Game. Ready. Start.

Hunters- Mugino Shizuri, Kinuhata Saiai

Prey- Hamazura Shaige

Evacuation point- Takitsubo Rikou


10 minutes ago

Hamazura was currently in a hotel booking rooms for one night. He was interrupted when he received a phone call that would turn the very next hour into a death game.

He answered Kinuhata's phone call to hear the next sentence.

"Hey Hamazura, now that you and Rikou are separated it's time to play the survival penalty game!"

This was a game that was usually played when Hamazura and Rikou were separated. The point of the game was for the hunters(Saiai and Mugino) to capture the prey(Hamazura). The only way for the prey to win was to reach the evacuation point(Rikou). The first hunter to capture the prey will be taken out to dinner by the prey. If the prey wins then the hunters will pay the dinner for the prey and evacuation point.


Present time

Hamazura was now running like a mad man through the hotel hallway.

"If I just stay in the hotel they shouldn't be able to find me. I'll just wait for Rikou to get here and it will be our victory."

Hamazura didn't stay in the room he reserved because there would be a big probability that the hunters would just ask for any room that a certain Hamazura booked and head there first. His game plan is just to hide in this 4 star hotel till his evacuation point arrives.

As he took a turn on the hallway he was reminded how much bad luck he truly had. A few feet from him he could see Kinuhata Saiai asking some hotel worker something.

Kinuhata noticed very quickly before Hamazura had a chance to react.

He left the side of the hotel worker and start walking, then running towards Hamazura.

Hamazura turned tail and made a dash backwards.

Hamazura was just about to make it back to another intersection of hallways. To his rotten luck a hotel room cleaner was passing by with a cart full of supplies for rooms. He couldn't pass it by the side or jump over it and he was about to reach it. Kinuhata was hot on his tail.

Hamazura took a hard left and rapidly open the first door he saw that was right infront of the hotel room cleaner. It was apparently a fire escape. It had multiple levels of stairs till it reach the first floor. It was for employees in case of emergencies and it took it to a employee area. Hamazura didn't care and started running down the stairs. Wasen't long before Kinuhata ran through the door and started chasing him

"Hamazura~" she happily yelled as she chased him.

Kinuhata suddenly jumped off the fire escape but grabbed a railing with one hand and sling shot her way to the same level Hamazura was in cutting of his route for the next flight of stairs.

"Eh! That's so unfair!" Hamazura stopped and nervously back tracked.

Kinuhata gently walked forwards with her arms behind her back.

"It will be so fun when we go out on our da-te"

Hamazura finally reached the railing and there was no other place to go. He could go upstairs again but odds where that a younger aged but more physically fit person would catch him. In other words there was no way out.

"it's over Hamazura"

Hamazura then closed his eyes. He suddenly fell back off the fire escape.

Kinuhata's eye shot open "What are you doing, am I that ugly that you would kill yourself!?"

Saiai rushed towards the railing and looked down.

Hamazura apparently landed in a dumpster at the side of the fire escape successfully escaping Saiai.

"It's not that, you're actually really attractive but I have no intentions of losing this penalty game!"

He said as he jumped of the dumpster.

Hamazura was a level 0 but he was very resourceful in tight situations. Aleister even named him 'The one that defies finality' due to the fact that in the most inescapable situations, Hamazura always found a way to survive. He was determined to win. Mostly for the fact that he was really broke and couldn't afford a 5 star restaurant so his motivation to win shot even greater. Also if he won it would equal free food so even more motivation for poor old hamazura.

Hamazura was happily strolling out of the employee area with bubble and birds around him. Suddenly he heard a crash behind him. Saiai jumped all the way from the 5 floor and landed on her feet. Hamazura forgot something, she was a level 4.

Hamazura screamed and pushed a passing employee off his work golf cart and he got on. He rushed and escape till where the golf cart could pass. Hamazura raced out of the work area, into the public pool area, Into the halls of the apartment and stop in the front door of the hotel. He got off and ran to the streets of Academy City. He got his phone out and speed dialed a number, It was Takitsubo Rikou's.

A gentle calm voice picked up "Hello Hamazura"

"Hey, are you aware we're playing the Survival penalty game?"

Hamazura sounded agitated as he looked around trying to cross the street but to many cars where passing.

"Yes, Mugino called me"

"I see, Kinuhata's hot on my trail where should we meet?"

"I guess we're both in district 15?"

"Yeah"

"Let's meet at café Hope, Im 10 minutes away"

"Sure, If I go running I should make it about the sa-"

Hamazura started to stutter. At the opisite side of the road was the other hunter, Mugino. The traffic was heavy so she couldn't pass but Hamazura's original plan of crossing the street is out the window. A truck passed infront of Mugino and when it completely passed Meltdowner wasn't there anymore.

"Shit! I'll meet you there bye!"

Hamazura pressed his foot against the ground and started a mad dash to his right.

Mugino wasn't one to use her power in public, even if she was a level 5, she liked to maintain a civil atmosphere in the eyes of the public. On the opposite side Kinuhata didn't really care. On one side if hamazura sticked to crowded places it would be easier to lose Mugino but kinuhata would probably sneak up on him and take him out. On the other hand if he stick to vacant complicated places it would be easier to evade Saiai but Mugino blow him up with a meltdowner.

It was about a 50/50 call but Hamazura decided to stick with the public environment as Kinuhata wasn't around.

The weakest level 0 kept running and running looking everywhere for the 4th level 5 but couldn't see her. Who knew if he was running towards a trap.

He was about to reach a bus stop. It would be a detour to the café but it would be a safe way to travel. So he thought. Mugino was right infront of him at the corner of the side walk, only a few feet apart. Hamazura's hair on the back of his neck raised like flags as he quickly got on the bus and went towards the middle. He picked a window seat where another passenger would take the seat beside him.

