the end is nigh

Odasaku looked up at the cloudy sky. 

It had been the same one he had seen before his death, but at the same time oh, so different. 

He felt very tired. His injuries were just too much to handle, and he wouldn’t be able to keep up this form for much longer. He had enough energy to lie down, but that was about it.

He glances at his body, the one that had served him so well for the past month. With it he had seen the truth about Port City.

Dazai and Chuuya may not have restored it to a status where peace is supreme, but they had at least brought life to it.

The mafia no longer was overbearing, and there was equality among the four organizations.

And it looked like some people actually cared about the city. Hm.

The abandoned constructions site was entered by another figure. A bandaged swathed Dazai, but then again, when was he not swathed in bandages.

“They’re pretty tough, huh?” Dazai began, sitting down next to Odasaku’s lying figure.

Odasaku hummed. “Yeah, marked this body up pretty well I would say.”

Dazai laughed. An open sound, genuine.

Odasaku smiled. He hadn’t heard that in ages.

“I suppose you guys have the city in good hands then.”

Dazai had to laugh again. “Sounds like you’re implying it never was!”

Odasaku had to chuckle again. He shook his head slightly before replying.

“Considering its you, I had to doubt. This little trip back has made me all the more aware that the city is fine, while I feel absolutely god awful about it.”

The lying man sighed. “Sorry for making such a ruckus, though.”

Dazai crinkled his nose. “Its fine, we needed something like this anyways. You know, to toughen them up.”

Odasaku looked at the scars lining his arm from his years of fighting before. Something felt nostalgic about this all. He almost regretted leaving... but having thoughts like that will keep you stuck on this plane forever.

The two of them looked up at the sky once more in comfortable silence.

“I don’t really want you to go again.” Dazai spoke quietly, but with a hidden loudness in his statement.

Odasaku snorted. “Well, we’ll meet again one day.”

Again, they looked up at the sky in silence. The sun set.

By the time the last licks of that red hot flame tucked itself behind a blanket of clouds, Odasaku was gone.

Battle 06

[hetabungouevent01]

ladypurple-ada:

Mizuki simply said nothing in response to Odasaku’s quip; in her heart, she knew desperate times called for desperate measures (albeit not exactly in that wording), but she didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of dignifying his statement with a response. Instead, she used her small, slender form to her advantage and nimbly slid out of her spot and dodged Odasaku’s shots.

She decided to try another tactic, and pulled out her flashlight and attempted to use her ability to shine bright light into Odasaku’s eyes to try to temporarily blind him. However, this was a time where her ability did not want to co-operate. ‘Come on,’ she muttered, and thinking she heard footsteps, she dropped the flashlight and, albeit reluctantly brought out her gun which Sanun had insisted she bring. She attempted to load a bullet, but as she closed the revolver, the flashlight suddenly shone brightly, startling her and causing her to fire the trigger of her gun vaguely in Odasaku’s direction.

Odasaku was well aware that his enemy was not old to battle. Her movements were clumsy and unsure, and he could easily read them out. The flashlight seemed to shake heavily in her hands, and the gun was drawn much too slowly. He could easily step out of the way as the gun fired at him (partially helped by the fact that the other had little aim) and easily ran towards her and knocked a swift strike into the back of her head.

This would knock her out quickly, at least he hoped so. He didn’t want too many people to suffer at his hands personally, while he detested the people from the organizations.

With that, he clapped the dust and hair on his hands and left the warehouse.

Odasaku won this battle.

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 07

[hetabungouevent01]

gengfaayuen:

It seemed that her plan was working for the moment. Sakunosuke hadn’t shot at her (yet), focusing on the phones, while she had managed to graze him with her bullets. Still, she hadn’t managed to land a solid hit on him. Perhaps she ought to try using something other than her gun, seeing as she was still very new to shooting and had an injured arm as well. Vanessa looked around, and spotted an old stapler. Heavy and solid, plus it was difficult to use so hardly anyone would miss it.

