Chapter 36 - A New Player? Ishida begins to Spiral!

After Nagama leaves Ishida and Rumi. They decide the best action is to follow him. Meanwhile Jwiler desperate attempts to revive Ajax finally works as Ajax is alive once more!

"Ajax I can't believe it. I-I I always mess things up. Maybe I-I am. Maybe Jwiler is lucky after all." Jwiler says.

"Yeah I never thought you were useless to me. No anyways. Where did that Nagama guy go?" Ajax says sitting up.

"YOUR KIDDING! You just got killed by that man and you just came back from the fucking dead! And you want to fight him again!?" Jwiler gasps, his vision slightly getting blurry.

"If it means I can end the games then I'll fight him a million times. But I only need one this time." Ajax says his hand gripping his sword hilt.

"You truly mean that too." Jwiler mumbles as he falls back onto the ground, his body exhausted.

"I thank you Jwiler but I gotta go now. I'll beat Nagama this time." Ajax declares.

"Wait! Before you go at least- at least let me wrap your wounds with more bandages." Jwiler offers.

"Now that you mention it. I am rather bloody. But your exhausted Jwiler any more physical movements and you may collapse." Ajax adds.

"It doesn't matter what happens to Jwiler. You plan on ending the games so your friends won't get killed then Jwiler will help as much as he can." Jwiler says.

"Fine, suit yourself." Ajax chuckles.

"Also Nagama, he's heading straight east here. I planned for both of us to go there, however it took longer than I expected. Ajax you have to stop him before sundown. When I finish these bandages you'll have less the maybe one hour to beat Nagama before the Shogunate 9 officers arrive." Jwiler explains to Ajax.

"Understood now, let's hurry." Ajax says.

Meanwhile across from where all of Ajax's Kabukimono group lays the Battle Royal Death Match continues.

"Say boss ain't that the guy the people from the woods were talking about?" A Ronin says, backing away panicking.

"Yeah shit you're right it is him. He's the guy that killed over 20 bandits. In one sitting. Who knows how many he's killed already." The figure known as boss says l.

"Hey! Stand back you fiend! My boss here is Alfred Rohile. It's gonna be one of the best newest Ronin you've ever seen! You should be terrified just to be in his presence." The figure says look at the man walking towards them.

"Is that right? You're saying this washed up ass piece of pie, your leader, how pathetic." He says coldly.

"Hey, don't talk about boss like that!" the figure says before suddenly the man is behind him and slits his throat immediately with a dagger.

"So it is you. You psycho! Your Desmond Vale! You can't just kill my lieutenant like that!" Alfred says.

"Oh that's really too bad I didn't think I already killed him. Must a been a small fry. And don't go using my government name like that it's a pain yah heard?" Desmond says, wiping the blood off his dagger with his tongue. "Yuck! What kinda blood did yah mans have? This shit nasty as hell!" He says quickly, spitting it out.

"He's a dagger user; they usually are considered the weaker of the 4 groups. So how is he this strong? Who even is this guy?" Alfred thinks to himself while also trying to plan out an escape.

"I bet your brain is scrambled trying to wonder how I killed all your little Kabukimono isn't blud? After all, dagger users are usually the weakest, right?" Desmond says stretching.

"How did you know that?" Alfred panics.

"It's written all over yah face dummy." Desmond sneers.

"Well then explain!" Alfred yells before quickly covering his mouth.

"Jeez you're a noisy one. But ight. As you know there are 4 groups of Ronin combatives. Regular sword users like yourself, Dagger users like me, but there's also Scythe users, and then there's the Trident users. Daggers are seen as the weakest cause of the lack of range but in my case I found something oh so precious to help eliminate that problem." Desmond chuckles.

"What? He found a way around the dagger's lack of range but I just saw him slice down my men within a point blank range." Alfred analyzes.

"Anyways it's time to say goodbye fool. After all this is a death match. It's unfortunate for your group really. Bet you guys would have been a lot of fun to hang around. But you're all so naive to how this world works." Desmond says approaching Alfred.

"Nobody gives two shits if you have ambition if you can't act on it bozo. That's why you're gonna die." Desmond grins as he stabs his dagger directly into Alfred's head before cutting down his face and sheathing his dagger.

"I heard the remaining strongest are all up north. I think I'll head there next." Desmond beams with joy as he starts to head north.

At the meeting point Poka opens the door for Nagama as he sits down in his chair.

"Nagama sir, in just about 2 hours it'll be sundown and the Shogunate 9 officers will be here. Who do you think they'll send?" Poka says, closing the door.

"Indeed that is a good question. Though I doubt they'd send any of the heavy hitters here for little old me." Nagama says, pouring himself a drink.

Meanwhile outside the building Rumi and Ishida hide behind a layer of pillars.

"Two hours before sundown huh? We ain't got much time left." Ishida growls.

"Ishida stop, you can't seriously think you can beat Nagama. If Ajax couldn't then surely -." Rumi says, trying to console him.

"Shut up! Dammit I will kick his ass! If it's our only way out I'll die before I at least get a chance." Ishida snaps.

Ishida just sighs after his outburst.

"I'm sorry. That was rude of me. This entire thing has just stressed me out. This sounded like a lot of fun going into it. But now that I'm in the actual thing it's rather unbearable fighting for my life." Ishida admits.

"I understand. The problem is we didn't see Ryizen or Ajax on the way here, are you sure they're okay?" Rumi asks.

"Almost positive Ajax seems too stubborn to die that easily. And for the shitty swordman. I doubt he would be taken down by anyone yet. The strongest person I've seen besides Nagama is a couple of bandits. And from what I've heard all the strongest are just north from here it's clear that's where the Shogunate 9 officers will come from." Ishida says.

"Alright then it's a plan we'll wait. We'll wait for about another hour." Rumi says.

"I agree but if I don't see Ryizen or Ajax I'm bursting through those doors and kicking Nagama's ass myself." Ishida declares.
