Second coming...
[Nagoya City University Hospital, 8am]
Marin. Wake up. We’ve arrived.
Zzz...
Oh! Great. Let’s do this! (ง’̀-‘́)ง
Fired up I see. Good.
Come on, I’ve gotta get my groove on. We should go.
Everyone just slow down. Remember Tsuchiya said we wouldn’t have any enemies here.
I wouldn’t be so sure of that Ayumu.
Huh? Why not?
The radar Tsuchiya lent me is detecting incoming armored vehicles. They appear to be Future Foundation.
Damn! Hinata must’ve already found us...
Let’s go, come on!
Oh, so NOW we’re rushing.
No. We’re gonna go at a pace. Remember Kego, you stay here and look after the vehicle. There’s a chance we’re gonna need a clean getaway. Mitsunari, you stay here too and talk us through where we need to go.
You can count on us.
*Meanwhile, Hajime and his soldiers gather outside of the Hospital.
We’ve received confirmation that the city has already been evacuated by the time that we arrived here, just so you know.
...Was that Fujimori’s doing?
He did say he didn’t want anyone getting hurt. I guess he figured someone or other might show up and a fight would ensue.
It seems to be very few of them actually here. I count a total of 6 people on the scanner. 3 of them seem to be Fujimori, Todoroki and Itsuki. I can’t figure out who the other three are.
Alright...I’ll take the soldiers and infiltrate the building.
Peko? Fuyuhiko? Mind coming with me?
Not at all.
Sure.
Nagito and Mahiru, you stay outside in case things go south and they want to make a clean getaway.
Alright sir.
...There it is!
*Inside the Hospital, Ayumu and his friends find the machine they’re looking for.
Here’s the briefcase.
Great. Take the tubes out and put them in the machine.
Um...remind Big Sis what this doohicky does again? Poka Poka~ (゜-゜)
It’s gonna mix the DNA from the vials and add some ingredients to it.
Which is gonna make it digestible, and then...Let us have the same thing that Ayumu did.
I’m still not sure how to feel about the fact you used yourself as bait for the experiment before.
It turned out pretty well I think...I didn’t die, right?
I didn’t want to sacrifice any of you guys is all.
That’s very chivalrous.
*All of a sudden, sounds of approaching marching footsteps sound out from below.
Kego over radio: Ayumu, they’re in with you.
How many?
Kego: Too many! They probably want to make sure they can get you!
How long do we have until that finishes?
About 5 minutes.
Isn’t that too long a time? ☉_☉
You don’t need to worry. I’ll hold those goons off for as song as I can.
Aruma. I’ll come with you.
Be careful you two, we’re severely outnumber-
AAAH!
*Ayumu suddenly clutches his head and falls to the floor!
Ayumu-kun!\( °□° )/
Kego: What’s going on!?
Ayumu’s having another migraine! And it looks bad this time!
GRGH! NGGGH! I-I’m ok! Just start the machine! AAAH!
This is bad. It’s different this time...
No...No, I’m fine! Just finish the mission! That’s what matters most!
Tch...
Marin, make sure that machine keeps up what it’s doing. And keep an eye on Ayumu!
Roger that! Poka Poka~ヽ(`Д´)ノ
*Mikoto and Aruma rush off to fend off the soldiers while Marin forces a writhing Ayumu down onto a nearby hospital bed.
Good thing we’re in a hospital. I’m sure I can find you some painkillers...(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
*Meanwhile, Hajime, Peko and Fuyuhiko all begin to make their way up.
Where’s Fujimori and his group?
Mahiru: Two floors above you. But...watch out! Two people are coming towards you!
Huh?
Sorry...but this is too important...! We can’t let you through!
Heehee...Naughty boys and girls like you need a little punishment to keep them in line~
Itsuki and Todoroki!
Guess we have no choice but to fight...!
Hajime. Don’t let Itsuki hit your pressure points! You’ll go numb if she hits them, and you’ll be knocked out if she hits your neck!
*Fuyuhiko readies a pistol, Peko readies her Bamboo Blade and Hajime takes a fighting stance.
Yeah, I got it...Men! Stay back! Let us handle them!
*CRACK!*
AH!
Fuyuhiko!
A whip!?
*Aruma suddenly produces a whip from her belt and almost cracks Fuyuhiko with it. Hajime sees it coming and narrowly moves him out of the way.
HHRRAAGGH!!
*Hajime stomps the ground and causes a shockwave through the concrete. The tremor approaches the two girls.
Wah-!?
!!?
*Mikoto grabs Aruma and throws her in the air, immediately jumping after her, narrowly avoiding the tremor.
