Kuguri, Shibayama, and Goshiki woke up in a warehouse, chained to a wall. They looked around, questioning what was happening to them.
"Well, look who's here! It's my three most prized possessions! How are you?"
Standing at the other side of the warehouse was Itazura Dira. They were all shocked.
"How are you alive?! I ripped your heart out!" Shibayama shouted with fear in his voice.
She walked a little closer.
"You thought I died! That was my loyal servant. She pretended to be me so I could stay safe. She truly did love me. Too bad she died." The real Itazura had long black hair and red eyes. She was short but was wearing black combat boots with a red sole to make up for her lack of height(1). She had a leather jacket over a dark gray shirt and black ripped skinny jeans.
"What do you want?" Kuguri asked.
"Me? Why I just want to sell you for the top price for a nice, expensive, retirement. Buyers are already on their way to purchase you." Her phone buzzed with a notification.
"Well boys, it was fun! Your buyers are here which means I'm one step closer to owning another private island!" She practically skipped away towards the exit to meet the buyers.
*****
She arrived at the exit to only find a gang of kids looking for a place to open up their Jolly Rancher Casino(2). It took awhile before she got the kids to leave. Afterward, she returned to her "prized possessions".

"Are you finished with it yet?" Kuguri asked as Goshiki was using his finger to pick the lock around his left wrist's shackle.
"Almost there!" Goshiki grunted. A click resounded after a couple of seconds. "There! You're free!"
"Thank you." Kuguri rubbed his wrist. Shibayama was free as well but he decided to wait for the other two.
"We'll need to find an exit or a way out of this place to leave. Then we'll need to find out where we are and then, we go home. Easy and simple." Shibayama told the other two.
The three agreed and decided to find an exit besides the one that Itazura Dira took. After all, they did not want her to find out that they escaped. At least until they were gone and as far as possible from her. After what seemed like forever, they found no other exit and decided to regroup.
"Nothing! What are we going to do?" Kuguri asked frustrated.
"Maybe you should stop your futile attempt at escaping and be good possessions."
Itazura Dira came back.
"The buyers aren't here yet. Just some kids outside looking for a place to gamble candy. So, until then, you all are going to stay where you are."
"What if we fight?" Kuguri suggested.
"Then I knock you out."
She stepped closer again.
"You won't win." Goshiki stated.
"You don't know the strength of my true power."
She activated it, the ground beneath her responded to her touch, it bent to her will.
"If it's a fight you want? Then a fight is what you're gonna get!"
The three looked at each other, deciding they needed to do what had to be done.
Goshiki spoke to his inner monster, Karma.
"Take over, Karma. You must take over and lose control. Just this once."
