginning to see Rika gaining a few miles from his position.
Touma: "Kuso! (Damn it!), I guess I have no choice."
Kamijou then pedals his bike faster in order to reach and catch up to Rika to which he does while Satoko and the others began to pedal faster as they say.
Satoko: "Choto Matte Na Sai yo! (Wait just a moment) Rika! Touma!"
Mion: " Nani? Nani? (What's this) A race? Then I won't lose, either!"
Shion: "Oh! I don't think so, Onee (Big Sister), for I have no intention of losing either!"
Keiichi: " Ah! All right, I''ll clear my name by Okonomiya once and for all! Ikuzo! (Let's Go!) Satoshi! We can't have the girls outrun us guys!"
Satoshi : "I'm with you there, Keiichi-san!"
Rena: "Minna! (Everyone!) Matte yo! (Wait!)."
And so it has begun, a race between fire forged friends towards the mountain roads as they drive passed by a few people, a few animals, the countryside and the few incoming and oncoming vehicles in the area while driving their bikes through the curve along the roads with it's twists and turns and it's long cuts and short cuts; with Rika and Touma at the lead on each other as they both smile at each other lovingly and with a competitive streak in their eyes and a knowing smirk at the declaration of a challenge between lovers as they put the pedal to the medal and step on it while the others were trying to catch up from behind.
While this was all happening, suddenly Hanyuu appeared invisibly (to everyone but Kamijou) towards the back of Rika's bicycle with an ominous tone of warning to which Kamijou decided to pay very close attention as whenever throughout the years when Hanyuu decided to warn them that something is going to happen and that "this" or "that" would be the reason, then that something will definitely happen to which Kamijou can attest and experienced first hand as he remained on constant alert just as Hanyuu was having a conversation with Rika.
Hanyuu: "Rika, Touma. It's dangerous if the both of you play around on a road like this!"
Rika: " You better shut your trap! Hanyuu! For I am trying to spend quality time with my beloved Touma while trying to help relieve his stress due to the various problems in his life, or are you perhaps afraid of a little speed like this?"
Hanyuu sighed at that while turning her head towards the left with her eyes closed in exasperation.
Hanyuu: "Just don't blame me if you all get hurt!"
Then Hanyuu disappears.
Rika: "Mii! I won't let Satoko and the others catch up between me and Touma!"
Then Satoko appears right behind them.
Satoko: "What did you just say! Stop right there, Rika!"
Then Rika turns her back towards her.
Rika: "If you tell me to stop, I won't ! and neither will Touma!"
While Touma begins to turn and call out to Rika in a concerned tone.
Touma: "Ano... (Um...) Rika, maybe we should listen to Hanyuu and call this race off right about now."
Then Rika turn towards him a confident smirk and amusement that was written on her face as she says.
Rika: "What's the matter, Anata, having cold feet already when we are almost at the finish line?"
Then Touma shakes his head and says.
Touma: "It's not that! I just have a bad feeling about all of this."
Then Satoko suddenly looked surprise as she began to warned them of an oncoming truck with the others in the back beginning to notice it.
Satoko: "HAH! RIKA! TOUMA! THERE'S A TRUCK THAT IS COMING THIS WAY AND IT'S HEADING RIGHT FOR YOU!"
Kamijou went to check on his forward view on the road when he began to notice with his eyes widened, a fast moving truck that was spotted in his field of vision which is not stopping or pulling the breaks was coming their way while Rika says.
Rika: "We won't fall for that! Satoko ! Heheheha ! "
Touma: " RIKA! SATOKO'S NOT KIDDING! THERE REALLY IS A TRUCK COMING RIGHT FOR US!"
Rika: "Eh!"
Insert Song: End
Then she suddenly heard the noise of an oncoming truck to which her eyes widened in surprise, fear, and shock.
Satoko and Everyone: "RIKA!"
Touma: "KUSO! (DAMN!)"
The truck was heading right towards Rika's direction and in another timeline, she might have ended up in an accident that would have been fatal or sent through another (dream) world in which she would take the name of Frederica Bernkastel in response to an identity crisis, when suddenly, Kamijou just saves her at the very last minute by pedaling his bike as hard as he can as he casually bumps Rika and her bicycle out of the way of the truck's path, with her and everyone else's eyes widened in the few nanoseconds of the remaining moment as he was the one instead who gets mowed down by the truck to which Rika and the others have horrified expressions as they watch Kamijou fell and tumble from his bicycle as the truck mowed him down like a rag doll.
And in the next few seconds, to their continuous horror that was deeply expressed on their faces, the truck had finally managed to stop, with the truck driver hitting the breaks, but not before Kamijou sustained heavy wounds on his head, back, chest, and legs as he bleeds heavily on the asphalt floor of the road along with a few broken bones as he sports a painful expression on his face and a labored heavy and painful breath, to which Rika and the others reacted and hurried immediately towards his side.
Everyone: " TOUMA! NO!"
