"Talk"

'Thought'

[Oudo Weighted Words]

"Heh, I guess giving myself 30 minutes was too generous, though I should've known better than to underestimate my superior abilities~"

Oudo opens the doors and walks into the arcade room, his expression and his dramatic way of walking was filled with extreme self centered ego and arrogance

"Mizou! I have finished my brainwashing and am in need of your mind rea-"

Before Oudo could continue his train of thoughts, he quickly cut himself off when he saw his Court Jester, Mizou Yukuhashi, laying on the floor, mask off, and seemed to be not waking up, all the while Zenkichi Hitoyoshi was in the middle of performing CPR was in the middle of pressing his chest as fast as he could

"Don't Die On Me! Please Just Breathe Already! I'm Sorry, I'm Very Sorry! Please Wake Up!"

Zenkichi was very desperate to revive Mizou, which immediately let Miyakonojou know what has happened and wasted no time stepping in and personally intervening in this situation

"[STEP ASIDE PEASANT!]"

After Oudo used his 'Weighted Words' to make Hitoyoshi step aside and get out of his way, who then took this chance to kneel down and held Yukuhashi in his arms, it only took him a moment to realized that his heart has stopped and instantly knows what to do, he held out his hands, covered it in yellow electricity, and then place it on the child's chest

"[Breathe…]"

After Oudo gave his command, while also sending a bit of electricity into his Court Jester body, his once lifeless body suddenly woke up and took a deep breath, as his heart started beating again and he desperately try to catch his breath, which shocked Hitoyoshi, after Yukuhashi took a moment to control his breathing, he immediately started crying and hugs his King tightly

"I-I'm sorry, I failed you Oudo…"

Despite technically dying, Mizou still wanted to apologize for his failure, which made the Born Ruler sigh softly as he then stood up

"Your mission was to buy me time, to which you succeeded, so I see no reason to think you have failed."

Oudo picks up the mask and places it back on his Court Jester face, after doing this, he took this chance to then lightly glare at the Collared Normal, who could only look away in shame, as he has no excuse for what he has done

"You impressed me Dog, I didn't think you would be so willing to kill someone in cold blood, though attempting to take away what's mine was your last and final mistake."

The Abnormal Wildcard didn't know if he should even bother defending himself or not, Oudo huffs and turns around, as he then started to walk away

"Medaka Kurokami, I'll let you handle this insect, I need to take my loyal subject to Naze, to make sure he is fine…"

What Oudo said definitely caught Hitoyoshi attention, as he looked back up and went eyes wide to see Medaka Kurokami come walking in, despite looking unharmed and not injured, she was obviously looking a bit different, her cheerful face was replaced with a hollow emotionless expression, she wore clothes that restricted her arms, and she was clearly not acting herself if she was able to walk past Miyakonojou without even attempting to stop him

"Do I need to kill him, to make myself complete?"

Medaka tone and voice was almost, empty, even lifeless and robotic, which instantly let the Guard Dog realize that something was done to her, which made him momentarily forget what he has done and wore a very angry expression

"I'll let you decide for yourself…"

Was all Oudo had to say before leaving the two alone, a moment of silence fell between them, Kurokami just continues to blankly glare, while Hitoyoshi tensed up and narrow his eyes

"What did they do to you, Medaka-Chan?..."

When Zenkichi asked that question, it was quickly answered by the Blank Monster dashing forward and throwing a hard side kick towards him, who narrowly avoided it and quickly jumped back at a safe distance

"My name is not Medaka-Chan, it's Medaka Kurokami."

Medaka gently spoke as she charged again, throwing another kick at the Guard Dog, who blocks it with his own leg

"To me…"

Zenkichi then pushes her away and tries to counter attack with his own back

"You Will Always Be Medaka-Chan!"

She dodged Zenkichi kicks by doing a backflip, not only that but she also throws over a dozen of needles at him, to which he blocked it with his arms, he couldn't help but wince in pain, but was able to ignore it and ripped them all off his arms, after doing that he wasted no time charging forward and continues to deliver some more of his 'Kick Combos' to his Childhood Friend, who was able to either block or dodge every single one

"... Why haven't you transformed yet?"

Medaka couldn't help but ask as she quickly ducks under another kick and then knees him in the neck, luckily the collar was able to protect him from any damages to his throat, but was still sent flying back and crashing into a wall, cracking it badly

"Not that it would matter, nothing you turn into will stand a chance against me."

Medaka lowers her foot and watches the Collared Normal slide down the wall that he broke

"But even so, I noticed you're purposely holding back against me, why?"

