Halo Eight: Okui:

"Thank you, gentlemen," Kitano said. He held out the fancy brown and silver flask in the plastic bag in front of his face.

"He didn't leave too much of a mess, did he?" the therapist asked.

"A little bit," Osamu said. "We got cleaned it up though."

"We collected a sample for later," Daichi added.

"Good, good," Kitano said. He walked over to his altar and opened the bag. The flask landed on its rightful spot. The table started to shake for twenty seconds before going still. The therapist smirked.

"Five more to go," he said.

"We're heading back to work now," Daichi said.

"Alright," Kitano said. The younger men bowed and walked out of his office. The therapist pulled out his phone.

"Is she ready to make the next kill?" he asked. The therapist took a listen. "Good. We can begin."

Walker, Erika, and the three tadpoles got the coordinates in text.

"What is this?" Walker asked.

"These are coordinates to where we are supposed to fight," Anzu said. The otaku looked up at her.

"I don't really know the exact place it is," she said.

"We have to go then!" Walker was quick to say.

"Wait!" Sota shouted with his hands up. Everyone turned their heads.

"Wait," he said again. "What all can we do?" He turned to Yukari. The girly tadpole looked up.

"I can see people's dreams," he said. "I read them too."

"You?" Sota asked Anzu. The other tadpole stood up straight.

"I can make weapons out of my blood," she said. "Look." Anzu reached into her black shoulder bag. She pulled out a knife and held out her left air.

"That's okay," Sota said, grabbing her wrist. "We got it."

"Aw, I wanted to see her do it!" Erika said with a pout.

"I wanted to see it too!" Walker shouted.

"Maybe later," Sota said. "It would be better to use that as a last resort."

"What can you do?" Yukari asked. Sota swung around to Erika and Walker.

"Could one of you punch me in the face?" he asked. Anzu tilted her head.

"What are you doing?" he asked. Sota put up his hand.

"Anzu, please," he said. Erika and Walker looked at each other. They shrugged.

"I'll do it," Walker said. He walked over and punched Sota in the jaw. The tadpole smiled the whole time. The otaku fell back to the ground on his ass.

"Yumacchi!" Erika shouted. Walker rubbed his jaw looking confused.

"Uh... what just happened?" he asked. Sota stood over him, grinning.

"Anyone who tries to beat me up will have the pain go back on them," he bragged.

"Whoa!" Walker said.

"What do you guys have?" Sota asked. "Weapons-wise, I mean?" Erika and Walker grinned as they showed him their impromptu arsenal. Yukari whistled.

"Dude!" he said. Erika and Walker snickered. Sota clapped his hands together.

"Okay," he said. "Looks like we are all set." The boy turned towards the direction they needed to go.

"Let's get this over with," Sota said. He hopped onto his scooter and rode off. The other four followed behind. What else could they do- again?