Rika and the others were now on his side and when they saw the state that he was in, along with a painful sigh that comes out from him along with a labored and heavy breath, the girls (minus Rika who's eyes were full of concern, worry, and despair) began to say some words with some of them having tears in their eyes.
Rena: "Touma-chan." she says while her hands are covered towards her mouth.
Mion: "Touma-chan, hang in there!"
Shion: "Touma-kun! "
Satoko: "Touma." she said while her eyes were dropping in tears throughout her face out of worry and concern.
While the boys began to say as they began to check on Kamijou's grievously bleeding figure.
Keiichi: "CHIKUSHO! (Damn it), He's bleeding too badly along with many of his bones being too broken and exposed due to that damn truck and at this rate he might bleed to death if he can't get the help in time, What the hell do we do ? ! "
Satoshi: "Keiichi-san! We're running out of time! We need to call The Doctor! He should know what do to in this situation!"
Keiichi: "But how the hell do we do that, Satoshi?! He's miles away from here! By the time we reach him, Touma would not be able to make it in time!"
Then suddenly, Rika pulled out her IDST ( Inter-Dimensional Space-Time ) Cellphone from her pocket, to which the others began to immediately notice the strange futuristic device that was displayed right before them as they had seen it once before which was during the time when they were trying to stop Takano and save Rika from her, as she dialed with hurried and trembling fingers, an emergency number that was given to her by The Doctor in case of emergency situations.
And this was an emergency.
And as the ring tone began to be heard by everyone for a few moments, then suddenly a click was heard and The Doctor's voice came out of it.
The Doctor: "Rika?! Why did you call this number?! Did something happened?!"
Rika: " DOCTOR! IT'S TOUMA! HE'S BLEEDING BADLY! WITH GRAVE INJURIES TO HIS HEAD AND BACK, WITH HIS CHEST HAVING A GRAVE CUT, AND BOTH OF HIS LEGS ARE BROKEN ! PLEASE COME OVER HERE NOW!"
The Doctor and everyone else (Shinichi, Kyon, Sota, Lelouch, Nunnally, Kaito) with him in the background of the call widened their eyes on that in complete and utter shock, worry, and concern.
Shinichi, Kyon, Sota, Lelouch, Nunnally, and Kaito: "WHAT!"
Insert Song: Start
I Am The Doctor
Then The Doctor suddenly began to sprint faster towards the main console of The TARDIS as he began to press a few switches here and there so that The TARDIS can materialized at their exact known location at a specific moment of time.
The Doctor: " Alright, Rika! We're on our way now! But no need to tell us of your location since I can track it from your phone which would lead The TARDIS straight towards you. Just sit tight and hold Touma close. Tell the others with you to come closer towards you as well."
Then Rika nodded and began to follow The Doctor's instructions by saying to her fellow club members.
Rika: "MINNA! (EVERYONE!) I NEED ALL OF YOU TO GET CLOSE TO ME ! THE DOCTOR SAID THAT HE'S ON HIS WAY AND THAT HE HAD ASKED US TO STAY CLOSE TOGETHER SO THAT HE MAY BE ABLE TO PICK US UP! HURRY!)"
They all followed her instructions immediately and as soon as they did what The Doctor had asked, an ancient wheezing noise began to be heard little by little all around them as the winds throughout their surroundings suddenly became stronger as the ancient engines of The TARDIS that always brought hope wherever and whenever it goes began to be heard as The TARDIS materialized around them and began to lead them inside one of the emergency rooms of The TARDIS that was created and designed for advance medical aid and treatment.
The TARDIS Medical Bay.
And while all of this was happening, Rika turns towards Touma as she comes near him as she holds and wraps around him with her arms in a careful and delicate matter as she made an expression of love, worry, and with tears in her eyes as she says to him.
Rika: "もう少し待ってください、私の愛 Mōsukoshi mattekudasai, watashi no ai (Just wait a little longer, my love), 助けを求めて Tasuke o motomete (for help is on the way)"
And with that, Kamijou began to slowly lose consciousness as he then heard The Doctor's and everyone's voices calling out to him as he went unconscious and went to sleep in deep slumber.
Insert Song: End
Touma was in a hospital bed in the TARDIS Med Bay as he managed to recover quickly due his healing factor as well as the multiple advance medicines and technology that was stored inside the room.
Suddenly Touma slowly manages to wake up as he began to opened his eyes and get up slowly while groaning from the feedback pain that he had received from that truck.
"Uhhhhhhh."
As he opened his eyes, he noticed that he was in an advance room with technology that should not even exist in 1983 as he began to realized that there was only one place where he could possibly be.
"The TARDIS Med Bay, If I were to take an educated guess, Rika must have called The Doctor to come and save me again."
As he began to think these thoughts, he suddenly notice breathing movement from the right corner of the bed as he turns his eyes towards the source.
It was Rika.
Her eyes were close as she slept peacefully without any disturbance, out of exhaustion from staying up all day and night to look after him.
Then Kamijou started to touch her blue indigo hair as a sign of affection and gratitude for waiting up on him while he was in this condition.
"She never left your side, you know."