When Medaka continues to ask, the Abnormal Wildcard couldn't help but clenched his teeth tightly as he remembers what he has done to Mizou

"I will admit, using this stupid thing would definitely help me right about now…"

Zenkichi slowly gets back up to his feet, as ugly feelings of regret, guilt and fear fills his heart

"But after seeing how… 'Dangerous'... This thing is, it made me realize that using it will only hurt anyone and everyone around me…"

Zenkichi was then fully on his feet, as he clenched his fist tightly in bottled up rage

"And I get it, hurting people who are my enemies, or want to kill me, it's obviously so unavoidable…"

Zenkichi then glares, tears falling down his cheeks and points at the Empty Abnormal, who went eyes wide slightly to see his expression

"But I Will Never Use Against You, Or Anyone I Care About, EVEN IF THEY WERE TO BE EVIL AND TRIED TO KILL ME!!!"

Zenkichi lets out a loud yell as he then runs towards the Emotionless Plus, before giving her a very hard roundhouse kick to the side of her head, to which surprise him to see her not dodge it

"Even if they were to be evil and try to kill you?..."

Medaka then ripped her restricted clothes and quickly freed her hands out of her binds, after doing so, she wasted no time in using her free hands to punch him hard in the gut, which made him cough up blood

"You're Such A Fool Zenkichi!"

Medaka then delivered a hard uppercut under Hitoyoshi chin, which sent him flying upwards

"That Is Such A Stupid And Hollow Statement!"

Medaka then brought up her leg very high, then brought it back down onto his stomach with enough force to send him down on the floor and break it entirely

"Do You Think Kindness Towards Your Friend Means Anything?! Do You Think Your Kindness Towards Me Means Anything?!"

Medaka sat on top of him and raised her fist high up, hands and fingers clenched very tightly and shakingly

"WELL IT DOESN'T!!!"

Punch

"IT MEANS NOTHING TO ME!!!"

Punch, Punch

"IT'S WORTHLESS!!!"

Punch, Punch, Punch

"POINTLESS!!!"

Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch

"USELESS!!!"

Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch

"IMPRACTICAL!!!"

Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch

"FUTILE!!!"

Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch

"PURPOSELESS!!!"

Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch

"IN VAIN!!!"

Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch

"IT'S NOTHING, IT IS NOTHING, AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE NOTHING!!!"

PUNCH

"And it will always be nothing to me… Cause I will only care about… Is being complete…"

Medaka moves her bloody fist away from Hitoyoshi face, revealing nothing but a very banged up, bruised and broken lips, cheeks and one of his eyes, she quickly raised up her fist again, and was about to bring it down again

"... Then why are you crying?..."

Zenkichi, even after his face was practically ruined, was still able to ask her that question, who couldn't help but go wide eyes as she noticed her eyes started to profusely leak out tears like crazy

"I'm not crying!"

Medaka tried to ignore her tears, wiping them away with no success, which made her yell and was about to do another beat down on the bloody Guard Dog

"Medaka-Chan-"

"I am not Medaka-Chan-"

"Do you remember how we first met?"

"... I do…"

"I think it was around 12 years since-"

"It was 13."

"Right, 13 years since then, we were in school-"

"It was a hospital."

"Was it? Dang it's hard to remember after the punches you gave me, I might have inner brain bleeding-"

"CONTINUE WITH WHAT YOU WERE SAYING!!!"

Medaka suddenly transformed into her 'War God Mode', which turned her entire hair pink and increases her strength so much that when she punched the ground next to the Collared Normal head, it made her fist go in very deeply in the ground and shook and crack the entire room, though this made him chuckle and finished what he was saying with no fear in his voice

"When we first met, you helped me out with something, I don't know what exactly, but after you helped me, you made me so happy, so very happy~"

Zenkichi lets out a small but very happy smile, which makes Kurokami go wide eyes, more tears suddenly floods out her eyes

"Then after you made me so happy, you then asked me what your purpose in life was, ugh, what did I say, I can't remember, do you know what I said to you on that day?"

When Zenkichi asked this question, Medaka Kurokami, Medaka-Chan, then started to accept her tears and started to cry, while also letting her pink hair suddenly turn into a shade of black, to which Hitoyoshi noticed and was about to voice out his worries, but was quickly cut off when she looked at him with a very happy and thankful smile

"My purpose in life was to make everyone happy~..."

It's hard to make a long fight with an obviously big power difference, lol~

(Anyway, a chapter or two more to go before the 'Summer Break Arc', I'm so excited hehe~)
