Team work!

"atsushi, you coming? or maybe you have a plan for us to go after the mastermind instead, is that it?"  asked ranpo outside the van

"w-well...i-i....im still figuring that out..." stuttered atsushi. 

"thought so...you contacted katai, didnt you ask him to look into the rats in the house of the dead...that investigation has been ongoing right? theres a very slim change that katai managed to find the masterminds location..go find out if he has." ordered ranpo.

"got it."  said a determined atsushi as he headed back into the van explaining what the next step was to y/n and kunikida.

atsushi knocked on katais door with y/n and kunikida following behind. 

there was no answer .

"katai, im coming in, its urgent!" said atsushi forcefully opening the door.

"mr kunikida, katais not here..where is he?" asked atsushi concerned.

kunikida suddenly punched the wall while y/n and atsushi stared at him dumbfounded. 

kunikida was now holding a mysterious device that he apparently got from behind the wall. 

"whats that?" asked y/n and atsushi in unison.

"katai had been recording footage of his room incase anything happened " explained kunikida as he grabbed katai laptop and started opening the footage.

"mr kunikida...why arent you fighting the port mafia?" asked atsushi. 

"..if we disregard the rules and go after him..more innocent people will die..." trailed off kunikida while y/n and atsushi looked at their comrade and felt a hint of worry towards him. 

"i may not have been able to save that girl...but i can save the president along with the rest of the city, i cant think of a better way to try and honor her memory.." said kunikida as the footage started playing. 

atsushi and y/n sat alongside kunikida to watch the footage. 

"there he is, looks like he was working." said kunikida.

the trio had their eyes widened when a stranger broke into katais house and shot him on footage. kunikida immedietly turned around and flipped the futon over to reveal blood that wasnt visible because of the futon covering it.

"we're under fire pinned down like a butter fly to a board, how are things over there atsushi?" asked yosano through the communicators.

"no leads so far...also..katais been eliminated..." said atsushi sadly.

"katai?...tell kunikida that even more people are about to die...as hard as it'll be we cant afford to mourn for him until after we've won."  said yosano.

"at this rate we might be next to go....

why'd they stop firing?..."asked junichiro

"what in the blazing hell is that?" asked yosano.

murmuring was heard from the other side and then there was a sudden explosion heard and the communicaters shut off.

"what did they say?" asked y/n.

"they said not to give up until after we've won." stated atsushi.

"wasnt gonna do that anyway.

 said a determined y/n. 

"so whats next?"

suddenly kunikida got a call from yosano saying that the president is missing.

"WHAT?" said atsushi and y/n in shock. 

"he just left?" asked y/n.

"i am certain he left to save the rest of us...even in his critical condition..." said kunikida while tightening his fists.

"theres something strange i noticed in that footage.." said kunikida.

"what did you see?" asked y/n.

"when katai was shot the futon he was under wasnt yoshiko (the futon katai always carried around), he wouldnt use another futon unless he had good reason to do so...im guessing the one from the video was bullet proof...in other words...hes still alive.." trailed off kunikida.

"but how did he get himself out of that mess" asked atsushi.

"thats what i dont get... someone else was smart enough to deceive fyodor...and save katai.." said kunikida.

-a few hours later the trio was back in the van with two new guests-

"cmon! just let me go!" whined atsushi.

"not a chance~ you two are gonna work together again whether you like it or not~" teased dazai as he held both atsushi AND aktugawa with each hand. 

while kunikida was driving them to their location y/n was giving dazai the silent treatment because number 1. he didnt call her to tell her that he was okay, and number 2. because he ran away from the hospital before getting discharged while he still had fresh wounds.

"dazai!!" said atsushi slightly moving.

dazai suddenly faked being in pain but y/n turned around from the front seat alarmed at the sudden noise. 

"owww my tummy, please dont move around like that atsushi, your gonna reopen my stitches~" said dazai in a faking tone. 

y/n rolled her eyes and sat back straight again. 

"this is a retaliation mission to save our president, why is he even here!" complained atsushi.

"its all part of my plan just trust me, the two of you are gonna sneak into the enemy hideout together." explained dazai as atsushi stopped complaining and listened to what dazai had to say. 

"the enemy base is at an old abandoned coal mine, the interior is several hundred kilometers wide and equipped with sensors and traps to stop intruders, our main target is the gifted who controls the virus unless we can disable his special ability both leaders can die, our secondary target is the mastermind, fyodor."

"isnt this all the more reason not to involve him? this mission is important and you know how much akutugawa hates my guts! i doubt he'd agree to work with me anyways!" declared atsushi.

"well akutagawa, you in?" asked dazai in a tone that said he already knew he would say yes.

"if thats the plan i can do it." said akutagawa in a monotone voice.

"did you know its been four years since you've worked under my command im hoping to see your a little more..capable then before" said dazai.

"yes" replied akutagawa.

"are you sure your akutagawa" asked atsushi.

"yes"

"your actually gonna team up and fight with me?" said atsushi.

"yes"

"what did u have for dinner last night?"

"yes"

atsushi just stared at aktugawa dumbfounded. 

what the hell did dazai do to you poor child.... thought y/n.
