We open back up to the battle between the Blue Squares and the Saika Army as Rokujo, Rainbow and Ross continued to hold their own. It was at that moment that they noticed one Aoba Kuronuma hiding in the shadows.
"So, I'm gonna go on a limb and say you're the real leader of these morons. You seem like a smart kid so let me ask. You see anything wrong with this crowd?" Rokujo said.
"Aoba, this guy is more than we can handle. Same with the chick and the ox man. What are we gonna do man?" one of them asked.
"Stop freaking out and wake some of the guys up." Aoba said.
"Hello! A little rude to ignore us." Rokujo said.'
"Yeah, shouldn't leaders pay more attention?! You're really dumb not to, Aoba!" Rainbow asked.
"Sorry, still trying to process what you just did." Aoba said.
"Yeah well, I was holding back." Rokujo said.
"Is everyone from Saitama as strong as you?" Aoba asked before he smiled as they heard motorcycle horns blaring.
"Kind of funny those guys picked tonight for a meet up don't ya think?" Rokujo asked.
"As of tonight, they're members of the Dollars." Aoba said as phones were going off all over.
"And I bet you just emailed them about us." Rokujo said.
"You know it." Aoba said. "Don't you just love technology? I told them you three are enemies of the Dollars."
"As if this night couldn't get any worse." Ross said. "This has to be every single biker gang in the Kanto region of Japan."
"Well, we're definitely not getting outta this without a scratch." Rainbow said. "Though...I'm actually fine taking a hit or two."
From the building above, Masaomi was looking down.
"A crapload of biker gangs just showed up." Masaomi said.
"There's more than just bikers. There's also plain old thugs. They're all members of the Dollars. I once made people like that leave the Dollars before but then I realized that wasn't enough. I had to hit em where it hurts. It's kind of funny. These guys will beat up someone no problem, but when you threaten to leak nasty details about their families, they panic." Mikado said.
"Wait, are you saying you…" Masaomi began before seeing a gun in Mikado's hands. "Where...where did you get that?"
"Too much has happened." Mikado said. "And it isn't your fault. This is all gonna end tonight. Everyone down there is a Dollar. To see the scope of this amazing thing I made."
"You...you wanted this?" Masaomi said.
"It gave me kind of a thrill at first. But then, I got bored with it. Then I figured, why don't I turn it into something you and Anri could be a part of. I was so proud of this thing I made, I wanted to show it." Mikado said.
"Show us this?" Masaomi said.
"After the first meeting, Izaya gave me a warning. He said...even if I escape my boring life, I would get bored with this one soon enough. He was right." Mikado said.
"He's lying to you, you idiot! That guy tells someone one thing and then the opposite to another. And he just sits back and laugh at how everyone around him suffers!" Masaomi said.
"I know that's his deal. But even if he didn't say it, I would have gotten bored." Mikado said.
"That's just another trick. He makes you think…" Masaomi began before Mikado pointed the gun at him. "What do you think you're doing?"
"I guess even a guy like you is afraid of getting shot." Mikado said.
"Just stop it alright! Just throw that thing in the goddamn river before you use it!" Masaomi shouted.
"But...I already have." Mikado said.
Meanwhile with the David group, as they rolled down the streets, they soon spotted Erika on a bridge waving at them. What they noticed about her was her red eyes.
"There she is!" Walker said.
"But it looks like we're too late. The Saika's already got her." Soul said.
"According to Tails, they still have feeling, so for now, let's just see how it plays out before we do anything rash." David said.
"Uh...where was that speech five seconds ago?" Leanne asked before Walker and Gray were restraining Erika as Anri approached with Saika.
"Wait! Stop stop! I'm normal! I'm just wearing my red anime contacts!" Erika said freaking out as the contacts fell out.
"Contacts?" Gray asked.
"Can't you guys tell by the way she's freaking out? Let her go!" Kyohei said.
"See? Told you we shouldn't do anything rash." David said.
"Ah! Way to spoil the tearful reunion scene." Erika said relaxing.
"Sorry." Gray said.
"Hey, guys. Listen." Saburo said turning up the TV to the news.
"To recap, there have been two reported shootings. One at the Ikebukuro Police Station and the other happened at the home of Dogen Awakusu, the head of the powerful crime syndicate, the Awakusu Group." the newswoman said. "We also find graffiti outside these places most likely caused by local troublemakers. We are still figuring out if the two shootings are related."
"Oh brother. Take a guess at who the troublemakers are." Saburo said.
"Dollars." Kyohei said.
"Then those biker gangs we saw on the way here…" Colette started.
"They were all on Aoba's call. Damn… Gotta give the guy credit for one thing, he's got some good sources." David said.
But as they talked, a small bang was heard throughout the area.
Rokujo group…
"Whoa. You guys hear what I just heard? Sort of like a bang." Rokujo said.
"Someone shot somebody!" Rainbow said.
As they talked, an injured Izaya ran onto the scene.
"It's a bigger crowd than I expected. I see half are Saika zombies. I can work with this." Izaya said.
"Who are you?" Rokujo asked before they saw a car tossed into the air as they saw Shizuo and his group approaching. "Holy crap! It's Heiwajima. Don't tell me you asked him to back you up too."