What was that!? How’d he do that!?
Because he’s the Ultimate Hope. He has limitless talents and unbound strength. He could end this fight instantly if he wanted.
H-He could? Then why doesn’t he?
Because I don’t want to hurt you guys! Can we not just talk about this!?
...!
*Mikoto, immediately upon landing, bounds off the wall at Fuyuhiko.
Grgh! *BANG!*
*Fuyuhiko attempts to shoot Mikoto in the air, but she avoids by pushing off the wall. She gets in dangerously close and almost takes out Fuyuhiko’s limbs.
AAAH!
GRGH!
*Hajime however jumps in and takes the attack. His limbs go limp.
UGH!
Hajime!
HOOWAH! *CRACK!*
HOOH!
*Aruma attempts to crack her whip at Hajime, but Peko jumps in the way and catches the whip with her blade.
Hajime. Are you ok?
...Gimme a second. DRGH!
*Hajime clenches his fists and pounds his fists together.
I’m ok.
You’re kidding me, he recovered THAT fast?
I told you already Aruma. We can’t beat this guy.
We just need to hold out until he gets here.
He? You mean...
AAAAH AAAAAAAGGGH!!
C-Calm down Ayumu-kun! It’ll be ok! o_O
We just need to hold out until the Microwave is done! (◔◡◔)
GRGH! I...I know...! I...YAAAGH!
*Ayumu tears off his eyepatch and he rolls on the floor, underneath his bed.
Ayumu-kun! ☉_☉
*Marin rushes over and pushes the bed out of the way and checks on Ayumu. He’s motionless on the floor, face down.
...Ayumu-kun?
Marin...Is the machine finished?
...
*Marin checks the machine.
Yes...It’s done.
Good...Good...
Ayumu-kun? Are you alright?
Marin...I have never felt better...
Does this mean...?
Grab the tubes. We’re going.
*pant!* *pant!*
*Aruma and Mikoto are out of breath. Hajime, Fuyuhiko and Peko prove to be too much of a match together.
Alright...As much as I hate to say it, you two, as well as anyone else who’s associated with this, are under arrest.
You...Future Foundation brats always have to ruin everything! You destroy as many people’s lives as you save!
Yeah, yeah, tell that to the judge...
*Fuyuhiko and Hajime approach the two, who attempt to take a final stand.
...You really think you’re amazing, don’t you Kamukura...
Huh?
What’re you on about now?
You think that just because you’re the strongest being alive, that you can’t be defeated?
Well, here’s some advice for you...
Be it due to time, or other means and methods...
Empires always fall in the end...
I seriously have no clue what you’re-
*CRASH!!!*
AAAAH!
WAAAAH!!
Hajime! Fuyuhiko!
*All of a sudden, the ceiling above them gives way, and the rubble crashes down on top of them. Hajime just barely moves Fuyuhiko back before he’s buried.
UGH!
Are you ok!
*Hajime lands on his feet, but Fuyuhiko tumbles on his ass from the force. Peko helps him up.
Th-That’s...!
...
Heehee... ( ˘▽˘)っ
*The dust settles and Fujimori’s silhouette appears alongside Marin’s, who is hugging him.
Ayumu.
Heh. Right on time, am I right?
...Yeah...Right on time.
How...did they do that?
Fujimori...
Hinata...
Sorry...I can’t say I don’t understand what you want to do but...
These actions you’re taking...They’re gonna get people hurt...
Some blood has to be spilled to save a nation...
...Well I can’t risk that...So I’m gonna end things now...!
HYAGH!
*Hajime rushes in...but...
*SMACK!*
!!!??
*Ayumu, with little effort, catches his fist, and twists his arm.
OW AAAAHAAAA!
H-Hajime!?
He’s...overpowering Hajime...!?
...What...
What...ARE you...?
...You and I...
!!!???
*Ayumu opens his eyes.
Are the same...Hajime Hinata...

Tasha Dougé, Day 6 aka My BDAY!! Today I turn 40!!
May 26, 2021. It was the last Super Moon of the year, a Blood Moon, the Flower Moon and a lunar eclipse. This all happened before 8am EDT. What a way to start off my 40th birthday. 40 years on the this earth and I have much to be grateful for and I appreciate all my blessings, including this fellowship. Thank you God, Ancestors, Lwas and the Universe.
Now for those who have been following or are just joining me on this journey, I want to acknowledge the lapse in posts. Today is actually day 9 of my fellowship. For all the bloggers and vloggers out there, I tip my hat to you all in sheer awe. This is not easy to do consistently. I knew that, but now I really KNOW. I mean I am out here in these NYC streets and by the time I get back to the apt, the only thing I want to blog are the number of Zzz’s and snores coming out of me in the bed. Nonetheless, I committed to sharing my journey and I want to. So here we go.
