In a blind, crazed state of mind, I do not notice the obvious cave before me. All I cared about was running and catching whoever tried to kill Yasu and Satoshi until I found myself deep inside a cave. It is dark and I cannot see anything.

"Ayano, you in there? I'll save you!" Mirabilis exclaims. With the rope, Tsukiko grabbed to help with the capture, Mirabilis, Tsukiko, Namita, and Miyuki make their way down the hole. Tsukiko explains she told Hayato to keep watch up on the top to see if anybody else comes.

"Wait, we should be careful. I do not have a good feeling about this place!" Miyuki shouts, breaking out of her usual stoic behavior. I hear her sword move and know that she is clearly holding onto it for protection.

"Oh, let me light up the cave. It should be easier to see." Namita takes out her handbook along with Tsukiko. The moment Namita stares at the other side of the cave, she drops it in what looks to be a pool of red. Tsukiko keeps hold, but I can see that her hand is shaking.

Taking a gulp, I turn around to see a horrifying sight.

There is blood leaking out of a bullet hole to the chest. So much blood, although most of it is dry. Other than that, there are no obvious injuries, just dirt, and small bruises. Somebody closed his eyes but I could still tell that he died in agony and not instantly. Something inside me tells me that is the case. But what worries me the most is the person who is dead…

Kyoto Kamui, the Ultimate Strategist, is laying in a pool of his own blood.


Here's something I'm gonna post more of now. Alternate scenes from previous outlines. Since I have so many of these that they are spilling out of my ears. Most of them are short so why not. More previous outline...things? Yeah, things. Things in general.

Don't worry, this isn't the brutal death I was talking about. Oh no, that's an alternate scene for another day. ;)