He started to sweat nervously.

His heart could be heart pounding against his heart.

The bus driver looked back to see if everyone was seated but as he was about to close the door a hand stomped it. Mugino entered the bus.

Hamazura's first thought was to jump through the window but he knew that was a stupid idea. Plan B. He just stayed staring forward. Mugino got to where he was sitting but a passenger was on the seat next to him. No words where said, just a grunt by the 4th. She looked at him while he looked straight ahead trying to avoid her gaze.

"Hmph"

With that she took a seat to the opposite side of Hamazura but 1 lane back. Hamazura could breathe again. One of the various outcomes he had thought of was she would jump on top of him or give him a meltdowner. This was the best outcome, Mugino didn't want to look less lady like in front of a crowd.

They bus drove on for some time.

During the time the bus was moving Hamazura was texting with Rikou, his girlfriend. There text went something like:

Rikou: I'm in the café, where are you?

Hamazura:W8 a litle, In a bus with Lazer girl sitting close 2 I

Rikou: Did you lose?

Hamazura: Nop

Rikou then I'll get close to the bus terminal and find you on the way so the distance you have to run is shorter.

Hamazura: Thanks *a baby picture is inserted here*

Rikou: I still don't like it how you text…

The bus stopped, it reached the terminal. Everyone started to get out. Hamazura tried his best to squeeze through the crowd and get to the exit faster than Mugino. He finally exited the bus, without wasting a second he started to run like a mad man.

Mugino finally exited as well. Her face was kind of red.

(damn it, so many perverts on that boss got a touch on me)

She clenched her fist

(Now I can't lose after so much sacrifice!)

Mugino continued the chase.

The terminal was just located beside a park, It had a nice little river cutting straight to the middle so it was very romantic at night. Hamazura was familiar with the park as he had taken Rikou here in the past.

Right now mostly nobody was here as it was around 1pm. The kids where at school while the adults at work.

The very little people that might be here weren't around to witness the chase.

Suddenly a Meltdowner exploded in front of the level 0. The explosion sent him flying backwards.

Mugino stepped upped behind him.

"Ha-ma-zu-RA!"

The hair at the back of hamazura's neck jumped. He started to backwards crawl away from the 4th level 5.

"Seems I win" Mugino extended her arm towards him.

If she manages to grab him it's all over.

Only a finger tip away.

ITS OVER!

So he thought.

"huh?" Mugino wondered will she sensed something.

When she looked to her side a phone booth came flying from the side smashing into her.

Hamazura had a dumb founded face. As he looked towards the possibly dead Mugino.

"Hamazura~!"

He heard a piercing yet gentle voice. He quickly looked at the source with the same expression.

It was Kinuhata casually skipping towards him while waving her hand.

"You have to be kidding me"

Hamazura got up and started to run again.

An explosion rang out behind him.

"What the fuck was that! Since when did this become a 90's comedy sitcom!" The phone booth exploded everywhere and Mugino stood up from the rubble.

"Ki-nu-ha-TAAA!"

"Super sorry Mugino but hamazura is super mine~!" She did the most beautiful wink she could possible do in this dire situation.

The level 4 after those words kicked the ground with her Offense Armor ability and send a huge amount of Nitrogen behind her giving her an insane speed boost.

She reach hamazura in a matter of mili seconds.

"Your super mine!"

"Shit!"

Kinuhata suddenly stopped and started to move from side to side. Mugino was firing Meltdowners at her.

As they fought Hamazura made it to the street.

He got his phone out and called Rikou.

"Hey where are you?"

"I'm in Black March street"

"Oh, that's actually pretty close to where I'm at. Stay beside the bank, I'll be there in 10 minutes."


"I'm telling you living here isn't that bad"

The man that said this was none other than the lightning god Thor. He was having a casual talk with a fellow former GREMLIN magician, Cendrillon.

As she drank coffee with Thor in a bakery she thought to herself.

(Liar… Your just stuck in this City like I am and are trying to turn a bad situation good…)

"Are you sure Thor? Aren't you just in denial?"

"If I'm lying may a meteor crash upon us" He said will pumping his fist against his chest."

As he said that a giant burning thing(most likely a car) crashed beside the bakery. They both looked out the window.

"Liar…" Cendrillon casually said.

A blonde headed boy with a brown jacket passed by running infront of the bakery where both magicians where casually talking. Behind him two girls followed, one was the meltdowner and the other was Offense Armor.

"Shit Im just a few seconds away from the bank!"

"Hamazura~"

"HAMAZURA!"

The girls yelled out.

He looked infront, The extraction point or in other words Rikou was in front of the bank in the same pink jumpsuit as always.

A few centimeters away. It was about to end.

Mugino almost had her arm around Hamazura.

She suddenly fell, Kinuhata grabbed her leg and they both fell. Hamazura made it.

She hugged Rikou as he won.

"Yeah! First time I win!"

Hamazura celebrated.

Mugino and Kinuhata where on the floor.

"Whats the big deal Saiai!?"

"Pfft, I super prefer that he won than you?"

"Eh!?"

They got up and dusted their clothes.

"I don't understand Kinuhata" Hamazura cut in.

"It super means that for my services you now have to super take me to see a movie!"

Hamazura scratched his head as he looked at Rikou. She nodded.

I guess it's alright.

"Yippy! I'm super going out with Hama-chan!"

"As friends"

"Sure, super thing whatever you want. Won't change wait it super really is"

Seems everyone won except for Mugino.

"I'll remember this for next time! I'll be back stronger, better!"


Game Over.