It was a late start on the 26th and that was great because the BDay love was pouring in. Since I can’t celebrate in person, I created a BDAY BINGO game and my friends were game. The day/afternoon started with a good ole game of mini golf. I haven’t played since 2000. So I’m coming into this with tons of rust. PERIODT. I was told that I would have some company. Dhairya came to play with his cool shades in tow. He is a student at NYU studying computer engineering. My solution to any computer issue is Ctrl + Alt + Delete. If that doesn’t work, then I can’t help ya. That is the extent of my expertise. Now, I will direct all questions to Dhairya. Dhairya came to the states from India three months ago and it was a pleasure listening and learning about him. Now, he said he never played mini golf. However, that is not what the score card said. No need to focus on the numbers. What’s important is that he didn’t let me win because it was my birthday and that we really enjoyed our time playing. And if you have to know, yes he did win. As per my photos (taken by Dhairya), you can see that I had a hard conversation with my ball trying to sort out the lack of communication and teamwork. After his win, I introduce Dhairya to one of my favorite spots, NISH NUSH. It is a Mediterranean vegetarian spot that I last visited in Summer of 2019. It was perfect because he is vegetarian. He loved the food. My bday was off to a great spot. Next off to Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
If you haven’t been to Sunset Park, you need to go immediately. What a beautiful park. The view was gorgeous. I laid out and enjoyed my icee. One of the pigeons wanted to give me a gift. It showered me with some excrements. Apparently, that is supposed to be a sign of good luck. I will let you know later how true that is. Until then, I proceeded to use some hand sanitizer to remove the “gift.” My agenda for the day suggested some snacks. I decided to try the red bean puff pastry from Jade Bakery (corner of 63rd & 8th) and the rice cake skewers from 369 BBQ (corner of 61st & 8th). When I got to Jade’s and asked for the red bean pastry, they were exactly sure about what I was asking for. However, they were super sweet and friendly. They showed me something red and had beans, so I took it. Next to 369 BBQ. I almost missed it because I was looking for a brick and mortar. Good thing my peripheral vision is still working. I ordered one skewer to go. I walked to the train to head over to Greenwood Cemetery for the last event for the day.
While waiting for the train, I cracked open the foil and started eating the rice cake skewer. Wait for it... Hell the Freak Yes!!! It was the bomb! Ever order something and get mad that you only got one? Well that was what I was feeling. It was doughy goodness with a kick of spice. I am SOLD and I will be back for sure.
I made it to the cemetery with like 2 mins to spare. There was a line and we waited for them to let us in. I was the only Black person on the line, but I was going in to see what this was about. To be honest, I was trying to see if this event could be rescheduled. I mean a cemetery on my bday?! I googled it and they only do the event once a month. So as someone who is all about experiences and willingly accepted the nomination to be a part of this fellowship, I told myself to go for it. They let us in and off we went. You find out fairly quickly that the tour is self-guided. As I enter the cemetery and take it all in, I am filled with questions. Who came up with this idea? Was the person buried in the pyramid mausoleum African/Black? Why do people chose to occupy so much space even in death? As I witnessed the entertainment, I wondered who is the entertainment for? Were the deceased considered in those decisions? As part of the event, folks had the option to enter into certain mausoleums. For me, that led to more questions. How were the mausoleums selected? Did they ask the deceased permission? At one point, I asked if there were people actually in them and I was told yes. It is my bday and I don’t know the energy of the people deceased. Thanks, but I will pass on that one.
Oh yea. How could I almost forget? Literally about 5 minutes after I entered the cemetery with the group, the grey clouds with all their rolling thunder came right on through. Strong winds followed by stronger gusts of winds had the trees howling and the branches swaying frantically. Shortly after, the rain came. Pellets of water were hurled onto our bodies and my body for sure since I didn’t have an umbrella. For me, that was the good Lord and ancestors saying you came, you saw and now you gotta go. With that message, I got another message. This time it was for the event folks saying that the event was canceled due to the rain. My sister called with some happy birthday vibes and asked where I was. I told her I was in a cemetery and she was like “on your birthday?” I told her yea. I was not surprised by her shock, but I flipped it for her real good. Yes, it was my 40th birthday, but what would be a better reminder to live then to be among those who have passed.
I choose to live with every breath I have until my very last. This was a bomb birthday!!
Sidebar: I will return to Greenwood because Basquiat is buried there and there is also an African burial ground called the Freedom Lots.
