Mel would be walking out of the school building, looking left and right trying to spot kayuke and masmai. The school entrance would be flooded- kids flooding out trying to get back to their homes or whatever it is they intend to do. After a few minutes, kayuke and masmai would appear. Kayuke walking up to Mel and waving. "Hey man." Kayuke spoke.
"Hey homeboy" Mel would look at masmai and nod. "Let's go guys." Mel would begin to walk down the street, headed towards his Jeep with his new found friends behind him.

Kayuke would jog a bit further, being right by Mels side as he spoke. "So, tell me about yourself man. You're kinda mysterious, at least that's the impression I'm getting."

Mel would chuckle as he made it to his Jeep, swinging open the door and hopping inside, kayuke getting into the passenger seat as masmai got in the back seat.

"Well, I'm 17. Junior in highschool as you can tell." Mel would put in his key, his car starting up as he began to drive away from the school. "I enlisted into the United States marine core, I get shipped out next summer."

"Oh shit that's fucking dope man." Kayuke said.

"It's alright, my old man thinks I'm following his foot steps. When in reality I'm joining so I can make a bigger footstep then he left, set the bar high for my kid." Mel would continue to drive.

"I respect that a lot." Masmai would chime in.

"Thanks, so what do you guys normally do for fun?" Mel continued to drive, watching a group of football players walk on the sidewalk past them.

"Well, we head to the arcade! They got all the good shit homie I'm talking about good SHIT." Kayuke would pull out his phone. "What's your number by the way?"

"8764562222" mel replied. "Mel would look at his built in GPS in his Jeep, slowly pulling over and punching in "arcade near me."

The Gps would speak: "SUPERSTOKER ARCADE JUST A FEW MILES DOWN."

"Super stoker..." mel would look at kayuke with a blank stare.

"What the name is ass yeah but the arcade is dope. And dude, dude. I think you shouldn't be so judge mental dude, that's not call dude." Kayuke said with a smile plastered all over his punchable -(sorry, sorry, petty side.) all over his face.

Mel would bang his head on the steering wheel and grit his teeth. "Alright man." Mel would drive the miles down, taking a sharp turn towards his right pulling up in front of this massive arcade. Mel would park his Jeep. Being right in front of the arcade. He would slowly step out, making sure to check his phone. He would text lyla: "hey princess sorry I haven't been texting lately, met some new kids. Gonna spend some time with them and see if I make some new friends. I love you let's call tonight I miss you so much." Mel would put his phone away, walking into the arcade with his new found friends. The arcade was massive, 3 floors of straight gaming and games. Teens even some adults would flood the arcade. Teens on the games and the adults had their own separate side, a bar for those who just wanna have a drink and watch their kids have fun. Mel would look around in awe not being to an arcade in years. Masmai would nudge mel. "Go look around, me and kayuke will register you. On us." Masmai would smile as mel would nod, stuffing his hands in his pocket as he began to walk around the arcade, walking up the second floor he would the bowling rooms, then walking up the third floor would see trampolines, laser tag and food. Mel would smile a bit as he rubbed his robotic arm. Mel would pull out his phone and take a few pictures, sending it to his father with the text: "at the arcade old man I'll be home later on tonight." Mel would slip his phone back in his pocket as he felt a hand shove him forward a bit, mels natural instincts kicking in as he sharply turned around getting into a fighting stance.

"Whoa chill homeboy." Kayuke would smile tossing Mel a golden card, mel quickly catching it and looking at it. "My fault homie, what's this?"

"Gold card, since I pay monthly I'm allowed to have two people as my guest. So I registered you and masmai."

"That's fucking awesome, thank you!" Mel said smiling, looking at the gold card as masmai walked forward. "Y'all ready to have fun?"

However, as Mel was ready to game, throughout the loud noises and teens laughing and having fun. A faint scream echoed from downstairs. Mel sharply stuffing the gold card in his pocket and running down the steps at a rapid pace. Upon making it down to the ground, he would see a man in all black holding an 1911 pistol aimed at the cashier, a lot of the kids would begin to scream in terror as the man fired a round into the air. The cashier women would hand the man the money as mel yelled. "HEY FUCK FACE COME HERE." Mel would dart at the man, the man sharply shooting at mel but mel rolling away. The man would then begin to rush out the store, a little girl in front of him just trying to walk into the arcade would get shot down dead by the man as he ran out the arcade. This caused a fire in Mel to be released, a fire he hasn't seen since he fought dark. Mel would full on sprint towards the man hearing kayuke in the distance.

"MEL DONT DO IT!"

Mel was out the arcade, looking left and right as he saw the man running through an alley way, however, to the left of the alley way was a ladder leading to the roof tops. Mel quickly rushing towards the ladders, climbing up on the roof as he began to chase the man from above. The man would notice mels shadow and turn around and fire at Mel, mel yet again rolling out the way as he jumped over towards the next roof. The man making a sharp turn to the side walk as Mel with all his force leaped off the roof directly aimed at the man. Mel would land on the man bringing the man down to the ground as mel would turn him around. Mounting the man as he began to smash his robotic right fist into the males temple and jaw. Over and over and over again until the man was a bloody mess, mels face coated with a bit of blood as people came out their homes, mel would grab the males belt, pulling it off swiftly, kicking the male on his back and pulling his arms back. Keeping pressure on the males back as Mel binded the males hands and feet tightly together, a hog tie if you will. Leaving the man there while people tried to get a look at mels face, mel quickly diving into the, rushing into the darkness quickly running back towards his Jeep, luckily his Jeep windows were tinted. Mel flooring it out of there as he drove his way back home.
