laguna seven part 1
after a brutal fight, Blueno informs Kiwi the agonizing truth about Kyoko. meanwhile, Yamada secretly breaks his agreement with Kyoko and gets an idea on how to get his money back.
at Blueno's apartment building
Blueno is inside his flat currently watching TV while sipping on his drink. he flips through the channels then stops at the news channel.
"Reporter Tokishi Zamiuko here live in front of Mayor Domino's mansion is currently on fire. the citizens of West Morioh would like to know what started this fire and why? as for Mayor Domino, his condition his unknown at the moment." Reporter Tokishi Zamiuko said
Blueno spits out his drink in shock as his eyes begin to widen. he quickly jumps up then heads out the door making his way to Domino's house.
outside of Domino's mansion
Kyoko and the masked man are making their way to Yamada's limo truck. the two get inside. Yamada lights his cigarette as he blew out a cloud of smoke then looks at the pair. the masked man takes off his mask.
"i disposed of both Josuke and Okuyasu as you promised, sir." Angelo said
"excellent, i'm glad you did that." Yamada said
"him and his idiotic friend were in my way while i was trying to get to Domino, but i took care of that." Angelo said
Yamada takes another drag of his cigarette, "i appreciate you doing that for me. thank you."
"this isn't what we agreed on, Yamada! you promised me that you wasn't going to hurt them!" Kyoko said
"i would've said anything if he haven't gotten himself involved. i don't know how many times do i have to keep explaining myself but i'll say it once again. if Josuke Higashikata gets involved, he'll be eliminated right on the spot. hate to break it to you Kitten but you've been duped." Yamada explained
Kyoko had a shocked look on her face then shakes her head.
"i don't want this! this has gotten way too far! you were wrong about everything and you were wrong about me and i will never work or do anything you ask for again!" Kyoko yells as while opening the limo door.
Yamada snaps his fingers. Lumori grabs her from behind. Kyoko starts screaming and struggling.
"let me go!" Kyoko screamed while struggling
Lumori put Kyoko's hands behind her back then placed titanium alloy handcuffs on her wrist while locking them in.
"sorry Kitten, but i can't let you get away again scot-free. you see, Lumori came to the conclusion of getting back my money's worth the Auction house." Yamada explained
Kyoko freezes then starts crying.
"is this a damn joke?! you're gonna break the heart of our agreement and auction me off like i'm a damn item!" Kyoko yelled
"listen here girl, you knew what kind of man i was back then in East Morioh and i'm still that man today! if i didn't give a fuck back then what makes you think i do now!" Yamada said
"you're a sick twisted asshole! take these handcuffs off me right now!" Kyoko yells
Yamada leans in towards her, "or else what? who's gonna stop me?! your hero boyfriend? i'll have you know that Angelo here disposed him. if you think he's your only hope then, that's pretty sad. once i hand you over to the Auction house, i'll get a beautiful promotion. you'll be somebody else's problem from now on."
"hey sir, so i'm still gonna get my 10% right?" Lumori questions
Yamada scoffs, "pfft. you're not even getting a dime!"
"the hell?! you promised me! i was the one who gave you that idea in the first damn place! now you wanna—" Lumori's words were cut short as Yamada grabs him by the face then firmly grasped it.
"what gives you the damn right to questioned me. you forgot who's the boss here, didn't you? since you're so bold to question me, how about i show you the way out of my limo!" Yamada said as he throws Lumori out of the limo.
Lumori lands outside next to the limo. his face was covered in blood.
"now, in the meantime, let's get to Ocean's lobby." Yamada said
Kyoko starts crying to herself while the limo starts to peel out.
at Domino's mansion
10pm
outside the citizens are still putting out the fire from earlier. Kiwi is laying on the ground and unconscious. Koichi wakes up with his face bloody. he looks around the room and he sees Domino tied up and unconscious. he runs over to him, unties him then grabs him out of the burning room.
the fire started to spread even further through the mansion. Koichi looks at the open bedroom windows as he grabs Domino and jumps out landing on the front yard grass as he collapsed on the ground as half the citizens rushed over to them in shock.
"they need to be treated right away! get the first aid, hurry!" Citizen E yelled
moments later, Blueno finally arrives at Domino's mansion. he gets quickly out of his truck then rushes over where the mansion is. a hand suddenly grabs his leg. Blueno looks down and sees Lumori covered in blood.
"let go of my leg dammit!" Blueno shouted
"listen…you have to…you have to stop Yamada. he's-he's took her. he took her." Lumori said weakly
"he took Kyoko?! where did he take her to?!" Blueno yells
"to Ocean's Lobby...hurry!" Lumori weakly said as he collapsed on the ground
Blueno's eyes widen.
minutes later, the citizens noticed that Kiwi is still unconscious.
"hey you guys, look! this girl was with Josuke too!" a man yelled
Blueno looks in their direction. Kiwi then wakes up while regaining consciousness then puts her hand on her head. Blueno then walks over where Kiwi was. she looks at him while he looks at her.
"you're Kyoko's sister. your name is Kiwi right?" Blueno asked
"yes, i am. who are you?" Kiwi questions
"i'm Blueno. i'm Kyoko's friend." Blueno answered
"a friend?" Kiwi questions
"yes." Blueno said
"you're not Kyoko's friend?! you're the guy that kidnapped her! we've been looking everywhere for you and her and neither one of you were nowhere to be found! why the hell do you wanna show yourself now?!" Kiwi exclaimed
"whoa chill, chill! just hear me out for a second, okay! i don't mean any harm honestly! i'm here to help you guys. let me explain myself, please." Blueno said
minutes later, he tells Kiwi everything about her sister and why she went with Yamada and Gov.
