6 Day Left

Neku: Ready for Day 2? Mission's here.

Streaky: Hey! Ain't you down with the plan?

Neku: Yeah. Like we talked about yesterday. Ignore the missions and make for the Shibuya River.

Beat: Once I'm Composer, this Game business is done! An' then… … Man, le's jus' go.

Konishi: (Voice) Go where? You haven't even read the mission.

Beat: Who'zat?

They saw her

Konishi: Greetings. I am this week's Game Master, Mitsuki Konishi.

Beat: Tsk… This is the Iron Maiden? Move, yo! I ain't got time for you!

Konishi: So primitive. You think I can't see what you're up to? You were going to ignore the mission and cause some kind of trouble.

Beat: So what, yo!? I'm a Reaper. I don't gotta do some stupid mission!

Streaky: Me too!

Konishi: …As I thought. Well, I regret to inform you you were officially expelled from the Reapers yesterday. As of today, you are just Players.

Beat: Pfft. Whatever. You can't fire me, 'cause I quit, yo!

Konishi: Oh, don't act like a child.

Beat: You think he's actin'!?

Konishi: …No, I can see it comes quite naturally to you.

Beat: Heh heh. Damn right!

Dex-Starr: … Uh, kid… She's making fun of you and Streaky.

Beat & Streaky: WHAT!?

Konishi: (Sigh) Since I can't reverse evolution and speak your language, I'll keep this brief. You may be a Player now, but you still broke Reaper rules. Which means you have a penalty coming. They explained to you that a Reaper's points determine his or her lifespan?

Beat: Yeah, so? Big deal, yo.

Konishi: You've earned 0 points. Not a very hard worker, I see.

Beat: You was gonna make us sick for bringing Noise on the Players and their companions! That ain't what I signed up for.

Konishi: Then I can't fathom why you did. One person's success is built on another's sacrifice. And besides… If I'm not mistaken, your only motive for becoming a Reaper is sitting perched on your shoulder. One little Noise? Talk about petty.

Streaky: Shut up! What do YOU know?

Konishi: As you wish. 0 points. That leaves you with about five days to live including today.

Beat & Streaky: What!?

Dex-Starr: Five days?

Streaky: Then we ain't gonna last the Game…

Koniahi: The Reapers' wings are not license to do whatever you please. Ponder that during the time you have left. Now then, Player, in honor of your fall from grace, why don't I claim your entry fee?

Beat & Streaky: What!? NO!

Konishi: I wonder what you hold dearest. Could it be…these Noise? It is, isn't it?

She grab the two noise that the two noise that was stick with Streaky and Beat

Streaky: Give them back, you Iron Witch!

Konishi: Hmph. I have a better idea. Since this seems to be distracting you…

Beat: NO! Don't you do it, yo!

Streaky: Stop!

She crush them and they turned into a Pin

Konishi: There. Much more manageable. Now you can focus on my mission.

Beat: Why you… Gimme that pin!

Streaky: Give it to me!

Konishi: First, your mission. How about… "Defeat me. You have 6 days."

Dex-Starr: DAYS?

Konishi: Or until you perish. Whichever comes first.

Beat: Yo, I don't need no six days-I'm gonna finish this right here an' now!

Konishi: A predictably hasty response. …Let me finish. Keep jumping the gun and you're going to fail. Don't you care what becomes of this pin?

Streaky: No! That ain't fair…

Konishi: At this point, I am going to move to a certain place. I will stay in that place for the next six days. You need to find me.

Neku: So it's like hide-and-seek.

Beat: We just gotta find you? Tha's easy, yo.

Konishi: Correct. We call this Reaper Sport 2: "Hide-and-Seek." I picked something at your age level.

Streaky: What you just say!?

Konishi: Best of luck to you. Oh, and here. You'll need these.

She give Streaky and Beat a Player Pin and Collar

Beat: A Player Pin and Collar…

Konishi: I'm looking forward to watching you squirm and choke-powerless to find me…powerless to stop death from finding you. Take care.

She left

Beat: Yo, get back here, dammit!

Then they flinch and felt and Impact on their hands and arms

Streaky: Yowch!

Neku: The timer.

Beat: Dammit! She got away.

Dex-Starr: That's the way to 104.

Beat: Yo, forget the Shibuya River. We gotta go after her, man. I need that pin! Otherwise bein' the Composer means nothin'.

Streaky: So do I! We have to catch her and get those Pins!

Neku: Wait, why? Those Noise that was with you two. What wa-

Streaky: That ain't no Noise, Phones!

Neku: Huh?

Beat: Le's bounce!

They went to 104

Meanwhile

Kariya: Sooo…this is an O-Pin.

