Extraordinary Minds: Road to Hell

Chapter 41: Drowning

From the moment the screen turned off for everyone, Yumicos heartwrenching screams were the only thing ringing through everyone's ears, along with the sounds of Yumico clutching her stomach before...

Throwing up.

She vomited over the nausea and immediate despair that followed, seeing the skeletal remains and flesh stuck to the bodies of her now deceased parents. Trying so desperately to hold back her tears like a lost child in a mall complex. No matter how much she screamed, no matter how much she cursed herself out...

Nothing was going to bring back the ones she loved. At that rate, the entire courtroom was shaken up by what had happened. Speechless for words, and some just...staring at the ground, completely dead inside.

"Oh? No motivational heartwrenching speeches for the audience? How sad! Seems I've done a good for once!" Monodev cackled.

"Who...Who the hell do you think you are?!" Akira whispered under his breath.

"Huh? Who do I think I am? Celine Dion?" Monodev asked. "I'm a beautiful bitch, what of it?"

"No, what I think is you're a monster! I'm through with this game, and I'm through even looking at you for one more damn minute!" Akira shouted, pointing directly at Monodev. "Whoever's controlling you, I won't hesitate killing you with my own bare hands if I have to!"

"Oh, well now...How ironic that would be!" Monodev cackled. "Maybe be careful with your words, because it could easily be anyone lingering with you!"

As Monodev kept cackling, he made his way out with the guards as everyone was just. Too torn up to speak. As Raidon spoke.

"Well. I can certainly say I was not expecting this to unfold." He bluntly spoke.

"So you wanna explain then what you were expecting, or should I knock every tooth in your mouth out?!" Riku asked in anger.

"Yumico, are you-" Maeko began to ask, before Yumico coldly got up and left. Not even looking at anyone, or trying to express her feelings any further.

"Well. I guess the poor girl is too broke to care anymore, and clearly all of you are. You had all these hopes. All these ambitions to leave, and each time! What happened?!" Raidon shouted.

"Raidon. I suggest you shut your damn mouth before this gets anymore ugly." Mitsuko bluntly spoke.

"Oh, look at you. Now you step up and growl like an angry dog? Imagine I targeted Akira next, then what?!" Raidon cackled. "You're all utterly hopeless! You claim friendship, and yet people keep dying around you! Just give it u-"

SLAM

A hard punch that hit across Raidons face that nobody expected. One that shook the entire trial room, and left even Riku cowering in his shoes in shock. Mitsuko. Mitsuko had sucker punched Raidon in the face.

Everyone had recoiled in shock, as Mitsuko suddenly left without saying anything more. A look of hatred and disappointment lingering across his face, not wanting to speak to anyone himself.

"Wait!" Akira shouted, as he went after Mitsuko before Raidon stopped him in his tracks by saying words that he'd soon come to regret.

"Oh, give it a rest! You think someone like him truly cares about you? He's already clearly stated humanity upsets and scares him! I'm living proof! Whos to guess his love and care for you is all some damn act?!" Raidon cackled as Akira looked back, with a death glare staring Raidon right in the eyes.

"The only lonely person I'm seeing who's incapable of seeing the good in humanity is you..." Akira coldly said, as he left the trial room going after Mitsuko.
