Chapter 10

Second writing dump! Enjoy!

"Then you better watch out." I said as I grabbed my hidden daggers stored in my boots and sleeves as I threw them up into the air.

Jumping up, I sent a swift kick in the air, the wind manipulated as the dagger shot forward with blinding speed as they hurtled towards Fitzgerald.

He held his arms in front of him as an X-shape as the daggers nicked him only slightly.

Suddenly, something rushed past me so quickly, I blinked in shock and saw Akutagawa.

But he was wearing some sort of exoskeleton armour, which I realised was Rashoumon.

Fitzgerald sent a kick towards Akutagawa, but I watched as he stopped it, Akutagawa's ability overriding Fitzgerald's.

I clicked my tongue in annoyance.

I can't just sit back and watch while Akutagawa fights. I thought as I leapt forward again.

I used my wind manipulation, as a phantom hand grabbed Fitzgerald, brows furrowing in concentration as Akutagawa hit him.

I added more strength to the hit as a hard current hit him.

However, Fitzgerald was able to stay in place as he leapt forward, towards me.

I was ready to leap away but suddenly, I saw something furry from my peripheral vision when Atsushi, in weretiger form slammed his fist or paw, whatever, slamming Fitzgerald onto the ground.

"Get out of my way, weretiger!" Akutagawa and I said in synch, which made us glare at each other.

"You get out of my way!" Atsushi shot back as he shoved Akutagawa back before leaping forward to hit Fitzgerald who leapt out of the way.

"Dazai-san, my ass! You're even more worthless!" Atsushi screamed at Akutagawa as I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

"Nonsense! You're more worthless than I am!" Akutagawa shouted back as I did roll my eyes this time.

As much as I did hate the both of them, Fitzgerald was the enemy for the moment.

At least I have my priorities set straight. I thought.

I mean honestly, Fitzgerald was going to blow up all of Yokohama, where there were my friends.

No way in hell was he going to touch the city with me here.

"This is amusing." Fitzgerald said as I rolled my eyes again.

Of course he found this amusing.

"You're both very much alike." Fitzgerald said as I scoffed.

"You know maybe if I don't kill you, these two will!" I shouted over the rain as Fitzgerald frowned, looking at me for a second before his eyes widened in shock as he saw Akutagawa and Atsushi in front of him, both of their fists drawn back.

"What?!" Fitzgerald said as Atsushi growled at him.

"Don't..." 

"...compare me..."

"...to him!" They both shouted as their fists found their target, sending Fitzgerald flying, crashing into the ground as debris and smoke flew everywhere.

At the same time I saw both Akutagawa and Atsushi revert back to normal, Akutagawa falling to the ground.

"Taking a break?" I asked as I breathed deeply.

"Maybe we can have some tea while at it." I said sarcastically.

"The control terminal comes first." Atsushi just said as I raised a brow, wondering if he thought I was being serious.

"If this ship hits the city, Dazai-san will be obliterated, too." Atsushi said as I glanced at Akutagawa.

"That man wouldn't die so easily." Akutagawa mumbled.

"And don't forget about Gin." I said softly so only Akutagawa would hear.

Akutagawa stood back up onto his feet but suddenly I felt something warn me in the back of my head as I whirled around just to see the smoke clear and Fitzgerald walking to us again.

"Tiger beetle, tell me, is there anything in this world aside from family worth sacrificing everything for?" Fitzgerald asked as I shivered slightly.

The aura around him... it changed... he feels much more dangerous.

"I'll take the book, and I'll bring my daughter back into this world." Fitzgerald said as I frowned.

"Your daughter?" I asked as lightning flashed behind us.

"My wife, Zelda, unable to accept our daughter's death, became mentally ill. To this day, she hides in her fantasy that our daughter is studying abroad in London. I'm going to make that fantasy a reality, and reclaim my family." Fitzgerald said as he narrowed his eyes on us.

"No matter what the cost is." Fitzgerald said just as a yellow light surrounded him, blinding me for a second.

"My wealth is dispensable. I'll pay all of it." Fitzgerald said as there was a small explosion which sent the three of us falling back.

The yellow pillar of light was still surrounding him as I clenched my fists.

"He's off the scales." Atsushi said in fear and slight awe.

However, suddenly the sound of a boat made me look back as my eyes widened as I saw the city lights, not so far from here.

"Akutagawa..." Atsushi said all of a sudden as I looked at him.

"What?" Akutagwa asked as Atsushi stood up, staring at Fitzgerald.

"Am I a fool?" He asked as I frowned, not understanding where this was going.

"Is it worthless of me to want to escape from those memories?" Atsushi asked as Akutagawa also stood back up.

"It is. The words of your past are fundamentally unrelated to who you are now." Akutagawa answered as closed his eyes.

"I see." He said as he looked back at Fitzgerald and started walking forward.

"Just so both of you should know. I think Dazai-san already approved of you a long time ago." Atsushi said making me blink in shock.

"Wait!" I said as Atsushi frowned, looking back at me as I stood up.

"Let me try something first." I said as Atsushi had a confused look on his face before nodding as I walked forward.

"Come!" Fitzgerald said as I closed my eyes, breathing deeply.

It's something I've been practicing, not very often as there weren't many storms in Yokohama, and even when I did practice, usually it ended up with me getting a few broken bones and bruises...

It wasn't a trump card, but it was near damn powerful as one.

"Ability: From the Pure Soul." I said as I was suddenly very aware of everything around me.

Time slowed down for a second as I focused on the wind whipping at my hair and my clothes, clawing at the Moby Dick.

Concentrating as hard as I could, I pictured it.

Usually I would start small and increase its size, but that took at least 20 minutes to do it.

I didn't have the time.

Come on! Please work! I thought and I threw my had out in front of me.

Suddenly, the wind was flying past me, almost making me fall forward as I staggered a step but opened my eyes and laughed.

Because in front of me, was a tornado, tearing at the Moby Dick as it swirled in front of me.

I smiled as I moved it and looked at Fitzgerald.

"I hope you didn't use all that money on nothing!" I yelled as I sent the tornado spinning in his direction.
