《Bad Habits {V2 Out now!}》Volume 2: Chapter 19: Arrival of the Foreigners

Takumi looked at Akane.
“Water… Please.” Akane mumbled, looking at the bottle on the table.
Takumi gave the bottle and she drank the entire bottle, catching back air.
“So… Akane, Byakuya, explain.” Takumi said, as he sat down.
The room went quiet, everyone looked at Akane. She slowly took a deep breath.
“We… Have a big problem.” Akane mumbled.
“Woah... we?” Kuruka asked.
“Yes… We all.” Akane replied.
“My subordinates spotted a various group of people… We thought they were ordinary foreigners.” Akane started to explain.
“But they were members of a group called: ‘The Allied Gang’.” Akane said.
“We did some research and found out that multiple gangs from the entire world have gathered here.” Akane explained.
Ukato’s eyes widened up.
“That means…” Ukato mumbled.
“... That they’re after our bounty!” Nokado interrupted him.
“N- No not that… but.” Ukato said, as he looked at Akane.
“Mostly when foreign gangs come to Japan is because they want to make business with The Yakuza, right?” Ukato asked.
“...No, not this time.” Akane replied.
“They are aiming for something else, but as big as the Yakuza themselves.” Akane explained.
“What could that be?” Ukato asked in despair.
Something…
Something bigger than the Yakuza existed…
And we didn’t know a thing about it, until these events occurred…
“The thing is, we found this gang I was talking about. So I and my subordinates followed them.” Akane explained.
“... We found a clue that leaded to a train, what it has is unknown, but I placed a GPS Tracker...” Akane explained.
“... I know it’s unrespectful, but I beg the Ishido clan to check it out.” Akane begged.
Takumi smirked.
“... The Ishido Clan?” Takumi asked.
“We aren’t the Ishido Clan anymore...” Takumi mumbled.
The others looked at Takumi, all smiling.
“From now on we are...” Takumi said, pointing to his Earring.
“The Reborn Rings.”
Akane’s eyes lightened up.
The boys sure looked different than she had imagined.
Nokado stretched, following up with a yawn.
“So… Where is this train?” Nokado asked.
Akane slowly sat down, reaching for her pocket.
She grabbed a GPS-Tracker with a coordinate not so far away from here.
Rikishi grinned, as he grabbed the GPS-Tracker.
“Yosh! Time to go back to business!” Rikishi shouted, proudly.
Takumi stood up, as they all walked out of the mansion.
“Akane, you better stay at the exact position you are.” Nokado said.
“Oh-... Sure.” Akane replied.
“Good, see ya!” Nokado said, shutting the door.
They all entered the car and drove as fast as they could to the GPS coordinates…

- 16:21 -
A group of four people walked out of the airport, one of them letting out a big sigh.
“Man… Did we really need to go to Japan?” The man asked.
“What are you talking about, it was your idea to contact them.” Another person next to him said.
“Guys, calm. We have all the time we need, because they don’t know our names here.” The third person said.
“Listen up, everyone...” The last man said, who looked twice as big of the average human.
The man let out a sigh.
“... We didn’t come all the way from the Netherlands to have fun here.” The man explained.
“And I hope no one forget their code name?” The man said, looking at everyone.
One of them started to whistle and look around.
“Seriously?” The man said, letting out a sigh.
“Ehh.. hehe.” The other one said, smirking.
“Yours was Red...” The huge man said to the 1st one.
“... The one next to you is Blue...” The man followed up, looking at the 2nd one.
“... And you were White.” The man finished, looking at the 3rd one.
“And you were Grey, right?” Red asked.
“Correct...” The huge man.
“... Looks like you still have something up there.” Grey said, pointing to Red’s forehead.
Blue started to laugh.
“S- Shut the hell up, let’s just go before I beat your ass in public.” Red said, letting out a sigh.

- - Unknown Train Station, Tokyo - -
- 16:21 -
The boys were driving with the car, as they saw one of the trains slowly go out of the Station.
“That must be it, right?” Kuruka asked.
“Of course it is, it’s the only suspicious one here.” Nokado replied.
“All right, pursue it...” Takumi said.
“... I have an idea.” Takumi followed up.
“Rikishi, get close to the train and we’ll jump inside through one of the doors.” Takumi explained.
“You got it.” Rikishi replied, as he placed more pressure onto the gas pedal.
They slowly arrived next to one of the coupe.
Takumi grabbed a shotgun and shot a hole through the lock, forcing it open.
The boys walked into the train and checked every coupe, but they realized something…
The members of the other clan weren’t at the train, or so they thought.
Until the members all walked up to the front coupe, standing on the roof.
Another train arrived on the train track next to them and the members jumped onto the other train.
Rikishi grabbed his Walkie-Talkie,
“Oi, something is suspicious, they jumped into another train...” Rikishi said.
“Okay, just a bit more time…” Takumi replied.