Uzuki: Reminds me of the design sweeping the town. You know… I think it's the same pin.

Kariya: Something about this stinks.

Uzuki: Better hold your nose, then. We have to wear 'em. GM's orders.

Kariya: You mean her Iron Mugliness? She's really gone and done it this time.

Uzuki: Oh, c'mon, live a little! Secret weapons? Unchained power? Sign me up!

Kariya: Uh-huh. Ever wonder why they keep the chains ON?

Uzuki: I guess…it must take a toll.

Kariya: Something must be spooking the higher-ups if they're breakin' these puppies out.

Uzuki: It does seem like overkill for one little freshmeat traitor.

Kariya: Maybe. Maybe not.

Uzuki: Huh? Please.

Kariya: Anyway, I see you've finally cheered up.

Uzuki: Well, yeah? Work is finally getting back to normal. Rewarding! Hee hee.

Kariya: 'Atta girl! Now how 'bout a day for bowl of-

Then Konishi appeared

Konishi: Working diligently, I see.

Uzuki: Oh! Y-yes, ma'am!

Konishi: Tsk…

Back to Neku and the others

Neku: Another wall… End of the road.

Beat: Naw, not this time, yo.

Neki: Whoa, don't do anything crazy!

Beat: Yo, quit bustin' my berries, man. I'm talkin' 'bout THIS. This wall opens with my Lv. 1 keypin.

Dex-Starr: The one you used to "open" the wall yesterday?

Streaky: Heh heh. She forgot to take it back.

Beat open removed the wall by using the Pin

Beat: There. Open. Le's move!

They made it

Beat: Dammit… Where'd that Reaper tramp go?

Streaky: Come on! Let's hurry!

BJ: (Voice) Got you now, traitor.

They saw BJ

Beat: Who the hell are you?

BJ: A Reaper.

Streaky: Yeah, like we couldn't tell. Well, guess what. I'm a Player now. You ain't allowed to touch me or Beat.

BJ: What, didn't you get the memo? The UG's on Emergency Call.

Streaky: Pfft. What's the emergency?

BJ: When the UG's continued existence is threatened, neutralization of the malignant factors takes priority.

Beat: Sorry, man, but I don't speak geek.

BJ: It means the ban on attacking Players has been lifted. You're just a bounty to me now. I'll make officer if I erase you.

Beat: Heh, good for you, yo. Take your best shot. But I'm tougher than you think.

BJ: Not when I've got an O-Pin!

Beat: "Oh pin"? Whassat?

BJ: It makes me a dozen times more powerful than usual! Prepare to die, Dasukeno-

Beat: Bwaaah! Oh no you didn't! Now you askin' for it!

They are fighting him and defeated him

BJ: H-how!? The pin didn't work?

Streaky: Heh. You all talk, man. It don't work 'cause you WEAK.

BJ: I underestimated you, Streaky and Daisukeno-

Beat: Bwaaah! Dontchu say it!

Dex-Starr: Die-sue-what?

Beat: Forget it, yo. We got us a bigger problem.

Neku: The Emergency Call… We're gonna have to fight off the Reapers now.

Beat: Rrgh, dammit! Why they gotta get up in our grills when we busiest? Why'd it have to come to this, yo?

Dex-Starr: … Uh, because you betrayed them?

Streaky: … … … Aaah! You sayin' it's our fault? Well…we still OK! We jus' gotta take out the Reapers if they try somethin'. Right?

Neku: Works for me.

Dex-Starr: Yeah, me too.

Beat: Aight, le's go find the Iron Maiden.

Neku's Though: Hmm… That's weird, though. The GM could've just erased us. Why didn't she? What's the point of issuing some roundabout mission?

Beat: Yo, le's move!

Neku: All right!

Meanwhile

Konishi: Can I count on you, Mr. Kariya? Yashiro?

Uzuki: Of course, ma'am! Special orders straight from the GM! We're honored.

Kariya: …

Konishi: You're officer material, Yashiro. Where points are concerned, you rival the best of us. You could succeed. All you need is a little more self-restraint.

Uzuki: Yes, ma'am! Thank you for the advice.

Konishi: Show me some results, and I can guarantee a promotion. I'll speak to Mr. Kitaniji myself. Now do your best.

Uzuki: I won't let you down, ma'am!

Konishi: As for you, Mr. Kariya, you should already be-

Kariya: Picked a hiding place yet? Must be fun to run.

Konishi: "Run"? Oh, Mr. Kariya, you need to fix that erroneous assumption. I intend to ATTACK-from the last place they'll ever suspect.

Back to Neku and the others

Dex-Starr: Hey! You see that?

Beat: Wait up, Ironface!

