We open at the restaurant known as Russia Sushi where inside Dan, Luffy, Ranma and Pit were having a little buffet of sushi.
"Mmm. You know what I missed about Ikebukuro? The sushi." Pit said.
"Yeah. This is pretty rocking." Dan said.
"We should consider getting a platter to go after we're all done on this world." Ranma said.
"Yeah. It's good!" Luffy said looking over at the bar to see Simon serving a bald man in a suit as well as a familiar guy with dreadlocks. "Hey, isn't that guy always with Shizuo?"
"Yeah. That's Tom. Guess work must have finished for the day." Dan said before he got some strange feeling as his eyes glowed red.
"Dan? You okay buddy?" Luffy asked.
"Red Eyes? Guys, doesn't that seem familiar?" Pit said.
"Yeah. He was slashed by Saika the first time we came here." Ranma said.
"Guys. I'm fine. The curse doesn't affect me as much as it did the first time." Dan said.
"So… you're not gonna go all 'kill for mother' on us again? Not that i don't think Anri would do that." Luffy said.
"No...I think the ones infected by Saika are getting some feeling." Robin said.
"Yeah. And I am getting a big one. The children and grandchildren of another mother are starting to cause a ruckus." Dan said.
As Tom was headed out the door, he saw a large crowd of red eyed people outside. One of them approached and tried to claw him until Simon caught the guy.
"Fighting no good. Eat sushi good. But it late, so we close." Simon said tossing the man aside as the two went back into the restaurant as Simon shut and locked the door. He then began speaking to Dennis in Russian. (They're zombies. If you get bitten, you're in trouble. You'll turn into zombie.)
"Folks, I'm gonna have to ask you to stay in awhile longer." Dennis said.
"What? Stay in here? Our friends are fighting whatevers out there, we need to help them!" Pit said.
"No, he's right. Look." Robin said looking out the window.
Outside was total chaos as they saw a large mass of red eyed people outside. As normal people were passing by, they were bitten and clawed at, infecting them with Saika's curse as well.
"What the? I didn't know teeth and fingernails could be Saika too." Dan said.
Tom and the bald man began helping with barricading the door.
"Damn, they're Saika zombies." the man said.
"Wait, you know about them?" Natsu asked.
"I'm Kine. Sup." he said.
"Kine...isn't he suppose to be Ex-Awakusu?" Robin wondered.
"Anyway, what we have here is some kind of hypnosis that makes the victims do whatever they're told." Kine said.
"So there's someone controlling them, right?" Tom asked.
"I know a couple people capable of doing this. But I dunno why any of them would wanna surround a sushi joint. How about you, boss man?" Kine asked.
"No idea. Maybe they're after you guys." Dennis said.
"Pretty sure I haven't pissed off any hypnotists lately." Tom said.
"Maybe not you, smartass but maybe someone you work with." Dennis said.
"Uh…" Tom said thinking of Shizuo and Varona. "Yeah. I do know some people like that."
"Hey, we have fun sleepover tonight, ya? There plenty firecracker to go around." Simon said walking in with a bag, opening it to reveal some weapons like guns and grenades.
"Hey, you know how I feel about arming the customers." Dennis said.
"Damn. That is some arsenal. Totally illegal to have in this country but….damn." Tom said.
Kine then picked up one of the grenades. "This is a Flash Grenade. Its army grade shit." Kine said.
"Simon, why do you have all this stuff?" Dan asked.
"We used to work for the Soviet Special Forces back in the days when the Soviet Union was still around. So we have some weapons left over." Dennis said.
"Yes. Fire and bullet always mix in bad way. So we shoot fire works. And Maya and Magi are friendly." Simon said holding up two rifles.
"What kind of guy names his guns?" Dan said.
"Dante." Pit said giving an example.
"So essentially, you want to arm up incase those zombies break in?" Ranma asked.
"No...we wait for our chance to break out. Until then...we arm." Simon said.
Meanwhile in the alleyway, Vashyron was starting to come to.
"Ugh. What happened? I remember going with Zephyr but…" Vashyron said before seeing a metal box and the suit guy going for it. Before the two could grab it, it was then picked up by Shingen.
"Aw, poor Seichiro and Vashyron. A little too late to the punch." Shingen said. "Shizuo's incredible isn't he? I was hiding back there and saw everything. And blocking that excavator? That was so amazing I almost peed my pants!"
"Why are you here?" Vashyron asked.
"Well I heard Miss Kujiragi kidnapped my son and figured this man was behind it. And what else do I find here...why what a lovely head. But I know it doesn't belong to you. Makes me wonder. What should I do? Should I turn this into the police….or return it to its rightful owner?" Shingen said looking to Celty's black mass. "What do you know? Its owner just happens to be right there."
"No you idiot! You know what will happen when you give it back? The boy was in love with the dullahan's body right? If it gets its head back, Kujiragi said it would forget all it's memories of its former life.' Seichiro said.
"Oh don't worry about it. Believe me. My son can take it. Even if Celty did forget about him, he wouldn't stop. Even in another 20 years." Shingen said tossing the head up only to drop a few inches away. "Oh well, can't break omelettes without making a few eggs."
"I think you have it mixed up. And you don't break omelettes, you make them." Egor said picking it up and wrapping it in his shirt. Then began swinging it around and around before it went into the black mass.
Izaya stood on top as Petra and Aelita had caught up to him. "It's over Izaya." Aelita said.
"I don't think it's over. In fact...I think the shows just starting." Izaya said as an eruption of shadow occurred from the alley making a pillar. Standing there was Celty now clad in a suit of black armor carrying both her head and scythe as she made a stairway.
"Celty...with her head. Wait, does that mean…" Petra started.
"So...how does it feel to have your head back?" Izaya asked.
"And who might you be?" Celty asked.
"What a shame. It seems the Celty I knew is long gone. As much as I would like to get reacquainted, I have other business to attend to." Izaya said.
"You should forget you ever saw me, human." Celty said marching away.
"I don't really care for you anyway. As I love humans." Izaya said.
As the ground group headed up the stairs, as soon as Shizuo opened a door, they saw part of the floor covered in some liquid.
"The hell?" Zephyr asked.
Jexi sniffed the air. "Get back!" he said as it was quickly ignited into flames.
Shizuo ripped the door off as he put it on the ground as the group used it to get to the dry spare. As a pillar was about to fall on them, Shizuo knocked it away. They looked up to see Izaya smirking at them from above.
"Izaya, what the hell are you doing?!" Hope asked.
"Honestly...I'm getting rid of a monster and a few humans." Izaya said.
"So this really is it. The last fight between us?" Jexi asked.
"So it would seem. I hate to say it but I'm gonna miss having you and Hope-chan around. You two are humans and you made life interesting." Izaya said.
"Leave them out of this, Izaya. This is between me and you!" Shizuo said.
"True….but...it wouldn't hurt to tie up other loose ends as well." Izaya said.
"I know what you mean." Hope said. "We've been your puppets long enough. Time to cut some strings."
