Defy
Chapter 4
Author Notes: And we're back~ Last time I made everything go boom! So much fun, but now I know everyone wants to know what happened. Time to see the aftermath. I do not own Nanbaka~
3rd P.O.V
"What do you mean we can't see him!?" It...hasn't been a good couple days. After the major explosion that took place all the prisoners were evacuated and contained, irritating the several concerned members of building 13.
Uno was at this point acting like a rabid dog with how frustrating everything was. "I-i'm sorry guys. But Number 15 is not in any condition for visitors. When the Supervisor gives the ok, I can escort you all there. Right now he's badly hurt and needs to heal." A growl escaped Uno as Rock places a hand on his shoulder.
Trying to calm the usually chilled gambler down. "Please Seterou-Chan! Can't you do something?" Nico was begging at this point, on his knees and everything. "The answer's no you idiots. Number 15 is in critical condition and will not be seeing anyone." Hajime put his foot down.
Making sure his blue haired subordinate wasn't coerced into disobeying the rules. "Supervisor!" Everyone's eyes were on him. "How is he!?" Hajime's expression was grim. The news wasn't good.
"The brat's in a coma. Burns covering all over his body and a bullet wound was lodged into his back. It's a miracle he's alive." There was no point in trying to lie, so he didn't. Instead being absolutely blunt.
It may've been heartless, but it showed just how bad a shape the kid was in, and why he couldn't have visitors. Any fight that had been in the three criminals had been extinguished with that one statement. All of them fall to the floor in shock. Lost to the horrible memories that plagued their minds.
"What the hell!?"
They watched, horrified as blood coated the teens back. His usual black and white striped uniform turning a sickening crimson. But it was only for an instant as another gunshot went of, and the arena erupted in flames.
"Jyugo!" Tremors shook up the entire area. Uno barely able to keep his balance as he went into shock. This...couldn't be happening. "Everyone is to evacuate immediately! Half of the guards stop this fire, while the other half escort the prisoners to the other side of Nanba prison. And call the medics!"
At the wardens' command guards and convicts alike ran, ignoring Mitsuru's request for leaving calmly. Hajime, Kenshirou and Musashi were stuck, surrounded by flames. "Shit!" Hajime covered his face with his arms as Musashi made a beeline for the collapsed Jyugo.
Panic filled his being at the still body on the ground. "Stay with me! Jyugo!" The poor kid was unconscious, the pain being too much for him. Growling Hajime rushed their way. "Dammit Number 15." As carefully as possible, with Musashi's help, Hajime placed the injured boy on his back.
"We gotta get outta here!" Kenshirou was using his cloak to help smother the fire, but the intensity was too much. "Hajime, Kenshirou!" Samon and Kiji arrive, being one of the few individuals coming with buckets full of water and fire extinguishers.
Warden Momoko and Mitsuru left their stations, issuing commands to help organize the large population of panicked people. "Let us go down there and help Yamato!" The guard's face was stern as he faced Rock and the other two prisoners.
Unlike everyone else, those three stayed behind, wanting to help. "I'm sorry but it's not safe! We need to get out of the way so the guard supervisors can quench the flames. I won't have any of you getting hurt on my watch!"
Tension was high and none of them were going to listen. Why should they? They haven't been since the moment they got here, and their friend needed them! "Deputy supervisor! Building 13 has been escorted to the otherside of the prison. The warden has ordered us to-"
It was the moment Uno had been waiting for. With Yamato temporarily distracted, Uno twists, vaulting right over the wall and falling into the arena. "Uno!" Not even a second after his escape, Rock and Nico follow, completely ignoring Yamato as they make a beeline to the struggling guards.
"Pass us buckets! We gotta stop the fire now!" Despite their desires to protest, neither men could find it in them to dispute with cell 13's inmates. They needed all the help they could get. "Hajime how's Number 15's condition!"
Slowly but surely Hajime, Musashi and Kenshirou were making their way through the blaze. Covering their mouths and bodies. "His breathing's gone shallow and the bleeding won't stop. Where the hell are the medics?" The news made Uno, Rock and Nico work all the harder.
Move all the faster. They were running out of time. Kiji sighed in relief as more people came in familiar white attire. "Hajime the medics have arrived!" It was just the news everyone was waiting for.
The flames had died down enough for the guard to rush through. Still careful of the injured cargo in his possession. "Prepare for emergency treatment! Then rush him to Building 13's medical ward!"
"Now just shut up and stay in your cells." With that Hajime pivots on his heel. His eyes were cold as he trudged towards the wardens' office. The incident that took place was no accident.
Hajime knew for a fact that the person responsible for this was in the stands, hiding amongst the shadows. The perpetrator fired two gun shots, and from the looks of it had planned to kill Jyugo and anyone nearby.
No matter what the person who did this is going to pay. Because of him someone from His section was nearly killed, several others were injured and the tournament ended in disaster. "I'm coming for you bastard. You won't win."
He had no doubt as to who the culprit was...it was just a matter of finding him and the evidence to condemn him. Nanba Prison was huge. Thousands of convicts and guards lived in the various buildings scattered across the man made island.
But that didn't matter, eventually the attacker would have to make his move. Especially since his target had managed to survive both the gunshot wound and fire. Hajime grinned, a dark aura surrounding his tense body. Unaware of the grinning shadow watching his every move.
"Catch me if you can Mr. Supervisor~ Let's see who can get who first!"
to be continued
Author Notes: And so the plot thickens with darkness. Hajime's pissed, Jyugo's miraculously alive and everyone is feeling low and depressed. No one even won the tournament! And that means no oven, game room or or anything!
