Damien Shepard here. Before we get into Chapter 2 of Takuya's story, I'd like to make an announcement. I've thought long and hard about this, but I've decided (against my better judgement) to post stories that take place after a character's involvement in this fic. I'm going to start posting them as soon as a character's story is done. I'll start working on Satoru's new story sometime before I post this, so keep watch. But now, back to Takuya.

Takuya Shirataki's story: Part 2
Takuya parked Hunter, got a suitcase out of the back of the car, and walked to his room. He was one of the few who were sharing a room with another person.
"I wonder who my roommate is? Probably some poor shmuck who couldn't fight for his life." Takuya said to himself.
He entered the room to find someone sitting on a bed in his room. He was a well-built man with black hair and a slight mustache. He looked at Takuya with a look that had no emotions whatsoever.
"Um…hi. Is this room 201?" Takuya asked.
"Yeah, so?" the man asked back.
"Hi. I'm your new roommate. I'm Takuya Shirataki."
"Humph. Fine by me." The man said simply.
Takuya scoffed and then said, "Nice to meet you too."
He set the suitcase on his bed and looked at the man. He looked at Takuya incredulously.
"What?" he asked.
"You're Richard Moore, aren't you? Takuya asked.
"How did you know?" he asked back.
"I know. Your wife was killed during the Cataclysm, your daughter was kidnapped by one of those things and you also had a rival who also lost his life. Am I right?"
"You're like a regular Sherlock Holmes, you know that?" Richard said. "Yes. My wife, Eva, and rival, Jimmy Kudo, were killed by a giant, blue robot, and my daughter, Rachel, was taken away that day. How did you find out?"
"I have some connections with underground sources. They told me everything about every contestant while I worked on my vehicle. Sorry, but I'm not like the detective by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." Takuya answered.
Suddenly, the alarm for the first stage blared. It was time to compete.
Takuya and Richard headed for their respective vehicles and headed for the first battleground.
Part 3 coming soon.
I should get the independent story up ASAP. Keep checking my Bio Page to keep tabs.
