(SORRY! PART 2 IS FINALLY HERE AND ITS SUPER LONG. ENJOY!)

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck FUCK! Kiki thought aggressively. What do we do? Ugh, this gun is a piece of crap right now. Maybe I can switch to the Gemini blades, or whatever the hell those things are called. She strategized.

“Don’t.” Marsha said.

“Eh? ‘Don’t’ what?”

“Don’t use the blades.”

“Why? Are you afraid that I’ll cut my finger with the sharp end?” she mocked in a high pitched voice.

“Don’t be such an idiot! With a gun you can actually shoot someone because of the vibrations you get in the hilt, but blades are harder to use when you’re blind. There’s also the fact that using blades will get you closer to the opponent, causing you to be more in danger than when you’re shooting from far away with a gun.  So, yeah, Kiki, I’m afraid that you’ll get cut, but no, not by your own blades, but by Jay’s spear. “ Marsha said the last sentence with a raised voice.

“I can do it.” Kiki said aggressively, turning to Marsha so as to intimidate her and raising her cap to leave her cursed eyes exposed.

“NO.” Marsha tried to keep calm.

“You know I can see shapes, and I don’t see anyone else here able to help. Mika can barely walk and Kira’s probably dead. I have to do this.”

Marsha didn’t say anything. Suddenly, she ripped Kiki’s cap off her head, setting free the beautifully frightening red locks that had already grown to her hips.

“Wake up. Wake up. Wake up…” Jonah repeated as he shook Kira.

“But this bed… It’s so-o comfy.” He said rather dreamily. Then, Kira fell on the ground with a harsh thud.

“Oww. You didn’t have to make it disappear, ya know.” He rubbed his head, sitting up.

“You seem to be in better spirits. So, what are you going to do?”

“Wait until this all blows over…?” he looked at Jonah with a raised eyebrow. In exchange, Jonah looked at him with an are-you-fucking-kidding-me-this-is-no-time-for-jokes face.

“Well, I’m kind of tied up here, literally.” He said, raising his hands and exposing what looked like bracelets at first.

“Wait, if those are shackles, why don’t they have links?” Jonah asked.

“You could say the links are like force fields, they don’t necessarily appear unless something ‘threatening’ occurs. Like, for example,” Kira pricked his finger with his sharp teeth and managed to make it bleed. At the same time, the “bracelets” glowed and links quickly appeared.

“Huh… That’s weird.” Hakyuu licked the blood on his finger.

“What’s wrong?” Jay asked.

“Kira… So, has the fun begun?” he smirked at Jay.

“Apparently so. An important piece has just been put into play. Isn’t that right, Janice?” she turned to the shadow of a person behind her.

Meanwhile, with Kiki and Marsha:

“If you’re so fine, then why are you barely sitting up? More importantly, you can barely hold that gun in your hand.”

“I’m just resting. I’ll be fine.” She said, trying to hide her uneasy breathing.

“You say that you’re okay, but the fact is that you’re in a worst state than even Mika, he can at least breath easily.”