Vanessa dashed over behind the table with the stapler, trying to keep her steps as quiet as possible while still going quickly. She picked up the stapler with one hand and chucked it at Sakunosuke as hard as she could before ducking entirely behind the desk.

The strobe lights were taking its toll on Odasaku. He had little choice but to close his eyes to avoid them, but still the flashing were playing on the back of his eyelids. Then he felt something heavy hit him straight in the back of his neck and he buckled, reaching up in pain.

He was lucky he hadn’t broken his neck.

In an attempt to save his own life he ran forwards, reaching for the wall and finding the door. He exited the room and the building, knowing that should he keep moving the vision would disappear. That would take too much mental energy, of course.

And in the end, he supposed he didn’t need the agency building after all.

Vanessa won this round.

Battle 04

[hetabungouevent01]

bellissima-incubo:

The shots whizzed past Sara as she zipped to the side, narrowly avoiding getting hit in the arm. She took a few more shots at Odasaku, the clip in her gun running out. She chucked it at her opponent, running past the shelf, then tackled Odasaku, grabbing his arm holding the gun, and striking it on the ground, trying to knock the weapon out of his hand.

Odasaku frowned. She was being much too aggressive for his taste. He quickly shifted to use her weight against her own purposes, using his arms to shift Sara back onto her own head and moving back to the side. 

She was definitely new to hand-to-hand combat as well, or she has had training and has not used it in an actual fight before. He quickly adjusted his gun and moved to another location of the cafe, keeping his gun trained on Sara.

“You’re going to need to think of something better than charging at me.”

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 07

[hetabungouevent01]

gengfaayuen:

Vanessa flinched when some of the phones shattered. Dang, she’d probably have to replace those. She hoped their owners wouldn’t be too mad - in her defence, she was fighting a madman with a gun. Wasn’t her fault if her coworkers hadn’t foreseen their phones breaking in the battle.

Even with his sight taken away and his hearing impaired, Sakunosuke was still doing fine. Vanessa had another idea, one that would require more concentration - but if it worked, it could incapacitate Sakunosuke enough for her to get in a few good hits. The inside of the box on Sakunosuke’s head began to flash different colours - slowly at first, then faster and faster, until it was a strobe fit to give an epileptic a seizure.

Vanessa shot a few times at Sakunosuke before ducking back behind the desk she was hiding behind.

Odasaku felt Flawless activate for the visual illusion and immediately he closed his eyes, keeping his other senses open and aware. Behind the loud noise of the phones he could hear the steps of Vanessa, moving to the side and only letting his legs get clipped by the bullets.

He moved behind another desk by touch, shooting around the wall at the phones. He kept himself calm, while this may be disadvantageous for himself he would find a way out of this.

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 06

[hetabungouevent01]

ladypurple-ada:

Despite the little warning, Mizuki managed to dodge most of the bullets. However, one of the last ones grazed her ankle, and she gasped in pain. ‘Fine,’ she whispered, ‘if this is how you want it…’ She trailed off as she hissed as she felt the fabric of her sock touch the wound. Quickly, she ran and slid in between two piles of boxes, thankful that she was thin enough to fit.

Tears welling in her eyes at the pain of being grazed in the ankle with a bullet (she was really going to have to harden up), she realised that Odasaku was set in his intentions, and there was very little point in trying to convince him otherwise. But did she really have to hurt him? It was odd, to her, having to fight and hurt someone on purpose, but she supposed this was what she signed up for when she guessed, now, wasn’t it?

While she was unwilling to shoot (she couldn’t go that far if she had to hurt someone), she tried to push over a pile of boxes on top of Odasaku. That would at least slow him down or give him a good bump… right?

Odasaku felt Flawless activate as he was taking cover to reload his pistol. He easily ran to the side out of the way of boxes, watching as a clutter of miscellaneous items fell out on the floor. He hummed as he quickly took cover once more, holding his pistol up and at the ready.

He knew he had injured her at least a little bit, if her gasp wasn’t signal to that then she was surprised at how aggressive Odasaku was being. This would be to his advantage, while he may be injured.