Kamijou heard a familiar voice as he turn towards the source of that familiar voice.
It was The Doctor.
He was wearing a regular doctor uniform which was a light blue long-sleeved dress shirt with a dark blue tie and navy-blue suit pants, with a white coat, with a stethoscope on his neck, and with black leather shoes.
"I don't know what's weirder. The Doctor calling himself The Doctor or The Doctor wearing an actual medical uniform."
"Your quite lucky to have her you know, Touma. That kind of relationship that you have with her is very rare nowadays, even with time travel."
Kamijou smiled at that and then decided to ask The Doctor on how long (relatively speaking) was he out.
"How long was I out?"
"TARDIS days or Regular days?"
"Both."
"For the TARDIS: 2 months, For The After School Gaming Club: 2 days."
"That long huh. Must be a new record for my life of misfortune."
Then Kamijou begins to looked around and inspect the room that he was in as he was about ask on where was everyone suppose to be at this point in time.
"Where is everybody?"
"Oh! I just sent Shinichi, Kyon, Sota, Lelouch, Nunnally, and Kaito on an errand in The TARDIS. They're still trying to get the field dampers fixed, along with a few other things, such as the computer interface. "
"The TARDIS is still not fixed after all this time?" Kamijou thought in puzzlement and bewilderment.
"And as for The After School Gaming Club, Well... they all really wanted to stay by your side so much, so they really stubbornly suggested to me personally that they would like to stay in The TARDIS for the next few months from The TARDIS perspective and that they would all live here in The TARDIS together while helping you recover from your truck accident, but the main problem with that is that they couldn't really do that without making some of their folks at home worried sick, that and The TARDIS is still under repairs at the moment so they, after much deliberation and discussion, had a compromise which was actually proposed by Young Miss Rika herself, which was that she along with a certain someone (Hanyuu) would be the ones who would watch out for you in their place."
"A certain someone? He doesn't mean?"
"You can come out now, my young goddess."
As soon as The Doctor said that, a floating, translucent young girl with lavender hair, dark violet eyes, and a pair of black or dark purple horns on her head, was now in plain sight as she suddenly went towards Kamijou's side and embrace him with tears of relief and happiness.
"Auau. auau. auau. Hanyuu is glad that Touma is alright. We-We we're so worried. We-We thought you were- you were-"
Then Touma smiled happily as he began to hold her head with his left hand to reassure her.
"I'm alright, Hanyu. Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."
"Auau. auau."
As he began to say those words, Rika suddenly started to slowly wake up, startled at the growing voices in her direction of hearing, as she was rubbing her eyes out when she began to notice Kamijou who was awake and alright, with a few hospital bandages on his person here and there, When she saw him, her eyes widened with her mouth trembling as she cried with little tears of relief and happiness and immediately started to embrace him.
"TOUMA!"
"Whoa!"
"I-I was so worried. Yo-You we're bleeding to death, along with so many broken bones. I called The Doctor so that he could help and he managed to place all of us inside the TARDIS Sickbay. We- We we're afraid. I was afraid. We thought, I thought- I thought that I might lose you. I-"
Then Touma began to put his right hand towards Rika's head as he says in a reassuring voice as he embraces her in turn.
"Shhh... Hey now, it's ok, Like I told Hanyuu, I'm not going anywhere. Didn't I promise to always be by your side along with everyone in The Afterschool Gaming Club. I will always try to keep my promises, The Doctor taught me that much."
Rika and Hanyu embrace Kamijou tightly and never letting go for one second while letting out tears of joy, relief, and gladness that he was alright and then Touma looks back towards The Doctor who's face sports a proud fatherly expression.
After this, The Companions (Shinichi, Kyon, Sota, Lelouch), A Certain Exiled Royal Sister (Nunnally), and A Certain Tag A Long Aspiring Magician and Future Thief (Kaito) managed to barge in to the medical room after hearing Kamijou's voice from down the hallway with tool boxes in their hands as they all rush towards their friend's side as they all began to tell him on how relieve they truly were after they saw him in such a state which made them worry to no end with Nunnally crying her eyes out and the boys themselves were complaining to him on how utterly wreckless and stupid he was and that he should never do something this stupid ever again as some of them were trying too hard not to break down crying to which Touma agreed wholeheartedly, which was followed by The Afterschool Club (Keiichi, Rena, Mion, Shion, Satoko, Satoshi) who was just visiting when The TARDIS let them in as they also heard Kamijou's voice from down the hallway as they express their joy and relief, Satoko especially as she begins to hug the misfortunate boy in relief, while at the same time admonishing him to not do something like this ever again to which Touma agreed wholeheartedly once more.
And it was on that very day that it was declared by The Club Leader (Mion), and with support from The Doctor, that bike riding was officially banned for the rest of the month as a part of Touma being grounded in The TARDIS by The Doctor.
This caused everyone to groan and complain in displeasure, discontentment, and disappointment while Touma begins to say his infamous catchphrase while having a heavy sigh of acceptance and reluctance.
"Fukou da (Such misfortune)."
