Disclaimer: I do not own Future Diary
Jonathan woke up on Emily's couch the next morning, he heard knocking at the door, he went to answer, it was Kevin.
"Oh, Detective Kagen, what is it?" asked Jonathan
"It's Twelfth, we think she was abducted last night" said Kevin
"By who?" asked Jonathan
"Some underground mixed martial arts circuit, at least, that's what my diary tells me" said Kevin
"I'll tell Emily" said Jonathan
==Later==
Kevin was driving Jonathan and Emily to the location of the martial arts circuit, a lot of people were waiting for the fights, Kevin had asked to talk to the boss of the circuit.
"Sorry, no one sees the boss without an appointment" said the employee
"Can't you just ask?" asked Kevin
"Fine, but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you" said the employee
==Meanwhile==
A female fighter was in the training room getting ready for a fight when she heard a beeping coming from her duffel bag, she checked her phone.
"This should be fun" said the fighter
==Outside==
The employee went to talk to Kevin.
"Looks like there's a first time for everything, the boss is fine with seeing you" said the employee
"Alright" said Kevin
The employee took Kevin, Jonathan and Emily to see the boss, the female MMA fighter peeked at them from around a corner.
"Jonathan Raven, aka seventh, evader of 2 dead ends, and not to hard on the eyes, shame about the cane though" thought the fighter
Kevin, Jonathan and Emily entered an office where a man in a brown suit was sitting.
"Hello there, my name is Edward Dustin, the owner of this fine martial arts division" said the man
"Nice to meet you" said Jonathan
"Nice to meet you too...Jonathan, or, should I call you Seventh" said Edward
"Wait? You're a diary user?" asked Jonathan
"Me? No, but I know someone who is, TORI!" said the man
A tall, muscular teenage girl with long blonde hair entered the office.
"This is Tori, she's my best fighter, a few weeks ago, she told me all about this survival game, I didn't believe her at first, but then, she started predicting the future and I was in awe" said Edward
"It's true, I am Eighth" said Tori
"So you're a diary user too?" asked Emily
"Yep, this is my diary..." said Tori
Tori pulled out her cell phone.
"...The Brawler Diary, with it, I can predict the fighting strategy of all my opponents in hand to hand combat" said Tori
Jonathan, a little worried, backed away, Tori laughed slightly.
"Sorry, forgive the laughter, it's just that I've heard your reputation and you're cowering in fear, I can promise you, you do not need to fear me, the terrorist you know as twelfth is in the storage basement, you're free to do with her as you wish" said Tori
"This is too easy" said Kevin
"I assure you, you have no reason to worry" said Tori
Tori showed them her phone
March 18th 23:37
I am killed, there is nothing else I can do.
DEAD END
"You have a dead end?" asked Emily
"She does, but I care about her too much to let her die, that's why me and Tori have decided to offer an exchange, Elizah Bennett is yours, but in exchange, we request that Jonathan Raven stay here tonight and keep her safe" said Edward
"Why me? I'm on a cane" said Jonathan
"You may be crippled, but over the course of this survival game, you have evaded at least 2 dead ends and you even eliminated a psychopathic serial killer" said Tori
"I really hate the word crippled, and besides, you say your diary taps into your opponent's fighting strategy, why would you need protection when you have something that can counter any fighting style?" asked Jonathan
"While every diary possesses it's own strengths, each diary also has a weakness, I happen to know the diaries of the 3 of you, first's diary lets him peek at entries from other diary users, but it's weakness is that it will only let him peek at ones relating to cases he's investigating, if a situation arises when it doesn't relate to one of his cases, he can't peek at other entries" said Tori
"That's true" said Kevin
"Tenth's diary gives her 3 options of how to handle a situation, but it's weakness is that she can't change her mind, not because she's not allowed, but once she's made up her mind, it will be too late to change it" said Tori
"We already knew that" said Emily
"And Seventh, your diary gives you great details about your surroundings and the people around you, but it's weakness is that it never mentions what happens to you unless it's the only thing to talk about" said Tori
"Correct, so what's your diary's weakness?" asked Jonathan
"Well, while my diary tells me the fighting strategy of my opponent, it doesn't tell me WHO my opponent actually is, if it's someone acting as a spy then I can't see it coming" said Tori
"So what do you say? Do we have a deal?" asked Edward
"Uh...can we have a minute to think it over?" asked Jonathan
"Sure" said Tori
Edward and Tori left the office.