Kuruka’s coupe had the the ‘Ace of Spades’ card printed on the wall, following up with a coordinate.
The other coupes were empty or had useless thing in them, so they boys jumped back into the car. They instantly realized they missed someone. The person was Tado. Tado’s coupe showed a random coordinate with the words: “Contact The Yakuza.” He quickly wrote it down.
Rikishi drove and saw through his mirror the members, his eyes widened up.
One of them…
Was holding an remote explosive button…
Rikishi quickly grabbed his Walkie-Talkie.
“Oi! Get out, no- !”
Just as Rikishi was warning Tado, the front coupe of their train exploded, following up with the other coupes.
Tado quickly jumped out of his Coupe last second and landed in the car. Rikishi uses the brakes and drives back the other way.
“What took you so long?” Rikishi asked.
“I… thought I had found a clue.” Tado mumbled.
“Well, I guess that was for nothing.” Nokado said, letting out a sigh.
“Not true… I found a coordinate.” Kuruka said.
The others turn to him.
“There also was an ‘Ace of Spades’ logo printed inside my coupe.” Kuruka explained.
“Ace of Spades, you mean like the poker card?” Takumi asked.
Kuruka nodded. The others were silent.
“Oh and, Rikishi.” Takumi said.
“Yeah?” Rikishi asked.
“You saw them, right?” Takumi asked.
“Yes I did, but I couldn’t recognize anyone. Their faces were completely covered.” Rikishi explained.
Takumi let out an non-relieved sigh.
“Well, we have no other choice but to check out the coordinate.” Takumi said, as the car drove back to their mansion…
- - - - -
- - The second train, Tokyo - -
- 17:30 -
“... So, those must be the new ones?” One of them said.
“Yeah, definitely...” Another one replied.
“We did them good, boys.” The one in the middle one said.
“Let’s hope they fell for it.” Another one said.
“They must have felt for it… I can feel it.” The last one replied.
The train drove through the city and they jumped off the Train.
The blonde boy with blue eyes let out a sigh.
“Something wrong, America?” The one with the gas mask and bunny ears asked.
“It’s suspicious, Canada. What if they find the right code?” America explained.
The one with the black and red devil mask walked up to them.
“There is a chance, but I bet you one of them fell for it.” The one with the devil mask said.
“China is right, at least one should have.” The younger boy with Devil ears said.
“What if they haven’t, Spain?” America asked, looking at the younger boy.
“They must have, right, United Kingdom?” Spain asked, looking at the oldest of them all with a plastic bag on his head.
“Of course they did! It was my plan after all.” United Kingdom replied.
America stood back up, standing in the middle.
“All right, we did this part of the mission, but there is more left to it...” America said, grinning.
“...Let’s go say hello to the Leader of the ‘Ace Of Spades’.” America said, as they walked off...

- - - - -
- - Back at the Mansion, Tokyo - -
- 17:37 -
Rikishi opened the door, as he let out a sigh.
Akane slowly took a seat back up.
“So? What happened?” Akane asked.
“Well… We found one clue, we think.” Rikishi replied, showing the coordinates.
Akane looked up, noticing two people are missing.
“Where did Takumi and Ukato go?” Akane asked.
“Oh, they went to the mall. They said they will buy some accessories.” Rikishi said.
“Nokado, Kuruka. You two should check where the coordinate leads to, Tado and I will stay with Akane.” Rikishi explained.
“You got it, we’ll search into it.” Nokado replied, with a sarcastic salute.
- - - - -
- - Mall in Tokyo - -
- 17:40 -
Takumi let out a bothered sigh.
“Something wrong?” Ukato asked.
“You know, I was thinking...” Takumi said.
“... It’s getting really rough, isn’t it?” Takumi followed up.
“Rough indeed.” Ukato replied, smirking.
“So, what why did you want to go to the mall?” Ukato asked.
“We need some supplies, the fridge is almost empty, you know?” Takumi replied.
“That’s true, but I thought you wanted to grab something else from here.” Ukato said.
“No, just food.” Takumi replied, smiling.
They both walked to the cashier. Takumi’s eyes lightened up.
“Oh shit- I forgot the milk.” Takumi said.
“Then go get it quick.” Ukato replied.
“Okay, wait here.” Takumi said, running off to the milk.
He walks through the place, but he couldn’t find the milk.
“Where the hell did they place the milk?” Takumi asked to himself.
Sudden footsteps could be heard behind him-
“Searching for the milk?” A man asked, behind him.
“Yes, do you know where- !”
Takumi’s eyes widened up. When he turned, a pistol was aimed straight at his face. A man with white hair and purple eyes stood in front of him. His grin was huge, the man followed up with:
“... No need to thank me..." The man mumbled.
"...Ishido, Takumi.”

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
