Chapter 28 - There's a Change of Plans? Nagama's true self!

After a bombshell of a discovery happens when Jwiler tells Ajax and his friends Nagama's little "game". Now they have to prepare for what's to come.

"Ajax you're so stupid, stupid, stupid!" Rumi says slapping Ajax in the face after each stupid.

"Should we help him?" Ishida asks Ryizen.

"Unless you want to get slapped as well I'd advise against it." Ryizen answers.

"Jeez you two as well!" Rumi says, looking at Ryizen and Ishida.

"Oh shit!" Both of them say as Rumi walks over to them.

After more minutes of whipping the boys into shape for what they did Rumi stops.

"Oh my god I have to participate in a death match because of you three." Rumi sighs.

"We're sorry." The three boys say not looking at her.

"Alright well since I don't want to die, here's the plan. Rumi says, causing them to perk up.

"Ajax and Ryizen are strong so we'll let them go fight and kill everyone else. And Ishida will stick with me and protect me so I don't get hurt or killed. And when it's just us 4 we'll just refuse to play unless we all win." She explains.

"Sounds like it'll work though I believe you have way too much faith in me and Ajax in killing who knows how many people." Ryizen says.

"Yeah that does sound like a lot of work." Ajax says, rubbing his face.

"WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE AGREE TO THAT STUPID GAME!" Rumi yells.

"Don't worry Rumi my peach I'll be you Knight in shining armour! No one will hurt you with me protecting you!" Ishida proclaims.

"Yeah cause that's what she needs right now. A idiot ina Velvet purple suit swooning over her." Ryizen snorts.

"It's a fine plan, I'm sure it'll work. However Jwiler didn't tell us when this game will happen nor how strong the players will be." Rumi says as she starts to think to herself.

"Yeah Jwiler did leave us a lot of loose holes of information." Ajax says yawning.

"But who cares. When we win the reward has to be worth it!" He says.

"He's got a point." Ishida says.

"You guys are hopeless." Rumi groans.

Meanwhile also inside the town of Springtown Jwiler enters the abandoned building where Nagama usually handles his business.

"Master Nagama, I'm back." Jwiler sighs entering his room.

"Oh welcome back Jwiler. I assume you've relayed the information to your little friend Ajax Nozami?" Nagama says puffing a cigarette.

"Oh c'mon now boss you should already know Jwiler is a baby and can't handle these types of gigs. But it's all he's good for. Is these low level jobs." A voice sneers and slightly coughs in the background.

"Hey for your information I did relay the information to Ajax Nozami and he's agreed to the terms!" Jwiler yells offended by the other man's accusations.

"Oh very good job Jwiler. Oh sorry where are my manners? You're probably wondering who this man is.

This is one of my good friends Poka Dilta. But he prefers Poka." Nagama says.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Jwiler. I've heard so many things about you." Poka says.

"Yeah sure you have." Jwiler says a tad bit hostile.

"Hey easy you two. You're both a key to making this Battle Royal unforgettable! After this year's event. The Shogunate office will be forced to recognize my greatness and they'll have to strike a deal with me!" Nagama says laughing.

"Indeed sir…. It's what we've all been waiting for." Jwiler says, looking away.

"Yeah Nagama, once you strike a deal with the Shogunate office we can do whatever we want." Pola says coughing.

"Jwiler go ahead and deliver one more message to Ajax Nozami. Tell him the Battle Royal. It will start tomorrow." Nagama says smirking, putting out his cigarette.

"W-wait tomorrow?! I thought we were gonna-." Jwiler begins to say before Nagama quickly cuts him off.

"Jwiler you know I don't like it when you try to disobey me right?" Nagama says taking a step forward causing Jwiler to yelp and take a step back.

"Ye-yeah master I understand I'm sorry please don't- I'm sorry." Jwiler sputters immediately kneeling his head down and holding back tears.

"Damn you got this one wrapped around your finger huh?" Pola says laughing.

"Yes Jwiler is indeed my finest specimen, and my finest tool." Nagama says also laughing.

"Yes Master, just don't hurt me. Please." Jwiler says, still holding back tears.

"Fine for now but like I said we continue the plan. The Battle Royal will begin tomorrow. Let the contestants know tomorrow is the time. For all their demise." Nagama says walking away with Pola laughing.

"I…..understand." Jwiler slumps his shoulder as he leaves the abandoned building once more.

After hours of thinking and perfecting their plan. Ajax and his friends decide to find somewhere to go for the night.

"This plan of your Rumi. Why does it involve me dealing with utter trash?" Ryizen says.

"It's because we don't want Ajax wasting all his energy and strength. Speaking of Ajax. Ajax, you better remember what we said. Don't under any circumstance fight that Nagama guy on your own." Rumi yells back at Ajax.

"Yeah I understand you buzzkills." Ajax mumbles.

"Ladies right as always. This guy from what you've said sounds very mysterious and considering we don't know much about the people in the black hollows it'd be wise not to fight someone like him. Regardless of the reward it seems like he wants people to fight him." Ishida explains walking alongside Rumi.

"Regardless of that I'm sure we have plenty of time. Who knows maybe we could get out of the city in that time." Rumi chuckles while walking.

"I'm afraid that's not possible." Jwiler says walking out of a bush.

"JESUS! Warn a guy next time." Ryizen yelps.

"I'm sorry but you won't be able to leave. Not anymore anyways." Jwiler says.

"Jwiler you okay you sound shaken up? And why aren't you looking at us?" Ajax asks, trying to stand a step forward before Ryizen holds him back.

"I'm sorry but you won't be able to leave. The Battle Royal begins tomorrow at sunrise. You don't want to be late." Jwiler states not looking at the group.

"Oh what the hell is your problem? You're always popping up and saying stupid stuff! What is your little "master" Nagama thinking asshole?" Ishida proclaims walking towards Jwiler before Ajax stops him.

"I'm sorry you're right. I've done nothing but bring you guys unfortunate news. But I've overstayed my welcome. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Jwiler says walking away.

"Dammit you." Ishida says trying to continue forward only for Ajax to stop him.

"No, let him go. No need in hurting him." Ajax says.

"Why do you care so much about him? Hasn't he only brought us nothing but dumb shit. Why not let Ishida hit him once or twice?" Rumi asks.

"Why huh?" Ajax says, holding his hand tight on his sword.

"It seems you also understand Ajax." Ryizen says.

"His voice was hidden and covered up by pain.

His entire body. It screams regret." Ajax says as he turns around and walks away.