"This is a dilemma, if we don't agree then twelfth will eventually escape and most likely kill eighth, if we DO agree, then that could place you in harms way" said Kevin
"Not an easy decision" said Emily
Emily checked her diary.
March 18th 10:39
Jonathan is faced with a dilemma, protect eighth or walk away?
Should I suggest he agree to the terms? Should I argue that he shouldn't?
Should I offer to help him protect eighth?
"I think we should agree" said Emily
"I was about to say the same thing" said Jonathan
==That Night==
Tori was ready for bed while Jonathan guarded the room.
"If you don't mind me asking, what's going on between you and the red-head?" asked Tori
"Nothing really, we're just friends, at least, that's what she says, I think she may just feel sorry for me since she thinks it's her fault I need this cane" said Jonathan
"Oh?" asked Tori
"A while back, I saved her from being mugged, but in the process, my leg was permanently damaged" said Jonathan
"I wouldn't trust her, after all, this is a survival game with a chance to become a god, chances are, once she sees it as necessary, she'll take you out" said Tori
"Is that what your diary says?" asked Jonathan
"No, my instincts" said Tori
Emily walked through the hall to meet with Tori and Jonathan.
"Hey, I brought you some water incase you were thirsty" said Emily
"Thanks" said Jonathan
Jonathan took the glass of water and downed it.
==Meanwhile==
Someone with some sort of detonator in hand pressed the button on it.
==Tori, Jonathan and Emily==
A set of spare blankets that Tori had suddenly caught on fire.
"HOLY CRAP!" screamed Jonathan
Security Guards entered the room to try to put out the fire, one threw a bucket of liquid on the flames, but it only made the flames worse.
"You idiot, that was gasoline" said one of the guards
The other security guard quickly grabbed a knife and stabbed the other guard in the neck.
"Wait, why did I do that?" asked the guard
Jonathan heard something in the hallways and went to check what it was, he saw several security guards brawling and killing eachother.
"What is wrong with these people?" asked Jonathan
Suddenly, the sprinklers came on and put out the fire.
"Huh?" asked Jonathan
Jonathan checked his diary.
March 18th 21:34
The sprinklers had been sabotaged, luckily Kevin
was able to fix them
"That was lucky" said Tori
One of the security guards walked up to Tori.
"Excuse me Tori, there's something you have to see" said the guard
The guard lead Tori, Jonathan and Emily through the hall, the other guards that had been fighting were either dead or had been able to control themselves, in the hallway lay the corpse of Edward.
"Is that Mr Dustin?" asked Jonathan
"Afraid so, he was caught in the middle of this bloodbath, I'm sorry" said the guard
Tori broke down crying and she held Mr Dustin's body close.
"Goodbye Daddy" said Tori
"What did she just say?" asked Emily
"They didn't tell you? Her last name is Dustin, she's Edward's daughter" said the guard
Tori stood up and faced Jonathan.
"Thank you for your bravery" said Tori
"What happened to these people?" asked Jonathan
"Some sort of hypnosis, this was a distraction" said Tori
Jonathan heard a screeching sound and checked his diary.
"Oh no!" said Jonathan
"What is it?" asked Emily
==Meanwhile==
In the storage basement, Elizah was chained to the wall, the person that captured her was sitting in a chair.
"Plotting your escape twelfth? I wouldn't bother" said the man
"Why did you bring me here?" asked Elizah
"Simple, get multiple other diary users together, you, eighth, first and seventh and manipulate their diaries weaknesses" said the man
The man took his white mask from his pocket and put it on.
"Who are you?" asked Elizah
"You can call me...Ninth. I am an agent of truth and justice in this world, a world that is corrupt to the core" said the man
"Wait, you're the vigilante from the news" said Elizah
"Correct" said Ninth
That does it for this edition, hope you enjoyed