“For one who cares so much about people, you don’t seem to care much about their belongings.” Odasaku quipped, again stepping out of cover to fire several more times at the lady.

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 07

[hetabungouevent01]

gengfaayuen:

It was fitting, she supposed, that she would fight again in the agency’s cafe, where Mr Boonliang had given her the determination to keep trying. It was advantageous too - she knew the place well, had eaten here nearly every day for a month. She was on her home turf, and Sakunosuke was a fish out of water.

Still, she had to be careful. Sakunosuke had proven before that he was a more capable fighter. Vanessa, with years less experience, had no hope of taking him head on like she tried last time. She had to be more careful, more cunning.

Which is why she had borrowed as many phones as she could off of her colleagues, and set them all to play loud music in sync via an app. The app was a bit extra, perhaps, but she didn’t want to end up distracting herself with a cacophony of out of sync phones - she just needed to impair Sakunosuke’s ability to hear where she was.

She stepped into the cafe as quietly as she could, fishing out way too many phones from her pockets. In an instant a box surrounded Sakunosuke’s head, obscuring his sight, and she hit play before running to cover and tossing down as many phones as she could.

Odasaku heard the (rather dramatic) music before he saw the phones, and he hummed. These were real, he knew that Vanessa could only complete visual illusions. So this was to impair his hearing. Clever, but he would find a way around this one. 

He hid himself behind one of the agency desks, drawing out his pistol before quickly shooting at the phones, quickly taking some of the devices out of service. But not all of them, and the music was still playing.

But Vanessa didn’t have an unlimited amount of phones at her disposal, as long as he kept shooting at the phones then he surmised that she would quickly run out of ideas.

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 04

[hetabungouevent01]

bellissima-incubo:

Haha, get wrecked fucker. Sara could hear the metal crash against his skull, and she smirked. That was quickly wiped off her face once two bullets shot through the counter right past her head. That was close. She peeked past the counter, before bolting out, firing at the table before running right into it, hitting it against a shelf. If he was so good with long range attacks she’d have to try getting up close. Move so fast and wild he can’t have time to react to her.

Odasaku easily moved out of the way, the kid obviously new to fighting. Making so much noise and running around may make her an uneasy target, but that also meant more warnings for him to dodge. Flawless wasn’t even needed in these sorts of situations.

He easily vaulted over another table before taking cover behind one of the shelves holding tea, reloading his pistol before looking around the corner and firing several more shots at Sara.

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 07

@gengfaayuen

Again, Odasaku had to fight against Vanessa. Honestly he hadn’t expected not to fight someone more than once, there were clever people out there after all. However, this was just a situation in which he wanted to end the war as soon as possible.

He had his hand resting on his holster, eyes hooded and looking out the window at the surrounding buildings. He had a cup of coffee he had made himself in the cafe below (he left his payment on the counter under a cup), the bags under his eyes and his sluggish movements hints to his true fatigue.

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 06

[hetabungouevent01]

ladypurple-ada:

‘Does it make you happy?’ she asked, ‘Making people scared? Hurting people? Is this really what you want to do?’

Mizuki’s breath hitched slightly in fear when she saw the gun that Odasaku took out. It was at this point that she realised the lack of fighting experience she had, but she remembered Sanun’s words to her. “Fight with everything you got, I’ll be there to catch you if you fall.” She couldn’t run away, not when Port City was relying on her.

‘Is this really what you want to do, Sakunosuke-san?!’

Odasaku crinkled his nose. People questioning his ideals were inconvenient, and having to explain his connection to the city would take too much time.

“I don’t care about making you parasites of the city scared, and I have given the people who deserve this city ample time to evacuate. If you can’t tell, I’m doing my win this way on purpose: why would I do an all out war and destroy the whole city when I can just do specific locations?”

He shook his head. “But here I am rambling.”

And with little warning he raised his pistol and fired several shots at Mizuki, aiming mainly for her hands and feet.

