[DIA] BFDI x II A Black Hole living on Earth (Book #2)

Unexpected request

Black Hole's P.O.V:

I've gone around my part of the neighborhood making rounds, putting up "Missing" posters of everyone at school who'd vanished and even ask people if they've seen anything. So far no results, Basketball managed to get back but.. she won't say a thing about where she wound up. 

Not to mention Needle, Barf Bag AND Leafy have gone missing as well! I've been feeling a consistent sense of.. uneasiness ever since the storm that happened. I'm not sure how to put it but it's like something or someone is watching me. 

I keep looking back and around every now and then, I can't tell if any of this is just in my head. I haven't told anyone about it yet but I'm considering it. After putting up another missing poster of Leafy, I lay down at a nearby bench to catch a break as I've had a lot of restless nights lately. It was then something was thrown in my direction, nothing was hit but it flying over me surely caught my attention. 

*woosh-thud*

Black Hole: Huh-

Upon closer inspection the item thrown was a brick with a note tied to it. 

Black Hole: "Meet me in the back ally"...

I look in the direction the brick flew seeing there was an entrance to some sort of ally behind a building. I flew over to look in, these sort of places are not all that safe I've learned very early on so I had some doubts until I heard something faint.

???: Psst- PSST! C'mon, I want to speak to you. Before someone sees you. 

This was a voice I had never heard before, while the tone which they spoke was similar to someone I DO know it's still not familiar. As such I wanted to make sure whoever's hiding was actually trust worthy. 

Black Hole: Drop any weapon you have, then we'll talk. 

I was surprised to have seen a number of tools throw onto the ground into my view, mainly a laser gun and some crazy looking taser. Those things are lethal. Whoever this is, they're clearly someone you wouldn't want to mess with, but luckily so am I. Now knowing that the unknown voice was unarmed I hover into the ally and meet the source of said voice in the middle. 

She looked almost similar to Taco but with different ingredients, donning a sharp looking suit and her face seemed to be dented. She held a tea cup and saucer when looking my direction, I can't quite read it. 

other Taco: It's awfully nice to finally meet you in person Black Hole. Sit down and we'll get started.

Black Hole: How did you-

other Taco: I've been keeping tabs on the occurrences of DIA ever since I.. left. You're reveal was quite surprising. But enough about that, let's cut to the chase-

Black Hole: Left, keeping tabs? Did you drop out?

other Taco: *forced chuckle* If only it were that. 

Black Hole: Wait a minute.. you're the lying ex Mic told me about. 

This taco was rather taken aback by what I just said.

other Taco: M-Mic? She still talks about me? 

Black Hole: Well more like she sings about you, none of which are positive. 

other Taco: huh, figures. I did some rather unfavorable things. But that's also not what I called you over here for.

other Taco: To make it simple and clear... I need your help. 

Black Hole: Help? With what exactly?

Taco: Someone of mine who calls me a friend has been recently captured. And as you can see here, I couldn't stop the captors. Rescuing him would be a very perilous mission that can't be done alone. I need extra manpower. 

Black Hole: Why'd you come to me of all people then?

other Taco: Everyone who's known me personally would reject my request without hesitation or will to hear me out. Not only are you still sitting here talking with me, but I've also seen you in action.

She pulls out something that plays a holographic screen recording of some of my most hectic moments, from avoiding Snowball's attacks, running from MePhoneX to fending off zombies. 

other Taco: You're infinitely strong, cunning and extraordinarily resistant. *laugh* You can cheat death itself! You're practically a living GOD! The perfect for my rescue operation. Not to mention you have a heavy obsession with helping people so you can't possibly say no. So what do you say instead of that?

Black Hole: What's the catch? 

other Taco: Catch? Oh no no no, I'm not doing anything like that anymore. (i've lost enough the last couple times) How about this, you help me rescue my friend, and I'll owe YOU a favor what whatever you please at a later date or right after we've completed our mission. 

I think for a moment seeing the hard-shell smile at me with a hint of desperate awkwardness. After some consideration, I reach into my bag and pull out some of the missing posters I was putting up for her to look at.

Black Hole: Well... there is this one or better yet, five things I'm working to resolve. 

other Taco: Hmmm yes, I've heard about the disappearances... Alright, after you help me save my friend, I'll provide any help I can. Deal? 

She holds her hand out for me to take which I do so and even shake on it.

Black Hole: Deal.

(Author's NOTE: Well well well, look who showed up. Seems like Black Hole has a new mission on his hands with someone he's heard of, where could this operation take them?)
