"So, you going to tell me who you are yet" Corn asked
"I told you I can't" The women replied
"Why, that's all I want to know"
"It's very complicated, I really can't"
"Fine" Corn replied annoyed
The duo had been travailing for days to get back to Tokyo, and still Corn knew nothing about what awaited him upon his return. Every time he would ask a question, it would always be replied with the same few answers, I cant, not yet, it's all too complicated, it was starting to bug him, on the plus side they would soon be arriving at the Benton border leading into Highway Zero.
"What could await there?" Corn thought to himself, and for the first time, he grew concerned, concerned for his former friends, are they ok? Have they been injured? Possible killed? He stopped, he didn't wish to think like this right now.
"We're here" The female spoke, her voice bland and normal, as if she wasn't too thrilled about it, and sure enough they were, the usual busy road leading into Highway Zero was empty. Not a good sign as it used to be busy at this time.
"Where are all the cars?" Corn asked
"Gone. Ever since Goji came back people have been too scared to leave, those who have, are usually caught and killed by Poison Jam.
"Poison Jam" Corn muttered
"When Goji took control Poison Jam made an alliance with him, as crazy as it may sound. In return for letting them stay on the streets, they have to take care of any Rudie's or people for that matter who refuse to worship him"
"So what happened to the other Rudie gangs" Corn asked, hoping the news wasn't bad
"One by one they all fell, including the GG's, anybody who refused to follow them were killed, some who escaped went into hiding, others just simply joined"
Corn took another moment to observe the now dilapidated Highway Zero, windows smashed, doors broken, fire in some places, most of all the hundreds of Poison Jam tags littered everywhere, from the floor to the highest build bored
"It's the same everywhere" The women spoke, breaking Corn's concentration
"One question, if you wanted me to return to help defeat Poison Jam and Goji, just how did you expect me to do it"
The women sighed before replying "I was hoping you might have some clues on your friends whereabouts"
"You mean you don't know where any of them are"
"No, after months of trying i gave up, I started to focus on you, as their leader i had hoped you might have the slightest idea of where they would be, i hope seeing and hearing this will convince you to stay, you could be Tokyo's last hope"
Dunno why I ended this here, i guess mainly because im struggling to get the next part right so i thought i might as well post it as it as and leave the rest for later.
