Chapter 15: Confusion
"I think it's about time you were subtracted from the equation." He turned to the crowd of Players. "Now listen up! Your mission is to erase them! You have no time limit, but you can't escape so you don't have many options. Erase them or be stuck here." he yelled into his megaphone while pointing at me and the others except for Joshua. "Meanwhile, I have one last problem to solve."
He pointed at Joshua. "Meet me at the scramble, where you shall be eliminated once and for all!" He shouted before disappearing.
The Players surrounded us. "It's either you or us. Sorry…" one of them said. It was that pink-haired girl. Shiki's 'friend'. Shiki burst into tears. "Why? Why did all of this have to happen…" she whispered. Neku stood by her, ready to fend off any attacks. They came closer, each preparing to strike.
"Stop!" We all turned to see-
"Mr. H?!" we all shouted. Then a blinding light enveloped us.

I eventually woke up in a booth at some café. "Huh? Where am I?! Where is everyone?!" "Hey! Chill! We're here!" Beat popped up from the booth on the other side and scared me. "Ahhh! Beat!" He laughed.
"Ha! You should've seen the look on your face! Hahaha!" "Beat. Now isn't the time for jokes." Mr. H approached us. "What's going on? How'd we get here?!" "I froze time, and brought you all here." I looked around. "Where's Joshua?" He hesitated. "…Joshua is buying us some time." "Time…for what?" I asked curiously.
…
The light vanished.
"Thanks for the help." Joshua said. He starts to walk away. "So, you're facing him again so soon?" Joshua stops. "I guess. I have to keep her safe for now." "Are you sure about this?" Joshua sighs. "Yeah. I'm done trying to avoid the inevitable. Plus, I'm becoming tired of this. It's about time I gave it up."
...
"You need to leave Shibuya." "What?! Why?!" … "Why?!" … "Mr.H! Please tell me." … "What's going on Mr. H?!" I yelled, frustrated from a lack of answers. He sighed. "You don't need to know. Trust me. It's better that you don't know. For now." "But-Never mind." I walked to the door. "I'll find Joshua. Maybe I can get answers then."
I dashed out the door before anyone could stop me.
I should have the next part done soon. Please keep reading and please review!
I forgot to say this before: this story is close to the end. There will be a bad ending and a good ending. I don't know which one I'll post first yet.