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 04

[hetabungouevent01]

bellissima-incubo:

So he wasn’t going to tell her. Of course. Well she’d have to make him then. She scowled at him, pulling out her own gun from under her hoodie. “Well when you hurt my friend it becomes my business too.” Saraghina steadied herself, getting ready to move. “No matter what happens here you’ll regret hurting him. Even if I lose tonight, you won’t win this city.”

She shot her gun at him 3 times, before running and jumping over the counter, hiding among delicate china and tea bags. She wasn’t a good shot, but she had a good throwing arm. She grabbed an especially heavy looking tea kettle, then stood up and launched the kettle at Oda, like she was doing the hammer throw. The most intense throw of her fucking life.

Odasaku winced as the tea kettle was thrown his way. While Flawless activated, he moved a second too slow and the kettle hit him in the back of his head. He could see stars for a moment.

In a grunt he rolled onto the floor and back into position behind one of the overturned tables, using it as cover as he checked his head for any damage. 

He hissed in pain as he felt a bump raising. Could be concussive.

In retaliation he looked over the table and began to shoot at his current enemy, firing off in bursts of two.

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 06

[hetabungouevent01]

ladypurple-ada:

Mizuki didn’t exactly know what was appropriate battle attire, but she figured that loose, comfortable clothes were the way to go. And she was not wearing a dress or a skirt, that would get in the way. She was terrified out of her life, but she still stepped into the warehouse as quietly as she could, remembering what Sanun had told her about Odasaku’s hearing.

She took a deep breath to calm herself and closed her umbrella, which today was a parasol, and made sure her laces were tied adequately. Even if she was supposed to be fighting, she still had to be polite, it was deeply ingrained in her nature, after all.

‘Sakunosuke-san!’ she said, sounding more serious than usual, with none of her usual chirp and bounce. It was clear she meant business, even if she was more than a little scared. ‘I know you know about me, and my ability. But there is one thing I don’t know.’ She could feel her voice start to shake, and she took another deep breath. ‘Why?’

Odasaku merely gave the serious woman a melancholic look. He hated fighting young people, especially those that looked so much younger and smaller than himself. Something about it just didn’t seem fair. He had so much more experience on fighting over them.

However, Dazai’s face flashed in mind and he scowled, turning to face Mizuki properly and narrowing his eyes.

“Because someone broke a promise, and this city is much too important to me to let go to you kids.”

He pulled his pistol out of his holster and checked the chamber. His arm was still a little slow from the injury from a previous fight, but at least he can still shoot.

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 06

@ladypurple-ada

Odasaku stood on top of one of the warehouse crates, looking down at the area and planning out his route. His right arm was bound in bandages, but his shooting aim would be off by a bit. He narrowed his eyes. He would win this battle, though, there was no excuse.

He waited for the echo of footsteps, focusing his hearing on the area around him. He has to stay alert, lest he does a mistake like he had done last time.

[hetabungouevent01]

Battle 05

[hetabungouevent01]

engeldermusik:

It seemed lucky to Roderich that Odasaku was taking the time to check every room in the hall when his physical self was in a completely different building across the street. Really, all the man had to do was realize the sound of a violin was absent and he’d know right away that Roderich wasn’t near. But the longer it took him to realize, the better it was. 

At some point in his chase, Roderich raised his pistol once more. He had a few more bullets left, surely he could try once more to get a hit in.

He waited until Odasaku had stopped at another door to fire, sending his last few bullets towards the man. 

Odasaku felt Flawless activate, and he see the bullets coming in from his right. He moved back but felt one dig itself in his arm. He shouted and dropped his pistol. He lost usage of his dominant arm. Dammit.

He picked up the pistol with his left and glanced back at the Phantom. He supposed this fight was useless unless he could find the physical body of Roderich, but that would take too much time. He decided to retreat this fight and recuperate before attempting another fight.

“You win this time, if only because of luck.” Odasaku spat, bitter that he lost a fight. He turned and ran into the main hall before exiting the building, breaking into a car and driving off.

And with that, Roderich won the battle.
