6:00 PM sharp, That was the expected time for Aoi to arrive at the airport for his trip back home...Well, Not exactly home. He was more planning to go to New York, as news of fights breaking out between odd people had brought Aoi's interest. Perhaps there he'd find out what this spirit was. The spirit, being the term he used to describe this ghost he had since...That Day. Aoi didn't quite want to think much on the origin, so he simply thought of it as being something he had for a while now by unknown means.
Well, It was currently 3:00 PM and an hour and a half trip there, so he decided to have a bit of time to himself as he waited. So, Mid-way, he stopped at a particular Hole-In-The-Wall. "Gemu Station", The one and only arcade that Aoi had made a sort of second home out of during his time in japan. He felt it worth to make a final stop there, and pop a quarter into his favorite cabinet for a last try to get the High Score in his favorite game "Yokai Fighter; Turbo!"
It was tradition at that point. Aoi walked through the double door's and waved a hello to his friend, Shiro. Shiro was the same age as Aoi, and the two had been best friends since the first time he walked inside. Shiro was interested in traveling to America some day, but had trouble's learning English. As a counter, Aoi had similar trouble fitting in, as he struggled in speaking Japanese. So, an agreement was formed between the two.
Shiro would speak English, and Aoi would speak Japanese. Or, at least try to, between the two. "Ah, Konnichiwa, Shiro-sama!" Aoi said, trying his best to replicate his traditional greeting to Shiro, as Shiro replied with "H-hey, Aoi-Sama!" He said back, as the two laughed. Aoi explained the situation to Shiro, with Shiro's reaction being one of not being convinced for Aoi's reasoning. Granted, He of course didn't tell Shiro of what had actually been his reason. Because a ghost that follows me and occasionally laugh's is starting to bug me? No one would believe that.
So, Aoi's reasoning was simple enough. A family member had passed on, and he was going to america to settle there affairs. However, Shiro couldn't help but give a final hug goodbye to his best friend, before letting Aoi run off to play his game. Aoi gave his Yen to be exchanged for little tokens, Walking across the red carpet with light bulbs in the floor to aid sight and then sat in the red chair in front of an arcade that occasionally let out the sound of a woman saying "YOKAI FIGHTER; TURBO!"
Aoi popped in two tokens, Selecting his character and began ascending the tower of fighters before him. Though, Not before turning on his Walkman, and covering his ears with them, as loud rock music had soon taken over his sense of hearing.
"Kon'nichiwa, e yōkoso Ge-"
Suddenly, Shiro found him face to face with the barrel of a pistol, making the young Japanese male stop his voice suddenly, the entire arcade freezing in silence as well. There was a gruff looking man in a black suit, his hair done up in a yakuza tough pompadour, as a few men also came inside, with Steel bats by there side as they put them on there shoulders. One could practically feel the Rumbling (ゴゴゴ) coming off of them.
The leader of the punks commanded everyone who was listening to get off of there games, and pointed them to head into the back storage, All except for Shiro, who was being forced to make the phone call for ransom. One Million yen, and an escape car. However, one person who was entranced by there game had not noticed the big hold-up.
One red-haired ginger, who was reaching the sub-final boss in his game.
The Gang leader walked over to the red head, tabbing his shoulder with a gruff "Oi" to get his attention, as Aoi had turned his gaze after performing a quick Quarter-circle forward special, Thus getting his win. The gang leader barked some kind of command at Aoi, but the Gamer hadn't heard him, before taking off his Headset, and then cupping his ear to ask him to repeat.
" Nē! Anata wa nanida ittai o yatte iru, baka!" The man said, as Aoi blinked, thinking for a second before realizing he forgot what most of the words to his full apology would be. So, He just replied with "...Ī- Īe??" in more confusion than anything.
Smash! Suddenly, the man brought his gun across Aoi's face, smashing him into the ground, as blood sprayed from his mouth, landing against the rugged carpet, looking up from the sudden pain, as the much older man towered over him, aiming a gun downward against his nose. " Matte matte! Wareware wa kono koto ni tsuite hanashi o katamukemasu ka? " Aoi pleaded, rather uselessly, as he looked to see the screen on Yokai Fighter was showing his character, getting rather brutally beaten by the coin vacuum of a boss.
