Mysterious Threat.
*It’s late in the evening, and aside from the average bar, the city streets are mostly quiet. The only major sound that can be heard is the sound of a motorcycle roaring down the road.
...
*Matta hooks an earpiece to his ear and switches it on.
I don’t particularly like the fact that this is my first mission...
Tsumugi: For whatever reason? It’s pretty simple. Do you need me to talk it over with you again?
The problem is not that it’s hard to remember. I just have to find the guy and kill him.
Tsumugi: No, that’s not the mission. The mission is to recover the file from his computer database.
How the hell did an average pawnbroker end up with this file? Does he even realize what’s on it?
Tsumugi: Honestly, my money’s on no. This guy is pretty infamous for sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong. He catches whatever personal information he can get his mitts on all so he can sell it.
...Not a bad way to do business I guess...if you’re a hooligan. I’m amazed you aren’t already friends.
Tsumugi: As if. Anyway, I don’t care what you do to him, all I care about is that you get that laptop back here.
...Yes sir.
...
*Sou leans casually back in his seat at the bar. It’s far from empty, with a whole group of quite burly and intimidating people left inside it.
*SLAM!*
...?
*Everyone in the bar stops out of nowhere, as Matta suddenly bursts through the doors.
...!
*Matta wastes no time in looking around at everyone in the bar. He sees Sou at the counter and approaches him.
Sorry but...my boots and clothes don’t look like they fit you, and I don’t own a motorcycle.
*The other patrons of the bar snicker. Matta shakes his head.
You needn’t worry about that. I want something else of yours.
*He points to a briefcase sat comfortably at Sou’s feet at the bottom of his stool.
Oh, you’re a customer? Here to bargain a little for some info?
Do I look to be in a bargaining mood?
...?
Listen, you’ve picked up something that these people I work with need. I’m just here to get it, and neither they, nor I feel like buying something that belongs to them.
Hey, hey, look dude. I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but you’re causing a scene. If you don’t get outta this bar right now, I’m gonna have to throw you out.
*The large man reaches for Matta, but-
*CRUNCH!*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGH!!
!!!!!??
*Matta grabs his wrist as he reaches out to grab him and completely crushes his arm in his hand!
I’ll say it again...
I am NOT in a bargaining mood.
AAAAAAAAHH!!
*Matta picks the man up without any effort and throws him straight through the bar window!
Shit!
*Several patrons of the bar, as well as the bartender, suddenly pull out guns and aim them at Matta, wasting no time in firing. Sou ducks for cover as bullets soar through the sky.
...
*In what can only be described as a miraculous display, Matta darts around and DODGES all of the bullets!
WHAT THE FUCK!?
BASTARD! Now you’re gonna get it!
...
*Without even wasting a second, or taking a second breath, Matta catches the fist of the thug who runs in to attack him. He kicks him in the face with one leg, and then the jaw with his next.
AH! HUH!?
*BANG!*
*He suddenly pulls a pistol out of his belt and shoots the guy in the face!
HE’S GOT A GUN!
*sigh*
*To take him down, 6 tall guys rush at him at the same time, hoping to gain safety in numbers. It does not work at all. Matta shoots the first guy in the brain, breaks the seconds ribcage with a kick, snaps the thirds neck, shoots both the 4th and 5th directly in the eye, and picks the 6th up and stabs him with a broken bottle!
...!
*All the while this massacre is going on, Sou is cowering in the corner, huddling his briefcase. A few more of the remaining patrons in the bar pull out guns and shoot at Matta.
HUGH!
*Matta axe kicks the pool table and sends the cue and balls up into the air. He ducks behind the table to use as cover, but before he vanishes, he grabs the pool cue.
Grgh!
AAAAGGH!
*He snaps the cue and throws it like a spear at one of the patrons, stabbing him directly in the eye!
...
DUGH!
GAACK!
*Matta grabs a few of the balls too, and throws them like baseballs towards his opponent. He nails one guy in the jaw and breaks it, and nails the other guy in his eye, blinding him!
RAAAAAAAAGGGH!!!
*sigh* Amateurs...
*THUD!*
AAAGH!
*The patrons who remain all rush at him, but Matta delivers a powerful kick to the pool table he hides behind, sending it hurtling through the air and knocking all of them back.
GRRGH!
*Undoubtedly the largest man in the bar squares up last, looking to get a few hits in. The last one standing, he and Matta square off.
...
*Matta peers to the side and sees the jukebox sitting right next to him from where he is.
Hup!
*He effortlessly grabs the jukebox and tosses it into the air towards the big guy!
Oh, BIG MISTAKE BUDDY-
*CRUNCH!*
!!!!???!!!???
*While the jukebox is airborne, Matta stamps his foot on the ground. The force flips up one of the floorboards like a seesaw and nails the guy IN THE GROIN! Stunned from being hit hard in the balls, the jukebox falls and lands directly on his head! Naturally, he collapses.
...
*Matta casually pulls out his gun and shoots the large man in the face. He looks around the bar, and sees everyone else in it is down for the count.
...
*whimper*
*He threateningly turns around and walks menacingly towards Sou.
It’s of my understanding that you just had this whole place renovated, am I wrong?
Such a shame you’ll be losing it after all the work the Future Foundation put in for you.
P-Please! Y-You want this? Just take it!
*Sou grabs his suitcase and tosses it to Matta, who catches it. Matta speaks into his earpiece.
...Shirogane? Is this the one?
Tsumugi: That would be the one. Now get back as soon as you can. Yukari’s basically on life-support at this point.
I understand. It’s honestly surprising she can’t live without this...
*Matta hangs up.
So...c-can I go now?
Oh spare me...Leave you alone so you can go rat me out to the Police and Future Foundation?
*He aims his pistol.
I don’t think so.
AH! NO-!
*BANG!*
*Matta ends Sou’s life there with a single bullet to the brain.
...
*He wipes the blood splatter off his suit and quickly looks around the bar.
Tsumugi: I must say I’m impressed. I think this partnership will work out far better than I thought.
Don’t get used to me doing favors like this for you. I only offered because you said it was an “emergency” and was “a matter of life and death.”
I don’t really understand Yukari Koime’s condition, but whatever it is, it doesn’t sound pretty.
*As he speaks, Matta takes a box of matches. He lights one and throws it in the bar. By this point, he has doused the whole building in gasoline, and the place is set ablaze.
I’ll be back soon.
*With these final words, Matta drives off.
//Sou Hiyori...has died...//