"but for now, I want to talk about your sister, Kyoko." Blueno said
Kiwi has a worried look on her face "what do you know?"
"when you guys first came to West Morioh, did she start acting strangely?" Blueno questioned
"yeah, she did. she was skeptical about coming here at first, then she was kidnapped by a guy wearing a mask and we thought it was you so we decided to break into your house in hopes that we'd be able to find her there. then, when Koichi and Rohan finally saw her again, she said this was goodbye and didn't want to see us anymore. of course, none of that made any sense to us. i just want to know the truth about why she's doing this and why would she give up all of her friends?" Kiwi starts crying to herself.
Blueno leans towards her, "I have the answer to that actually."
Kiwi lifts up her head and looks at Blueno with a shocking expression.
"it all started right after she was kidnapped. Gov had begun its operations. in other words, there's a good reason why your sister did what she did, but before I go into details, I want you to understand that both Kyoko and I have a very close friendship. you may think that I'm the one who's behind this but i'm here to tell you that i'm not." Blueno said
"then…if it's not you then, who?" Kiwi questions
"it's Yamada." Blueno answered
Kiwi's eyes widen, "Yamada?! he's out?!"
"yes, he's the one that's behind everything, her kidnapping, the pictures of Josuke, everything. he even hired Angelo, who's Josuke's old enemy to kidnap her and forced her to do things against her will. him and his team kidnapped her again tonight and are on their way to Ocean's Lobby where Yamada's second penthouse is." Blueno explains
Kiwi starts crying and shaking she couldn't believe the things that she was hearing from Blueno. He also explain to Kiwi why Kyoko is turning herself into Yamada and Gov.
"when Yamada fired me for not obeying his orders, I went back to his penthouse to get the rest of my belongings. I forgot my keys inside his office so I went upstairs to get them and that's when I discovered the Platinum Deluxe plan. the plan presented her with two conditions. the first was to pin Domino's assassination on Josuke and leave him and his friends alone. the second was to turn herself over to him and follow his every order with no questions asked."
"what!? I don't understand, why would she agree to something like this?" Kiwi questioned while still crying.
"in this situation, Yamada was planning to kill Josuke and that time when you and her went to Josuke's birthday party, he wanted me to capture her right there on the spot and kill him if he got involved. if she didn't agreed to this, then her, Josuke and the rest of Morioh would've been annihilated." Blueno replied
Kiwi's eyes flooded with tears, while she covered her mouth with her hand.
"I know it's all heartbreaking to hear, but I couldn't keep this from you or anybody else. I couldn't do that to her or Josuke, that was the first time i ever seen her so happy and in love was at his party. she finally found someone that loves her and cares about her well being. excluding her, she wanted the six of you to leave West Morioh safely." Blueno explained
"she was protecting us." Kiwi thought to herself
"I have no right to criticize her decision. If they find those blueprints, it's all my fault." Blueno said
Kiwi breathes heavily and falls on the ground.
"what's wrong?" Blueno asked
"I'm happy, that's all. I was worried that I thought she betrayed us. I gotta find the others and let them know! can you help us get Kyoko back?" Kiwi asked as she picks herself up.
"any friend of Ms. Kyoko's is a friend of mines." Blueno answered with a smile.
"i gotta wake Koichi up and let him know!" Kiwi said
Koichi was still on the ground unconscious and injured. Kiwi repeatedly hits Koichi trying to wake him up.
"Koichi, good news!"
"c'mon Koichi, wake up! we have to find everyone! you can sleep later! we gotta get moving before they take Kyoko way for good!"
"you sure you wanna do that? he's in pretty bad shape!" Blueno said
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKEUP!" Kiwi shouts
minutes later, Koichi finally regains consciousness from his nap. Kiwi tells him everything about Kyoko.
"really? so, Kyoko doesn't hate us after all?!"" Koichi said
"yep. at any rate, no matter how we're going to follow them, we can't do anything until we find Josuke and Okuyasu first!" Kiwi said
"right! i got it Kiwi." Koichi agrees
the trio left the mansion as they ran to Blueno's Tahoe truck. Blueno paused himself for a second.
"wait, I should warn you guys. the Gov agents are a lot tougher than they look. we need to be careful!" Blueno said
"yeah no kidding. we haven't even started the actual fighting yet! what happened at the mansion was only a warm up! we wouldn't be here right now if we gave up that easy. we may not be able to stop Yamada alone but the one person who can is Josuke! he'll get her back now that we know Kyoko needs saving!" Kiwi explained
Koichi stops running then paused himself.
"wait! Kiwi! Mr. Blueno! we have one problem though."
both Kiwi and Blueno paused themselves then turns to Koichi.
"what's wrong Koichi?" Kiwi asked
"we still need to find Josuke and Okuyasu!" Koichi said
"you're right. there's no way we can do this without them! they have to be here somewhere! we have to let them know immediately so we can rescue Kyoko!" Kiwi said
the trio drove off to look for the others.
this isn't good at all! Yamada's team has Kyoko and are on their way to Ocean's Lobby. there's no sight of Josuke and Okuyasu! will the crew be able to find them in time?