Aoi's eyes suddenly widened upon hearing a voice behind him. But, that was impossible, Aoi was on the ground looking up at a barking, angry old guy holding up an arcade. No matter what his imagination was doing, He kept trying to focus on the loud barking the gun-wielder was saying, but, still not proficient in his Japanese, Aoi was very confused by the harsh vocal shredding he was getting. There was a ringing in his head now, as he kept hearing a voice, That simply wouldn't stop talking.
"H-huh?!" Aoi had said out loud, which only caused the suit-wearing man to suddenly step on his chest, Directly on the scar from when The Arrow had pierced through him and his mother, making him let out a loud scream of pain, scar tissue reacting painfully to continued assault. "G-ghrk!!" Aoi couldn't think straight, as the man grinded his foot into the scar.
"S|;* %5 @#d 3ru!@ T@&%"
That voice, again and again, As if it was trying to tell Aoi something. Suddenly, He looked to the front of the arcade, and suddenly saw the sight of Shiro, looking right back at him, eye to eye. Shiro didn't really have any idea what to say, shaking his head. That look of fear, it awoke something in Aoi, as he suddenly stood up slowly, looking at the Yakuza Tough.
"Shiro...Listen to me." Aoi said in English, making Shiro suddenly listen up. He shook his head, Disagreeing with Aoi's idea of standing up against these people. But, The red head was hearing something, and a feeling of deep courage in his heart had risen forth to the surface, as Aoi had then turned to Shiro, saying "Shut Up..." Before, his gaze turned back to the yakuza tough, As he could feel the words, forming perfectly.
A presence of power sent through Aoi, as the energy came from his back, forming into a separate, short and wide entity wearing a black cloak behind him. The gang members were confused as to what this sudden confidence was, Before the Stand of Aoi wheeled its arm back, and attempted to punch the man in front of it! However, The man took a step back in confusion to Aoi's shout, avoiding the hit.
"D-damnit!" Aoi said, before realizing that smashed through the arcade cabinet next to him, Breaking a massive hole into the arcade machine, as well as causing a mass gasp of confusion. " Jigoku dake de nani ga okorimashita ka?" The man shouted at the sight of the sudden hole inside the machine.
"Well...It made them scared, at least." Aoi thought, preparing to make a threat in Japanese to make the group run, Before suddenly...
CHOMP.
"Nani datte?!" The man shouted at the sudden loud sound coming from across the room, deep in the shadow's.
CHOMP.
Aoi looked back as well, backing up a little by little, as he looked at the machine with a newly made hole inside of it...
CHOMP.
The sign on it read, very clearly...
"Pac-Man?"
A huge yellow ball suddenly appeared from the shadows, biting down with a loud "CHOMP" coming from it's mouth as it rapidly went through the hall, Aoi backing as best he could against the wall as the Pac-ball simply went by him, and causing the men to start running as the force of it's bite was enough to tell them to run. Aoi looked down at the light's on the ground, realizing something quickly.
"...Lights...Arcade machines..." He started to soon piece together where exactly he was, as he then peeked over on his tippy toe's, standing up on a chair. It was practically a pac-man maze! "Ah! Hahaha!" Aoi soon watched what was happening, as he followed behind the yellow orb, chasing the men through the building, trapping them against the corner. "Watashitachiha, sono nise no jū mōshiwakegozaimasen ga, matte!" The man said, proclaiming that the gun he held was fake, as the yellow ball bit closer and closer.
"Oh? Well...You're gonna need to apologize harder than that..."
"Anata wa tsumori sore yori mo katai shazai suru hitsuyō ga arimasu shite imasu" Shiro said from behind Aoi, aiding him in translation as Aoi beamed, The yellow monster giving another "CHOMP!" Closer, making them all collectively scream different apologies...
It took a good thirty minutes for the police to arrive, arresting the group of men, as Aoi sighed, watching the arresting happen. Aoi suddenly widened his eyes, running inside to find that, in the midst of the confusion...
He only landed Second on the high scores board. He sighed, but smiling a little solemnly, as he flipped the three letter name screen to say A. O. I, And entering. Well, It was only below his other high score, which was ranked 1st. So, He could at least take notice that the high score board was practically full of his name. Aoi walked out of the arcade, turning back to see a nervous Shiro, staring up to road at him and waving.
Aoi waved back, smiling happily...Before realizing, This whole chaotic disruption caused him to loose an hour! He only had 30 minutes to get to the airport! Aoi started running as fast as he could, With Shiro sighing as he watched him go...
Aoi's own Bizarre Adventure....Had only just begun!