"Nah man. He isn't with the Dollars anymore." Aoba said.
Shizuo approached as he dragged a vending machine with Izaya pulling out his knife.
"Alrighty. Time to start the show." Izaya said.
David group…
"Did anyone just hear a pop?" Anri asked.
"I think someone fired a gun." Kyohei said. "I think it came from the building on the left. I'm not 100% sure though."
As they talked, Izumi was approaching the van as he without warning began bashing the windshield with his hammer.
"That dick!" Saburo said about to run him over before Kyohei stopped him.
Izumi then walked over to the side window and looked inside. "Hehehe. It's my lucky day today. The league of extraordinary assholes."
"You're one to talk." Mayumi said.
"Izumi?" Namie said.
"Izumi? Really? Did you dye your hair or something?" Erika asked.
"You got skinny too. What? Didn't they feed you in juvie?" Kyohei asked.
"Holy shit! It's Kadota! Looks like I get to kill you after all." Izumi said. As Kyohei was about to open the door, Izumi shut it with his foot. "Ah ah! Didn't say you could come out. Sit tight. The demolition show's about to start!" Izumi said as several thugs arrived with bats and tools.
"Well this is just great…" David said.
"And just so you know, I don't plan on letting any of you go. Now how about we start with Walker and...hey!" Izumi said noticing Walker wasn't inside. "Where'd he go? Guess he's not here. Huh?" he said seeing Saki. "Holy crap! It's Masaomi's piece of ass. This just got better. What are the odds? This is some fate stuff! And I have Mikado to thank for all of it!"
"Mikado?" Fluttershy said.
"Yeah. He's the boss of the Blue Squares now. He is and he is doing some really crazy stuff and I love it. And that shot...gotta be from the gun I gave him." Izumi said.
"MIkado shot someone?! Who'd he shoot, tell us!" Applejack asked.
"No clue. But I bet it was some asshole. Ha! It's easy to give a messed up kid a gun and see what they do with it." Izumi said.
"So what is the plan with us? You gonna kill us because we've seen too much? That's usually how these scenarios work." Indigo said.
"Nah. I'm just killing ya cause I can. Plus some vengeance mixed in with Kadota." Izumi said.
Back on the rooftops a few minutes earlier, Masaomi lunged at Mikado who fired the gun only to graze Masaomi's cheek.
"I bet you learned to shoot from online tips. I didn't think you'd shoot that unless you had both hands on it!" Masaomi said headbutting Mikado, making him drop the gun and kicked it away. "You idiot!" he said punching him. "You wanted us to be part of this? Yeah I ran away from everything but Anri's been here the whole time! Did you even think about her? Did you even think how she feels? And how you're breaking her heart?" Masaomi said.
"It doesn't matter what I do or say about the Dollars anymore." Mikado said putting a strange device on his hand as he made a fist and pushed it into Masaomi's leg.
"Wait, what are you?" Masaomi began before a shot was fired into his leg as he got off.
"Cool huh? Some American terrorist designed it years ago. It fires if you push it against something. Handy huh?" Mikado said.
Meanwhile with the David Group…
"You know, Izumi." David said. "I hardly knew you, but I never that someone affiliated with Mikado would be such a twisted bastard."
"Doesn't matter what you think." Izumi said about to bash David before Walker jumped onto the top of the car with a fire extinguisher.
"I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long." Walker said as fire came out of the extinguisher, making Izumi jump back in fear and scream away from the car as well as his men.
"Why you! I'm gonna kill you Walker!" Izumi said.
"Go on! You guys need to get out of here!" Kyohei said.
David clenched his fist. "No way. I'm not leaving you guys with this maniac."
"We'll be fine. You guys need to find Mikado. We can handle these guys." Kyohei said.
"Yeah. We'll take care of these guys." Saburo said.
"That's a death flag if I never heard one." Erika said.
David smiled at that. It reminded him of how his old gang used to be before his world went to hell. "They're right. They can take it."
"If what he said was true, then I think we have a good idea where Mikado is." Tapu Fini said.
The group soon ran out leaving the foursome to fight the thugs. Saburo then slapped the door in one of them before getting out. "You eels just messed up my van. I'm gonna eat your fricken souls!"
Back on the building…
"I did it. I can't believe I shot you. It was so easy. Like nothing. If I could do that to you...what's stopping me from doing it to someone else? Like Anri. If I can do that, then I can do worse. I can make everyone around me suffer." Mikado said breaking down in tears. "I can't let the Dollars keep going. And I can't either."
"Stop talking like you're…" Masaomi began as Mikado was pointing the device at his head. "You can't fix anything by killing yourself, you pussy!"
"I keep thinking about how bad I wanted an extraordinary life. How far I had to go. And what I have do to stop this searching." Mikado said.
"Stop this now! You're being played! Izaya's been playing with you from the start! I swear...I'll kill him! I'll kill him! I'll make that bastard pay...even if it takes me the rest of my life!" Masaomi said.
"Thank you...and I'm sorry. I'm actually looking forward to this next part. Like, what if after I die, there's something else? A place I've never seen before." Mikado said.
"No! Don't do it!" Masaomi said.
"Sorry. I have to." Mikado said.
Everything went dark as a shot was heard.
