As Yasuha called out for Taka, the balloon creature turned it's head towards Yasuha. "Oh no no no- it's c-coming for me now!" he said to himself. He looked around, and decided to barge into an ammo shop. The store was closed, but he decided to break the door down anyway. He hid behind the counter and thought to himself, "Taka's wheels grew legs, and that kid's balloon turned into a weird humanoid... I think I see the pattern! They're all made of rubber!"
Yasuha looked round the shop and determined that there wasn't any rubber present, since why would an ammunition shop have rubber objects? He peaked over the counter to see if the coast was clear, but he suddenly heard little squeaky voices. "Is that the guyyy?" "That's the guyyy!" said the voices.
He looked around to see who was talking, but he couldn't see a thing. When he looked down at the floor however, he saw dozens upon dozens of little marching figures. They were all rubber bullets which had grown legs and arms. "Kill the giant! Kill the giant!" they all chanted. "H-Hey now... let's... not!" said Yasuha to the bullets.
"The giant is trying to manipulate us! Kill it! Kill it!" chanted the bullets. Suddenly, Yasuha felt a sharp, incredibly painful feeling on his back. "S-Shit! The hell happened!?" he said as he grasped his wound. He looked behind him, and saw two rubber bullets holding up a slingshot. "Hit the giant till he's dead! Hit the giant till he's dead!" they chanted.
Yasuha knew one thing was certain- he had to get the hell out of there. He jumped over the counter and began running towards the back door of the shop. He was still getting chased down by a swarm of rubber bullets who were jumping at him, and even forming small spears with some of the trash laying around the shop.
Yasuha eventually found an exit door, which he exited the building through. He shut the door tight, and layed against the back alleyway wall. "What's happening to me... just what have I gotten into..." he muttered. His wound still stung, and so he thought to himself, "Taka said I could heal with some sort of rhythm... how do I do that again? Um... I guess I'll tap my foot."
As he tapped his foot with a rhythm, he felt a weird sensation on his wound. Eventually, it was gone! "So I really can heal... weird." Then, he began thinking on how to escape. He walked down the back alleyway, and encountered the child that was holding the balloon. The two stared at each other, and Yasuha thought, "Could this kid... be the enemy?"
"Hey you!" yelled Yasuha, "Um, d-don't move a muscle!" The kid simply kept staring at him. Yasuha heard a slight tap, and so he looked down, and saw the kid tapping his foot with a rhythm! "I said, don't move!" The kid yelled back, "Oh yeah!? And what're you gonna do about it!? You gonna beat up a nine year old?! Haha... you're dead!"
The rubber at the bottom of Yasuha's shoes began growing legs and arms, and Yasuha yelled, "Oh- crap!" The shoes began freely running around, and when Yasuha attempted to take them off, they held his legs in with their beefy arms. "Heh, let's run into that wall!" said shoe 1. "Heh, alright!" said shoe 2. The two rubber bottoms ran into a wall, slamming Yasuha against it.
"Heh, that's what you get! You'll pay for what you did to Big Moe!" exclaimed the child. "Pardon my words, but that guy was an asshole!" replied Yasuha, "He gave me no other choice!" "Just shut it!" said the child, licking a lolipop, "JUST DIE!" Yasuha began tapping his nails together with a rhythm, in hopes of activating his ability again.
