Chapter 2

Heroes First Quest

In the morning, Kyousuke decided to train our swing with someone pitching, since we had enough people to do it. I was behind Yuuto so I can catch the ball, and Yuuto who is batting, while Kyousuke was pitching.

"Alright, let's see how good you truly are." Kyousuke said.

"It will be simple, I can do it." Yuuto said, confidently.

"Okay, get ready!" Kyousuke begin throwing the ball.

"Strike one."

"Strike two."

"Strike three, you're out." I said.

"Man, real life baseball is too unreal, and boring, unlike real baseball from my video games, I'd win the game all the time." He said, and Kyousuke was shocked at his performance.

"Game?..."

"Well, you do have a point about you being good at video game, but you must learn how to play "real" life baseball, Yuuto." I said.

"Fine, but I'd like to know how to swing it better and precise."

"That an easy answer." Kyousuke smile.

"Oh really, what is it?" Yuuto ask.

"Training!" He proudly said, and Yuuto was dumbfounded by Kyousuke's answer.

"Right, let's just keep going then…" He sigh, and continue with our training. We stop our training, and Yuuto barely got the hang of it. Kyousuke call for me, and we talk.

"Vergil, I need to talk to some people, and also I want them to approve our team officially." Kyousuke said.

"Don't you need more people before announcing to them about the team."

"Yeah, but I want to secure our team, just in case." He said, before leaving, and Yuuto came.

"Where is Kyousuke leaving?" Yuuto ask.

"He had some important stuff to do with registering our team." I explain. "So, what are you going to do in your free time."

"For now, I'd like to eat something, before going to the Arcade."

"Can I tag along, since Kyousuke is busy." I said.

"I don't mind." He responded, and we went to a near take out place. We order our food, and took our seat.

"So, do you live with your family near by, because I don't remember seeing you in the boys dorm." I said, and he seem uncomfortable.

"Well, you're right about me not being in the boys dorm, and the reason why is because I live in a apartment with my older sister."

"Old sister?" I wonder. "What about your parents?"

"They are not here..." He said, sadly.

"Oh, I'm sorry for bringing bad memory to you."

"It's okay, you didn't know." He said, and our food came. We both began eating our food, and drinking our soda. Yuuto was drinking his soda, before asking me a question.

"Where are your family?" He ask, and I sigh.

"Well, my mother is gone, and my father is still alive." I responded with a blank expression. "I'm a only child, and I lived in a dorm with Kyousuke."

"Oh, I didn't know you lost your family, I'm sorry, but at least you have your father." I look down, and muttered.

"Yeah..I'm so glad…" And when I find him, I'll personal-

"Is something wrong?" he ask.

"No, it's nothing." I answer, and we headed out to the Arcade. I noticed that Yuuto was already in a arcade machine.

"Wow, that was fast."

"Of course, I don't want people to play my favorite games, and me wait for them to finish." He smile, and focusing on the game. I went to the counter to exchange my bills for coins, but I noticed a little girl looking sad.

"Why are you sad?" I ask her.

"Oh, well…" She seem nervous. "I want that giant stuff rabbit, but you need to reach the top score for this game, and I can't beat it." I look the stuff rabbit, and the score you need to get, and it was too high for anyone to achieve.

"I'll get it for you." I said.

"Really!?" She look surprise, and I nodded. "Thank you mister!" I insert a coin, and begin the game. What am I doing, I can't possibly win that stuff toy for her, and yet I'm still doing regardless. I was doing good, but I lost the game, and I see that I never came close to the score for the stuff animal.

"Here you go mister, a ring for your score." I look at the ring, and then the girl was about to cry. I knew it was going to fail, but I need to think of something or else…. I hear Yuuto enjoying himself, and switch around between arcade cabinet, then it hit me. He can definitely do it, and achieve that high score.

"Yuuto!" I called for him, and he came next to me.

"What wrong?" He ask.

"Can you see that stuff animal score." I point at the very high score.

"Yeah."

"Can you beat it?"

"Yeah, child's play." He said, confidently.

"Perfect, then I want you to beat it for me." He seem suspicious at first, but agreed with me, since it was a video game, and he enjoys video games. He start the game, and was focusing at the only game, ignoring everything around him. I can't believe I won against this person.. It took a while, before he smile, and announced his victory to us.

"There you go, I did it like I promise."

The guy in the counter was holding the giant stuff rabbit, and really shocked due to Yuuto beating the high score of the game.

"I'll take that." I said, and grab the stuff animal. I gave the prize to the little girl, and she was very happy.

"Thanks you Mister!" She happily said, and turn to Yuuto. "Thanks you too, as well." She hug his legs, and he was embarrassed.

