In the fire, A star burns brightly

5. The Video

'I can't believe it!'  Rui thought while picking up his phone again. He kept scrolling through his pictures 

'What if.. Maybe someone recorded the show! Maybe even when the fire was happening.' This thought made Rui happy for a second, He thought some more reconsidering this option. If he were to see it, He would see thing he doesn't like. Remembering that night isn't pleasant as one would think.

He quickly went to search that night.

'Phoenix Wonderland fire' He scrolled in search for videos or anything that happened that night. Then he found it.

'Perfect'

He found a video called, 'Taking Little Billy to see the group Wonderlands x Showtime in Phoenix Wonderland for the first time! *Gone wrong 🤯*'

And of course Rui clicked on it

-------

"Little Billy Silly, You ready to see this performance!"

"Yes! I'm so happy! My friends say their shows are like magic. They even said they have music, lights, Fireworks, And even holograms! I can't wait Ma!" The little boy said happily wiggling in his seat. As the video continued, more people start to fill the audience seats. For a few seconds the camera faces to the stage where the curtain are closed. For a bit you can see a blond person peeking out from it. Soulless eyes stare at the camera for a second before evilly grinning and returning back stage.

"Ma I cant wait! Oh wait, ITS STARTING" Little Billy screamed along the other kids in the audience. The kids screamed and yelled, some even jumping out of their seats as if WxS was very famous.

"Little Billy, Calm down. If this is a good show and you enjoy it, then I will take you to their next one!" The mother said holding the camera up to Little Billy face.

"Yea, yea Ma. Shhhh, Its starting! Look the curtains are opening!" He pushed the camera out his face. The camera then moved to focus to the stage where a pink haired girl came out. She was wearing a dark cloak with her hood up but still showing her pink hair.

"Ahahah! I am the great evil mage from this land. I one day hope to capture the prince and rule this kingdom! And I fear that I would no longer wait! My time is now!" She exclaimed putting her hands on her hips causing her hood to fall off her head. Then a blond hair boy came out from the left. He walked to the middle of the stage. He was wearing high boots, a white button down with a red vest. A yellow strap that hung from his shoulder to his hip, along with a belt. On his belt was a sword hanging.

"Ah, a peasant.." He said with such disgust in his voice

"What do you think you are doing in these parts of this land?" He pulled his sword out to point at the mages neck. The mage stepped back a bit.

"Dear prince, What makes you think I am a mere peasant?"She asked with teasing hinted in her voice. "I am known as 'The o powerful and great mage' in all of this land." She said grabbing the tip of the sword making it point down.

"I am filled with shame you don't know who I am..." She said looking down

"My apologies O great powerful mage." The blond said while bowing down to a one knew with his right hand on his heart.

"If you would excuse my terrible behavior, I would say I just HATE peasants. I wish they would disappear from this land!" He stood again with laughter in his voice.

"I wish for them to go, Boom, I can't help it. If it's best for the people then so be it." He stated coldly.

"They are such great actors. Especially the blond one. If I didn't know better, I would say he wasn't acting." The mother moved the camera from the stage to Little Billy who is mesmerized by the people on stage.

"Ma, When I grow up, I want to be just like him!" He exclaimed while pointed to the blond guy on stage.

"Sure Billy" Before the camera got a chance to see whats happening on the stage, a loud explosion could be heard. Then the panic of the crowd could be heard.

"Billy!"

"Billy!"

"Billy! Where are you?" The mother asked frantically looking around the 'safe' area for her son still holding the camera. You can hear the crying of little kids in the background while their parents try to calm them down.

In the fire you can barely see a person holding something. A slight shadow only a few saw. A few moment later the fire still big and blazing, Billy came out running covered in dirt with a few pieces of his clothing was burned off.

"Ma!" He ran to his mother who was still holding the camera and hugged her.

"The kind actor helped me! Wait... Where is he?! Ma the actor is still in there!" He cried out

"Tsukasa!"

"Tsukasa!"

"Fuck it, I'm going in I can't leave Tsukasa in there! I can't let him die alone!" A purple haired guy said near the fire with the pinked hair girl and a grayish green haired girl trying to hold him back from going in the fire to find his friend. All three of them had tears streaming down their face.

"I can't... Leave Tsukasa to die alone. I need to go with him.... Please." The purple haired guy sounded desperate.

The fire still growing and no sight of Tsukasa.

It wasn't until a few minutes later the fire fighters, ambulance, and the police came to the fire stage.

He re watched the video a few times. Mostly the fire scene where his shadow could be seen slightly and Tsukasa creepy smile before the performance started.

'Little Billys Mom was right. Tsukasa didn't seem like he was acting. His usual acting is a bit more noticeable. Not in a bad way though. But this seems more real. The way he said his lines seems like he actually meant it. How did he not notice this before when they were practicing? If he were to tell Nene or Emu or even the Tenma family, They would think Rui is a lunatic. He needs more information, but from Tsukasa Tenma himself.