They saw run into a Wall atain

Beat: Durff! Stupid wall! Keypin, keypin.

He unlocked it

Beat: Got it, yo! C'mon!

They made it to A-East and still chssich her

Streaky: Quit runnin', you coward!

Neku: That's A-East…

Beat: She's hidin' in the building, yo. This is our chance, Phones and Tiger Cat! Le's take her out now!

They're going to enter and then

777: Hey! You two! Perfect timing.

Neku: Huh? Oh. It's you.

They saw 777

Beat: Whatchu want, man? We're in a hurry!

Dex-Starr: Yeah, we don't have time for you right now.

777: Aw, that's too bad…for you.

Beat: Yo, Whatchu say?

777: …I am sooo on fire today! The bounty just fell right into my lap!

Neku: Wait… You wouldn't!

Streaky: Hmph. You know we gonna crush you, Porcupine.

777: Uhh… Don't count on it, bro. I've been on a lucky streak today. Tix to our show tonight? Sold out. That's a Def Mä rch first! Meteoric!

Beat: Yeah? Good for you, man. Go play wid your mic or somethin' and step off my grill, yo!

777: Sorry. Denied! Whatever you did to get a price put on your head, I intend to collect. 'Sides, if you're threatenin' the UG, that ain't cool. I happen to like my UG/RG double life.

Beat: Like Streaky and I are the bad guys!

777: You are to me. Now, Daisukenojo Bito, prepare to be face-melted!

Beat: Bwaaah!

Dex-Starr: Die…bee… What? Is that some kind of hex?

Beat: Yo, don't you dare use that name!

Neku: Name!? You don't mean…

Dex-Starr: Daisukenojo Bito was your...

Beat: … …Yeah.

Neku: Are you serious?

Beat: I know it's lame, man. Jus' call me Beat!

Dex-Starr: And Streaky did you know his-

Streaky: Yeah, he told me. But I have to keep it a secret.

777: Let's rock, Daisukenojo!

Beat: Bwaaah! You'll pay for that, yo!

They are fighting him and defeated him

777: Damn… You guys are tough.

Beat: Tha's right. Now call me Beat!

Dex-Starr: Is that all that matters to him, kid?

Neku: How should I know, Cat?

Beat: That cost us time, yo. Le's keep movin'.

777: Hey, hold up. Finish what you started… End me.

Streaky: End you? Look, we didn't even wanna start you. And we ain't got nothin' 'gainst the UG, either. You got a show to play, man.

Neku: Go rock out. You gonna let down your fans?

777: … Heh heh… Man, today IS my lucky day. Thanks, Phones, Tiger Cat, Thundercat. You, too, Daisukenojo!

Beat: Bwaaah! Yo, you askin' for mo' pain!

Neku: Hey! Calm down…

Streaky: Yeah, don't get yourself worked up

777: Dai-I mean Beat. Here. Take this.

Beat: Whatchu givin' me, man?

777: My keypin.

He gave him a Pin

Neku: Is that allowed?

777: Doesn't matter. I don't like owin' people.

Beat: Aight, then. Thanks, man. …C'mon, Streaky, Tiger Cat, Phones!

Neku: Yeah, she couldn't've left the building.

777: Who?

Beat: The Iron Maiden!

777: You mean Konishi?

Dex-Starr: We saw the Game Master go in.

777: What? Naw, you're mistaken. No one's inside the place. I would've seen 'em go in.

He went inside to check

Neku: You didn't see her?

Dex-Starr: But she went right past him… Still, he doesn't look like he's lying.

Neku: I wonder what she is?

777: (Voice) Hey, anybody in here? I said, HEEEY! See? Nobody- Gwaargh!

Neki: What happened?

Beat: Quick, Streaky, Tiger Cat, Phones!

They went inside

Neku: It's pitch black…

Streaky: Hey! Porcupine! You aight?

Neku: … Let's have a look around. What's this?

Beat: Looks like a collar. Did you two-

Streaky: No, it's still on me.

Dex-Starr: Same goes for me.

Beat: Then who's belong to

Neku: It's the choker 777 had on.

Beat: Huh? Then what's it doin' here?

Neku: …She erased him.

They look horrified

Beat: What!? That lowdown, dirty… How could she do somethin' like that!? Where is she? I'm gonna hunt her down!

Neku: Hey, heads up! There's something in here!

They saw Noise

Streaky: Tsk… Noise?

Nekue: We'll find her. But first, let's get rid of this!

Konishi: (Voice) Hee hee hee…

They fight all the Noise

Konishi: (Noise) Hee hee hee…

Beat: Show yourself, Ironface!

Neku: She's in here somewhere. Keep looking!

Day End