"No problem….." After that, we decided to call it a day, and walk outside in the night.

"You were not bad at that game, Yuuto." I said.

"Of course, I play every game in every genres, so I was pretty confidence in my gaming skill."

"Yeah, that girl was pretty happy with you, and you did that with you skills." This caused him to be a little embarrassed.

"Y-Yeah, I guess I did, didn't i?" He scratch his head. As we were talking about the Arcade, people were circling around us, and they didn't look friendly.

"Well, well, look what we found walking around our turf, once again." A man with sun glasses speak. "You think you can escape this time, after what you done to our boys last time!"

"They were getting in my way, it wasn't my fault they rob the wrong guy."

"well, let's see if you can handle 12 of us this time, you can't do it now." The man laugh, and one of them speak.

"But Vice-boss, there another guy with the little brat." Guy #1 said.

"Who care, beat them both to a pulp either way." He command the rest of the guys, and of them came close to me.

"Sorry little guy, order are order." Guy #2 attack me, and I dodge his attack, and counterattack by kicking him on his stomach. The guy fall down on the ground, and one of them scream.

"You piece of shit, you will pay for that!" Guy #3 yelled, and start running toward me, but he falls down on the ground.

"You should focus on me too." Yuuto said, and we were both at each others back.

"So, what the plan?" I ask.

"We need to beat them all to get out of here, just think of it like a random monster encounter, and we are the hero to save the day." He said, and everyone start rushing toward us. Two of them came to me, but I block all of their attack, and kick both guy #4, and guy #5 in the jaw. Yuuto hit guy #6, and guy #7 behind the neck, and they both fainted. I noticed one of the guy sneaking behind Yuuto, and attacking him with a knife.

"Look out." I ran toward the guy, and jump to kick him in the head. Guy #8 was flying toward a wall, and was knock out. "You should be more careful." I said. He started to run after me, and punch someone behind me. It was guy #9 about to attack me, but Yuuto save me.

"Now we're even." Yuuto said. Guy #9, guy #10, and guy #11 flee from battle, and the mid-boss remain.

"What the hell are you three running from!" Mid-boss yell. "No matter, I'll do it myself."

"Only the Mid-boss remain." Yuuto said.

"Yeah, let's go." We both rush at him, I try to kick him, while Yuuto punch, but he block them both.

"I'm not weak like the other." He smile, and throw both us away. I quickly rush at him, and attack him. He block all my attack, and try to punch me, and use this opportunity to counterattack with a kick on legs. He took the damage, but he return the favor with a punch to my side, and sending me back away from him.

"Damn it…" I got up, but with damage already done to me. "You purposely allow yourself to get hit, so you can hit me back." I said.

"Of course, but now you can't win this battle." He smile, and I approach Yuuto.

"Yuuto, we need a big move to finish this guy off, do you have any thing like that." I whispered to him, and he thinks for a sec, until he got something. He whisper something to me, and I nodded.

"Try to paralyzed his arms and legs to do that move, and we had to do it in my try." I look at my arm. "We have only one chance to do it." He nodded.

"No matter what you do it won't work on me." He rush toward us. "Let's end this!"

"Let's go." Yuuto was in front, and I was behind him. He try to punch Yuuto, but I block his attack, and paralyzed his arm. Mid-boss attack with his other arm, and it got paralyzed like his other arm. Yuuto quickly paralyzed both of his legs.

"Alright, grab him Vergil." I used all my strength to pick him up, and his head was in top aiming toward the sky.

"What are you two doing!" He scream. My arm is hurting so bad, but I need to last a bit longer. Yuuto start running toward us, and both of us saying something in unison.

"Powerbomb Shiranui!" Yuuto jump to grab Mid-boss' head, and slamming him down to the ground. He was knock out by the move we pull off.

"That was amazing, we did it." He smile, and celebrating.

"Yeah, let's get out of here." We both left from there, and we went back to our home. The next morning, my arm was hurting from last night…encounter. I noticed Yuuto with some miner cut, and we both smile at each other. Kyousuke was shocked when he see us like this.

"What happen to both of you?" Kyousuke ask.

"We fell from some stairs, while running around." Yuuto quickly respond.

"Oh, I see, well try to not run near the stairs next time."

"Yeah." We started to train again, and Yuuto was still practicing with his swing, but this time he hit the balls with a foul.

"You're getting better now." Kyousuke said.

"Yeah." Kyousuke throw the ball, and surprisingly Yuuto hit it correctly. Yuuto was surprise, but it quickly turn into joy.

"Yeah, I finally did it!" He celebrated. Another nice day for Little Buster, and we're going to grow bigger, and stronger every day….48 chapters left until the truth...
